iPhones require a SIM for activation.
Put the device in DFU mode (google it) and restore via iTunes.

Option to wipe data after ten failed passcode attempts

Having just upgraded to the latest 2.1 software there is now the security setting to wipe data after ten failed passcode attempts - which I can't turn off as I am synching with work email. Can anyone confirm that this is 10 CONSECUTIVE attempts as 'fat finger syndrome' often means I take a couple of gos each time. Thanks!

A quick search of Apple Support yielded this:
"If you repeatedly enter the wrong passcode, iPhone or iPod touch will be disabled for longer intervals, before you can try again. After too many unsuccessful attempts, you won't be able to try again until you connect to the computer you normally sync with. Note that starting with iPhone 2.1 software, there is a setting to cause the device to erase itself after 10 consecutive incorrect password attempts. This setting is off by default. It can be turned on by tapping Settings > General > Passcode Lock after you enter a correct passcode."

You can search Apple support for this as well. It is probably in the manual as well:

How Do I Wipe Data from a BB Curve that won't come on?

My BB Curve died yesterday on me and it was under warranty. To get the $160 credit for it under the warranty plan, I need to send it back. The problem is that it has all kinds of data on it... account numbers, personal information (birthdates, addresses, numbers, etc.) of 800 people in the directory,
But since it won't come on, I'm stumped. How do I wipe it? I've tried changing the battery out time and again, I've tried connecting the charger with and without the battery, I've tried connecting the data cable to maybe access the phone to wipe it--all to no avail.
The pop-up I get when I plug it into my computer says: "USB Device Not Recognized."
Short of applying a hammer to it (in which case I lose the warranty), how do I reliably wipe the data from it?
Please advise.
Thank you,

Wipe data macbook air without disk

i wanna wipe me data i have a macbook air 2012 mt lion
my mac didnt come with a disk
how do i do this????

Lion and Mountain Lion do not come with a separate DVD, the recovery Hard Drive is used for reinstalls, etc.
Restart holding both the Command and R keys, you will then be on the recovery hard drive, and have a window with several options. You can choose to reinstall, use disk utility to erase and install or whatever you want to do.

How do I wipe data from my macbook?

I have a MacBook I bought in 2009 that is running Mac OS X Version 10.5.8 with a 2 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory.
I just purchased a new MacBook Pro, and I want to wipe the data from my old MacBook so that I can recycle it at the Apple Store. What is the best way to wipe the data securely from my MacBook?

Click here and follow the instructions. When you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C or Option key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

Mac Mini Stolen and need to wipe data

Hi.
Our office had a Mac Mini stolen and we need to wipe the data from it. Problem is, all our Macs have been upgraded to Yosemite apart form teh one stolen and can't see it on the list within iCloud.
Is there another way we can wipe the data from iCloud on that Mac Mini?

If you can't erase by:
iCloud: Erase your device
Then you would first have to physically find the Mac in order to erase. it.

Wipe data but keep osx 10.7.5

im selling my imac but the new buyer wants to keep operating system on it and i want to wipe my personal data?
thanks

Before you sell or give away your computer, in addition to the steps mentioned in this support article, take these steps:
Run Apple Diagnostics or the Apple Hardware Test. The buyer will do this (or he should), and you don't want to be surprised by the results.
Reset the PRAM and the SMC, which might contain personal information.
If you set a firmware password, remove it by running Firmware Password Utility in Recovery mode.
If you activated FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, turn it off.
If you use Boot Camp, the partition must be deleted.
If you created any other data partitions on the internal drive, remove them in Disk Utility.
If the machine has an internal hard drive, erase the one remaining data partition with the option to zero out data. An SSD doesn't need to be zeroed.
You can't legally or practically transfer any software downloaded from the Mac App Store to the new owner of the machine, even if it was free. That includes OS X, so if you upgraded to OS X 10.7 or later, you must reinstall an older OS, either from the installation media, if applicable, or by starting up in Internet Recovery mode (option-command-R at the startup chime.) If you installed from physical media, deliver those to the new owner.
If you're selling the machine, or donating it in working order, and it originally shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, then you have the option of installing either from the discs that came with it or from a retail Snow Leopard disc (which you must then transfer to the buyer.) The buyer should understand that if he doesn't get the original discs from you, he won't get the bundled iLife applications or the Apple Hardware Test. Replacements for the original discs can be ordered from Apple.
The new owner will have to redownload any software that came from the App Store, including OS X upgrades, under his or her Apple ID. If you ever updated the bundled iLife applications (Garage Band, iMovie, and iPhoto) through the App Store, you can't transfer those either. The buyer will have to purchase them.
Remove the machine from your list of registered products. If it's still covered by an AppleCare Protection Plan, transfer the coverage to the new owner by following the instructions in the AppleCare Terms and Conditions (under the heading "Transfer of Plan.")

Wipe data from G4

I just dug out an old iMac G4 PPC of mine that I'd like to give to my great nephew. How can I delete all of my stuff on it without removing the programs?
Also what are the latest versions of the OS, Safari, & Firefox that will run on this machine? Currently running 10.2.8

You can buy it on eBay or look for it in Google, just make absolutely sure that you get a black retail version, and not grey machine specific discs.
