that's the only way to do it. what happens is, when you set up your iphone for the first time, you register the device in your name. it is then locked in your name by that version of the IOS system. that's why when you dock your phone to itunes and in the general info window, it tells you it's registered to that particular person. So you need to restore it.
the tip here is as long as you have the files you use backed up in itunes, etc then you're ok, just reload them. if there's info on the phone from the previous owner you want to use, such as previous programs, etc. te best thing is to use a 3rd party app which backs up the files and then has them available for itunes, etc. this is the only official way of doing so. this is what apple have designed this interface for. security. lew On 9 Dec 2011, at 09:39, David Philip Martin Babula Hole wrote: > But I only will change the name, not restore it. > > Sendt fra min iPhone > > Den 9. des. 2011 kl. 10:35 skrev "Mr. L.
