    Hi! I'd like to ask how to erase all content and settings if your iphone was stolen? Please help.

    Were you signed in to iCloud?
    Did you have Find My iPhone enabled in the iCloud settings?
    If so sign in to iCloud.com > Find My iPhone > Devices & select your iPhone
    Otherwise, you are out of luck.

    It should be the same AppleID and password you use to log in here.
    I haven't installed Find my iPhone app on the phone?
    Installing the app will simply allow you to locate a different iDevice.
    You don’t need to use it to locate the iPhone in your hands. If it’s not in your hands, you cannot use the app on that device...

  • How to Erase all Content and Settings and keeping IOS 7.06?

    I'd like to participate the iPhone 5 Sleep/Wake Button Replacement Program, however than I'll have to Erase all Content and Settings and I'm afraid I'll loose IOS 7.06.

    If this is anything like standard warranty service, the unit you get back will be totally refurbished, which also means having it updated to the latest iOS release. The caveat in the program description hints this:
    Note: If your iPhone 5 has any damage such as a cracked screen which impairs the replacement of the sleep/wake button, that issue will need to be resolved prior to the sleep/wake button replacement. In some cases, there may be a cost associated with the repair.
    Also important to ask, does your phone have a faulty button in order to qualify for the repair?  They also clearly state:
    Apple will replace the sleep/wake button mechanism, free of charge, on iPhone 5 models that exhibit this issue and have a qualifying serial number.

    I have an iPhone 4s, but wifi the option is greyed out. The wifi stopped working on it months ago. Now I wanted to erase all content and setting from my old 4s and it will not connect to the internet, because the cellular data is no longer connected, since I bought a new iPhone 5c. I can't erase my phone by pluggin it into my Macbook Pro, since I can't disable the "Find my iPhone" App without internet. How do I erase all the data and setting on my 4s without connecting to the internet? It is running ios 7

    I just did it. To enter DFU mode, I had to use "method 3" on this post

    Too bad my 4S is 2 years old. Wifi is dead. I had to upgrade to 5S, but 5S is soooooo much faster than 4S so it's kind of good outcome. Without the 4S breaking down, a stingy person like me would have never upgraded the phone.

    The music does not belong to you.  You have no legal right to it and there is no way to keep it.
    Sorry

  • I wish to reset my ipad.  However, when I selectGeneral Reset Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set).  I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad not reset. How do I get past this?

    I wish to reset my ipad (as advised by the Apple Store) to attempt to resolve an issue with a non-responsive part of the screen..  However, when I select General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set).  I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad has not reset. How do I get past this?  I am now at the point where I have to wait 60 mins before I can enter another random passcode.  I just want the ipad to clear down, erase everything so I can start again.

    The other option is to force iPad into Recovery Mode.
