If I erase all content and settings on my iPhone 4S, will my text messages be deleted?

I have way too many pictures, so I just want to erase everything and start over...but I don't want my messages to be erased! If I "Erase All Content and Settings", will my text messages be erased as well?

"Erase All Content and Settings" will erase everything.

    Then you will not get error 1015, the error will be some other number.

  • Hi! I'd like to ask how to erase all content and settings if your iphone was stolen? Please help.

    Hi! I'd like to ask how to erase all content and settings if your iphone was stolen? Please help.

    Were you signed in to iCloud?
    Did you have Find My iPhone enabled in the iCloud settings?
    If so sign in to iCloud.com > Find My iPhone > Devices & select your iPhone
    Otherwise, you are out of luck.

    If you haven't already tried, see if you can force it into recovery mode to restore it:

  • Erase all content and settings from my iPhone.

    If I erase all content and settings from my iphone will I lose everything on iCloud? I got my phone from my mother. I would like to delete everything off the phone, but I also want to make sure that she still has everything that was on it on iCloud. I tried going on "reset" > "erase all content and settings" but then it says "Enter Apple ID password to erase the iPhone and remove it from your account, [email protected]". I´m worried that if I do this everything she has on iCloud is deleted?

    Hi, first do the backup on the phone on iCloud to be sure all saved, then you can erase all and it will be saved on icloud.
    also install  iCloud on the pc so you check if you have all data before erasing from the phone-double sure.

  • If i "erase All content and settings" on my iPhone, do I loose my contacts??

    If I erase all my contents and settings will I loose my contacts? Verizon has screwed up my phone when bought and didn't set things up correctly. My iCloud will not verify and my mail says my password is incorrect. So I want to reset everything

    If you aren't syncing your contacts with iCloud or other cloud service, and you didn't back the phone up to iCloud or iTunes, you will lose your contacts with Erase All Content and Settings.  However, no contacts will get loose.

  • 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.

    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.

  • HT1430 I have erased all content and settings from my iphone and when I turned it back on i can only access the emergency calls, what should i do?

    I have reset my iphone and erased all content and settings. when i turned it back on i only have access to emergency numbers what should i do?
    Thanks for help.

    After wiping it, you need to re-activate it. If it is carrier locked, you will need to activate it on the network it is locked to.

  • I need to erase all content and settings from old iPhone 4s.  Will doing so affect new iPhone 6 which is using the same iCloud account and Apple ID?

    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.

  • HT4113 hello, I have an Iphone 4 and im trying to "erase all content and settings" but it asks for a passcode that i have no idea what is. its none of my previous passcodes ive ever had. What should i do to find out that passcode?

    Hello im trying to "erase all content and settings" on my iphone 4, but it keeps asking for a 4 digit passcode and i have no idea what that passcode is. It's none of my previous passwords I've had on the phone since i've used it. How do i find out that Passcode?

    Are you sure it's asking for a four digit code?
    iOS 7 has a new feature called Activation Lock.  It requires your Apple ID and password before doing something like an iPhone reset.  This is a new anti-theft feature.

  • How to erase all content and settings when I forgot my password

    How do I erase all content and settings on my iPhone 3Gs when I dont remember my Apple ID password and I haven't installed Find my iPhone app on the phone? Thanks!

    It should be the same AppleID and password you use to log in here.
    I haven't installed Find my iPhone app on the phone?
    Installing the app will simply allow you to locate a different iDevice.
    You don’t need to use it to locate the iPhone in your hands. If it’s not in your hands, you cannot use the app on that device...

  • IPhone 4 "erase all content and settings"

    Okay first off, I would really appreciate some real and thoughtful answers. So my friend so me his iPhone 4 from Verizon Wireless. It still has service that he pays for (but I give him money each month to pay for it) I gave him money for the service for this month, but I want to wipe the service early because I found out that he was tracking my location and calling me out when I tell him I'm somewhere so I can't hang out (When I tell him the truth, that I have plans or just don't want to go he threatens to kill himself) I paid for the phone and want to keep it but I don't want him to keep tracking me as I plan to finally discontinue this exhausting friendship afterward and would like to not be tracked. He does have this still registered with his mom's apple id with track my iPhone from when he had the phone. I guess my real question is, does using the erase all content and settings make MY iPhone completely unavailable to him (Including content and location or even know if I decide to sell it) If this works, I plan on creating my own apple ID to set it up with and paying for my own Verizon Wireless account. Any REAL help that actually has information that I would want would help. If you need any clarification just put it in your question and check back for my Additional Details. Thank you(: what about a jailbreak or unlock? And are you sure it doesn't get rid of the Verizon because I just tried it and it says "No Service" where "Verizon Wireless" usually is

  • 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.
