Hello raydio, download the program called "Hard Reset" from here:
http://www.palmpowerups.com/downloads.php?cat_id=2
It's about halfway down the page.  When installed, you just run the program and in 10 seconds it will do a Hard Reset!

    I forgot my passcode, how do I do a HARD RESET to clear everything out?

    A hard reset will not help you now. That won't work and it won't "clear everything out".
    You have to restore the device within iTunes. You want to use the same computer that you always sync with so that you can restore your app data and settings. You can restore with any other computer, but you will lose everything on the iPad.
    You will probably have to use recovery mode

  • How do I Rename Mac Hard Drive with Home Folder Only?

    Hello,
    I have a Macbook Pro with an SSD which has OSX Snow Leopard and my Applications, and the other hard drive has my Home Folder. I replaced the optical drive with the SSD.
    The other hard drive has the standard name of 'Macintosh HD'. I need to change it to something without spaces in order to get some developer software to work (i.e., it can't have spaces in the workspace name, and now that my Home folder is on a drive that doesn't have OSX, it refers to it as '/Volumes/Macintosh HD/.../...'
    I ran into a disaster by simply changing the 'Macintosh HD' name to 'MacintoshHD' - It prevented me from logging in and I had to use the OSX Install disk to use the command line to rename the hard drive back to 'Macintosh HD'. My guess is because my account was referencing a home folder location that no longer existed.
    My question is how can I rename my hard drive with my Home Folder? Can I change the hard drive name, and then immediately change my Account to reference the new hard drive name (and thus the new location of my home folder), and then reboot? Will this work if I do this in this order? Or is there another way to handle this entirely?
    I'm very hesitant to try this again as I don't want to have to go back and use the OSX install disk - my SSD took the place of the optical drive and I have to go and take it out, put it back in...etc.
    Any help is appreciated.

    I don't have a setup to test this, but you might try the following:
    Create a second "normal" admin account with its home folder on the boot drive, then log out of your regular account and log into the new one. From there you could rename the large hard drive, then go to System Preferences>Accounts, select the first account, then right-click>Advanced options to change its home directory path to match the new HD name. That way you're not changing the home folder path "in mid-air."
    It's probably a good idea to keep a tiny "self-contained" admin account on the boot drive anyway, so you don't get locked out in the event of future trouble accessing the large disk.

  • How do I share a hard drive with the new iMac to load a disk from macbook pro

    How do I share a hard drive with the new iMac to load a disk from macbook pro. I want to install office for Mac from a disk but dont know how to share har drive from macpro
    thanks

    The new iMac's don' t have DVD drives however almost all have a disk drive. The easiest method of installing MS Office for Mac on your new iMac is to download it from Microsoft and then input the code you received when you purchased your original license. Otherwise you can use the DVD drive on your MBP to install on your iMac, that feature is called Remote Disc. Instructions for Remote Disc can be found at:http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5287

    I have been trying to download the movie Prometheus onto my Ipad. It sticks at 793mb and hasn't moved for hours. I have 48gb of space on my i-pad and have hard resetted and turned off and switched back on, always reconnecting with wi-fi immediately. It doesn't resume?
    I haven't even received an email stating I have been charged for it???
    Any ideas??

    Well I have an update. I decided to stay as I was so far down the road. They gave me an engineer appointment of 14 of August which was totally disgusting.
    I rang up to complain and was promised a call back as they tried to expediate my request. Never happened.
    Whilst on these calls I also questioned the validity of sending another engineer unless they first checked that my local cabinet hard an available fibre port. I was promised and promised that they would put the notes on the call and it would not be a wasted engineer visit.
    Engineer came today. Wasted visit - no ports on the cabinet.
    He was not even sure why he was sent there knowing there were no ports. Talk about the blind leading the blind.
    The incompetency of this corporation is absolutely astounding even when their customers are telling them they are going to fail they lie to your face just to appease you on the phone and move you on.
    So I ordered my switch from sky to BT on June 6th.. and so far all I have is a phone line.
    On top of this I noticed that they have charged me a late payment fee by DD and full line rental for first month. BT were so slow at installing it all that my up front line rental apparently did not cover their initialy switch over. Despite telling me I would not be charged I have been charged.
    Now as a web designer I am now tempted to create basic website and use my SEO skills to push it to top of google rankings sharing with everyone of my experience of BT.

  • How do I do a complete reset with Lion when I don't have a disc?

    How do I do a complete reset with Lion when I don't have a disc (bought OS on App store).  When using OS X Snow Leopard I get the message "not allowed".  Is Lion available on Disc? Don't really want to buy it again...  The only way I can see doing this is booting from an OS disc.

    What exactly are you trying to do? Reinstall Lion clean, IE without first loading Snow Leopard?
    Or are you trying to go back to Snow Leopard as the operating system.
    If you want to reinstall Lion your best bet is to go through the downloading process and SAVE that file and then use LionDiskMaker ( a small program) to make a Lion install USB thumb drive. Then wipe the drive and do a complete clean reinstall.
    If you want to go back to Snow Leopard you will need to boot the system from the SL DVD and again Wipe the drive and then install SL.

  • How can I erase my hard disk with OS X 10.8.2?

    How can I erase my hard disk with OS X 10.8.2?

    If you want to erase the hard disk and reinstall OS X, follow these steps:
    1. Back up your data to an external disk if you don't want to lose everything. When you erase a hard disk, everything is deleted.
    2. Press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery, and open Disk Utility.
    3. Select Macintosh HD on the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    4. After erasing the disk, close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X, so OS X will be installed with factory settings.
    Don't forget to install iLife applications after the installation, if you need them. They come in the Applications DVD (if your Mac came with Snow Leopard or older), or open App Store > Purchases and download them

  • How can I do a hard reset without losing app data?

    I have international texting on my phone and it's having an issue sending images to my friends overseas. The words go through but no media.
    I have Verizon's More Everything plan and after two days trying to get this sorted on their end, they want me to try a hard reset and test the texting before I restore my backup to see if it's something in the phone.
    the last time I had to do this I lost EVERYTHING regarding data in my apps. Some of the apps I have now I cannot afford to lose the info stored in them.
    I need to make sure that I can restore safely once we are done with the troubleshooting.
    If I have to manually put my items back in, HOW can I do that with the apps I really need the data preserved?
    FYI - ALL my settings for iMessage are correct.
    My international friends are not using iPhone AND I checked my settings there and they too are correct.
    So, before I go and wipe everything out, can someone reassure me with some directions and ease my worries?

    OK I'm going to say this for the what? 3rd time?
    I know the difference between a hard RESET and a full RESTORE. My mistake in the OP was mixing up the WORDS.
    If you read carefully, you would have probably figured it out without all this arguing.
    I'm going to make this simple ok?
    Verizon wants me to do do a RESTORE and NOT put my data back in from the backup.
    They want me to test what is broken to see if it works.
    If it works, then i am to RESTORE THE BACKUP and test again.
    I just don't want to lose data on the backup and restore. I have indeed lost data with restoring a backup when iOS 7 came out. It was a disaster.
    I fully understand what you are saying but I am TRYING to explain that it failed the last time I had to do this. I cannot make myself any more clear.
    Now, I think I'm done with this since it's all become such a topic of contention. All I wanted to know is if it could be done without losing data and now the stupid cloud comes into it, those with good intentions are getting yelled at by the guy with the basketball avatar and I just don't have the strength to keep repeating myself.
    All of this would be so easy if people took the time to read all the words and when / if not sure, read it again. That's what I do and I find it helpful.
    You should probably go back and re read all of my response to you.  Which answered all your question.  I don't need to repeat myself again and again.

  • Cant log in to my wrt150N router after hard reset with default login

    Hello all,
    I have a router that I upgraded the firmware a while ago, I stopped using it several months ago, I was going to give this router to my sister,  i tried a hard reset(30 seconds press reset, unplug, hold hold the reset, wait 20 sec, plug power, hold for 30 sec and release the reset) and I tried to login with admin admin and it doesn't accept it. I tried with another router dlink 614i and the same problem, after resetting it it's not accepting admin admin log/pass. It can't be that two different routers are having the same problem, can it be my laptop? Any ideas what's going on or how to fix it?
    I've tried admin/ admin , login admin no pass, no login and pass admin no luck.

    Hi,
    A 30/20/30 reset is useless and risky.
    To clear NVRAM it's sufficient to push the button once during 30s, and wait the router restarts itself (some of them reboots twice)...

  • Palm m505 hard reset with no hotsync...

    Title says it all, but is the data lost forever or is there some way to get it back?
    I'm not too concerned with saving the device, so if tearing out every memory chip is part of the solution, so be it.
    If there is ANY way to undo this, I'd LOVE to hear it.
    I can provide exact details of how this tragedy transpired if necessary, but the end result is explained above.
    Also, I will be e$pecially grateful to anyone who can point me towards a recovery solution.
    Disclaimer: Yes, I know I should have sync'd the data, but circumstances/events being what they were/are prevented it.

    Sadly if the data only existed on the device and it hard reset then it's gone.
