Erase all data from iPhone is really sure?

Hi everybody, is just this question :
I sold an iphone 4, one years ago, and i performing a restore from itunes and update it to IOS6 (after restore, obviously i not do the backup).
I just forgot to remove my ID from apple Facetime and iMessage, but I changed the password for my account (i think the new guy have insert the personal ID).
I see that iPhone 4 have encryption mode during/after the restore, i can feel sure that my all sensible data are erased from this phone?
Thanks to all and sorry for my English.

  • Erase all data from original iPhone

    I've upgraded to the iPhone 3G and am in the process of selling the 1st generation. My cell service has been transferred to the new phone - the sim card that came with the 3G is now in the original phone. I want to be sure to all my data is erased. Since it's not an active phone, how do I do that? Can I take the sim from the 3G, install in the original and then erase all data?

    If you are selling your 2G iphone, I may be interested. I just broke the screen of mine and found out that replacing it cost almost as much as a 3G. I don't want a 3G as AT&T charges more per month would also charge for texting. Thanks! You can contact me at [email protected]

  • Got new ipad 4 now can't erase all data from old ipad2

    Want to erase all data on old ipad2 because I bought a new ipad4 but it asks for Apple ID password and won't let me use password.

    If "it won't let you use" your password, try resetting the password.

  • Erase all data from my 2001 iMac?

    I just turned on my old 2001 iMac (the cute blue color), and discovered to my surprise that it started and is running without a problem (I haven't even looked at it since i bought my powerbook 3 years ago). I'd like to sell the iMac.
    How do I clear it of all the personal data I have on it, so i can sell it without worry? And, what do you think i could get for it?
    thanks.

    Use Disk Utility to Erase the hard drive. Boot to the Tiger DVD or CD-ROM. Select your langauge. Select Disk Utility from the Installer menu. Choose the Zero All Data option in the Security screen. I'm not sure how much money exactly such a iMac would sell for. iMac DVs with Matshita SR-8184 DVD-ROM drives are worth the most. This is because the slot loading DVD-ROM drive can be flashed to RPC1. This means the drive is region free & can play DVDs from any region of the world.

  • Erasing ALL data from iPad - Is it possible to retrieve info?

    Hi there,
    I have a quick question.
    When erasing all content and settings from the iPad to sell it, is it possible to retrieve the lost data at all? (With any high tech data retrievel software or something magical)
    I want to be 100% that if I restore the iPad to factory settings there is NO WAY that someone will be able to get my personal info back. (Even it comes down to removing the SSD from the iPad and using a special tool or something)
    Many thanks

    100%? No, of course not. You can never be assured 100% of anything. If the FBI/NSA were interested in you, and wanted to extract information from your iPad, they would probably have a jolly good try, and would possibly be able to retrieve information. High-level law enforcement agencies tend to have these tools. If you think you might fall into a group of people who such agencies might be interested in, it's almost certainly worth the $700 for you just to smash your iPad to tiny bits with a hammer rather than sell it on.
    If not, though ... no, a random Joe you sell your iPad onto won't be able to retrieve your data once you securely wipe it. 256-bit AES encryption is even used and recommended by the US government:

  • Got new iPhone 6 and backed up all data from iphone 4 to cloud and taking hours to restore to new phone

    RRestoring from iCloud backup to iPhone 6 from 4 and when I check cloud storage settings it shows iPhone 4 with all the data and none for new iphone 6 should I delete the iPhone 4 backup

    Hi janicefrombel air,
    Be aware it can take quite a while for it to restore.
    If you need help restoring an iCloud backup
    The restore process is taking a long time to finish.
    The amount of time needed by the restore process depends on your geographical location and the speed of your Internet connection. Even with a fast Internet connection, the restore process might take 1 to 4 hours per gigabyte to complete
    So if you have several gigabytes to restore, it may be an overnight process.
    You might try backing up and restoring with a computer. See the section "Use iTunes" in this article:
    Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes

  • Erasing all data from Time Capsule

    I bought a 500gb TC from Best Buy less than a month ago. Before purchasing I asked about the capacity. I explained to the salesperson that after a crash a year ago I was able to locate my most important files by connecting to my Powerbook and backed them up onto 6-8 DVDs. He said that was about 30gb. I also said that I had the Powerbook and a Mac Mini with about the same or a little less data that would be backed up. He assured me that 500gb would be plenty of room.
    After backing up all three with no new data, 2/3 of the capacity has been used. I am planning on returning the 500gb and getting a 1T. Hopefully I can do so without incurring a restocking fee.
    How do I do a clean erase of the Time Capsule before exchanging? I do not want any of my information left on it. Also how much time should I anticipate the process taking? Thanks in advance for all responses.

    How do I do a clean erase of the Time Capsule before exchanging?
    Go to Airport Utility --> Manual Setup --> Disks --> Highlight "Time Capsule Disk" on the left --> Click "Erase" on the right.
    Rename the disk and select the level secure erasure.

  • Synching ringtones erases all music from iPhone?

    I know how to make ringtones, but when I click the "snych" button on the ringtones tab for my phone in iTunes, it warns me that synching ringtones will remove all music and video from the iPhone. I tried it anyway, and it did remove everything else that I had syched previously. Why would this happen and how can you avoid it?

    Well, it makes absolutely no sense, but I discovered that I can synch ringtones by dragging and dropping from the ringtones section of the library to the iPhone when it's connected to the laptop. It seems dumb to have everything else erased from the iPhone if ringtones are synched from the iTunes screen, but synching ringtones (and other content in the library) with drag-and-drop works fine so I'll just do that from now on...

  • Transfer ALL data from iPhone 3GS to iPhone 4s

    Hey guys,
    My daughter recently got an iPhone 3GS, and wants to buy herself an iPhone 4S.
    I know she plays a lot of games on her 3GS, like Clash Of Clans and things like that.
    I was just wondering how to transfer all of those files onto her new phone. Would it be better to go through iCloud and backup there, or to connect to our computer and take a backup, then restore it from there?
    Thank you for your help

    Thank you very much Templeton, that helped me out of a jam
    And a very quick response as well

    I have installed the new Itunes into my PC. But, I'm affraid that i will loose all the datas on my Iphone during Sync with Itunes.
    Can you please let me know step by step how to proceed without loosing my valuable datas in my Iphone and transfer onto my PC using I Tunes.
    Please advise.
    Have a pleasant day and Thanks for the help.
    With Best regards,
    VJ

    Hi VJ and welcome to the Forums,
    First, as you will log in with your Apple Store account in iTunes, although you have been syncing with a different computer, you can add/merge your contacts and photos. You can transfer as well your apps.
    In regards to music files, you may use some third party software to recover them.
    Don't forget to authorize with your account as the first step.

  • Erased all content from iPhone

    Hi All experts out there - Over the weekend I deleted my wife's old iPhone from FindmyIphone - Well that's what I thought, turns out it was both her old and new phones. That would have been fine, we had most of our contacts, calendars, reminders and notes to the icloud, but not her photo's - we recently had a baby which she has now lost all. They were not in Photo steam, they were only in camera roll, are they all lost, also why does these photo's not go into Photo stream automatically or even every 24 hours?? It effectively made the phone think it was brand new, with not even language selected?
    Need your thoughts please!!

    She needs to sync her phone to HER account on HER computer with HER iTunes library. Syncing with YOUR iTunes library does exactly what you described. By design.

  • Erasing all data from it?

    How can I format it to ensure that any data on it can not be retrieved?
    Thanks.

    Could try using disk utility to reformat and wipe securely at the same time. Make sure you format it in DOS.
