How to delete content from old iPhone

Hi. My problem is a bit complex, I would say. I have just bought a new iPhone and sold my old iPhone. When I was about to delete and reset all the stuff on my old, i couldn't because i couldn't remember my password for the restrictions in settings (english is not my primary language, so sorry if some of the words are not completely correct in the context of iPhone). I ended up restoring the old iPhone and leave it as it was when restored (no content and with the itunes logo on the screen) and afterwards gave the new owner the iPhone. But on my mac and new iPhone it is still possible for me to see the icloud tabs on my old iPhone (even though the new owner has restored his iPhone and logged in with his own apple id. After realizing this, he installed the find my iphone app and logged in with my account. This was something I saw on an apple article about resetting your old iPhone. By doing this I could erease my data from his iPhone from my mac. But when he did that, his iPhone didn't appear on my screen, as I thought it would. Now, is there anything, anything at all, I can do to delete my old iPhone from my account? Or do i really have to get my old iPhone back and set it up with my own account, for therefore at reset the iPhone using the find my iPhone app? Please help I hope all this makes just a little sense.
Thanks!

I hope I'm understanding your situation correctly.
Once you've erased the old phone Find My Phone is erased too so that's why you can no longer see it in iCloud. To delete your old phone from your account start iTunes and log into your account. From there you can delete the old phone in Manage Devices.

  • I am sorry but I don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone that were sys from a computer.

    I just don't understand how to delete photos from my Iphone placed there by Syc.

    Well, if they were synced fomr a computer then the iPhone says the computer "owns" them for instructional purposes.  You have two options.
    1) Plug your iPhone up to any computer with iTunes.  You can get itunes at www.itunes.com  Then tell it to sync photos, but then select no photos or an empty folder.  This will override what the previous computer put on your iPhone.
    2) Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings and say goodbye to everything including those synced photos.  If you make a quick backup first in iCloud (be sure it finishes) then you can restore form your iCloud backup via Wifi and those synced photos wont be there.  How to backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766

  • HT201269 Advice on how to transfer EVERYTHING from old iphone to new....

    Hi guys,
    I've just upgraded from an iPhone 4 16gb to an iPhone 4S 64gb (simply due to space) and I want the new phone to have everything that the old one has on it, including LOADS of music imported from CD's, and ebooks not purchased from iBooks, but copied onto my iPhone from CD's/DVD's that I've bought elsewhere.
    I'm figuring that I need to basically make the iTunes on my laptop a duplicate of my iPhone rather than the other way round, but I have no idea how to do this.
    I've tried doing a backup of the iphone onto the computer but it conveniently leaves out unpurchased items.
    Also, I should say, that some purchased books/songs are not being transfered as the "files are not found".
    Any advice would be muchly appreciated.
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the reply. I've been doing this all morning but it still isn't transfering everything.
    When I click on the "on this iPhone" tab all my stuff is there. It's just not coming up when I go into the "music" or "books" tabs. I don't want to "sync" the iPhone in case it deletes what I've got on the phone and replaces it with what's currently showing up as being on iTunes (ie, not all my books, and a whole stash of songs that have the "!" beside them because the file cannot be found.... pulling my hair out..... :'(

  • I am still learning how to use icloud,can someone tell me how to delete music from my iphone 5,new updates have been installed, thank you

    How is music deleted from the iphone 5 with new updates installed?

    First, Music is not part of icloud.  If you mean iTunes Match,
    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.
    https://discussions.apple.com/community/itunes/itunes_match
    Otherwise, you use iTunes on your computer to sync chosen music to a device or uncheck any selected music and then sync again to get rid of music on the device.

  • Can't erase/delete info from old iphone

    Hello,
    I replaced my wife's 4S with a 5S. Now I cannot erase content and settings, presumably because the old iphone can no longer get on line, having been replaced by the new 5S. It doesn't work with wifi either.
    I tried connecting the old one to itunes with the USB connection,but that didn't work either.
    I'd like to trade in the old phone for another product, but I want to erase contacts etc first.
    Any advice greately appreciated.
    Jack

    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    Next step: Erase iPhone X2
    Password required. Apple ID and password entered.
    When the password is inserted, the following message appears:
    "Verification Failed" "The internet connection appears to be offline."
    I am presuming the new iphone 5 now has the apple ID and password I need to accomplish that. The old iphone 4S will not connect. I am also presuming that I can't have two accounts with the same apple ID and password.
    Obviously, and in retrospect, the old iPhone 4 should have had its data, contacts erased before the same ID and password were put into the new iPhone 5 .... but it's too late for that!
    Any further suggestions greatly appreciated. Thanks for replying.

  • How do I transfer my old application content from old iPhone 3G to new 4S?

    I synced with iTunes but received blank apps. Need data, notes, appointments &c.

    Hi Allan,
    Are you sure this will work?
    The item in the knowledge base states that the 2 phones need to be updated to latest iOS first.
    The point with the 3G is that is no longer updating and stays in iOS 4, while the 4S will be in iOS 5.
    So you need to charge a version 4 backup on a version 5 phone...
    Regards,
    Paul

  • Does anyone know how to delete Videos from an iPhone 5? iphoto won't do it and the phone provides no option.

    Hi,
    I keep running out of space on my iphone 5 because there is a bunch of video content on there that I can't get rid of. I imported these videos into iPhoto sometime ago, however I think I probably didn't select to delete them once imported at the time. I've deleted all of the images and vids from the camera roll section however, but the videos are still on the phone under "Videos" where I can view them and select them, but it gives no option to delete them.
    It would be great to know if there's a work around that doesn't involve restoring the device.
    Kind Regards,
    Claire

    If you synched these videos from your computer the only way to delete them is to sync again with the videos unselected in iTunes.
