Delete videos you don't care for.

That was exactly what I needed to know and superbly explained, I particularly like the subtlety of knowing where to pick up the video if you had already backed up. Thank you from England.

I wish all Mac & iOS tutorials were as helpful as yours. Outstanding!

Finally! A video that is clear and to the point, without the needless rhetoric. THANK YOU!! Everything worked perfectly.

Best I’ve heard yet, many don’t even think about backup before closing out their device. As some information stored on one may not be on other device owned. Thanks!

Very helpful video, even a tech-challenged grandmother can do this following your instructions

IF you just log out of your icloud on the ipad, "find my ipad" function is automatically logged out

One of the best videos answering a specific question I’ve ever seen. Go to Apple and you can be led all over trying to find how to do this without connecting to iTunes, which assumes you have iTunes handy. This shows there is no need for all that connect to your computer nonsense. I also appreciate the notr saying skip to 3:16 if you have a backup. Very thoughtful. Now on IOS 13 I’m faced with “documents and data are uploading to I cloud”. Which makes no sense since I already have turned off iCloud backup and find my iPhone. Sigh...

when I try to do this instead of asking for my passcode it wants my Apple ID and i dont know it

Very informative. Only complaint is that everything goes by very fast so I had to pause several times. At least this is better than most videos that are painfully slow.

Gonna be doing this when I know I can use the iPad my sister got for volleyball because I don’t know if the iPad is my yet

This is what I also love about Apple products. It‘s so easy to make them ready for sale. Resetting windows on the other hand can be a real pain

i needed to do this so i can sell my ipad, because i dont use it and i need money

Hi there, I have 3 iPads and one iPhone. They all sync and backed up through iCloud. My question is if I do a factory reset to one iPad, will it erase the pictures in my other iPad and iPhone? I love to hear your answer, thanks
