After factory reset information shared across devices won't load

Hello. I recently did a factory reset on my MacBook Air. I backed up my iphoto library and itunes library to external hard drive and was able to load those fine. But I am still having a problem with syncing media and data across devices. Maybe I'm missing something? I set up my icloud; the contacts, address book, etc. seemed to have loaded all the data. BUT: the information that is supposed to load through sharing across my ipad, iphone 5 is not loading. I thought the itunes would load my music just based on the sharing, but it is a good thing I backed it up. Things like ibooks, and the most recent photos I have taken on my iphone are not loaded.
Please help: I need to know how get all my devices sharing again, and/or pushing media through itunes
Any tips would be welcome. Thanks.

Information that is 'shared' via icloud includes calendar events, contacts, todo items, notes, and safari bookmarks. Music that is on an iOS device isn't shared. If it is music you purchased from the Apple iTunes store you can redownload it or it can be moved from the device by using the Transfer Purchases option of the iTunes File menu when your phone is connected to the computer via the cable. iOS apps can also be transferred to the computer this way. New pictures will sync when the phone/iPad is physically connected but I'm not certain how old pictures that exist on the iOS device but not on the computer are handled. You may need to use a third party program to transfer these old pictures - as well as music not purchased from the iTunes store.

  • No audio, after factory reset,flash install,SoundMax & HDA audio drivers won't install

    My problems are:
    No sound with Youtube or the laptop itself
    SoundMax won't install either though I downloaded HDA audio drivers it requested.
    Flash download stuffed up my SoundMax after factory reset.
    I decided to do a factory reset after Youtube starting slowing down. After reset it (Youtube) kind of worked better
    then the audio disappeared from the laptop. The drivers, SoundMax Audio was gone (greyed out).
    I downloaded the Audio driver from Lenovo website for my X31 but SoundMax install wouldn't install because it kept saying HDA Audio drivers weren't installed.
    I downloaded it from here:
    http://support.lenovo.com/en_AU/research/hints-or-tips/detail.page?&DocID=HT072373
    So I went to HP site to download HDA audio drivers, then the SoundMax Audio reappeared and I had sound on my computer.
    HDA Audio drivers link at HP website (since Lenovo doesn't have it):
    http://h20565.www2.hp.com/portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?cc=US&lang=en&swItem...
    When I downloaded latest Adobe Flash, the SoundMax Audio disappeared again. So at the moment I have Youtube video without sound (and Firefox keeps telling me to download Flash?)
    No sound on IE as well.
    Would appreciate your help. Thank you very much.
    I'm using:
    ThinkPad X31 (2673-QU6)
    Based on 2673-N7G
    Win XP Pro Service 3 with recent updates
    Firefox (latest) with add-ons
    Solved!

    You need to install the modem driver too.

  • Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.

    Cisco 7941G phones will not boot up after factory reset.
    The following happens.
    1. Speaker light lit (Green)
    2. Phone displays a firmware upgrade page (see attachment) for a few minutes. (Doesn't seems to be upgrading, but it "saids" upgrading)
    3. Saw Cisco logo with a Java Powered page.
    4. The whole thing loops again and again...
    I think the reason why the phone isn't booting up is because the phone needs to know where to find the configuration/firmware files from a tftp server. I do have a TFTP server, but normally I need to go in settings to change the alternative tftp server, but the thing is that now I can't even press the settings button...
    Please help.

    How many phones were reset and upgrading at one time? What is the setting of the TFTP Maximum Serving Count (Advanced TFTP Service Parm) on each of the TFTP servers?
    Sounds like too many devices trying to use TFTP at once.

  • Data recovery after factory reset

    I have seen people write that data recovery was possible after factory reset below the jelly bean OS versions on android but iphone is impossible.
    So I wonder what is security technology for data protection on iphone.
    Let me know security technology. (data encryption, data fromat algorithm, whatever about data protection)

    Follou-up..... reading other questions/answers on this forum seem to indicate I'll have to "cherry pick" specific saved data items from the desktop "Shortcut to System Recovery Files" --- a long process.   Is there a quicker way???

  • Time capsule setting up problem after factory reset

    What's the next step after factory reset to set up my time capsule again???
    i did factory reset for 4-5 times and i cant use my time capsule to create a network, join an existing network or anything else.
    i also tried normal reset but still nothing can be done.
    There is always a message at the end " an unexpected error occured. Try again"

    Plug the TC into the computer by ethernet..
    Make sure the computer has no other network running and nothing else is plugged into the TC.. just TC Lan port to the computer ethernet.
    Now press reset and open airport utility.
    Generally you will have no issue once it is isolated. Do the setup and then you can disconnect and put it back in the network.
    If it doesn't work, is the LED on the TC flashing amber or what??
    Is the ethernet port connectivity LED on?

  • Recovering data after factory reset (security issue)

    Hello there,
    Recently a friend of mine asked me how to erase all data on an iPhone ? I pointed to him to "factory reset".
    Now, I see a bunch of websites that show how to recover data after factory reset using their software, not sure if they work as advertised or not.
    What I would like to know is if the user wants the data to be erased and non-recoverable, is this the best option or if there is any other option available in iPhone that can make the data un-recoverable. We want to make sure the data is un-recoverable after factory reset.
    thanks
    Ashish Shah

    unfortunately this doesn't answer my question.
    I do know the option to "erase all content and settings" in iPhone.
    What I want to know is to make sure once done, no one can recover that data back. Since this phone will be sold off to some stranger, we don't want them to have access to the data.
    Here are a few websites from my just preliminary search results that show how to recover data.
    just google "extracting data after factory reset iPhone" and you will see a bunch of websites offering their products to recover. So I want to check if this is so simple, how can we really make sure the data is wiped off clean.

  • Droid RAZR not restarting after factory reset

    Hi,
    I just switched from my old Droid 4 to my sister's old Droid RAZR, which she had no problems with when she last used it. After switching my number over and such, I decided to do a factory reset to wipe off all her information. However, now it won't restart and it's been over an hour since I did the factory reset. It just sits at the eye-looking page and doesn't go any further. Any suggestions on what to do?

        Hi ejackson18,
    I'm sorry to hear that your reset is stuck. I definitely want to get the phone working for you again! Are you able to try the Alternate Methode instead?

  • Blank Screen after factory reset 7911 phone

    Hello guys,
    I had a weird issue on an 7911 ip phone. It was connected to my network and on the display of the phone was saying "ethernet disconnected".
    What i did was a soft and a hard reset using 123456789*0# and then 3497672850*# following the guidelines of a conversation in the forum
    https://supportforums.cisco.com/thread/2166581
    After the factory reset the device has a blank screen (I left it for more than an hour connected on the network bearing in mind that some processes might be loading in the background and the firmware will load at some point..that didn't happen) and it is unable to receive an ip address ("show ip dhcp bindings", shows nothing related to the mac address of that device).
    To eliminate the possibility that the problem might be on the network card of the phone, i've factory reset a working phone using the above described procedure.
    I had the same problem with that phone too.
    Are there are any log commands that i can use to further investigate my issue?  (I can't see any logs using "terminal monitor"command)
    I am using call manager express 4.3.0 on a cisco 2800 router.

    Dragan,
    I tried what you suggested with no luck.
    What i noted is that, when i plug the power adapter on the phone and connect the ethernet cable on the switch port of the phone (the other end goes to a d-link small switch) the light on the small d-link switch doesn't come up. However if i plug the ethernet cable on the pc port of the phone the light goes green. I checked it with two phones that i've factory reset and it is the same problem.
    What i understood from this, is that the pc is unable to retrieve an ip from the dhcp server and the necessary option 150 to locate the tftp server and retrieve the necessary firmware.
    Gordon, due to the above mentioned problem i can't proceed with wireshark since i don't have network connectivity between the phone and my workstation.
    Guys, do you have any alternatives that i can give a try?
    Thanks a banch!

  • Help!! please email setup requesting enterprise activation after factory reset

    after i did a factory reset i notice my email set up is requesting enterprise activation email and password i don't have either so now my email setup can't work unless i do it and my native browser won't connect and blackberry protect won't work. i registered the blackberry thru hosting and i got your blackberry is registered but i can't get the other apps to work since i need the enterprise activation.

    i got the phone from ebay so i don't know if it's on BES and as far as a blackberry data plan i have verizon prepaid and i activated the phone thru them with no problem and i signed up for BIS with no issues but i don't remember the password to get the service books sent to my phone. the phone just stop working a couple of days ago i have had it since october with no issues until now. the first thing i notice was i stopped getting email and it said my service was blocked so i did a battery pull that didn't work. then i did a security swipe and now i can't access the email setup or the browser and it says that i don't have a data plan needed to use it which i don't get since i have had no problems since october. i was told on by someone that maybe i was over my data but i just looked and saw i wasn't and it rolled back since i paid on the 24. this is like the 3rd incident since switching from post paid to prepaid it is making me want to switch carriers

  • After factory reset the phone encounters an error.

    I recently upgraded so I decided to reset my old cell to factory settings. The old device is a Droid HD Maxx. After the restart the small android comes up with the front open and the little blue ball swirls and it says erasing. After a few moments it goes black and then followed by another smaller android robot but this time he is laying on his back with the front open and this time there is a red triangle with and exclamation. Is this fixable or is it pretty much just a fancy paper weight now?

        I apologize for the faulty link, RieJL. I appreciate you taking the steps that you have so far as the link was going to direct you to same boot menu. If the device will not advance past the boot screen even when accessing the boot menu then the software has become corrupt and is not retrievable. I apologize for the inconvenience.
    Thank you,

  • Cannot connect to TC, even after factory reset

    I bought a 1TB TC from apple in 08/2008. I don't recall if it was a refurb or not. It worked fine for 4.5 years with more or less no problems. About a month or two ago the Wi-Fi stopped working. I could connect to the SSID, but occasionally could not get an internet connection without cycling the power of the modem and TC. Finally, the cycling trick stopped working, and while I could connect to the TC I couldn't get internet. I switched to the WiFi capabilties that my Comcast modem had (as I didn't have time to address the issue then). I've finally gotten around to trying to fix it and could not find the TC via WiFi. I attempted a hard reset, but holding the reset button (while under power) did not make the yellow light flash, even after 30 seconds. I then performed a factory reset by holding the reset button while plugging in the TC. The light flashed, indicating the factory reset occurred.
    After the factory reset I still cannot:
    -Find the TC via WiFi
         I attempted using both my previous SSID and searching for the default "Apple Network XXXXXX" signal. No dice.
    -Find the TC via Ethernet
         I attempted to connect my MBP directly to the ethernet port (<--->) on the TC but the red light remains on the Ethernet in Network Settings (Status: Cable Unplugged. Either the cable for Ethernet is not plugged in or the device at the other end is not responding). I verified the cable works by connecting the ethernet cable to the cable modem and instantly getting the green "connected" light and an internet connection.
    -Find the TC via Airport Utility
         The TC did not appear, even when plugged in directly with the ethernet cable.
    I'm not sure if this is a firmware issue or what. The lights turn on the front and in the LEDs above the ethernet jacks in the back during power/start up but is otherwise unresponsive. I cannot attempt a firmware update as I cannot connect to the TC by WiFi/Ethernet, let alone through the Airport utilitiy.
    I'm not sure if this is relevant or helpful but the TC is also making a ticking/hissing slightly faster than once a second as if the drive is being accessed.
    Can anyone help!?! I have quite a drive to an apple store and I'm sure what they would charge to mail in and fix it would be excessive.
    Many karma points await anyone that can help!!! Thanks in advance for your time!

    The power supply is dead.
    Solid amber could also be a dead hard disk.
    Apple will not fix it and do not supply parts for anyone else to fix them.
    It is really no longer economic to repair unless you can DIY. And even then if the hard disk is gone then it really is a waste.. just buy a replacement.
    See https://sites.google.com/site/lapastenague/a-deconstruction-of-routers-and-modem s/apple-time-capsule-repair
    I have given several methods.. some rough but very cheap to repair the TC.
    Otherwise it is just time to buy a new one.. or IMHO a Gen4 is an excellent buy.. second hand or from your local apple refurbish store.

  • Can't activate prepaid phone after factory reset

    My prepaid galaxy legend was recently acting really weird, being super slow, and freezing. So I decided to do a factory reset, well after I selected to do the factory reset and it reset and everything it froze when it got to the Verizon logo screen when turning on so I took the battery out and attempted to turn it on, well it actually worked. Anyways I went threw the whole language selection thing and then finally got to the screen to activate it again. It didn't even say anything, or give any options then said that it wasn't able to activate. Well I have reattempted to activate it doing *228 multiple of times and finally gave up and decided to call customer service, now have been on hold for 1 1/2 hours I'm really starting to get frustrated. Can anyone please help me or give me any advice on what to do?

        Let's get this resolved once and for all Heather_Dobkowski! In order to discuss your issues regarding your Prepaid Device please reach out directly to our Prepaid Support Team at 888-294-6804. We look forward to hearing from you soon, thanks!
