if you have all the music that you want in your itunes and you sync your iphone with it, all the music will transfer, if you have enough gig

Will "erase all content and settings" lock my unlocked phone back up?

I have an unlocked iphone and am about to sell it to a friend, but first I want to erase all of my contacts, pictures, etc... Is it best to use the "erase all content and settings" to get rid of all my personal information without locking my phone back up? Because I don't know how to unlock phones...
Thanks

We can't discuss things involving hacked phones. Erase all may or may not relock the phone but the smart person erases all their personal information before selling an electronic device.

No, Erase All Contents and Settings restores the device to factory condition but with the current iOS version.

Restore vs Erase All Content and Settings

I have bought a new iPhone 6 and am going to sell my old iPhone 4. I have restored my old iPhone but I did not go through the 'Erase All Content and Settings' option before doing so.
What I would like to know is this: Is Restoring the phone through iTunes as secure a way of deleting the content as the 'Erase All Content and Settings' option?
Many thanks.

Hi ..
Yes it's secure.
You can do this directly on the iPhone without iTunes.
Tap Setttings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings
If you have not done so, create a backup prior to erasing all content using iTunes > Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch with iCloud or iTunes
That way you have a backup just in case for the iPhone 6.

HT201274 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 acco

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 Tried to erase all content and settings...now it won't do anything

I have a first generation iTouch and last night I selected to Erase All Content and Settings. I wanted to wipe it because I'm switching to an iPhone. The iTouch didn't have much charge so I started charging it while it was doing it's thing. Unfortunately, the iTouch doesn't do anything. When I hold down the power button, the white apple logo appears. It's been on a charger for several hours, too. When I plug it into my computer and open iTunes, the computer doesn't recognize the device.

Try connecting the device to iTunes in recovery mode and restoring it. See this article for instructions on putting your iPod into recovery mode.

The same password, you use to unlock your phone, use that passcode.

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.

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
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.
- 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 my device have now 8 hours after i did Erase All Content and Settings doing erasing , is this normal

Something has gone wrong, as this should have happened almost instantaneously. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
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.

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

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 Why is the iphone asking a passcode to Erase All Content and Settings if I never set a passcode?

I am trying to Erase All Content and Settings from my ios and it is asking for a 4 digit passcode but I dod not set any passcode for my iphone. I've reset it before and never asked now it is showing after the new IOS6 update.
Is there a default passcode or where can I get the code?
Thanks,

If you are referring to the passcode lock you can restore the iPad by connecting it to your computer and using iTunes.
If you are being asked for your Apple ID and password you will have to enter that. No way around it.
