Did I damage my iPhone's built in security?
Bought an iPhone recently.
I was just playing around with it and like an idiot I went and erased all contacts and settings on my iPhone.
Setting> General>Reset>Erase all content and settings
When I turned my phone back on, it was like it was starting at the very start of initiating itself.
The first prompt was about what language I wanted and so forth, so it was like it was just brand new.
I had taken it to an apple store and they set me back up.
But now I’m concerned if I compromised the internal built in security of my phone by hitting that Erase all content and settings button
Like did I erase any of the built n safety/security functions?
I know people can “jail break” their phone and I hop I didn’t do that on accident.
I just want to make sure that I did not compromise the phones built security measures.
No, you did no harm at all. All you did was erase anything, other than the default, that you had added or installed. You literally did return it to the same state it was in when new, right out of the box - a full reset.

My sister gave me her iphone 4s for my son. It needed a new battery so, I bought one and replaced it. after doing so, it will not power up. I can only see the apple on the screen and when left for a few minutes.... 10 lines of numbers and codes show up at the top of the screen. Did I ruin the iphone by replacing the battery? Was a simple switch so I don't understand what is going on. Have never had one of these before.
iPhones are not user servicable.
Take the device to a competent repair person or buy a new one. -
I damaged my iphone 5s and want to get my photos back. It was submerged in water for a good five minutes (and is now in rice) but I'm pretty sure it's dead.
I really would like to get my photos back. I wasn't plugging in my iphone and backing up, I just assumed it did it automatically because about a week ago I had a message saying automatic backups were stopping as my icloud was full.
My work ipad is running on ios8 (as of a few days ago!) but my iphone was on ios7 as I didnt have enough space to install the update. This means that my icloud is now icloud drive and I cannot view the stuff from my ios7 device without upgrading it to ios8. Trouble is, I cant upgrade it because it's in a rice bowl.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! Any idea if I will be able to access my photos on icloud at all? I'm not very hopeful for my phone working again and downloading things that way!
Thanks!Photos that are in the cloud stay there until they are removed by a device that has the right privileges. If your iPad is logged in with the same AppleID, then doesn't it show the photos from iCloud?
You will only be on iCloud Drive if you expressly chose to upgrade. -

i damaged my iphone 5 and have been sent a new one, but i do not have enough storage to back up my phone and do not want to pay for more storage. can i get all of my contacts, photos, etc. on my new phone just by logging into my icloud account?
Not photos, just data synced with iCloud shown in Settings>iCloud. If you don't have sufficient storage to back up to iCloud, back up to your computer instead using iTunes (connect you phone to your computer, open iTunes, click on the name of your phone in iTunes, go to ths Summary tab of your iTunes sync settings and click Back Up Now). Also transfer your purchases to your iTunes library (connect your phone to your computer, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases). If you have photo stream photos older than 30 days tha you wan to save, save these to your camera roll before backing up (tap Select, tap the photos, tap the share icon -- box with upward facing arrow, then tap Save to Camera Roll).
When setting up your new phone, when given the option choose Restore from iTunes Backup and restore the backup you made earlier. -
I damaged my iPhone 4. I have ordered a new 4s. I never backed up or synced my contacts onto my sim card. Do you have to do that manually or will my contacts be on my phone when I put my sim card in the new iPhone 4s? (Will I be able to put my 4 sim card in my 4s?
The iPhone under normal circumstances does not store contacts on the SIM Card. It can read them, but again under normal circumstances does not write them to the SIM Card.
When you sync your new iPhone to iTunes on your usual computer you can restore from a Back-Up of your old iPhone to get Contacts and other data and files installed on your new iPhone. -

Is it a good idea to update my iphone 3GS with the new io6 software? I did it with my iphone 3G and the io4 software ruined it really!
Your plan is generally OK, but I would suggest a different approach, since you're so frazzled by it.
1. Update iPhoto first; check and backup the iPhoto Library;
2. Upgrade to Yosemite; This will prompt you to migrate to Photos, but you don't have to do it, so don't!
3. iPhoto 9.6.1 will remain in your Applications folder and you can continue to use it;
4. Learn more about Photos, it's features and how iCloud Photo Library really works (for example, once you turn it on, you won't need to download manually);
5. When you do feel you know enough about Photos, only then launch it to migrate your photos; after migration your iPhoto Library remains fully functional, in case you want to revert to using iPhoto, so that part should not worry you.
Thet biggest issue you have is the small amount of free space. You might want to address tha first, or locate your new Photos Library on an external drive as well, and only move it to your local drive when it's been optimized (or keep it on an external). -

Look on other screens and any folders (like utilities) on your iPhone.

I bought an iPhone 4S secnd-hand. The previous owner did not remove the iPhone from their iCloud account. I've tried contacting the previous owner, but they also do not know. What should I do now?
If they were the one who set the lock, send them this link.
If not, you need to contact the person who did or the device's original owner.

Did siri use in iphone 4, did siri use in iphone 4, did siri use in iphone 4
did siri use in iphone 4 ver 4.2.1
Unfortunately, Siri is only available on the iPhone 4S. There is a voice control in iOS4 and iOS5, but it is not nearly as advanced as Siri.
