I am able to turn in my 3GS for a new iphone 4 under the 30 day Att policy. when I turn it in I don't want any personal info left for someone to get a hold of. I need to know step by step (I'm a little slow when it comes to all this new newfangled things) how to wipe out all the info, data, personal stuff, etc from my 3GS when I turn it over to ATT for a new iphone 4.

This is ridiculous. iTunes asked me if I want to update the iPhone OS to 5.1.1, so I said yes, and then it said there was an "unknown error." Now the screen shows a graphic of a USB cord pointing to iTunes. When I plug into iTunes again it says "iPhone is in recovery mode" and then tells me all the settings are going to be wiped out.

My 3GS was stolen this morning so I set up a Remote Wipe using Find My iPhone. Turns out a neighborhood kid stole it and, luckily, his parents brought it back to me. As soon as I turned it on, the Remote Wipe started. Now, it's stuck on the Apple logo and isn't responding (won't reboot, iTunes doesn't see it, won't go into DFU mode). The Remote Wipe didn't complete.I am *NOT* a thief! This really happened. I have a good reputation on a couple other forums where I post more often and I can post a photo of my purchase receipt from June 2009 if someone tells me how. don't have Edge or 3G data service. I use my 3GS over Wifi. I thought this might be the problem, but the instructions to start remote wipe came to the phone over Wifi, so it should be able to continue over wifi.
Q: Has anyone experienced this type or problem or heard about it?
Q: Any ideas on how to fix this problem?

Got my iPhone stolen. The person turned it off right away. So far it has been offline. I have been sending messages and locking commends through iCloud.com, but have not chosen the remote wipe option yet.
Is it possible for a stolen iPhone be identified after restore? An iPhone has a series number, I assume iTunes would be able to identify this number somehow. Can anything be done on this front?

I recently lost my Iphone 4 and wiped it using the Find My Phone application. But the Iphone is retrieved and I still have not recieved any mail about a succsessful wipe. So my question is; is it possible to regret the remote wipe function? I guess the wipe function will start when the Iphone gets in contact with a network with internet access? I have some backup on my mac, but there is many important items on the phone that has no backup.

My phone was stolen out of my bag, it was dead. So he/she had chearged and posted a picture on one of my social media accounts basically taunting me?Â
I bought a new one so I have that cleared up and I am not worried about that, but I have a GREAT deal of passwords and important information on there, just hoping there is another way to erase all said personal information from my phone. Like many others, my request to erase is still pending, is that just because they have not connected to wifi? And if he/she goes weeks without accessing wifi does this mean he/she can see all personal information on there?

The only problem is that the screen is broken, it wont slide to unlock so I am unable to put in the passcode in so I can restore it and wipe it on Itunes. The lock button is very, very selective to. More than 99% of the time it doesnt work, actually. The only thing that seems to work is the home button.
As you know, because I am unable to put in the passcode my computer refuses to read it, so I cannt go in and manually delete everything myself.
Is there any other way to completely wipe it? Or am I screwed?

i am just testing this on the domain and i have cofngured my ipad and iphone to download emails from the exchange. I have also installed the MobileAdmin plugin as we have exchange 2003. When i get into the website i can find my devices assinged to my account and i have started a wipe which i am told has been accepted by the device. Now my iPad has a black screen and a busy icon (circle of lines) as if it's doing something, but it's been going for 30minutes so far. How long does it take roughly (iPad2 16gb) Also is there anyway to stop a user from Jailbreaking there company owned iPad apart from contracts and disclaimers etc...

View 10 Replies View RelatedI bought an E72 some days ago, so my E71 it's free to do some tests.I always wanted to test the "Remote Wipe". According with some web pages (I didn't verified thru specs), E71 has a "Remote Wipe" feature.It works by remote locking and after that, trying 5 passwords, with no luck.I tested, and E71 only says "Too many retries, the phone will be unlocked in 5 minutes" or something like that (the message is in Spanish, so the real English message vary).But, after trying with too many passwords, the phone does not self-wipe.So This feature is for real? Or is just a web hoax?
