Need help to install & use iErase app to zero out iPhone after restoring/erasing

I  plan on buying a ew  iPhone5 and trading in my iPhone 3GS.   After doing much research on the topic, I've learned  that the  best way to  ensure that no one  can find personal data on my old  phone is to  restore it to the factory settings thus "erasing" all of my  data and then to install and run the iErase app that will zero out the hard drive.   I  bought iErase on itunes and t's on my computer.  I restored my old  iphone (erasing all my purchased apps  including iErase)  but  when I connect it to my computer to reinstall the iErase  app, it syncs and  reinstalls all of my personal settings, data, etc..   Am I missing a step?   After restoring my phone, it seems  that I might have  to go into itunes on the phone and repurchase  iErase  ($6.99).  The app  iis designed to zero out the free space on the phone and will not touch  whatever  is installed.  Thus I will have to enter my itunes password etc. which won't  get zeroed out.  I suppose I can just change  that later.  Any  suggestions?
Thanks

What's a DFU mode restore?
Also, I  read the reviews as  well  as others  on different  sites and it seems  that some people  aren't using the  app correctly.  It only zeros  out  free space on the  phone.  Many  seem to think that it will delete everything on the phone.  That's incorrect.  If you install and run it without restoring or  ersaing your phone first, it will look like nothing happened.  All of your info, apps and personal data will still be there.  You have  to delete all that stuff first (thus designating it as free space) and  then run ierase to zero out the deleted info.  At least, that's my understanding of how it works.

    My Vista Home Premium desktop has not used Firefox for a long time. I just loaded it as well as on my Honeycomb Android. The statement that I made pretty much says what my problem is. I can use both of them at the same time and use a router with the air Verizon card installed.

  • I need help to install Toolkit CreateJS for Flash CS6.

    Hi,
    I need help in installing CreateJS for Flash CS6. I had downloaded the Toolkit CreateJS from here: http://www.adobe.com/go/downloadcreatejs and here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/createjs/articles/using-flash-pro-toolkit- createjs.html. When I attempted to install the extension using Adobe Extension Manager, the installation files did not have the required .zxp or .mxp files. It only had a file with a .mxi extension. Please advise. Thanks.

    Why installing IIS o_O?
    For Installing a developer Machine just install Oracle Developer suite; for testing your forms you use OC4J ("start OC4J instance" in start menu), and you can run your forms in web; no need for a aditional webserver (don't believe there's an OC4J connector for IIS available; and if so I wouldn't use it either ;-))
    For Installing a server for "productional" use install Oracle Application Server (available on otn) which comes with an Apache as webserver and all the other needful things for runnung forms on the web.
    For configuring both of them just take a look at the documentations on http://otn.oracle.com

    Hi, Jennifer.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    I understand that VoiceOver has been activated and you are unable to access your device.  I have done this myself and here are the steps to disable this feature.  
    VoiceOver
    Press the home button three times quickly (formerly "Triple-click home").
    Accessibility Shortcut
    Managing Accessibility features using iTunes
    Connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to any computer with iTunes installed.
    In iTunes, select your device.
    From the Summary pane, click > Configure Universal Access in the Options section at the bottom.
    Select the feature you would like to use and click OK.

  • I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app.  I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind.  I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far.

    I have tried everything I know to retrieve the iPhoto Library app.  I detest this new Photo app, which obviously wasn't designed with photographers in mind.  I desperately need help in retrieving the old app and have not been able to do it so far.  I have gone to my app folder and tried to update my iPhoto Library.  I have gone to my trash and brought it over to my desktop and still cannot use it.  Please help!

    Try this fix discovered by User photosb189:
    From Finder, hold down the option key on your keyboard and click on the Go menu at the top of the screen
    Select Library from the drop down menu
    Then navigate to Application Support > iLifeAssetManagement > assets
    Right click on the 'sub' folder and choose Compress
    Drag the resulting zip file to your Desktop (as a backup)
    Go to your System Preferences and choose iCloud
    Turn OFF the iCloud Photos option
    Go back to Library > Application Support and DELETE the iLifeAssetManagement folder
    Now, in System Preferences, turn the iCloud Photos option ON
    iPhoto should now be able to launch. Give it enough time to re-download your Photo Stream content. if you are missing any of your My Photo Stream photos (more than 30 days old), unzip the sub folder on your desktop and drag that into iPhoto.

  • NEED HELP! - Installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick

    NEED HELP! -installing Camera raw presets from USB Stick.
    I am attempting to install the Camera Raw Presets. 
    It says to put them into User Name/Library/Application Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/Settings... 
    When I get to CameraRaw the ONLY folders in there are CameraProfiles & Lens Profiles. 
    I have searched everywhere looking for a CameraRaw-Settings folder and cannot find one. 
    I have latest version of CameraRaw installed and still no settings folder. 
    I even attempted to find it by looking in camera raw where it has saved the custom settings I made as presets and it shows that they are saved but will not show me where. 
    I am using CS5 specifically Photoshop v12.0.4 and Bridge. I have Lightroom 4. I have iMac OS  10.7.3
    Do I need to reinstall Camera Raw and how do you do that?
    Will I then lose my presets that I made in CameraRaw?  
    Thanks for your help

    Here is a note from the ACR 7.1 beta release.  http://labs.adobe.com/technologies/cameraraw7-1/?tabID=details
    Perhaps this answers question.
    Frequently Asked Questions
    Why is it no longer required to place the plug-in file in the specified directory on my hard drive?
    The Camera Raw update process has grown to include lens profile and camera profile files which are easiest to install via a single installer process instead of updating several different directories manually.

  • In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

    In installation process of Acrobat Professional 7 , its showing that Adobe Pdf printer is not Installed...need help to install the software completely

    If it is Win 7 or later, the Adobe PDF printer for AA 7 will not install and AcroTray will not function. You will have to install a PS driver from Adobe or maybe an HP color PS printer driver. Then edit the driver properties and change the name to Adobe PDF and the port to FILE. You will always have to do an extra step in creating PDFs by opening the file that is created in Distiller to get the PDF.
    If you are talking about Win 8, you may not be successful at all. If you got Acrobat and Distiller to install, then there is a chance.

  • Installing Elements 11 on Mac. Need help with install error "Setup wants to make changes."

    Installing Elements 11 on Mac 10.8.2. Need help with install error:  Setup wants to make changes. Type your password to allow this."  After entering Adobe password, nothing happens.  Locked from further installation.  Any ideas?  Adobe phone support could not help.

    Just before letting changes (installation in this case) be made on the system, Mac OS prompts for password & this has to be the Mac system password. This password prompt is the system's own native prompt & would accept the system password only. Please make sure it is the right system password (all/admin rights) and the installaion should run.
