Erase all content and settings from my iPhone.

If I erase all content and settings from my iphone will I lose everything on iCloud? I got my phone from my mother. I would like to delete everything off the phone, but I also want to make sure that she still has everything that was on it on iCloud. I tried going on "reset" > "erase all content and settings" but then it says "Enter Apple ID password to erase the iPhone and remove it from your account, [email protected]". I´m worried that if I do this everything she has on iCloud is deleted?

Hi, first do the backup on the phone on iCloud to be sure all saved, then you can erase all and it will be saved on icloud.
also install iCloud on the pc so you check if you have all data before erasing from the phone-double sure.

No, it will not affect the iPhone 6 content if you wipe the old iPhone 4s.

Thanks for help.

After wiping it, you need to re-activate it. If it is carrier locked, you will need to activate it on the network it is locked to.

Do you have a SIM in the phone? A SIM is required to activate the phone.
If you do, ask your dad if the phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.

No. Your other devices will be unaffected.
Just tap Settings -> General -> Reset -> Erase all content and settings.

Not possible. You need access to iTunes.
The passcode will be required to make changes to these settings or to disable Restrictions. Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.

Then you will not get error 1015, the error will be some other number.

Were you signed in to iCloud?
Did you have Find My iPhone enabled in the iCloud settings?
If so sign in to iCloud.com > Find My iPhone > Devices & select your iPhone
Otherwise, you are out of luck.

Erasing all content and settings from my iPad is taking 8+ hours...

I wanted to erase all content and settings from my iPad. I started the process at 2pm and it is now 10:20pm. It has been stuck on the loading circle going round and round for more than 8 hours now... is this normal? What should I do? and is there anything that can fasten up the process. My iPad is an iPad mini 16GB WIFI white, on either iOS 7.1.1 or iOS 7.1.2 and most of the storage was taken up, is that why its taking too long?

Hello ceburton,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like Erase All Content and Settings is taking a while to finish. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:

If i "erase All content and settings" on my iPhone, do I loose my contacts??

If I erase all my contents and settings will I loose my contacts? Verizon has screwed up my phone when bought and didn't set things up correctly. My iCloud will not verify and my mail says my password is incorrect. So I want to reset everything

If you aren't syncing your contacts with iCloud or other cloud service, and you didn't back the phone up to iCloud or iTunes, you will lose your contacts with Erase All Content and Settings. However, no contacts will get loose.

If I erase all content and settings on my iPhone 4S, will my text messages be deleted?

I have way too many pictures, so I just want to erase everything and start over...but I don't want my messages to be erased! If I "Erase All Content and Settings", will my text messages be erased as well?

"Erase All Content and Settings" will erase everything.

Would I be able to access all of my photos and app/game data after I erase all content and settings from my iPod through iCloud?

My iPod Touch 5th Gen. isn't syncing to my computer and I've alread backed it up to iCloud plenty of times. So my question is if I erase EVERYTHING back to factory settings and set it back up as a new iPod can i reaccess all of my photos and app/game data?

If you restore from iCloud backup all your photos in your Camera Roll album and all your iTunes purchases that were on the iPod will be restored. Photos that were synced to the iPod and non-iTunes purchases like music ripped from CDs will not be restored.

Please help! my little sister deleted all content and settings from my iphone,i did not get the data saved on my itunes,how can i instal an other version .

I Just see a dead face on the screen i cannot do anything on my iphone and my laptop doesn't recognize the iphone when i connect it to the laptop.

Force the phone into recovery mode & restore from your most recent backup:
Turn your phone off. 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. Follow this by syncing your content back to your phone.
