My iPhone contact list keeps getting replaced by the one in the iphone I sold?
I recently got the new iphone 5S. I sold my older 4S to a friend's son. He did not have money for a data plan so I turned off data in the settings. I deleted apps that might have had personal information in them. I also emptied my address book, signed out of e-mail, and so on. I was very careful about it. He put his simm card in it from his prior phone. I did not do a factory reset because I thought without an iphone account he may not be able to get any apps.
Since then, I have signed up for their dang iCloud business.
Now for the question, every few days this week, my Contacts list will disappear and be replaced by his. I have mine backed up but it's still quite annoying. I'm paranoid about calling apple to complain because I don't know what the rules are on this kind of thing and if they will try to force him to have a data plan or disable the phone somehow if they find out the phone is being used by someone. I tried backing up my data to the cloud and also tried resetting my iCloud/apple password. Nothing has stopped the problem.
Why is this happening? What can I do about it?
It's because you have iCloud enabled on his iPhone. Also if you didn't sign out of your apple id and didn't restore it, couldn't he buy apps with your account. Also he can simply create an apple id if he doesn't have an account.
Right now, you have 2 options:
1) Tell him to turn off iCloud.
2) Turn off iCloud on your iPhone.
Do a complete factory reset on the kids iPhone 4S, it won't mess up anything. He will still be able to use the cellphone even without a data plan, if you can you should also change your Apple ID password.
- When my iPhone 6 screen is replaced by apple, will the home button be replaced as well? Ever since I updated to iOS 9 on my iPhone 6, the home button has been totally unresponsive. On top of this, my phone was recently stepped on and the screen was shattered. I plan on paying the $109 to have the screen replaced from apple, but does that replace the home button too? I've heard that when the front screen panel is replaced, so is the home button/touch id.
- My contacts disappeared from my contact list on the iPhone 5s, randomly. How can I get them back? My contact list somehow erased when it was in my purse. The contacts are still there when I create a text message or search someone to text, but I can't dial out because the contacts from my contact list are gone. My iCloud is still on, so it's not that. Is there a way I can get them back?
