How to delete the files from iPhone before selling?

How do I delete the files from my old iPhone4 before selling?

Hey adhot,
Before selling your iPhone, you'll want to follow these directions:
Before you sell or give away your iOS device, make sure that you have removed all of your personal information. Follow these steps to protect your data and get your device to its factory default state for the new owner:
Back up your device.
Go to Settings > General > Reset, then tap Erase All Content and Settings.
This will completely erase your device and turn off iCloud, iMessage, FaceTime, Game Center, and other services.
If you are using iOS 7 and have Find My iPhone turned on, your Apple ID and password will be required. After you provide your password, the device will be erased and removed from your account so that the next owner can activate it.
Contact your carrier for guidance on transferring service to the new owner.
When the device is turned on for the first time by the new owner, Setup Assistant will guide them through the setup process.
Important: Do not manually delete contacts, calendars, reminders, documents, photo streams, or any other iCloud data while signed in to your iCloud account, or the content will also be deleted from the iCloud servers and all of your iCloud devices.

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement in which i am creating files on server through my CO code.

    Just wondering how can we achieve this.
    Kindly advice!
    Thanks,

    Hi Sachin
    all the methods in the processRequest() are called during loading of the page.
    all the methods in the processFormRequest() are called during any action events on the page.
    So Use the method in processFormRequest() : write a method in
    that on which action you want to delete the file.

  • How to deletes the photos from iphone 4?

    How can I delete the stored photos from the iphone 4.

    I am so thrilled to report that, YES, in fact you can delete all photos with one easy swipe~!!!! I just discovered how by accident when I went to delete my audiobooks for more storage!! You go to SETTINGS > GENERAL > USAGE > PHOTOS & CAMERA > and then just decide what you’d like to remove~~ either (or all) “Camera Roll” “Photo Library” or “Photo Stream” & Swipe to Delete! Happy deleting everyone!!

  • How to delete the Data from Iphone 5 when the Phone is damaged.

    Dear All,
         I am using Iphone 5 , my Cell phone got damaged and its at service center . how could i delete my personal data , so that no one can see it .
    Please upodate . Its urgent

    The Service Center is likely going to need to get into your phone to test their fixes. Not sure what personal data you are referring to, but since it is in a myriad of places, it's not really somehing you can do anything about. You would have to either Lock or Wipe your phone, and either one of those things would prevent the servicer from being able to get in an test things....
    Do you not trust the people who you left your device with to be repaired?

  • How to delete flv files from iPhone library

    Hi, I am a newbie to iOS and I am using factory unlocked iPhone 4s with iOS 7. I have added some flv files to library and synced them to iPhone using iTunes. But as iPhone doesn't support flv files so I can't see them in movies. They have claimed disk space and I need to figure out some way to delete them to reclaim disk space.
    Kindly help

  • How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    How to delete multiple songs from iPhone 5S without losing form iTunes? The unchek function has not worked. Why?

    Sorry I had to reply through your profile Gail from Maine, my PC has java issues. In any event, when I delete them directly from my device everything is perfect and cool. However, in the rare instance I want to add new music that I actually buy in stores (I know, quite the unique and old-fashioned idea...but hey Im an audiophile) once I upload the tunes, everytime I sync my library it re-adds everything that I spent hours deleting. In a perfect world, I thought I could maintain a massive iTunes Library, and add or delete (remove) songs from my iPhone to save both memory or keep my iPhone selections more current/apt to my musical "tastes" at that time. I know about the whole playlist thing, but thought there might be an easier way. ie - checking/un-checking the little box next to the song name, and then doing a sync. Again, everytime I do this however, whether everything is checked or un-checked it adds the entire library! So frustrating. Any suggestions. Thank you graiously in advance for your help.

  • I download confidential info & save to a secured flash drive; how can I delete the file from "downloads" after that?

    I am a mental health professional. My supervisor emails me confidential information as Word documents, which I download using Firefox. When the download is complete, I open the document and save it to my secured flash drive. I would like to then delete the file from my computer, so the flash drive has the only copy, to protect my clients' privacy. The only directions I can find are for deleting the entry from the downloads list, but not the file itself.

    There is technology known as RMS which you could set series of policies like only members in the company could access certain documents and if someone copy them and attempt to run them in another PC or outside company, it won't work. Take a look at:

  • HT203200 Cannot delete the file from the itunes folder

    I cannont delete the file from the itunes folder because it tells me I need permission to do so.  I am the admin person for the laptop plus I have checked my permissions under the security tab in the files properties.  How do I delete this file to start again?  It downloaded 1.2GB of the file before the error message appeared, so its paid for and all but not looking like I'll get to watch it before the time runs out on the movie being available for me to watch. :-(

    Try deleting the file without iTunes running.
    When you next open iTunes it should then be marked as a missing file and you should be able to delete the entry from iTunes.
    Hope this works
    Regards,
    Colin R.

    Some of the information below has subsequently appeared in a document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchased content.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only media purchased from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software. Examples (check the web for others; this is not an exhaustive listing, nor do I have any idea if they are any good):

  • How to delete the file with space in name

    Hi
    I want to delete the file "test ex.txt" file.
    i run the following command in command prompt.i can delete the file successfully.
    /bin/rm -f /mnt/"test ex.txt"
    I want to run the command from java.So i am using the following code
    String cmd = "/bin/rm -f /mnt/\"test ex.txt\"";
         Runtime rt = Runtime.getRuntime();
    process = rt.exec(cmd);
    The file was not deleted.
    How to delete the file with space in name?
    Help me

    Use the form of exec that takes an array of command + args.
    arr[0] = "/bin/rm"
    arr[1] = "-f"
    arr[2] = "/home/me/some directory with spaces";Or use ProcessBuilder, which is the preferred replacement for Runtime.exec, and which Runtime.exec calls.

  • How to delete a file from my hard drive through iTunes?

    I want to delete a file through my iTunes. Whenever I do, it just gives me a dialog window telling me that it will delete the file from the library and my iPod. It does NOT delete it from my hard drive. I do NOT want to let iTunes manage my music.
    How can I delete files? It seems crazy that I wouldn't be able to.

    hmm. for some strange reason after doing that it just simply warns me that in deleting the song(s) it will ruin my playlists/mess up songs currently on my ipod.
    im just trying to delete all the songs that are under a minute from various albums because they take a lot of room, yet are pretty useless. but they are strung out over multiple files and i simply would love to be able to delete them all from the library where they are arranged. do you know of any other techniques to fix it?
