What Mende says is true IF you have previously decided to back up to iCloud and not iTunes on your computer.

Does erase all content and settings remove icloud?

Hi everyone
Apologies if this is a stupid question!
I sold my iphone 5 today and used the erase all content and settings function to wipe the phone. My icloud account was turned off on the phone before this. I just want to make sure i have completely broken the link between my icloud and my old phone. I have logged into my icloud and my old phone is not under the list of devices or in find my iphone. The phone is also not linked to my support profile so does this mean i have completely de registered it?
Many thanks in advance

Yes. Read here: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

Erasing all content and settings from my iPad is taking 8+ hours...

I wanted to erase all content and settings from my iPad. I started the process at 2pm and it is now 10:20pm. It has been stuck on the loading circle going round and round for more than 8 hours now... is this normal? What should I do? and is there anything that can fasten up the process. My iPad is an iPad mini 16GB WIFI white, on either iOS 7.1.1 or iOS 7.1.2 and most of the storage was taken up, is that why its taking too long?

Hello ceburton,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like Erase All Content and Settings is taking a while to finish. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

When you select to "Erase All Content and Settings," the process can take from a few minutes to several hours. The time this process takes will vary by iOS device:
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,

If I "Erase all Content and Settings" will I have to start over in Injustice: Gods Among Us?

I'm trying to start over on the game Clash of Clans by Erasing all Content and Settings. By doing this, will I delete progress in games such as and especially Injustice?

You can restore from an iCloud backup. I am not sure whether that backup will include saved settings in a game, though I doubt it.

If I erase all content and settings does it deactivate my phone?

my friend bought me a phone on his plan without me being there to be able to put my iCloud stuff on it. I dont have time to go to the store to get it transfered Nor do I have a computer to back up my other phone to put the stuff on this one. So I was wondering if I erased all contents and settings on my new phone to put my iCloud stuff on this phone would it deactivate it to where I would have to activate it all over again?

Yes. Erase All Content and Settings puts the iPhone in the same state as it would be if it just came out of the box.

If I use Erase all content and settings it will set my phone to new right?

I have an iPhone 4s
OS 6.1.3
I want to make sure everything is deleted, data apps etc and I want to start new again, RESTORE to new
If I go to
Settings>General>Reset> Erase all Content and Settings
that will take my phone to a new state right? I want it to be completely new and to start over
Also I read about people restoring the phone, But is Restore different than taking it back to out of the box status?

I Thought erase all content and settings is the only way to restore the phone to new.
SOunds like you are saying there are two ways to restore to new?
what is the second way?

I gave my ipad 2 to my brother last month. After that he erased all content and settings, sign in with his apple id. The next day until now, I found out that I can not udpate my apps both on my iPhone and iPad Air. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

The next day until now, I found out that I can not udpate my apps both on my iPhone and iPad Air. I had create new apple id, change my password, delete the icloud acc. But still I can not update my apps. I have many of red notifications on iPhone and iPad Air. What should I do? Thank you in advance.

1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
Is your iPad working?

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

If I 'Erase all content and settings' on my iPod touch will it delete my music?

So yesterday my email changed so I changed my Apple ID email. I did it and typed the password in and stuff and it was fine. Then, it went really dodgy when I logged out of my old Apple ID and in to my new one. It kept popping up on my screen 'username or password for 'iCloud is incorrect' so I went to check my iCloud things and it wouldn't let me log into my new account. Also, it wouldn't receive iCloud mail that I have and it also won't back up my iPod. That's when I thought of resetting my iPod. But, because my Apple ID is dodgy I'm nervous about it deleting music. I've heard you can log out, reset then log in again but I don't know whether I'll be able to... I want to delete EVERYTHING apart from music.

As it says, Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Settings Erases Everything.
Y can do this to move the music to a computer.
Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device: Apple Support Communities
However, just what did you do? Could you have created a new account vice change the contact email address?
I no longer have an email address that was also my Apple ID. Can I still use the email address as my Apple ID?
Apple recommends you change your Apple ID to your current, working email address. This will not create another Apple ID, it will only change it to your working email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.
Note: @mac.com and @me.com Apple IDs can not be renamed. If you no longer use the .mac or .me email address be sure to add your valid email address as an additional email address.

Erase All Content and Settings on my iPod Touch

I'm trying to delete an old email address from my iPod Touch. It doesn't show up in Contacts and it has been deleted from my AOL, Yahoo, and gmail Contacts lists both in my iPod and on the laptop I use to synch the iPod. When I open my iPod and click to compose email it doesn't show up in the possible matches pop up while I'm typing the address. However, if I'm writing an email from an open app it does. I think I entered it manually one time rather than from my contacts list and it's stored in my iPod somewhere but I can't find it to delete it. A friend has suggested clicking on the Erase All Content and Settings but I'm not sure if I can re-synch with iTunes to restore apps and music and, if I can, I'm not sure if it will come back when I restore the apps.
I'm asking if that may be a possible solution to my problem and if I do that will I be able to restore content, including any purchased apps by re-synching with iTunes? I'm concerned with losing something I can't replace. Any assistance would be appreciated.

Ok, thanks for the response. I just have two more questions:
1) In my iTunes when I connect the iPod to my laptop I and click on My iPod, under Apps I get a listing of all my optional apps with boxes to be checked if I want them installed down the left side of the page, with the exception of the standard apps that are included with the iPod, like Photos, for instance, which cannot be removed through iTunes. Am I correct in assuming that these standard apps will automatically be restored when I re-synch?
2) What about photos I have taken with my iPod? Will I lose those? Is there a way to send them in bulk to my laptop first before erasing everything so that I won't lose the photos I've taken? When I go to the Photos folder in iTunes I can't tell which pictures are there and which are only in the iPod.

I wish to reset my ipad. However, when I selectGeneral Reset Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set). I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad not reset. How do I get past this?

I wish to reset my ipad (as advised by the Apple Store) to attempt to resolve an issue with a non-responsive part of the screen.. However, when I select General>Reset>Erase all content and Settings, I am prompted for a a Restrictions Passcode (which I have never set). I have now entered random codes 11 times and the ipad has not reset. How do I get past this? I am now at the point where I have to wait 60 mins before I can enter another random passcode. I just want the ipad to clear down, erase everything so I can start again.

The other option is to force iPad into Recovery Mode.

Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad

Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch. So, I replace them. I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings". I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds.

Ipod touch 4th gen needed a new screen and sleep/wake switch. So, I replace them. I was able to get to settings and do "erase all content and settings". I am not able to totally shut this device off as it keeps restarting after a few seconds. I have used itunes to restore and also recover. Device will actually shut off and stay shut off if I leave it connected to the computer. The moment I unplug (3 seconds) the apple logo appears, it boots, unlock screen appears, I can unlock and operate normally, unplugged or not. Just cant get it to completely shut down unplugged. Any thoughts?

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. Maybe you installed a bad component or damaged something during the repair/replacement.
Apple will not help since you worked on the iPod yourself.

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.
