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]

  • Is there any way to access my data in case i didnt back up my data on icloud and also erased the data from my iphone?

    I accidentally erased all my data from my iphone and plus i also forgot to take the back up of the same, so i want to ask is there any way to get my data back?

    There might be an outside chance of getting the data back from your iPhone, if it hasn't been overwritten. There are some programs you can run on your computer to scavenge files from your iPhone, even though they have been deleted. You'll need to search on the Internet to find those programs, and then you'll have to buy one of them. And, it's always a "buyer beware" situation when you do that, so research carefully.
    Here's one search to start with ...

  • 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.

  • How can I erase all photos from my iPhone with ios 8?

    I want to clean up my iPhone 5 before creating a back up so I can restore my new iPhone 6 with a clean backup. I only want to retain text messages, email accounts etc. but do not want my photos. How can I erase all the photos in my iPhone using ios 8?
    Any help is much appreciated

    To delete all of the photographs from your device, do the following:
    Open Photos.
    Open the Photos tab.
    If the Moments view isn't visible, then switch to it by zooming in.
    Press Select.
    Select each group of photographs.
    Press the delete button and then confirm the action.

  • 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:

  • I want to erase the data from my iphone so I can trade it in for a new one.  However, my husband and I share a calendar and address book.  I don't want to lose all his contact info--is there a safe way to do this?

    I need to upgrade my phone.  But my husband and I somehow ended up sharing our contacts and calendar.  So I'm afraid if I wipe my phone, his phone will get wiped, as well.  How do I make sure that he doesn't lose all his info when I clear my phone out?

    It will not delete his items if you erase you're phone.

  • 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.
