Time taken to clear content and data

I have just cleared the content and data from my 64G Ipad1, and it has been showing the Apple icon with progress bar (with no progress at all) for the past 3 hours. May I enquire how long does it usually take??
THe ipad does not respond at all now and it worries me. Is it normal??
Thanks in advance for the inputs.

It shouldn't take but a minute or two.
You need to restore the device.

Unfortunately yes, though technology would never move on if it kept to older standards and did not strive to do more.
The app store always gives you the option to use a previous version of the app IF it is available for your device.
Sorry but you are stuck without new hardware.

Should i "Remove All Website Data" as well as clear Cookies and Data off my iPad

Should I "Remove All Website Data" as well as Clear Cookies and data?

Not for normal everyday use.
Would you have a specific reason to do so? If not, don't bother.

How can i delete content and data in iphone5 i bought wherein the previous owner forgot his icloud password?

I bought an iphone5 from a friend and I want to delete his content and data from the phone but he cannot remember his password, how can I reset this iphone?

open the Settings app, then click General, then scroll all the way down and click Reset, then click Erase All Content and Settings.
Which will not work if he doesn't know the password for the Apple ID used in iCloud for Find My iPhone.

Erasing content and data on iPhone 5.

I sold my iPhone 5 and I erased all content and data using the option found in the Settings tab and after that, the person told me he wanted me to activate it for him using my sim card, because he had a phone that didn't have the nano sim card. So, I activated again and then, he told me to turn it off first before removing the sim card. I'm not sure why he asked this, but I wanted to make sure this wasn't anything sketchy. After that, I went to the ATT store to get my nano sim card replaced to a standard sim card, because my old phone doesn't accept the nano sim. Am I okay? Or do I need to worry about something? He's a professor at my university, so I don't think I need to worry, but just need reassurance. Thanks.

There is no data stored on the SIM beyond account information. Once a new SIM is activated on the account, old SIMs are deactivated.
No, there is nothing to be concerned with.

Purchased Content and Data Transfers

I had a few questions regarding purchased content (i.e. apps, music, movies) and data transfers:
1. Can you re-download purchased apps for free or do you have to purchase them again?
2. Can you re-download purchased movies and music if the data is lost or do you have to purchase them again?
3. I noticed every time you download a movie it prompts you to backup the data with discs. I practically never use discs and most of the time, I have a large amount of purchased data that simply will not fit on DVD-Rs. Is it possible to backup data via external hard-drives? Is there an export option in iTunes to do this or do you have to go into the physical path which it's located?
4. Can you sync purchased content with multiple devices? For instance, I have a 32GB iTouch and an iPhone, would I be able to sync the same data for both of these devices or am I restricted to one?
5. How many computers can you have data synced with? For instance, I have five computers and a soon-to-be MacBook. How many computers can I have the same data synced up to?
I tried looking around for this information, but didn't have much luck finding it. Apple doesn't seem to clearly define these parameters unless there is a link one of you might have that discusses these issues. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Redownload for free, assuming still available in the store.
2. Can you re-download purchased movies and music if the data is lost or do you have to purchase them again?
You are not entitled to a repeat download of any media item. Sometimes unfortunate users are granted a one-time only repeat download if they ask nicely but don't count on it.

Yes, you can backup to external drives or network shares however iTunes has no system for managing this. You just need to copy the files from their source folders, either manually or....
*Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)*
Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronise or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organised below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.
4. Can you sync purchased content with multiple devices? For instance, I have a 32GB iTouch and an iPhone, would I be able to sync the same data for both of these devices or am I restricted to one?
You can sync the content to as many iPods/iPhones/iPads as you like. Each device can hold protected content from up to five different accounts at any one time.
5. How many computers can you have data synced with? For instance, I have five computers and a soon-to-be MacBook. How many computers can I have the same data synced up to?
You can authorise protected content on up to five different computer systems at any one time. Virtual machines count as separate systems as do computers with reformatted drives or, perhaps, certain hardware changes. Ideally you should deauthorise a computer before any major upgrade. If you are no longer able to access one of your systems but need to release the authorisation then, if you have five active authorisations you can deauthorise all of them together, however you may not then repeat this preocess for 12 months.
Protected content can only be transfered to a device when the computer is authorised. Devices may be manually managed from a number of computers but may only be automatically synced with one. Syncing is a one way process as far as media is concerned, library to device, but certain metadata such as play count and rating flows in both direction. With manual managment such metadata is not copied.
I tried looking around for this information, but didn't have much luck finding it. Apple doesn't seem to clearly define these parameters unless there is a link one of you might have that discusses these issues. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
No problem, that's what these forums are for... The information is probably spread around a number of support articles but I don't have the individual links to hand. Feel free to ask if you want more details though.

Business Content and Data Sources automatic binding

Hi,
I am not clear about the Data Sources and Business Content sync.
If I transfer the datasources in SBIW(RSA5) and replicate in BW, how it will automatically bind to the infosources and data targets when we activate the relevant infoobjects in BW Business content. As part of Business content activation, will it search for datasources and bind to it automatically? What steps are needed in order to make the everything hooked up correctly?
Can anyone clarify to me how it works? Please explain step-by-step.
Thanks.

Is there any addiotional things we need to do at info source level after activating the content? Selecting the correct data source etc.
If there is a enhancement to the extraction structure then what all steps manually we need to do at info source level? When we replicate the data source which has been enhanced, will it create the infoobjects automatically so that they can be used in infosource communication structure?
As I am new to the system, I am running in to all these questions.
Appreciate any help in step by step how things will work.
Thanks.

HT201274 If i use the "Erase all Content and Data" button can I put an app back on the phone that is no longer in the app store but is store on the itunes in my computer?

I have an app, no longer in the app store, that i want to keep an iphone i'm getting rid of. I backed up the iphone on itunes and deleted all data, but the app, manually. I want to erase all data, and then put the app back on the phone. Please advise. Thanks

Then as I said you can do an Erase All Content and Settings which will wipe the phone. Completely. In order to add a game from your iTunes you will have to activate the iPhone with your Apple ID and then sync the game. You don't have to sync anything else. But you will need to sell the phone with your Apple ID on it.

Cleared content and settings in iPod touch, now computer says it has malfunctioned

My ipod touch was working perfectly fine, but i was going to give it to a friend and so i decided to go into settings and clear the content and settings, so that it was a fresh ipod. Well now it says connect to iTunes, but when i connect it to the computer it says that "USB device not recognized: the Device has malfunctioned and cannot be recognized" something like that. And then it says it failed to install drivers and disconnects. I do not know what is wrong and why it wont connect to my computer and iTunes.
I need some help.

Yes. So try the following to et iTunes to see the iPod;
- Place the iPod in recovery mode. See:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
- Place the iPod in DFU mode.

Nope.

retrievable
