Is it normal for apple tv to take up to 90 minutes to restore to factory settings?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
No, that's not normal, should be no more than a couple of minutes. Updating afterwards may take a little longer since it depends on your network speeds.

Is it normal for env open to take more than a minute?

I'm relatively newbie to bdb. I'm using the python bindings to the berkeley db, and the call to dbenv.open takes an inordinate amount of time (in the order of minutes). Granted, my program has very large transactions, but all have been committed in the previous invocation of the program.
Can it be something that I do incorrectly when shutting down the application? Or, if this is normal behavior, can I at least do something to move the delay from application starting to the (previous) application termination (which would be much more tolerable)?

I use it from python (i.e., through the bsddb library). Here's the code for opening:
self.dbenv = db.DBEnv()
self.dbenv.set_cachesize(0,100*1024*1024)
self.dbenv.set_lk_max_locks(20000)
self.dbenv.set_lk_max_objects(20000)
self.dbenv.set_lk_detect(db.DB_LOCK_DEFAULT)
self.dbenv.set_flags(db.DB_LOG_AUTOREMOVE, True)
self.dbenv.open(self.__dbenv_dir(), db.DB_RECOVER| db.DB_CREATE |db.DB_INIT_TXN| db.DB_INIT_MPOOL| db.DB_INIT_LOCK|db.DB_THREAD)
I thought that some of the parameters might be excessive. However, the problem does not occur with an empty db, only when it becomes very large (currently it takes 800M on the disk).
The closing is, I think, standard - I just call close on all the databases and on the dbenv. There are no error messages during the closing.

If you go to Settings do you see an entry for the Nike app? There is no way to delete or hide that app?
Have you tired using the Spotlight search? Maybe you just can't find it.
Next would be to restore a gain. First from backup then next to factory settings/new iPod.
The Nike app you can download/install
Nike+ Running for iPhone 3GS, iPhone 4, iPhone 4S, iPhone 5, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPod touch (4th generation), iPod touch (5th generation) and iPad on the iTunes App Store
Does work on the iPOd. You just do not get all the information that GPS/cellular connection can get. You will still be able to get distance/footstrikes like the installed app an you do not need the shoe sensor.. It uses the built-in sensors on the iPod

I have an imac and a macbook pro. my creative suite 5.5 design premium is on them both. I'm about to take them in to the apple store because they are running bad and have them completely restored to factory settings. when I get them back will i be able to re-install my adobe creative suite to both of my computers using my same product code from when i first bought it?

Yes. Just make sure to deactivate the license on both systems using Apple menu --> Deactivate while one of the suite programs is running.

I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate. iPad 2, iOS 8.3

This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum.
Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled? It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

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.

I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

"I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them? Can I back those up to iCloud? My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
That was all I could put in the initial "box." Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
Proceeding ...
After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.
Help ...
Running 8.0 on 5S
Thanks!

Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before

I have the iPhone 4, recently installed ios6 now my phone constantly turns itself off, keeps freezing and then 2 or 3 times in the space of 24hrs it has to be restored to factory settings. This has gone on for over a week.

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

Do I need internet for iphone restore to factory settings opetion?

I have an iphone 2G with 2.2 firmware, While i was trying to load some songs using itunes, suddenly a msg pops up saying itunes is not able to recognise the iphone.
It asks me to restore my iphone to factory settings. However, i have some unanswered questions bugging me..
->do i need an internet connection for doing this?
->what actually are affected by restoring to factory settings [apart from songs, contacts, calender, photos]
->do i need to configure my service provider information, etc again.
->is there any other way to come out of this problem apart from restoring to facory settings? [Does format of PC or reloading software work]?
Please help me..

->do i need an internet connection for doing this?
If you have already installed firmware update 2.2 with iTunes on this computer and the 2.2 download has not been deleted from your computer, an internet connection is not required to re-install 2.2 - which is what a restore with iTunes does, but an internet connection will be required to complete the installation process. A carrier locked iPhone is checked with the designated provider to confirm the iPhone is activated with the designated provider.
->what actually are affected by restoring to factory settings apart from songs, contacts, calender, photos
When doing a restore, your iPhone will be completely erased followed by the current firmware version being re-installed. If your iPhone was sold as carrier locked, your iPhone needs an internet connection to verifyAfter 2.2 is re-installed, you will be prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is created and maintained by iTunes as the first step during the sync process. The backup includes data such as most iPhone settings, email account settings, contact info, SMS messages, notes, recent calls, call favorites, photos in the Camera Roll, and 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app acquired from the iTunes app store. This must be followed by a sync to transfer all data not included with your iPhone's backup, such as all iTunes content and photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
Contact info, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks are designed to be synced with a supported application on your computer. For contact info and calendar events with Windows, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007. For contact info only, with the address book used by Outlook Express with XP or by Windows Mail with Vista - the name change for OE with Vista.
Photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Although photos in your iPhone's Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup, it isn't a good idea to depend on your iPhone's backup alone for these photos.
->do i need to configure my service provider information, etc again.
Whatever is was you did when you first activated your iPhone will likely be required again.
->is there any other way to come out of this problem apart from restoring to facory settings? Does format of PC or reloading software work?
It doesn't sound like it. If you have tried an iPhone reset with no change, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release - ignoring the slide to turn off prompt when doing so, you have no other option. Reformatting and re-installing software on your PC will not affect an error with your iPhone.

Apple tv 1 won't restore to factory settings

My apple tv 1st generation stopped working. It is caught in a loop. Basically it won't get past the restart screen. Diagnostics say it is working fine. Won't restore to factory settings. I really like the device and am not interested in moving to atv2. Help!

I assume you've unplugged from the mains, waited a few mins and restarted and also that you've done the Factory Restore from the same menu as Restart and Diagnostics.
Unfortunately if you've done those steps you are likely to be stuck.
There is no other official way to restore the shipping AppleTV backup image.
Apple are unlikely to be able to offer assistance if out of warranty though you could try, and even then I have no idea if they'd offer a repair/replacement as the unit is no longer sold.
There might be unofficial ways you could try and kick the thing into action if you Google for AppleTV jacks etc, but you might make trhings worse than they are (difficult to make igt more non-functional than it is).
Your best bet if Apple are unable to help would be to try and source a second hand unit (or maybe old stock). If a second hand unit had a working hard drive of similar capacity you might be able to clone that onto your existing one but that would generally entail opening the units up. No guarantee that thsi would help if some other component was stopping AppleTV from working.
Final though, if anything has changed eg HDMI cable/TV etc then try another or try component out in case HDMI negotiation is somehow tripping it up.
Good luck.

You cannot.
Unless you have done as you should and have the old facebook app on your computer.

HT4718 I want to install a new internal hard drive for my Macbook (13in, Late 2009) and restore to factory settings. However, I want to keep my Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

I want to install a new internal hard drive for my Macbook (13in, Late 2009) and restore to factory settings. However, I want to keep my Mac OS X Snow Leopard., which I downloaded from the app store. How can I restore computer with the updated OS?

What I did on our two computers was partition the hard drive so that both Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion can be used on the computers. This allowed me to be able to retain/use older applications and games on the Snow Leopard partition. This will allow you to do a clean install of Mountain Lion on the newly created partition. The Mountain Lion installer has a button that allows you to select another drive so you don't install it over Snow Leopard. I cleverly name one partition Snow Leopard and the other one Mountain Lion so I wouldn't confuse the two (I never claimed to be smart).
To partition, you need to have sufficient free hard drive space (I suggest 50 GB minimum). Boot off the Snow Leopard DVD or the disks that came with the computer and use Disk Utility to partition your hard drive into two partitions. If you plan to make Mountain Lion your primary OS, then you can reduce the size of the Snow Leopard partition so most of the free hard drive space is available for Mountain Lion. While booted off the disk, you can install Snow Leopard on the partition you want it on.
Restart and download Mountain Lion, remembering to select the correct partition before installing. I would make a copy of the installer and move it out of the Applications folder because the installer self destructs.
After getting all that sorted out, I found that while booted in Mountain Lion I could access the Snow Leopard partition. That allowed me to drag files and applications from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion. Applications that won't work with Mountain Lion will be grayed out with a slash through them.

HT1414 my iPhone 4 with updated iOS software is unresponsive to touch AND will also NOT turn off making it impossible for me to restore original factory settings. any suggestions? thank you!! i'm desperate!

Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.
