Is Hard Reset Needed?

I have an AirPort express for iTunes that works fine on one computer (PB) but cannot be seen at all by another computer (MBP). Does the fact that the AX is working for one suggest that the problem is in the settings of my MBP rather than in the AX -- I don't want to hard reset and redo the AX settings if the problem is elsewhere.
Thanks for any advice.

I tried logging into the AirPort Express from my MPB but it didn't work using the Air Port utility -- the connection timed out. More information: I've got the AX set up just for iTunes, and it generally does not show up when I do a wireless scan even from the PB where it is working. It will show up there if I do the scan from Airport Admin Utility, however. As far as I can tell, the only differences between the two computers is that the PB is running OSX 10.4.11 while the MBP is running 10.5.5. And both computers worked before I upgraded to iTunes 8.
I don't know the range of causes that would basically BLIND the MBP from seeing the signal from the AX, but it seems to be something that is happening outside of the AX settings and outside of iTunes.
Any suggestions would be most appreciated. This is driving me nuts.

IPod Touch - Songs don't play and hard reset needed to turn on

I had not used my iPod touch in about a month. It was on the dock during that time. I have two problems. One is that I keep having to do a hard reset to turn it on. Second is that once it is turned on (and it indicates there is a full charge) iTunes will not play any of the songs selected. I select, the app appears as though it will begin playing the song, but then stops as soon as the song begins and reverts back to the selection screen. After a few minutes of this, the iPod goes dead again. Is this a battery issue? If so, can it be fixed and is it worth the $$ to fix?

Yes it sunds like a bad battery. I would mak an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to verify. Apple will replace the battery for $79. A third-party place like this one is less expensive. Google for others.

Full crash with graphic degredation and audio looping. Hard reset needed.

I haven't seen anything else like this posted so perhaps it's an isolated issue. However, I've been running my new late 2008 MacBook Pro for about a week and over the past couple days have had it start hard crashing on me. The graphics will freak out and the audio will stop what's playing and loop over. The computer is completely crashed.
This has happened running on both the 9400 and the 9600 graphics cards. Also, I've had it happen with and without an external display connected.
Is anyone else experiencing this problem? Here's a pic I snagged of what it looks like when the computer crashes. Sometimes the screen freaks out and sometimes it doesn't.

You have 3 options:
1. Call Applecare
2. Go to a Genius Bar
3. Do it yourself--no guarantees on this one! I don't like the look of the screen, and tend to think it is a hardware problem, notwithstanding the results of hardware test. Genius Bars have more extensive tools. If you belong to AppleCare you have a TechTool Deluxe disk that can run some tests as well. Archive and install (rather than erase and install) is an option, but my money is against it. All in all, I would call applecare first, then go to a genius bar.
Good luck!

Hard reset (the three key code/reset). Turn off the phone. Press and hold three keys together, the green/talk key, the * key and the number '3'.Then, turn on the phone and don't let the three keys before you see the nokia hands logo/nokia boot up screen.
For 5800 XM hard reset need different keys/buttons. The green/talk key, the red key and the camera key/button. The process is the same.Warning!You will lose all your phone's data!

Bought an iphone 4 to a stranger and l did hard reset now l am stuck l dont know his Apple ID and password efforts of using mine from the previous iphone l had are fruitless so l am stuck on that page. please guys help me l need to start using my phone.

I bought an iphone 4S from somebody at the airport and the person was stranded. but l forgot to ask for the Apple id and l did hard reset when l got to my destination after using it for a week now l am stuck at that page where it needs the apple id to continue set up. now l dont know what to do so that l may start using it. l tried using my apple id from my previous iphone but efforts became fruitless it is giving me a hint of the email like [email protected]. please guys help me out.

You've encountered activation lock.
There is no way to bypass it. If you can't get hold of whoever you bought it from, just turn it over to the police. It's probably a stolen phone.

Need to do a hard reset on an iphone 4 but cant access apple id account and cant get reset to email address as it has been closed.

cant finish a hard reset on iphone 4, i cant access my apple account as i forgot the password and cant get a reset sent to the email address i had as thats been deleted, does anyone have any ideas? i still have the box the iphone4 came in so i do have the serial no.

Going to Apple is pointless. They will not do anything to help. Activation lock is an anti-theft feature.
If the seller "forgot" the pasword for her Apple ID, then she needs to re-set it so that it can be used to unlock the phone. If she says she can't for some reason, demand your money back. If she refuses, I stand by the statement that the phone is most likely stolen.
The phone is completely useless without the Apple ID and password.

My Ipad3 is very slow after installing 8.02 and needs a hard reset every 2 minutes.

Hello Community,
I had a wonderful running Ipad3 32gb running on IOS7, now after installing IOS8.02 this device is slow (e.g. Safari) and needs a restart (hard reset) every to minutes because it freezed up. I´m quite unhappy. I tried to stop processes and have a enough free space on the disk. Nothing helped.
I can´t imagine that you beta-tested IOS8 on the IPAD3?
Any solution by Apple?

(A) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(B) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Do really need to soft/hard reset after updating f...

hello..
i just wanna know do we really need to soft/hard reset our phone after updating firmware??
btw im using nokia 5800XM..im updating my firmware from V50 to V51
tq..
Buy Original..See Original..
Solved!
Go to Solution.

In my experience I've found that when I don't do the reset before and after I invariably have problems. For example when I updated my N97 to the v22 firmware the auto-rotate function stopped working properly.
I actually also remove all apps and format the mass storage prior to the firmware update which ends up taking a ridiculously long time with the reloading of my media and maps but I now realize that I'll end up having to do it anyway so I might as well do it properly the first time.
It could just be the N97 as it's such a hunk of junk but I think it's more likely that it's an issue with the update process in S^1.

I need to hard reset a Palm TX but the Power button does not function.

I need to hard reset my Palm TX but the Power button does not function. Is there any other way to perform the hard reset or otherwise delete all of my data?

Hi,
PowerBtn from the Canuck Software HomePage.
NOTE: This is Not a Blazer friendly download and only for downloading using a Chunky Computer thingie.
http://www.canuck-software.ca/
PowerBtn will allow you to set a HardButton to turn the TX on and off in the same fashion as the PowerButton, if you want.
This setting will remain active while 'Enable' on the PowerBtn screen is active.
The user can select 'Disable' on the PowerBtn screen.
The setting will survive a Soft Reset. (Hi PG )
If the Palm PowerButton fails completely then you will not be able to do a Hard Reset.
The PowerBtn app has a 'Hard Reset button' which you tap and after a time countdown (you can cancel in this time) it will perform a Hard Reset. This is the same as the Hard Reset app mentioned above.
The 'Enable' and 'Disable' mentioned above do not affect the 'Hard Reset button'
NOTE: PowerBtn also has a 'Program itself becomes power button' feature but I do NOT recommend you use this.
If you enable this you will not be able to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' because when you Tap on the PowerBtn Icon the TX will turn Off. The only way to change the setting or use the 'Hard Reset button' would be to Delete PowerBtn then install again.
You can also turn your TX On by pushing the 5WayNav Select (middle button) to bring up the clock then double push it. The TX will stay on at the same place it was in when you turned it off, in the same way it would if you used the Power Button
All the best, woz of oz

Hello,
I needed to do a hard reset on my iPhone 3GS and it's taking me too much time. It's taking almost 3 hours by now!!!!
I did it by going to "Settings, General, Reset, Erase All Content and Settings", confirm it and then the iPhone turns off, gets the screen black with only the animated circle going on. And it's been there since then.
Is this a symptom of something bad? Should I do the hard reset by another way?

Hello Ali Syed,
It sounds like your phone is stuck at the spinning gear icon on the screen after Erasing all Content and Settings on your device. I would start by resetting the device with this process:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
From: Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists you may need to put the phone into recovery mode, and then restore it with iTunes as a new device:

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.

HP Pavilion Dv6 3125ej needs "hard reset" every time when turning on

I have an issue that each time after the compuer shuts down, the first startup stucks on black screen. I have to do hard reset and only after the windows comes up.any ideas how to solve it? I've already checked my BIOS version and it's the latest one (F.29)

You need to do a clean install of Windows on it. The hdd has drivers for completely different hardware. Too bad you didn't make your Recovery disc set. It would restore the hdd to HP with all drivers/software installed. That would depend on if the hdd is at least the same capacity or larger than the original. Recovery Discs balk at a smaller capacity hdd. You can order Recovery Medai for about $16: https://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/mediaOrder?cc=us&lc=en&productOid=5173064&softwareitem=656000-002 ================================== If you can read the 25 character Microsoft Windows 7 license key, you can download a Windows 7 ISO file to burn to a DVD or USB flash drive. The version must match version that came installed on your PC as listed on the Microsoft COA sticker attached to bottom of laptop. Such as Windows Home Premium. Link to the Windows 7 ISO file downloads: http://getintopc.com/softwares/operating-systems/page/9/ You can use the Windows 7 USB/DVD installation tool to convert the ISO file you download.

Phone really slow and needing hard reset all the time now.

I recently updated my Droid Razr Maxx HD to the latest OTA. Since then it has become very slow and unstable. Every two or three days I will have to perform a hard reset. Going to the apps page is fine sometimes then other times it takes forever to load. Has anyone else had problems like this and if so have you been able to fix it?
Thanks

John has suggested rebuilding the Mail mailboxes. Once Mail is open, go to: Mailbox on the menu bar and select Rebuild.
As for Safari, is it opening and working if you open it before Mail and what if any Extensions are you using?
OK ... so I just restarted and opened Safari first ... no spinning ball. And I opened mail after hitting the rebuild, well, I'm missing messages from Dec. 24 - now, but it opened right away. Most messages are FB feeds, so it's not like I've lost anything important. So, initial thoughts ... John was a tremendous help, BUT, we shall see what happens when I try to open mail again ... and I'll try it first with the next restart or wake up ... so appreiciate the walk-thru on all of this!

Galaxy S6 Dead....needs to be hard reset to function.

In the past 4 months my S6 has been dead when I woke up in the morning. Sometime during the night it shuts down. I have to do the hard reset (Home button, power button and volume down button) to get it to respond. The first and second time it happened I got a software update with in a day or two. The last 2 times have been with in a week of each other and today being the most recent. I go on call every 4 weeks and having a phone that may shutdown and become non-responsive is not a headache I need to deal with. I have checked Google to see if there are others with this problem and it seems to be a common issue. Anyone else having this issue? When it is non-responsive (Black screen and will not power on) the LED light is blinking blue. A steady blue, once about every 2 to 3 seconds. I tried to call my phone this morning and last weekend when it did this and the phone does not ring but I don't go right to voicemail either. The 3 button reset works but I use my phone for the alarm and it's my oncall number. Please advise

Something is very wrong with it, contact ATT about a warranty replacement.
