Hard Reset Help Needed

I have a Tungsten E that the power button does not work on. I want to remove all data. I can't do a hard reset w/just the reset button since it has to be used in conjunction w/power button. Any solutions?
Thanks,
Roger

Far Cry 4 - computer froze. Only hard reset helps.

Hello dear forum.
First my pc:
4790 stock
8gb ram
Sabertooth Z79 Mark2
Msi Gaming 980 ( Oc factory )
Corsair 750 RM
HDD 500GB SATAIII
So 5 days ago when playing Far Cry 4 my computer suddenly freezes with "BZZZZZ" sound.
( ctrl alt del and so on didn't work I had to pull the power and restart. )
So only hard reset helps.
Question of course . Why i was had one single hard freez 5 days ago?
There is no any minidumps file to analyze. Minidump folder is empty.
No minidump file.
Nothing appears in the Event Viewer other than the typical error messages stating that the previous shutdown was unexpected.
On windows event log i have this:
Log Name: System
Source: Microsoft-Windows-Kernel-Power
Event ID: 41
Level: Critical
Description:
The system has rebooted without cleanly shutting down first. This error could be caused if the system stopped responding, crashed, or lost power unexpectedly.
It can be game or something with hardware?
After that i run even Prime95 Blend for 10 hours, without errors.
I test Watchdogs for 2 hours , no crash.
I test Metro Last Light for 2 hours, no crash.
I test Unigine Valley for 1 hour, no crash.
I test 3dmark 11 Extreme loop for 1 hour , no crash.
Also i dont OC my pc, all is stock.
I am using 334.75 WHQL drivers.
What you think that freeze was game\software or hardware related?
Like i say all is fine now, but i am worried about that one single freez ( only hard reset helps ) from 5 days ago.
Thank you for any suggestion.
Should i be worried?
Yes it happens only once, so thats why i create a topic problem. Because i want to know , what caused that one single freez. I never had freez like this even before.
The most strange that my freeze happened once, 5 days ago. I am now 100 hours in game ( Far Cry 4 of course ) and nothing happened again.
It can be software or hardware problem?
Freez was related to software or hardware then ? What you think?

based on everything that you said, nothing is conclusive
do more test and see if the issue will come back again

Make sure there is nothing installing in the background at times after hard reset the phone tries to install some applications that was stored in the card, so wait for sometime or try installing applications on the phone removing the memory card.

Password reset help needed

How can you reset password on a NEW iPad that has not been connected to a PC? The one I used during setup is not working and I cannot get back into the iPad.

Once you reset the router, all of the customized settings of the router (network name, wireless security, etc.) will be erased and the router’s IP address will be reverted to 192.168.1.1, with a default password of “admin” and no username. If you want to restore the router’s original settings without reconfiguring, you have to save a backup file.
There are two methods that can be used in resetting the router:
1] Resetting the Router Using the Reset Button.
2] Resetting the Router Using the Web-Based Setup Page.
Here is the link for resetting the Linksys router - http://homecommunity.cisco.com/t5/Wireless-Routers/Help-needed-unable-to-reset-my-router-password/td...

WRT54G Reset Help Needed

I tried to reload my config and it said completed but now the green power light blinks and I cannot get into the config page...does not see the router. I tried pushing reset button on back with no luck. I have firmware saved and config file. How do I do a HARD reset to have it clear and come back to factory defaults ?

From the link in the above post and the arp -a DOS command I thought this would provide the most promise.
However, call me an idiot but how do I in my notebook (which is not connected wirelessly to other router so no DHCP IP address given) create this....2) Your computer has an address on the IP segment 1, ie 192.168.1.xxx.
Windows: Microsoft Windows contains a TFTP client. Windows Vista will require that you enable it in Programs and Features. With TFTP, all of the information about the transfer is specified during the initial setup; there is little client/server interaction as compared with standard FTP.
If the router does not respond at a ping, or if the power light is blinking, use first the arp -s command.
This command allows to attach an IP address to the unique MAC (or physical address) of the device. The MAC address appears on the label sticked on the bottom of the device, and is a twelwe hexadecimal digits long number, looking like aabbccddeeff. This number has to be entered as follows: aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff, with dashes separating the pairs of digits.
Note that the size of the firmware to be installed first must be less than 3 MB. Afterwards, it is possible to install a bigger firmware, using the WEB interface of the router.
In the following example, we assume that your router IP address is 192.168.1.1.
Before begining, do verify that:
1) There is no computer (or device) on your LAN having the IP address 192.168.1.1.
2) Your computer has an address on the IP segment 1, ie 192.168.1.xxx.
3) A network cable is correctly connected to your router.
To flash the router using Microsoft Windows:
1) Open a command prompt.
2) Change to the directory containing the original Linksys firmware to use for this boot, or the DD-WRT firmware you want to install, whose size must be less than 3 MB (this example assumes that the firmware file name is code.bin).
3) Then enter the following commands:
arp -s 192.168.1.1 aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff
ping 192.168.1.1
tftp -i 192.168.1.1 PUT code.bin code.bin
A correct response from the ping means that the router is still alive, though the power light blinks.
After the firmware has been uploaded, wait approximatively three minutes, until the power light stops blinking. At this time, the router should be operational.

IPod won't start after hard reset - help appreciated

I had a problem with syncing my iPod with iTunes. I connected and it strated syncing alright. After a couple of seconds everything froze. Smart as I am I thought there might be some errors on any of my disks the syncing process is reading from. Couldn't find anyhting though. My secodn guess would that I just bought a new external hard drive to which I transferred my library (maybe the iPod didn't knwo where to look).
So my best guess was to perform a hard reset and re-sync everything. So I hooked up the iPod and quickly pressed the stop syncing button before nayhting could freeze. That worked well. You probably can guess what happened when performed the hard reset.....everything froze. And now.....my iPod is trying to restart, but at a certain point I hear the drive disconnect and starting up again. This keeps repeating over and over again. Hooking it up to my macbook has no avail. Any suggestions?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

It is very ikely that there is no way to recover any data from the iPod

HELP I am missing 340 gig's!! "hard drive help needed"

ok so i had a 160gig hardrive in my macbook pro. i bought a new 500gig for it. i used Drive Genius 2 to copy the old hard drive to the new one. when i installed the new one everything works great except it only see's the 160 gig not 500? so my question is how can i make my computer recognize the whole hard drive?
thanks for any and all help!!

Start over by first prepping your new drive as follows:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Boot from your OS X Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from theUtilities menu.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area. If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing. SMART info will not be reported on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
Connect your old drive that you have installed in an external enclosure and boot from it by restarting the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION button until the boot manager screen appears. Select the icon for the external drive and click on the downward pointing arrow button. Now clone back to your new drive:
Clone using Restore Option of Disk Utility
1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
3. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (journaled, if available) and click on the Erase button. This step can be skipped if the destination has already been freshly erased.
4. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the Destination entry field.
6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the Source entry field.
7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
Destination means the internal drive.
Source means the external startup drive.

Transferring iTunes Library to an external hard drive - help needed

I recently moved my iTunes library (aka all of my 32 GB of music) onto an external hard drive so as to save space on my laptop, but I messed up somehow and now I can't add songs to my iPhone. The chain of events went something like this:
1. I copied my iTunes library onto my external hard drive.
2. I changed my iTunes library location (in the itunes settings) to it's new spot on the external.
3. I deleted the songs off my laptop.
This worked fine at first, but then I think I opened iTunes with my external NOT connected and I got a blank library. I plugged in my external but my itunes was still blank. Then I decided I'll just add everything back to my itunes library. I did that, but I lost all my playlists and whatnot, but I didn't really care - all my music was there.
Now I just tried to add new music to my iPhone and it won't let me. When I try to turn manual music management it gives me an error saying "this iPhone is synced with another itunes library".
Is there some way I can retrieve my original itunes library from before I did all this stuff? Help much appreciated.

Quick answer if you use iTunes' default preferences settings: Copy the entire iTunes folder (and in doing so all its subfolders and files) intact to the other drive. Open iTunes and immediately hold down the option (alt) key (shift on Windows) so you get a prompt to choose a library, then select the copied iTunes folder.
If this is to a new computer and you put the copied iTunes folder in the default location of Macintosh HD > Users > *User Name* > Music then you don't even need to start with the option key held down, iTunes will automatically look for it there. (Make sure there isn't anything already in the iTunes folder there that you want to keep since you will be replacing it with the one you are moving.)

My Iphone 5c is not turning on even after hard reset, help

Iphone 5c is not turning on after i charged it last night. I have tried holding down the sleep button and home button, not helping.

Hello there, mila's mom.
The following Knowledge Base article offers some great steps for troubleshooting the very issue you're describing:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
After at least 30 minutes, if:
The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
If the display turns on, go to step 4.
If the display remains black, go to next step.
Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.

N8 hang / boot failure / hard reset / missing stan...

Recap: Phone hanged (won't boot) and I had to do a hard reset (volume down, camera, menu, power). After that some standard apps (Nokia Store, Social and QuickOffice wouldn't install). - Solution: Just reinstall Belle from Nokia Suite, then the standard apps is installed for you. I don't now why noone that had problems after a hard reset has found this one earlier. So easy! - Details: For less hassle when the phone hangs and a hard reset is needed the best order seems to be: 1) hard reset (hold volume down, camera, meny and then press power). 2) Reinstall Belle from Nokia Suite. 3) Reinstall apps that are missing (on c: drive, apps on e: seems to survive the process for some reason).
Lars-Erik Østerud - http://www.osterud.name/nokia.html

That worked before belle refreshed version for n8. Now i lost everything and i knew this trick a looooong time ago. BUT... After 3 times trying to: delete and restore, reinstall firmware, delete and restore. Nothing happend(. Nokia should provide this default apps as signed sis in nokia store. Alot of people are having this problems. Now i'm stuck at missing photo/ video editor

Hard resetting a nokia 1020, some questions, mainl...

Hi,
im having problems with my Nokia 1020, it hasn't got space, i remove apps and games and in one or two days the problem arises again, i don't know if i have two much photos and/or if it is a problem with bad-behaved apps with banners.
Anyway, i want to hardreset it.
I've already read:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/how-to/wp8/settings-and-personalization/reset-my-phone
and:
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-gb/how-to/wp8/settings-and-personalization/back-up-my-stuff
It seems pretty stray forward... but i would like to ask if i create a backup, during restore i have the option to carefully select what is restored?
Is the main interface backed up, with all the links?
Questions about 1020 photos and onedrive:
- how do the photo files work on 1020? Does my onedrive account have both the 34 and the 5 mb version?
(- if i want to create a 5mb version of a 34mb, has the phone software the ability to do that?)
- does onedrive account has all the files that my 1020 has? Because my 1020 has 17gb of photos, and my onedrive\images folder has 5gb...
- admiting that it has a full backup of photos, can i delete them on the phone without deleting them from onedrive.com / my PC's onedrive folder?
- is there a simple way to compare photos over the phone and on PC or onedrive.com?
I ask this because in my computer (and online) i have organized then with folders, and videos that exist appear near them, but in my phone i can only see the photos organized by date - so it seems difficult to confirm that they are both equal.
Thanks and regards

Hi @Lrmmf_ ,
If in your shoes I would secure a backup through USB to a PC before proceeding - not to the OneDrive folder on the PC - but somewhere else on the hard drive for safe keeping. There are too many variables regarding the settings on the phone used while taking the pictures and recording videos. Altering the settings regarding backup resolution only works for pictures and videos recorded after altering the setting. Clearly not everything is backed up to OneDrive when you have 12GB more on the phone than in the cloud, most likely the full resolution images are missing.
The restore after a factory reset does not restore pictures and videos to the phone. Those already uploaded are safe in the cloud and can be accessed via the OneDrive app on the phone. Lumia Black required a lot of work after a restore and i.e. games progress were not backed up. This has changed with Lumia Cyan, but there will still be some manual work after a factory reset and restore.
I suggest spend a rainy day to first backup all media files to the PC, then still via USB delete the big resolution files and media files not needed on the phone. Then think again if the hard reset is needed at all? - There is now a Files manager by Microsoft in the store for Windows Phone, it is just easier to perform these tasks on a PC via USB.
Duplicates are better than missing files! I still have a lot of clean-up waiting to bring my local backups in sync with OneDrive, maybe it will never happen.

Bought an iphone 4 to a stranger and l did hard reset now l am stuck l dont know his Apple ID and password efforts of using mine from the previous iphone l had are fruitless so l am stuck on that page. please guys help me l need to start using my phone.

I bought an iphone 4S from somebody at the airport and the person was stranded. but l forgot to ask for the Apple id and l did hard reset when l got to my destination after using it for a week now l am stuck at that page where it needs the apple id to continue set up. now l dont know what to do so that l may start using it. l tried using my apple id from my previous iphone but efforts became fruitless it is giving me a hint of the email like [email protected]. please guys help me out.

You've encountered activation lock.
There is no way to bypass it. If you can't get hold of whoever you bought it from, just turn it over to the police. It's probably a stolen phone.
