IPhone 5 - Crashed and Erased all data including the IOS on the device.

Ok, So here's the thing.
I was using my iPhone 5 as normal patrolling facebook to see what people are getting up to when all of a sudden the phone display goes pixilated and crashes, The phone itself rebooted without me pushing any buttons and loaded as normal with the apple logo as it does. I get to my lock screen and enter my password. After entering the 4th digit of my passcode my phone begins to unlock and then again crashes for a 2nd time. This time however I have to manually shut the phone off and turn it back on. Upon turning the device back on instead of receiving the Apple logo to show that the phone is booting the IOS, I receive the ITunes logo and the USB connection lead; Upon connected my phone to ITunes to restore my phone to factory so I could reinstall IOS 6 I'm continuously getting the error code (-1).
I need to know if anybody else is having this issue with their phone.
My phone spec as follows
iPhone5
32GB
Black

No, I've got a new replacement for it today Apple checked the phone swiftly and got a working one within 2 days of me posting it. Must have been faulty data storage device.

  • I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.How can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information.

    I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.I have a password on the phone but i'm not sure if I turned on the option where the phone resets if you incorrectly put the password more than ten time. I immediately called my phone company (Verizon) and reported the phone stolen.So I know whoever took the phone cannot place calls or use the phone. But can they still access my data on the phone if they manage to unlock the phone?  If so how can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information? is there any other way other than Find my IPhone to wipe off the data on the phone? I really don't want my personal information such as pictures, text messages, notes and social networks profile available to a stranger!!? Help please!!!

        Hello thewrongway,
    I'm sorry to hear about your phone!  I understand the need for an active device. You are able to activate an old device and process an insurance claim for your iPhone 4s within 60days from the incident date.  Keep in mind if the old phone is not a smartphone and you currently have unlimited data that feature will fall off.  If you have a tier data plan no changes will be made.  Please let me know if you have any additional questions.  Thank you.

    If you are the original owner of the phone and have forgotten your Apple ID, start here:

    If this is a phone you found, it is useless to you. There is no one who can put you in touch with the original owner and no way to bypass that message.

  • If I set my iPhone 5 to erase all data when the wrong password is entered 10 times can the phone still be used by another icloud account?

    I'm trying to reset my iPhone 5 back to factory settings and I don't have access to a computer with iTunes. If I set the phone to erase all data after 10 attempts can I still use the phone but under a different icloud account?

    I have the same problem as the emails go to my iCloud account that I cannot access!!! I cannot answer the security questions as someone else must have set up my iCloud account. Nothing seems to work. It would be great if someone has some ideas as what can be done to recover the situation?

  • Do I have to sync my iPhone 4S after i erase all data

    Do I have to sync after i erase all data because i dont have a laptop

    If you erase all data and settings, your phone will look just like it did when first taken out of the box. To get any data back on the phone would require either restoring from a backup...iCloud or computer, or syncing it back. How do you intend or hope to get your data back? You backup to iCloud? Sync to iCloud?

  • I bought a iPod from my friend and erased all content from the iPod and the screen is white? Any suggestions

  • I purchased an iphone 4s few weeks back here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says that this iphone was lost and erased. sign in with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. what do I do now???

    I purchased an iPhone 4s few weeks ago here in Pakistan and now I can't activate it because it says the this iPhone was lost and erased. Sign is with the Apple ID that was used to erase this iPhone. What do I do now? because I contacted the Owner but he's not willing to give me that ID. I mean it's really very annoying why do people are selling stolen phones? Please help me guys.

    If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it.

  • My iphone crashed and lost all data. how do i upgrade the operating system then sync with itunes?

    My iphone 3g crashed. My calendar and contacts don't appear on itunes.  how do i sync with itunes? should I upgrade operating system first? how to do that?

    "My calendar and contacts don't appear on itunes.  "
    Your calendar ond contacts should be on your computer in whatever program you have selected to sync.
    "how do i sync with itunes? "
    You sync as you always have.
    "should I upgrade operating system first? "
    If you like.
    "how to do that?"
    Open itunes, cconnect iphone.  Itunes should tell you if there is an update avilable or you can click Check for Updates.

  • My iPad is disabled and won't connect to iTunes on any computer; I went to my iCloud and removed the iPad so it will erase all data when the iPad is connected to the internet (the original problem was a restrictions passcode we forgot)

    Here is the order of what I did to my iPad:
    1.  A restrictions passcode was put on and we couldn't remember it.  Despite numerous attempts at righting this, I couldn't. The iPad would not sync with any iTunes on any computer, Mac or PC.
    2.  I put a, 'use passcode after one minute' passcode on it and deliberately put in 10 wrong passcodes so it would disable the iPad.  Now it still will not connect to any iTunes.
    3.  I connected to my iCloud account and removed the iPad from the cloud; it says it will erase all iPad data when it connects to the internet.  I am fine with that, I need to know what to do now, though. iPad says, 'Connect to iTunes,' but it won't.  Please help this amateur of all amateurs!!

  • IPod Nano Resets and Erases All Data

    I've had a bear of a time with my Nano ever since I installed iTunes 7. Before then, everything was fine.
    After I installed 7.0, iTunes would not recognize the iPod. I went through all of the troubleshooting steps......twice......and it still didn't work. So I reinstalled iTunes 6 and it then recognized the iPod. Then, whlie putting my songs back on the iPod, the iPod reset and I lost all of the songs. Then it didn't recognize the iPod again and I had to restore the iPod.....twice. Since then, as I'm putting songs onto the iPod, it randomly seems to reset itself, I need to rename the iPod, and all the songs are gone again. This time, it happened three times.
    Do I just have a bad iPod? Is there a way to talk to a person at Apple or is the service requests all on-line?
    As an iPod novice, any help would be appreciated.

    It seems like this could be an issue with the device.  IT will not connect long enough to extract the data.

  • If passcode actived, is all data on the device encrypted?

    Hi,
    is the data stored on an iPad/iPhone encrypted?
    I assume that the iPad/iPhone has an advanced passcode (not just the 4-digit code).
    So my question is if data that my custom app stores in the device is encrypted or not (if no special methods are taken in the source code of the app).
    Would an attacker be able to read the data? What if he jailbreaks the device?
    Thanks!
