How can I delete everything remotely on a stolen Iphone 4

How can I delete everything remotely on a stolen Iphone 4?

Apple - iPhone 4S - Locate your missing iPhone with Find My iPhone - http://www.apple.com/iphone/built-in-apps/find-my-iphone.html and: iCloud: Find My iPhone overview - http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2696
The following conditions ALL have to be met:
1) You have the "Find My" activated BEFORE you lose the device.
2) The device is turned on.
3) The device is able to connect to a registered wifi connection (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad).
4) The device was not restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).
If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.
Frankly in the case of a stolen phone this almost never works. Report it to the police.  Change passwords on accounts. Tell your carrier to stop service. Go shopping for a new phone.

    How can I delete everything from my Time Capsule?  Disk Utility only gives me the choices of First Aid and Restore.

    How can I delete everything from my Time Capsule?
    Disk Utility would be used for an internal hard drive on your Mac, or for a drive that was attached directly using USB or FireWire.
    The Time Capsule is a network drive. Disk Utility cannot be used for this type of drive.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utiltiies > AirPort Utility
    Click Manual Setup
    Click the Disks icon
    Click the Disks tab below the icon
    Click Erase
    The "Quick Erase" option will only take a minute or so. This would be fine if you plan to keep the Time Capsule yourself.
    If you plan to sell the Time Capsule, you would want to use a more secure erase, like "Zero Out", which will likely take 4-6 hours or so since everything on the drive will be replaced with zeros.

    How can I delete an iTunes account from my iPhone so it's no longer associated with my device?

    If you mean that it has the 90 day association : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4627
    then you can either wait for the 90 days to complete, or you can try contacting iTunes Support and see if they can remove the association : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

  • TS3899 How can i delete multiple e-mails from my iphone 4S. There are indicated more than 1500 e., but when i open the file there is indicated: no e-mail.

    How can i delete multiple e.mails from my iPhone 4 S. ? It shows the presence of more than 1500 e-mails. But when I try to open the account it shows that there a no e-mails. So i cannot delete them.

    I would disconnect the email on your phone...
    And reconnect again and if it still does that go on an actual computer, log on and delete the mails with ease...
    Hope this helps..it may just need to be refreshed...

  • Hi. How can I delete my icloud account on my iPhone? I don't have that email address I was using anymore. I tried deleting it but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi, How can I delete my icloud account on my iphone? I don't have that email address I was using before anymore and I already tried deleting the account but it is asking for the password and I don't remember it.

    Hi ale.vica,
    You need to go to Manage your Apple ID, https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/, and sign in with your current Apple ID and password and do the following:
    1.     Edit your current Apple ID and change it back to the ID which is displaying for your iCloud account. You do not need to verify it - this is only a temporary change
    2.     Go into Settings>iCloud on your device and delete the iCloud account. Use your current password when your are prompted for a password
    3.     Once the old iCloud account is deleted, go back into Manage your Apple ID and change your ID back to the current one
    4.     Go back to Settings>iCloud and sign on with your current ID and password
    That should take care of your issue!
    Cheers,

  • How can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    how can I delete a photo folder from my iphone 4s?

    Hey Ravengirlaa,
    Great question! The answer is going to depend on how the photos were originally organized:
    A) The albums were synced to your iPhone from iTunes
    B) The albums were manually created on your iPhone from photos in the Camera Roll
    The following excerpt would apply for situation B:
    excerpt from page 71 of the iPhone User Guide - http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
    If the photos were synced from your computer, please refer to this article (section "To delete photos and videos from your device"):

  • How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone, since it doesn't synch with my ipad?

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone 4, since it doesn't sync with my ipad mini?

    Go to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address (you shouldn't need to verify the old account).  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • How can i delete an icloud account from my iphone

    How can I delete my icloud account from my iphone. I have two icloud accounts the old one just can not retrieve the pwd to access it

    If the old ID is your ID, and if your second ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID.  Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change.  Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address.  You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll.  When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud).  Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was.  Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

  • Hey there, I have an iPhone 3g that was synced to my computer. My computer got stolen with all my music on it. I have a new computer but I can't sync my computer to my iPhone. How can I recover everything that's on my iPhone 3g to my computer?

    Hey there, I have an iPhone 3g that was synced to my computer. My computer got stolen with all my music on it. I have a new computer but I can't sync my computer to my iPhone. How can I recover everything that's on my iPhone 3g to my computer?

    If your backup copy of your computer was not stolen, then use it to put everything back.
    Otherwise, authorize your computer for your itunes account, connect iphone, do not sync, Click:  File>Transfer Purchases
    This will transfer itunes purchases from the iphone to the computer.
    Enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer.  When you first sync, then you should get the option to merge the data.

  • How can I delete this U2 album from my iPhone it's not letting me do it like I normally do

    How can I delete this U2 album from my iPhone it's not letting me do it like I normally do

    King Penguin,
    Your response does not address the actual question.
    The issue is that once downloaded to a device (iPhone) etc. It cannot be deleted via any means. Went through troubleshooting with Apple on phone last night and they're puzzled by it... it's getting sent to their engineers.
    The larger issue is that the album downloads AUTOMATICALLY when you have your purchases synced, on wifi, and listening to music on full shuffle.
    Telling people to just "hide it" and change your phone's settings to not sync is a pretty big "whoopsie" by Apple and Apple Support Community members.
    BAD MOVE APPLE!

  • How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

    How can I delete useless memory on both my iPhone and my Macbook Pro?

    I don't know much about iPhones but when you write "memory" do you mean the data on your hard drive on your MacBook Pro? If so, simply drag the items you deem as useless into the Trash and empty the Trash. DON'T fool around with any of the system items, just your own documents that you feel that you no longer need.
    You can get an answer on freeing up space on your iPhone in the iPhone forum.
