I accidentally backed up my new iphone to my moms icloud account she's currently using. If i erase all content does it erase everything on her phone also? or just off the phone im using

So i just bought a new iphone and was trying to back it up onto my computer. I accidentally backed it up onto my moms icloud account that she is currently using. If i erase all content and settings will it delete everything in general or just off MY iphone that im currently using? I just need to reverse it but i don't want to delete all of her data, etc.

Hi brifuhrman,
Go to Settings>iCloud and scroll down to the bottom of the screen. Click on Delete Account and type in your Mom's iCloud password when it asks. Follow the prompts to finish deleting the iCloud account from your phone.
Once you have deleted that iCloud account from your phone, see if the things that you no longer want on your device are gone. If they are, then sign on to iCloud with your own iCloud ID and you will be ready to go.
If there are still things you need deleted from your device then start from scratch by doing a Reset All Content and Settings.
Cheers,

New iPhone 5 and existing iCloud account

I recently got my wife an iPhone 5 for the holidays. We are a multiple Apple family with 2 iPads, iPods, etc... Problem is, I set up her new iPhone on my existing iCloud account with out realizing it would send all my messages and contacts to her phone. Easy solution seems to be having her set up her own iCloud, but with that, I don't think I can use Find My iPhone (with 2 separate iCloud accounts). Is this correct? I can't be the first person struggling with this. Please help! Thank you!

Use separate Apple ID for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime. Use a common one for iTunes & App Stores.
You can use Find my iPhone by sign in with her Apple ID in www.icloud.com or in Find my iPhone app in another iDevice.

I have an ipod touch 3rd gen.I used the function of erasing all content and settings and now i am stuck on this screen with the apple logo and a loading sign for the past 17 hours.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

i have an ipod touch 3rd gen.I used the function of erasing all contents and settings and now i am stuck with this screen showing the apple logo and the loading sign for the past 17 hours.CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

When i clicked on erase all content and setting in my iphone3, it first shut down and next the apple logo appears and then nothing happens, how to fix it

when i clicked on erase all content and setting in my iphone3, it first shut down and next the apple logo appears and then nothing happens, its been 12hrs since like that. i tried force restart by clicking the home and sleep/wake button, and still same issue.

I believe with the 3G and the older iOS, erase all content and settings acts differently than the newer iOS. You can use this support document http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 to place the phone in recovery mode and restore it.

Accidentally back up my new iPhone and it replaces my old iPhone backup

Hi everyone, need help here.
Today i went to my local telco to have my iPhone 5 changed due to some problems. and before that, i backed up my phone this morning at 10:25am. Then i changed my old phone to a new one and i came home to restore my 10:25am backup to my new iPhone. But i clicked wrongly, instead of clicking restore backup, i clicked onto back up now. and now my 10:25am backup is replaced with 3:03pm backup. Any ways to help me undo this action?
Please help!
Jeremy

Is there nothing from your old backup on the new phone?
Start with deleting all content on your iphone as if you are running a fresh iphone and connect to itunes to perform backup from "10:25am" backup.

HT201210 my new iphone 4 is stuck with "USB connect to itunes". I put it in recovery mode last night, but it doesn't change. Itunes recognizes the phone and says it's in recovery mode, but when I do a restore, nothing changes.

my new iphone 4 is stuck with "USB connect to itunes". I put it in recovery mode last night. Itunes recognizes the phone and says it's in recovery mode, but when I do a restore, nothing changes.

it says "itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode. you must restore this iphone before it can be used with itunes." I click OK
then I click the restore button
Then the box says "Are you sure you want to restore the iphone to it's factory settings? all of your.....etc." I click Restore and Update
then it goes into software update
at the end of the software update it says "Itunes has detected an iphone in recovery mode...."
All this time, the screen of the iphone stays on with USB to Itunes
I might add that while the phone was in it's first attempt at recovery mode, it was accidentally unplugged.
any suggestions?

TS3682 I'm trying to set up my new iPhone 5s with my iCloud account. I backed up my iPhone 4s before I started. I got an error message about backing up from my mac and my mac had installed an update. However my new iPhone 5s looks frozen??

I'm trying to set up my new iphone 5s. I've backed up my icloud for my 4s to my mac. When I've tried to download from my icloud to my 5S i got an error message and my mac has updated itunes (I think). My new 5s is just sitting with the apple logo and a bar underneath which has moved about 10% but nothing for about 20 mins. I can't turn the 5s off? What do I do?

Problem resoled - it sorted itself out!! Thought I'd broken it before I'd even used it.

HT201263 i erase all content and settings if my ipod. but till niw it diesnt appear the apole logo ang still loadng. how us that? please help me

Please help me

Try this and see if the iPad will boot up. Let the iPad completely restart when you try this.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

I accidentally set up my new iPhone 4S as a new phone instead of backing up from my iPhone 3. Is there any way to get all my texts

I accidentally set up my new iPhone 4S as a new phone instead of using the backup I had from my old iPhone 3. Is there anyway to get my texts & contacts from that old backup now?

Neither of the above two posts will help you. If you want to restore your new phone from the backup of your old phone, you will have to start from scratch. On your new phone: Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Once done, you'll now be able to restore the backup of your old phone to your new phone.

HT201328 Hello, I needed to do a hard reset on my iPhone 3GS and it's taking me too much time. It's taking almost 12 hours by now!!!! I did it by going to "Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings", confirm it and then the iPhone turns

Hello,
I needed to do a hard reset on my iPhone 3GS and it's taking me too much time. It's taking almost 3 hours by now!!!!
I did it by going to "Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings", confirm it and then the iPhone turns off, gets the screen black with only the animated circle going on. And it's been there since then.
Is this a symptom of something bad? Should I do the hard reset by another way?

Hello Ali Syed,
It sounds like your phone is stuck at the spinning gear icon on the screen after Erasing all Content and Settings on your device. I would start by resetting the device with this process:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists you may need to put the phone into recovery mode, and then restore it with iTunes as a new device:
If you can't update or restore your iOS device

TS3694 When I went in to back up my new iphone, I didn't go in as new phone and I lost my iOS 6 setting. How do I get it back? i have tried downloading ios on my computer, get anything from 6 hours to 34 hours to download!! Is there anyway on the phone i

I went in again, chosing restore, itunes is currently downloading again! this time it says 44 minutes remaining. If my computer goes into hibernation, I have to restart and then download says 4 to 35 hours?? Trying to recover the ios6 is frustrating. I didn't chose the correct set up as new phone, because I wanted to set up my apps, etc. My new iphone is the 4GS, and it came already set up with the ios 6. Just trying to get it back! Also, can not get my wifi to set up. Thought it would recognize the settings and all I would need to do is put in my ID and password? My download is now saying 66 minutes?

If you want to go to the first set-up screen of iPhone, like after a restore, then on iPhone tap Settings App > General > Reset > Reset All Settings. If you want to have your iPhone basically Restore itself, then tap Settings App > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings.

Hi Mario,,,,
I tried everything in your reply,,, thank you again,, I had done that once before and all was working great,,
I have just now tried the Reinstall via iTunes, about 20 into the download, the iTunes logo on the phone disappeared, and the Apple Logo appeared again,,, I waited until the iTunes stated that the download had finished, and the install was in progress,,,
Nothing happened, still the Apple Logo was visual on the screen, iTunes never recognised the phone which it was on my iTunes account previously,,,
Still just a bunch of lines, maybe 5 or 6 so small writing,, I personally can not read what it is telling me, someone said it reads, incorrect shutdown,,,????????
Please advise,???
I am now at a loss,,, I really became excited when I saw the iTunes icon after putting the phone into restore,,,???
Thank you again

How can I back up my new iPhone using the old back up from iPhone 4

How can I restore my iPhone 4 backup to my iphone5 as I have start my iPhone 5 as a new device . I wish to restore from my iPhone 4 backup as there is a lot of photo inside .

Navigate to Settings > General > Software Update and install any updates available.
Navigate to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all contents and settings on the device you want to restore.
When this completes and the Set-Up Assistant starts, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.

Assuming you're creating this event to place in your calendar, and assuming this calendar is shared with your iMac and iPad using iCloud, might the calendar be restricted on your iPhone?
