How to clean an Iphone to offer it to someone else

I want to offer my Iphone 4 to someone else but I want to clean it first so that the other person cannot see my stuff.
Can anyone explain to me how shall I do that?
Thanks

Connect your phone, iTunes running. on the "Summary" pane, hit the restore button. When finished, eject your phone, do not sync. Your phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box, with all of your data erased.

How can I access my emails from iCloud on someone else's device

How do I access my mail from iCloud on someone else' device

www.icloud.com - sign in using your Apple ID and password. You will have access to your iCloud mail, Contacts, reminders, calendar, and Find My iDevice.

If Iq backup my iPhone using my icloud can someone else using the same Apple ID as me back up their iPhone to icloud?

If Iq backup my iPhone using my icloud can someone else using the same Apple ID as me back up their iPhone to icloud?

If they sign into your iCloud account with your ID, their iCloud backup would then be in your account. However, they would also be sharing your iCloud account and any data they sync with the account (contacts, calendars, etc.) will be merged with yours and the merged list will appear on both phones. They would also be able to access your email account and their photo stream photos would be merged with yours (as you would be sharing the same photo stream). Furthermore, if they are using iOS 7 and turn on Find My iPhone while signed into your account, their phone will require your iCloud ID and password in order to be turn off Find My iPhone, sign out of iCloud or erase and reactivate their phone.
Unless you wish to share all this data, and have the other person's data merged with yours you should do this. (iCloud accounts are really designed to be used by a single person.)

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps listed in this support article, take these steps:
1. Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
2. Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
3. If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
4. If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
5. If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
6. If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
7. If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the one remaining data partition with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer to the buyer.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either. The buyer will have to purchase them.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

HT1766 how do I remove an "encripted backup password" that someone else setup on MY computer????

How do I remove a "encripted backup password" that someone else put on my computer??

You can't. Either find out what it is, or you'll have to delete all of your existing backups, restore your phone as a new device & start over.

After a reboot my iPhone 6 Plus now has someone else's Apple ID as the login??? I bought the phone 3 months ago brand new!

The title says it all.
Some background info:
1. I purchased the iPhone 6 Plus new in the box at Target on January 10 2015. The phone has only ever been mine, and it was not a refurbished device.
2. Absolutely no one else has access to my PC or iTunes, whether it be physical access or knowing my usernames or passwords.
What happened;
1. Phone fell out of my hand face down on my patio. It had the leather Apple case on it. Picked it up and sure enough the entire front screen was smashed.
2. Phone responds to touch, but not property. I contemplate doing a backup and then resetting but I skip that and just do a "erase all content and settings"
3. Phone reboots and prompts me for this Apple ID (x*****@1*****.com) to log in.
4. That is NOT my Apple ID, not even close
5. I have no idea how the strange Apple ID is now embedded in MY phone, I have absolutely no way to access my own phone!
What I have done:
1. Called and spoke to several Apple reps; technical, Apple care, customer service, and then finally a senior supervisor named Matt.
2. Matt spent over an hour on the phone with me discussing this and he decided I should email him my proof of purchase directly through an Apple link that he emailed me.
3. I scanned every document I had with the receipt, paperwork, IMEI info and sent it over. He reviewed and says he will have to put in a request to do a force unlock which will remove the strange Apple ID and allow me back in
4. I set up an appointment at the nearest Apple Store to fix the phone. They do not know of the Apple ID issue and I was told they wouldn't be equipped to handle that anyway until the phone would be able to be unlocked.
5. So now I have to wait for Apple to force unlock my phone before (hopefully) my appointment on Tuesday so I can get in to it and they can fix it
Now from all the people I have talked to and all the Googling I have done I have found no reference to this happening to anyone ever. The only related incidents like mine is if someone bought the phone through another consumer or sold it online and did not wipe their ID properly. This however doesnt apply to me since I bought it from Target, unless they sold me some second hand phone.
Any opinions or insights on what it is that has actually happened to my phone from the time it broke and rebooted to magically having someone else's Apple ID as the authentication?
I really hope someone here has some insight.
Thank you.

The answer is very simple: You were not the original owner of the phone. Target sold you a phone that had been returned. You can verify the date of the original sale here: Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage. I suspect you will find that the warranty expiration date is not one year from the date that you bought it.

How do I un-link my email address from someone else's Apple ID?

Recently someone in India bought an iPhone 5 and now every time he downloads an app to it, I get the receipt for it in my inbox. His apple ID is his gmail address, which is somewhat similar to mine, so I'm guessing he set my email address as his accidentally, and was apparently able to do so without verification (I find it hard to believe Apple would allow this, but apparently they do). I tried to log on to his Apple ID account to change the settings, but the recovery email address for the password reset is not set to my email address. So, can anyone help me figure out how to get his Apple ID unlinked from my email address? I would be grateful.
I got on gmail ca 2004 and was able to get simply my first name @gmail, which seemed amazing at the time, but now that the whole Indian subcontinent is getting online in full force, with many people apparently not understanding that you can't just use any email address you want, and because my first name is a common name in Pakistan and India, people accidentally sign me up for mailing lists over there multiple times a day. I get resumes sent to me daily, responses for classified ads that I didn't post, and often the sites are set up such that I have to log on to unsubscribe, but I don't have the password so I can't...it's getting out of control! How is it possible that Apple allows this kind of mistake as well by not requiring email verification?

I made up the names edward and daniel, it's not actually anyone's email address, so no need for concern.
In practice, I'm sure you're right that I would have fewer problems with a longer, more complex email address. But in principal, the problem remains. I could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678@gmail
and someone else could sign up for the Apple ID
1234.NoOneWillEverUseThisAddress.5678+1@gmail
and apple would have no problem with it, even though for all intents and purposes it's the same email address. So the problem is not just the ambiguity of my, to use Dahveed's words, overly simplistic and unsophisticated, email address:
there is a fundamental flaw in the way Apple links email addresses to accounts that allows for this ambiguity. If they followed the same conventions that gmail did, there would be no possibility of this problem.

Hey how can i find my ipod with icloud on someone else ipod or computer

he y i got my ipod stolen today but i have my find my ipod i just would like to know how to find it on icloud from my computer or someone else ipod

Log in to your iCloud account in the Find my iPhone app or at iCloud.com.
Bear in mind that your iPod does not have GPS so any location will only be very rough. It also needs to be connected to the Internet, so needs an open WiFi network it's already used.

How do you forward a contact's details to someone else?

My previous Nokia used to allow me to select a contact & then I cld forward it (the full contact details) to someone else's phone no. (with the press of 1 button). The iPhone 3G doesn't seem to have this basic feature that I can see (all you seem to be able to do with contacts is either edit them or add them to favourites) - I had to SMS the necessary details to someone (after I'd typed them into the SMS msg) which is quite antediluvian. Anyone have any ideas?

Clearly not, and for the most part Apple should be commended for this. Their ability to look forward, not backwards, allows them to produce uncluttered, easy to use products. But sometimes their insistence on simplicity comes at the cost of essential features - such as cut and paste or MMS (the whole purpose of cell phone cameras is to allow you to send photos to other cell phones, right?) Sometimes Apple's omission of certain key features is so glaring as to seem more like the result of a shortage of Apple programmers rather than the result of some minimalist design decision or forward thinking. I believe that the absence of certain essential "old" PDA features on the iPhone, such as the ability to easily forward contact information, is an example of this.

Replacement iPhone keeps coming up with someone else's Apple ID

Hi All,
Yesterday I took my iPhone 4s to the Genius Bar which resulted in me getting a replacement phone. I was very happy with this until my phone is constantly asking me to sign in with my Apple ID but it is giving someone else's email address. I am constantly having to retype my email address and password at random times, not only when downloading updates from the App Store. It is now getting as frustrating as the initial problem I had with the old phone so almost wishing I hadn't bothered. Does anyone know of a solution please?!!

Thank you!! Was sceptical that this would work as had already checked that I was definitely signed in but it seems to have solved it, thanks!!

I bought the little camera lens cleaning kit at Ritz Camera here in the US. I don't know what brands you have in your country but a camera shop should be able to sell you their version of the cleaner and cloth. Always spritz the cleaner on the cloth rather than the phone.
Thank you will look for that an buy some coz the finger prints are killing me!!
