How do I restore my iPad to factory settings?

Best Answers

It is just as simple to restore your iPad Mini without iTunes. Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap on Erase All Content and Settings. You'll then be asked if you want to continue; after the confirmation, your iPad Mini will reset and the Apple logo together with a loading bar will appear on screen. read more

Click Restore again to confirm. Then iTunes erases your device and installs the latest iOS or iPod software. After your device restores to factory settings, it restarts. Now you can set it up as new. read more

If you are planning on selling your iPad, or even giving it to a family member, you will want to reset the iPad to the factory default settings. This will wipe your iPad, erasing the settings and data, and returning it to the exact state as when you first opened the box. read more

You can repeat this process later by restoring the iPad to "factory default", which means the status of the iPad when it left the factory. This process wipes all data and settings from the iPad before restoring it to factory default, which makes it a great troubleshooting step. read more
