What happens if you set a date? Factory reset and hard reset of Apple iPhone. Quick ambulance call

We filled the phone with various information (games, music, photos, movies), now we will learn to quickly get rid of all files and settings, returning the device to its original state. Today we will look at reset all Apple iPhone information with iOS 7 firmware. But if you do not have a phone, but an iPod touch player or an iPad tablet computer, then you can also perform a hard reset using the instructions below.

We will erase all information from the iPhone using the phone itself, namely the Reset section. In addition to a complete data reset, we will look at other types of reset available in the settings of any iPhone, iPod or iPad, which can also be useful. The method being discussed today is not the only one; you can just as quickly erase absolutely everything from an iPhone in another way - using the restore procedure in iTunes. There is a third way - remote reset.

To be honest, I’m doing today’s reset for you, our reader, my iPhone has accumulated a lot of information that I don’t want to delete at all. In general, I recommend using a reset or a complete reset:

• When your device is about to get a new owner
• After many experiments and testing thousands of applications
• Resetting sometimes helps with iOS firmware failures

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

Now I'm ready to perform a hard reset. Before we begin, you need to know that immediately after the reset we will need a Wi-Fi access point or iTunes installed on your computer with Internet access. Although mobile Internet will probably work too. Another very important feature specifically for iPhone owners is that the phone must have a . If you have a locked model, do not reset. Well, iPad and iPod touch users have nothing to fear. Here we go.

The first thing you need is a good level of battery charge; if you do not have 100% charge, then it is better to connect your iPhone to power.

We put it on charge, now we go to the standard application “ Settings", select the section " Basic" 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 Home Settings
• Reset location warnings

Let's look at the first three types of the most popular resets:

Reset Apple iPhone

The very first one is “Reset all settings”, a very convenient thing when you need to reset all iPhone settings without losing information on 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 files will remain.

We confirm the reset with a few more clicks – Reset all settings. The reset procedure lasts less than a minute, applies all the original settings to the iPhone, including among standard applications, alarm clocks are also worn out, but applications, music, photos, contacts and videos remain in place. Safari bookmarks and calendar notes also remained intact.

Full iPhone content reset

The second button from the top, “Erase content and settings,” allows you not only to reset settings, but also to erase all data from your iPhone or other device. Very useful when selling or donating a used gadget.

If you want to delete everything from the 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.

We confirm a couple of times with the button – “ Erase iPhone". The phone turned off and turned on again after 2 minutes, 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 using the button - Erase content and settings, this will allow you to avoid possible problems in the future.

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 activation, the iPhone gossips about something and connects to Apple servers. Accordingly, without the Internet, a completely reset iPhone cannot be started. iPhone or iTunes offered me: Set up iPhone like new or Restore from backup, I chose the first one. Upon completion of all stages of activation, we receive a clean, empty iPhone, with not a trace of the previous owner left. We tried to find at least something in the iPhone, but there was nothing left; the “Erase content and settings” button deleted everything.

1. Taking pictures without using the touch screen

Just call Siri with a long touch on the Home button and ask her to turn on the camera. To take a photo, press any volume button on your smartphone or headphones.

2. Emergency reboot

In those rare cases when the iPhone freezes or you need to free up the device's RAM, an emergency reboot will help. Just hold down the Home button and the Lock button for 10 seconds.

3. Triple press the Home button

Go to the "Accessibility" item in the main iPhone settings. Scroll down to the “Keyboard Shortcuts” tab - a list of functions will open in front of you. Triple-clicking the Home button launches VoiceOver, color inversion (useful for reading), some display settings, on-screen zoom, and Switch Control or AssistiveTouch.

To turn on the magnifying glass by triple-clicking the Home button, simply select the appropriate item in “Universal Access.”

4. Double tap the Home button sensor

Perhaps all iPhone users know that double-clicking the mechanical Home button opens the application selection window. But not everyone is aware that double tapping the button sensor “lowers” ​​the screen a little, allowing owners of large smartphones to easily reach the top icons.

5. Using 3D Touch

If you have an iPhone 6s or later, using 3D Touch can make your life a lot easier and save time. This technology will speed up movement between applications, make typing more convenient and...

6. Reassigning volume buttons

The iPhone has two volume settings: the first is for calls and notifications, the second is for music and applications. Turning off the “Change with buttons” toggle switch in the sound settings will fix the ringer volume in its current position and transfer control of music and applications exclusively to the side buttons.

Work with text

7. Undo last action

Just shake your smartphone, and iOS will offer to undo the last action, be it typing, inserting or, conversely, deleting text.

8. Quickly enter a domain

In cases where the keyboard prompts you to quickly enter domain.com, hold your finger on this button. A list of popular domains will open in front of you, where you can quickly switch to cherished.ru.

9. Removing the microphone icon from the keyboard

The microphone icon between the space bar and the language change button is intended for voice text input. You can remove the icon by moving the “Enable dictation” slider to the inactive position in the keyboard settings.

10. Listening to the text

iOS supports Screen Speak. To enable it, activate the slider in the speech settings: “Settings” → “General” → “Universal Access”. To have iPhone speak text on the screen, swipe down with two fingers in any app.

Safety

11. Create a letter password for unlocking

If you don't trust four- or six-digit passwords and don't like Touch ID technology, you can set a long one.

Go to the password code settings and select “Change password code”. The system will require you to enter the old combination first, and then the new one. On the screen for entering a new password, click on “Passcode Options” and select an acceptable option.

12. Improve Touch ID accuracy

To help iPhone recognize you more confidently and quickly, create multiple prints of the same finger.

13. Create hidden photos

If you take photos in the standard camera application, they will be saved in the library. To protect a photo with a password, you need to resort to a trick. Turn off photo export and set a password in the Notes app settings. To take a secret photo, go to create a new note and tap on the camera icon. Once the photo is taken, click on "Export" and select "Lock Note."

14. Guided access

We often give our smartphone into the wrong hands to “pass a level in a game,” “read an article,” or “watch a video on YouTube.” If you don't trust who will be using your iPhone, turn on Guided Access in Settings: General → Accessibility → Guided Access.

When handing over an iPhone to someone, triple-click the Home button to turn on Guided Access, and the person will only be able to use the open app.

Siri

15. “Whose iPhone is this?”

If you find a lost iPhone, Siri can help you contact its owner without entering a password. Ask her “Whose iPhone is this?” or “Who owns this iPhone?”, and a window will open in front of you with the name of the owner of the gadget.

So that the person who finds your iPhone can find you in this way, go to Siri settings and in the “Data” tab, assign a contact with information about yourself.

16. Siri male voice

Not everyone knows, but our faithful electronic assistant can speak in a pleasant male voice. This option is available in Siri settings.

Calls

17. Calling the last number dialed

To repeat the last call, it is not necessary to go to the “Recent” tab. Click on the green handset on the screen with keys, and the iPhone will offer to call back the last number dialed.

18. Quick access to favorite contacts

To quickly dial important numbers, add them to the Favorites tab in the standard Phone application. Swipe right on the desktop to go to the widget panel. Scroll down and click “Edit”, and then tap on the plus sign next to the “Favorites” widget. Now you can call your loved ones faster and even when the screen is locked.

19. Detection of an incoming call in headphones

Answering calls using headphones is sometimes much easier than reaching for your phone. To find out who is calling you without taking your iPhone out of your pocket, turn on the “Call Announcements” toggle switch in your phone settings.

Messages

20. Deleting old messages

Deleting irrelevant messages will help bring order to your correspondence and free up precious megabytes of memory. Find the “Leave messages” item in the settings and set the required time after which the messages will be deleted.

21. Saving traffic in “Messages”

To avoid wasting traffic on heavy attachments, turn on low quality mode in your message settings.

22. Time of sending messages

One of the non-obvious functions of “Messages” is viewing the exact time of sending. Just swipe from the right side of the screen.

Alarm

23. Setting up a call from Apple Music

The ability to set your favorite song as an alarm is not a trick, but a basic iPhone feature that many people don't know about. When creating a new alarm, click on the Sound tab. Rewind the list to the very beginning, before the standard ringtones, find a panel with familiar names and click on “Select song”.

24. Snooze alarm

To reschedule the alarm to a later time, you don’t have to look for the corresponding button on the screen. Press any side button and iPhone wakes you up again in nine minutes.

This interval was not chosen by chance: old mechanical alarm clocks could not count exactly 600 seconds. They did not take into account the current minute and began counting nine minutes from the next one.

Safari

25. Search by word on a page

Enter the desired word in the address bar. In the drop-down menu under the search engine suggestions, select “On this page.”

26. Recently closed tabs

Go to the screen that shows previews of open pages and hold your finger on the “+” button. A list of recently closed tabs will open in front of you. This is useful if you accidentally closed a long-open page that is difficult to find in your browser history.

27. Convert a Safari page to a PDF file

28. Opening links in the background

Other basic applications and services

29. Spotlight as a converter

Swiping down on any iPhone screen opens Spotlight. Its use significantly reduces the time spent searching for something on a smartphone. Spotlight provides results from many applications: it will help you find the desired episode of a podcast, a message by keyword, or a person on Twitter. Also, a standard search engine can act as a converter. Just search for "1 usd" or "15 inches in cm".

30. Convert slow motion video to regular video

If you've been playing around with the slow motion feature and accidentally shot something in slow motion that would look better at natural speed, it's easy to bring the video to the original tempo without additional applications. Open the video editing section and adjust the values ​​on the speed bar. This strip is located above the timing field, where we usually cut the videos.

Level 31

The compass in the basic application is practically useless in the city. But if you swipe the screen to the left, you can get a level - an indispensable device for repair and installation.

32. Optimizing Apple Music storage

Turn on Storage Optimization in Music Settings and iPhone will automatically delete songs you rarely listen to. This will only happen when the device’s memory runs out.

To set the minimum amount of music that will not be deleted from iPhone, you can set the storage size.

33. Geolocation reminders

Task managers in the App Store offer a lot of functions, but standard “Reminders” are also capable of a lot. For example, a basic application can remind you to buy milk not only at 15:00, but also when you visit the store. To enable this function, select “Remind me by location” and find the desired geolocation in the task settings.

Battery

34. Turn on power saving mode

If your iPhone has more than 20% charge left, but the nearest outlet is still very far away, it makes sense to switch to power saving mode. To enable the mode, just ask Siri about it or find the corresponding item in the battery settings. In these settings, you can also find a list of the most energy-consuming applications and close them in a timely manner.

35. Silent charging connection

You can avoid vibration when connecting the charger to your iPhone by opening the Camera app before connecting the Lightning cable. The device will begin to charge, and your light-sleeping relatives will not be awakened by a sudden sound.

The iPhone, like any complex piece of technology, has many hidden functions, many of which are very useful. Here is a selection of life hacks.

1. Unlock your phone with your nose

Using a smartphone in winter is not very convenient. Even if you have gloves that transmit touch to the screen, in order to turn on the phone, you must either enter the password each time or take off your gloves. But there is another way. In the TouchID system settings, select “add a fingerprint” and place your nose instead of your finger. In the cold, your nose sticks out anyway, so bringing the phone to your nose is easier than taking off your gloves.

2. Turn your phone over so it can move away from you

When you're working, your iPhone screen constantly lighting up can be very distracting. There’s a retweet here, there’s a news story, there’s a channel update. Even if notifications come without sound or vibration, your phone is constantly blinking somewhere in your field of view. If you flip it upside down, your phone will only vibrate for the most important alerts. And if you have iOS 9 (or higher) installed, the proximity sensor will also tell the phone that the screen does not need to be turned on again. And this way you can save battery power surprisingly significantly.

3. Fall asleep faster in the evening

Starting with iOS 9.3, iPhones iPhone 5S and newer introduced the Night Shift feature. This is a mode that changes the color of the screen depending on the time of day. The darker it is outside, the fewer cold colors and the more warm ones. If you are on your phone in the evening on social networks, the bright light of the screen prevents you from falling asleep - it interferes with the production of melatonin, the sleep hormone. With Night Shift enabled, this effect is reduced. You can enable the mode in the screen settings, and when the sun sets, the screen will gradually change color.

4. Play music or podcasts quickly

When you connect headphones to your phone or insert a USB cable that is connected to your car, an icon for the last application you actively used with headphones appears on the lock screen in the lower left corner - music, podcasts, YouTube. Very convenient for quick startup. The same thing will happen if you double-click the home button - the icon will be at the bottom, under the carousel of open applications.

5. Close apps quickly

If you like to close apps to prevent them from draining your battery, we will disappoint you. This action is quite pointless, alas. When the application is running in the background, it consumes almost no battery. But this way you can free up some RAM. Well, some people are simply calmer when everything is closed. In any case, this can be done more efficiently. If you swipe across the screen with three fingers rather than one, you can close applications three times faster, since the iPhone screen is able to track more than one touch at a time.

6. Photograph discreetly

There are two ways to secretly take a photo. First, press any volume button on your phone, this works like a shutter. But all the same, if you twirl the phone in your hands and press a button, someone will notice. If you have headphones with volume buttons (it is important that they work; some headphones have buttons, but they do not change the volume on an iPhone), you can take a photo and pretend that you are adjusting the headphones. We hope you will not use this knowledge for evil.

7. Calculate sines and cosines

If you open the calculator and turn the iPhone into landscape mode, that is, on its side, a regular calculator turns into a logarithmic one, and you can carry out more complex calculations.

8. Check if the painting is hanging straight

Every iPhone since the 3GS came out has a compass. But besides this, modern smartphones are stuffed with other sensors. Among other things, there is an accelerometer and a gyroscope. These sensors allow you to use your iPhone as a level and check the evenness of any surface. Open the Compass app, swipe left, and touch your phone to whatever you're checking for levelness.

9. Get a new phone to replace the dead one

There are many ways to break an iPhone. But if you give your iPhone for the first repair that comes along, the warranty will be void. And the main thing you deprive yourself of when you do repairs from an uncertified specialist is the opportunity to replace your phone. If you yourself broke your phone, drowned it, or burned it, you can request a paid replacement for a new one at a certified repair center. To do this, it is necessary that the phone was officially purchased, less than two years have passed since the date of purchase, and that the phone has not been opened with a screwdriver. Most likely it will be more expensive than repairs, but you will have a completely new device.

10. Turn off your phone, even if your button is broken

On iPhones, the on/off button sometimes breaks. Models 4 and 4S were especially guilty of this. Almost all iPhones of that generation no longer have these buttons. But there is a trick. There is an Assistive Touch mode in the settings - for people with disabilities. This button appears on the screen, and with its help, almost all functions of the phone can be adjusted with one hand. Including, there is a “lock screen” button. This could save you from thousands of messages and calls dialed by your butt because the button doesn't work.

11. Recover accidentally deleted text

If you made a typo, pasted text into the wrong document, or erased what you were going to copy, the iPhone has a way to undo the last action with the text. To do this, you need to shake the phone. A window will appear asking whether you want to cancel this action or not. This feature is rarely needed, but when it is needed, it is needed very badly. Just remember, if you made a mistake with the text, shake your phone.

Processing . . .

Steve Jobs, unlike most of his colleagues in the shop, was neither a programmer nor an engineer, which is why we see key Apple devices as they are - simple and convenient for the average user. However, when purchasing their first Apple device, most people still have some questions.

In this material, we focus on the primary setup and preparation of the iPhone for use, without touching on various nuances related to hardware, jailbreak, iCloud cloud service, etc. Probably, the list of actions below will allow beginners to avoid annoying (but correctable) mistakes.

Check if you bought a new iPhone

You need to buy an iPhone in Apple Stores, Apple online stores, or from official resellers (you can find them). In this case, you should definitely save the sales receipt or receipt, which will avoid many problems in the future.

However, we do not live in an ideal world; most people still prefer to save money. In the case of the iPhone, this may be buying a “gray” (imported bypassing customs), used or refurbished device. In all three cases, you can buy a smartphone relatively cheaply, indistinguishable from the one on display at the Apple Store, but there is also a risk of a bad purchase. We have repeatedly talked about the nuances of choosing and purchasing an iPhone in our materials:

How to activate and set up iPhone

When you turn on your iPhone for the first time, the device must go through activation on Apple servers and initial user setup. This process should not cause any difficulties, but we will still describe it in as much detail as possible.

• Insert a working SIM card into your iPhone. The “paper clip” for removing the SIM card is located in the box (on the inside of the cardboard); if you don’t have a proprietary tool, you can use a paper clip, pin or needle;

• On the Welcome screen, swipe " Set up" from left to right;
• Choose language;

• Indicate your region of residence;
• Connect to an existing Wi-Fi point (if you don’t have one, to activate your iPhone you will have to connect it to a computer with Internet access and the iTunes application installed);
• If desired, enable location services (you can later disable them in the settings);

• Enter your fingerprints into the Touch ID memory to later use the scanner to log in to various services, purchase applications, unlock your iPhone, etc.;
• Set a digital screen unlock password (in the parameters you can select the number of characters - 4 or 6);

• Sync data from iTunes/iCloud backups or use a tool to export it from your Android device. If there is no such need, select “Set up as a new iPhone”;

• Enter your Apple ID and password. If you don't already have an Apple ID and don't plan on making iTunes purchases anytime soon, DO NOT SIGN UP FOR IT ON THIS SCREEN! Consistently press " No Apple ID or forgot it", and then " Configure later in Settings" And " Do not use". Create an Apple ID without linking it to a credit card (described in the next paragraph of this article);

• Accept Apple's terms and conditions;

• Activate the Siri virtual assistant or select " Turn on later«;

ON THIS TOPIC:

• If desired, submit a diagnostic report to Apple;

• Select the display mode of interface elements according to your vision and preferences;

• The activation and configuration process is completed, you can start working.

How to create an Apple ID

The difference between Apple and many ecosystems is the clear linking of devices, rights, subscriptions, content and services to a specific user. That is, almost all actions (reflashing a smartphone, installing applications, changing critical settings, etc.) are performed not by the abstract “Ivan Ivanov”, but by a very specific person who is assigned a special identifier - Apple ID. Therefore, you must approach the creation of an appropriate account responsibly - use a trusted email address, come up with and remember a complex password, and be sure to save it. In addition to protective properties, various bumpers, cases, covers and films can also expand the functionality of the device.

Extending battery life

Users have been waiting for innovative power supplies for mobile devices for many, many years, but lithium-ion batteries are still the most effective option in terms of price/quality ratio. However, despite all their advantages, such batteries have a very limited resource - if the iPhone is handled correctly, the battery capacity will decrease by about 20% after 500 charging cycles, otherwise by 50%.

Surely you also treat your smartphone as a treasure. But unfortunately, you don’t take care of it properly. Huffington Post journalists compiled a list of 11 usage errors. Subscribe.

11 mistakes in using iPhone

1. Never turn it off

You really should turn off your phone at least once a week, otherwise the battery will drain faster than it should. According to experts, the battery deteriorates when we do not use the smartphone while it is on. If you use your phone as an alarm clock, consider replacing it with a regular cheap watch, or turn off your iPhone for periods of time during the day.

2. Leave Wi-Fi and Bluetooth always on

When both Wi-Fi and Bluetooth are turned on on your iPhone, but neither is used, energy is wasted. In everyday life, you probably don't need Wi-Fi and Bluetooth always on. It's better to turn them off and turn them on only when necessary.

3. Use it in bad weather

Your iPhone is not designed to withstand extremely hot or cold temperatures, so you shouldn't use it outside when it's below 0 degrees Celsius 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 go out in bad weather, turn off your iPhone or at least keep it in your pocket, away from the weather.

4. Leave it to charge overnight

While it's convenient to leave your iPhone charging overnight, some people think it's not the best idea. This topic has caused a lot of controversy. Many people agree on one thing: leaving the iPhone on after it's fully charged is harmful. Because of this, the battery deteriorates over time and the phone runs out faster.

“The battery will perform better if you disconnect it from the power source before it reaches 100%. Leaving your phone on the charger when it's already fully charged will reduce the performance of your smartphone slightly,” wrote Gizmodo last year. Try charging it throughout the day so it turns off immediately when fully charged. Well, or use a special timer for this.

5. Fully charge or discharge the battery

Lithium-ion batteries—the kind used in iPhones—work best when they're charged between 50 and 80 percent, Shane Broeski, founder of Farbe Technik, a battery-charging accessory company, told Digital Trends. On the other hand, if the battery is completely discharged, the battery will enter a “fully discharged state”, because of which the ions will not be able to hold a charge for long, Apple representatives note. By recharging the battery at short intervals, the battery ions receive enough energy to operate for a long time and increase its lifespan, he adds. Charging the battery is akin to having snacks and meal breaks throughout the day. Think of it this way.

6. You are not using an Apple charger

Apple chargers are expensive, but they're worth the expense. Using chargers from other brands may have negative effects on your phone. According to some reports, counterfeit chargers even cause fires and explosions. That's why Apple created a return program for USB charging adapters. According to it, since August 2013, in exchange for fake chargers, users received a discount on real Apple chargers. (Discounts were valid until August 18, 2013).

7. Don't clean it

Your iPhone looks disgusting. Well, it's really disgusting. There are fewer germs on your pet's toilet seats and dishes than on your iPhone. Apple recommends wiping your device with a “soft, lint-free cloth.” In addition, devices with ultraviolet radiation are used to disinfect the phone. Don't forget to clean the charging port. This is where debris from pockets and wallets gets stuck and accumulates, causing connection problems. Use a toothpick, a thin needle, or the sharp end of an earring to remove dirt from there.

8. You walk around with your phone in your hands without noticing anything.

Whether you realize it or not, the iPhone is a valuable item on the black market and a desirable target for thieves. About 40% of thefts in large cities in 2013 were thefts of mobile devices. The American Federal Communications Commission reported this last year. Therefore, it is not safe to walk with your phone in your hands, with your head in the clouds.

9. They 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 haven't set a passcode on your iPhone, if it's stolen, thieves will have full access to your data and personal information. A password is the easiest way to protect personal data from intruders.

10. Give access to your location to all applications in a row

Apps like Maps need "location access" in order to function correctly. However, they usually notify you when you need to enable this feature. Other applications work fine without geolocation. Go to Settings > Privacy > Location Services and deactivate the feature by disabling it in all non-essential applications. Your battery will thank you.

11. Allow push notifications in every application

Push notifications keep your phone on high alert and require a constant data connection, draining your battery. When the phone receives another notification, the display lights up, thereby reducing battery life. Researchers also found that notifications make it difficult to concentrate. Go to Settings > Notifications and select only one important app.
