Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 - "You can use iTunes to restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to factory settings and the latest version of iOS. Restoring iOS software deletes all your data and content from your device, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar info."
You may encounter problems fully restoring if Activation Lock is active - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5818

I bought music on my iPhone but lost it when I connected it to a new laptop is there any way of getting is back without paying again for it?
Was the content not synced with a computer previously? If it was, simply re-sync with that computer.
Syncing an iDevice to a new computer will do exactly what you describe above as this is not the way to move content to a new computer. -
Is there any way to get photos off of my iPhone 4 that won't turn on?
A couple of weeks ago my iPhone 4, running on iOS 7, decided to stop working. It just shut off all of a sudden, and wouldn't turn back even if it was plugged into a computer. It would just say that it was an iPhone in recovery mode, and that it needed to be restored. I would be okay with doing this, however I recently went on a big trip and took hundreds of photos on this trip with my phone, and I mistakenly did not back up my iPhone since this trip. I was wondering if there was any way to get these pictures off of my phone myself, and if not if there is any way that the people at the apple store could help me?

I made a 3-minute movie with my iphone 4S. When I attempt to share it via email or message I get a message that says it is too long, that I should try to make a clip. Of course I had rather send the whole thing. What are the possibilities? I think my music and likely my videos and pictures are in the cloud.

I just syned my new iphone through itunes and it deleted all of my new pictures. is there anyway to get them back?
Do you sync your iPhone with iTunes every once in a while? If yes, there are chances that iTunes has taken last backup of your photos, contacts, etc. that you want back.
Connect your iPhone with your PC. launch iTunes, right click on your device and click on "Restore from Backup". Choose the latest backup to proceed.
If you configured iCloud for backup before you restored your iPhone. Go to Settings -> iCloud - > and login using your Apple ID. Once you've logged in, all the photos, contacts, mail, messages should be back on your iPhone. This may take a while (depending on your network).
Alternatively, if you are only now setting up your iPhone, choose 'Restore from iCloud Backup' in the setup screen. Login with Apple ID and the iPhone will be restored from the latest iCloud backup. -
Hi, my daughter connected her ipone to my mac and lost all of her pictures, music, etc. is there any way to get the information back?
<Edited by Host>Does she normally sync to the MAC? IF she does, she can restore her phone from a backup, if she has one.
If she doesn't normally sync to the MAC then she can sync back to her PC and then restore to her backup.
If those options don't work then she is sol -
My iphone screen and lock button are broken, I bought a new phone and want to get all the information off my old phone. My old phone will not sync with itunes because it has a pass code on it. I have no way to enter the pass code. Is there any way to get around this so I can still retrieve my information from it?
If you are using the computer that you normally sync with, it should sync without entering the passcode. However, if this is not the computer you normally sync with, you cannot get past the passcode, it has to be entered.

Take it back to the pawn shop and ask for your money back.
You bought a brick. -

No. When you restored the backup of the old computer it wiped out everything on the phone.

I reset my iphone 4s, is there any way to get ringtones back that I purchased? They are not showing up under my available ringtones anymore
They are linked to your account, but they are also tied to the country that they were bought in - you won't be able to potentially redownload them unless you move back to the US and have a US billing address on your account (you have to be in a country to use its store, including redownloading past purchases).
Have you not got a backup copy of all of your downloads/library that you can copy them back from ? Even if you hadn't moved countries any item could be removed from the store at any time by the rights-holders (you are only guaranteed one download of any item), you should be keeping and maintaining a backup copy. -

No there's not. Otherwise that wouldn't be very secure, would it?

Is there a way to get rid of (or hide) scuffs on the chamfered edge of the iPhone 5?
Hello, this is my first post on these forums! I originally purchased an iPhone 5 four or five days after the release. When I opened my phone up, the chamfered edge was very banged up and the apple logo on the back had received some major scratches. Because of this, I called Apple and informed them of my issue. They promptly sent me a new phone and I sent them my old one back. The new phone was in pristine condition (as the first should have been), and only a few days later the phone slid out of my hand and onto my MacBook Air's palm rest area that was only an inch or so below it. This one little incident cause a very large scrape on the chamfered edge of my phone, causing it to be white and stick out like a sore thumb (I have the black iPhone 5). This was an incredibly minor drop and I'm very disappointed that it was damaged as much as it was. My case is in the mail and I wasn't planning on having my phone be naked, but this seriously frustrates me considering I paid a premium for a beautiful (and supposedly durable) device. So, my question to all of you is: is there a way to get rid of (or hide) scuffs on the chamfered edge? The case I'm going to be getting will hide it, but I know that it will bring the resale value in two years way down by just having this little scuff (plus it's really ugly to even have to look at when I clean my phone after taking the case off). I was wondering if anyone has found a solution to this problem. Thanks!
Im sorry to sound negative but why on earth would any company exchange a phone that has been dropped and as a result scuffed. Its aluminium. Its a very very soft metal. Damage straight out of the box is why thing. carelessness is something completely different. As for "take it back, Apple will probably change it" ? Do you not think these guys are getting a bit sick of hearing all this.
Personally I like the build quality of the Iphone 4, which in anycase I keep in an Otterbox.
This forum has some great posts. But honestly some of it is complete nonsense. -
Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?
Is there a way to get an alarm for my events for the iCal on the iPhone 4?
Greetings,
See page 113 of the iPhone 4 user manual: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf
When you add an event to the Calendar.app of the iPhone 4 there is an "Alert" option which should give you the desired result.
Cheers.
