I need to clear out all the data on my phone so I can give it to someone

There are two ways you could do this.
1. Go to settings>general>reset then select the option "erase all content and settings"
2. Restore to factory settings with iTunes on a PC/Mac. The article below can show you how to do this:

  • I transferred data to my MacBook Pro, then I accidentally did an UNDO and all the data desapeared....What can I do to recover it???

    I transferred data to my MacBook Pro, then I accidentally did an UNDO and all the data desapeared....What can I do to recover it???

    Sorry, but it's probably lost, then, presuming you never made a backup. There's a dim chance that you could recover at least some of the data using a file recovery utility such as Data Rescue from Prosoft Engineering, but the chances aren't good and get lower the more you use your computer.

  • Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is trying to backup data from the iPhone.  I have done everything suggested in Apple support.  How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my phone?

    Everytime I try to update to iOS5 on my iPhone 4 I get an error containing 0xE while it is backing up data from the iPhone before installing the new operating system.  I have done everything suggested in Apple support with no success.  I still get the error everytime (about 5 minutes into backing up iPhone data).  How can I upgrade to iOS5 without losing all the data on my iPhone (the error message says that if I continue I will lose all data on the phone)?  If I have already synced the phone before upgrading the OS, would I be able to restore my data after installing the new OS by syncing after the OS upgrade is complete?  Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

    I had the same problem today and was able to resolve it without having to do a restore or reset. The problem had something to do with my mail accounts. The upgrade reset my mail settings, switching both my gmail and my .mac mail to "archive all mail". I went into the General Settings, disabled that setting, and resynced the phone. The "other" storage allottment dropped back down to less than a gig.
    Before you restore or reset, I would try that first.

  • I have lost my phone and want to use the find my iphone app to delete all the info on my phone. How can i do this on another persons iphone? do i need to log out of their icloud account and then sign in under mine?

    I have lost my iphone 4s and want to use find my iphone app on my boyfriends iphone 3s to delete the info on my now lost phone. Do i need to log out of his icloud inorder to log into mine to do this on his phone?

    You need to use the Find My iPhone app (in the itunes store - free).  When invoking it on a device, you enter the ID password of the account the lost device is connected to.  You can also use a computer's browser and log into icloud.com.

  • Can I start a new itunes without losing all the data on my phone and the progress on my apps?

    I want to break off of the family account my iDevices have been attached to since 2005. All of my phone's data is in my own personal iCloud on my email, and I created an itunes account on the same email. I know I'll probably lose all of my songs, but can I salvage app progress and text messages? Or does home sharing allow me to not get all the music they have downloaded on my account? I'm really confused by all of this but I know I need to break off the account eventually.

    iDevices are designed to sync to only one computer/library.
    Attempts to sync to a different computer/library will replace the content that currently exists on the device with content from the new computer.
    Bottom line, you WILL lose the content on the device.

  • I have a situation where I find my restrictions have been turned on and I dont know the passcode to unlock them. Is there a solution that doesnt risk all the data on my phone?

    Hello,
        I recently purchased an Iphone 5s, 16 GB, version7.1.2, , model ME305LL/A.  I've been having some issues however. 
    It appears someone has entered a passcode for "restrictions". I do not recall ever having engaged this feature and the
    only proof I have of that is I am unable to find the passcode! There are 379 photos on this phone which I would like to keep. But
    I am unable to backup my device because of the restrictions being turned on. I do not want to lose the data. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    I did try to get help by going into the local Apple store.  However, I was told that the only way to get it working again, now that I am locked out it, is to get on itunes and do a complete factory reset. This of course would fix the locked out issue but I would loose all the pics. 

  • Is there a way to keep all the data on my phone while syncing to a new laptop? I lost all the data on my old one.

    Recently my old mac laptop lost all it's data. Is it possible for me to sync my iphone to a new computer without losing everything on my phone?

    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss. Syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.
    iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iOS device or iPod to a computer - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1848 - only purchases from iTunes Store
    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • If I delete my backup date from iCloud from my 4s will I still have all my data on my phone so I can do an up to date back up?

    Hi I've purchased a 5s and just tried putting my backed up data on it, but since it's an ok old back up it had some problems.
    Is there anyway that I can delete the data from iCloud with out it loosing data on my current phone so I can do an up to date back up to put on my 5s?

    You don't need to delete the backup, just backup your new phone to icloud.

  • My daughter put my sim card in and loged into my itunes acount but now she has put her own sim in and deleted my contacts that showed up on her phone and it has deleted all the contacts of my phone too, how can i get them back and stop it happening again.

    My daughter but in my sim card and loged into my iunes account to get apps untill she got her own sim but my contacts appeared on her phone so when she got her own sim she deleted the contacts of her phone it deleted them of mine too. how do i get them back?

    The SIM has nothing to do with that. She used your Apple ID to buy apps/music, thus your contacts that were synched with iCloud got replicated on her phone. Any changes she made got reeplicated on her phone. There is no way to recover the deleted contacts unless you backed up your phone.
    Your daughter needs to get her own Apple ID.

    My original computer died, and I don't have a phyical back up of my data. If I try to sync the device to a new computer will I lose everything currently on my phone? If so, is there a way around this?

    This is how you retrieve all the text fields in the reort:
    ReportObjects reportObjects = (ITextObject) oReportClientDocument.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().getReportObjectsByKind(ReportObjectKind.text);
    for(int i=0; i< reportObjects.size();i++)
    ITextObject textObject = (ITextObject)reportObjects.get(i);
    // use ReportObjectController to modify the text object.
    If you want to modify the contents of the text element, you can do it as follows:
    TextObject oTextObject = new TextObject();
    Paragraphs oParagraphs = new Paragraphs();
    Paragraph oParagraph = new Paragraph();
    ParagraphElements oParagraphElements = new ParagraphElements();
    ParagraphTextElement oParagraphTextElement = new ParagraphTextElement();
    oParagraphTextElement.setText("This is the new text field");
    oParagraphTextElement.setKind(ParagraphElementKind.text);
    oReportClientDocument.getReportDefController().getReportObjectController().modify(textObject, oTextObject);
    oReportClientDocument.save();

  • If my iphone got stolen but is still under waranty can i get a new one? and how do i wipe all the data off the iphone

    my phone doesnt have a lock on it and i want to wipe out all the data. how do i do that?

    Use Find my IPhone on either iCloud, MobileMe or any other idevice. That is assuming you activated Find my iPhone on your phone. You can remotely lock it and see its location on a map.  You can also remote wipe it but BEWARE you will not be able to track it once you have wiped it.
