I also do not know the password to the iCloud account and when I go to the "Forgotten Password" link, it says that account is not found.

Yes, but you will not be able to erase it without the password if Find My iPhone is turned on. If you need to reset your iCloud password, read here: http://support.apple.com/kb/PH2617. Of course, you can't reset the password unless it is your iCloud ID.

Something has gone wrong, as this should have happened almost instantaneously. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode:
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.

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?

HT201263 I wanted to delete all the information off of my iphone 4 so I could give it to another family member as i have a new phone, i fear i have done the wrong thing by 'erase all content and settings' - now i can you get the phone to load the set up

I wanted to delete the information i had stored on the phone, so thought i had to 'Erase All Content and Settings' however i fear this may of been incorrect, I cannot load the setup on the phone now, all i get is; 'we are unable to contiue with this activation, please try again later or contact customer care, i have tried to do this several times now to no avail

Is the device jailbroken?

If I backup my iPhone in iTunes then "Erase All Content and Settings", will I still be able to restore the iPhone?

I am asking this because my iPhone 4S is really starting to slow down. And I think is mainly due to the deleted text messages bug (i.e., they are still searchable in spotlight!), therefore not deleted off my phone and slowing it down. There are big delays opening up apps (especially Messages) and now, sometimes, my phone won't even vibrate when texts come in. I also just want to completely wipe the slate clean and start fresh, but I still would like to save the SMS conversations I already have. So I guess what I am afraid of is wiping my phone then iTunes sees the phone as a completely new phone and not "Drew's iPhone" therefore making a restore impossible. Would this be an issue at all?? Thank you!

If you restore your phone as new - your text message will be deleted from the phone.
If you erase all contents and settings and then restore from a backup, your text message will still be there.

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.

I have 4gen Ipod touch. When I try to erase all content and settings the ipod goes to a screen with a USB plug with a round itunes logo at the top and is frozen there.

Why cant I erase all content and settings? When I choose this option from the menu it takes me to a screen with a USB plug and an itunes logo and freezes there.

What happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and restore via iTunes? That is how you restore to factory settings.

Does Erase all contents and settings in 2.0.2 wipe the firmware updates?

I am about to sell my ipod touch on ebay and to ensure that all my data is cleared I have used the erase all contents and settings option that 2.0.2 introduced. The question is does this return the touch back to the factory firmware (1.4 I think), unable to check without starting to sync new device to itunes again.

I believe that option has been available since earlier firmware versions. My understanding is that it does not affect the software/firmware on the iPod. From what I've been told, once the iPod is updated to 2.x.x it is not possible to go backward to a 1.x.x version. If anyone's been able to do this successfully, please correct me. You should be able to hold 'Shift' when clicking Restore in iTunes, so you might try that to see if 1.1.4 is an option to restore the iPod to.

Do you have a SIM in the phone? A SIM is required to activate the phone.
If you do, ask your dad if the phone was jailbroken or hacked to unlock it.

I tried to erase all content and settings and now the apple logo wont leave

I had a lot of data on my phone and i wanted to get rid of it. so i went to the settings and went to reset. then i chose erase all content and settings. that was at about 330 today. it said it may take about an hour and i tapped ok and the apple and loading bar came up. i left the house without my phone figuring that the process would be done when i got back. i got home about 2 hours later and my phone was stuck on the logo and i couldnt get it to go away. i tried reseting it and nothing. i let the battery die and nothing. its still stuck on the logo and ocassionally the little loading circle apears and once in a while it will vibrate or flash. can anyone help me? my phone is basically my life and i depend on it for so much. any advice is greatly appreciated.

start iTunes,
plug in your USB cable
switch off your iPhone
press holding home button(the round button in front of the Phone)
plug it on to the USB cable
keep holding the button
till iTunes says it found a iPhone in recovery mode
then click restore as a NEW iPhone
then sync!?

IPod Touch Stopped Working after erasing all content and settings

I have a 32GB Touch I bought in January from Amazon. I just got the new iPhone and was planning selling the Touch. I used the "Erase all content and settings" and, since then, the iPod Touch does not respond. I let it sit over night since the manual says it can take a while but no joy. I've tried all the reset options. iTunes does not recognize it either.
Any suggestions?
Additionally, I have the receipt from Amazon but can I take it to an Apple store if it needs a fix/replacement?
Thanks in advance.

I was able to spend more time digging in the forum and came across the solution (thanks to modular747). Although this solution specified the iPhone, it worked fine on my Touch:
Do a DFU recovery:
1. Open iTunes.
2. Connect the iPhone
3 Press both the home and sleep/wake buttons until the Apple icon appears (ignore the red slider if it shows).
4. Continue pressing the home button alone until iTunes sees your phone in recovery mode.
5. Follow the prompts to restore the iPhone.

I have been attempting to wipe/erase the iphone 4S I recently purchased...for the past 20 hours....I went to Reset in Settings and clicked on "Erase All Content and Settings"....At that point the phone the screen went dark except for a white circular symbol revolving - indicating something should be happening....
The instructions indicated that, depending on what needed to be erased, the process could take several hours. Even though the device had a Tom Tom application with all the maps of Europe etc (about 2GB) and there were several other apps on the device, it does not seem to me normal that the device would be still clearing into the next day - today!
Can you please help!?

Something has gone wrong. Turn your phone off, then force it into recovery mode & restore it:
Press the Sleep/Wake button & Home button at the same time, keep pressing until your phone turns off, then release.
Leave the USB cable connected to your computer, but NOT your phone, iTunes running, press & hold the home button while connecting the USB cable to your dock connector, continue holding the home button until you see “Connect to iTunes” on the screen. You may now release the home button. iTunes should now display that it has detected your phone in recovery mode, if not quit and reopen iTunes. If you still don’t see the recovery message repeat these steps again. iTunes will give you the option to restore from a backup or set up as new.
Make sure you have no anti-virus software running or any firewalls...turn all of that stuff off.

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

If the issue persists you may need to put the phone into recovery mode, and then restore it with iTunes as a new device:
