You'll lose the data, so make a backup before restoring the device

    Depends on how you restore. if you perform a sync first, to create a current backup, you can then restore from that backup. If you restore as a new device, all data on your phone will be erased.

    No.  It will only erase the phone.  The iCloud data will remain in iCloud.

    Nope. I have restored my iPod many times (4+) and it didn't ask me to purchase it again. But... if you try this using iTunes 8, you will experience less problems.

    A restore will erase your iTunes media but you can re download iTunes purchases without being charged again.
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    "With iTunes 10.3 and iOS 4.3.3 or later, you can download your previous purchases directly to your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or computer.1"

    if i restore my iphone will my photos delete ?

    When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone is completely erased first followed by the current iOS version being installed or re-installed. Following iOS being reinstalled, you are prompted to restore from your iPhone's backup which is selected by default, or as a new iPhone.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, but if there is a problem with your iPhone's backup in regards to this data, you could lose the data and there is no way to know if there is a problem until too late.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. If not and your iPhone were lost or stolen or damaged beyond repair and not replaced for whatever reason, this data would be lost.
    You should import the photos/videos in the Camera Roll by your computer on a regular basis and especially immediately before restoring your iPhone with iTunes and before installing an iOS update.

    The following assumes you've been backing up to icloud all along.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings.  This will erase your device.  Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.
    Let us know if this method does not work.

  • HT1212 if i restore my ipod will it erase my itunes library on my computer

    if i restore my ipod will it erase my itunes library on my computer

    No.  Your iTunes library is your "master copy."  Doing a Restore on the iPod just erases the iPod, like deleting a playlist.  Your iTunes library is not affected in any way.

    If the supported address book app on your computer includes contacts as well as your iPhone, you will be provided a merge prompt with the first sync for this data, which you want to select.

    Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
    This will bring it back to factory. From there you can go through the setup process to either restore from a backup or set up as a new device.

  • If I restore my Iphone, will all my pictures still be in icloud on my computer?

    I want to get all the pictures from my iPhone (iOS 7.1.2) and keep them on my laptop, I thought the easiest way to do this would be through iCloud (Windows 7) , but if I restore my phone,  I will not be restoring the iPhone. Will the stay there or be deleted?

    Hello there AoifeLan.
    The following Knowledge Base article provides some great steps for importing photos from your iPhone:
    iOS: Import personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Import photos in Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Import photos or video from your device to your PC:
    Connect your iOS device to your computer. If the AutoPlay window appears, click "Import Pictures and Videos using Windows," then skip to step 4. If the "Import Pictures and Video" dialog appears, skip to step 4.
    If the AutoPlay dialog doesn't appear, you might need to check your settings.
    Choose Start > Computer.
    Right-click the logo for your device and click "Import pictures and videos."
    Click Import Settings.
    Click the Browse button by the "Import to" field and choose where to import your Camera Roll's photos. By default, these will import to the My Pictures folder.
    Select "Always erase from device after copying."
    If you delete photos after you import them, you can reduce the size of your Camera Roll and improve backup and restore times.
    If you want to import the photos to additional computers, don't select this option.
    If you don't want Windows to delete photos from your camera on subsequent imports, remember to come back here and deselect this option when you're finished.
    After setting your import options, click OK to dismiss the window.
    Choose a tag, if desired, and click Import. This screen appears only while the import process is active.
    After the import is complete, Windows Photo Gallery will show your photos and videos in Recently Imported.
    If some of your photos didn't import from your device's Camera Roll, you can copy the photos to your computer using Windows Explorer or import the photos using software such as Windows Live Photo Gallery or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later.
    Copy the photos to your computer using Windows Explorer:
    Connect the iOS device to the computer.
    Choose Start > Computer.
    Double-click the logo for the device to browse its folders.
    Go to [iOS device]\Internal Storage\DCIM\100APPLE.
    Copy the content in this folder to your computer.
    Disconnect your device. Open the Camera Roll and delete the photos you imported.
    To copy the photos to your computer using Windows Live Photo Gallery or Adobe Photoshop Elements 3.0 or later, see the documentation for that application.
    Learn more about transferring media from your device to a PC using Windows Vista or Windows 7.

    Cheers,
