How to erase all data on iPhone 4?
Added (1). Update: Hi, recently my aunt gave me her iPhone 4. But it says it is disabled for 24,654,897 minutes. I've been looking up ways to manually erase the iPhone by just using combinations of the home button and the top button (The button to turn the device on and off), But those just seem to just shut the iPhone down. Also my aunt forgot her iTunes password too, so restoring is not an option anymore. So is there a combination of buttons on the iPhone I can use to erase all the data?
Launch the Settings app from the Home screen of your iPhone or iPad.
Now tap on General.
Scroll all the way to the bottom and tap on Reset.
Tap on Erase All Content and Settings.
You will be prompted to confirm your selection, tap on Erase iPhone.
- Will syncing my iPhone erase all of my data? My computer had a hard drive problem so they replaced my computer. I know syncing my iPhone (4s if it matters) to the computer will wipe the current music on my phone, which is fine. I just want to know if it will wipe my other data. Such as pictures, apps, things like that. I would just like to know if it does or not before I sync just so I can save my pictures and things to another place.
- What will erase and sync erase on my iphone? I wanted to connect my iphone to a new computer but it says erase and sync, what will it erase? All of the contents or just music?
- If you update your iPhone 4S to 6.0.1 through Wi-Fi, does it erase all your data? I have updated to 6.0 before on my laptop in iTunes, but strangely it didn't erase all my data, so I didn't have to back up. I didn't see it automatically back up during the process of updating, so I was wondering if it would erase all my iPhone data if I updated it through Wi-Fi. A few months before, when I updated to 5.1.1 it erased all my data. I'm not sure if Apple did anything to 6.0 that made it not erase my data…
- If I erase and sync my iPhone 4 in the music library, will it erase my photos? I'm trying to add music to my iPhone 4 and when I go to sync just the music, it says 'erase and sync'. Will it delete my photos? If so, can I right click my iPhone and back it up so if it does delete my photos, I can just back it up?
