IPhone :: Remove All Personal Information From The Device?
May 2, 2012
I intend to sell my iPhone and would like to know how to disassociate it from my apple ID and also how to remove all personal information from the device before I transfer it to the new owner.Is resetting it to factory setting helpful? Also, is there a way to protect my privacy before sending the device to the lab for fixing? Or do I need to manually remove all email accounts and personal apps?
I am currently an Altel subscriber, whom is being switched to AT&T. I would like to sell or donate my current blackberry 9630 as it is in new condition. How do I ensure all my data has been removed and it is safe to do so? I checked online and it says to replace your SIMS card, but with what? Wouldn't it have to be carrier specific? But then if I put in an AT&T Sims it would not work, would it? As they are saying we have to have new phones?
How can I remove an icon titled with my email address which looks like an envellope with a small world globe at bottom center? Or at least change the title away from my email address? Verizon service has been discontinued from this phone.
I am trying to understand how I can protect my personal information stored in Outlook Contacts from being stored on my employers enterprise server? The blackberry torch 9800 I have is my personal equipment and I have several email accounts that go to it. However, I'm also on my employers enterprise server and they now have all of my passwords to various websites. Is there anyway to keep specific contacts off an employers enterprise server while still having them appear on the blackberry torch?
When I click Setup, then go to Personal Information. The phone is showing a friend from my address book. How do I change this to Me. I click edit, and it will just let me edit my friends info.
my mum has been on my account and without me knowing put her credit card information onto billing information. Now it is asking for sedurity code and all sorts of things and now i cant sync my phone to my account, i dont want to create a new account because ive got a whole heap of apps and music.
Is it possible to post personal alternate contact information on the main lock/unlock screen in case my phone is misplaced or lost? If my phone is misplaced, people have no options other than to go through the phone and figure out who the owner is. It would be great to have this feature. It would give me peace of mind knowing it's there in case it's found. Most people would try to return it to a store or its rightful owner.
I don't use the Personal Hotspot feature on my iPhone 4S, and don't plan to in the future. I wanted to look at it in the Settings by going to General>Network<Personal Hotspot. However, once I did this, a new Personal Hotspot button has appeared on the main screen in Settings. Before, the first section of the main screen consisted of Airplane Mode, Wi-Fi, Notifications and Location Services. Now, it has Personal Hotspot in between Wi-Fi and Notifications. Is there any way to remove it from the main screen? (since I'm not going to ever use it)
I need to remove my blackberry id so I can reinstate the correct information. My wife and I have the same phone but her ID info is on both phones. How can I achieve this.

I lost my phone and needed to get a replacement. When I did, I started the activation process, but never got prompted to restore from iCloud, just from my last backup in iTunes. I've run the restoration, and the backup was pretty out of date. Is there a way to restore the backup I'd set up in iCloud at this point?
sofware version v4.2.0.64 according to desktop BB that I downloaded recently with my BB device attached at time of download had deleted all information from BB device. After download I was not aware all information was deleted from device, including all numbers. I deleted the old desktop BB which I had some information, Possibly also backup, and the new download cannot find any pics or backup from other desktop BB.
I can not restore information when I plug my device, im keep getting the same information stating that the desktop software stopped. What shall I do? I can not restore information and missing so much data
one change i noticed on the gingerbread was that i now have limited ability to edit contacts. here's the situation:
I got a new number of a person who was already a facebook contact (because of motoblur syncing my facebook to my contacts). But i go to the contact and select edit so i can add the phone number and the phone says "facebook contact information is not editable on this device." i really dont know what to do.
When my wife recently left her job, her company allowed her to keep her 8830 (sprint). How do I "reconfigure" the device for personal use. It won't allow me to update any of the software or override any of the administrator settings. I have backed-up the device to my home PC, and have sync'd her contacts and calendar items to her home Outlook. Ultimately, I'll want to configure for our Google Apps email, contacts and calendar.
I am using a Verizon Tour(9630).I updated my device software to v5.0.0.591.Now,when I lock the keyboard, my owner information does not appear on the home screen. With the previous device software, the owner information would appear. Incidentally, the owner information will appear if I lock (with a password) the device; but I typically do not have the need nor wish to go through the bother of using a password.Is this simply a glitch? Is there a workaround? Or, must we wait for Blackberry to update the software or provide a fix/patch?
I have a jail broken 3.1.2 iphone and want one page. Is there any way to get rid of spotlight without downgrading to 2.x? I looked across the internet and the best I found was a mod to remove the spotlight icon. It is a step in the right direction, but not what I was hoping for.
The IPhone 5 has a Camera Roll, Photo Library and Photo Stream. (What the difference is, and have yet to read an explanation which makes any sense whatsoever to my technologically challenged self.) I want to save photos on my PC but remove them from my IPhone to free up space. So, while I have only a few dozen photos on the Camera Roll, and fewer in the Photo Library, I have hundreds in the photo stream.
I recently upgraded my iphone 4 for an iphone 6 and we decide to let my niece have the old iphone 4 with our account set up so that she can have the apps that we have as well. Now, I am able to deactivate iMessage but I don't want her to "accidentally" turn it on and I noticed that if she were to do it she could select my phone number and start receiving iMessages addressed to my phone number. Is there a way to completely delete/remove my phone number only from that iphone?
