No, you need to connect it to a computer running iTunes to manage the iPod's content (or erase it).

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone?

Why is there no way to delete all emails from my iphone? IOS 7.1. Every other phone in the market allows you to 'select all' then delete.
This trick of selecting one, then holding move, then unchecking (and subsequently moving all the emails to trash) doesn't work. I've read these suggestions and while it appears to work the emails just show up again once you leave and return to the inbox. Perhaps it worked on an older version of IOS.
It blows my mind this is not a standard function. I get a few hundred emails at work every day, and most of the time I just want to delete all of them from the phone as I've read them already. Currently it seems i can only click edit and then have to check each email individually to be able to delete them at the same time; this is the definition of tedious. I would think there are millions of other iphone users who get their company email on their phones that must experience the same thing. It seems now i either spend 20 minutes a day deleting emails, or just let thousands of emails accumulate on the phone (taking up space and also making it hard to just review the most recent emails which is all I want to be able to do when checking email on my phone).
I am hoping I am just missing some simple solution here that everyone else uses. Please help!!

Only Apple could answer as to why there is no "select all/"delete all" function in the iOS mail app. Users have been bemoaning this lack of functionality for years now. Like everyone else, you can submit feedback to. Apple here.
Apple - iPhone - Feedback
While I understand the whole idea of being able to use the phone on the run, if you have an IMAP email account, and if you have access to a computer at work during the day, use your "select all" function on the server and delete all of the unwanted email there and it will be removed from the phone as well.
That doesn't solve the problem on the phone, but it gets rid of the email which is your ultimate goal anyway.

You do not need wifi to erase the content of your phone. Go into Settings>iCloud>Find My iPhone>OFF.

Is there a way to transfer all information from the iPhone to a USB device/drive without the use of a computer? Can this be done via USB hookup with an app?

Thank you for your quick response.
Are there any apps that can do this, or is there a way to create an app to do this?

Copy everything from the old computer or your backup copy of your old computer, to your new one.

I am trying to erase all contents on my iphone 4, its been running for 6 hours now, is this normal?

I am trying to erase all contents on my phone, I am trying to get it back to factory settings, I don't have any jailbreaks or anything like that on my phone, The circle thing has been running for six hours now, is this normal? Before I did that, I tried to do it through itunes, and it would not restore it through there either? Im at a loss?? That took only like 5 min before it says sorry it could not be restored. This is taking forever....

Hello Stephiworld,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are trying to restore the phone to its factory defaults but the process is stalled or the phone is totally unresponsive.
If the phone will respond to the Sleep/Wake button, I would turn it off the normal way, then turn it back on.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
When it turns back on try the Erase All Content and Settings option again.
If the iPhone is completely unresponsive and will not turn off normally, I would reset the device with this process from the above article:
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Cheers,
Sterling

Erase all contents on my iPhone

I have begun to erase all contents on my phone as part of the network unlock process but I started this almost 24 hours ago and it still has not completed. There has been a spiraling wheel in the middle of the screen since it begun. Can anyone advise me on what to do?

Erasing content and settings on iPad will not erase stuff on iPhone.

I backed up all of my data on my laptop and uploaded songs as well, I then plugged my wifes' phone to upload the music to her device, my laptop then erased all her data (photos, videos etc) and replaced it with mine, is there a way I can restore it all?

Good day
I synced my iPhone4s with my laptop and loaded music on it, I then tried to upload the music from the same computer to a different iPhone4s and it deleted all the photos and data and replaced it with mine, is there a way to recover the lost data and photos?
Please help!?

You can only sync to one computer at a time. Changing the computer will erase all data on the device and replace it with the content of the new iTunes library. Only if you can restore from the latest backup of your wife's phone, you can get the data back.

Is there any way to erase all files from a broken macbook without switching it on??

My macbook air died when I stupidly spilled nail polish remover over the keyboard- this was actually about two years ago and for various reasons I've only just gotten round to figuring out the best way to dispose of it. The problem is that it no longer switches on at all (and doesn't charge either), so I have no way of erasing my files and personal information and I'm just not comfortable recycling it knowing there could still be stuff stored on there. Does anyone know of a way to wipe the memory without switching it on, or have any suggestions for what I can do with it otherwise?

1. Click here and follow the instructions; if you have a different MacBook Air model, see the links at the bottom of that page.
2. Put it in an enclosure(any large enough computer store should have them) and erase it, or just keep the drive.

I'm selling my Macbook Pro 17" that i have upgraded to Snow Leopard but I no longer have the disks because I gave them to the person who bought my iMac. Is there a way to erase all my personal info without having to resort to wiping off the whole HD?

I no longer have the Snow leopard disks so I can't just reload the OS but I told the person I sold the MBP to that it has SL on it so I don't want to wipe it off. Is there a way to remove my personal info without resorting to reloading the software again?

Open Accounts preferences. Click on the lock icon to authenticate. Click on the Add [-] to create a new user account. Give the new account admin status. Set the account for auto-login then restart the computer. The computer should boot into the new user account. Open Accounts preferences, click on the lock icon to authenticate. Select your old account and click on the Delete [-] button. Select the third option to remove the user folder and also check the option to securely erase. If given the option to select the number of passes select one pass only. This should remove your data from any prying eyes.

I have several Albums in my Photo app. Is there a way to download all contents in one album only to my computer?

I have several Albums in my Photo section in my iphone.
I want to be able to transfer a specific album only when syncing to my computer. So that all the pictures are already organized in one album when I transfer it.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks!

Please, please, please... I wonder if the solution of deleting the Podcast App and using the Music App again would work. My favorite sports radio station splits up their podcasts by DJ (logical), but I want to listen to all podcasts from one day from all DJs. No longer automatic :(
Apple developers, if you read this please add this feature - you had it in Music App.

Is there a way to transfer all songs off of an ipod and not just purchases?

I recently purchased an MSI wind netbook, with windows xp home. I was wondering if there is a way to import all songs into the itunes library? I have all of my songs on a gateway solo, but I screwed that computer up and have never gotten around to fixing it. I enabled disk mode on the ipod, and accessed the hidden files on the ipod. I can get to all of my songs, but their names are all four capitol letters. I could copy them all to a new folder and then import them, but this would be only as a last resort as I dont have the patience to spend 5 hours organizing the songs. Please help!

You can try these Apple directions
