HT1766 i want to reset my phone will everything be deleted even though its backed up

i want to reset my phone will everythig be deleted (pics,messages,apps)

A reset (pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears) will not affect data in any way.
A restore (as new) puts the device into a clean, out of the box state.
A restore (from backup) restores the device to the exact condition when the backup was created on the most current version of iOS for that device.

    An iPhone reset is similar to a computer restart, and the answer is no with a reset.
    When restoring an iPhone with iTunes, the iPhone is completed erased first including iOS. After iOS is reinstalled, you are prompted to restore from an available backup for your iPhone. If you are backing your iPhone up locally on your computer with iTunes, iTunes updates the iPhone's backup as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    Regardless if there is an iPhone backup available, contacts are designed to be synced with a supported address book app on your computer and/or there are a number of free email accounts that support syncing contacts and other data over the air including a free Apple iCloud account. You don't have to worry about your contacts being included with your iPhone's backup when doing so.
    Photos and videos in the iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera epecially immediately before restoring the iPhone with iTunes and before installing an iOS update.

  • Ive updated my iphone 4 to ios5 and the music will not play atall even though its all on the phone is anyone else having this problem?

    Obviously Ive had the same errors originally but the software has updated fine now. But for some reason the music on the phone will not play atall! with or with out headphones. It seems too just be staying at 0.00mins and even if I fast forward it it just stays at the particular mins fast forwarded to. Has anyone else had this problem?

    Similar symptom here.  I gathered from other threads that by removing all the songs and re-sync them back to iPhone4 would sort the problem!  I tried with one album and it seemed to have work fine!  So I removed all the songs and transferred them back again!  However, I could not launch Music app any more!  Click on Music and it just stopped, i.e. could not be launched!!!
    However, I noticed that I could still play all the songs through headphone control.  But if you play without the headphone plugged in, no sound comes out of the phone speaker!!!!!
    Aarrrgggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!
    Apple - surely you must seriously look into this and come out with resolutions by now!  Would SJ step in by now????? RIP SJ!  Apple, in fact all of us, miss you - with diferent reasons !!!

  • If I restore my iPhone as a new phone will everything be deleted?

    I want to get rid of a banner at the top of my iPhone that I put there when it was jailbroken. After I restored it, it was still there and someone told me to restore it as a new iPhone.
    WIll doing so irreversibly delete everything off of my iPhone?

    Yes - I had to do a restore last night due to my computer ejecting the phone while it was doing the update/backup. I lost everything!

    Hello there, SamanthaYikwai.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers up some basic steps to try for reinstalling an app:
    iOS: An app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1702
    Reinstall the app
    Remove the app from your device and reinstall it. Remember that deleting an app also deletes its data.
    Delete the app.
    Press the Home button.
    Go to the App Store and download the app again.
    Wait for the app to download, then open it from the Home screen.
    If the download stops, you can resume it.
    If the issue persists, then you may want to try and sync the application to your iOS device using  your computer by following the information in this article, under the section "Download previous purchases on Mac or PC":
    Download past purchases

    Yes, a reset, holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release, does not affect data.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Only the content of your phone will be erased. Your Apple ID won't be modified and you will keep your data on your Apple ID, so don't worry

  • If i reset my phone will i loose contacts

    if i reset my phone will i loose all my contacts?

    It really depends what you mean with reset.
    Factory Restore?
    Updating your iOS?
    Restarting your iPhone?
    Factory Restore:
    If you back your files, no.
    Updating your iOS?
    Backup, and everything is stored.
    Restarting your iPhone?
    Let me ask you a question, you restart your PC, did you lose any of your files?

  • I want ot reset my phone but after reseting no change. why?

    I want to reset my phone 4s but no changing after resetting.

    You need to rephrase that quesiton. You want to reset the phone, but what is not changing. A reset doesn't really change much except help if the phone is not functioning correctly. It does not affect data or anything like that.

  • HT1414 If i back up my phone due to the wifi option being grayed out it says to connect to itunes and reset my phone but everything will get deleted that wont happen if everything is in my icloud account correct

    If i back up my phone due to the wifi option being grayed out it says to connect to itunes and reset my phone but everything will get deleted that wont happen if everything is in my icloud account correct

    If Wi-Fi is greyed out, it is not possible to backup to iCloud.
    If the device is backed up to iTunes and contacts, calendars, notes, etc are synced to a supported application or cloud service, and media and pictures are on the computer, then a restore will not cause any data to be lost.

  • If I back up my iPhone, then "Erase and Sync" my iTunes, will everything on my phone be lost even though I backed it up?

    I recently purchased a new Macbook Pro. I am trying to add music onto my iPhone 5 from iTunes, but it isn't working. I read the discussions to manually add music, but when I try, I get this pop up message:
    The iPhone “Miranda’s iPhone” is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes library?
    An iPhone can be synced with only one iTunes library at a time. Erasing and syncing replaces the contents of this iPhone with the contents of this iTunes library.
    So, I backed up my iPhone to the computer, in hopes that everything on my phone would not get erased. However, I didn't "erase and sync" yet.
    My only concern is that the old iTunes library I had on my old Dell computer was with a different Apple ID, so how does this affect me?
    Will everything on my phone get erased even though I backed up my phone? Why can't I transfer music onto my phone with my new iTunes? I've tried everything. Please help me!
    I don't want to lose all my music from my iPhone. I have like over 600 songs, and the old computer I once used is now broken so I will never be able to get them back.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    First, if you back up your iPhone in iCloud, you don't need a computer to restore the backup. If you use a different library or PC to sync the device, it will be erased automatically, so you have to copy the iTunes library from the computer that you use to sync the device in order to keep all your data on the phone. The answer is that it won't transfer the library to the new computer: copying the iTunes library to the new PC is enough
