Reset all Settings?

If I press the "Reset All Settings" button on my iPod, it will ONLY reset my settings, correct? Am I right that it WILL NOT affect my music, videos, messages, apps, photos, notes, facetime, safari, email, etc.? Will it only reset things like wifi, passcode, keyboards, wallpaper, etc.?

Correct. From the Users Guide:
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

  • My iphone 4s has been reporting invalid sim/sim card failure intermittently for a week. tried to solve problem permanently - in mid of reset all settings my sim card failed again. help! not backed up on icloud, just itunes.  don't ask. thanks!

    my iphone 4s has been reporting invalid sim/sim card failure intermittently for a week. I thought it was a one/two-time thing, so had to manually eject SIM card and put back in.  Today, after it happened twice in 12 hours, someone told me to reset - i thought they meant reset all settings, not network settings.  while in the middle of resetting, there was an invalid SIM card again.  so a few questions - which should i do first?  try to manually back up from itunes (not connected to cloud - will be after tonight!), or eject SIM card?  don't know if one will jeopardize the other.  also, the last time i backed up was 6 days ago - have taken hundreds of pics since then - are those all lost?  is there a way to essentially not reset?  i thought the reset was okay because it said i'd lose no data or media. Help!  thanks much!

  • I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on.  So I know the speakers still work.  I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute.

    I have an iPad 1st generation that no longer has working volume buttons but every once in a while the sound turns on.  So I know the speakers still work.  I have tried resetting all settings and made sure that my side switch was auto lock not auto mute. I have tried the mystical swiping upward on the screen with 4 fingers to get some special sound menu (which I never succeeded in getting).  My headphone jack doesn't work all the time either so some times my kids can hear their games and sometimes they can't.  I am super frustrated at this point.  So any suggestions would be great.  Am I missing something basic or do we just have a soundless iPad now?

    After I updated my iphone 4 to ios 6.1.3 I can no longer connect to my bluetooth, plantronics model M25.  I tried reset all settings after turning on and off also submitted diagnostic.  Do I have to buy yet another bluetooth set?

    Thank you wjsten for your soon reply. Unfortunately on these days I'm in a country that Apple don't have any retail store here and for sake of time I prefer to fix it myself to DHL it to the nearest country to use its warranty. Do you have any idea how can I fix it? Do you think it's a software issue?

    If you forgot your restrictions passcode then yuou have to:
    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - If you are up to it see:

  • Eversince I updated my iphone 4 to IOS 5.0.1, sometimes I get a 'No Service' or 'Searching'  signal where my network signal should be upon which I have  to 'Reset all Settings' to get the phone normal again.Is  there a solution to this?

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • Reset all settings and contants ipad.Now ipad is not open?why?on the screen always apple icon.

    reset all settings and contants ipad.Now ipad is not open?why/ on the screen always apple icon.

    Why would you do that? That's not how you deal with issues on your iPad, that's how you deal with problems on poorly designed Windows machines.
    Try this First...
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • Those Who Got 'Reset All Settings' to Fix the Proximity Sensor Issue...

    I thought I would start a thread dedicated only to the steps that people took to get their proximity sensor issues resolved. So far, there are only scant posts lost deep in huge threads.
    For example, did you do a hard or soft reboot after you reset all of the settings? Did you make calls right away? Did you change all of your settings back first before making a call? Did you only change some settings before a call and then others after? Did you set up your visual voicemail right away? The reason why I am asking is perhaps there is a problem with a particular setting that we can narrow it down to...or maybe a certain combo of settings since resetting just the network settings seemed to work for some and not for others.
    Also, if it worked, was it only a temporary fix?
    Please post constructively. I have been following the threads for days, and I am well aware that this may be a hardware issue.

    On my fifth phone and am currently working with an apple engineer to help investigate the issue. The best thing I've done to help temporarily is to reset all settings. That seems to hold for 24 hours or so but the issue always returns.
    Hope you get something to work, but I'm fairly certain apple won't be able to do a firmware update to fix this or they would of already done so or at least mentioned it.
    Thanks! That's what I was beginning to think as well...and it's also what I was most afraid of...

  • Can not reset all settings

    I recently updated to ios 7.0.2. on my 4S and noticed a problem in not being able to enter events on my calendar. This turned out ot be a set up problem as only the "Birthdays Calendar" was selected.
    However, in the process of troubleshooting with Apple Tech support, I was not able to use "Reset All Settings" under Settings, General, Reset.
    My four digit pass code entered for Passcode Lock when I set up the ios7 update does not allow access to "Reset All Settings" and "Erase All Content and Settings". This passcode does permit me access to the remainder reset options on the Reset page.
    Although not a problem now, if my iPhone is stolen, I would not be able to clean out my personal data.
    Any thoughts or ideas? Should I do a full Restore after backing up my data and settings? Will this force the need to enter a new pass code?

  • My Ifone 4 was not behaving properly. I pressed "Reset all settings" now it has

    My Ifone 4 was not behaving properly. I pressed "Reset all settings" now it has been more than 1 hour my ifone is still working in background and white circle is moving in the center of the screen. None of the button including Power works may you press it for any time

    Enter DFU Mode.
    Connect the iPhone to your computer and launch iTunes
    Turn the iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone)
    Hold down the sleep/power button and home button together for exactly 10 seconds, then release the power button
    Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected
    Do a restore

    Did you follow the instructions here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4367
    Pay attention to differences in power connection depending on whether or not you have AppleTV2 or AppleTV 3.
    Also some microUSB leads don't seem to work - try another if you can. Disconnect superfluous USB device/hubs too if possible.

  • What happens if I choose Reset All Settings?

    My iPhone is giving this popup that says: "Unable to Purchase: 'The Simpsons Arcade FREE' and 1 other item could not be purchased at this time. Please try again later." frequently when I try to update or install any app. (The app installs fine though.) Apple Care suggested I choose Reset All Settings to get rid of the problem. My question is, what exactly happens? Do settings and preferences in the apps get deleted too, or just system settings?

    That's sounds just crazy enough to work, like a combination of things I already tried. I'm going to post what you said to https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3681763?tstart=0 and see if it helps pepole. Meanwhile, I did one update to an app since doing what you said and didn't get the message, so we'll see if it comes back.

  • So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date, is there a way to get it all back?

    So here's my problem. I just used the "reset all settings" option, and accidentaly restored an old backup. It deleted all my photos and contacts, but for some reason I still have all the apps from after the backup date,and it also kept the notes from after the backup. The "reset all settings" option clearly says no loss of data or media, so I don't understand why some stuff got deleted. My question is, is there a way to get it back?

    If you still can find a recent backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices, use this one to restore from.
    If there are no recent backups listed, your data is gone. Only if you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine, you could be able to restore this folder and find one of your latest backups listed again.

  • Is reset all settings enough to restore factory settings or do I have to erase all content?

    Data works without problem on my phone, but sometimes phone calls and SMS messages act like the phone is not on the network. Calls go straight to Voicemail and SMS messages are not received.  Unless the phone is rebooted or turned off and on or a phone call is made, I won't get any notice of the voicemails or messages.  Again, data is fully connected over the LTE network (push email and iMessages come through without delay).
    AT&T blames the phone and told me I needed to reset.  I used "reset all settings' and not the "Erase All Content and Settings."  Have I fully reset the phone to the point were AT&T should recognize it is not the device and it's settings?

    It sounds like you are taking the right steps.  Resetting all Settings does return your phone to factory defaults without deleting any of your content.  This means you need to go into settings and turn on or off anything you had changed from factory default.
    Resetting Network Settings as razmee209 suggested is the next step.  You will need to re-enter any wifi ID's and passwords that you may have been using before.
    If none of this works, you may need to take the big step of restoring the phone as new and do not restore it from your backup.  This will remove all your apps and content so I would only do this as your last step if you cannot get the phone to work the way it should.
    There is also the possibility that you have a hardware fault that you might need to have an Apple Genius look at to make sure you do not have a broken phone. 

  • Reset all settings. how to recover all the bookmarks and add?

    Please, help.
    At one point, without my knowledge, reset all settings. How to restore all the tabs and add? It is very important to me! How could this happen and why? I did not do anything.

    If you have you have reset Firefox then a new profile is created and some personal data (bookmarks, history, cookies, passwords, form data) is automatically imported and the current profile folder will be moved to the desktop to an "Old Firefox Data" folder.<br />
    Installed extensions and other customizations (toolbars, prefs) that you have made are lost and need to be redone.
    If you otherwise created a new profile then check if there are still other profiles present
    You can use this button to go to the current Firefox profile folder and go back one level to go to the Firefox/Profiles/ folder.
