IOS 4.2 update caused factory settings restore.

I just tried updating to iOS 4.2. Once the download was finished I noticed the iTunes icon bouncing and saw multiple pop-up windows stating there was an issue (something to the effect of,.. I can't recall. Too many details and warning windows popping up at once). Now that I've just finished restoring from the last backup I made right before updating I see the iOS is 4.2.1. Huh? How did it update to iOS 4.2 if I just restored from the previous iOS 4.1 backup? Now it's busy syncing music,..etc. Is this the way it's suppose to update? Rather disconcerting.

I was forced to restore after downloading the iOS 4.2 update. I assumed the update/download was lost, that it didn't install, given the error msg and that it would be restored to previous backup (iOS 4.1). Strange way to update. Never happened before.

I would "guess", since you were in the middle of backing up, your backup is corrupt & most likely unusable. Only one way to find out though, & that's by trying to restore from that backup. If your pics are not there, they are gone.

How do i reset my mac ios 10.4.11 to factory settings

how do i reset my mac ios 10.4.11 to factory settings?

Tiger is not an iOS. iOS refers to the operating systems on iPads, iPhones, iPod Touch, and AppleTV if you look at its framework operating system alone. For Macintosh computers, all Apple operating systems since 2006 are some version of Mac OS X. 2001 to 2005 you may see a mixture of Mac OS 9.1 to Mac OS X 10.4 something. But do not refer to Tiger as an iOS, as that will only serve to confuse those trying to help you, as to what you want.

Iphone 3g Factory Settings Restore

I restored the factory settings on my old Iphone 3g about a week ago now and it's still running. All it does is sit at the apple logo and has a pinwheel rotating. Every so often the screen will flicker like it's going to do something and then goes back into the infinite loop of processing. I've tried doing a hard reboot etc but it goes right back to the same place it was before. Anyone see this before? From what I've read online it is supposed to only take a few hours.
Thanks for the replies!

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state. Very rarely this error is caused by a hardware issue and requires service.
Delete your ipsw file and let iTunes redownload it.

Update after factory settings

Good day. A few minutes later I gave Lumia 720 to the factory settings. I'm having trouble finding a new update. Lumia writes that I have the latest updates but I do not. Sorry for my English, but I'm Slovak. What should I do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You already have the latest firmware update installed on your phone, but you may need to update other system apps for full functionality. You can update those apps using Lumia System Updater app.

Will restoring factory settings restore the os?

If I restore factory settings to my macbook (running Lion), will it restore the os to Leopard?

Use the Mac OS X disc that came with your computer. Insert it, press C key on boot, go to Utilities > Disk Utility, erase the drive and install Mac OS X. First, make a backup

IPhone 5 constant crashing after iOS 8.0 Update and Factory Reset!!

So...thanks Apple! You completely bricked my phone with the most recent update.
Status since 9/17....
* Performed iOS 8.0 update via iTunes on my iPhone 5.
* No issues whatsoever until Saturday 9/20 around 5pm
* Phone starts reseting incessantly about every 5-10 minutes.
* Performed hard reset. No luck.
* Uninstalled apps since update. No luck.
* Noticed upon some crashes the screen goes totally janky (maybe graphics chip failure?)
* This morning decided to run full factory reset, hoping all would be fixed.
* Resetting issues start almost immediately and are continuing.
I'm not too excited about going into the Apple store given all the iOS 8.0 issues and fan-boys buying the newest 6 (holding out for 6s if possible).
Has anyone else out there had a similar experience?
Thank you in advance,

SO, the constant reboots have stopped, but now have significant charging issues.
* % charge doesn't increase on multiple different charging cables
* hard reset doesn't solve

IOS 6.01 update causes iTunes to demand to restore iPad

I used the OTA update for my iPad 2, iPhone 4s and whatever the **** you call the iPad that was the new iPad that is now the not so new iPad.
It worked (allegedly) in every case but after the update completed, iTunes lost what little mind it has complaining that it could not sync/update/backup.talk to any of the devices and that they needed to be restored. Killing iTunes and restarting did nothing. Rebooting the Mac Pro and rebooting the iPhone 4s fixed the error message. Restarting the iPad 2 got it working again but even though the iPad 3 was working fine, it could not perform wireless sync with iTunes nor would it sync if connected via cable. The only option available was to Restore it.
This is idiotic because the iPad3 was in fact working fine. It was/is iTunes suffering brain damage. So now I am partly through the lengthy process to restore the iPad and then restore the backup and then reload all the apps. To refer to this as "inconvenient" would be charitable on my part.
Has Quality Assurance in the iOS group been shutdown completely? As much as Mr. Jobs was not personally accountable for quality, it's gone downhill since his untimely passing. I do not blame Mr. Cook either, but there is annoying level of evidence that Apple is taking QA much less seriously these days for reasons unknown.
I will get through this. Apple please stop working so hard on delivering half-baked trainwrecks.

Quit iTunes, restart your Mac, restart the iPad and try again and see if the problem corrects itself.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

IPad Mini after iOS 8.3 update causes iPhoto 11 repeats

After upgrading both iPhone 5S and iPad Mini to iOS 8.3 I sync them to my Mac Pro 1.1 Lion there is a peculiar repeat of iPhoto 11 continually trying to load photos.
It counts the quantity then the iPad or iPhone dismounts. It remounts and it starts again. I shut the iPhoto down and restarted the app. It continues to do it. I will rebooting the Mac Pro and try it.
Heads for of you still running Mac Pro 1.1 with Lion.

You can preform a DFU restore.
Follow my steps:
- power down your iPad
- Hold down the home button and don't let go
- Plug the iPad to your computer
- Do not let go the home button
- ITunes will prompt you that the iPad is recovery stage
- Restore your iPad
You should be all set and updated issue free.
Cheers!

Factory settings/Restore

Hello.
I have a Nokia E71 with Straight Talk and have tried everything to get this phone reset. Contacted Straight talk, Nokia costumer care, third party companies and still no help. So heres my issue.
I just want to do a Factory reset to my phone and start over. Only problem is when I go into settings and try to, it asks for a "Lock Code" well I can't remember my code when I use to use the phone a year or so ago. Therefore cannot do a system restore without it. Ive even tried the default code "12345" and no luck. Is there anyone that can help or tell me how to reset the phone so it will be original again? There has to be a way to bypass that Lock Code and restore the phone. HELP!! Thanks
Carlisle

Did you try the Nokia Software Recovery Tool already?

IOS 5.1 update causes my iPhone 4 to reboot in multiple applications

Ever since the 5.1 update, my iPhone 4 reboots in the middle of trivial tasks (Messaging, for example). I performed a reset, and it rebooted when i tried to put in my passcode.

I thought that I had bricked my phone as well when I upgraded my iPhone 4s to iOS 5.1 but I just fixed it last night after 3 hours of trying everything. My phone was stuck in recovery mode and had the icon telling me to plug it into iTunes, but iTunes didn't recognize my phone at all. I tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes, but still nothing worked. I tried changing the USB port that I plugged my iPhone into and THAT is what worked. I have no idea why, but my computer finally recognized my phone, but had to be restored. Luckily I had a very recent backup so restoring it wasn't so painful.
Try changing the USB port where you plug in your phone on your computer; hopefully that works for you!

Factory Settings Restore ... for what??!!

But for example ... in my N95 8GB ... I want to know exactly what are these settings that is included in the reset ...
I want to try it but I don't want to lose something that I didn't expected to lose...
is there a list of these settings ?

No data is lost with a revert to factory default settings (*#7780#).
You'll just have to set up your theme, profiles and menu style again.

IOS 5.0 update for iPod touch: restore from backup?

I downloaded the iOS 5.0 for iPod touch and everything got backed up beforehand. Apparently my backups are encrypted and a password is needed to use a backup and restore everything back. I don't know what that password is! Can anyone help?

If you don't know the password, you'll have to set it up "as new device" and start all over again without using the backup. If you did not encrypt your backup and this somehow happened after the update, try to put in one of the password you use on your device, for example the screen lock password or your iTunes account code.
There have been cases in the forum, where users were able to unlock the backup by trying this method, after their backup got encrypted during the update process for an unknown reason.

IOS 8.02 update cause iPad Air to auto reboot while playing games and always 'No Sim installed' appears

I have updated my iPad 3 and iPad air to the latest update iOS 8.02 sinice a week ago. The iPad 3 is okay while the ipad air is having problems. Firstly it randomly auto reboots and apps auto shuts as well. Secondly the 'No Sim installed' always appears while using the iPad. Anyone having the same problem please advise how to solve these problems. Thanks.

Using the battery level meter in this manner is comparable to using your car's fuel gauge to calculate miles per gallon. The only thing that matters is the total amount of operating time from full charge to auto-shutdown.
Use the wall-mount charger that came with the iPad and charge overnight. Do NOT use an iPod/iPhone charger. Do NOT use a computer's USB port. Then, operate it normally until auto shut-down (ignore any low level alerts that may appear). An irony is that doing that test to determine the total operating time is also the procedure necessary to calibrate the battery level meter.
I'm not claiming that you do not have a problem. I am stating, however, that we don't yet know. If the above test does, in fact, indicate a problem, read this.
Also, according to Apple:
Use Your iPad Regularly
For proper reporting of the battery’s state of charge, be sure to go through at least one charge cycle per month (charging the battery to 100% and then completely running it down).
Elsewhere, Apple elaborates and explains that two half-discharges (or four quarter-discharges, etc.) equals one full discharge.
