Resetting of settings in icloud

Settings are being reset, ie. Turned off although it has been set to on in the setting page. After resetting, the customised ringtones also needs to reset every time. Same thing happened to calendar entry and also find my iPhone. Is this a bug for iOS 7.0.3 as I think I noticed this either after the iOS 7.0.2 or .3 patch. Is there a fix as there were no such issues in iOS 6.

The following indicates that if you use iCloud to erase the device and then remove it from your account it would then be usable: The quote below is from If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch is lost or stolen
If you remove the device from your account after you erase it, Activation Lock will be turned off. This allows another person to activate and use your device.

Hi. I tried to change my old icloud account on a new one. After reset the settings I need to enter my old Apple ID account and password, that I don't remember.

I do not remember it because when I bought the my iPhone 4s in 2011 I didn't understand how it works and asked a representative to set it up for me. The representative helped me and gave a piece of paper with login and password but I lost it a long time ago.
Before resetting the settings I turned off "Find my iPhone" function, but it anyway asks me to enter my old Apple ID and password. I have the original box, documents, receipt. So how can I solve this problem?

Help! Upload 8.1 on my iPad 2 and now I can't get any wifi nor can I reset any settings. When I try to go on my iCloud it is all greyed out and no longer recognizes my password.

I also can't turn off "Find my iPad" on iTunes in order to do a restore.

Try a reset first. Hold down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time until the Apple logo appears on the screen. It takes about 10 seconds. After the iPad restarts, see if you can get into your settings.

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!

My wifi wasn't working for more than 10 minutes at a time after updating to IOS8 and resetting network settings. I turned off google drive, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings and rebooted my iPad4. So far so good.

I have an ipad4. Wifi keeps cutting out after the upgrade even after I forget the network and resign on or reset all network settings. I deleted iCloud drive from my iPad, turned off Bluetooth, reset network settings, and rebooted my iPad. Since I upgraded to IOS8 this is the longest wifi has consistently been working for me. Which is approximately an hour now. Anyone else find that this worked or have figured out if this or anything out there is a permanent fix?

Hi CollinGCC78,
It sounds like you have been on the right track in troubleshooting this issue. If you are still having issues, you may want to double-check the steps outlined in the following article, in order if possible (apologies for replicating any steps you have already taken):

I reset network settings on my iPhone. However now it looks as if my iPhone and iPad are no longer linked. They are both connected to my apple account but when I send an imessage from one it is not picked up by the other. What do I do?

Check Settings > Messages > Send & Receive on both your iPhone and your iPad to make sure that the following are all true:
(1) you have selected the same Apple ID on both devices,
(2) you have the same entries checked under "You can be reached by iMessage at:" on both devices,
(3) you have the same entry checked under "Start new conversations from:" on both devices,
and
(4) that the entry checked in #3 is one of those checked in #2 on both devices.
When you say it has affected your iCloud account, what effect has it had?

I reset my settings and now it says my phone needs to be activated

I just reset my settings on my iPhone 4s. I then restored everything from iCloud. Now it keeps saying my phone isn't activated. It's been a few hours already. What do I do?

Need a little more info.
What carrier are you using?
Is there a sim card in your phone?

"Erase data" vs "Reset all settings"... do both erase Restrictions?

I would like to prevent my son from resetting his iPhone, thus erasing the Restrictions (General>Restrictions) I have set.
I think that he can't use the Reset function (Settings>General>Reset) without knowing his iCloud password (which he does not know).
But what about the "Erase all data" function (Settings>General>Passcode Lock>Erase Data) when one enters a Passcode wrong 10 times? Would that also erase the Restrictions? And if so, is there anything to prevent that from being done?
It looks as if that feature can be turned off, so that 10 Passcode attempts does not erase the data, but there is nothing to prevent a person from going in and turning that feature back on.
Thanks!

Note: If you lose or forget a restriction passcode, you will need to perform a factory restore to remove it.
The above comes from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4213
However, performing a factory restore would turning off Find My iPhone on the device, which disables Activation Lock. This is described here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
But ... turning off Find My iPhone requires the Apple ID and password, which you say is not available!
So, you're safe!!

Cannot reset my Email for iCloud acct on iPhone

I get a message to reset or edit my settings in iCloud but when I go to account the email is gray. I do have a new email for AppleID and Ipad is ok also. Only iPhone is problem.
Under restrictions I have allow changes checked.

Hello,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you have recently changed your email address associated with Apple ID, and are now experiencing issues with iCloud. It sounds like the new address has not yet been verified. Let’s check, and if not verified, go ahead and do so:

UPDATE #2:
I chatted with Ashley from Apple Support yesterday and she suggested me to restore the phone and set it up AS NEW, NOT restore from backup.
And it worked!
Of course, you have to back up everything, but I have my contacts, notes, and pictures on iCloud. All I did was merge them back to the phone from iCloud Setting.
One downside: you'll lose all text messages. But it's worth it.
So, thank you, Ashley!

Why 'reset all settings' asking me to restore from backup

My 'facetime' stopped working for some reason. I did use facetime just a day ago and didn't do changes since then. For some reason it stopped working. So, as per my wife's advice, I did 'Reset all settings'. But, for some reason after doing its thing it is asking me to 'Set Up iPhone' with these options:Set Up as New iPhone, Restore from iCloud Backup, Restore from iTunes Backup. This scared me...did I lose my media. I have tons of videos and pictures of my son. I didn't want to lose them. So, I jsut stopped proceeding. Can some one help me?

I wouldn't go through the restore process yet, might as well set it up as a new phone( this basically tells the phone you want it as is [which in this case is full of data]) then see what you get, if there is no data then you can always do the restore from a backup
Incorrect. Restore as new does just that, it wipes the phone and returns it to it's new out of the box condition with no data or settings.
It's not asking him to restore as new, re-read it. It is asking him to setup as new. Which is a common occurance when you reset all settings, even though it doesn't delete data from the phone.
So OP, you can do what randers4 wrote and spend some time going through the restore process, or you can tap on setup as new and check it out in 1 minute to see if the data is there. Whichever you do, I'm sure you will be fine. If you do setup as new and the data is not there, then proceed to restore from a backup.

Resetting your settings on your iPhone will not erase you contacts, this just resets your phone settings and does not do anything with the data or content stored in your phone. Also if you have iCloud, your contacts automatically store onto iCloud, and will keep them up to date if you were to, say restore the phone to factory settings

Everything is on in settings 4 iCloud except notes

Everything is on in settings 4 iCloud except notes & mail. Every time I try 2 create me.com for mail & notes after turning them on in setting. Screen appears create me.com I hit create enter my apple ID & always get the same message UNABLE TO TURN ON MAIL, TRY AGAIN LATER. HAPPENING SINCE I UPGRADED ON THE RELEASE DAY...NEED HELPPPPP.

Do you have an active data connection (wifi or cellular)? Have you tried resetting the phone by pressing and holding the Home and power buttons until the apple appears (this is different than just turning it off and back on).

Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
