Since I need my information, I will do the following before resetting:

Now I'm ready to perform a hard reset. Before we start, we need to know that immediately after the reset we need a point Wi-Fi access or installed in the computer iTunes program with internet access. Although probably Mobile Internet will do too. Another very important feature for iPhone owners is that they have to have a phone. If you have a locked model, then do not reset. But iPad and iPod touch users have nothing to fear. Here we go.

The first thing you need is a good charge level. battery If you don't have 100% charge, then it's better to connect the iPhone to power.

We put it on charge, now we go to the standard application " Settings", Select the section" The main". Scroll to the very bottom, there is the section " Reset". Here we see the following types of reset:

• Reset all settings
• Erase content and settings
• Reset network settings
• Reset keyboard dictionary
• Reset settings "Home"

Let's analyze the first three types of the most popular faults:

Factory reset Apple iPhone

The very first is "Reset all settings", a very handy thing when you need to reset everything iPhone settings without losing information in the phone.

Press the button Reset all settings, a notification appears:

Are you sure you want to continue? All settings will be reset. Information and media will remain.

If you want to delete everything from iPhone - press the button Erase content and settings, we see a warning:

Are you sure you want to continue? All media files, data and settings will be erased. This action is irreversible.

A couple of times we confirm with the button - " Erase iPhone". The phone turned off and after 2 minutes turned on again, in some cases the reset procedure may take longer, it all depends on the volume.

Important! When buying a used iPhone, always reset with the - Erase Content and Settings button before paying, this will allow you to avoid, in the future, possible.

After turning on the iPhone asked to perform activation, during which we needed the Internet (Wi-Fi or iTunes on a computer with Internet access). During iPhone activation Gossip about something connects to Apple servers. Accordingly, without the Internet, a completely reset iPhone cannot be started. iPhone or iTunes suggested to me: Set up iPhone like new or Restore from backup, I chose the first one. Upon completion of all stages of activation, we get a clean, empty iPhone, where not a trace of the previous owner remains. We tried to find anything in the iPhone, but nothing was left, the "Erase content and settings" button deleted everything.

Any user of Apple products has a registered Apple account ID that allows you to store information about your purchase history, attached payment methods, connected devices, etc. If you no longer plan to use your Apple account, you can delete it.

Below we will consider several ways to delete an Apple ID account, which differ in purpose and execution: the first will allow you to permanently delete your account, the second will help you change Apple data ID, thereby freeing for new registration email address, and the third will delete the account from the Apple device.

Method 1: Remove Apple ID Completely

Please note that after deleting your Apple ID account, you will lose access to all content purchased through that account. Only delete your account when you really need to, for example, if you needed to free the associated email address to re-register your account (although the second method is fine for this).

Apple ID's settings do not provide for an automated process for deleting a profile, so the only way to permanently get rid of your account is to contact Apple support with a similar request.

Method 2: change your Apple ID information

This method is not really deleting, but editing your personal information. IN this case we suggest changing your email address, first name, last name, payment methods for other information not related to you. If you need to free up your email, you just need to edit the email address.

6. On the same page, go down to the block "Safety", near which also select the button "Change".



7. Here you can change your current password and security questions to other ones not related to you.



8. Unfortunately, if you had previously linked a payment method, you cannot completely refuse to specify it - just replace it with an alternative one. In this case, as a way out, you can specify arbitrary information, which will still not be checked by the system until an attempt is made to purchase content through the profile. To do this, in the block "Payment and delivery" change the data to arbitrary. If you did not have previously specified paid information, as it is in our case, then leave everything as it is.



9. Finally, you can unbind the tethered devices from Apple ID. To do this, find the block "Devices" where the linked computers and gadgets will be displayed. Click on one of them to display extra menu and then select the button below "Delete".



10. Confirm your intention to remove the device.

Having completely changed the information about your Apple ID account, consider that you deleted it, since the old email address will be free, which means that you can register a new profile on it, if necessary.
