That means you have restored it to factory settings, wiping out everything that was on it. If you have a backup of the stuff that was lost, you can restore from that backup.

    what does restor back up mean?/what does it do

    it stores all the data on your device in another place so that you can restore from it if a problem happens (say your device crashes or gets erased). then all your data is restored to your iPhone/iPod/iPad/Mac.

  • I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    I got an iphone from Hong Kong which is locked one. Can anyone explain me what does a locked iphone means. How do I use it in India now, with my own sim card. How do I unlock it???

    If your iPhone is locked to a wireless provider, only that wireless provider
    can unlock it. Contact the wireless provider in Hong Kong to see if they
    offer unlocking and if you qualify.
    If your iPhone is locked to an AppleID that you do not know, return it for
    a refund as it is useless. Only the person whose AppleID was used for
    activation can remove the lock. There is no workaround for Activation Lock.
    If neither of the above is what you are facing, provide more detail so someone
    may offer a solution.

  • What does "Upgrade Your Device" mean for a VZW customer?

    I had a LG Octane and "upgraded" to LG Cosmos at the end of my contract. The Octane does not have a camcorder but the Cosmos did. To me this was a "downgrade." I learned of this "downgrade" after I had the "upgraded" a few weeks. I believe Verizon's use of the term "Upgrade Your Device" is deceptive and a false promise. Verizon representatives refuse to recognize this "upgrade" as a "downgrade." I am stuck with a downgraded phone for more than another year before I can upgrade again without paying the full cost of a phone! So what does "Upgrade Your Device" mean when used on the Webpage of your Verizon Account?

    "I had a LG Octane and "upgraded" to LG Cosmos at the end of my contract. The Octane does not have a camcorder but the Cosmos did."
    The upgrade is that your new phone has a camcorder. Your old phone did not.
    The word upgrade means to me getting a new phone that has features that my old phone didn't have and that i will actually use.

    What does resetting your settings mean?

    If you mean using Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings this causes all settings to be returned to iOS defaults. It will also clear stored WiFi hotspots.

  • What does restoring my iPhone do?

    I just got my mom's old iPhone December 9th. So i added all my contacts into the phone. I have saved all the pictures i have taken in the main camera roll. So I hooked up my iPhone 4 to the computer, and daved all of the "Camera Roll" pictures. I wanted to get rid of the other folders my mom has but save them onto my computer. Whem iTunes opened up after i saved my photos from "Camera Roll", it said something about iTunes not being able to read my iPhone and that i needed to restore it. It shows the "iPhone Recovery Mode". Will restoring my phone from iTunes (when itunes told me to, not my iPhone) delete everything off of my phone from contacts to pictures?

    If it says: "iPhone Recovery Mode". then everything is already gone from the iphone.
    You need to restore it.
    You will lose anything that you have failed to import/transfer/save to your computer.

  • ITunes.  After installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean?  Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

    iTunes.  After backing iPod to computer and installing new software, what does "restore iPod" mean?  Does it mean to restore all games and data to the new software or does it mean to "undo" the software update?

    You can restore your iPod to "New" which will erase every thing and install fresh iOS software or you can restore to a particular backup that you have previously created. In this case, your iPod Apps & data will appear as per the backup. Note that some content is not in a backup and will need to be synced back to the iPad from the iTunes music library or from, for example, the iPhoto photo library.

  • What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What does "extracted channel PDF" mean and why does it continually duplicate on my desktop?  I think it happens when I move a file in Finder to another file and when I copy some web files.  I have to immediately move to trash all the duplications on my desktop.  How do I avoid this on my Mac (Mavericks)?  Thanks for your help!

    What application is set to open PDF files? If you CNTRL click on the file and open with Preview does the problem occur?
    If not change the default application to open PDF files to Preview.
    You can do this by highlighting the file and either use CMD i or Get Info , this will open a window with the info on the file with an option to change the application that opens the file.
    That's all I can think of.

  • What does restoring mean?

    If you haven't backed up your information on iCloud or anywhere for that matter, does "restoring your phone" basically mean you will never see your pictures, contacts, calendars, and texts again?
    (Additional info- I can't back up my phone now. It's too late. I did a software update and it went wrong--have to plug my phone into iTunes because it won't work and the thing that shows it needs to be connected is displayed. The only option is to restore my phone...am I screwed?

    See my reply in your other thread.

  • Is it possible for someone to know what you're doing on your iphone on another iphone?

    Is it possible for someone to know what you're doing on your iphone on another iphone? My brother knows exactly what I've been doing on my iphone, playing games, listening to music, whatever and he tells my mom. Is there any apps that can do that? He's also not anywhere near me. He's kinda far away from me and he calls my mom and tells her that I've been doing this and that on my iphone. I was just wondering how he could do that.

    Only if your iPhone has been jailbroken or he has access to your
    Apple ID and password.

    I forgot my password\i get my phone back and i forgot my password so i read that you have to restore your iphone so when i tried restoring it it said the i phone cannot be restored at this time something about cant be contacted with the server and i youtubed how to fix that and it did but when i tried it again it said error (3194) so i went back and it said it cant be restored at this time please im paying 100$ per month and i cant use my i phone 4 hep....

    Error 3194 most often means that your Computer Hosts file is blocking Apple from signing your firmware. Search on your computer for the word 'Hosts'. Open the Hosts with a word processor. If gs.apple.com is present your Hosts file is blocking Apple, and therefore giving Error 3194. A stock Hosts file does not have gs.apple.com in it. If want Apple to Restore your Firmware you will need to remove the lines with gs.apple.com in them.
