Erasing content and data on iPhone 5.
I sold my iPhone 5 and I erased all content and data using the option found in the Settings tab and after that, the person told me he wanted me to activate it for him using my sim card, because he had a phone that didn't have the nano sim card. So, I activated again and then, he told me to turn it off first before removing the sim card. I'm not sure why he asked this, but I wanted to make sure this wasn't anything sketchy. After that, I went to the ATT store to get my nano sim card replaced to a standard sim card, because my old phone doesn't accept the nano sim. Am I okay? Or do I need to worry about something? He's a professor at my university, so I don't think I need to worry, but just need reassurance. Thanks.
There is no data stored on the SIM beyond account information. Once a new SIM is activated on the account, old SIMs are deactivated.
No, there is nothing to be concerned with.

is the a way to restore my iPhone 5 when it is no longer activated since i erased all content and data it keeps giving me this window that says my simcard is not recognizable does anyone know what to do?
Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

If I reset and erase contents from my old iphone will it effect the data I have already transferred to my ne iphone?
Hello ski12
Restoring or erasing all content and settings will just turn the feature of iCloud off and not deleting from iCloud. If you want to, turn off iCloud before you go through with erasing it.

Try removing the device from your account. That is discussed here:

Iphone crashed while Erasing contents and Settings
Hello, I tried to erase contents and settings from my iphone3. After the bar of progress was completed the apple with the spinning sun-thing appeared on the screen and has been there since yesterday no change. Can't turn it on or off and can't get the apple out of the screen. Any suggestion what I can do at this point to get my dear phone working again?
Thank you!
-YBFirst, reset your phone:
Press the sleep/wake button & home button at the same time, keep pressing until you(hopefully) see the Apple logo, then release(ignore the slide to power off).
Then, see if you can force the phone into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, itunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new. -
I bought an iphone5 from a friend and I want to delete his content and data from the phone but he cannot remember his password, how can I reset this iphone?
Figster512 wrote:
open the Settings app, then click General, then scroll all the way down and click Reset, then click Erase All Content and Settings.
Which will not work if he doesn't know the password for the Apple ID used in iCloud for Find My iPhone.

Time taken to clear content and data
I have just cleared the content and data from my 64G Ipad1, and it has been showing the Apple icon with progress bar (with no progress at all) for the past 3 hours. May I enquire how long does it usually take??
THe ipad does not respond at all now and it worries me. Is it normal??
Thanks in advance for the inputs.It shouldn't take but a minute or two.
You need to restore the device.

i clicked erase content and setting before 12 hours but it is not processing till ie not completed till what can i do
On a 4S the erase should take under 10 seconds. As it has taken longer there must have been data corruption on the phone. Reboot it by holding HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears. If it has not be cleared of all data connect it to iTunes and Restore it. Then erase again.

HT201274 Erasing content and settings
I just upgraded my iPhone to iPhone 5 and let my relative use my former iPhone 4. I just want want to make sure if erasing contents and settings in the reset command is the right one if I intend to retain the apps and media content in the phone.
1. Your friend cannot use your apps as they will be tied to your AppleID.
2. Erasing contents and contents and settings wipes the whole phone.
