How to remove all data.

We're donating an iPad and want to remove all data. What is the simplest, effective way to do this? Remote wipe using FindMyiPhone? Reset to factory conditions? Something else?
Original iPad, no 3G, iOS 4.3.3.

I think the best way to do this is to download the latest iPad firmware from here:
http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Plug the ipad into your computer and go into iTunes.
When in iTunes goto the iPad screen.
From the iPad screen hold down the "option" key (shift key in windows) and click "Restore". iTunes will then ask you where the restore file is. Here you will choose the one you downloaded from http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Once restoration is complete do not restore from a backup and unplug it from the mac so that it is no longer registered to a computer.
After this is done the iPad will just display the "Plug into iTunes" picture and is ready for the iPad to be sold or whatever.
This may not be the easiest way but is the the best way to ensure all of the data is removed from the iPad.

How do I remove all data in OS 10.9.4 ?

How do I remove all data from OS X 10.9.4? This is a late 2010 MacBook Air I want to donate to a friend. Thanks.

Click here and follow the instructions. When you reach step 5, connect its original thumbdrive, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

How can I remove all data from the iPhoto app?

I wanted to reset my iPhoto library and remove all places, faces and events recognized from the pictures, so I copied my iPhoto library to a hard drive and then deleted it and emptied the trash. Copied the data to iPhoto again and took a look. The library was exactly the same. When I saw my activity monitor I realised there were just 12 gigabytes remaining in my hard drive (I'm using a 128GB Macbook Air) and before doing all this there were 47 gigabytes remaining. My iPhoto library is about 35GB, and I think I didn't replaced the library, I duplicated it. I'd really like to know if someone can help me finding the other library and deleting it, because I'm getting out of space in my mac.

Your post is not clear

OK

Exactly what does this mean?
Probably your best bet is to run your iPhoto library on an external drive
Moving the iPhoto library is safe and simple - quit iPhoto and drag the iPhoto library intact as a single entity to the external drive - depress the option key and launch iPhoto using the "select library" option to point to the new location on the external drive - fully test it and then trash the old library on the internal drive (test one more time prior to emptying the trash)
And be sure that the External drive is formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) (iPhoto does not work with drives with other formats) and that it is always available prior to launching iPhoto
And backup soon and often - having your iPhoto library on an external drive is not a backup and if you are using Time Machine you need to check and be sure that TM is backing up your external drive

My upgrade to iphone software seemed to work but restore failed (1602)- now phone no longer recognised by itunes and itunes only offers restore to factory settings and warns that this will remove all data- also phone is in restore mode- unusable

so I did the itunes upgrade to 10.5.1 and then teh iphone 4 needed to b e upgraded to new ios5.1 - seemed to go all the way through, and the final restore seemed to fail. Now the phone is no longer recognised as personalised, just as iphone. Also i cannot restore from backup, only restore factory settings and i am warned that I will lose all data. Can I force a restore from back up? can I guaruntee that I can keep data from backups??

Same with me. Anyone have an answer??

HT201065 Is it possible to completely remove ALL data when wiping??

Is ALL data completely wiped and irretrievable from my old mac once this process is done? I have heard of others illegally retrieving data from old discarded hard drives previous owners had 'wiped' clear.

When you erase a drive, you can do it fast/non-secure or slow/secure. Choose the "secure" method and specify 1, 3 or 7-pass option. For large disk drives this can take a VERY VERY LONG TIME. But if you want to be safe, what's a day or two.
The multiple-pass secure options writes different bit-patterns to the drive, before it finally erases it with all zeros, which leaves nothing for anyone to recover later on.
If you choose the unsecure method (the default) it only initializes the information that says how many files are on the drive and where to start writing when new files are created. The actual part of the disk that had your old data is not even touched, so with the right kind of software that information is able to be recovered to varying degrees of success.
The 3-pass secure erase method is what the DOD (Department of Defense) recommends for erasure of drives.
See this for a lot more information about securely erasing disks:

I have changed computers and installed iTunes on my new computer. I want to sync my iphone now but the "sync" program indicates that it will remove all data on my phone and replace it with the newly installed itunes that does not have my information.

I have a new computer and have installed iTunes on it.
Now I want to sync my iphone but the new itunes on the new computer wants to remove everything on my niphone and replace it with what's on the newly installed itunes data but it does not have my data.
How can I sync the new itunes with my iphone and not have my phone data wiped out?
Thanks,

There is no way to stop iTunes from doing exactly what it is designed to do.
The iPhone is designed to sync with one and only one computer.
If you have moved/copied your iTunes library from your old computer to your new one, then iTunes wiping your device is no problem. You would simply sync and iTunes will put all the content back.

When I delete an app from a iphone does it completley remove all data or is there something left on the device

I was just thinking that when delete ny 3rd party apps is there any data left on the device maybe a string
and is this ok.

Phil, thank you for that info. I just found the incoming section, but is different from what you show. I don't have the "Delete from server" setting on my phone. After Authentication mine shows IMAP Path Prefix/ and then goes to the Server Port as the next setting. This is in my work email account and the one I really want to save on the server. Any other idea or explanation on why different??
On my personal account (Yahoo), the advanced screen was much different, but I think I found the same setting and changed it to never. That one appears to be working.
I appreciate your help a lot!!

Removing All Data From Time Capsule For Sale

I recently purchased a new 1 TB Time Capsule and have a 500 GB Time Capsule I plan to sell. What is the best way to restore the Time Capsule to how it came out of the box new? I would like to wipe my backup data off the hard drive and have the settings for the Wi-fi back to default settings so the new owner doesn't have any issues.
Thanks for your help!

To delete everything on the Time Capsule's internal HD, use +*Airport Utility.+* Select +*Base Station > Manual Set-Up+* from the Menubar, then Disks in the tool Bar, then Erase.
To prevent your data from being recovered, choose +Zero Out Data.+ One pass is plenty; you only need multiple passes to try to prevent the CIA or NSA or the like from recovering it. And of course, if they really want it, they already have it .

Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?

Despite ticking the box "remove all website data", when I reset Safari not all stored cookies are eliminated. How can I overcome the problem? Or is it a bug?

I have done a little experimenting: 1-close all open windows (I found that I had to do this step in order to keep Safari from hanging-will be explained later). 2: Remove all data in Prefs. 3: Immediately close the prefs window (no window should be open at this point) and quit Safari. Try to complete step 3 fast as possible; I have it down to a few seconds. The reason I urge you to close all windows is that Safari hangs until forced to quit upon immediately quitting after removing cookies. I think the auto page reload in Lion is the cause of these hiccups but I can't be sure about that. The hasty quit I found is crucial to success. Don't know why that is but it could prevent the data from re-populating. A quick flush, if you will. Hit me back if you need any of my suggestions clarified; a bit wordy, I know

Way to erase all data without restore?

I just got off the phone with apple and they tolf me to take the phone to verizon for exchange due to wifi issues. I don't really want to go through the whole restore process plus Verizon may not like it restored in order to check it out. If I use erase all content under the reset function, will that securely remove all data?

I recently sold my iPhone 4s and followed the erase all content route but didn't stick long enough to see it through, and I found some iPhone data recovery app can restore deleted data from iPhone without backup files, so, I think we have to permanently erase everything from iPhone device before selling it, some “Deleted operation” really doesn’t erase all the data and it still out there, you cannot it.

Ohhh!
All you have to do is to put your iPhone into DFU Mode
Just simply connect your iPhone to iTunes, hold the power button + home button for 10 seconds, later by holding the home screen button continuously (Without leaving it) until it appears to be in recovery mode in iTunes.
You now hit the restore button in iTunes. It will download the latest version of iTunes, which might take a while.
After that, it will install the iOS (51.1) which might take 7-10 min. And you're good to go!
If you're not able to put the iPhone in DFU here are the video instructions : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ofpinyGlQ8I
This should solve your problem!
