Is there a button combination that will wipe out all phone data

I'll be turning in my iPhone 4 to Verizon to obtain the $200 credit against an iPhone 6. What is the recommended way to wipe out all my personal data that is currently on the phone?
Mark

Go to settings>general> reset > erase all content and settings.
there is also an article from apple:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

My laptop that had my iTunes on it has exploded (in a sense). I now have a new laptop, but I'm afraid to plug my iPod in because I know it will wipe out all 300 songs. Is there a way to put my old music on my new laptop?

(After my old laptop blew, it won't turn on anymore). I've invested quite a bit of money into my music, and it'd be a bummer if it's all gone to waste.
Thanks in advance!

Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was designed for you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself properly backed up against loss.

Initial sync of Books will wipe out all music???

I have an iPhone 4 running iOS 4.3, and I'm running the most recent version of iTunes.
In iTunes on the Summary page for my phone, I have "Manually manage music and videos" selected. I have loaded up my iPhone with about 10 gig of music, which took a lot of time to select, drag and drop over onto the phone in iTunes, etc.
Now I have a PDF that I want to add to my iPhone by adding it to the Books tab, checking 'Sync Books', and moving it onto the phone. The problem is that when I check 'Sync Books' it warns me that "Are you sure you want to sync Books? All existing songs, movies, and TV shows on the iPhone will be removed".
I certainly don't want to have my music deleted because then I'll have to re-install it all.
Even though I have "Manually manage my music selected", why is this Book Sync option still trying to delete it?
Is there another way to get a PDF onto the iPhone without syncing it?
Any help would be appreciated.....
Thanks,
John

I manually manage my music because I have about 60 gig of music in iTunes, and only around 10 gig of space on my iPhone. So I just dragged my most important music onto the iPhone because I don't want to sync all of the music that I have in iTunes. It won't even fit....
So, now that I've been manually managing my music, what you're saying is that if I turn on the option to sync books it will wipe out my music and I'll have to do it all again? Obviously you're correct from what I'm seeing with that warning messgage, but that seems absurd to me. I don't understand why the two settings are not independent of each other.......
So...........There's no way around this?

Is there a way to create a custom shortcut key to paste my email address? I would like to be able to press a key combination that will paste whatever I set it to, i.e. my email address.

There are multiple ways to do similar things. One, built into the system, is to use text replacement. See:
http://www.tuaw.com/2009/12/31/mac-101-making-text-replacement-work/
There are other programs you can buy that can do the job in different ways, such as TextExpander. You could also just create a clipping file by dragging your e-mail address to somewhere like the desktop, and then you can simply drag that file to wherever you like to insert your e-mail address there.

HT4759 I want to use icloud mail on both iPhone 4s AND my pc. icloud mail on PC is mega glitchy and frustrating because my PC is ancient, I run XP, & these DO NOT MEET req's for iCloud. Is there a email platform that will run well on both XP and iPhone?

I NEED to use icloud mail on both iPhone 4s AND my PC. I need to use both.
Trying to use icloud mail on PC is mega glitchy (STOP SCRIPT WARNINGS EVERY FEW MINUTES) and frustrating because:
1. my PC is ancient (but nicely refurbished/fast)
2. I run XP (with both Firefox and Chrome- newest versions)
3. thusly, I DO NOT MEET SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS for iCloud.
In my passed attempts I found that
1. Yahoo doesn't work well on iPhone
2. Gmail doesnt work well on iPhone.
I must be missing something... an app or... maybe a donated/ NEW FREE MAC! (That would be sweet! Ha.)
Is there an email platform that will run well on both XP and iPhone?
or... Please say it isn't true: I would love a Mac tablet or desktop. We have no money for a mac. SOL? Is this iCloud apple tech only for wealthy middle class and above who can afford to have the newest and best of everything?

@Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

My MacBook Pro is running very hot after lion install. Are there any hardware changes that will help? What can I do to get it back to normal?

I get the impression that most of the users on older hardware experiences similar temperature issues on Lion for a long time now. Awaiting for confirmation from the original poster.
In the meantime I'm just cautious with regards to pushing the machine to such extreme temps, since something tells me such behaviour which includes monitor flickering and the likes is nothing but abnormal for any type of use...
Any clues if 10.7.5 does anything on this? If not I'm afraid i see myself going back to SL for good...

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?that will play audio please

I would like to play music from my iphone 5s on a sound bar with an iphone 3 dock. Is there an adapter available that will play audio please?

The genuine Apple adapter works for me, most cheap knockoffs do not support sound ,it is usually in the micro print at bottom of the ebay offerring
It is pricey by comparison but it works and the knock offs usually don't pay the patent licence fee hence they guess the technology that is in the lightning plug
and charge a minimal price

Is there a plug-in that will allow me to view CR2 (raw) files from a Cannon 5D Mark III to PSE 9 ?

is there a plug-in that will allow me to view CR2 (raw) files from a Cannon 5D Mark III to PSE 9 ?

The 5D.3 was first supported in ACR 6.7 which you need PSE 10 to use, so there is no plug-in for PSE9 that will allow opening the files from a camera newer than when PSE9 became obsolete.
Besides getting PSE12, assuming it is supported on your current computer—check the specs, you can use the free DNG Converter available from http://www.adobe.com/downloads/updates.html
to convert your CR2 files to DNG files that are compatible with older versions of ACR. Be sure to set your DNGC compatibility settings to a version old enough to be openable with PSE 10’s ACR.
As far as whether the OP is serious, it doesn’t hurt to ask the question before spending money on something you didn’t need.

Do they play in iTunes?
Can you directly redownload them by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Is there a cable available that will connect an I pad to an older printer?

Is there a cable available that will connect an I pad to a printer?

If you have a Mac or PC there are utilities available that enable them to act as a print server, enabling you to print to any printer the Mac or PC can use.
The donation-supported handyPrint and a commercial product such as Printopia ($19.95 with free trial) are two examples. The Mac must be "on" but may be asleep for them to work. Equivalent PC options may exist but you're on your own finding them.
You can also buy this standalone print server:
http://www.lantronix.com/it-management/xprintserver/xprintserver.html
These options enable you to use any printer available to your network, even older ones that may predate AirPrint by decades. But as Bob said, everything you do with an iPad is wireless.

Is there one converter program that will convert these three formats: cda, wma, and midi to mp3?, Is there one converter program tha t will convert these three formats: cda, wma, and midi to mp3?

Is there one converter program that will convert these three audio formats: cda, wma, and midi to mp3?

Hi Illaass, Oh yes for days and I even called and email some asking this question and no one I could find did all three so I only have to buy one program. The one I was going to download because it did two of them I read the reviews and 2 people said that a hacker was attached to the download and they changed all his search features amoung other things. So I got out of there and that was the end of that. That's why I decided to try this in case someone knows the answer. Thanks for responding though. Sandi

Is there a Terminal command that will pick up DNS numbers?

Hello all,
Is there a Terminal command that will pick up the DNS numbers utilized by a router?
The router options don't show any, though the router is set to use PPPoA to pick them up.
I kindly TIA,
Eme '~[ )♥♪

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
What do you mean by "pick up"?
I mean to show what the DNS numbers are that the router is using.
They are not entered in the DNS server field in Networks, TCP/IP tab.
If you mean refresh the client settings, the DNS settings are obtained as part of the DHCP lease (or PPP connection in the case of PPP).
The user/ OP is actually using PPPoA, when i googled PPPoA.. seems he is using Cisco perhaps.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-PointProtocol_overATM (Asynchronous Transfer Mode)
"PPPOA or PPPoA, Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) over ATM, is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in ATM AAL5. It is used mainly with cable modem, DSL and ADSL services.
It offers standard PPP features such as authentication, encryption, and compression. If it is used as the connection encapsulation method on an ATM based network it can reduce overhead slightly (around 0.58%) in comparison to PPPoE".
Essentially the original poster removed the OpenDNS #s from his DNS server field in the TCP/IP tab (b/c they seem to make Adobe.com inaccessible to him)
removing them & allowing his router to "pick them up from the ISP" seems to solved his problem.
However he can not, find what the numbers are that are being utilized,
b/c they are not entered as usual in the Network, & part of the DHCP lease,
or in Airport admin Utility.
I/ we wondered, if there was a Terminal command that will show what the
numbers are that are being used .
Does that help clarify what I mean? Sorry to be so long winded.

At the moment I have a long Griffin charging cable. Unfortunately now that I have the Smart Case this won't fit through the available hole. Is there any other make that will fit that has the none lightening fitting that I want.

At the moment I have a long Griffin charging cable. Unfortunately now that I have the Smart Case this won't fit through the available hole. Is there any other make that will fit that has the none lightening fitting that I want.

I wonder if this comment on the Amazon site is the answer to my problems?
PLEASE NOTE: In order to provide the same power output as an original 3 ft Apple USB cable, the housing of our 6.5 ft cables need to be a bit larger. Due to the larger head size, it will not be compatible with some cases that have a smaller charger opening
If that is the case then I am stuck with the Griffin one or just use the original.
Thanks for your observations guys

I use an iMac running V. 10.10.2. I have an Epson WP-4530 printer. Is there a printer driver that will enable one to print photos from color negatives?

I use an iMac running V. 10.10.2. I have an Epson WP-4530 printer. Is there a printer driver that will enable one to print photos from color negatives?
I have already tried downloading the drivers from Epson as per one person's suggestions, but the dialog box isn't anything like what was suggested--the choices in the box weren't the same for the most part. I don't want to lock up the computer or disable the printer for normal printing, but I have a lot of old negatives that I would love to have prints from.

I am using the latest software from Epson for Mac OS 10.10.2 that I downloaded last week. I seem to remember that the older software (we're talking 6-8 years ago) had to option to scan slides or negatives and would convert the results into positives via the scanner. I don't like the most recent scanning software because it jumps right into the scan before giving you a chance to change the options. It uses the selected options from the previous scan which are sometimes right, sometimes wrong. Thanks for your reply to my question!

I have been taking photos for years and have thousands. When I use Apple TV screen saver, it seems only to grab a handfull and repeats them. Is there a configuration setting that will allow me to have the screen saver grab more than just a few? Thanks.

The device has an 8GB drive for caching streamed meida, a small portion of that is used to temporarily store photos for the screensaver. It may vary depending on resolution etc but it seems to be around 100.
