HT201274 will easeing all content and data permanentlt remove deleted sms messages from my hardrive on my I phone 5S?

Will erasing all data on my I phone permanently deleted previously deleted SMS and MMS messages on my I phone 5s?

Nope.
As long as you erase all content and settings/restore your phone to factory, anything on it will not be
retrievable

  • HT201274 Will erase all content and settings on ipad affect basic icons?

    I want to erase all personal information from my ipad 4, will erase all content and settings work. Will my ipad be reset to factory settings.

    If you do that your device restores to factory settings. However, if you just want to remove settings, then just Erase All Settings. It's much faster.

  • Is the a way to restore my iPhone 5 when it is no longer activated since i erased all content and data it keeps giving me this window that says my simcard is not recognizable does anyone know what to do?

    Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
    The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
    Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

  • After upgrading the new operating system, it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select

    After upgrading the new operating system on my Droid Razr M it seems some useful features no longer work such as when typing a message the text anticipates the next word and when trying to delete individual messages from a contact, you can no longer tap and hold to select multiple message you have to delete them individually or the entire thread. Is there a way to get these back?

    Well, that's kind of embarrassing. And I honestly thought I paid attention to that... It works perfectly now, thank you so much!
    As expected, cdm-git also works fine since DMs only work in the root mode as of now.
    Just for the record, both type commands output "/usr/bin/startx" and pacman -Q gives "systemd 215-4".

  • HT201274 If i use the "Erase all Content and Data" button can I put an app back on the phone that is no longer in the app store but is store on the itunes in my computer?

    I have an app, no longer in the app store, that i want to keep an iphone i'm getting rid of. I backed up the iphone on itunes and deleted all data, but the app, manually. I want to erase all data, and then put the app back on the phone. Please advise. Thanks

    Then as I said you can do an Erase All Content and Settings which will wipe the phone. Completely. In order to add a game from your iTunes you will have to activate the iPhone with your Apple ID and then sync the game. You don't have to sync anything else. But you will need to sell the phone with your Apple ID on it.

  • Will erase all content and settings completely wipe my phone clear?

    Hello!
    I recentely got the iPhone 5S so I'm going to sell my iPhone 5, I want it to be completely wiped so none of my content is there anymore. Would I do this by clicking 'Erase all content and Settings'? Will this completely wipe my phone free and is there anyway of the new owner getting any of my information back?
    Thank you!

    Yes.

  • Will "erase all content and settings" lock my unlocked phone back up?

    I have an unlocked iphone and am about to sell it to a friend, but first I want to erase all of my contacts, pictures, etc... Is it best to use the "erase all content and settings" to get rid of all my personal information without locking my phone back up? Because I don't know how to unlock phones...
    Thanks

    We can't discuss things involving hacked phones. Erase all may or may not relock the phone but the smart person erases all their personal information before selling an electronic device.

  • When i try and sync my phone with itunes Manually it says it already synced with another library "Admin" and will erase all content and replace with contrent from Itunes library

    When I try to sync my Iphone with Itunes i am getting the error message about it being synced to another I tunes library.  I switched to manually manage music and now the eroor says i am synced to another itunes library "Admin" and all existing content on the phone will be replaced with content from the Itunes library.

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Will 'Erase All Content and Settings' remove Apple ID from my iPad 2?

    Hi all.
    I've read that Erase All brings the iPad back to how it was when it left the shop. But I need to comfirm something 'cos here's the situation:
    1. I just sold my mum's iPad to a third party shop. All done, or so I thought.
    2. I get a text asking for my Apple password so they can format the iPad.
    3. I reply that it's not needed for Reset All/Erase All. (NOTE: No Passcode was set on iPad)
    4. I get a text today saying: "But we need to change the app store. Otherwise if any other person buy it they cannot create new account. Maybe you can come and type it. After that we can reset in front of you."
    Does the shop really need my password? I was under the impression that Erase All would do a factory reset and clear my Apple ID from the IPad too. Then the next person just sets up their own ID.
    By the way, this is not a shop I really trust which is why I'm being so cautious. Also, I don't fancy going all the way there again.
    Thanks so much in advance and sorry for the long ramble
    Andrew

  • Does "Erase All Content and Settings" also remove associated device with an apple ID?

    I have to give away an iPhone.
    When I follow the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661, does it also mean that the association to the apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627) goes away? I want it to.

    You're welcome.

  • Erasing content and data on iPhone 5.

    I sold my iPhone 5 and I erased all content and data using the option found in the Settings tab and after that, the person told me he wanted me to activate it for him using my sim card, because he had a phone that didn't have the nano sim card. So, I activated again and then, he told me to turn it off first before removing the sim card. I'm not sure why he asked this, but I wanted to make sure this wasn't anything sketchy. After that, I went to the ATT store to get my nano sim card replaced to a standard sim card, because my old phone doesn't accept the nano sim. Am I okay? Or do I need to worry about something? He's a professor at my university, so I don't think I need to worry, but just need reassurance. Thanks.

    There is no data stored on the SIM beyond account information.  Once a new SIM is activated on the account, old SIMs are deactivated.
    No, there is nothing to be concerned with.

  • HT201274 iPhone 4s, but wifi option is greyed out. I want 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, bought a iPhone 5c. how do I erase all on my 4s with no in

    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
    http://thebigboss.org/guides-iphone-ipod-ipad/dfu-mode
    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.
