Just for variety - Hard Reset not working anyone ?

Anyone else having problems with actually getting their Time Capsule to Hard Reset (never mind the reasons for needing to reset in the first place!) ?
Depressing the reset button for 5, 10, 15 seconds doesn't produce amber blinking on the unit I'm just trying to set up, and doesn't appear to cause any changes either. And whilst depressing the reset whilst plugging in/powering on does produce fast amber blinking, once the unit eventually decides to get to a point where I can access it with Airport Utility, it does not appear to have reset to factory defaults, it still has my disk and network name, and passwords.
Anyone else experienced this ?
The above aside, I did initially get it to raise a satisfactory Airport network for a while, but then just before I attempted an initial backup of one of the several machines it's supposed to be serving, I accepted a prompted firmware upgrade to 7.3.2, and from that point on, problems: Airport Utility couldn't find it for a while, disk intermittently wouldn't mount even over ethernet, etc,etc. Noticed on the board that some were feeling 7.3.2 was dodgy, so downgraded to 7.3.1 again (what it came with, I think), and even just had a stab at 7.3 - it's just not behaving at all now, on any version, though it can still occasionally be coached into providing an Airport network, and bridging ethernet, ok.
But throughout all this, I don't think I've actually managed to get it to properly hard reset even once.
Be very grateful to hear any thoughts or comments, or of any similar experiences - otherwise I guess it's back to the shop for a swap.
Andy.

    Hello moxim! Let's figure this out. I am sorry your device is still not working. After a Hard Reset, your next step would be to review warranty options. Please reply to my Direct Message, and I'd be happy to check into this further.
Thanks,

  • Airport Express Base Station - hard reset not working?

    Hi... I have 4 airport expresses, so it's not like I'm inexperienced... having reset them many times. I've had this one about a year. Hard reset and soft reset are happening (Airport got renamed from the name I gave it to "Base Station..") but I can't configure it. It asks me for a password. I've tried public and just about any other password that I might have previously given it... and I get an Error Code: -4. "An error occured while trying to access the base station. Make sure your network connection is valid and try again."
    Does anyone have a clue as to what might be going on, or how to work around this? I don't have a usb to usb handy.
    Thanks, --- Alain

    Thank you, Bob.  Switching  WEP 40 Bit worked like a charm.  I'll make sure and speak to FIOS about the level of security.  Now, excuse me while I go and rock out in my garage with AirTunes.

  • HotSync won't update...hard reset not work

    I was not getting my updates from several HotSyncs on my TX. Was receiving low memory messages, so I did several resets to no avail. I eventually did the hard reset and all of my data was removed. When I attempted to HotSync to restore the info, my laptop did not recognize the TX (device). I reloaded all the Palm Desktop software on the laptop and still no results. Where did I mess up? Thanks
    Post relates to: Palm TX

    What happens when you try to sync? Do you get any error messages??
    If you are getting the error message, "the connection between your device and the desktop cannot be established, please check your setup and try again" here is what you need to do.
     Do you see the hot sync icon (circle with red and blue arrows) on the bottom right of your computer screen? Is there an arrow with the option to "show hidden icons"? If you do not see it there, hot sync will be disabled and you will keep getting that message (the connection between your device and the desktop could not be established...). To enable the hot sync program once again, click on Start > Programs/All Programs > Palm OS Desktop/Palm One > Hot Sync Manager. It will take about 5-10 seconds and the icon will be there once again. Now the sync should go through. When you begin sync'ing, the computer will prompt you, "there is no user name associated with this account..." select your old user name and then all the info will come back onto your palm.
     I hope this works for you!

  • Miix 2 10 freezing - hard reset not working

    Hello! For the second time in a few days my miix 2 10 decided not to wake up again. The windows button makes it vibrate. But no reactions beside that. Last time the error disappeared after some time, I dont' know why. Would not be a big deal to me beside this fact: Right now I am not able to perform a hard reset. What are the options to do a hard reset? Is it pressing the power button for more than 10 seconds? Does not work. Pressing both volume and power button? Does not work. What to do? Any help is greatly appreciated! Kind regards,Jan

    Got my Miix 2 10" on Monday 15. Performed a lot of Windows uptates, unistalled Mc Affee and connected a Bluetooth mouse. Then the tablet lost contact with the keyboard and track-pad. Tried to restore Windows, but got a message telling me no recovery partition was found. Then the screen went black. The tablet did not recognise the power switch, and it was impossible to reset or switch it off. Pressed the button for more than one minute. Funny thing is the mouse pointer from the bluetooth mouse moved around, but nothing else was visible. I could see in my router that the tablet was connected to my Wi-Fi, so it was not completely dead. Left it over-night and tested it in the morning, but still not able to wake it up or shut it down. Back from work in the evening it had obviously drained the batteries, and wake up normally when connected to the charger.  When the batteries was fully charged I switched it off (not sleep). It was not possible to switch it on again without using the charger. I have not been able to replicate this, but it is not a good feeling to have a mobile unit that can lock itself up completely, or not wake up without external power.... Windows log files indicates that it shut down because of power loss about 15 hours after the initial freeze.The bluetooth mouse was installed with standard Windows driver. Tablet is European / Nordic version manufactured 12. jan 2014. Bios is 95CN12WW, 25.12.2013. I do really hope Lenovo manage to sort of the trouble with this tablet. Its quite nice, and I like it except the scary feeling of being stuck with a brick.

    Are you sure you are doing it correcly?
    A hard reset is performed by holding down the power button while sticking something thin (paper clip) into the back reset hole of your device. Keep your hand on the power button while you release the paper clip from the reset hole. The screen will now say "Palm Powered." Take your hand off the power button. You will now see a screen in 5 languages prompting you to erase all data from the palm. The screen will say "erase all data? Yes - up, no - down" and you need to click on the up arrow (silver button on the 5 way navigator on the bottom of the palm). This will erase all the info from your device.

  • My external hard disk not working properly in my macbook pro . anyone help me . its seagate  hard disk

    My external hard disk not working properly in my macbook pro . anyone help me . its seagate  hard disk

    You need to get some software that allows your Mac to read and write to the NTFS disk.  There's a whole bunch of stuff out there, but this program has a good review, and you can try it for free.  I would move everything off of your external drive, reformat it into Mac OSX extended, and use it for your Mac.  You don't need NTFS anymore, unless you still have a Windows computer that needs it.

  • Signed up twice for adobe pdf export to word and still not working - anyone else have this problem?

    signed up twice for adobe pdf export to word and still not working - anyone else have this problem?

    In XI.
    I can’t just export to word as I have done in the past in one simple click.  
    Convert to button is greyed out.
    Now I have to save the pdf file on c drive when I am in outlook…then goto export pdf file…then find file then export to word.
    I bought new computer with windows 8 (which is awful) and then bought pdf export again…
    Any thoughts on how I can get back to one simple click again when I open a pdf file from an email in outlook?
    Thank you,

  • HT201436 Hello, my name is brad and I recently had a voicemail app that I was using and now i got rid of it. But now my voicemail for the phone will not work. I tried to reset the network settings and nothing happened. I was wondering if you could help me

    Hello, my name is brad and I recently had a voicemail app that I was using and now i got rid of it. But now my voicemail for the phone will not work. I tried to reset the network settings and nothing happened. I was wondering if you could help me out?

    When you set up a voicemail redirection, usually you have to remove that redirection from the account that redirected it.  Like Google Voice, if you activate Google Voice to receive your voicemail, you will have to log into voice.google.com to turn it off.  If you contact your carrier, they can tell you exactly what program has taken over your voicemail functionality just in case you are stuck, but if you know the name of that App, I'm sure you will be able to figure it out.  Hope this helps you out.

  • Soft reset not working...screen black, led blinking

    so basically...i soft reset my phone...(by the way this upgrade is a pain!)...and the screen went black (normal), but the led light just kept blinking.  i thought maybe because of the upgrade it needed more time or something.
    so i decided to leave my phone and go get ready for work thinking by the time i'm ready to jet, it would be up and running...
    45 minutes later...NOTHING.  still black.  still blinking.  so i did a hard reset which worked just fine.
    but i had to soft reset my phone again (why? the alerts sounds stopped working...resetting it makes them work again)....but same deal:  black screen, blinking led.
    anyone know whats going on?  is soft reset just dead now with the new upgrade?
    btw - the blackberry folks know about the alert sounds issue...it's currently being looked at.
    anyway...HELP!

    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Depending on the LED flashing it could be boot rom failure.

    my phone doesn't ring when someone is calling, but the sound works otherwise, like the alarm etc. I have tried to fix it in settings but still not working. anyone else have this problem?

    Thanks so much but none of that helped.  It was driving me crazy because it would back up another external drive.  I just changed the name of the drive from iPhoto/iTunes Library to Media Libraries and IT WORKED!! I guess for some reason it didn't like the drive being called iPhoto or iTunes ???? I don't understand but I have tried so many solutions and exchanging things out but the name change did it????!!!
    Thank you for your help and replying to this.  Guess I made my own issue!

  • The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using. Now, no reactions. What should I do?

    The button on my Ipod Touch (the big one just below the screen) will not work when I press it. Nothing happens, when before it would wake my IPod out of sleep mode, and exit out of programs I was using (ex. ITunes or Safari to main screen) . Now, no reactions. When I press the button, it appears to be more indented then it was before. What should I do? Do I need to get it fixed or replaced, or is this a problem I can fix on my own? Whatever it is, I really need some advice. Thanks in advance.

    How are you resetting the password?
    Resetting User Password in Lion, Mountain Lion & Mavericks
    Boot into your Recovery Partition by hold down the Command and R keys whilst booting.
    When the Recovery screen appears, go to the Utilities menu and open Terminal.
    In Terminal, type:
    resetpassword
    ...a small app will open and allow you to choose the user for whom you want to change the password. If you are the admin, be certain that you choose your admin user. Type in your new password twice and give yourself a good hint. Click OK (or Done or whatever) and reboot, enjoying the use of your new, hopefully memorable, password.
    Good luck,
    Clinton
