Trying to erase and reset my phone with no luck!

Trying to erase and reset my iPhone 5 s factory for a member of the family can use it.

I'm going to...

Settings > general > reset > erase content and settings

But... He asked my password Apple ID through the next steps. I entered a million times (and reset and added to my new phone which worked well), but this old phone just does not accept the password. So I can't wipe all my stuff or take off my Apple ID.

Help!

It seems you have the Activation active locking iCloud.

You can try signing out iCloud in the settings on the device, and then try the restore.

If this does not work, you can also try to remove device from 'find my iPhone' to iCloud.com

Turn off find my iPhone Activation Lock - Apple Support

If the phone is not listed on the site, it can be locked on a different account.

Have you ever changed your Apple ID? The iPhone is smart enough to recognize when an Apple ID has been changed. If you have changed your Apple ID without signature on iCloud first, this could be the reason why you have trouble to remove the lock.

If you have the original proof of purchase of the device, Apple will be able to remove the lock if the receipt is valid.

I hope this helps!

  • Can I keep my apps after I erase and reset my phone?

    Hello

    I have some problems with my phone and I tried to restore backups and such but no the problem go away.

    So I was wondering if it is possible for me to delete completely and reset my phone and make a new, but still have the same apps I had before.

    As if I bought an app or exchanged for a gift card, I would still be able to access and put them on my new phone, or they are removed with the reset of my phone?

    Thanks for the help.

    Your applications get deleted and removed from the iPhone when you reset the iPhone.

    However, your identifier Apple still holds the apps!  (Assuming that all purchased applications (whatever the price) on the iTunes Store.)

    So once you have configured your iPhone again (with the same Apple ID used to purchase apps), apps can be downloaded to the iPhone.  Use iTunes on your computer or from the App Store on your iPhone and go to "purchased".

    Hello and welcome to the community!

    There is no direct communication channel for you to receive the support of the RIM. Instead, you must work with your carrier because they are responsible for all frontline support to their customers, and only they can case degenerate RIM that they cannot solve. Therefore, the answer to your question is to first speak to your carrier for official support, and if they need climbing to the RIM, they may or may not request the file.

    Good luck!

  • Some of my favorites live reloading is no more, manually or automatically. I tried safe mode and reset Firefox and still have the problem. Repairable?

    I subscribe to 19 Articles in the form of live bookmarks. A few months ago, one of the blogs started not refresh the list of messages. Now a second blog is no longer updated. I tried the dynamic 'Charging bookmark' option (from the book live mark dropdown and since the "Show all bookmarks" menu and it will refresh the list.) If I visit the blog, I get the last commit, but he never shown in the RSS feed. I tried to open Firefox in safe mode to see if the modules are at the origin of the problem and there is no change in the behavior of the stream. I also tried to reset Firefox and it does not work. What else can I try?

    Live bookmarks magically started working again! Had to be something with the blog I was following how I've changed anything recently.

  • Tabs does not. Do not remove the messages. Tried to reinstall AND reset (set only for two days).

    Something hinky (and no, it is not a virus).

    Following an 'Upgrade' of v40, I started to experience problems.

    When I open Thunderbird, it shows my home, not my Inbox tab. If I select my Inbox, the window does not change. By clicking on the "Read Messages" link does nothing. The only way to view my Inbox is right-click on it and choose to display it in a new tab. Then I have to manually switch to this tab.

    Once there, if I select a message and click on delete, the message is * copy * not moved to trash (the message remains open on the screen, while the Trash count rises by 1.) However, if I close Thunderbird, the "deleted" message no longer appears in my Inbox.

    By clicking on the buttons "Write" and "Address book" has no effect. By clicking on 'Options' in the menu 'Tools' doesn't do anything, but clicking on 'Account settings' works very well.

    Reinstall does not help. The data files are likely be corrupted because delete and recreate them solves the problem... but only for a few days. Then I'm right back where I started.

    I have NO add-on (at least, I have not before all the trouble started. I can't confirm now because the ' Add on ' link no longer works) and my PC is virus-free. Thunderbird is the only program behaving oddly.

    I even tried * degradation * Thunderbird to v38.2, but it did not help.

    Any ideas how to solve this problem? THX.

    Quick follow-up.

    It seems that the beta version of v40 corrupt my mail files. After that goes back to v38.2 and recreate my accounts from scratch, the problem has not returned.

  • When I turned on my computer back from the mode 'sleep' this morning, all my fonts and icons on the desktop were very large and I tried to get back them to normal with no luck.

    I tried to create a system restore point, tried to change the resolution, tried the small button of magnification, but nothing works.  It worked fine last night before going to sleep... ideas?

    You can create a Restore Point for yesterday not today.

    It's already done, if you have enabled the restoration of the system.

    Follow the steps below to use one already do the System Restore Point to restore your computer to the settings of yesterday...

    Restore point:

    http://www.howtogeek.com/HOWTO/Windows-Vista/using-Windows-Vista-system-restore/

    Do Safe Mode system restore, if it is impossible to do in Normal Mode.

    Try typing F8 at startup and in the list of Boot selections, select Mode safe using ARROW top to go there > and then press ENTER.

    Try a restore of the system once, to choose a Restore Point prior to your problem...

    Click Start > programs > Accessories > system tools > system restore > choose another time > next > etc.

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    If the above does not fix it:

    Go to the Web site of the manufacturer of your card for laptop / computer graphics / > drivers and downloads Section > key in your model number > looking for the latest graphics drivers for Vista > download/install them.

    Then:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-AU/Windows-Vista/change-screen-resolution

    Change the screen resolution

    Screen resolution refers to the clarity of the text and images on your screen. At higher resolutions, items appear sharper. They appear also smaller, so more items adapted to the screen. At lower resolutions, fewer items adapted to the screen, but they are larger and easier to see. At very low resolutions, however, images may have serrated edges.

    See you soon.
