What is lost when resetting all settings on iPad

What is lost when resetting all settings on ipad2

This is copied from the iPad User Guide for 4.3 - the book version that can be downloaded from iBooks.
Reset all settings:  Choose General > Reset > Reset All Settings.
Enter your passcode if you have one. All your settings are reset. Information (such as your contacts and calendars) and media (such as your songs and videos) aren’t deleted.
Essentially, you reset preferences like the way that you had brightness set, your home screen layout, WiFi settings, sounds, alerts, that type of thing. It will reset those things to the factory settings - just like it was out of the box.

  • What happens if I reset all settings?

    I was wondering what would happen if I choose to reset all settings? I was told that if I reset it all my ipod wouldn't crash as often as it is doing right now. What will I have to do again? What is going to be erased? And in what way will this help my ipod?

  • When resetting all settings remember to reset mail settings

    I had to do a reset all settings reset yesterday to get the music player controls to work in the control center and on the lock screen.  That worked fine. And I went back into settings and turned off all the battery killers but forgot to change email from push to manually fetch and it really killed my battery.  30% in an hour of just sitting on my desk locked. 
    Once I changed my email back to fetch the battery life if fine again.

    found it on the site.

  • Reset all settings on iPad but will not finish after 2 days!

    Tried to reset all settings and delete data on iPad so i could pass it on to my wife but it has got locked into resetting mode (little rotating dial in middle of black screen) for more than 24 hours and will not finish, nor will any buttons work nor will iTunes recognize it or my pc recognize it when I connect it with UsB

    Try to do hard reset. This won't delete your data stored on iPad.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
    Press and hold on the Home button
    Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.
    If this works in order to erase all date: Go to general settings/ choose reset/tap erase all content and settings

  • HT1212 reset all settings on ipad without password

    I want to gift my ipad and reset all settings but can't remember my password

    If you mean that you set a restrictions Passcode and you can't remember what it is in order to reset all settings - you have to restore the iPad as new.
    The only work around is if you have a backup that does not contain that Passcode, restore from that backup.

  • What happen to the Photo library when I choose Reset all Settings on my Ipad?

    I just wanna know what will happen to all of my photos if I choose Reset all Settings on the Ipad 2

    Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
    Reset All Settings does not delete anything, all it does is take most of the iPad's settings back to default (with the exception of accounts setting, and maybe a couple other things.) It is perfectly safe.
    The only inconvenience is that you have to go back through almost all your settings and set them to your preference.

  • 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.

  • I wanted to reset all settings in my phone, but it requires passcode. I forgot it, unfortunately. What can I do? I am using iphone 5s.

    I can't add video on instagram. It always fails. I read on the web that i shoul reset all settings. So I wanted to reset all settings. But it requires passcode. I forgot that passcode. What can I do? Is it possible to change that passcode?

    To change the passcode if you have forgotten it the only option is to Restore your iPhone to Factory settings by connecting it to iTunes on your computer. And you can try the below steps to Reset your iPhone settings without need of any passcode.
    Reset ( No Data will be lost )
    First Make sure the Battery of your iPhone is Charged and then press and Hold the On/Off switch (On top  of your iPhone) and the Home Button (Button at the bottom of your iPhone screen). Hold both the keys simultaneously for atleast 10 to 15 seconds and you should see an Apple Logo coming up on your screen, once you see the Apple logo you can then release both On/Off switch and Home button and wait for your iPhone's Home screen.
    After your iPhone is Reset try to do what you were trying and see if it works or else you will have to Backup your iPhone and then Restore your iPhone to fix your issue as Restoring device fixes many of the issues

    Did you follow the instructions here:

    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.

  • HT4623 when I want to Reset All Settings , my phone ask for Restrictions Passcode

    when I want to Reset All Settings , my phone ask for Restrictions Passcode , and i dont have no code on my phone

    It sounds like you have Restrictions enabled on your iPhone.   This is different than setting a lock code on the home screen.
    To view your restrictions, go to Settings -> General -> Restrictions.   You can see if there are any restrictions enabled on your phone from here.

  • My ipad mini refuses to join home wifi connection. It is trying to do so continuously but with no success. I tried to reset all settings. Switched wifi off and then back on. Nothing works. The rest of devices are fine with the wifi. What shall I do next?

    My ipad mini refuses to join home wifi connection. It is trying to do so continuously but with no success. I tried to reset all settings. Switched wifi off and then back on. Nothing works. The rest of devices are fine with the wifi. What shall I do next?

    Maybe reboot your router. Unplug it for about 30 seconds or so and then plug it back in. Reboot your iPad while the router is powering up.
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
