I want to restore my ipad (removing all apps)

i'm transfering my ipad to someone else, how can i restore my ipad to factory settings? (removing all apps, just like the first time when i unbox a new ipad)

Connect via cable to a computer with iTunes.  From iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and do not restore from backup.

  • I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

    I restored my iPad and all my pictures and videos are gone how do I get them back?

    Well, when you restore your ipad, there is really no way to get the information back. The reason you restore it i to get all of the information off of it. Why did you restore it if you wanted to keep the info?
    Aa far as I know, there is no way to un-restore any device. But, you can put the info back onto the device if it was on your computer, etc.
    Sorry...

  • I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas?

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

  • IPod touch 2nd G won't hold charge. Restore does not help. removing all apps. Still discharges. What gives?

    iPod touch 2nd G won't hold charge. Restore does not help. Removed all apps and it still discharges even if not turned on and used for anythig. What gives?

    If it is warranty, bring it back to the Genius bar and insist on a replacement.  If out of warranty, you can get a replacement iPod with a new battery for $79 at the genius bar.

  • HT4623 I want to restore my iPad.

    I want to restore my iPad to factory settings, but when I try to it tries to download iOS 5.1.1 before I can restore. I have already updated the iPad with iOS 5.1.1 using wifi. My itunes says that the iPad is updated, and yet it still wants to download iOS 5.1.1. Can someone please help.

    If you restore your to "factory" a fresh copy of the iOS operating system is installed thus it will download iOS 5.1.1.

  • If you restore your ipad, does all your data get deleted?

    If you restore your ipad, does all your data get deleted?

    This could solve the "other" problem that you are experiencing right now. You really have nothing to lose by trying.
    Backup the iPad, restore to factory settings and then restore from the backup after you restore to factory settings to recover everything. You will also have to sync with iTunes in order to get your apps, music, etc back onto the device after restoring from the backup.
    That may totally solve the problem. But, on the other hand, as you mentioned, if the backup itself is the culprit - meaning that the backup is corrupt - when you restore from that backup, you could be right back where you started.
    Sometimes, when the "other" cannot be fixed any other way, you do have to restore to factory settings and NOT restore from the backup. Obviously you will lose all data when you do this, but you can still sync your iTunes content back to the iPad and you will not lose any music, apps, books and so on, as long as they are in iTunes on your computer.
    Most purchased content can be downloaded again at no charge as long as you use the same Apple ID and as long as the content is still available in the store in which you bought it (Music in iTunes, apps in the App Store ...)
    If that does not answer your question, just post again and I will do what I can to help you further.

    my ipad3 is disabled after entering wrong passcode. I have never synced it with itune. I transfered my Nikon camera picturs with USB cable from the camera to ipad multiple times. If I restore the ipad, will all pictures saved on the ipad erased afer restore?

    If you do not have backup, you can download past purchase

  • I'm on Vacation with no access to my Mac.  But had tried Sync. My software update is iOS 6.0.1. I've tried another WiFi network.  I read your comment of deleting Apps for stuck update. So removed all Apps! Can't even install Free Apps. Now using my Kindle

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • How do I remove all apps from my iPhone?

    How do I bulk remove all apps from my iPhone? There has to be a better way than removing each one manually. Thanks.

    It's easiest to plug it into the computer if you have a lot, and click on the Music tab of the iPhone. Then, either Control-A (Windows) or Command-A (Mac) to select all of the songs then press delete on your keyboard. If you have a few, it is easiest to swipe over the individual songs and press delete.

  • Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help

    Hi. I clicked some snaps from my iphone and post that without copying it i restored the iphone with all apps etc available from the backup taken. How do i get back the photos which were clicked earlier. Is there a way to get it back?? Please help

    Yes i had not taken back up before restoring it. However i was just going through some links on the net and there is a software available for MAC to retrieve such lost data. But the point is will the said software work on iphone as the OS is not MAC..
    Will have to give a try to this. If successful will share it with all. Anyone else has any idea about this please so share.

  • Restored my iPad marking all old emails as unread

    I restored my iPad. Now my hotmail email account is downloading all my old emails and marking as unread. Is there any way to stop this? Thanks

    I am having a very similar problem on my E71 on v400 firmware.
    Sycing still works but since yesterday lots of old emails from various dates in various folders have become showing as unread. Giving me a notification on every sync for about an hour as more and more mails were marked as unread.
    I'm currently going through the mails and marking them as read and hoping this doesn't happen again.
