I erase all content but my phone is frozen

i try to erase data frome my phone but it is now stuck can sumone help me please

It needs couple of hours to finish Erase All Content
If not enter DFU mode and restore your phone.
Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black

  • Erasing all content on old phone

    I'm trying to erase all content & settings on an old iphone in order to give it to a friend. But when I try through Settings and it asks me for my Apple ID, I get a message saying "Verification failed. There was an error connecting to iCloud." But my info is correct.

    The only way to do so is to start over: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. You won't be able to use the backup of your old phone unless you are setting up a new phone.

  • Why does it say its going to erase my iphone from my account when i try to erase all content from my phone?

    I am trying to factory reset my Iphone5 by clicking settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. After this is displays a window saying Password Required enter your Apple ID password to erase this IPhone and remove it from your account. I don't want to erase the phone from my account I just want to erase what's on it so old notifications will stop showing up.

    The message means that you will be deleting your iCloud account from the device, and therefore removing it from Find My iPhone.  Erasing all content and settings completely erases your phone, including all your accounts and settings.  If you then set up your phone and sign back into your iCloud account, enabling Find My iPhone again (or restore your backup), it will then be associated with your account again.

  • IPad - Erase all Content, but Safari bookmarks are still there?!?! Why?

    I want to erase everything on my iPad and start all over.  When going through the setup, I tell it to set up as a new device (not restore from iTunes/iCloud).  Most things are gone (apps, etc.) but my Safari bookmarks are still there?!?!?!  Am I doing something wrong?

    You mostly likely signed into your icloud account after you restored your phone. Your bookmarks are stored on icloud and thats why there are there, because you signed into your icloud account.

  • I am trying to erase all contents on my iphone 4, its been running for 6 hours now, is this normal?

    I am trying to erase all contents on my phone, I am trying to get it back to factory settings,  I don't have any jailbreaks or anything like that on my phone, The circle thing has been running for six hours now, is this normal? Before I did that, I tried to do it through itunes, and it would not restore it through there either? Im at a loss?? That took only like 5 min before it says sorry it could not be restored. This is taking forever....

    Hello Stephiworld,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
    It sounds like you are trying to restore the phone to its factory defaults but the process is stalled or the phone is totally unresponsive.
    If the phone will respond to the Sleep/Wake button, I would turn it off the normal way, then turn it back on.
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    When it turns back on try the Erase All Content and Settings option again.
    If the iPhone is completely unresponsive and will not turn off normally, I would reset the device with this process from the above article:
    If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Cheers,

  • Erase all contents on my iPhone

    I have begun to erase all contents on my phone as part of the network unlock process but I started this almost 24 hours ago and it still has not completed. There has been a spiraling wheel in the middle of the screen since it begun. Can anyone advise me on what to do?

  • 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.

  • I need to erase all Contents and Settings from my i phone 5 but I forgot the restrictions passcode. How can I get it. ( Idon't have access to i tunes). Thanks.

    I need to erase all Contents and Settings from my i phone 5 but I forgot the restrictions passcode. How can I get it. ( Idon't have access to i tunes). Thanks.

    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.
    The above comes from here:

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

  • I erased all content and settings from i phone because my dad gave it to me i press and hold both buttons i conected it to the itunes but it tells me its not available and my iphone doesnt open what shall i do?

    I erased all content and settings from i phone because my dad gave it to me i press and hold both buttons i conected it to the itunes but it tells me its not available and my iphone doesnt open what shall i do?

    Do you have a SIM in the phone? A SIM is required to activate the phone.
    If you do, ask your dad if the phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.

  • Previously i set up iphone 5 same user (account) with my brother.. Now i want to set up as my own User... but try to Erase all content n settings and plug in itunes to set up as a new iphone but it's keep sync with my brother phone ... help please ?

    I recommend that you
    Create a NEW account/ID for her using these instructions. Make sure you follow the instructions. Many do not and if you do not you will not get the None option. You must use an email address that you have not used with Apple before. Make sure you specify a birthdate that results in being at least 13 years old
      Creating an iTunes Store, App Store, iBookstore, and Mac App Store account without a credit card
    Use the new ID on her iPod but only for:
    Settings>Messages>Send and Receive
    Settings>FaceTime
    Settings>GameCenter
    and Settings>iCloud
    Continue to use the same/common Apple ID for Settings>iTunes and App stores so you can share purchases.

    If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.  If that doesn't work, the last thing you can try is to put it in DFU mode to restore it: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/2648467?threadID=2648467&tstart=0.

  • I accidentally backed up my new iphone to my moms icloud account she's currently using. If i erase all content does it erase everything on her phone also? or just off the phone im using

    So i just bought a new iphone and was trying to back it up onto my computer. I accidentally backed it up onto my moms icloud account that she is currently using. If i erase all content and settings will it delete everything in general or just off MY iphone that im currently using? I just need to reverse it but i don't want to delete all of her data, etc.

    Hi brifuhrman,
    Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll down to the bottom of the screen. Click on Delete Account and type in your Mom's iCloud password when it asks. Follow the prompts to finish deleting the iCloud account from your phone.
    Once you have deleted that iCloud account from your phone, see if the things that you no longer want on your device are gone. If they are, then sign on to iCloud with your own iCloud ID and you will be ready to go.
    If there are still things you need deleted from your device then start from scratch by doing a Reset All Content and Settings.
