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.

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.

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.

Ipod touch 4th gen won't show anything on the screen after "reset all settings" option??

okay, here's the situation.
1. I DID NOT under ANY CIRCUMSTANCE Jailbreak this iPod. in fact, the iPod was FULLY reformatted, and had a whole new library put on it prior to the malfunction.
2. the iPod WAS FULLY WORKING BEFORE i selected the "Reset all settings" Option from the Privacy menu
3. I have tried ALL of the reset steps, including, but not limited to; DFU mode, Force reset, Hard reset, Hard reset, Force-into-itunes, and the like.
So, knowing that I HAVE NOT jailbroken this iPod, and I have tried EVERYTHING tio fix it, what might the problem be? please, someone help ASAP.
Brandon.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Flash player 11.3.300.265 resets privacy settings after deleting private data in Opera

hello,
flash player 11.3.300.265 and Opera 12.00.1467 x64, Windows 7 here.
I noticed that when I delete private data in Opera, with "delete plug-in data" checked,
all the privacy settings in flash control panel reset to default state of "allow".
Is this a bug or feature? I really don't think it was planned to be this way..
Because in doing so (deleting private data), the user expects to (hopefully) feel less exposed, than vice versa, which is the case when flash player allows everything without any notification.
If it's not intended, which fault is this, Adobe or Opera?

My iPhone 4s 64gb was freezing so I went to rest menu and pressed the reset all settings it says you will not erase media and data but I have lost all my photos these are not backed up as I just come back from holiday how can I find them?

I have iCloud but these pics are not there, why did it erase them?

The photos could/most likely ARE still in photostream. I just did this with my ipad yesterday.
Log onto iCloud from a desktop in iPhoto and see if they alreaady synced over photostream first.

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?

Reset all settings on iOS 8.1.3

I have been having many battery problems on my iPhone 6, and it hasn't changed with iOS 8.1.3. So I read that it would be good to try resettings all settings. I read that it won't touch my music, photos, apps, etc.
But I would like to know what exactly it does, I have been searching and googling everywhere and I can't find information about it. Does it reset all Settings to default, or does it also reset all my apps settings (all the little changes I have been doing to my apps over weeks)?
Because if it resets only the phone settings to default that's Ok with me, I can reset them. But if it resets all my app data (passwords, every configuration, etc) that's not ok.
Thanks!

Your phone will not be reset to like new or the factory default condition. Resetting all settings will remove all passwords, user names and other Settings that you have entered. This includes Wi-Fi networks. It will not remove the apps you have added or the data that those apps contain. It will not remove your photos or music.
To check which apps might be using the most of your battery life use the settings app.
Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage
This will show you which apps are using the battery and by how much. Once you have that solid information you can take steps to cut down how much battery the offending apps use.

Reset all settings and data

I reset my ipod touch 2G 8gb with the reset all settings and data option.
Now all my ipod does is is display the apple logo and loading circle for a few minutes, then seems to shut off then turn back on and repeats over and over and over. I set it to recovery mode, and itunes recognizes it, but when i update it, it finishes the download, then tells me that the connection timed out, and removes the download from the list.
I've tried everything i can find to no avail. Can someone help me?

Have you tried restoring it from itunes?

Reset all Settings?

If I press the "Reset All Settings" button on my iPod, it will ONLY reset my settings, correct? Am I right that it WILL NOT affect my music, videos, messages, apps, photos, notes, facetime, safari, email, etc.? Will it only reset things like wifi, passcode, keyboards, wallpaper, etc.?

Correct. From the Users Guide:
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

Reset all settings on iPad but will not finish after 2 days!

Tried to reset all settings and delete data on iPad so i could pass it on to my wife but it has got locked into resetting mode (little rotating dial in middle of black screen) for more than 24 hours and will not finish, nor will any buttons work nor will iTunes recognize it or my pc recognize it when I connect it with UsB

Try to do hard reset. This won't delete your data stored on iPad.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
Press and hold on the Home button
Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
If this works in order to erase all date: Go to general settings/ choose reset/tap erase all content and settings

I do not remember my passcode to reset all my settings or delete apps. does anyone know what i can do, i do not remember my passcode to reset all my settings or delete apps. does anyone know what i can do

Can some one help? i dont remember my passcode to be able to rset all my settings and delete apps what can i do.

If you mean that you forgot the restrictions Passcode, typically you have to restore the device as new in order to get rid of the Passcode. If by some chance you have a backup that does not contain the password, you can restore from that backup to remove the Passcode.
I found this in another discussion a whole back and I keep it handy in case someone wants to try it. I have never down this but it worked for a couple of users that were involved in the discussion. All of the copy under the Reset Restrictions Passcode, is another user's word, not my own.

1. Download iPhone Backup Extractor http://supercrazyawesome.com/ (This is for OSX, if you are using Windows there are other Backup Extractor programs although my iPhone syncs with a Mac so you will have to tweak these directions to work with the Windows program, here is one of the Windows programs I found: http://www.iphonebackupextractor.com/)
2. Extract the Zip file you downloaded, move the App to your Applications folder, then run the App
3. Click on Read Backups, in the window that pops up click on the backup file of the device you need the lost pin for, then click Choose
4. You will have a list of all the Apps on the phone. Scroll to the bottom of the list and click on iOS Files, then click on Extract. Choose a folder where you want the files to be extracted to.
5. After it finishes extracting go to the folder where you extracted the files and follow this directory path: iOS Files --> Library --> Preferences
6. In that folder find the file "com.apple.springboard.plist" and open it. (Read note below if on Windows)
7. In Property List Editor look for the key titled "SBParentalControlsPin"
8. Look to the right of that entry and you will see the 4 digit PIN. You can now remove/modify parental controls
(NOTE: If you are on Windows and do not have a program that will read PLIST files then open the file with Notepad instead. It will mostly look like garbled junk and words running together but towards the end of the file look for 4 successive digits, if there is more than one place with 4 successive digits then try them all, one of them will be your pin).

Does Firefox reset all the root certificates and root certificate settings whenever an upgrade is installed?

Does Firefox reset all the root certificates and root certificate settings whenever an upgrade is installed?

Root certificates are stored in the file nssckbi.dll and if you've disabled build-in root certificates then it is possible that they get re-enabled. There is however no reason to disable any of the build-in root certificates.
