I need to erase all Contents and Settings from my i phone 5 but I forgot the restrictions passcode. How can I get it. ( Idon't have access to i tunes). Thanks.
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.
The above comes from here:

I'm selling my ipod and need to erase all content.
I'm selling my ipod and need to erase all content.
I cannot enter the passcode to proceed because it's telling me to try again in 22433090 minutes. How can I get around this?First sign out of iTunes on your computer.
Then place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

I've transferred my itunes library from PC to Macbook pro running latest itunes and now it will not recognize my iPods (nano 4 and 5th Gen an Ipod touch). All music is there and playable but will not recognize any devices. Help please
The ipod is not a backup/storage device.
You need to copy everything from your old computer to your new one.
The Apple store will do this for you, you can call apple support and they will help you, you can use google. -
I need to erase all the content and settings from old iPhone 4s. Will doing so affect content on new iPhone 6 which is using the same iCloud account and Apple ID?
No, it will not affect the iPhone 6 content if you wipe the old iPhone 4s.

I am trying to erase all contents on my iphone 4, its been running for 6 hours now, is this normal?
I am trying to erase all contents on my phone, I am trying to get it back to factory settings, I don't have any jailbreaks or anything like that on my phone, The circle thing has been running for six hours now, is this normal? Before I did that, I tried to do it through itunes, and it would not restore it through there either? Im at a loss?? That took only like 5 min before it says sorry it could not be restored. This is taking forever....
Hello Stephiworld,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are trying to restore the phone to its factory defaults but the process is stalled or the phone is totally unresponsive.
If the phone will respond to the Sleep/Wake button, I would turn it off the normal way, then turn it back on.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
When it turns back on try the Erase All Content and Settings option again.
If the iPhone is completely unresponsive and will not turn off normally, I would reset the device with this process from the above article:
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Cheers,
