iPad is it safe to do a Reset All Settings ?

[vish26]

Hi Guys,

I have the New iPad (Third Generation) I need to do a Reset All settings for some reason. I was worried if I do so would it by any chance cause any harm to the Display or the hardware of the Device in any ways ?

Thanks

You will be fine. Apple would never include a button or setting that can damage the device. make sure you backup your iPad first.

Lol you're fine. That'll be the day though, when Apple decides to add a self destruct button to it.

I mean what exactly I meant was it will not cause any probelm to the Retina Display of my iPad- 3 right ?

All you are doing is re-setting your ipad to factory settings, from where it can be set up as new again....I will be erasing my 3 in preparation for my 4 on Friday...When the buyer gets it, he will see the setup screen we all have when a device is out of the box. You will not damage your device in any way...I've done 4 phones and this will be my third iPad...It's fine.

Is this the same as connecting the iPad to iTunes and do a restore ?

You're referring to "Erase All Content and Settings" where as the OP is just talking about "Reset All Settings". The latter doesn't remove any personal info. All it does is make all settings return to their default.

If you use the "Erase All Content and Settings", then yes, it's just like restoring in iTunes.
