How to find my lost iphone4 if someone erase all content and settings ?

how to find my lost iphone4 if someone erase all content and settings ? there is way to find my iphone with serial number ?

No. However, if your phone was running iOS 7.0 or higher, whoever erased it won't be able to re-activate it without knowinh your Apple ID/Password. Called Activation Lock, & the phone will be useless to whoever has it.

    No matter how many times you ask, the answer still remains no.

  • HT4113 hello, I have an Iphone 4 and im trying to "erase all content and settings" but it asks for a passcode that i have no idea what is. its none of my previous passcodes ive ever had. What should i do to find out that passcode?

    Hello im trying to "erase all content and settings" on my iphone 4, but it keeps asking for a 4 digit passcode and i have no idea what that passcode is. It's none of my previous passwords I've had on the phone since i've used it. How do i find out that Passcode?

    Are you sure it's asking for a four digit code?
    iOS 7 has a new feature called Activation Lock.  It requires your Apple ID and password before doing something like an iPhone reset.  This is a new anti-theft feature.

  • How can i get my photos back after i erased all content and settings

       Okay so i had a Iphone 5c and broke it so they shipped me a new one, And as i was trying to set my new one up the paper said to go to settings and back up my phone and then erase all content and settings from my damaged device, So i did. And for some reason i cant find anything in my icloud account.
       How can i get all my pictures back onto my phone but the knew one? Is that even possible? Or can i find them anywhere else? Like how can i restore a back up? I think thats what it is. I just need my pictures back really bad, Any suggestions!? Please help me

    I had saved my photos on my WD My passport but I think it was only saved like a preview.
    We need to know more, to be able to understand what you have done.
    How did you save your images to the external drive? Did you copy your Aperture library there?
    Is your Aperture library referenced or managed - did you store the original image files outside the Aperture library or are they included in your Aperture library?  If you have referenced images, did you back them up too?
    The error message you are seeing, shows that Aperture cannot find the original image file. That is indicated by the yellow warning badge with the arrow.
    If your Aperture library is referenced, you need to restore your backed up original image files as well from their backup, and then use the the command "File > Locate Referenced Files" to reconnect the image versions with the missing original files.  Do you have a backup of the originals? If you cannot restore your referenced originals, you can turn your previews into new originals; post back, if you need help with that.
    If your Aperture library is managed, and all your originals are included inside your Aperture library, try if the Aperture Library First Aid Tools can fix this:
    Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
    Check if the "Masters" folder inside your Aperture Library contains any image files: Crtl-click the Aperture library and use "Show Package Contents". Are the missing original image files inside?

  • Really how secure is the current erase all content and settings?

    I am not sure about taking my iPhone in for repair or exchange after reading many old articles about how unsecure the erase really is, seeing how many sensitive passwords and e-mails I have. I have the most current firmware. So tell me, how reliable for keeping my data safe and gone is the current "Erase all content and settings" feature?
    Also note: I have iPhone 3g, not later or earlier. So I am not sure if the hardware would make a difference, but yeah.

    It is what it is. Erase all contents & settings overwrites user settings and information, writing a series of ones to the data partition. This process can take several hours, depending on the storage capacity of your iPhone. During this time, the device displays the Apple logo and a progress bar. If you had a 3GS, it would be instantaneous, as the 3GS supports hardware encryption. Can someone still recover data? Yes. But the software & equipment necessary to do so is very expensive & generally only available to law enforcement.

  • Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails.

    Recently I erased an iPhone 3 so that it could be passed on and used by someone else, using the erase all content and settings feature. This has killed my iPhone and it is now stuck on the Apple logo. I have tried a restore in iTunes but recovery fails. This is not a jailbroken iPhone. Anyone have any suggestions on how to proceed?

    If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:

    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.

  • How to erase all content and settings when I forgot my password

    How do I erase all content and settings on my iPhone 3Gs when I dont remember my Apple ID password and I haven't installed Find my iPhone app on the phone? Thanks!

    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...

  • I forgot my restrictions passcode for my ipad. under settings i went to "erase all content and settings" but it needs the passcode. how do i restart my ipad so it can go back to normal? i dont care about losing everything on it

    Try and force the iPad Recovery Mode
    1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
    3.While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
    4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
    Note: Data will be lost. You may have to repeat the above many times.

  • 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.

    Not possible.  You need access to iTunes.
    The passcode will be required to make changes to these settings or to disable Restrictions. Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

    Your headline says iPhone 3GS, but your text says 3G.
    iPhone 3G is not compatible with iOS5. 3GS is.
