Hi - I tried to restore my iPhone 5 to factory setting so I could give it to my son but when I did it reset to someone else's apple id. I don not know this person and I am the only owner of the phone purchased from Sprint. How do I get this phone to work?
Its called Activation Lock. Take the phone to Sprint and explain your problem. It is their fault and responsibility to properly reset used phones.

HT1414 Restoring my iPhone 4 to factory settings
Will restoring my iPhone 4 also erase iOS 7 and restore the old iOS?
No. It will erase your data and it will reinstall iOS 7.1.1

HT1414 restoring an iphone 5 to factory settings then putting my contacts in
hi
forgot my passworfd so am trying to factory reset an iphone 5 and then put my contacts in
help
jeffSorry. That was mostly just boiling rage after someone walked into the office in the middle of the day and stole multiple phones. (We develop iOS apps…) We were googling frantically and trying to figure out:
"Okay, so we locked the phones. WTH, they just showed up at Smith Street? Okay, well we offerered a reward. Is someone gonna reset them and sell them? Can they even reset them? Should we erase the phones? Are they already bricked if they're locked? Does erasing the phone protect data? Or does it just unlock it and hand it to the thief on a silver platter?"
So long story short, we erased them. Then became unclear whether that protected the data or whether it really just performed a factory reset and made the phones resellable. At any rate it's pretty clear they're not coming back.
Bottom line: the euphemism of 'lost phone' is frustrating when you can pretty clearly watch your phone getting stolen. Given the number of phones that do get stolen, it's frustrating that it's so difficult to track down what the different options are actually doing and what the ultimate fate of your phone will be.
Question 1: We click 'Lost Mode.' Is there a way for someone to do a factory reset and sell the phone?
Question 2: We clock 'Erase phone.' Is there a way for someone to do a factory reset and sell the phone?
Question 3: We clock 'Lost mode' followed by 'Erase phone.' Is there a way for someone to do a factory reset and sell the phone?
Sorry for my rude or otherwise upleasant tone before. I know they're just phones, but no one was in a good mood yesterday afternoon. -
HT1414 trying to restore my iphone 5 to factory settings
trying to restore my iphone 5 to factory settings an then restore it thanks
Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
This will bring it back to factory. From there you can go through the setup process to either restore from a backup or set up as a new device. -
for some reason , when i restore my iphone 4s to factory settings my headphones work when listening to music or youtube videos but when i backup my information onto it , it only comes out of one ear bud and i just got a new one from the apple store. my old iphone 4s audio jack was messed up but i just got a new one with my warranty , can anyone help me please.
It doesn't matter what it is in your backup that's causing the problem because you can not selectively restore things from your backup. It's all or nothing.
Set you phone up as a new device and start over. -
HT1766 how can I reset my iphone 5 to factory setting? using iTunes?
i need to reset my iphone 5 to factory setting. how can I do it using itunes?

Is there a special reason to do it with iTunes? You can do it on the phone by going to Settings/General/Reset - Erase all content and settings.
To do it using iTunes connect the phone to your computer using a USB port directly on the computer, not a USB hub. Click on its name in iTunes, then click Restore iPhone. When the Restore finishes choose to set up as a new device.
Note that for either method you will have to disable Find my iPhone first, either in Settings/icloud on the phone or by logging in to https://icloud.com/find. -
After restoring my iphone 4 to factory settings, then restoring from a recent backup, my phone will reboot but keeps coming back to the "new setup or restore from backup screen". How can I by-pass this screen to go directly to the sync apps/music screen?
Well, it's certainly behaving as though the phone that was backed up was synced to a different iTunes library.
I'm going to throw one more thing out there... Yes, you backed it up to this computer... Was the phone previously set up to sync with this computer? Or was it syncing with a different computer and you just backed it up to this one?
You may have to end up setting it up as a new device and rebuilding the phone by manually re-syncing your data, apps, music, etc. to the phone.
Trying to keep your library on a different drive can be tricky. If iTunes starts up and the library isn't available, it may end up generating a new library ID, meaning that you could easily find yourself in exactly the position you're in now...
I'm curious why there was a need to restore your phone to begin with... It may not have any bearing on this at all, but it could. -

After reset iphone 4 to factory setting, i can't charge my hp
Hi,
I resetted iphone 4 to factory setting so i can pass it to my brother since i brought a new iphone 5. But when my brother took over this iphone 4, he can't charged the iphone & it seems that the battery can't hold the power. Tried using both charger & USB, the same problem persisted. Does anybody experience such problom? thanks.
Regards,I tried that but I still got the message "Unable to verify account information." I saved it anyway and when I go to the Exchange email account it says "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed." We are running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I was always able to sync my calendar and email before I upgraded to IOS 6.

This may indicate a hardware issue with your device. Follow Troubleshooting security software issues, and restore your device on a different known-good computer. If the errors persist on another computer, the device may need service.

What happens when I restore data to a non-factory set iPhone?
Okay, another iCloud question. What I did was basically delete a game, start a new one, and now I want my old game back (saved to ICloud). What happens when I restore full data to a non-factory set iPhone? Will it overwrite current data? Will it delete everything? I just want to know, I'm such an iOS noob. :-/
A restore is all or nothing.
If a backup is restored to the device, ALL data currently on the device is wiped and replaced with the data from the backup.
Restoring a backup to get one saved game back seems rather extreme and silly. -
Help,
Itunes will not let me restore iphone 4 to factory settings. I have an iphone 5 now and just looking to reset. Saying that it cannot verify the reset with apple. Any help on how to reset the phone and bypass this message. THanksReset iPhone, Reboot Computer.
This happens if
iPhone was hacked and iOS modified. And/or
Computer was used for hacking this or any other iDevice.
Check Hosts file, if it has any entry gs.apple.com. Put # in front of the entry. Reboot and try Restore.
Restore on another computer which has clean Hosts file.
