Hi. I want to sell my phone how can i prevent anyone from recovering my photos and vids??

Hi. I want to sell my iphone but I don't want the buyer or anyone to recover my pics and vids and everything isthis possible? How can i abandon the phone? And how can I prevent the buyer recovering my pics and vids and data?? Thanks

Two different things -
The phone is different than your Apple ID
Ergo - if you turn off Find my iPhone and restore as new from iTunes to where there is the Hello screen - it essentially has cleaned out your information - can some one still get information from files on the hard drive - probably but the expense to get that (not knowing what you have on there) versus benefit - would deter most people. AND it would mean taking the phone apart - I would not worry too much about that.
I would not delete the Apple ID - you can use that to sync your next phone with the backup

  • How can I prevent Bridge from altering my photos?

    HELP!!!
    Within the past few days my Bridge CS4 program has been making my life miserable. I had been utilizing the program to batch photos from my extensive photo library, rename them, sort them (i.e., change sort/ordinal number), and the like without any difficulty and then suddenly, after executing such processes my thumbnails turned completely white and would not open in Bridge, Photoshop CS4 Extended - much less anything else. I tried reopening them as .jpg's, .psd's, .tiff's to no avail. I went into properties on each photo and checked the "open with" tab, and it noted that the photo was not recognized. I had some moderate success opening them with Quicktime Picture Viewer, but converting them back to a Bridge readable format (i.e., their original state) proved impossible. Having noticed that Quicktime had hijacked nearly my entire photo opening process, I uninstalled it in the hope that it would solve the problem. It didn't. I then went into Bridge and Photoshop CS4 preferences to try and modify how photos were opened, and couldn't seem to find anything applicable. I did, however, increase the memory and cache allocated to each program substantially.
    Last night I ran into more problems with Bridge. While scanning both photo negatives and prints into Bridge and saving them into various files, I encountered the same problem indicated in paragraph one. I tried scanning several of them a second time and succeeded; however, I had to save them to a different file and give them dissimilar names in .tiff format. In the process I found more than a dozen ways to spell "Mexico," "Tokyo," and "Ukraine"! They would not save as .jpg's or .psd's.
    I use Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, have a Pentium 4 Dual Core (2.8) processor, 4 GB Memory, Nvidia GE Force 7600 video card (yes, the drivers are up to date), and Hewlett Packard Photosmart C7180 and C7280 printers for scanning. All of the photos involved are stored on a Maxtor One Touch 1TB Turbo auxillary hard drive.
    Also, could anyone suggest how I can get the  SD/MMC card reader on my PC to work?
    Thanks to any and all for assisting me with my problem.

    Thank you curt y for your quick response. I have seen your recommendations on the adobe forums link in the past and many of your solutions
    seem to have helped other people with Bridge problems. I took your suggestion and gave it a whirl - all preferences were restored to defaults - and the problem continues. I get the feeling the problems lies with the program's interaction with Windows.
    Having tried a few more things, I've found that I can move the photo shell (the inscription underneath the thumbnail states, "Window Shell Common") to my desktop and open it there with Photoshop (i.e., going through the song and dance of "open with" and clicking on the CS4 icon, where it opens up in RAW). I must then move it over to Photoshop CS4 and save it as a .jpg or a .psd. Unfortunately, after all this it still won't open in Bridge. By all appearances, Bridge somehow has become corrupted and I'm probably going to have to do a complete Photoshop CS4 uninstall and reinstall.
    I've spent hundreds - if not thousands - of hours scanning into my system some 10,000 photographs of my travels (yes, they are backed up on discs), and Bridge should not be negatively impacting my ability to organize and manipulation them as is happening now. If the uninstall/reinstall does not resolve the problem, I'll be back on this forum for more suggestions.
    As for the card reader issue, I'm well aware of the 2GB/over 2GB issue. I typically use a 4GB or more card in my camera. I can download fine through my HP 7180 and 7280 card readers, but my HP 1518n card reader is a different story. I'll work a little more on it, too.
    Thanks again.

    Have you tried resetting your preferences by holding down the Ctrl key and starting Bridge?  You will get a reset window, choose all 3 options.
    The only thing I know about card readers is that there are 2 versions.  One for cards of 2 gigs or less, and one for HD cards over 2 gigs.  Make sure card and reader match.

    I use to administrate my DSL modem via an ip-address. When I enter it into FF8 I am asked where to save the file. Why and how can I prevent FF8 from doing that?
    And now anytime I am entering an ip-address I am asked if I want to download the file.

    It happens when the modem server doesn't send the file as text/html, but with another MIME type.<br />
    I tried the index.html addition in case the server might send that file as text/html.<br />
    If your DSL modem has a support website then you can try to ask there for advice about how to configure the modem server.

    Make sure to have a backup of each device, then use the backup to restore the phone after you have set it up as new device, explained in this article:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    Choosing an iOS backup method (Should I use iTunes or iCloud to back up my iOS device?)
    Check this article about the content of the backup.

    Don't forget to deactivate the Activation Lock on both phones:

    No one here can help you, nor can/will Apple. Unless you can get that info, you won't be able to restore the phone, to sell it, or re-activate it.
    You need to somehow get back in touch with your girlfriend & obtain this info, or all you'll own is a paperweight.

  • How can I prevent Firefox from re-installing test pilot?

    I had removed the test pilot extension and its feedback button in Firefox 4.0b9. I let Firefox upgrade itself to 4.0b10 and didn't notice that silently re-installed it.
    I was typing in another application when suddenly that window was minimized and the focus shifted to a Firefox "new test pilot study" window that popped up. Even if I had given permission for that software to be installed, that is rude.
    I am not willing to trust that if I disable this logging software that it will stay disabled the next time I upgrade. I will remove test pilot again. '''How can I prevent Firefox from re-installing it?'''
    One way might be to set extensions.rdf read-only. However, I do not wish to lose the ability to install add-ons, I merely do not want anybody (including Mozilla) to install an add-on without my permission.
    https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=519357 doesn't seem to address this problem as test pilot is a known component. Its not a plug-in so I can't modify the plugin scanning settings to prevent it from being loaded. Is there some way I can reliably supplement http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/blocklist/ with a local block list file? If so, would I have to update that whenever a new version of test Pilot is released?

    I'm not sure what you mean by "re-directs e-mails." Are the recipient addresses changing between the time you address the message and the time it is sent?
    If you could provide more information I think that would help in tracking this down.
    When you use Firefox to work with your webmail site, whether Yahoo! or Gmail or another, the mechanics of sending the mail are handled by the site itself. So if there is a problem with how messages are addressed, then you may need to check your Yahoo! mail settings.

    Ah, but wouldn’t it be ever so much easier to explain if you actually provided (a lores of) the image in question?
    And how do I make the background transparent?
    Preferably with a Layer Mask and then saving in the appropriate file format (psd or png24 for example support transparency).

  • I have been trying to work on my homework all afternoon, via NAU's blackboard system. I am continuously getting booted out of the system, with an error stating "Data execution prevention". How can I prevent this from continuing?

    I have been trying to work on my homework all afternoon, via NAU's blackboard system. I am continuously getting booted out of the system, with an error stating "Data execution prevention". How can I prevent this from continuing?

    If you are wondering why you are not getting any responses, it is because you have vented a complaint without any details that make any sense or give anyone something to work on.
    If you want help, I suggest actually detailing what has happened, with versions of software etc. Anything that would let us assist.
    As a start I am guessing that you have not really got the hang of "How it all works". Firstly download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf from under the Help menu. Read that and view the Video Tutorials in the same place. A good addition would be the iWork 09 Missing manual book and something to help you learn how to use your Mac.
    If there are specific tasks you need help with:

    How do I prevent Adobe from taking my jpegs and making them pdf files? I have had to uninstall Adobe to access my photos as jpegs.

    I would suggest you change your file associations so that jpgs open in a program other than Acrobat.  Assuming you have a Windows machine, just go to the Start, and search for "file associations" ... it's part of the Control Panel.
    Scroll down to the file type jpg, and set it to open with whatever graphic preview or editing program you have that you want to use as the default.  From that point on, when you click on a jpg, it should not open Acrobat and instantly try to convert it to a pdf.

  • How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only?

    How can I remove iCloud from my Mac Book and iPad and Mac Book Air and then just reload back on the MB Air and iPad only, which have a different user with a separate Apple ID?

    You have quite muddied up the waters, I'm afraid. Assuming you now have a single GUID partition formatted Mac OS Extended, Journaled, you should try reinstalling Lion:
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
    Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
