    Hi, I recently received an email which I believed to be from my bank but it turns out it was from someone trying to hack my bank account. I accessed the email on my phone and I wanted to know if I need to restore my iphone back to default settings? I am a bit worried about losing everything on my phone if I do this but at the same time I don't want them to get any other information. Any ideas?

    Did you log in with your bank account via the link included with this email?
    If not, you have nothing to worry about.
    Accessing or viewing the email alone can't provide your bank account info or the log in for your bank account.

  • I restored Firefox to its default settings but the slowness, crashing and non-responsiveness are not resolved

    Hello fellow-users of Firefox,
    I followed the advice stated in the Support article about slowness, crashing, etc. by restoring Firefox to its default settings. But the problems didn't go away. The browser remains slow and still gives me error messages about a non-responsive script or plugin and crashes. To make matters worse I don't see the menu items on the top toolbar I was so used to using, like File, Edit, View, etc. I used the View menu very often to zoom in on texts too small for me to read. Now I can't do that. I tried to drag some icons from the menu on the top right-hand corner of the page onto the top tool bar above the address bar, but this is not the same as what I was used to using before, And there are no File, Edit, View, Tools icons in the menu. So now I'm seeing my g-mail inbox in tiny little characters. I tried using the magnifier suggested in the Troubleshooting page of Support, but it's too cumbersome so I gave up.
    Would someone kindly please help me out on these issues? Thank you very much in advance.
    Regards,
    Tom Graciano (globmart)

    My pleasure!! :)

    Try to restore your iOS device two more times while connected with a cable, computer, and network you know are good.

  • Restore iPhone back to factory settings

    I have a question. I have been having problems with my iPhone 4 locking up. I wanted to try and restore it back to factory settings. It's still
    running 4.0. Will it automatically update the os or just restore back to my last sync

    The OS is not included in your iphone backup, thus if you restore your phone as a new device iOS 4.1 will be installed on your phone. Be sure an update to itunes 10.0 before you do so.

  • TS3694 RESTORING IPHONE IN RECOVERY MODE

    im trying to update my iphone 4s software to i06 and the download always stops 1/4 of the way and it comes up with a message...  unable to update... error 3004.. its so frustrating... please help!!

    Hi poppymoo,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  I recommend trying the steps pertinent to error 3004 from this article:
    iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
    Errors 3000-3999 (3004, 3013, 3018, 3164, 3194, and so on): Error codes in the 3000 range generally mean that iTunes can't contact the update server (gs.apple.com) on ports 80 or 443.
    Update to the latest version of iTunes.
    Verify the computer's date and time are accurate.
    Check that your security or firewall software isn't interfering with ports 80 or 443 or with the server gs.apple.com.
    Follow these steps to troubleshoot security software. Often, uninstalling third-party security software will resolve these errors.
    An entry in your hosts file may be redirecting requests to gs.apple.com (go to "Unable to contact the iOS software update server gs.apple.com" above).
    Internet proxy settings can cause this issue. If you're using a proxy, try again without using a proxy.
    Test restoring while connected to a known-good network.
    If you're using a Mac, this section may also help:
    Error 3004: If you're using a Mac, you may be able to resolve an error 3004 by quitting iTunes and using the following command in the command line: dscacheutil -flushcache.
    Cheers,

  • Accidentally restored iphone 4 with 3gs settings

    Restore again, and this time when asked, restore it from that backup. Do not restore it as a new device.

  • Restore iphone 5 to factory settings and then restore my data from backup

    I have an iphone 5 running ios 7.0.6 which was installed over the air. I want to replace that over the air installation with a usb installed version. It appears that to do this I have to 'restore' my iphone back to factory condition which as I understand it will install the new ios, but also erase all of my data/apps/etc. If I make a backup of my phone prior to 'restoring' it, will I be able to then use my backup to restore all my stuff?
    Thanks!
    Bob

    I have done the backup and restore several times to an iPad and an iPhone. I have never had a failure. Make certain your device is fully charged before you start.
    I have done this to remove excessive "other" storage on the devices.

  • Restoring mac display to default settings

    Hi, I'm a new mac user. Just bought a Mac mini with Mac OS X Lion (10.7.4). I was messing around with the resolutions on the display settings. I set the resolution back to the 1080p where it was when I first started messsing with it. Now the color is off, the screen is not how it was before I started tampering with resolution settings. I've tried recalibrating the color but its still off. When I start my mac up in Safe Boot the windows and color look normal as if I changed nothing. I'm really not sure what I am doing so if anyone could help me out it will be well appreciated.
