HT1414 Why does it have two restore to factory settings

Why

Because your iPod encountered a problerm.
If it recurrs after restoring to factory settings/new iPod that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Ipod classic has been wiped. cannot see it on the 'device list' in my itunes. I have tried restoring to factory settings and reloading...it reloads some of the music, but when I plug the Ipod back in, it wipes it again.

    Ipod classic has been wiped saying 'no music'etc.
    Cannot see it on the 'device list' in my itunes. I have tried restoring to factory settings and reloading...it reloads some of the music, but when I plug the Ipod back in, it wipes it again. Ocassionally Itunes freezes when I plug in the Ipod.

    Make sure your headphones are plugged in all the way, meaning you cannot see any of the silver still showing from the headphone's plug. 
    A feature of the Nano is to put it to sleep when the display goes out and it does not detect any headphones.

  • ITunes cannot read the contents of iPhone. It's telling me I have to restore to factory settings

    Why am I getting this message when trying to sync to iTunes? iTunes cannot read the contents of iPhone. It's telling me I have to restore to factory settings. Say it ain't so! help!

    I don't want to restore, since I will lose my voice memos which are not yet backed up.

  • HT1414 How do I sync my device to a different device's library?  Do I have to restore to factory settings and start over? Or, is there a simpler process where i can just select the library/device that I want to sync with?

    Is there an easier way other than restoring to factory settings and starting over?

    Open itunes, connect ipod, select what you want, sync.
    No need to restore.  Just sync.  It will erase the current content and replace with the content of the new computer.

  • 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!

  • I just updated my ipod touch and now I get a message that it's in recovery mode and I have to restore the factory settings., I just updated my ipod touch and now I get a message that it's in recovery mode and I have to restore the factory settings.

    Will I have to restore the device?

    Maybe:
    Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes)
    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. .
    Next try placing in DFU mode and then restoring.

  • Forgot restrictions password.  What settings will be affected by restoring to factory settings?

    I forgot my restrictions password.  What will change if I have
    to restore the factory settings?

    Restoring to factory settings, does just that... your iPhone will be like it was when new and not activated, i.e. everything will be wiped off the phone.

  • HT201210 Cant seem to restore to factory settings

    I have been trying to restore my I phone 4 to factory settings.  I dont have Facetime or I tunes app available.  I have tried to go to settings>General>Reset , but then it asks for a restrictions passwod and I have no idea what this is. So then to reset the password you have to restore to Factory Settings.  I have tried this many times, which says 8 hours, so i leave it plugged into computer overnight.  When i test the phone in the morning, it should start the set up screen all over agin, but it never does, so i wonder if something is wrong with my I tunes, wifi, or phone all together.  HELP!!

  • Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult to get answers--I am not going to be able to check the website to see what anyone might reply to my question on crashing?

    I have no way of checking to see if anyone answers this. Why does Firefox have to make it so difficult?
    What does this means: DLL C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\MOZCRT19.dll is not a valid Windows image. Please check this against your installation diskette.
    Suddenly all my tabs closed. Then Windows told me I had a gazillion infections. Then a tiny strip appeared saying it was Firefox and these little blocks started to fill up the little strip as if it were downloading something--there was no way to cancel this so I cut the power. Now when I try to use the Firefox icon, I get the message above.
    Am I supposed to remove the old Firefox stuff and start from scratch? I am stuck using Internet Explorer.
    I went to the Firefox website and tried to download it again, but McAffee jumped in and said there is something wrong with Firefox and I should register with them that I am downloading Firefox (I do not have McAffee). Then I got a security warning saying Firefox is not safe.
    I am completely at a loss as to what to do next, since I don't understand any of this mumbojumbo.

    Here's the story on one of your infections, namely JS:Redirector-EH[Trj]: http://www.microsoft.com/security/portal/Threat/Encyclopedia/Entry.aspx?Name=Trojan%3aJS%2fRedirector.H
    The main problem with malware is that it uses the installation to proliferate by contacting hostile servers to download more of the same rogue code.
    Firefox doesn't have the option to "Run" a file. You can only "Save File" or "Cancel". If you downloaded it with IE8, then yes, you can run it, but that's not what I wanted you to do.
    What you should do now is to disable System Restore. You can open System Properties by hitting the Windows logo key and Pause/Break key together. Then click the "System Restore" tab. Then checkmark the box which says "''Turn off System Restore on all drives''". Reboot to clear its contents. System Restore unfortunately makes a backup of all executables which includes viruses so that when you reboot without deleting them first, System Restore reinstates them again.
    After you complete that step, run Avast and Malwarebytes again to make sure the system is clean.
    Then go to the Windows Update site (link on your start menu) and install the missing patches which enabled your machine to become infected in the first place.
    Once the system is clean, repeat step one to download Firefox again, but please do not run the file. If you don't see the option to "Save File", cancel the download, but it should be there. You can use this direct download link to download FF4.0.1 [http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0.1&os=win&lang=en-US Download Firefox 4.0.1]
    Run the file after you download it to the desktop.

  • Why does EJB needs two interface???

    Hi All,
    This has been asked by many ppl and many of you might be having
    the correct answer for it. Please tell me....
    Why does EJB needs two interface (Home and Remote Interface)?. Why not one?
    Thanx to all...
    Regards
    GoodieGuy

    Hi Goodie ,
    Its good question and its a very valid one , one has to have doubt
    why two , why not one ..
    Here the answer goes ..
    First of all you need to understand that its a distributed computing technique ie I mean lot of people will be accessing the bean at the same time , right ? OK , you cann't access the bean directly.
    and lastly the stateless and entity beans do instance pooling.
    The very purpose of having two interfaces is
    1) To differnentiate the bussiness logic and life cycle methods .
    2) The home interface inititates life cycle methods like creation , destruction etc .
    3) There are lot of beans in the container , and through home you are
    creating the instance or accessing one of them .
    4) Once you have home object using it we get the remote object ie the instance of the bean that you want to access if stateless any bean can be called , if statefull depending upon the parameter in create method that respective bean is created and invoked .
    In ejb 1.0 and 1.1 even though the bean and the client are in same jvm its assumed that they are remote and in 2.0 Ver we have local this is to avoid network traffic .
    Hope you have got the answer , but if u still need clarification
    read EBRoman book first and second chapters thoroughly and then proceed
    a head.
    Bye

  • Iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    iphone 4: Home Button Not Working. The home button only works when it is connected to iTunes, once i disconnet it does not work, i have tried a restore to factory settings but it still is not working. Any suggestions?

    Apple, as I said, does not repair your iPhone. All hardware service issues are handled by replacing the unit. So they can't handle the home-button issue without also addressing the issue of the cracked screen, for which they'll almost certainly charge you. But you can make an appointment at an Apple Store or call Apple tech support and plead your case.

  • Why can't I download the Mac OS I just purchased?  Why does it have to be shipped to me?

    I just purchased Lion OS.  Why can't I download it from the website?  Why does it have to be shipped to me?

    Are you doing a Software Update or downloading directly from Apple?
    If Software Update, instead download the combo 10.6.8 update from here. Use Disk Utility (on your hard drive in application/utilities)  to repair permissions, then apply the combo update, and when done, repair permissions again. You'll be at 10.6.8 at that point.
