How can I erase my data on iPhone5? I

My iPhone 5 is water damaged.  It works on Wi-Fi networks but does not register on any cell phone carrier towers.  All the applications work it is basically a very very small iPad.  I would like to sell it for parts and I'm trying to erase my account but I am stopped at the enter password screen.  Is there any other way to erase My account from the iPhone?  I have already linked my new phone to the iCloud account so I am also afraid to erase all of my data on the new phone.  When i erased the notes/reminders info from the broken phone it also erased the information on the new phone.  Help!

You need to deactivate icloud on your old phone.
The reason you are deleting stuff from the new phone is because they both have icloud and they sync.
Remove icloud from your old phone

Then erase it with settings/general/reset/erase content and settings

  • I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.How can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information.

    I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.I have a password on the phone but i'm not sure if I turned on the option where the phone resets if you incorrectly put the password more than ten time. I immediately called my phone company (Verizon) and reported the phone stolen.So I know whoever took the phone cannot place calls or use the phone. But can they still access my data on the phone if they manage to unlock the phone?  If so how can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information? is there any other way other than Find my IPhone to wipe off the data on the phone? I really don't want my personal information such as pictures, text messages, notes and social networks profile available to a stranger!!? Help please!!!

        Hello thewrongway,
    I'm sorry to hear about your phone!  I understand the need for an active device. You are able to activate an old device and process an insurance claim for your iPhone 4s within 60days from the incident date.  Keep in mind if the old phone is not a smartphone and you currently have unlimited data that feature will fall off.  If you have a tier data plan no changes will be made.  Please let me know if you have any additional questions.  Thank you.

  • How can I erase the data on my 2009 macbook pro that won't turn on because of a faulty motherboard? Do I just remove the hard drive, install it in a working mac, and erase it that way?

    You put the internal drive in an enclosure. If you choose to keep the drive, you don't need to erase it.

  • My friend borrowed my old iPhone 4. I wanted to erase all the data but I dont have a password and my friend doesnt know his password. How can I erase the data without using a password?

    My friend borrowed my iPhone. I want to sell the iPhone, but first I have to erase all the data that belong too my friend. I don't know his password and he doesn't know either. Is it possible to erase the data without using a password?
    thanks!

    You need the password if it is iCloud locked you won't be able to activate the phone for use.
    As long as he remembers his email,  you can reset the password
    If you forgot your Apple ID password
    or Forgot Apple ID
    https://iforgot.apple.com/appleid
    If it is a lock screen password, you can do a restore.
    Hold down power and home for 10 seconds and release power but keep holding down home. iTunes will say your phone is in recovery mode so you can restore it.

  • How can I erase data on TC from older MBP?

    I had a 1st. Gen. MBP and all it's data was backed up on my 1TB TC.
    I Recently bought the new 15" MBP and restored all data I had on older version by using my TC.
    My problem came when I turned on the TM on my new MBP...
    It made a full Backup, duplicating all data I had on my older version. and lowering the free space I had on my TC. instead of just keep going with my new MBP.
    How can I erase old data from my previous MBP on my TC?

    Welcome to the discussions!
    Open your Hard Drive and look under SHARED for the TC icon
    Click the icon and then double click the Time Capsule folder
    You should now see several xxxxx.sparsebundle files
    Each sparsebundle file displays the name of the computer and its MAC address
    Click the sparsebundle file that you want to delete
    Click the gear shaped icon just above and select Move to Trash
    Be very careful as the file will be deleted quickly and cannot be recovered.

  • How can i erase the OS from an external HD but retain some data?

    I have an external HD, a lacie 640gb triple interface, connected to my macbook pro via firewire. i have installed the OS to it as well as some data. The disk only has one partition. How can i erase everything [the operating system, applications etc] but keep some of my data in the disk? Which is the best way to do it? Should i use drive genius, which i have, to create a new partition to the HD, move the data that i do not want to be erased to it and then format the other partition and then reunite the two partitions or is there a better way to do it?
    Thank you for your help.

    No, as far as I know from this site, Drive Genius is your only hope. I have never used the product or that function though. Another member here says it works.
    Your other choice would be to store the data on another drive temporarily. Erase, partition and transfer back.

  • I erase my  iTunes library that was on an external hd by accident, how can i restore the data that i lost?

    I erase my  iTunes library that was on an external hd by accident, how can i recover the data that i lost?

    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy.  Use your backup copy to put everything back.
    If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup, not good, then  you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries:

  • Can I erase all data & recycle/exchange my MacBook bought in 2007-8? if so, how/where?

    Hello,
    Please could you advise/share your experience on below:
    * Can I erase all data and recycle/exchange my MacBook bought sometime in 2007-2008? If so, how/where (safely for my personal data and environment please)? The reason is that I have a newer MacAir and do not use the old laptop anymore. I live in the UK.
    * Also, is there such thing as making sure that all data is erased/removed from my laptop memory and hard drive? If so, how to do so?
    Thanks!

    I don't know where you can take it for recycling, but here are directions on how to prepare it: http://www.tuaw.com/2010/09/24/mac-101-preparing-your-old-mac-for-sale-or-recycl ing/.  If it still functions and you are looking to donate it, perhaps your local religious establishment or another non profit organization would benefit from its use.

  • How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

  • I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion.  how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

    In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
    iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
    She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
    Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
    I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
    She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.
