@@joshuataninecz8365 hey, I’m assuming you’ve solved this problem and I’ve got the same problem, I’ve got a ps5 and want to sell my ps4 can I just do what this guy did in the video and still have everything on my ps5?
Short and sweet. I've been handed down a decent gaming PC so I am trading my PS4 to make up some money to buy additional parts. Planning to upgrade motherboard and CPU.
OMG I LOOKED AT MY SAVED VIDEOS AND FOUND THIS VIDEO THERE. I USED TO WATCH YOU SO MUCH BECAISE I LOVED YOU AS A PERSON I DONT KNOW WHY I EVER FORGOT ABOUT YOU. JIMI IF YOURE READING THIS KEEP BEING YOU AND HAPPY, YOU ARE AMAZING AND MANY LOVE YOU AND SUPPORT YOU❤️❤️
Fantastic videos. Thanks so much. My old PS4 died recently and I’ve used loads of these videos to help me set up my new one and deactivate and wipe my old one. Thanks again.
Probably the most helpful video for resetting the PS4. I didn’t know you had to deactivate the account prior to initializing. No other video I viewed told me this. Your the best, thanks!
@@mando8000 I'm just about to sell my ps4 and have done the full initalization but my account is still primary on it. Should I log on before I sell it and do it again?
@@Jamie-ux8sk sorry I'm not too sure what this video was about again it's been awhile but if you didn't deactivate your account then yes log on then deactivate your account
Pretty sure that by doing a full initialization it automatically deactivates the accounts too. That said, great video man. Thanks for helping people out.
9:43 That screen is also called the OoBE or Out of Box Experience. It only appears after you first unbox it or after resetting settings or wiping everything.
At first it was something I didn't want to hear but after a few seconds it actually is a big help : ) thanks this is what I was looking to get(wipe PS4 )
Thanks for that mate I'm such a dumbass when it comes to technical stuff! and you have really made it simple for me easy to do and straightforward thank you so much!
can you activate other account instead because i cant reach my main account becuse i got banned and then still use your main account on your other ps4?
Wait so if i have ps plus all i gotta do is save it to “online storage” and then wipe my ps4 and im good to sell my ps4 and if i get a new playstation i can just add back all my data and all my games will be there as if it was the same ps4 right? Pls correct me, thank u!
Great video, very informative and helped me successfully wipe my old original ps4 after getting a ps4 pro. However the way you grabbed the disc touching the underside 😅🤣😭😵
As long as you don't grab the bottom with your FINGER NAILS (😳😱), it should be fine with just finger prints. If not, I just clean and dry mine with a wet wipe.
So glad I found this video. I just set up my PS5 and have no reason to keep my PS4 Pro. Rather than letting it sit in its box, I figure I can sell it. Update: It took 4.5 hours.
I have two ps4s and I'm selling one of them, both have the same accounts so if I do factory reset on the one im selling, will the accounts on the other ps4 be effected in any way??
hey.. i copy save data from my old ps4 onto usb drive and then transfer it to my new ps4 pro just like you show in the video.. but when i install the game and download all the dlc's back.. somehow its not working.. i cant load my save file in the game as it says "save file cannot be load as installation is still in progress" when all the dlc's and the games is fully update and already install.. now i cant play my games that i have play about 200 hrs..
Nabil Fikri you probably need to set the new ps4 as your primary console and change the old one to your secondary console..After that all of your dlc stuff should download
How do u make ur new ps4 ur primary? I sold my ps4 over a yr ago n just got a new one. on my new ps4 I loaded my old gamer tag, but it won’t hook to PSN. Have no idea what to do so I’m thinking tht might be the prob
Your PSN account should automatically be deactivated from the system when you initialize the PS4. But you might as well do it in the account settings beforehand, just to be sure! :)
Does this work with a regular ps4 and does it delete games that ive bought from the PlayStation store or when I get my new PlayStation and log in too my psn I will get it pls respond it’s very important
What about online games? Does the data save automatically and you’re good to go on a new console? I recently got a ps5 and want to sell my PS4 pro. I want to wipe it but want to make sure I don’t somehow lose my online game data (games like Apex and Fortnite). Any help is appreciated, thank you in advance
Idk if you still want this knowledge as this was a few months ago but i bought one from someone who didnt and basically theyre account was still there and if they had a credit card in their PSN store i wouldve been able to use it and such, i didnt check though and just deleted their account as im nice but yeah. Its REALLLYYYYY fucking important to "delete" your account
hey i was wondering if i would get a ps5 ad i used to have a ps4 pro if i just logged into my psn accout on the new ps5 would i still have all my games and data
hi, i did the first step of deactivating your account on the primary console but i have 3 users so will they all be wiped after i finish initializing the ps4? pls help
I’m hoping mine takes 5 minutes 😂 I don’t have a lot on there cuz I got it a week ago and I’m buying a brand new one and returning the pre owned one I got 😂
Thank you so much for this you explain it so well :) I am thinking of doing this because my PS4 keeps turning itself off, I'm concerned that while it is deleting the data it may turn itself off before it can complete it as it will take hours. Sometimes my Pd4 will turn itself off after only five minutes. Do you know if that will affect deleting the data? Also do you know of ways to fix this without the factory reset?
Really need a time stamp here, skip to 5:11 Your Welcome

Super useful video, I started from 6 mins in to switch to a PS5 (AFTER I'd done the data transfer to the PS5). Good shout about ejecting the disk!

Pretty sure that by doing a full initialization it automatically deactivates the accounts too. That said, great video man. Thanks for helping people out.

Reset your PS4 (from 6:56 to 8:11) : Go to Settings / Initialisation / Initialise PS4 / Full (and wait aprox 2 hours to complete the Reset).

john mamuzich somehow need to get your account to forget the original ps4 im not sure call sony.
john mamuzich a friend of me said you can do it via the playstation site and i know you can also do it via the settings menu
So after doing all of this if you get a different PlayStation can you connect ur account to the new ps4 ?
Brilliant video! thank you for taking the time to make this. Saved me a lot of time and stress :)
very timely since i got my ps5
What if you don't deactivate your psn account but still initialize the ps4
Your PSN account should automatically be deactivated from the system when you initialize the PS4. But you might as well do it in the account settings beforehand, just to be sure! :)
