I've never logged in the Apple site on a laptop before - I have been getting the same message 'Unable to verify iCloud account' every time I try and erase all data and content from my iPhone 4s. When I go to iCloud on my laptop and sign in using my Apple ID it signs me in. These are the same log in details I am prompted for when trying to erase all data/content from the phone.

My iphone 4 is giving problem (insensitive button and poor connectivity, probably antennae problem). I intend to exchange it as it is still under extended warranty.
How can I back-up and erase the data on the phone before surrendering it? I am afraid I will loose data eg from yahoo mail/calendar/contacts, as well as from Evernote, Appbox Pro, Spending app. Currently, I back up the phone through itunes on my PC, and copy photos to my PC using the microsoft camera wizard.
I am presenly going round in circles, not a clue what to look for! I can see my watsapp chat and pictures are stored in icloud, but do not know how to restore them back to my phone as all it keeps doing is the last small amout of backup - not all my history . I have tried deleting watsapp and re-installed, but again it only goes to the same point?? i would like it all back on my phone and not in icloud - what do i do??

So i wanted to get rid of my jailbreak, my phone would crash all the time most of my apps, so i got it to erase all the data and settings, but its taking forever. Should it take so long? After i clicked it, it restarted, then the apple icon came up and a loading bar. About 2 of them pass, then the little loading spiral thingy came up and it goes round, then stops, then goes some more, stops. Then it restarts and does it again.

Does retrieving music and data from iCloud use up the data plan usage? And is there an adapter that will allow me to charge the iPhone with the standard charging cord for Blackberry and Android?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm probably gonna get flamed, but here goes.I have a 32 3GS that I jailbroke with Spirit for 3.1.3. I got my new iP4 and wanted to reset the phone with out getting away from 3.1.3 (so I could rejailbreak super easy for sale). I did "Reset all Data and Settings" under the settings menu. From what I understand, this would erase all music, videos, email accounts, texts, ect and also erase everything from the JB, themes, apps, mods, ect.
Basically reset it back to 3.1.3 stock, without using iTunes.I was under the impression this would take somewhere between 1 - 2 hrs. But the Apple logo and Progress Bar showed up, the Bar filled up after a minute or two and the phone restarted. It then sat at the Apple logo for over 10 minutes before I noticed. I assumed it was "bricked" and attempted to go into DFU mode. When I would hold down the SLeep and Home buttons the Apple Logo would disappear and phone would turn off, but then immediately attempt to restart without me doing anything. So DFU button combo didn't do anything, I also tried Recovery mode to no avail. Is sitting at the Apple Boot Logo forever supposed to be part of this process? Anything else I can do? I am thinking of letting the batt just die completely and recharging it and hoping that will break the endless reboot so I can DFU or Recovery mode the thing.

My one week old e72 came with a scratch under the glass. I have been a bit worried that any pressure on the phone in the future might lead the screen to crack, so to be on the safe side I am having the handset replaced straight away by my mobile network. I am expecting a doorstep exchange in the morning, and they will collect the old phone all boxed up and provide a new sealed e72 in the box.So, I need to delete all my information from the handset and memory card. So far I have formatted the memory card and done a factory reset from the phone menu, then a factory reset as detailed in another thread I found on here (* +3 + call).

My iPhone 4s will not back up due to limited space. I have gone through my emails, there were MANY!!! deleted all unnecessary sent, received, trash etc....the last time my phone back up was may 24th. Apperently what's taking up so much space is my last back up. The phone will still not start the process. My question is, if I delete my old back up to make space, will I loose any newly obtained info? Or any old info?
