how much it will take if I erase all content and settings?
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
It will take some seconds only to erase the content of the iPhone. Then, you will have to set up your device again

please help i accidentally erase all contents and settings in my iphone 3g . how to retrieve it? everytime i on my phone apple logo comes out.
Hold down the on/off button and the home button for 20 to 30 sec, when the iPod starts and the Apple logo is on the screen release the on/off button but continue to hold the home button until you see the plug into iTunes screen. Connect the iPod to iTunes and you should be good to go.

i have ipod 2nd generation 32 gb and i had reset > Erase All Content and Settings it is longer than 3 hrs it is still showing apple logo and blink like if it will restart but again it shows the same logo!! is it all right with the erasing...??? i am confused!!
For a 1G and 2G it can take hours. Make sure it is connected to a charging source otherwise the battery can fully drain before it is done. If still problem
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- 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.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT201274 I do the Erase All Content and Settings, How can i restart my i phone 3s?
I do the Erase All Content and Settings, How can i restart my i phone 3gs?
Reset the iPhone by holding the sleep/wake button at the top right of the device and the home button at the bottom center of the face at the same time.
Hold them both until you see the screen go black. In some cases, you may need to keep holding them even after the red power off slider appears. If it does, just keep holding it.
Wait until the white Apple logo appears.
When this happens, you can let go - the iPhone is rebooting.
An iPhone reset will not normally remove or delete any data or settings. However, the term reset is also sometimes used to mean deleting all content from the iPhone and/or restoring from a backup. -

HT201274 Will erase all content and settings on ipad affect basic icons?
I want to erase all personal information from my ipad 4, will erase all content and settings work. Will my ipad be reset to factory settings.
If you do that your device restores to factory settings. However, if you just want to remove settings, then just Erase All Settings. It's much faster.

HT201274 What exactly will happened if I reset all content and settings
I upgraded this phone from someone else's old account bc I had info in their account I needed. Now I'm restricted from doing a lot of things because they're old passwords are still in the system how can I erase there're old IDs and passwords and change them to my own without losing all my contact information?
If you erase all content and settings it will wipe the phone and there will be nothing on it. If you want to change Apple IDs:
For purchases, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with your ID
For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the ID at the top, sign out, sign back in with your ID
For FaceTime, go to Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, sign back in with your ID
For iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up a new iCloud account on the phone with your Apple ID.
For mail accounts, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars, tap each account, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account. Then set up your own.
That should about do it. Note: for app updates, if there are apps on the phone that were purchased with his ID you will need to delete these from the phone and from your iTunes library (if there) in order to not be prompted for the password for his ID. (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.) -
I was given an iphone 4s by my sister as she got a new one, now i want to clear it so that i can set it up with my own details, if i erase all content and settings will this affect anything on her new iphone as it is synced to the same gmail account
her contacts are connected directly with the Google Server so as long as they are saved to her Gmail account she should be 100% fine.. the only contacts she may lose are the ones that she added directly onto the phone and did not sync to her Gmail account.. so you should just double check with her on that

HT201274 How do you cancel the "erase all content and settings" process?
I started the "erase all content and settings" process and its seems to be taking forever, please how do i cancel the "erase all content and settings" process?
Welcome to Apple Communities
Try to turn off your device holding the Sleep button. Then, turn on, connect it to your computer and restore with iTunes -
My iPad is currently on OS version 7.1.2 and has not been upgraded to 8 yet. If I do an "Erase All Content and Settings" on the device will the device be forced to upgrade to 8 ? I would like to keep the device at 7.1.2.
To Perform the Erase All Content and Settings directly on the iPad it does not need to be connected to a computer.
In fact yes, is better if its not connected to one, but simply connected to its charger, and have it plugged in. Erase All content and settings, will not update the iOS.
If you restore the iPad using iTunes on your computer with the iPad connected, then it will update to iOS 8. Because the restore will place the newest available iOS version supported by the Phone on it.
Basically disconnect the iPhone, plug it in to its charger, and the charger to the wall, and then on the iPad go to Settings->General->Reset->Erase all Content and Settings. This will wipe clean the iPhone but will do nothing to the underlying iOS installation.
Once everything is removed, you can plug it into iTunes and sync your content back. Do not attempt to restore from backup while connected to iTunes, as it will update the iOS version in the process. Simply sync and you should have no issues. -
