Want to turn my phone in to service and need to hide messages?

Hey
I'm going to turn my phone in to service, and I'm wondering if there is a way to hide your messages or something without restoring?
Thanks

Sorry, no. Other than passcode protecting your phone, there is no way to do that. Why don't you just create a current backup, then: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. When you get the phone back, just restore it from the backup you created.

TS4006 How do I add iphone4s to iCloud's "find my phone"? I turned on macbook pros system prefs to "find my phone", turned on iphone4s's "location services" and set up iCloud, etc. iPhone4s still won't show-but macbook does show. It receives gmail, weathe

How do I add my new iPhone4s to iCloud's "Find my iPhone"? I followed the iCloud instructions and turned on Macbook Pros' system prefs to "find my mac", turned on iPhone4s's "location services" and set up iCloud, etc. In the "Find my iphone" tab of my new iCloud account (on my Macbook Pro) my iPhone4s still won't show—but my macbook does show. I had my iPhone4s set up at the phone store (2 days ago) and It receives gmail, my contacts and calender entries, the weather, etc. I installed the "Find iPhone" app from iTunes on the iPhone4s, synched to iTunes, even reset the phone, but the only device that gets located is my Macbook Pro. I can send a "sound" message to my Mac (and the Mac recieves it) but unable to see the iPhone4s from my Mac, let alone send any message. Any suggestions to get the iPhone4s device to appear in iCloud?
Thank you in advance for your help.

OK, I figured it out...I deleted the iCloud account off my iPhone (Settings, iCloud, Delete Account), and then added iCloud back in (Settings, iCloud, SignIn)....and then my email (iCloud) and "Find my phone" features worked! Nice!!!!

Have you tried signing out of your Apple ID, restart the iPad and then start all over again?
Go to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID. Tap the ID and sign out. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Then go back to Settings>iTunes & App Stores>Apple ID. Sign in again. Then go to Settings>FaceTime>On. See if it will stay turned on and it it does, sign in and setup.

My iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this, I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first.

my iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this, I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first. Original problem is that I cannot connect to any wifi system anymore - have tried resetting network settings but did not work.

Try 1 step at a time and do a backup, if no joy then do the next step:
1. Switching off your anti-virus and firewall.
2. Computer iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences... > Devices > delete your backup

I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect because it locked with password. I can't input the password becasue it showing no service and needs to be restored.

I need to restore my iphone but itunes can't connect to it because of my password which I can't input becasue it has no service and needs to be restored. what can I do to restore it? Is there a way to input the password?

You will need to put the iPhone into Recovery Mode to be able to restore it in iTunes.
To put your iPod/iPhone into recovery mode:
1. Make sure the iPod/iPhone is connected to a computer with iTunes installed on it.
2. Hold down the sleep/wake button(top button) and the home button at the same time until the iPod/iPhone screen goes black then shows the apple logo( usually 10-15 seconds).
3. Once the apple logo appears on the screen, let go of the sleep/wake button and keep holding the home button.
4. The ipod/iphone screen should show an itunes logo and usb cable if you were successful. A dialog box will appear in iTunes that states an iPod/iPhone in recovery mode has been detected if you are successful.
5. Click ok, then click the Restore button
After that you should be up and running in no time!
I hope that this is helpful.

I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: you have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. I am sysadm

I want to de-install mac-excel test version and get the error message: 'You have not the privileges to de-install. Please login with the Mac-OS account you have installed mac-excel originally'. I don't know this account anymore. Possibly it does not exist anymore. anybody out there who can help ?

Hi, I may suggest to activate the root account and try the uninstall process from that account. To do so, you have to:
Go to System Preferences a open up the Users pane;
On the left side of the pane, you shuold see Login Options;
Enabled editing option clicking on the lock (it will ask your password);
Once the pane is enabled, you should see something like Server Account Network (sorry my OS is in italian, so I don't exactly know the right translation), and right next to it a button;
Click on that button, and a new pane shows up. Click on Open Directory Utility, and on the upper bar of OS X click on Edit;
Select Enable Root Account (you can set a password, or not);
Done that, you should log out and when the login window show up, type on the user field "root" and the password you choose;
Theorically, from this account you will be able to unistall the application.
After completing your task, I reccomend you to disable the root account, just by loggin in your personal account and repeating the steps I described before. Hope it helps

Hi hannijin,
What version of the Mac OS X do you have on your computer? The version of iTunes that you can install is dependent on the operating system that you have. For example, the current version of iTunes requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later.

Hey jayashri,
I'd give restoring a shot, but I'd make sure to back up your content first. You can read about how to do both things in the following article:

How can I get access to a icloud back up from two weeks ago? I had a loaner phoe for 10 days while my phone was being serviced and i can't seem to access the majority of photos that were backed up on icloud.

how do I access an icloud backup on my iphone for December 18th, 2014 or earlier? I had a loaner phone in the interim and a number of photos & videos are not being reloaded on my phone from icloud. It was explained to me that if I access an update prior to needing the loaner phone I may be able to retrieve these??

Hi Brad Newman-Bennett,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you would like to restore your iPhone from an earlier iCloud backup. Please use the information in the attached article for information on how to choose which iCloud backup you wish to restore from.
iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud
Set up a new device from an iCloud backup
Turn on your iOS device.
In the Setup Assistant, proceed to “Set up your device,” tap Restore from a Backup, then sign in to iCloud.
Proceed to “Choose backup,” then choose from a list of available backups in iCloud.
Cheers,

HT201304 i want to be able to locate my teen and see his text messages. I also want to be able to block times for him to talk or text,. Can I do this with a 4S 16 i phone?

I want to be able to locate my teen from his phone,see who and what he is texting and I also want to know if I can block text and phone calls at certain times of the day?

Install 'find my iphone' to locate. There are security/parental settings on the phone that you can change, but I am not sure about limiting times that text/calls can be made. Call your cell phone carrier - they may have more options for that...

I got a similar message, but mine finished restoring pretty soon and then I was able to download and install 7.0.2
Try rebooting your phone to see if that helps.

Why is my phone saying no service and I try a different sim and it won't activate the phone it's as if it's blocked, Why is my phone saying no service and I try a different sim and it won't activate the phone it's as if it's blocked

My phone is saying no service I put a different sim in on tmobile and it won't activate the phone

No. Apple does not unlock iPhones. ONLY the carrier it's locked to can authorize unlocking it. If it's locked to Vodafone, contact Vodafone and find out if you qualify to get it unlocked and how much it will cost.
