how to reset the iphone without being able to use the screen?

What do you mean by reset?
Reset: Hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons and don’t let go until the screen goes dark and the Apple logo appears (no data will be lost)
or wipe and restore?

  • Please help! i have broken my iphone, screens is totally smashed and black, photos are not on my icloud on pc for some reason, how do i get them onto my icloud without being able to use the phone? despratly need to acsess these photos on my pc.

    please help, i have smashed my iphone 4 and the screen is black, but phone is still turned on and ringing. i had set it up icloud on my phone and pc before hand but not sure if i did it correctly as no photos are showing up on my pc, is there anyway i can get the photos from my phone to icloud via the pc, not being able to use the phone atall? or would i need to go on setting on the phone? please help i really need the photos of my children

    Don't try to use iCloud for this.  Instead, import them to your computer using your usb cable as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.  That will import photos and videos from your camera roll.  You might also want to back it up before repairing or replacing it.  You can do this by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up; and to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  This backup can later be restored to your repaired or replaced phone to recover your data.

  • Any way to reset system preferences without being able to see the screen?

    I did something really stupid -- I'm running 10.5.8 on Mac mini with a 720p television as a monitor.  The system rez seemed a bit too low so I wanted to change it.  I went to System Prefs, Display and before I even picked a rez, a window popped up and read (paraphrasing) that a low system rez, (it gave a number, I think it was 640x480, could have been 800x600), might not be compatible with the software (OS?) -- so I clicked "Okay" unwittingly, thinking it telling me for my info and not that it was on the verge of applying that rez when I clicked "Okay".  I got one brief glimpse of the screen as the rez changed -- then it went to black.
    I tried booting from the install disc but without re-installing the OS I couldn't get to the System Prefs.

    Yes, the screen was visible when booted from the Install Disc.  Safe Boot would have been my next try but I couldn't remember what key to hold.  Thanks for the reminder.  My impatience, however, led me to take the easy, but sure, way out by re-installing the OS. 
    Of course, being on a hot streak, I reinstalled from the original discs (Tiger, but there was no designation as such on the actual disc), forgetting that I had upgraded to Leopard, so I moved backwards in the OS category and in doing so found that Tiger takes up about 9 more gb then Leopard which I really need.  And the app for the project to which I was dedicating that mini -- VHS to .mov copying -- informed me that it didn't work with "the current OS", despite the mfgr (Roxio) listing 10.4 as a useable OS.
    I'm going to re-reinstall the OS -- this time with Snow Leopard with a complete hd wipe (hoping to get back a lot of disc space) and be extra, extra careful the next time I attempt to change the screen rez.  I kinda wish I had been patient enough to strive for a solution to my original problem, especially since haven't actually saved any time by reinstalling.  I think I'll attempt to recreate the problem if I can since I'm going to reinstall again anyway and try the Safe Boot.  If it works it would certainly be worth knowing.

  • When I open a pdf file, after a few seconds, it hides the toolbar and I don't know how to get it back.  I use multiple monitors and, without being able to grab the toolbar, I am unable to move the pdf file to a different monitor.  How do I stop this?

    Does Firefox switch to full screen if you press F11 ?
    You can also try the F10 key to see if that brings up the menu bar.

    @ Philly
    Yes there is,
    When you recieve a mail with an attachement (inline or as a picture) right click (or control click) the attachement and choose "show as symbol" or "show fullsize" (or completely or something like that, I don't work in English version). Mail will take this as a general preference.

  • Can I use my Leopard (OS 10.5.8) to write a downloaded Windows file to a cd without being able to read the file?

    Can I use my Leopard (OS 10.5.8) to write a downloaded Windows file to a cd without being able to read the file?

    Thanks, Zombaby.
    I was trying to drag and drop the file out of the download file instead of where the actual file was stored.
    This it doesn't do.
    All these little twists between the brain and  success. 
    Thanks again.

  • I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !

    I have lost sound on my iPad in apps unless I use headphones ,does anyone know how to get sound back without them .I have used the mute volume on the bar at bottom of screen and the slider volume control there only shows when headphones are plugged in !
    I also tried resetting settings all to no avail ...I looked up some advice and watched utube video advice on how to fix without success..
    The volume control button on side does not work ,I got the iPad last August and wonder if it is a fault that means I must return it for replacement from where it was purchased ?

    The Retrospect you used way back when is no longer around. The company was sold and that company produced a new version of Retrospect - Retrospect 8.x
    So, as you've been told, you would have to be running a Tiger system with an old version of Retrospect software (5.x or 6.x - you would need to know) assuming you can find the software.
    As best I can remember you cannot extract files from a Retrospect backup except using the software since Retrospect did not normally make a file by file backup rather it created an archive of the files in the backup. I'm assuming that the EMC/Retrospect people have told you that old Retrospect backups are not accessible by Retrospect 8.x?

  • HT1414 My iPhone 4 has recently started shutting off overnight. I have to power it back up each morning to use it again thus preventing me from being able to use the basic alarm clock feature.

    How do I correct this recent issue where my iPhone 4 powers down overnight? It started shutting down as if I turned off the phone. It began around three or four weeks ago in December 2013. Is anyone else experiencing the same issue? I bought my iPhone 4 in January 2010 and use Verizon cellular service.

    At first I suspected a bad connection with a Sharper Image charging dock. But I find that it shuts off overnight even when I don't charge it. I can have it charged up at night, not go to use it until the next morning and have to hit the Home key either with a quick double-click or long hold down on Home key until the Aplle logo appears, in order to be able to use the phone again. I have not resorted to wiping the iPhone to full restore yet.

  • Is there a setting for mail that will allow me to delete emails on the Iphone without being deleted from the mail server? I have Yahoo mail.

    Is there a setting in Iphone mail that will allow me delete emails on the Iphone without deleting the emil from the mail server? I want to be able to download the email to other devices.  I am using Yahoo mail.

    I did not mean actually editing in the PDF, but just copying the text out of the PDF and pasting into indd... or Word.. .or anything. Regardless, just wondering if there was a way to avoid those line breaks.

  • Mifi 4510 and not being able to use the internet with my Ipod touch

    My mifi 4510 will not allow my iPod Touch to connect to the internet.  In settings it sees my device and for about 2 seconds a dot will appear of the screen of the mifi4510.  The dot goes away and it keeps searching endlessly to connect to my iPod Touch.  I have talked to the first level of tech support and they tell me that the iPhone and iPad are compatible with the 4510, but not the iTouch.  I can take my iTouch to any other wireless network, enter the key and the network will connect flawlessly to my device.  First level of tech support also asked if I had the latest updates to my iPod Touch  The answer is yes.  If in fact Verizon is blocking the iPod Touch from going out onto the internet, can anyone give me the rationale as to why this would be true.

    Hello,
    I am not aware of any limitations on the MiFi that would back up Verizon's story.  If the device is Wi-Fi compatible then it should be able to connect to the MiFi 4510L.  The only reason why a device might not be able to connect would be due to wireless passwords not matching or the MiFi broadcasting in a mode which is incompatible with that device.
    Here are some quick suggestions which may help:
    Change the 802.11/Wireless Mode
    1. Navigate to http://mifi.admin
    2. Enter "admin" in the textbox in the upper right hand corner
    3. Click the Wi-Fi tab
    4. Change the 802.11 mode from B+G+N to B+G
    5. Click Apply
    6. Test your connection
    Remove the Wireless password
    1. Navigate to http://mifi.admin
    2. Enter "admin" in the textbox in the upper right hand corner
    3. Click the WiFi tab
    4. Change your Selected Profile to Open Access
    5. Click Apply
    6. Test your connection
