I accidentally erased my iPhone. How do I restore it?

Help, I accidentally forgot my password, and I can't restore my phone with my computer because I would have to turn off Find my iPhone, but I forgot my password so I couldn't do that. Then I read that u have to erase your phone from Find my iPhone, which I did, and now I don't know how to restore it.

  • I accidentally erased numbers. How can I restore it?

    i accidentally erased numbers. How can I restore it?

    Depends which version.
    Numbers 3: Go to your Mac app store account, click on Purchases, download and install again.
    Numbers '09 (boxed retail iWork package): Reisntall from install disk. Use Softwre update to check for and install updates.
    Numbers '09 (download): Might be difficult, as this version is no longer available from Apple. Check your app store account. You may have to locate and purchase a retail version from a reseller.

  • I have accidentally erased my iPhone 3 contacts when I innocently toggled the on switch to off.  I assumed the information would be stored in iCloud, and would continue to mirror the identical information that is on my iPad2.  How do I retrieve contacts?

    I have accidentally erased my iPhone 3 Contacts when I toggled to OFF and thught the data was saved in iCloud.  The contacts are already duplicated on my iPad2, and if I could send them to my iPhone3, then I could reclaim them all. 

    If you turned contact sync off, you'll have to turn it back on to sync it back to the phone.
    It's extremely unclear what you did where.
    Do the contacts still exist in iCloud?

    You may have noticed that this thread has been dead for almost 9 months now.
    At the time it was authored, there was no facetime icon on the home screen. That was introduced in iOS 7.

    Don't you just love changes in interfaces?
    I found the answer to my question.
    When you attach a device (iPhone, iPad) to your Mac, in iTunes 12 in appears as a tiny icon in the second "row" of the iTunes display. Click the icon and the familiar iTunes display for the device appears. From there, on the Summary screen, you can see the dates of the backups of the device (iCloud and backup to the computer). You can also use the button to backup to the computer.

    i removed facebook app from my iphone. how do i restore it?

    You should be able to restore it by going into the app store, then into the "purchased" section (along the bottom of the screen), and finally redownloading it to your phone by clicking on the app icon in the list of purchased apps.

  • I accidentally erased my iPhone in icloud, how can I restore it?

    Hi,
    I gave my iPhone to my boyfriend, but iCloud still showed that I have 2 iPhones now. Thus, I erased his iPhone in iCloud. But his phone is not working now.
    How can I restore it?
    Thanks,

    You cannot delete the clock application.
    Have you checked to see if it is on another page or in a folder?
    You can also reset the home screen layout.
    Have a look at the manual:

  • I accidentally reset my iphone how do i get my pictures back?

    I accidentally reset my iphone 4s, my pictures weren't backed up to Icloud. is there any way to get those pictures back?

    No. When the device is reset the memory is cleared. Lesson learned. Backup your device and copy the pictures off the device.

  • HT1911 after purchase fraud my apple ID was disabled from iphone, how do i restore

    After an unauthorized purchase on itunes was resolved (through paypal) and my phone was updated (3g) my appleID was disabled on my iphone. I can get it on my mac which makes me think it's something wrong with my phone. I believe this all happened when I had to connect with itunes for updates for my iphone to work properly.(it froze, telling me to hookup to itunes). I've changed my password due to the unauthorized purchases, but the confusing part is ....Mac works with ID but phone doesn't. Any ideas on how to restore without going to apple support & paying....this is ridiculous! You'd think simple solution....frustrated with apple completely! They make things way to difficult!

    Apple ID: "This Apple ID has been disabled for security reasons"  appears

  • Lost iPhone - How do I restore data from previous phone to new one?

    I recently lost, then replaced my iPhone. Does anyone kknow how I can access the previous data stored for the old, now lost phone?

    iTunes maintains a backup for the iPhone that is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process. This link provides the data included with the iPhone's backup.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
    When you connect a new iPhone to iTunes the first time, you should be prompted to transfer the backup for a previous iPhone to the new iPhone. This must be followed by a sync with iTunes.
    If you weren't prompted to transfer the backup for your previous iPhone to your new iPhone or you declined this prompt, you can restore your new iPhone with iTunes from the backup for your previous iPhone.

  • Preferences erased on restart, How do I restore?

    I restarted my computer about 30 min ago. The actual restart took longer than normal, about a minute longer, with the technical icon (the one upon booting) spinning for that minute. About an hour before restart I did run "Repair Disk Permissions" however I don't see how this could possibly cause all of my prefs to be erased. My files that were on the hard drive are still there, however all of my preferences (anything from internet to background) were wiped away. The only thing that got erased off my hard drive was all my my music/videos in iTunes. I now have the original blue background, without any files on my Desktop. I was wondering, first, what happened or caused this issue. Secondly, is there anyway I can restore all of my old preferences to the way I had them 45 minutes ago? Any help would be appreciated. I am running OS X 10.4.11 if that helps.

    Hi Taylor,
    Have a read of [this article|http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107854] to see if it applies to you.

  • I accidentally deleted cookie exceptions - how do I restore? (and why allowed without a dialogue box?)

    accidentally deleted via alt -e
    I prob have an older backup of settings but
    1. can I recover in another manner that would be more current
    or if not ,
    2 is there an outline to recover only cookie exceptions from a backup copy
    Thanks

    thx for your help - you were right re the cookie exceptions file location,
    unfortunately I did not have a recent backup copy (backup most everything regularly but not firefox other than via a full sysrestore).
    I am disappointed that firefox doesn't do a precautionary dialogue
    box before allowing deletion .... it's far to easy to hit the wrong key
    - incl rushing ahead to the intended alt-R for the subsequent option page - clear history. I've had the same problem with a calendar.
    Naturally in the end my fault but far too easy to rush thru and hit unintended key
