We filled the phone with various information (games, music, photos, movies), now we will learn how to quickly get rid of all files and settings, returning the device to its original state. Today we will consider reset all information Apple iPhone With iOS 7. But if you have not a phone, but a player iPod touch or Tablet PC iPad, then you can do too full reset using the instructions below.
We will erase all information from the iPhone by means of the phone itself, namely the section - Reset. In addition to completely resetting information, we will consider other types of reset available in the settings of any iPhone, iPod or iPad, which are also useful. The method considered today is not the only one, just as quickly you can erase absolutely everything from the iPhone in another way - using the recovery procedure in iTunes. There is also a third way - remote reset.
To be honest, today's reset I am doing for you, our reader, a lot of information has accumulated in my iPhone, which I do not want to delete at all. In general, I advise you to use a reset or a full reset:
- When your device is about to have a new owner
- After lots of experimentation and testing of thousands of applications
- Reset sometimes we help in case of iOS firmware crashes
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 iTunes installed on your computer 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 are not at 100% charge, then it is 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"
- Reset location warnings
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 all 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.
Confirm the reset with a few more clicks - Reset all settings. The factory reset procedure takes less than a minute and applies everything to the iPhone. initial settings, including among standard applications, alarms are also lost, but applications, music, photos, contacts and videos remain in place. Safari bookmarks and calendar notes are also intact.
Hard reset iPhone content
The second button from the top "Erase content and settings", allows you not only to reset the settings, but also to erase all data from the iPhone or other device. Very useful when selling or donating a used gadget.
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, before paying, always reset with the - Erase Content and Settings button, 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.
Surely you, too, treat your smartphone as a treasure. But unfortunately, you don't look after him properly. The Huffington Post has compiled a list of 11 mistakes in use. We subscribe.
11 mistakes in using iPhone
Ekaterina Bochkareva1. Never turn it off
You should really turn off your phone at least once a week, otherwise the battery will drain faster than necessary. According to experts, the battery deteriorates when we do not use the switched on smartphone. If you use your phone as an alarm clock, consider replacing it with a regular cheap watch, or turn off your iPhone for a while during the day.
2. Leave Wi-Fi and Bluetooth always on
When Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned on on an iPhone, but neither is being used, energy is wasted. In everyday life, you hardly need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth always on. It is better to turn them off and turn them on only when needed.
3. Use it in bad weather
Your iPhone is not designed for extreme high or low temperatures, so you shouldn't use it outdoors when it's below 0 or above 30 degrees Celsius. Because of this, the battery is depleted, and the phone also freezes for a while. If you know in advance that you will have to get out in bad weather, turn off your iPhone, or at least keep it in your pocket, away from the weather.
4. Leave to charge overnight
While it's convenient to leave your iPhone on overnight, some people think it's not a great idea. This topic has generated a lot of controversy. Many agree on one thing: leaving your iPhone turned on after a full charge is harmful. Because of this, over time, the battery deteriorates and the phone discharges faster.
“The battery will perform better if you unplug it from the power source before it reaches 100%. If you leave the phone on a charge when it is fully charged, then the efficiency of the smartphone decreases slightly, ”wrote Gizmodo last year. Try charging it throughout the day to unplug immediately when fully charged. Well, or use a special timer for this.
5. Fully charge or discharge the battery
Lithium-ion batteries - the ones used in iPhones - work best when they're 50 to 80 percent charged, Shane Boesky, founder of Farbe Technik, a battery charging accessory company, told Digital Trends. On the other hand, if the battery is completely discharged, then the battery will fall into a "completely discharged battery state", because of this, the ions will not be able to hold a charge for a long time, Apple representatives note. By recharging the battery at short intervals, the ions in the battery get enough energy to last longer and extend the battery life, he adds. Charging the battery is akin to having a snack and meal breaks throughout the day. Think of it this way.
6. You are using a non-Apple charger
Apple chargers are expensive, but well worth the cost. Using a charger from other brands can negatively affect your phone. According to some reports, counterfeit chargers even cause fires and explosions. So Apple created a program for returning USB charging adapters. According to her, since August 2013, in exchange for fake chargers, users have received a discount on real Apple chargers. (Discounts were valid until August 18, 2013).
7. Don't clean it
Your iPhone looks disgusting. Well, really disgusting. Pets have less germs on toilet seats and on their plates than they do on your iPhone. Apple recommends wiping your gadget with a "soft, lint-free cloth." In addition, devices with ultraviolet radiation are used to disinfect the phone. Remember to clean the charging port. Garbage from pockets and wallets gets stuck there and accumulates, which causes connection problems. Use a toothpick, fine needle, or the sharp end of an earring to remove any dirt.
8. Walking with your phone in hand, not noticing anything
Whether you realize it or not, the iPhone is a valuable black market item and a desirable target for thieves. About 40% of thefts in large cities in 2013 were theft of mobile devices. This was announced last year by the US Federal Communications Commission. Therefore, it is not safe to walk with a phone in your hands, hovering in the clouds.
9. Didn't protect it with a password
Half of iPhone users don't set a lock password on their phones, Apple reported in 2013. If you have not set a passcode on your iPhone, in the event of theft, thieves will have full access to your data and personal information... A password is the easiest way to protect your personal data from intrusions.
10. Give access to your location to all applications in a row
Apps like Maps need "location access" in order to work correctly. However, they usually notify you when you need to enable this feature. Other apps work fine without geolocation. Go to Settings> Privacy> Location Services and deactivate the feature by disabling it in all secondary applications. Your battery will thank you.
11. Allow to use push notifications in each application
Push notifications keep your phone on alert and require a constant data connection, draining your battery. When the phone receives another notification, the display lights up, thereby reducing battery life. The researchers also found that notifications interfere with focus. Go to Settings> Notifications and select only one important app.
