Hi blanquito,
Thank you for your post. The hard reset will give you the opportunity to enter a new Windows Live ID and link it to your phone. For Zune, you can reinstall it so it can detect your area.
Hope this helps, let us know how you get on,

TS3899 Can't send or receive email on iPhone 5 nor my iPad 2? Tried hard resetting, deleting account then adding again-- no luck! Please help!!

CAn someone please tell me how to fix my email problem-- all of a sudden I can't receive or send email-- it's an Apple problem-- cause I can get online-- tried the hard reset and deleting account and adding again-- no luck
thanks

you still didn't answer the question.... unless you mean to say that you have an AT&T e-mail account. (e.g. @att.net)
If that's what you mean, they use Yahoo for e-mail services. Yahoo's mail servers are notoriously bad. This comes up here at least several times a week. The problem is on the Yahoo end. Trust me, the AT&T rep you spoke to doesn't know what they are talking about. Removing and re-adding the account increases the odds that you will actually hit a working server, but it's not guaranteed to do so.
Set up a gmail account or iCloud account and consider switching.

I have 2 hotmail accounts. They worked fine the first month or so, now about 20 seconds after I sign on, it goes to an send message screen but I cannot send. When I go back to inbox, it resets to the send screen again. HELP.

Here you can see how you can setup your Hotmail accounts in the Mail App on the iPad; http://convert-dvd-ipad.com/dvdipad/setup-hotmail-microsoft-exchange-ipad-2/

I CANNOT ACCESS MY HOTMAIL ACCOUNT AND IT'S TELLLING ME TO USE AN OLD YAHOO ACCOUNT. I RECEIVED ONE SECURITY NO. OF 6 DIGITS TO RESET. NOW IT SHOULD BE 9 DIGITS

for some strange reason my hotmail account was blocked and I cannot retrieve my e mails which is extremely frustrating. I have tried resetting numerous times with my yahoo but it keeps using my old yahoo address which went out with the ark

Last but not least, for the site that has the problem:
When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
(1) Clear Firefox's Cache
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
(2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site:
* right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
* Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
In the dialog that opens, you can open the site's cookies individually.
Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

Can't active Internet email account since I hard reset my torch 9800

HI, I did a hard reset lately because I wanted to clear my enterprise email . Since this time, I can't active internet email like Hotmail on my torch 9800. I have the option to activate my old email in the menu "Email Account Activation" but when I try to verify my password I have an error message " Sorry, unable to continue your session. Please log in again," Does somebody know what I can do to activate my old email or a new one?

Yes. You can use Telus's self-serve BIS site from where you can add, delete and edit email accounts for your phone from your PC. You'll have to call Telus to get a user/pass combo but it's worth doing.
Secondly, if you don't want to bother with that option, you can type www.blackberry.com/integrate from your phone's browser. That will get you the same results as the first link I gave to you.
I hope that helps you.

Need to do a hard reset on an iphone 4 but cant access apple id account and cant get reset to email address as it has been closed.

cant finish a hard reset on iphone 4, i cant access my apple account as i forgot the password and cant get a reset sent to the email address i had as thats been deleted, does anyone have any ideas? i still have the box the iphone4 came in so i do have the serial no.

Going to Apple is pointless. They will not do anything to help. Activation lock is an anti-theft feature.
If the seller "forgot" the pasword for her Apple ID, then she needs to re-set it so that it can be used to unlock the phone. If she says she can't for some reason, demand your money back. If she refuses, I stand by the statement that the phone is most likely stolen.
The phone is completely useless without the Apple ID and password.

Hotmail account keeps getting overridden by an espn page. I have reset Firefox and still have the same trouble. Any other suggestions? I use Mac OS X

I am unable to keep my hotmail account open. Several minutes after I have logged in, the hotmail inbox page diverts to an espn page. I have to completely shut down the entire page to get away from the espn site.
I have reset FireFox and I am still having the same issue.

Palm TX Won't Keep User Account ID After Hard Reset

I downloaded some malware and it froze my TX. I had to do a hard reset and when I went to resynch everything I got a dialog box that said that my handheld didn't have a user account ID and I got the choice of selecting an existing one or creating a new one. So I selected "existing" and it went through a very long process of reinstalling everything. So then I had another item to install, and instead of just installing that item, I got the same dialog box and EVERYTHING reinstalled.
Since then I've tried everything I could think of, changing the ID, creating a new ID, and still I get the same dialog box and no matter which option I choose I have to put up with it reinstalling EVERYTHING.
Plus software that is ID-dependent won't work since it's looking for the ID that is hooked to the unlock (Acid Spider, for example)
This is getting tedious and I need help!

You may need to hard reset your device and rename your backup folder. Go to http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=887 and follow the directions to do a hard reset. Next before you hotsync your data back over you will need to rename your backup folder, to do that go here;
XP
C:\program files\palm or palm one\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Vista
Start-->documents\Palm OS Desktop\[hotsync username]\ and rename your backup
folder to backup.old
Then hotsync to your current hotsync name and all your contacts, calendar,
tasks, and memos will come back over.
Show file extensions for XP or Vista
XP
If you can not view file extensions on your PC I would like you to open a
folder go to Tools-->Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.
Vista
Open control Panel go to Folder Options--> View (tab) and under show hidden
files and folders uncheck hide file extensions for known file types.

Delete email account without hard reset?

I recently updated my Samsung Galaxy S3 to Android 4.1.1. Shortly thereafter (and perhaps coincidentally), I could not connect to one of my email accounts (my Yahoo account, if it matters). Other email accounts are still functioning normally, so the problem is limited to this one account. I would like to delete the account and start over, but I receive a message that the this email account is used by other apps, and the only way to remove it is by performing a hard reset to factory settings. Is there way around this hassle? Thanks in advance for the help!

Same issue.. Not sure I like the new google voice search either. It used to show the Web Call Map in the search results, now I have to open it in in the map to get to the call feature. Extra steps google, why'd you do it? Verizon fix your yahoo email. This is rediculous to have this many issues with an email client that were trying to delete and read it for a solution.

Bought the Iphone 6 2 days ago. My mac pro finds the phone on bluetooth but phone will not discover ANY bluetooth divices. Have hard reset the phone and restarted as well. nothing. Any suggestions or issues. This is the first apple phone I have owned. Am not very happy that Bluetooth would present a problem.

I can't help with the other devices but note that an iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458

10.5.7=restart=white screen=hard reset

I know some of the threads have been about people not being able to get their display back. My issue is that when I choose restart from the apple menu, I end up with a white blank screen that stays that way until I hard reset my macbook (pressing power until it goes completely off). When I power it back on my display comes back. I sure hope the next update fixes these issues.

This sounds more like an issue with your system installation or computer than with the 10.5.7 update. You might start by doing this if possible:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
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 the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

I am away from home on holiday and all my contacts have disappeared from my iPad2. I have done hard reset, but to no avail. Is there any other way to get them back other than syncing with my home pc?

I am away from home on holiday and all my contacts on my iPad have disappeared. I have tried a hard reset but they have gone. Is there anything else that can be done other than waiting until I get home to my main pc?

Upon purchase of my iPad 2 I began saving contacts to my IPad Contacts application that is already set up upon purchase of iPad 2.   I then learnt about synching ( push ) my Gmail contacts to the Ipad 2 contacts 'exchange'.   I did this happily and was very pleased with the results however when synching the first time I chose not to delete my iPad 2 contacts I had began saving upon purchase.   This meant upon opening 'contacts' I had three choices 'iPad contacts', 'Exchange contacts' or 'All contacts'.   There is no way to save ipad contacts directly to the 'Exchange contacts' it has to be saved into a file or vcard and then imported in using e-mail or a PC.
A few days in to using push/exchange I also added calendar and notes to the push/exchange as I was happy with the contacts and e-mail.   I did notice some glitches since doing using push/exchange although I think it began when initially I began pushing contacts/mail there may be a slight chance that it began when I turned on calendar and notes facility to the push/exchange. The glitches that began meant sudden blinking during or after saving in calendar, contacts and notes.   Sometimes this would mean the item added was there but also sometimes it would mean that it was not.   Also double entries began arriving on both m iPad and in my Gmail Contacts online.   These were a mix of contacts that I had and had not not created or edited since acquiring my iPad 2 so the was no pattern or obvious reason.   They were all also a mix of contacts from different groups saved in my Gmail contacts.
Today suddenly whilst adding a contact the contacts blinked shut again.   I re-opened to see what had happened wondering if my contact had been saved or not however not only did what I add not get saved but all approx 500 contacts from both my iPad contacts and my Exchange Contacts vanished from my iPad 2.   I opened and closed the contacts to see if they would return but there was nothing.   I also hibernated and then later shut down and restarted the iPad many times to no avail.   I checked my Gmail Contacts account and thankfully all my contacts were still there.   However, it was still extremely frustrating to have everything vanish from my iPad and then not just come back from there especially as he e-mails and calendar seemed to be still working fine with Exhange/push.   Also, why had the contacts saved to the IPad contacts directly vanished also ?!!   For a £800 gadget not including accessories it really is unacceptable !!!
Finally what worked for me was going to 'Settings', then going to 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selecting the 'exchange' account and then switching 'contacts' to 'off', then I selected 'delete' iPad contacts i.e delete the contacts saved in the iPad contacts group however with nothing there to lose this time and having a feeling that perhaps that may have contributed to the issues/glitches and this contacts vanishing I clicked on the 'delete'.   I really do have a feeling that perhaps the issues may have been due to having two sets of contacts even though there were only a few there in the iPad before they vanished along with the Exchange contacts.   I clicked 'done' and then I didn't hibernate the iPad 2 instead I shut it completely down.
Upon restarting my iPad 2 I went to see if the contacts had returned but unfortunately once again they had not.   I returned to 'settings', then 'mail,contacts,calendars' and then selected 'exchange' from accounts and switched 'contacts' back on i.e enabled this once again and clicked done.   I then once again switched off ( shut down ) my iPad 2 and waited a while.   Upon restarting I again went back to contacts and found some of my contacts finally arrive but not all.   My 'push/'fetch' for exchange is set to every 15 minutes and every push/fetch showed me more and more contacts until finally I had all but one which has still not showed up !   However, I am once again happy and this time I only have one contacts group I.e for exchange and no separate iPad contacts to confuse me or iPad.   I don't know if this will mean all will be okay now as I do feel like perhaps I cannot now trust iPad contacts and maybe need to print out everything and keep this on me also just in case. I'll keep you posted !

What's lost when I change names, or hard reset?

My first question here:
I've used a Zire 21 for many years, and have some commercial software on it that required activation codes that were e-mailed upon payment. One is Piloc, a foreign language localization program, the other is SuperMemo, a flash card program for the same. I use them every day.
Now I've bought a Treo 680. That software isn't compatible with the Treo, so I'd like to keep the Zire going. But standard installation of the Treo software has the Treo using the old Zire user name. I'm sure I can't synch my Zire using that same name.
Reading manuals & online info, it looks like I can give my Zire a new user name by a hard reset (scary!), or by a hidden rename procedure involving the shortcut graffiti stroke, a dot, etc. If I understand it correctly, this will allow me to reinstall software and data (like flash card progress data).
But are my software activation codes likely to work? Supermemo in particular claimed it calculated my activation code using my user name. That sounds like it would prevent a reinstallation ... unless the software "knows" that it's been paid for, and allows me to reinstall even if the user name is different.
Does anyone know for sure how this will work? Will I be able to reinstall? Would a synchronization then re-load all my progress data on the flash cards? Should I try a rename (instead of a hard reset) in the hopes that less would be lost?
If there's a high likelihood of losing everything, I'd probably just keep charging the Zire and hope it never crashes!
- Frank Krygowski
Post relates to: Treo 680 (AT&T)

I did a hard reset of the Zire, then went through the digitizer calibration and time zone setting, then synched.
I get a window popping up that says:
"This Palm Powered [TM] handheld does not have a user account associated with it. Please creaste or select an existing user account to synch with handheld. What do you want to do?
[default radio button] Create a new user account named [blank box]
[alternate radio button] Select an existing user account [Choices in this box are Frank Krygowski Treo, and my wife's dead Zire named Peg Krygowski]
I assumed I was supposed to use Frank Krygowski Treo username. The hotsynch proceeded, and a very long Log file was generated. But the Zire now has no calendar data (the two handhelds previously had nearly equal calendars), no "to do" lists (which were identical and extensive), no ToDo lists (which were extensive) and so on. Also, the foreign language software (Piloc and a Polish-English dictionary) are either missing or not functioning.
What gives? If the backup files are an image of this Zire, I'm afraid I'm in trouble.
I _really_ don't want to lose the volumes of data (to-do lists, calendar, etc etc) that are now only on the Treo. Is there a chance I should change the Treo's username once more, then re-synch? Or did I goof in choosing the Treo's username? Should I redo the hard reset and re-synch the Zire with the original username, "Frank Krygowsk"

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.
