  • Does "Erase All Content and Settings" delete the carrier?

    I'd really like to start my phone over but I don't want to have to have to go to my dad after resetting it begging for him to call the carrier company and restart it.

    No, it will not delete the carrier information.

    Hey there MP1201,
    It sounds like you would like to reset your iPod Touch to factory settings but the Erase All Content and Settings function is not working. I would next try using iTunes to restore the iPod with this article:

  • Can The "Reset All Content and Settings" will remove ALL Apple Accounts?

    Good Day,
    My mom will give me a Second Hand iPhone 5s.She dont know/forget the Apple ID that its currently stored on the phone,and i said to sign out the apple ID there and she did it.
    Now my question is, Is the "Reset All Content and Settings" can delete/remove ALL Apple Accounts?
    I asked this question because, one time i read about a question here saying that when he reboot/update the phone that he didnt own first, said that the iPhone asked to input the ID that its installed/stored.
    Im curious,worried, and preparing some money to prepare for this.
    I hope someone can answer this Question within this week, so i can save money for repair etc.
    Thanks in Advance.

    No amount of money is going to change Activation Lock. If the device has iOS 7 and you restore it, then you will need the original Apple ID and password used to activate the phone to be able to activate it yourself.
    Reset All Content and Settings will not remove Activation Lock. Your mom is going to have to remember what Apple ID was used to activate the device, or it will be useless to you. Apple will not disable it.
    It is all on your mother right now.

  • Unlock iphone will get lock again if i do reset all content and settings???

    Unlock iphone will get lock again if i do reset all content and settings???

    I do not understand you question. From the Users Guide.
    Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    What do you mean by unlock?

  • HT201274 What exactly will happened if I reset all content and settings

    I upgraded this phone from someone else's old account bc I had info in their account I needed. Now I'm restricted from doing a lot of things because they're old passwords are still in the system how can I erase there're old IDs and passwords and change them to my own without losing all my contact information?

    If you erase all content and settings it will wipe the phone and there will be nothing on it.  If you want to change Apple IDs:
    For purchases, go to Settings>Store>Apple ID, tap the ID shown, sign out, sign back in with your ID
    For iMessage, go to Settings>Messages>Receive At, tap the ID at the top, sign out, sign back in with your ID
    For FaceTime, go to Settings>FaceTime, tap the ID, sign out, sign back in with your ID
    For iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up a new iCloud account on the phone with your Apple ID.
    For mail accounts, go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars, tap each account, scroll to the bottom and tap Delete Account.  Then set up your own.
    That should about do it.  Note: for app updates, if there are apps on the phone that were purchased with his ID you will need to delete these from the phone and from your iTunes library (if there) in order to not be prompted for the password for his ID.  (Apps are permanently tied to the Apple ID used to purchase them.)

  • Does erase all content and settings remove icloud?

    Hi everyone
    Apologies if this is a stupid question!
    I sold my iphone 5 today and used the erase all content and settings function to wipe the phone. My icloud account was turned off on the phone before this. I just want to make sure i have completely broken the link between my icloud and my old phone. I have logged into my icloud and my old phone is not under the list of devices or in find my iphone. The phone is also not linked to my support profile so does this mean i have completely de registered it?
    Many thanks in advance

    Yes.  Read here: What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.

  • Does Erase all contents and settings in 2.0.2 wipe the firmware updates?

    I am about to sell my ipod touch on ebay and to ensure that all my data is cleared I have used the erase all contents and settings option that 2.0.2 introduced. The question is does this return the touch back to the factory firmware (1.4 I think), unable to check without starting to sync new device to itunes again.

    I believe that option has been available since earlier firmware versions. My understanding is that it does not affect the software/firmware on the iPod. From what I've been told, once the iPod is updated to 2.x.x it is not possible to go backward to a 1.x.x version. If anyone's been able to do this successfully, please correct me. You should be able to hold 'Shift' when clicking Restore in iTunes, so you might try that to see if 1.1.4 is an option to restore the iPod to.

  • My IPAD 1 got frozen during resetting all content and settings for 5hrs.

    Hello Team,
    I went to reset everything, data content etc and the screen went black and there is a buffering circle, but it's been like this for like about 5 hours, I did have almost all 12 gb free but I don't think resetting takes this long does it?

    No it should not take that long. You probably need to restore your iPad by using recovery mode now. Read this.
    iPad: Unable to update or restore
    This is how the process goes.
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPad, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off iPad: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for iPad to turn off.
    If you cannot turn off iPad using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the iPad turns off, release the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons.
    While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to iPad. When you reconnect the USB cable, iPad should power on.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears you can release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the recovery mode alert that iTunes has detected an iPad in recovery mode.
    Use iTunes to restore iPad.
