Is it safe to take my iPhone out of airplane mode?

There's a long story behind this but, what basically happened was that I lost my iPhone and I was in the process of erasing it through find my iPhone. I canceled the erase when it asked for a phone number... Because my brother found my iPhone. It's currently in airplane mode and I'm scared that it will be erased if I take it out of airplane mode... I'm not sure if the erase went through or not...

What you should do is connect it to the computer you normally sync with, open iTunes and go to File>Devices>Back Up.  Then go to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This will back up your phone on your computer as it is now and transfer your apps and other purchased media to your iTunes library.  Then take it out of airplane mode.  If it starts to erase, let it finish.  When it's done, connect it to your computer, open iTunes and go to File Devices>Restore backup, then restore the backup you made earlier and you won't lose a thing.

    I lost my iPhone in an airplane, it is in Lost Mode but it needs to be connected to the internet. Is there any possible way to take it out of airplane mode from any other apple device?

  • HT1369 HOW DO I TAKE MY IPHONE OUT OF RECOVERY MODE?

    May I have specific instructions on how to do so? My iPhone stopped in mid updated and went into recovery mode.

    You could try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again and hope that it starts as usual, but if it shows the "Connect to iTunes" screen, there is something wrong with the software and you'll need to restore the device.
    At that point you can't back up the phone anymore, sorry.
    If the phone is not recognized by iTunes, connect in recovery mode, explained here:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore

  • I went swimming but forgot to take my iPhone out of my pocket, how can i get it back working?

    hello everyone,
    i went swimming today but i forgot to take my iPhone out of my pocket, it was only about a minute in the water, but still it can't be good. I haven't touched anything to avoid damage. The screen is withe on the upper edge, behind the camera glass you can also see water vapor. More than that i don't know. I don't think it still runs because i can't hear anything, but again i haven't touched a button or whatever.
    greetings

    1. Turn it off.
    2. Your warranty is now void so don't take it to Apple.
    3. You need to dry it out, put it in a tub of dry rice in a warm place, the raise will absorb the water.
    4. Leave for a week before you try to turn it on.

  • How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?

    How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.

    Try following - 1 by 1:-
    * make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
    * turn off mobile and turned it back on
    * hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
    If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
    * resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
    * resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
    * restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
    last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
    Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
    Cheers!

  • I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, after 7.1.1 but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    I tried updating my iphone 4 to 7.1.1 and it went straight into recovery mode.... I finally got my iphone out of recovery mode, but now it won't accept my Icloud info and states "An error occrured while trying to save the Icloud account?" What do I do????

    Same situation. I installed iOS 8 beta 4 on my iPhone 5 and a few days later my iCloud account disappeared. My contacts and calendar entries are gone.
    My Mac Mini and MacBook do sync as they should with iCloud.
    When I try to log in to iCloud on the iPhone (the username shows "[email protected]" and password shows "required"), I put in my username and password and tap "Sign In", It says "Verifying" at the top and after a while checkmarks appear next to my username and password. Then I get an error message saying "An error occurred while trying to save the iCloud account". If I tap OK the message goes away, leaving my username and password intact (checkmarks are now gone). If I tap "Sign In" again I get a message saying " '[email protected]' is Already Added. This iCloud account has already been added to your iPhone". If I go back to Settings and then go into iCloud again it's not set up and appears as I stated at the beginning of this paragraph.
    Nothing works and the sync does not occur. Contacts are empty and Calendar has no entries.

    Reset, can sometimes exit Recovery Mode if nothing is wrong with your iPhone. If there is problem only exit is to connect to iTunes and click the Update or Restore button that iTunes offers you.

  • How to get iPhone out of recovery mode?

    OK, i need to get my phone out of recovery mode. The thing is, i do NOT want to restore my iPhone to factory settings, i have so much stuff on there like notes and calendar dates and text messages and contacts that i have put in since my last update. Is my only option to go ahead with the restore or is there another way to get my phone out of recovery mode? Is there a way to save my data?

    I had exactly same problem and when I called apple i-phone support, she told me to select restore the phone but all the data should be in the i-phone backup and will not be deleted.
    I followed her directions and I could restore my phone without deleting any of my stored musics, photos, and other info.
    The tricky thing is after you click the restore, it showed the error message and you need to unplug your i-phone from the computer and restart your computer again. Then open the i-tune without connecting your i-phone. Once you open i-tune, connect your i-phone then restore again.
    After restore the i-phone, it ask you to backup or set as new phone. Choose backup from your i-phone. Then all your data should be restored.
    Whole process takes about half hour but all your data should be recovered from the i-phone backup folder.

  • How do I take my iPod out of "Recovery Mode" without restoring to factory settings?

    (iPod 4th Gen, Windows 7)
    I hadn't synced my iPod touch for a long time, because just before Christmas, my antivirus stopped working on my laptop, and I got a virus. I was unable to do anything. Because of my circumstances, I wasn't able to get my computer back to normal until just about a week ago. During the time I didn't have access to my computer, I made a lot of purchases in the iTunes app.
    Now that I have access to my computer again, I tried to sync my iPod. Since it had been a while, I needed to update it. Something must have happened during the update, but I don't know what. All I know is that now my iPod will only show the "Connect to iTunes" screen (so I can't use it at all), and when I connect to iTunes, it says my iPod is in "Recovery Mode." My purchases were not synced to my computer.
    iTunes says to restore it, but I don't want to do that because I would lose all of the purchases I've made since Christmas. They weren't synced, so they would be wiped if I restored it, and only what is on my laptop would be re-synced.
    Bottom line: is there a way to get my iPod to work again, without restoring it to factory settings? If not, then I spent all of that money in iTunes, and now what? I'm supposed to buy it again?
    Thanks for taking the time to read this; I know it's long. I just wanted to make sure all of the details were there, because I've scoured the internet, and no one has a solution for this, other than wiping the slate clean, downloading a program from who-knows-where, with who-knows-what viruses attached to it, or jailbreaking. And those are not options.

    Yu can try to use this program to get the iPOd out of recovery mode.
