Getting a new Iphone
I am moving from the 5C to the new 6S. I want to give away my 5C. How do I get all my stuff off the phone, like find my phone and other personal stuff?
Is it easy to set up the new phone. I have backed up my old phone to Itunes |

If you have iCloud backup turned on it should be backed up there.
Just do a manual backup before wiping it. To be sure though (and if you only have the free 5GB of storage in iCloud and the photos won't fit for example) plug it into a PC or Mac running iTunes and do a backup to that. That will backup everything including all the photos. Backup to either one will backup all personal settings, wifi networks email accounts and content (POP3) and all app content (all entered data in an accounts app for example or the local notes in the notes app). When you have the backup done just go to Settings/General/Reset and select Erase all content and settings. This will return the iPhone to it's factory state. |

"Erase all content" will insist that you disconnect the 5C from iCloud before it will work. After it has completed the 5C will be in a fully wiped state and ready for sale. |

Turn off find my iPad / iPhone Log out of iTunes Log out of iCloud Log out of Spotify Remove from my Apple devices Delete iCloud account |

BKM is correct. probably better to use iTunes. It's safer and a lot quicker (unless you have 100Meg broadband).
Also the point about making it encrypted is something i forgot. Saves a lot of faffing about with passwords. |
