HT5796 I restored my phone after resetting all settings for an international unlock. I had backed up everything under Gail-PC as the device name Itunes. After I restored the device and went to sync my phone it now says the last time i backed it up was M
I had Sprint unlock my phone for international use. I backed up my phone to Gail-PC on Itunes and then reset the iphone 4S. When i went to resync the phone after the reset my computer now says the last time it was backed up was March 2013. I backed it up prior to and had no computer error. Now it shows the divice Gail-PC no longer exists in Itunes and only Gail's Iphone shows up. I upgraded to IOS 7 recently, I don't know if this could be an issue. Help what do I do know? I have lost all my messages and data from the last year. This computer does not have a backup. I only have 5 Gb space on Icloud so the Imessages did not get saved there. Is there any help for me now?
Thanks for the reply! Yeah that's pretty much what I figured.... I just find it upsetting that it didn't tell me the reset had anything to do with backing up data and made it sound like it would save everything on my phone regardless. Thanks again for your response

Do I "Reset All Settings" for my old iPad?
Just bought new iPad. Going to give my old one to husband. I've already backed up my files from old to new. Now do I hit "reset all settings" to get the old iPad back to factory settings?
No - Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. That wipes the iPad completely and he can start from scratch with his "new" iPad - your old one!

my 3gs has no service after updating from ios 5 tried resetting network settings, resetting all settings and restoring from back up on itunes.
telus cant find any network problems and apple is difficult to deal with.please help 3 weeks with no phone and $70 a month not happy.I have been having a similar problem for the last few days.Without warning the signal will just completely duck out leaving the device searching for several minutes before settling on a no signal message.
Sometimes restarting the device, toggling data and 3g settings or toggling Airplane Mode will set things right. However, a lot of the time I've been left without a working phone.
I don't believe this is a SIM issue, as I had to change my SIM only one month ago for another signal related problem. Again any help would be appreciated here as well. -

So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?
If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

Yesterday I reset my settings on my iphone 4 to correct a problem. Today I am unable to connect to itunes to sync my phone. The device does not show up on the screen. What can I do?
Best practices says plug the USB cable into the computer, then plug the 30 pin connector into the iPhone.
If everything is working correctly, you should be able to plug the iPhone in at any time. Before or after opening iTunes.
Depending on what settings are selected in iTunes, the program may or may not automatically open when you connect the device. -
How do i reset all settings forgot passcode on my phone
i need to reset all settings on my iphone 4 i forgot my passcode after to many attemps it says wait 60 min i need to reset all of my settings phone is workimg like crap
Well, whenever I restored from backup, iTunes always asked me to unlock my iTouch, then when the process completed, I still had to unlock it using the passcode I had before the restore. I'm on the latest version of everything. Is there some kind of setting I'm missing on iTunes or my iTouch?
I'm not meaning to hijack the thread here, so I apologize if I'm doing that. I'll take this question to a new thread if need be. -
Why 'reset all settings' asking me to restore from backup
My 'facetime' stopped working for some reason. I did use facetime just a day ago and didn't do changes since then. For some reason it stopped working. So, as per my wife's advice, I did 'Reset all settings'. But, for some reason after doing its thing it is asking me to 'Set Up iPhone' with these options:Set Up as New iPhone, Restore from iCloud Backup, Restore from iTunes Backup. This scared me...did I lose my media. I have tons of videos and pictures of my son. I didn't want to lose them. So, I jsut stopped proceeding. Can some one help me?

I wouldn't go through the restore process yet, might as well set it up as a new phone( this basically tells the phone you want it as is [which in this case is full of data]) then see what you get, if there is no data then you can always do the restore from a backup
Incorrect. Restore as new does just that, it wipes the phone and returns it to it's new out of the box condition with no data or settings.
It's not asking him to restore as new, re-read it. It is asking him to setup as new. Which is a common occurance when you reset all settings, even though it doesn't delete data from the phone.
So OP, you can do what randers4 wrote and spend some time going through the restore process, or you can tap on setup as new and check it out in 1 minute to see if the data is there. Whichever you do, I'm sure you will be fine. If you do setup as new and the data is not there, then proceed to restore from a backup. -

Eversince I updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5.0.1, sometimes I get a 'No Service' or 'Searching' signal where my network signal should be upon which I have switch the phone off then on then 'Reset all Settings' to get the phone normal again.Is there a solution to this?
I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again. -
Is reset all settings enough to restore factory settings or do I have to erase all content?
Data works without problem on my phone, but sometimes phone calls and SMS messages act like the phone is not on the network. Calls go straight to Voicemail and SMS messages are not received. Unless the phone is rebooted or turned off and on or a phone call is made, I won't get any notice of the voicemails or messages. Again, data is fully connected over the LTE network (push email and iMessages come through without delay).
AT&T blames the phone and told me I needed to reset. I used "reset all settings' and not the "Erase All Content and Settings." Have I fully reset the phone to the point were AT&T should recognize it is not the device and it's settings?It sounds like you are taking the right steps. Resetting all Settings does return your phone to factory defaults without deleting any of your content. This means you need to go into settings and turn on or off anything you had changed from factory default.
Resetting Network Settings as razmee209 suggested is the next step. You will need to re-enter any wifi ID's and passwords that you may have been using before.
If none of this works, you may need to take the big step of restoring the phone as new and do not restore it from your backup. This will remove all your apps and content so I would only do this as your last step if you cannot get the phone to work the way it should.
There is also the possibility that you have a hardware fault that you might need to have an Apple Genius look at to make sure you do not have a broken phone. -
I got my new phone in Dec and just now had the time to sync it. I was given the option of using as a new iphone or restoring to a previous and I hit restore and now everything i dwn loaded over the last few months is gone along w all sms and photos. What can I do?
Well, unless you made a backup BEFORE you hit the restore button, your data is gone.

I can't add video on instagram. It always fails. I read on the web that i shoul reset all settings. So I wanted to reset all settings. But it requires passcode. I forgot that passcode. What can I do? Is it possible to change that passcode?
To change the passcode if you have forgotten it the only option is to Restore your iPhone to Factory settings by connecting it to iTunes on your computer. And you can try the below steps to Reset your iPhone settings without need of any passcode.
Reset ( No Data will be lost )
First Make sure the Battery of your iPhone is Charged and then press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top of your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release both On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.
After your iPhone is Reset try to do what you were trying and see if it works or else you will have to Backup your iPhone and then Restore your iPhone to fix your issue as Restoring device fixes many of the issues
