Why does it say its going to erase my iphone from my account when i try to erase all content from my phone?

I am trying to factory reset my Iphone5 by clicking settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings. After this is displays a window saying Password Required enter your Apple ID password to erase this IPhone and remove it from your account. I don't want to erase the phone from my account I just want to erase what's on it so old notifications will stop showing up.

The message means that you will be deleting your iCloud account from the device, and therefore removing it from Find My iPhone.  Erasing all content and settings completely erases your phone, including all your accounts and settings.  If you then set up your phone and sign back into your iCloud account, enabling Find My iPhone again (or restore your backup), it will then be associated with your account again.

    Is the iPhone running slow on other wifi networks?
    Does your carrier support 4G/LTE? You can check here: http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/

    Quit iPhoto. In a Finder window, find the file named "com.apple.iPhoto.plist" in your user's Library >Preferences folder. Drag it to the trash. Start iPhoto and try emptying the trash again.

  • Why does imovie say its too large to send to idvd?

    I just made a simple movie 1:39:00. After creating project overnight, error message displays, project is too large. This makes no sense. I have made longer ones and they have transfered easily.
    Anyone have a suggestion here?
    Thanks!!

    In iDVD: Project > Project Info (or iDVD > Preferences > Projects) change your Encoding from Best Performance to either High Quality or Professional Quality.
    These last 2 settings allow for longer movies.
    Best Performance (a misnomer) is limited to 1 hour.
    Edit: That was my first thought however it could also be your HD space.
    How much free space do you have on you hard drive?

  • When going to payment information, why does it say to "please contact customer support to complete this transaction"

    When going to payment information, why does it say to "please contact customer support to complete this transaction"? How do i fix this to be able to purchase apps again?

    Why? Presumably because there is a problem of some kind.
    How do you fix it? By contacting customer support I presume. It's certainly the best (and probably the only) option available to you.

  • In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. This has been going on for over three weeks, I am now on 9 and still it says I have not upgraded.

    In the home page why does Firefox say I haven't upgraded when I have. So I upgrade again and still it says I haven't next time I log on. Today I upgraded to 9, it said congratulations on upgrading, I log off then log back on only to be told yet again I need to upgrade. What is going on?

  • When I click tones in iTunes it says its going to erase the library on iPhone

    Ive got an iMac and Ive logged into the Guest User Account to hook my wifes iPhone up to iTunes. I made some Ringtones in Garageband that I sent to iTunes & when I click on her device in iTunes and then click on Tones and select the tones I want to put on her phone then click sync, it gives me a window that says its going to erase her Library on her iPhone then replace it with the iTunes. Now, Ive got NOTHING checked in iTunes except the option for syncing tones. Is it going to erase her music library if I click Okay or is it just going to put those tones on her iPhone?

  • Hello pls help, Why is my Iphone 4S saying its going to take over 15 hours to back up ?

    My iphone 4S has never backed up in the 2 years that I have had it. I dont know how to save all the stuff off it so I can do an update and if I try to back it up it says its going to take over 15 hours to back up??
    Please let me know what I need to do so that I can back up my stuff and update my software without losing anything.
    lilrhi x

    If necessary, cancel the backup by pressing the 'x' to the right of the progress bar.
    Move your photos from your iPhone to your computer... http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Try the backup again.  If still slow, i.e. more than 15 minutes, you likely have a USB problem.

  • Why does that entire thread goes to sleep when we put a wait function in time critical loop?

    why does that entire thread goes to sleep when we put a wait function in time critical loop but not when it is not time critical

    Norbert B wrote:
    Ujjval,
    in a RT system, priorities have (in general) increased effect on the execution of the application.
    It is recommended that you only have a single task in your RT program at "time critical". If you have two task "time critical" (that means you are running into issues caused by your quoted "feature"), you have a flaw in your application architecture.
    Since LV 7.1, it is recommended to work with Timed Loops in order to prioritize tasks on a RT system. Timed Loops are executed on priorities between "time critical" and "above normal". Each Timed Loop will execute its content in a single thread in order to keep a good overview of the timing (like finished late [i-1]). Using those structures (and according settings) in a reasoned manner will prevent your RT system to run into priority issues.

    [...]also i would really appreciate if i can get more documentations regarding how LV creates threads and assigns subvis to them[...]
    You will have a real hard time to go into this very deep. This is the feature of LV: you can just use multithreading (multicores) without the needed knowledge of scheduling and load balancing. This makes LV programming in general very easy in comparison to e.g. ANSI C (in regard of multithreading). So creation of threads, distribution of tasks to the threads are abstracted and most often not visible to the programmer.
    There are some switches and levers you can "play around" in order to make LV to behave differently in this matter. But this most often requires  deep LV knowledge and cannot be explained in a simple posting.....
    hope this helps,
    Norbert 
    Amen to that!
    The question can not be fully answered without digging into the internals of the OS LV is run on because LV works with the OS and lets it do the scheduling.
    Yes that note applies to pre- LV 7 RT. When run under RT the ONE Time Critical loop was guarenteed to stay determinisitic.
    Since then the Timed Loop was introduced that allowed multiple levels of priority and later allowed us to assign which CPU the code would run on.

  • Why does itunes say the entry point is not found

    why does itunes say it didn't install correctly and to reinstall?

    Greg, did the "Patchburn" really work for you?
    I had the same problem today. I have a smart playlist made up of: Kind>is>Protected AAC audio file. This smart play list allows me to keep track of music I've downloaded from the iTMS after inadvertently deleting the Purchased Music default playlist. Yes, I know a new “Purchased Music” playlist is created when you buy music again, but it doesn’t contain any of the songs you’ve already downloaded.
    When I went to burn this playlist (several hundred songs) to multiple audio CD format - I go the same result you got.
    "After asking to burn a play list it asks to insert CD, checks the media, checks the play list and then stops with the apple icon reappearing and NO error message."
    Apple tech support couldn’t help me - I found that out the hard way - after 1.5 hours on the phone. No, I haven't exceeded the 7 time burn limit either.
    I tried selecting all the songs in the smart playlist and creating a new [regular] playlist and tried to burn from that, but got the same result.
    Finally, I tried typing "Protected AAC audio file" from my main library in the search window, selected all the songs that resulted, created a new [regular] playlist from that selection and the burn was successful.
    It was a real pain and took almost 3 hours to figure out, but it worked. I'm going to try the "Patchburn" download talked about earlier, but don't know if that's the real problem.
    Yes, I have upgraded my SuperDrive, but iTunes recognizes it - Preferences>Advanced>Burning - if your drive shows up here then that's not the problem. Besides, I had the same problem when trying to burn to the original SuperDrive too.
    I think the problem may be deeper inside iTunes itself. Duh! Maybe something with Apple tightening their DRM scheme which may make us unwitting beta testers to see if they tightened the noose too tight or not. Just a guess.
    Any thoughts, anyone?
