Apple has erased my iPhone!

I have an iPhone 4 (iOS 7.x) and recently I bought an iPhone SE.

Shortly after to transfer my data on the new iPhone, Apple locked my Apple ID and forced me to change (what on Earth for?) I've been hacked? It would be good to Apple actually give a reason!).

I turned on my old iPhone (without SIM card) to play music, and about a minute later, it was remotely WIPED and returned to factory default. I discovered since that this is probably a feature that is automatically enabled in find my Iphone.

This is totally unacceptable. I never asked this phone deleted. Now I have to start over again! What I now worry that my other migt deleted if devices I change my Apple ID even once?

Apple does not erase your iPhone.

Not sure why you think this.  Most of what you say does not sound at all correct.

Please explain your problem in detail

  • Why should I erase my iphone if I don't remember my password

    so my sister iPhone is craked up to the point where nothing appears on the screen, we strive to save on iTunes, so tried to contact IDs but it would not go well, but my main thing is why do we not have to erase everything on your phone by getting no not his access code. My sister iPhone is disabled and we have good pictures on his iphone and apple say erase the iPhone, it's frustrating.

    Generally, we are unable to answer 'why' questions on these forums.  The terms of use forbid us to speculate on why Apple does not does not specific measures.

    But I can tell you that I strongly agree with this particular concept.  My data is password protected.  If someone does not know this password, I would not like their access to my data.

    About these photos, if they are important, you need to have saved them before a disaster strikes.  After that disaster, it is too late to perform a backup.  Similarly, you can wait until after a serious car accident to decide that it's time to buy auto insurance and a covered accident.

    I say all this hoping that it is a lesson for the next time.

    So I got a new iPhone 7... Now, I can't seem to pair my Apple Watch for the new iPhone 7... For any help or suggestion... Thank you all in advance

    Hello

    Your iPhone 6 is no longer functions, follow these steps:

    • On your watch, go to: homescreen (via a simple press on the digital Crown) > (cog icon) settings > general > reset > erase content and settings.

    You can then associate your Apple Watch to your iPhone via the standard setting process (including the option to restore from backup, if your iPhone has been restored from a backup of your old):

  • sync iTunes wants to erase my iphone

    I know this is asked very often - but looking at responses I'm not sure of the exact situation that I am.

    The situation:

    A library itune on windows 10, itune version 12.4.1.6 - all iphones are 6 or 6plus on the latest ios created with a camera that was on Apple ID "A".

    1 iPhone (6) with the apple ID has been used to create and synchronize with this itune library. It still works.

    IPhone 2 (a 6 +) started with the apple A ID and I remember well sync was working (but I'm not sure)

    Then 2 Iphone replaced by apple ID B appelid

    There's a family shares Apple ID B ID apple has.

    < some time pass >

    now when you try to sync, itunes considers the iphone 2 was not synchronized to the library on the computer and ask to erase everything. It's my wifes iphone, so I don't want to compromise my weding on itune behavior

    My questions:

    1 / How can I be sure of the origin of "synchronize with the new library" iphone2 plugged. And this might be impossible - but in case an investigation is possible I am ready to dig it.

    2 / then what would be the best approach to get "iphone2/appleid 2" sync with this library providing I lack nothing that could have been purchased on ' iphone 2' or the recovery of as magically the lost link (Finally I can always dream, but who knows before you ask...) "."

    Thank you very much for any pointer - and maybe this is very well known. In this case sorry for pushing an open door.

    Best regards

    Sébastien.

  • If I turned on the lost mode and erased my iphone, password to unlock will be disabled?

    I lost my iphone. If I turned on the lost mode and erased my iphone, password to unlock will be disabled?

    There will be no access code, but also no data on the phone, so it's okay.  Cannot use the phone until it is activated, which will require your password Apple ID.

    You can receive text messages saying that the phone has been found and asking you to verify your Apple ID, or to connect to a Web site with password Apple ID.  These are fake, just try to get your password to activate the phone stolen.

    Do not remove the phone from the list of devices in iCloud.com

  • I think I received a text of scam, to say that my ID Apple has been locked and offering a link to fix the problem.  Has anyone received it?

    Today I got a text from a mobile phone no, informing me that my ID Apple has been locked.  I did not answer or clicking on the link sent in the message, because I suspect that it's maybe a scam.

    I was able to connect to Apple in order to send this message, which proves that the text is not authentic. I just want to warn others.

    Hello

    Clicking on the link, you have made the right choice.

    You can report the message to Apple by following the steps detailed here:

  • question about erasing an iPhone via iPhone Find

    small question

    so, recently I had to erase an iPhone via iPhone Find

    If I had to re-activate and connect to my iCloud origin, I would receive my messages waiting? Let's say I deleted it and I had a lot of invisible messages, are lost because they have already been delivered and they were already on the phone when it has been deleted? I guess that this is the case, but what does that mean for messages sent to me while my phone was in limbo deleted? I would receive them as soon as I connected to iCloud/implement the new iPhone and restored? I'm not in a position where I can do at the moment and I am very curious

    I have a 6 s and my provider is T-Mobile

    No, you will not receive messages that have been sent when the phone was erased.
