Does "reset all settings" remove the provisioning profiles on my iphone?

Basically have a few installed provisioning profiles and wonder if resetting all settings will remove it.

Take it to an Apple store to be evaluated; without a working power button, there is no further troubleshooting you can do.

HT4528 After upgrading to iOS 7, my iPhone and iPad can no longer connect to App Store. I did reset all settings, still the same. Please help

I just upgraded my iPhone 4 and iPad Mini to iOS 7, suddenly they both can no longer access to iTunes nor App Store. The message says "Cannot connect to App Store". After some research, I did reset all, and still the same. Can anyone have a clue? Thanks,

As I mentioned earlier, when I clicked on the App Store or iTunes Store, the message reads "Cannot connect to iTunes Store" or "Cannot connect to App Store" depending on which I clicked.
I did check iTunes & App Store, it used to show my Apple ID there, but somehow it shows empty there. I then manually typed in my Apple ID, it just won't work. I know for sure that my Apple ID works as I tried logging online using that ID fine, but my iPhone and iPA
Thanks,

Does "Reset all settings" reset the Home screen and folders?

As per the subject... :-)
NB. I'm on iOS6 but I imagine the answer is the same for 4 & 5 too...
Apologies if this has been asked before, I have searched for the answer but can't find it.
Thanks

What exactly does the reset all settings button do on iphone

PLEASE HELP ME

It resets all settings in the Settings app to their default values, unless there are Restrictions set for changing values. This includes the home screen layout.

What happen to the Photo library when I choose Reset all Settings on my Ipad?

I just wanna know what will happen to all of my photos if I choose Reset all Settings on the Ipad 2

Reset All Settings does not delete anything, all it does is take most of the iPad's settings back to default (with the exception of accounts setting, and maybe a couple other things.) It is perfectly safe.
The only inconvenience is that you have to go back through almost all your settings and set them to your preference.

I cant remember my "Reset All Settings" Password and i tried putting all the passwords i remember and it says "9 failed Passcode Attempts" and then it says "Try again in 60 minutes "

Can Somebody Please Help Me.?

The passcode for Reset All Settings is the same one used to unlock the phone. How have you managed to unlock it without encountering this???
If you can't remember your passcode, restore the phone in iTunes using the same computer it was last synced with. If you try to use another computer, you will be asked for the passcode and your only choice is to force recovery mode.

Try doing a Spotlight search for the Contacts app.

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

Does the "Reset All Settings" option delete app data?

I have upgraded from a 16GB iPhone 4S to a 64GB iPhone 6. I restored my new phone from a backup of my old one just so I could transfer app data from one app. All went well with that, but now the app is sending notifications that I can no longer progress because my phone lacks storage space. That may have been true for my 16GB iPhone, but now I have over 43GB of free space on my new iPhone 6, and it's still telling me I'm out of space. I'm thinking this has something to do with the "settings" of my old 4S being transferred in the backup I made. I am willing to try a Settings Reset if and only if it will not affect app data. If it does, what other methods do you suggest to convince my iPhone it has ample storage space?

Reset All Settings does not delete app data. It DOES reset your home screen layout, however, plus any default settings that you have changed.

Does "Erase all settings" make the phone like a restore?

I am selling my iPhone 4. I don't want to update it to 4.0.2, but iTunes is trying to make me do it in order to restore - so instead i used the iPhones system settings to erase all data and settings ... it now appears as a restored phone - is this good enough for selling preparation.
P.S. the reason for selling is my employer is providing me with a paid for Evo (including plan etc). I prefer the iPhone for many reasons, but also want to save money, so reluctantly I am selling it.

You need to read closer, right below the "Reset All Settings" is "Erase All Content and Settings". They are two completely different things. roaminggnome is referring to the "Erase All Content and Settings" as clearly mentioned in his post.
I fear roamingnome, to whom I was responding, did not clearly mention "Erase All Content and Settings". Read closer...

Did you already try to set it up as new device?

My 3gs is magnifying my screen so that I can't access the "edges" of the screen - most functions won't work. I tried to reset "all settings" but I can't access the full keypad to enter my passcode. Re-boot does not solve this.

I have an Iphone 3gs - a little over one year old. It just started magnifying the screen so that many of the functions are not accessable. Scrolling is either very difficult or impossible. I've rebooted it many times (in fact I usually need to do that multiple time just to be able to manpulate the keypad to enter my passcode).
I also tried to reset all settings. One that screen I can't access enough of the keypad to enter my passcode. Any comments/help would be appreciated.

This is asked and answered often. The forum search bar is on the right side of this page.
It is also covered in the manual - zoom feature.

A question about the option Reset All Settings

Hello, I have a question about the reset all settings function in the IPad. I need to keep all of the installed applications on the device yet I need to remove any log in information and contacts. Is this the correct option or would the Erase All Content and Settings be what I want?

If you read the OP's request, they "need to keep all of the installed applications on the device". Selecting "Erase All Content and Settings" will do just that, erase everything.
Faroff, you can remove accounts in Settings/ Mail, Contacts, Calendar ... that would remove contacts only if the contacts were synced to such an account. If contacts were synced from iTunes, you'd have to un-sync them from iTunes by changing the sync settings. If the contacts were just manually entered and not synced with anything, you have to delete them one by one. However, iOS will remember past usage of a contact, so even if you remove them they may be recalled by you initiating an email or iMessage to something close to what used to be in the Contacts app. The only way to clear that I think is to do a full erase of the iPad.
As for log-in information, go to Settings/ Safari/ Passwords & Autofill, where you can erase passwords and saved credit card info. You can also clear cookies and data in this menu.
You might be better off doing a full erase of the iPad. Why do you not want to remove the apps? You can re-sync them from iTunes or re-download them if necessary. Or did you inherit this device from someone else and you're wanting to keep their apps installed but remove their private information?
