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.

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

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. -
My youngest erased all content and settings on my iphone 4s (prepaid) and now it says it is not activated.I still have my account and number,but it says phone number unknown now.How do i fix this?.
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. -
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.

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.

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.

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 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.

please help i accidentally erase all contents and settings in my iphone 3g . how to retrieve it? everytime i on my phone apple logo comes out.
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.

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. 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?
