Reset iPhone 5 to factory defaults

On the iPhone 5, does "Settings / General / Reset / Erase All content and Settings" restore the iPhone to factory defaults, or just reset the settings but not actually delete all data &/or set back to factory settings?
Thanks!

If your current device has an iOS version that's older than the one used when making a backup, then you won't be able to perform a restore.  The fix is easy, simply update the iOS of your device to the most current one and perform the restore again.
BTW, a restore does not involve the iOS.

  • I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer. Any ideas?

    I made the mistake of resetting my iPod to factory defaults. Now it will only partially sync to my music library. I continually get an error message saying that certain songs are not authorized for my computer, although they are in the iTunes library on the computer and will play. It's these songs that won't transfer to the iPod. I have deauthorized and re-authorized the computer but no joy. Any ideas?

    Hello there DesertRat71,
    I was thinking that some of the songs in your library may have been purchased under a different apple id. You have already done the first thing I would have done by de authorizing and re authorizing. To verify this, highlight one of the songs that will not sync over and use File>Get Info. Here is the help menu link for it if you need it help://bookmark='https://help.apple.com/itunes/mac/11.0/help/index.html?localePa th=English.lproj#itns2937'
    In the Summary section there will be an Apple ID entry. If it shows something different than what you are currently using then I recommend signing into the Apple ID it shows and authorizing the computer for that one as well.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • After reset iphone 4 to factory setting, i can't charge my hp

    Hi,
    I resetted iphone 4 to factory setting so i can pass it to my brother since i brought a new iphone 5.  But when my brother took over this iphone 4, he can't charged the iphone & it seems that the battery can't hold the power.   Tried using both charger & USB, the same problem persisted.   Does anybody experience such problom?  thanks.
    Regards,

    I tried that but I still got the message "Unable to verify account information."  I saved it anyway and when I go to the Exchange email account it says "Cannot Get Mail" "The connection to the server failed."  We are running Microsoft Exchange 2010 and I was always able to sync my calendar and email before I upgraded to IOS 6.

  • Reset Aironet 1231 to factory default

    I have a (old) 1231 that I would like to reuse, but no one remembers the password.  Anyone know how to recover a password from this model AP or how to reset the device to factory default?
    Thanks in advance -

    Hi Kristin,
    Here is a link that will help you reset the ap.

    There is no way to change the password, without logging into the ap. So you will need to reset it..

  • Reset FC 3510 to Factory Defaults

    I am trying to configure a Storedge 3500 however I am unable to access the device by using sccli. Is there anyway for me to access the controller configuration and channel settings without using a serial cable. I tried to use ethernet but the IP address of the controller is not configured. Basically all I want to do is just get it back to its factory defaults. Is there anyway to force it to reset? I tried to tip hardwire but it just sat there saying connected. Thanks in advance for your help!

    Sorry about the confusion. It is a 3510 FC array. I've tried to tip into it with a serial cable both from the server and from a laptop with no luck. I know im using the right settings and the cable is good because I was able to tip into our other system's raid with no problems at all. I've tried sccli, tip, terminal session from windows laptop and the lan connection all with no results. I'm not really worried about data loss so I'm willing to do whatever it takes to get these controllers working again. Also I noticed that both controllers are giving me an amber light in the back where the status is indicated however our working systems has one blinking green and one solid green. Thanks, this raid is really starting to be a pain for me.

  • Resetting iphone 4 to factory settings

    Hello. I have an iphone 4 work phone. I need to reset the settings to its orignal factory settings. In order to do so, the phone requires me to put in a 4 digit pin. It is not the pin I created to use my phone when it locks or the last 4 digits of my phone number. Can anyone let me know how I can erase and reset the phone before giving it to my employer? thanks.

    You can always use Recovery Mode. You'll need access to a computer with iTunes downloaded & installed.
