HT1414 My phone was never added to my iTune devises. now it is not starting and I am not able to back it up before restoring to factory settings. I am a doctor on duty and i have to have my mob working

My phone was never added to my iTune devices. Now it is not starting and I am not able to back it up before resetting to the factory settings.

Then you are out of luck with wanting to create a backup for your iPhone first. This could have been done wirelessly with a free Apple iCloud account without needing to use iTunes on your computer to do so. This is similar to not creating a backup for your computer, your computer hard drive crashes and wanting to back up the hard drive before reformatting the hard drive.

    Forgotten Restrictions Passcode Help
    You will need to restore your device as New to remove a Restrictions passcode. Go through the normal process to restore your device, but when you see the options to restore as New or from a backup, be sure to choose New.
    Also, see iTunes- Restoring iOS software.

  • My ipod jumps from one screen / app to another on it's own. Sometimes I can't unlock or even shut off. I've tried the reset, I've tried back up, even tried restoring to factory settings and is still having problem. Any ideas of what I can do.

    When you still have the problem after restoring to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem and an appointment a th Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • AirPort Extreme extends my network and has worked well for three months. Now it can no longer extend the network and flashes Amber. I have restored to factory settings moved it closer to time capsule and rebooted the system without luck

    i have a blinking Amber on my extreme now and it cannot extend the network.  It was working fine and nothing has changed. I have restored to factory settings moved it to another room and rebooted the system without luck. Any suggestions

    What OS are you running?
    Please give me a screenshot of the current AE setup..
    I strongly recommend if you have issues.. take control of all the variables. Apple routers have too much auto..
    Here is a list that I use for setups when using Yosemite.. but it relates to any OS.
    You will need to factory reset again to get going.
    Factory reset universal
    Power off the AE.. ie pull the power cord or power off at the wall.. wait 10sec.. hold in the reset button.. be gentle.. power on again still holding in reset.. and keep holding it in for another 10sec. You may need some help as it is hard to both hold in reset and apply power. It will show success by rapidly blinking the front led. Release the reset.. and wait a couple of min for the AE to reset and come back with factory settings. If the front LED doesn’t blink rapidly you missed it and simply try again. The reset is fairly fragile in these.. press it so you feel it just click and no more.. I have seen people bend the lever or even break it. I use a toothpick as tool.
    Then redo the setup from the computer with Yosemite or whatever you are using.
    1. Use very short names.. NOT APPLE RECOMMENDED names. No spaces and pure alphanumerics.
    eg AEgen5 for basestation.
    Use AE24ghz and AE5ghz for wireless on each band, with fixed channels as this also seems to help stop the nonsense.
    2. Use all passwords that also comply but can be a bit longer. ie 8-20 characters mixed case and numbers.. no non-alphanumerics.
    3. Ensure the AE always takes the same IP address.. this is not a problem for router but if the AE is bridged you can have trouble.. Try using the static IP method or control it via the main router dhcp reservations.
    4. Check your share name on the computer/s is not changing.. make sure it also complies with the above.. short no spaces and pure alphanumeric..
    5. Make sure IPv6 is set to link-local only in the computer. For example wireless open the network preferences, wireless and advanced / TCP/IP.. and fix the IPv6. to link-local only.
    6. Set up the extend to the Express using 2.4ghz and then see how good or bad the connection is.. this is better in the old v5 utility but if you hover your mouse over where it shows connection an extra chunk of info comes up.
    I have specifically used 5ghz to make the extend.. because by testing it works better.. but do not be fooled.. this good connection is poor.. the RSSI.. which is difference signal .. at -79dbm is down the bottom of the stable.. and it drops out on a daily basis.. you want to see that signal around -60dbm at min.
    There is a lot more jiggery pokery you can try but the above is a good start.. if you find it still unreliable.. don't be surprised.

  • Reinstalled and finally got HP Dir, etc. How to undo "Restore to Factory Settings" though?

    Can I change "Restore Factory Settings",  to updated ones, just to try them,  and change back, if I want,   without a whole new  reinstall?  Finally got HP Dir, after more than a year!    No Desktop Icons, though.  TIA.  

    Hi,
    It actually displays a message saying something like No return. From my understanding NO RETURN means you can't undo the Factory Restore Settings after completion of the process.
    Hope this helps.

    Will I have to restore the device?

    Maybe:

    Troubleshoot your USB connection. If the issue persists, out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software may be causing this issue. Please follow Troubleshooting security software issues. .

    My phone was jettisoned into a hot tub.  Now I'm getting "_FindFlashMediaAndKeepout:600 physical nand block offset 1".  What do I do?

    If you can turn it off, do so and put the device in a sealed bag of uncooked rice for 3-5 days. After that, you can try and charge it and see if it will work. If not, you will need to purchase an OOW (out of warranty) replacement. See this link for costs in your area. Go to the Warrant & Service pricing section after selecting your area.

  • All the apps that I have downloaded are "waiting" and whenever I try to sync apps on my computer with my phone, the apps section is greyed out and won't allow me to do anything. I have tried restoring to factory settings but it didn't work.

    How can I access my apps? They are all greyed out in itunes. I have tried restoring my iphone to factory settings but that didn't work. I have a feeling it may have something to with the restrictions settings on my phone  restrictions are on) but it won't allow me to change the restrictions without putting in a passcode. I don't remember ever having a passcode and after several attempts have not been able to get the right code.
    Also. on my phone, in settings, personal hotspot, iCloud and Twitter are greyed out. And, the App Store icon is missing from my screen as well.
    Can anybody help me with this?
    Thanks

    yep, unfortunately can't reset without the passcode either.
    With regards to doing a restore, do you mean:
    open itunes on my computer
    click on my device on the left
    go to the device summary
    click restore
    it then asks if i want to back up before i restore (to which i say no)
    then it asks me if i'm sure I want to restore to factory settings and that all of me media and data will be erased and replaced with the newest version ( to which I say yes)
    then it takes about 90 mins to do this but when I look at my phone, everything is exactly the same.
    Am I missing something? Obviously I'm technologically challenged, but I HAVE to get to the bottom of this!

    Nothing.  The message means you MUST restore your phone to factory settings.  There's no way around this .  Your phone is in recovery mode.  That's the only way to get it out.

    If all basic troubleshooting has been tried and a restore as new does not resolve, take it to Apple for evalation and possible replacement.
