Hard reset & tapping the center of the target

My first problem is I can't find my instructions for my Tungsten E2, so please excuse my inability to use the appropriate words to describe functions, etc.
My current problem is that the screen isn't reading my taps from my stylus. I have tried to resynch that but the palm gets stuck in the "tap in the center of the target" mode. After dozens of target taps, I have soft reset, hard reset and it immediately goes to the tapping bit and never leaves. Please advise.
An old problem, (which possibly could be related) is that I downloaded a book 2 years ago (which I had successfully used on my previous TREO), but I have never been able to open the "reader" for that. When ever I try, it immediately blacks out.... can't even turn it off. It has to be reset. I never removed that, I just never open reader... is there anyway that could be messing up other functions? Since I have lost my instructions, can you also advise me on that?

Sorry for the delay.
You could try setting the notepad conduit to do nothing. Notepad can't be removed from the ROM. Removing programs is done through going to the home screen and clicking the top left hand corner, then delete. Again Notepad isn't one that can be removed.
Normally I would suggest hard reseting the unit. but....

My son let one of his friends use his ipad. The next time he tired to use it he could not get it unlocked, I tired to unlock it but it kept telling me that I had the wrong pass code. With out me knowing my son continued to tire until it completely disabled it self.

How can I unlock my iPad if I forgot the passcode?

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Is there a 'hard reset' for the E61i?

Is there a 'hard reset' for the E61i? One that would take the device back to the point it came out the box?

Hard reset is the only way to turn it on, stuck on repair loop. Tried everything. Tips?

I'm going to be as descriptive as possible, in a hope to actually pinpoint an issue.
Not too long ago, my "Lock" function starting acting wonky. It'd lock itself while "Unlocked", and vise versa. This happened for a few days, while all other functions (including connectivity to iTunes and my computer. Then the ipod went black overnight. I tried to hard-reset, and it left the Apple logo on my screen for several minutes before going black again. I locked, unlocked, and according to other reports on this Support page, attempted to Hard Reset, and then try to go into Disk and/or Diagnostic mode. Neither of which worked. I then read that perhaps Hard Resetting, and then immediately plugging in to a computer might for some reason work - it didn't. The device is recognized by my computer, most of the time, but not by iTunes - unless it's asking me to attempt to Recover, which only stops 8/10ths of the way through and asks again to remain connected for recovery. I've connected to different computers, I've connected with different cords, I've tried every USB port in a ten block radius - no luck.
One day, I read that perhaps changing the default drive (C:, E;, Q;, et cetera) might assist in my issues. I had gotten Disk mode to function, and only made sure to put music onto the ipod that I was sure I actually purchased from Apple. I had music for one day, and that night it stopped functioning again.
At this point, it's a paper weight. I can get it to the Apple logo. If I leave it at the Apple logo long enough, it will prompt me with, "Please Plug This Device in for Restoration" - which is moot, as restoration never finishes and I'm S.O.L.
If I Hard Reset, get it to the Apple Logo, then charge it - afer awhile it reverts to the black and white "Do Not Disconnect" with the circle and line, but stays that way for eternity. I've tried Hard Resetting from there, nothing. I've tried Diagnostic Mode and Disk Mode, nothing. I've left it charging all day and night, nothing.
Right now, my last resort is seeming to bring it to the store - but the Warranty being expired, and $30 just for technical support, I'm not willing to go that far for someone to tell me THEY don't know how to fix it, or that it would cost too much to fix it.
Has anyone had any similar problems, and have had them resolved? Any other suggestions on how to get this beast functioning again?
Much love,
Llama

If you have done the iPod Disk Diagnostic, it would help in troubleshooting, if you can share with us the report.
How big are the error numbers, for realloc, pending, startstop, temperatures ...etc

Is there a hard reset for the IPod

My IPod appears to be in the locked position (but the button is not locked) and it will not turn off. Is there a way of hard reseting the IPod or what other suggestions are there?

So, what if you IPod classic just says "charging, please wait" and has been for days hooked up to power, usb, everything. I try and do a reset and it just flashes off for a second and goes right back to this screen, no apple logo nothing. This thing has rarely been used so I don't understand what the problem is...

Phone really slow and needing hard reset all the time now.

I recently updated my Droid Razr Maxx HD to the latest OTA. Since then it has become very slow and unstable. Every two or three days I will have to perform a hard reset. Going to the apps page is fine sometimes then other times it takes forever to load. Has anyone else had problems like this and if so have you been able to fix it?
Thanks

My new Ipad Air 128Gb occasionally wont wake up from sleep. A hard reset cures the problem

I have a new November 1st Ipad Air 128 Gb Wifi only Ipad Air and a kensington keyboard case. Three days after purchase it wouldn't wake up from sleep. The screen was blank and nothing would work. Ipad support suggested a hard reset which restored it. Since then in the 3 weeks I have had it I have had to do three full re-sets. My previous Ipad first generation didn't need a full reset in its three year life. I have the same apps as I had on the previous model and I have about 100 GB free. There seems to be others on the net with similar problems and someone mentioned that the latest IOS7 upgrade didn't cure the problem. What do you suggest?

I would suggest not using the keyboard with the new iPad for a week or so and see if the problem goes away. If it does, I would assume that the keyboard isn't playing nice with the new iPad for some reason.

When my computer and monitor go to sleep, the system locks up and I have to do an hard reset with the power button. help?

when my imac and display go to sleep, the computer locks up and will not restart without a hard restart with the power button. help?

Hello, what all especially USBwise do you have connected to it?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or some USB or Firewire device, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts (Users & Groups in later OSX versions)>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed. Or an errant process eating up RAM.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...
/private/var/run/StartupItems
/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/StartupItems
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons
/Library/LaunchDaemons
Open console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & the Startup right after that for clues.

G5 Quad hangs almost every night - requiring a hard reset in the morning

leaves absolutely nothing in the system logs.
It's very strange. I leave barely anything running at night - maybe email and occasionally VMWare.
When I get in the next morning, the screen saver is completely frozen. and I have to power off/on to get it to respond.
Any ideas?

Dozens of threads on "restart on wake from sleep" and you have an Intel (non-IBM/PPC G5). Similar case, totally different.
Reset the SMC. Turn if off and shutdown for the night. Unplug all cables and power. If on UPS, just shutdown and turn off UPS.
Some screen savers may be better than others.

Todd, have you "thrown the switch" to tell Palm Desktop to direct the data to Outlook?
Start Button/All Programs/Palm/PIM Conduit Sync/Sync with Outlook.
You said you're "using the Outlook 2007 Conduit" -- does this mean you installed the Outlook 2007 Update on top of Palm Desktop 6.2.2? If so, that may be a problem as 6.2.2 comes with 2007 compatibility built into it!
I have read several posts recently where a user made the same mistake, and it caused some problems. If throwing the switch above does not fix things, I'd uninstall/reinstall Palm Desktop, but do NOT install the Outlook 2007 patch.

I need to hard reset a Palm TX but the Power button does not function.

I need to hard reset my Palm TX but the Power button does not function. Is there any other way to perform the hard reset or otherwise delete all of my data?

Hi,
PowerBtn from the Canuck Software HomePage.
NOTE: This is Not a Blazer friendly download and only for downloading using a Chunky Computer thingie.
http://www.canuck-software.ca/
PowerBtn will allow you to set a HardButton to turn the TX on and off in the same fashion as the PowerButton, if you want.
This setting will remain active while 'Enable' on the PowerBtn screen is active.
The user can select 'Disable' on the PowerBtn screen.
The setting will survive a Soft Reset. (Hi PG )
If the Palm PowerButton fails completely then you will not be able to do a Hard Reset.
The PowerBtn app has a 'Hard Reset button' which you tap and after a time countdown (you can cancel in this time) it will perform a Hard Reset. This is the same as the Hard Reset app mentioned above.
The 'Enable' and 'Disable' mentioned above do not affect the 'Hard Reset button'
NOTE: PowerBtn also has a 'Program itself becomes power button' feature but I do NOT recommend you use this.
If you enable this you will not be able to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' because when you Tap on the PowerBtn Icon the TX will turn Off. The only way to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' would be to Delete PowerBtn then install again.
You can also turn your TX On by pushing the 5WayNav Select (middle button) to bring up the clock then double push it. The TX will stay on at the same place it was in when you turned it off, in the same way it would if you used the Power Button
All the best, woz of oz

HT1515 Just installed Airport Express on Mac 10.6.8 Can't see base station. Hard Reset the Airport. Rebooted machine. How can I tell if this is a Mac problem or Airport Express Problem?

I have a Mac 10.6.8. Just installed Airport Express. I can't see any base stations. I did a hard reset on the Airport Express, turned off all devices, turned them back on. I see plenty of Airport networks in the neighborhood. How can I tell if I have a Mac problem or an Airport Express problem? Airport Express blinks Amber.

Obviously, I'm still using ethernet to be able to reply to this.
Alright, use the same ethernet cable to plug directly into the airport express. This will FORCE the airport utility to now see it regardless of weak signals & interference. You can set it up that way.
BTW, what is the original intent on the express?

I am trying to do a hard reset on my iphone 4s it is askling me for a 4 digit code. I never put a code on the 4S. I am using the one to unlock my new iphone 5 but is not accepting the code. What else can i do?

trying to do a hard reset on my iphone 4s. never had a lock code on the device. I am using an iphone 5 and after update i add a security code.
I am using the same one but it does not accep the code.
Is there any other way to do the hard reset on the device?

I went to Setting, General, and reset, I select Reset all settings and contents and it asked me for a 4 digit code but when i use the one on my current iphone 5 id doest work.

HT4587 em. Now they say an error has occured. The network has timed out. I have rebuilt it and reconfigured the units, done hard resets. What can I do now?

My 2 airport express units have worked until now. I only play Itunes on them and have reconfigured them, done hard resets on the expresses and the extreme, built new networks and started all over. when I can finally see them in airport utility and make sure they are connected to my network I still can't play them in itunes. I can select them, but the error message is that the network connection timed out. Used to work just fine. Its gotta be a setting, but I can't figure it out. I tried to change the channels, but it isn't very intuitive. Airport Extreme is channel 11, one of the Airport Express' is channel 1, and the other is 50 something. (I can't pull it up in airport utility, even though it shows green light and appears on my ipad.

Disable your firewall/security software, then try again.
