  • Is there anyway to reset ipad passcode without having to restore the factory settings?

    My little brother has locked himself out of his ipad. Although I am aware we can restore the factory settings he would very much like to save his photos.
    The ipad has never been synced or backed up.
    Is there anyway to do this?

  • I've added to ios6 to my new ipod touch with no problems. I'm trying to now restore the factory settings but the screen is frozen with an itunes sign and lead pointing towards it. The ipod won't even switch off. Can anyone help as it's driving me crazy

    I've added ios6 to my new ipod but tried then to restore the factory settings. It won't extract any settings and the itunes then tells me that the server cannot be reached or is unavailable. I've been trying all day. Now the ipod has a itunes sign and a computer lead pointing towards it on the screen and this is frozen. It won't switch off or do anything else. Any ideas as this is now driving me crazy.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    I'm having trouble with the develop module in LR5.4. Any adjustments are taking effect, but only viewable in the filmstrip, not on the main photo. The navigator will go grey, as does the main area too. This applies to all edits done in develop module. I have posted several times on the forum with no responses to address this, and have seen others with the same issue. I have even gone as far as to do a complete re-install of LR5, with no success. I'm at a loss, and I depend on it for so much editing. Please help.

    You have to choose – one settigf or another.
    The thing is.your HD clips will look better in an SD project than your SD clips will in an HD project.
    WIthout knowing much more about your project and the kind of content, it's really hard to be specific. But generally I'd let my project settings be guided by what fraction of my timeline will be made up of HD clips and how much SD clips. If it's 75% HD, I'd probably do an HD project…and so on,
    Good luck.

  • Trouble Restoring to Factory Settings

    My iPod hasn't been working for about a week now. I have been trying to connect it to iTunes to restore the factory settings, but iTunes sometimes doesn't recognize it OR it says that I am not connected to the internet - though I am. My iPod is still connected to the computer and still says "Do Not Disconnect" though nothing productive has been happening.
    Any advice would be appreciated.

  • How can I restore the factory setting on my ipod without knowing the passcode

    My friend gave me his old iPod because he had gotten a new one, but he doesn't remember the passcode to it and I wanted to know if I could restore the factory settings on the iPod to reset the passcode without knowing the passcode. Tried to find the removable device on my computer, but it isn't there. Any thoughts?!?

    I need to restore the factory settings for my I phone

    To restore your iDevice, you have two options.
    1. Plug into iTunes and select your device and click restore.
    2. On your iPhone, go to Settings>General>Reset, and click which one you would like to use.
    If your device is locked up and you can't get into it,
    1. Open iTunes
    2. Power Down your Device
    3 hold down your home button and plug in the device to the computer at the same time
    4. Keep holding until your device shows the Plug into iTunes image.
    5. On iTunes, click restore
    Wait for the device to restore to factory settings and your done!

  • How to restore the factory settings

    The ap 3502i has been registered to the wireless controller, but now want to restore the factory settings, repeated after the upgrade or will appear before the registration information of the wireless controller, the problem how to solve
    thanks

    Two other ways besides what scott metnioned:
    1. Through the MODE button:
    - Power off the AP.
    - While keeping the MODE button pressed, power on the AP.
    - Still keep the MODE button pressed until the Status LED turns to red and then release it:
    2. Via installing the recovery image:
    - Download the recovery image for 3500 from Cisco site.
    - on AP Console write the command "Debug capwap console cli".
    - Then write the commadn "Archive download-sw /overwrite /reload tftp:///"

    By the way, a full uninstallation and reinstallation is a bit heavy-handed and is not always necessary.
    Keep in mind that with Photoshop CS6 the Plug-ins subfolder is now normally completely empty.  So to undo an inappropriate copy of plug-ins generally you can just delete all the copied plug-ins and that will restore proper Photoshop CS6 operation.
    Then you can reinstall your needed 3rd party plug-ins one by one.
