Giving iPhone 4 to family member, already erased all content and settings
I am giving my iPhone 4 (Verizon) to my younger brother who is in college b/c I picked up a iPhone 5 (Verizon) yesterday. I have already erased all content and setting via the reset. I have also went to the apple page to unregister the device under my apple id and phone number. Now I have heard horror stories of people selling their iPhones and for some reason the person who they sold it to will get the sellers iMessages. Has anyone experienced this before with selling Verizon CDMA phone?
That's a great question, Vell! I can understand why this is important to you! I can confirm that you have taken all the necessary steps to ensure that your brother does not receive your iMessages. I have also provided you with a great link that should soothe any lingering concerns...http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627 Have a great day!

I am trying to Erase All Content and Settings from my ios and it is asking for a 4 digit passcode but I dod not set any passcode for my iphone. I've reset it before and never asked now it is showing after the new IOS6 update.
Is there a default passcode or where can I get the code?
Thanks,If you are referring to the passcode lock you can restore the iPad by connecting it to your computer and using iTunes.
If you are being asked for your Apple ID and password you will have to enter that. No way around it. -
I make reset the iPhone 3 , impress the erase all content and setting . I wait 12 hours already I don't got the screen come up only I saw is apple icon only . How I have to be get back my home screen
Did you have modified software installed before you tried to reset the phone? If yes, jailbreaking the device has made it useless.

I wanted to delete the information i had stored on the phone, so thought i had to 'Erase All Content and Settings' however i fear this may of been incorrect, I cannot load the setup on the phone now, all i get is; 'we are unable to contiue with this activation, please try again later or contact customer care, i have tried to do this several times now to no avail

Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails. This is not a jailbroken iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?
If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:

I am asking this because my iPhone 4S is really starting to slow down. And I think is mainly due to the deleted text messages bug (i.e., they are still searchable in spotlight!), therefore not deleted off my phone and slowing it down. There are big delays opening up apps (especially Messages) and now, sometimes, my phone won't even vibrate when texts come in. I also just want to completely wipe the slate clean and start fresh, but I still would like to save the SMS conversations I already have. So I guess what I am afraid of is wiping my phone then iTunes sees the phone as a completely new phone and not "Drew's iPhone" therefore making a restore impossible. Would this be an issue at all?? Thank you!
If you restore your phone as new - your text message will be deleted from the phone.
If you erase all contents and settings and then restore from a backup, your text message will still be there. -

I gave my ipad 2 to my brother last month. After that he erased all content and settings, sign in with his apple id. The next day until now, I found out that I can not udpate my apps both on my iPhone and iPad Air. I had create new apple id, change my password, delete the icloud acc. But still I can not update my apps. I have many of red notifications on iPhone and iPad Air. What should I do? Thank you in advance.
1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
Is your iPad working? -
I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail account
her contacts are connected directly with the Google Server so as long as they are saved to her Gmail account she should be 100% fine.. the only contacts she may lose are the ones that she added directly onto the phone and did not sync to her Gmail account.. so you should just double check with her on that

Hello im trying to "erase all content and settings" on my iphone 4, but it keeps asking for a 4 digit passcode and i have no idea what that passcode is. It's none of my previous passwords I've had on the phone since i've used it. How do i find out that Passcode?
Are you sure it's asking for a four digit code?
iOS 7 has a new feature called Activation Lock. It requires your Apple ID and password before doing something like an iPhone reset. This is a new anti-theft feature. -
no i'm using iPhone 4 16GB. i want to know how long does it take for "Erase All Content and Settings"?does it affects to iPhone's hardware? and if i want to restore my software in iPhone back, how i can do it?
it takes hours
it does not damage or wear out hardware
and you can restore any backup afterwards as yo see fit -
I am using iPhone 5 and tried to Erase All Contents and Settings but it is just showing an apple sign on the screen and nothing is happening now for about 3 days now. All it does is eat up my battery and still show apple sign after charging! Help!!!!
Hi DaVince Vince,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

Why is the sound on my laptop not lining up with the video?
for the past week or so every video I play, whether it's on Amazaon, Hulu, or Youtube, the audio is ahead of the video. There's about a quarter second delay between them which makes it very difficult to watch.
