If I reset my iPad will my iOS 5 upgrade to iOS 6?

Hi! In settings-general there is reset. If I reset my iPad 3 will my iOs 5 upgrade to iOS 6 or upgrading can be done only through Software Update? Thanks.

A reset has nothing to do with the software. Reset is holding down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple and letting it reboot. It's nothing but a general refresh for the device. The iPad eqivalent of 'control/alt/delete' to get out of a glitch.
It's useful if an app hangs or glitches. It doesn't touch the content or software at all.

  • If I reset my iPad will I loose all my apps too?

    If I reset my iPad will I loose all the apps too?

    Yes that's fine.
    Every time you purchase something on iTunes, they link the purchases to your apple ID.
    You'll notice the apps you've purchased before will either have 'installed' next to them in the App Store, or 'install'.
    If it has a price next to it, you'll be charged, so be careful downloading ones you think you've already purchased.

  • If I reset my iPad, will all my data be deleted?

  • Ipad will I have to upgrade my plan

    If I purchase an Ipad will it change my plan at all. I still have the free data plan and do not want to upgrad

        Hey Sherriakucera, the iPad is a great device and if you do decide to purchase it I know that you'll enjoy it.
    If you purchase an iPad, you can purchase one that is WiFi only so you wouldn't have to have a data plan attached to it.  You would only be able to connect to WiFi though and not the Verizon data network.
    To answer which data plan, I would need to know which calling plan are you on right now.  Please reply with the current plan you are on and we can better answer your question.

    Apple mail app freezes after first use after reset.  iPad 3 and IOS 8.1.  How do resolve?

    Hi, sixfinger.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Try forcing all applications to close and restart the device.  Once this is done test to see if the Mail app functions correctly.

  • I used my id to download an app on my sister's ipad. Now my email account is visible on her ipad too. How can I reset her ipad without deleting my id, apps and docs?

    I used my Apple id to download an app on my Sister's new ipad. Now my email account is visible on her ipad too. If I reset her ipad, will that delete my id, apps and docs on my ipad?

    I figured out the solution to the problem. First I de-authorized her ipad in my itunes account and in Settings : Mails-Contacts -Calendars,  I deleted Yahoo as her default mail account. It was that simple afterall and I didn't need to reset anything.

    Restarting or resetting the iPad does not delete the shared albums in iCloud (http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201559).

  • Will Genius Bar be able to reset my ipad 2 back to ios 4 from 5.1.1 update?

    Hi,
    I just updated my ipad 2 last week to ios 5.1.1 from the original firmware on my ipad 2. Now having wifi connection that is intermittent. I am able to connect to my wifi and it shows a strong signal, but will stall every few min or in apps that require internet (Netflix, Facetime, etc.)
    My wifi was great before the update. Is there anyway to go back to ios 4. I am not very handy with computers (I am a grandmother) but is there an easy way to go back to ios 4 or will the apple store be able to do it for me. I tried resetting my ipad, but it justs erases all my data and still leaves me with ios 5.1.1
    I have been googling this issue and am just finding out now that this update to 5.1.1 was a bad idea. I saw on the other forums some of the suggestions about turning off and on router and resetting network settings on ipad. I have done all this and its still not working the way it did before the update. I am just realizing that this issue has been going on for other people for the past two months. If it helps, I am using an Actiontec router (verizon fios) with an N repeater with WPA security.
    If anyone has any suggestions or links, i would be very grateful
    Thanks

    You cannot go back to an earlier version of iOS.
    If you are having Wi-Fi problems I suggest going to some location that offered free Wi-Fi. Your library or a Starbucks perhaps. Does your iPad connect there and work well?
    If your iPad works well there you can eliminate the iPad and it's iOS as the cause of your problem.
    If your iPad still acts up when connecting to the other Wi-Fi sources I'd suggest a visit to an Apple store to help discover the problem. Be sure to make an appointment prior to going to the Apple store.
