How to restore an iphone to its default settings? (4s)?
I'm thinking of lending my iphone 4s to a friend while he gets his fixed. But if I do lend it to him I want to give it to him with its default settings (ie no apps, contacts or photos on it).Is there a way I can give it to him without anything on it and when I get it back I can restore everything the way it was before?
Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings but I'm not sure if this gets rid of Apps.
To get rid of Apps definitely plug it into your computer, laptop and it should open iTunes if you have it installed. Then go to 'iPhone' or whatever it's called on the sidebar and it should say Restore.
Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content And Settings. I think this is right, and I'm sure you can do it by connecting your phone to your computer/iTunes to.
Tap the Settings app, go to 'General', then 'Reset' (at the bottom of the page), then 'Erase all Content and Settings'
This deletes absolutely everything you've ever done on the phone, so make sure you have a backup.
Your friend will have to set it up as a new phone (just like when you did when you first got it out of the box)
- Will the MAC address of my iPhone reset if I reset my iPhone to its factory settings over iTunes? I have jailbroken my device and used terminal to change my MAC address so that I could connect to school's Wi-Fi. But when I wanted to change it to its initial number, I typed in a wrong value and it just messed up my Wi-Fi, I can't connect to Wi-Fi anymore. Wonder if resetting to factory settings would help…
- When you erase an iphone of all of its content & settings, does this mean EVERYTHING is wiped? I wiped my old iphone because i got the new 6s. So my icloud is in use on my current phone, but i wanted to know, that since i wiped out my old on. Does that mean it would be safe to give it to a family member or close friend to use? Without having my personal info. On it?
- What settings will it change if I press reset all settings on my iPhone? Also, will this help speed up my iPhone because that's what I've heard. Because my iPhone has been so slow lately and taking like 3-5 minutes to send 1 text. If you know of any other ways that could help speed that up please also let me know that.
- In my school there's a NO PASSWORD Wi-Fi but you can't connect. Some can, because he change something in settings in phone in Wi-Fi settings? Please tell me how! I need it very much, if somebody help me, i give him steam key. I need to know ho to do that on iPhone. He just add some port or something like that.
