I've upgraded to an i-phone 5s from an i-phone 4. I'm trying to pass the phone to my wife but when I try "Erase all content and settings" I keep getting asked for a code !!! I don't have the code, now what ?
iPhone 4, iOS 7.0.4
Connect it to iTunes and restore.
If you are using Find My iPhone you can sign into iCloud.com from a web browser on your computer and wipe it.
appreciate the response, thanks! maybe I shud have said........I have set up my 5S and I'm also worried I remove / delete all info on the 5S now. Is that possible?
I have backed up the 4 on iTunes on my PC. I don't want to lose my contacts.
Once in icloud, where to then?
Erase Content & Settings from your old phone will have no effect on your other devices.
If you are uncomfortable, disconnect from iCloud on the iPhone 4 first.
Settings > iCloud > Turn off Find My iPhone if it is on then Delete Account > Delete > when prompted, tap Delete from My iPhone
Once in icloud, where to then?
You can access your Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders & Notes synced with iCloud from iCloud.com with a web browser on your computer.
All your changes are uploaded to iCloud then pushed to all your devices. If you delete a contact from one of your devices or iCloud.com, it is deleted everywhere.
