EA4500: Full erase/reset/wipe all apps and Cloud references
I am returning my EA4500 and would like to know how to wipe the router and remove all access from the Cloud. I setup the "Cloud" while troubleshhooting an issue and I would now like to wipe this and everything related to the router from my systems.
Note: Because of the "Cloud" I want to be sure that everything is removed and Cisco is completely out of my network. Ugh - what was I thinking when I installed this?!!!
Solved!
Go to Solution.
A reset will do to wipe the current settings you have on the router. And then you can disconnect it from the current network that you have physically. Regarding Cloud or what they call now Linksys Smart Wi-fi, it is internet based so the account will always be there. I am not sure if there is an option for you to cancel it. It would only mean that you just simply do not access the account anymore.

IPad iOS 5 upgrade saying it will wipe all apps and settings
I have a 3GS and a 1st gen iPad. Both the iPhone and iPad were sync'd to the same PC. The iPad has only ever been sync'd to this PC.
I've upgraded the 3GS to iOS 5 with minimal issues (just took 6 tries and a long time), but it's up and running fine now.
I've sync'd the iPad a few times to make sure all of its apps and settings are definitely on my PC. When attempting to upgrade the iPad, I get a message that says "There are purchased items on the iPad "xxxxx" that have not been transferred to your iTunes library. You should transfer these items to your iTunes library before updating this iPad. Are you sure you want to continue?" I chose "no," and sync a few more times while making sure I don't see it transferring any apps in the process so I'm extra certain that everything on my iPad is in the iTunes on the PC. I then try upgrading again and get the same message.
This time I tried hitting "Continue", however then I get a message that says, "Upgrading to iOS 5 will delete all of the media including iTunes store purchases on your iPad. To preserve this content, apply this update on the computer where you sync music, videos and photos." I obviously do NOT want this to happen.
So...although this IS the iTunes where I sync my iPad, the upgrade process is saying that it isn't.
Any ideas how I can do this without losing all of my iPad app data and settings?Finally got it. Here's what I did...
First, I completely deleted the app I mentioned in the last post out of iTunes, as well as off the iPad.
Next, I went into the windows file system and backed up the last iTunes file backup. There are other posts on how to do this.
Next, I went into music, and checked to sync music with iTunes. I then made appropriate selections so that it wouldn't actually download anything to the iPad, even though iTunes is set up to do all music syncing. I then did the same with Movies, TV Shows, and Books. I then hit "Apply". It gave me a message (sorry didn't copy it down) that all of the media on the iPad would be erased, and the iTunes library would be placed onto it. Knowing I had nothing on it at the time, and I set up everything in iTunes appropriately, I hit OK. This only took about 1 minute since there was nothing to copy over.
Once it completed, I unhooked it from the computer, and thankfully, all of the apps were still there in the same place they had been beforehand.
Next, I plugged it back in. Synced again, and confirmed it was still good.
Finally, I hit the "Update" button.
This time it didn't give me the scary message I had been receiving, rather it just said it was going to backup the iPad, then install the update, then restore all my settings, just like my 3GS had done.
So...although this worked for me, I may have been a special case in that I don't keep any of my music or anything on my iPad. If I had a ton of albums that were not already in iTunes, this probably would not have worked out so well. -
My phone keeps saying the storage is full so I deleted pictures, apps, and all my texts. Then after I do this my phone freezes and I have to restart it. When I restart my phone then everything I deleted comes back. What is going on?
HI Shelby,
It sounds like your available free space is not reporting properly. I would start by quitting the Settings app:
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I have unlocked my iPhone 3G with Vodafone via iTunes, but now the downloaded apps crash immediately when opened. I've tried a Restore, but this didn't help. I've also tried removing all apps and re-installing them, but they still don't work. Any ideas? Thanks.
yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
open itunes on my computer
click on my device on the left
go to the device summary
click restore
it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this! -
i mean that i phone take time to open apps ,contact ,etc why? i close all apps and the problem still?
Try a reset by pressing and holding the home and power buttons for 15-20 seconds until the white Apple logo appears.

How can I view my full billing history for the app and music stores without iTunes installed?
I just received an email receipt from Paypal showing a $12.99 purchase from iTunes. I almost NEVER purchase anything over around five dollars in the app or music store. Since PayPal does not show what this purchase was for, I have not received the receipt from Apple yet, and I cannot find anyway to look up online what this purchase was for....I need help to find out ASAP what this purchase was. If my account has been compromised or if I have been incorrectly charged for something, I would like to get the issue handled immediately. I do not want to install iTunes on my PC (nor should I have to for Pete's sake), but I cannot see anything recent at all in my app or music history on my iPad (not that I would ever purchase anything for $12.99 anyway...I just don't). Thanks in advance for any tips!

No.
If my account has been compromised
If you even think this may have happened, immediately change your password.

Got new linksys router WRT160NL , but situation same. Tried reboot, renew lease, forget network, reset network setting. Pls advice
Have you tried a simple reset of your iPod to see if that helps? To do this, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.
Otherwise, have you tried any of the troubleshooting mentioned in this Apple support document?

Intel iMac running 10.5.8. Belonged to a relative who has passed away. I want to wipe all data and give the iMac to my grandson. I have no install discs. How do I proceed?
Contact Apple (call AppleCare) and for a nominal fee the discs will be replaced. You can do that or purchase Snow Leopard (still availble from Apple for $20) and do an erase and install of OS X making the machine like a new machine.

I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs.
I have the original IPad and it keeps shutting down in all apps and programs. Does anyone have a solution for this problem.
First and periodically double click the home button and close all the apps in the recently used dock. Then power off and then back on the iPod. This frees up memory. The iPad 1only has 256 MB of memory.

Can we restore all apps and music from our Purchase Hist in our ITunes acct
How do I restore all apps and music that have been purchased back on to an IPOD touch? The IPOD was locked and we had to reset it and now we have lost all of the apps and music that we had purchased from April 6, 2010 to now.
What has happened is the IPOD Touch account was originally set up on a laptop. That laptop crashed and we had to then set up the account in question on a Desktop. The IPOD was never synced. The IPOD was diabled because my daughter typed in the wrong password numerous times. So my 15 year old reset the IPOD and it wiped out all of the apps and music. Now I do not know how to restore everything.

Why my apps are not transferring from PC to iPhone 5? When I connected to PC the icon shows when I select apps it show 'will install' but it never show on iPhone, I re installed iTunes, deleted all apps and downloaded again but its not working pls help.
Next time an app update gets stuck try a reset. Press and hold both the home and power buttons for10-15 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then release both buttons. Wait till your iPad starts on it's own. Try now. Also YouTube is still available. If you can't find it the the app store go to the bottom of the app store page and tap purchased. All your deleted apps will be listed and you can reinstall YouTube from there.

How can move the apps and playlists on my iPad to my Mac? Whenever I attempt to sync, I get a message stating that all apps and music on my iPad will be replaced by content from my Mac and there are no content. Thanks.
the apps will not be deleted if the itunes is authorised for the apple id from which you downloaded the apps.
for the songs if you have downloaded it from a store other than itunes an app "TuneAid" will help you. download the full version then you can copy all the songs on the ipad to ur itunes library -
All apps and programs crashing even after restore
Hi, after my ipad completely died, all apps and programs now crash about 15-20 seconds after opening them. I have tried everything to correct this:
- uninstalling/reinstalling apps (even though this happens to the default apps as well, such as Settings and the App Store
- Cleared temp files/cookies
- Turned off Spotlight Search
- Closed down any open apps (do this all the time anyways to save batt life)
- Soft reset the device
- Completely restored the device
Nothing has worked and the closest Apple store is 3 hours away. I would prefer some other solutions other than being directed to the store if at all possible
Some other side notes:
- I have the original ipad 1
- I am on iOS 5.0.1
Thanks!!Well here I am again after having to do this two more times, and guess what? Apps are closing out again...it only took a matter of hours for it to start happening again this time. There has got to be a better way to fix this...would a repair shop be able to figure out what the problem is? this is the only apple product i've ever owned and unfortunately, their lack of support and my experiences are not giving me the warm fuzzies...

I have a few devices on one apple id and would like to switch out one of my phones so they have there own apple id do I have to restore the phone as new or can i somehow switch it without losing all apps and music in iTunes?
Hello lynnettefromsk,
The article linked below details all of the locations that you may need to change your Apple ID. This process should not affect the state of anything on the device at the time.

2 iphone 4, 1 computer. i upgraded to ios 5 and just updated my wifes phone as well. her phone got wiped of all apps and all my contacts were put on her phone. we had been using the same apple id but different user acct on our laptop. How do i get her phone back to normal??
Have your wife log in to her user account on the laptop. Launch iTunes, then connect her phone to the computer with the USB cable. Sync. That should put back all apps and media. Since you already upgraded her to iOS 5 she'll have to manually enter all her settings and preferences, and organize her home screens.
