What happens when i rest my iphone 3gs ?

what happens when i rest my iphone 3gs ?

iTunes will backup the device.
The device is erased completely.
The current version of iOS is downloaded.
iOS is then installed.
You then get an option to install the previous backup or as a New device.

  • What happens when i restore my iPhone?

    i was curious as to what happens when you plug your iphone into itunes and click restore.
    will i lose all my contacts and pictures?
    and will it make the backlight on my iphone work?

    A restore may help your iphone - it is one of the troubleshooting steps. Page 141 of the manual:
    "If you restore, the latest version of iPhone software is reinstalled, default settings are
    restored, and data stored on iPhone is deleted, including downloaded applications,
    songs, videos, contacts, photos, calendar information, and any other data. In iTunes,
    you can also restore from a backup without deleting data stored on iPhone.
    Deleted data is no longer accessible via the iPhone user interface, but is not
    permanently erased from your iPhone until it is overwritten by new data. For
    information about permanently erasing all content and settings, see “Resetting
    iPhone” on page 109. "

    I gave you the link to the Apple article to determine hardware failure earlier. If those steps or a reset, restore don't work then you need to call or visit Apple for a replacement.

    If you are talking about activation lock you are out of luck. Without that information you cannot activate the device and have just lost your money. Unless you can find the person and get your money back.

  • What happens when I press 'erase iphone' in the icloud?

    If I lose my phone and erase it on the icloud via find my iphone, does that erase everything including photos, contacts and facebook?
    and what does the lost mode do?
    thanks

    Does that mean that all app activity and all photos etc are erased, so it returns to factory settings
    and lost mode I am still a bit unclear on what it does?
    thanks!

  • What Happens When I Restore My iPhone From a Backup

    This a pretty simple question but nowhere can I find the answer. I had the iPhone 5 and got the 5s last month. I backed up all my stuff, and I just haven't put it back on yet. I have loads of pictures already from the past month and I don't want to lose them when I "restore from backup," but I want to restore. So when I do this, will it erase my current stuff? Thank you so much!!!!!

    yes it will erase your pictures, you can transfer your pictures to a pc or mac and then restore your phone from the back up and later on you can tranfer your pictures to the phone.

  • What happens when you buy unlocked iPhone 5?

    When I go to buy a unlocked iPhone, do I need to give Apple a phone number as well? Or do I just go in, buy unlocked iPhone, and walk out of apple store with iPhone and later can put in SIM card?

    Maybe we should establish an iPhone "hedge" market when the iPhone 6 comes around...

  • What happens when i sync my iphone? does the info on my phone overwrite the info from my previous sync? for example, when i delete some apps and messages on my phine, and i sync it, do these deleted items get restored?

    please help!:)

    See this excellent user tip from Kappy explaining "Other":
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-5142
    You probably have one or more corrupt apps.  Make sure you do not simply restore all your apps ... choose which ones you keep.

  • I am due to upgrade my iPhone 3 to iPhone 5. I have icloud which co-ordinates my phone and mac what happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my contacts, notes, addresses etc. Do I have to disconnect icloud and how? What happens?

    I am due to upgrade my iphone 3 to iphone 5.  I have icloud which is co-ordinating my iphone 3 and Mac Pro updating each other.  What happens when I get a new phone - I dont want to lose all my addresses, notes etc.  What is the procedure and step by step action?  The new phone arrives - then what?

    When I upgraded from the iPhone 3GS to iPhone 5, I simply did a Backup of my phone using iTunes, plugged in the new iPhone 5 into my Mac, and did a Restore of that backup to put everything back. This procedure is documented around the web. Also, the new phone will ask you for your Apple ID and when you enter it, all your iCloud info will be downloaded to the phone. It worked pretty well for me.

  • What happens when I restore data to a non-factory set iPhone?

    Okay, another iCloud question. What I did was basically delete a game, start a new one, and now I want my old game back (saved to ICloud). What happens when I restore full data to a non-factory set iPhone? Will it overwrite current data? Will it delete everything? I just want to know, I'm such an iOS noob. :-/

    A restore is all or nothing.
    If a backup is restored to the device, ALL data currently on the device is wiped and replaced with the data from the backup.
    Restoring a backup to get one saved game back seems rather extreme and silly.

  • TS3694 What happens when the iPhone needs an activation and it doesn't respond? Then it asks me to restore it but due to an unknown error (-1) the iPhone can't be restored.

    Thank you for your response. However, I have done that plenty of times and each time I try to restore my phone, it extracts the software and then when it says restoring with the loading bar, an error message comes up saying an unknown error has occurred.

    No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
    As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.

  • What happens when you AirDrop from Mac to iPhone and click Cancel?

    I have a Late 2013 27" iMac running OS X Yosemite 10.10 and an iPhone 6 Plus running iOS 8.0.2.
    I can take a PDF on my iMac, drag it to my iPhone in the AirDrop section of Finder, and it transfer to my iPhone just fine.  Once it's finished transferring, a popup shows on my iPhone asking me what app I want to open the PDF in, which is great.  At the bottom of that popup is a "Cancel" option.  My question is, what happens when you tap "Cancel" instead of one of the apps?  Is the file still somewhere on the iPhone?  Or does it get deleted?

    Connecting to a new computer or iTunes will always erase the device first. Back up manually before by right clicking on the iPod in the device list and choosing "backup". A manual backup does not include the sync process. You can use this backup to restore from after your iPod got wiped during the first sync.
    Transfer your purchases the same way and make sure to have at least one contact and event listed on your Mac, to be able to merge data.
    See also iTunes: About iOS backups to get more info about the content of a backup, and How to back up your data and set up as a new device , if you want to know more about saving info from the iPod before setting it up in iTunes.
