Recovering your account or password to it in iCloud on an iPhone is necessary to gain full access to the device. The iCloud account allowed Apple product users to access their devices and keep them safe. Every owner of an Apple smartphone is required to have such an account and protect their gadget and all the information on it.
Losing your account password is quite serious and time-consuming, so if you have forgotten your password, first try to find all possible options. Thus, perhaps you will select the desired password for your account, but not a fact.

1. What to do first?

2. Recover your password by mail

If the device is lost, then it is not difficult to track its location, since the phone will be displayed in the user’s personal account, in iCloud. Most often, users forget their data or do not know it.

Mail is a universal way to restore access to your profile. To recover the password for this account, you can use the email that was specified during registration and follow the instructions:
- Follow the link https://iforgot.apple.com/password/verify/appleid#!§ion=password – the official resource for resetting your password.

Did you find the letter? Follow the confirmation email to be taken to the page for entering a new password. You must enter your profile access code and confirm it with the “OK” button.

Now you have the opportunity to update the password on your Iphone account.

3. Data recovery service

To contact technical support, the user must submit a request and restore the account: http://www.apple.com/ru/support/.

You may be asked to prove your identity. To do this, you need to send a photo of your passport and your photo next to the iPhone box, so that its serial number is clearly visible.

4. Other ways to restore access to iCloud

All accumulated information will be deleted.

How to reset iPhone:
- Go to the phone settings (gear icon);

But after this, you will still need to recover your iCloud password via email.

Often, the reason why iPhone and iPad begin to perform much worse than usual lies in the lack of free space in the device's memory. If you notice that your device has become “brooding”, often freezes, and involuntarily reboots without a command, then it’s time for “spring cleaning”. It's time to clear the device's memory of extra megabytes, or even GB of software garbage. Agree, manually deleting each application and its files is not professional.

Today I will tell you how to quickly clear your device’s memory completely or partially, as well as how to reset your iPhone to factory settings.

In the settings of the iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad in the “General -> Statistics” menu there is an interesting section - “Storage”. This menu contains information about how much and what the device’s memory is occupied with. Take a look, you might be surprised to learn that even the most seemingly harmless applications, such as social media managers, can store gigabytes of useless data.

Just recently, we were contacted by an iPhone owner who was faced with the problem of insufficient memory. This resulted in the device falling into . Restoring the iPhone was not considered as a solution to the problem, because... The user did not want to lose data from the device. Fortunately, everything ended well, the person still had to restore the iPhone through iTunes, and the information was recovered from the data, the existence of which he did not even know.

This precedent encourages us to always keep the device’s memory “clean,” or at least periodically clear it of information “junk.”

You can clean your iPhone radically, i.e. completely or partially by deleting individual applications and their files. This is quite easy to do in several ways at once.

Ways to clean iPhone

1. Erase content and settings on iPhone.
2. Erase iPhone in iCloud.
3. Removing an application from the desktop.
4. Deleting an application in the iPhone settings in the “Storage” menu.
5. Removing an application from iPhone via iTunes.

The first 3 methods allow you to completely “zero” the device’s memory, as a result of which you will have a “clean” iPhone at your disposal. After cleaning, you will need to set it up again and restore the necessary data from your iTunes or iCloud backup.

The last 3 are classic, allowing you to delete individual applications and all their data manually.

We have already written about restoring the iPhone and that’s enough, I don’t see any point in repeating it. Let's try to erase content and settings on the iPhone and see what the consequences are.

How to erase content and settings on iPhone

This procedure is performed very simply, in just 5 “taps”.

To erase content and settings on your iPhone, you don't need to connect it to a power source, but make sure the battery level is at least 25%. Otherwise, if the battery is completely discharged during the erasing process, you may need to restore the iPhone using iTunes.

!Warning
If you have an iPhone or iPad with a jailbreak (Pangu for example), as a result of erasing content and resetting the settings, the device will enter the “eternal apple mode”, but instead of the Apple logo, a process progress icon will spin on the screen. The iPhone will have to be restored using iTunes.

- Warning -
Please note that the application (program or game) is deleted along with all content. If, for example, you created files in a certain program, such as Pages, and you delete it, all files created in Pages will be permanently deleted. Save files created on your iPhone to cloud storage (iCloud, Dropbox, etc.).

In addition to applications, free space on an iOS device is consumed by photos, videos, music, contacts, notes and other important information. But there is another secret (for many) memory hog - Safari.

Apple's mobile web browser works like any other: when you load a site, it loads its content into temporary storage (cache). This is done in order to speed up the loading of pages when accessing them again.

When you re-access web pages loaded into the cache, the cached data is not downloaded from the servers again, but is retrieved from the cache. On the one hand, this allows you to save on traffic and get web pages to load quickly, on the other hand, you have to put up with the fact that the cache “eats” memory.

So, if you actively use your iPhone or iPad to “surf the Internet,” be prepared for the fact that the Safari cache can take up quite a lot of memory space. This amount depends on how much data the server hosting the site has allowed to be cached. The iPhone owner cannot limit this size; all that remains is to periodically clean it.

Advice: Make it a habit to clear your Safari cache periodically to improve the health of your iPhone and iPad.

How to Clear Safari Cache on iPhone

That's how it really is, it's simple. Now you know how to remove a “problematic” application from an iPhone or completely clear its memory.

iCloud (iCloud) is a very useful cloud i-service that provides users of Apple technology with a lot of opportunities, and the most interesting of them is the option of creating backup copies of information stored on the device. Thus, if the phone is, for example, lost, data can be easily restored using iCloud.com and Apple ID ( a unique account created for users when initially setting up an iPhone).

It is noteworthy that you don’t need to do anything complicated to synchronize data with the cloud - you just need to go to the “Settings” of your iPhone and specify your account in the iCloud menu, as well as select the types of information that should be backed up. Great, right? But! You should always remember - if you decide to sell your Apple, then, as an honest person, you are simply obliged to delete your account in the same menu (however, the reasons why you need to erase iCloud may be different), because if this If you don't do this, you will cause quite a few problems for the new user. However, don’t worry, this procedure will not cause you any trouble, because it is very simple if you remember your account details.

In this material we will tell you how to remove iCloud on iPhone, and also figure out what you can do if you have forgotten your Apple ID password or you don’t know it at all.

So, if you remember your account password, then you won’t have any problems logging out of iCloud, you just need to:

Now, in return for the removed account, the new owner will be able to easily indicate his Apple ID and use the smartphone without any restrictions.

How to delete an account if the password is forgotten?

This situation is more complicated, but it is still solvable. When creating an Apple ID, the user must specify an email address - a link to activate the account is sent to it. This email will become a lifeline, of course, if you still have access to it. To recover your password you will need:

Once the new password is activated, you can sign out of iCloud using the instructions in the first section of this article.

How to delete an account if the password is unknown?

But this is what is called a difficult case. In this situation, very often those users find themselves who purchased a smartphone secondhand, and the seller forgot or deliberately did not log out of the iCloud account. Is it possible to do something without a password? There are chances, but they are few. Let's see what options are available:

Special case: how to delete an iCloud account from an iPhone 5S if the password is unknown?

The first thought that will appear in the head of a person who reads this title must be - why are we talking about the iPhone 5S? Yes, because this smartphone is sold with pre-installed iOS 7, and several versions of the seventh iOS, namely 7.0-7.0.6, have a bug that allows you to remove iCloud without a password by performing a cunning scheme.

Also, the instructions below will help if you have one of the buggy versions installed on your iPhone 4 or iPhone 4S. Initially, these smartphones are released with lower iOS, but they support updates to the seventh version. But with the sixth iPhone (and older “brothers”) the trick will no longer work; iOS 8 is pre-installed on it, and you cannot roll back to an earlier version.

Attention! The instructions below are unofficial, and therefore the author of the article and the portal posting it are not responsible for the success of the operation, as well as its possible sad consequences!

So, to bypass the password, you can try the following:

1. Go to iPhone Settings, then iCloud.
2. At the same time, tap on the “Find iPhone” and “Delete account” items.
3. If you were able to tap at the same time, a window will appear in front of you in which you will be asked to provide a password and confirm the action - at this moment, without confirming or entering anything, you need to long press the smartphone lock button to turn it off and then turn it on again.
4. Once enabled, the iCloud account will be erased.

If this instruction does not work, try a more sophisticated one:

Let's summarize

Well, as you can see, deleting an iCloud account from your phone is a nonsense if you know the parameters of this account or at least set it up yourself. However, in the case when the Apple ID password is forgotten, the situation becomes much more complicated, and sometimes even hopeless. However, we hope that the loophole given in this article will work in your case, and you will be able to use your iPhone without any restrictions.

As you know, in all of its devices and services, Apple uses a unified user identification system, which requires users to log in to perform important actions - purchasing and downloading content, managing confidential data and settings, etc. At the same time, many owners of iOS devices and Macs are often faced with the need to unlink or completely delete their Apple ID.

Why delete your Apple ID?

In fact, under "removing Apple ID" Most users imply that the identifier is unlinked from a specific device. For example, when buying or selling an iPhone or iPad, so that the new owner does not gain access to iMessage correspondence, personal photos, contact list, and in order to avoid problems in the future when using the device directly, you need to unlink the iPhone or iPad from iCloud (delete Apple ID) and disable activation lock (Find iPhone, Activation Lock).

Another common case is the use of content from one account by several users. For example, there is a “corporate” Apple ID for which the necessary set of content has been purchased (applications from the App Store, books in iBooks, subscription, whatever), and ordinary employees at the right time (for example, to install updates) log out of their personal Apple accounts ID and log in under “corporate”.

However, there are also cases when the Apple ID needs to be deleted permanently. The ability to do this without directly contacting Apple technical support has only recently appeared, and at the end of this article we will talk about how to completely destroy all data about yourself stored on the company’s servers.

How to remove an iPhone or iPad from Apple ID in iCloud if the device is in your hands

When you sign out of your Apple ID on your mobile device, iOS will ask you to delete your data, but you can leave some of it (for example, Contacts and Notes) or not delete anything at all, keeping all the content on your gadget. It is important to understand that we are talking only about the information that is stored on the built-in physical drive, while most users additionally synchronize Photos, Contacts, Messages and other data with the iCloud cloud. This allows you to completely erase and unlink your iPhone from your Apple ID, and then easily and quickly restore all content on another device.

1. Open the application Settings and go to the section Apple ID(at the very top, where your first and last name are indicated).

2. At the very bottom, click "Go out";

In the latest versions of iOS, the user is offered three options to sign out of their Apple ID account:

• Sign out of iCloud and Store- complete decoupling of Apple ID from the device;
• Exit from the Store- iCloud synchronization still works; applications from the App Store, for example, can be installed from another account;
• Sign out of iCloud- on the contrary, it leaves the user under the current Apple ID in iTunes (App Store, Apple Music, etc.), but breaks the connection between the device and the cloud service.

3. In the pop-up window that appears, select "Sign out of iCloud and Store", if you need to log out of iCloud (unlink the device) and the services of the App Store, iTunes Store, Apple Music, etc. Or item "Sign out of iCloud", if you only need to unlink the device from iCloud.

4. Enter the password to disable the feature "Find iPhone" and press Off.

5. Now go to menu Settings → General → Reset → Erase content and settings.

6. After entering your password, click "Erase [device]".

After completing the above steps, the iOS device will be removed (unlinked) from iCloud with activation lock turned off (Find iPhone, Activation Lock). Additionally, your iPhone or iPad will be reset to factory settings, erasing all data.

Completely deleting your Apple ID account

There may be several reasons for permanently deleting an Apple ID; most often, this is due to the user’s desire to clear their “history” on Apple servers and create a new account. What will be deleted?

• All personal data about the user is irrecoverable;
• All purchases from iTunes, App Store and other Apple services are permanent;
• All data is from the iCloud cloud service without the possibility of recovery.

To do this, you need to go to a special section of the Apple website dedicated to data privacy, log in using your Aplpe ID and answering security questions, select "Account deletion" and start the process.

There are several simple steps here, such as: indicating the reason for deleting your account, confirming that you have read the terms and conditions of deletion, and entering your email address to receive information about the procedure.

An important point follows - a 12-digit code will be generated, which will remain the user’s only opportunity to confirm his identity if he changes his mind about deleting the account. The procedure itself takes up to seven days, which is required by the support service to confirm the legitimacy of the request, after which the user will receive a notification to the specified E-mail or phone number.
