Does "Erase All Content and Settings" also remove associated device with an apple ID?

I have to give away an iPhone.
When I follow the steps in http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661, does it also mean that the association to the apple ID (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4627) goes away? I want it to.

You're welcome.

Hi DaVince Vince,
I'm sorry to hear that you are having issues with your iPhone. I also apologize, I'm a bit unclear what issues you were having that led up to the attempted Erase All, and/or exactly what behavior you are seeing now (restarting, not responding at all, etc). If you are seeing an Apple Logo screen and your iPhone does not appear to be starting correctly, you may find the following articles helpful:
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support

Does erase all content and settings remove icloud?

Hi everyone
Apologies if this is a stupid question!
I sold my iphone 5 today and used the erase all content and settings function to wipe the phone. My icloud account was turned off on the phone before this. I just want to make sure i have completely broken the link between my icloud and my old phone. I have logged into my icloud and my old phone is not under the list of devices or in find my iphone. The phone is also not linked to my support profile so does this mean i have completely de registered it?
Many thanks in advance

Yes. Read here: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Does "Erase All Content and Settings" remove or retain the current IOS version on the device

I want to give my iPhone 3GS w/IOS 6 to a family member. When I "Erase All Content and Settings", will it remove or retain the current IOS version on the device?

The version that is installed will remain.

Does Erase all contents and settings in 2.0.2 wipe the firmware updates?

I am about to sell my ipod touch on ebay and to ensure that all my data is cleared I have used the erase all contents and settings option that 2.0.2 introduced. The question is does this return the touch back to the factory firmware (1.4 I think), unable to check without starting to sync new device to itunes again.

I believe that option has been available since earlier firmware versions. My understanding is that it does not affect the software/firmware on the iPod. From what I've been told, once the iPod is updated to 2.x.x it is not possible to go backward to a 1.x.x version. If anyone's been able to do this successfully, please correct me. You should be able to hold 'Shift' when clicking Restore in iTunes, so you might try that to see if 1.1.4 is an option to restore the iPod to.

I'd really like to start my phone over but I don't want to have to have to go to my dad after resetting it begging for him to call the carrier company and restart it.

No, it will not delete the carrier information.

How can i get my photos back after i erased all content and settings

Okay so i had a Iphone 5c and broke it so they shipped me a new one, And as i was trying to set my new one up the paper said to go to settings and back up my phone and then erase all content and settings from my damaged device, So i did. And for some reason i cant find anything in my icloud account.
How can i get all my pictures back onto my phone but the knew one? Is that even possible? Or can i find them anywhere else? Like how can i restore a back up? I think thats what it is. I just need my pictures back really bad, Any suggestions!? Please help me

I had saved my photos on my WD My passport but I think it was only saved like a preview.
We need to know more, to be able to understand what you have done.
How did you save your images to the external drive? Did you copy your Aperture library there?
Is your Aperture library referenced or managed - did you store the original image files outside the Aperture library or are they included in your Aperture library? If you have referenced images, did you back them up too?
The error message you are seeing, shows that Aperture cannot find the original image file. That is indicated by the yellow warning badge with the arrow.
If your Aperture library is referenced, you need to restore your backed up original image files as well from their backup, and then use the the command "File > Locate Referenced Files" to reconnect the image versions with the missing original files. Do you have a backup of the originals? If you cannot restore your referenced originals, you can turn your previews into new originals; post back, if you need help with that.
If your Aperture library is managed, and all your originals are included inside your Aperture library, try if the Aperture Library First Aid Tools can fix this:
Repairing and Rebuilding Your Aperture Library: Aperture 3 User Manual
Check if the "Masters" folder inside your Aperture Library contains any image files: Crtl-click the Aperture library and use "Show Package Contents". Are the missing original image files inside?

Is it possible to hide "Erase All Content and Settings" using Apple Configurator?

How we can hide "Erase All Content and Settings" button from iPod devices using Apple Configurator? we have purchased these devices under enterprise deployment.

not at all. for the moment we handle this problem by writing an image everytime we (think we) have to update the itunes u content. an update becomes necessary when users give us the iPad back and we recognize that there is good new stuff on it or whenever colleagues tell us to do so.
With a new rollout of this image we offer new itunes u content on our iPads.

If I press "Erase all contents and settings" does the iCloud account get removed from the iPhone?

I also do not know the password to the iCloud account and when I go to the "Forgotten Password" link, it says that account is not found.

Yes, but you will not be able to erase it without the password if Find My iPhone is turned on. If you need to reset your iCloud password, read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617. Of course, you can't reset the password unless it is your iCloud ID.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Something has gone wrong, as this should have happened almost instantaneously. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
