Memory full/freezing/want hard reset

I have a palm pilot Z22 that has been freezing up lately. The memory is getting close to full. So I thought if I do a hard reset and delete evrerything I could start over with a clean "hard drive". I am wondering if I do a hard reset, will I lose all the contact info that has been synced with my computer after the hard reset? For example, with iTunes whatever is on your ipod is on your computer itunes and vise versa. With my palm, I want to keep all the info in contacts but now add more to it with a freed up memory. Any suggestions?

Make sure you hotsync to make Palm Desktop or Outlook (whichever you use) to make it current. Hard reset the handheld, change the hotsync conduits to desktop overwrites handheld and then sync.
For reference purposes, click on the following link for the support page for your device on the kb.palm.com webpage.
http://kb.palm.com/wps/portal/kb/na/zire/z22/unlocked/home/page_en.html
There are links on the page to the user guide, troubleshooting, how to's, downloads, etc.
The best way to preserve your data is to export the data in each category in Palm Desktop to a seperate folder on your PC.
Create a new folder on your PC somewhere that is convenient. Name it something like Palm Desktop Data. Click on the link below and follow the instructions on that page for the export procedure.
http://www.palm.com/cgi-bin/cso_kbURL.cgi?ID=28734
Make sure you select all for the range in the export window.
With the data saved in the folder you created, make a copy of that folder and save to a flash drive, cd-rw or external hard drive.
Anytime you make a change in Palm Desktop, export the data that was changed to that folder and save again to the external media.
With this process you can always import the data back into Palm Desktop anytime you have a problem with the data in Palm Desktop or if your computer/hard drive/device crashes.

Wi-fi freezes after Hard Reset

I hard reset my Palm TX and then did a Hot Sync. When I tried to connect to Wi-fi or switch radio on the screen goes white and freezes. I did another Hard Reset without Hot Syncing afterwards and tried again with the same result. Do I have a hardware problem or is this a known problem with the TX which I can resolve myself with the right information. I don't want to have to spend a fortune sending it to Palm for repair if it is not necessary.
Post relates to: Palm TX

Hi KathrynB, Welcome to the Palm Support Community.
Sadly, I've been hearing more of these reports of TX Wifi failures as the device ages...
Perhaps about a dozen total, but there seems to be no solution to fixing the problem.
Palm's repair prices are just silly. If you wish to try getting it repaired, try looking into usedpdaparts.com or directfix.com.

When is Memory erased in a hard reset on a 755p?

I have a 755p that the digitizer and screen calibration has gone wacky. When I draw a stright line across the bottom of the screen the resulting line on the display is a half moon curve starting at the bottom rising to mid screen and dropping toward the edge. It happened after about a 3 foot drop to pavement. I performed a hard reset and am to the point of calibrating the screen, because of the disconnect in screen position and the image i cannot get past the calbration screen. Now with all that as background, I have receive an insurance replacement phone. The insurnace company expects me to return the old phone. My issue and question is, I have lots of important info in the memory of the phone and I'm wondering, in a hard reset, at what point in the process is the data in memory no longer accessable or erased? I don't want to return the phone and have a savvy technician able to access my important information
Thanks in advance for any advise...

Similar issue - History:
Began experiencing device.exe crash about 1-2 minutes after soft reset [after installing old 3.x beta of Skype app]. Also could not turn on BT or Wifi after installation completed or after soft resets. Both symptoms continued after uninstalling both the Skype app and the fenec browser.
Executed full sync of device and performed a hard reset. I have performed several hard resets to see if that would work and no luck.
The hang is occuring roughly half-way through eboot(?) load of WinMo image from flash (screen with out-of focus lights and progress bar).
Note that I did not purchase a SIM card with the Treo - so slot is empty. I also installed a 16GB transflash that was working A-OK - have removed it until I can get device to boot again.
My experience with developing CE (5/6) images with Platform Builder tells me I may have a corrupted ROM image (or worse - faulty flash block/hardware). Is there a way to obtain and reflash the treo pro (850UEU unlocked ROM image to make sure this isn't a HW issue (without going to third(?)-party images/flashing utilities)?
I purchased the unit recently as an open-box from TigerDirect - several of the qwerty keypad buttons do not work (including power button and wifi button) - shouldn't be interfering with this stage of boot, though...
Any help you can provide in solving this issue would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

ITunes freezes forcing hard reset

Hello,
I recently experienced a never-ending beachball while writing a message in Mail. iTunes had been open while writing the message. Since then, whenever I launch iTunes, it bounces in the dock for ever, and as soon as I click elsewhere or command-tab, the whole system freezes. If I don't click/command-tab, it will presumably sit there forever, beachballing while the iTunes icon bounces in the dock (I have left it for up to 15 minutes). Everything else on the system works fine.
I have tried resetting the PRAM and repairing disk permissions. I have not received a single error message through this, but I cannot open iTunes.
I am on a 2009 13" MBP (2.53ghz 4GB), running 10.7.1.
I would appreciate any assistance the community may provide.
Regards,
Paul

Missing Widgets after Hard Reset - Nokia Astound

Hi ~ I had to do a hard reset as my Nokia Astound was freezing up. The phone is working better but it deleted all of my data, of course. Now some of the widgets are gone as well - such as the Social Network one, You Tube and Visual Voicemail. Any way I can get these back? Thanks so much!

I know the pop up you are refering to. You had some applications installed on your memory card before the hard reset. The hard reset broke the link to those applications on the memory card which the phone then tries to restore after the the reset. My advice is to either reformat your memory card and reinstall everything from scratch or ignore the pop up, go through all yor apps, see which ones aren't working and reinstall them.
There is no need to do a factory reset after a full hard reset. See if that solves your profile issue.

E66- always says " memory full"

Hi guys,
do somebody has the same problem- and solution. I installed latest 300.21.012 on my E66, but often / 2-3 times per day/ the phone just stops to answer to me and when i push some of the short buttons , the device says : "memory full, please close some app" and that is it. I have to restart the phone. The terrible thing is at morning clock alarm- i woke up and see that the phone is already blocked by himself.
I format memory card, made a hard reset, after that update /reinstall latest firmware, but still problems.
When a make a restore only of contacts & calendar appointments the problem is often. When i input them manually / ~70 rows/ the problem is showing seldom.
Funny thing is that i do not have any problem with camera strips
My greetings to Nokia for the phone, but i think the firmware is not suitable.
Can somebody tell me some solution for this problem, or this phone is just not reliable.

My E66 problems after update /discussions/board/message?board.id=swupdate&thread.id=53928
I can't help but, something memorycard accsessproblems after update,
(i think Nokia made some misstake in the update with the memorycard accsess).
memorycard may not always work, then it store averything on phone memory instead.
I by a new cheep 2 GB memorycard, with that i see no moore problems.
Next update i'm gonna try without memorycard in the phone.

Is there a Full Hard Reset for 5800xp

is there a Full Hard Reset Trick for 5800xp v.30.0.011
i want to reset the phone memory or format it please help me .
phones i have 2730c - C1
KUDOS ME IF YOU FIND MY ANSWERS HELP FULL

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!

10.7.2 Lion freezing / apps lock up, must hard reset 2-3 times daily

I've seen several posts on this -- oddly, some of them are archived even though there has been no resolution...
Would love to hear people's experiences and especially if you have a fix. Would REALLY love it if Apple would get off their duff and give us a working O/S.
Ever since upgrading to Leopard I've been having problems with system stability and, specifically, with lockups. Usually this starts out with a few applications get "hung" (beach ball). Again, usually, I can force quit them, restart and continue for at least a little while... but, it always marks the beginning of a downward spiral. The final straw seems to be when Finder locks up. Once Finder locks, the system becomes unresponsive overall and I can't shut down without doing a hard reset (either cmd-opt-power or, more often, just hold power until a get a hard reboot).
Some of the behaviors I'm seeing:
Apps start to lockup. Best option at this point is to quickly shut everything down and restart. On occasion I get a software restart if I'm prompt about it.
Finder locks up... forget it. Hardware restart is in my future... will generally try to save work, but it seems that anything involving disk / file system access is completely frozen.
About one out of two times, the login screen is very slow to appear (about a 2 minute boot), and then it fails to respond to my wireless keyboard &/or mouse. Sometimes the mouse works, keyboard doesn't. If I wait for 1-2 minutes, it will usually "wake up" and suddenly gets all of the input in one blast... but usually I lose patience, open up the laptop, do another hard reset.
Sometimes the screen saver won't release control of the machine (much like login screen). I can move the mouse, tap keys, etc., screen saver just keeps right on running blithely along...
On rare occasion, even the force quit panel (cmd-opt-escape) refuses to appear.
Of late, I've taken to launching Terminal on login so that it's available (because after the lockups start, I won't be able to launch it). Then, I can issue a "shutdown -r now" which, most of the time, seems to work pretty well. I hate doing a hard reset, always worried it will lead to a damaged file structure or lost work.
I've tried a number of fixed, including (at the height of it) reinstalling 10.7.2, which I did a few days ago. It made no difference at all... Also tried resetting NVRAM, etc. About the only folklore I haven't tried yet is switching to Chrome or Firefox. A lot of people are blaming Safari for all of this, so perhaps I'll try that next...
I'm suspecting that Time Machine is making the situation worse, but turning it off (and disconnecting the drive) does NOT solve the problem. It seems to go a little longer in-between system lockups. Same symptoms... apps become unresponsive, one after the other starts to beach ball, eventually the whole system locks up... I'm wondering if it has something to do with disk access, as posted in other threads. I've been trying to minimize disk access wherever possible, for one, just plugging in my Time Machine drive about once a day, let it backup, then unplug. Not really sure if it's helping or not though.
Currently, I'm running into this on average 3 times daily (worst day was 6 times, best day was just once, yay...) Yes I've been keeping track. By my count I'm also losing up to two hours a day, because the shutdown / reboot process is so baby-sitting intensive (and I have to do it several times a day).
Very, very frustrating. This is definitely the worst O/S release Apple has ever put out there. I'd like to go back to Leopard, but worried about the downgrade... arrrgggh. (Wish Mr. Jobs was still around, somehow I think he would never have tolerated this...)

Hm... what are the specific issues?
I launch iPhoto, use it a few times, and it hangs, requiring a restart of the iMac;
iPhoto complains that I am not connected to the Internet (when trying to display GPS data) when I am fully connected
Magic Mouse's connection drops about every 15 to 40 minutes of typing, often in this Discussion. Apple Care suggested that keeping my battery charge above 50% would solve it. It didn’t.(My batteries are Apple’s, as is the charger.);
When I return my hand to the Magic Mouse, the active window often suddenly scrolls up which looses the position of the pointer. This can cause problems in graphical apps like InDesign;
Mail's boxes display a small triangle every few days and will not send or receive, requiring Mail to be re-launched;
In Mail I cannot get pictures of people to appear in messages sent by them.
In Mail, stationery does not work properly. Neither of these two is an earth-shattering fault, but having been offered them I wasted a lot of time trying to get them to work.)
Time Machine three times over the last 1 1/2 years (OS 10.5 once and Lion twice) has complained that its HD is full when it is only ~1/2 full. A full reset on the last two did not cure it (I had not discovered Pondini's Full Reset until Lion). Pondini's symptom's and solutions did not match the error. Each time I had to erase and start again;
A couple of months ago, as a test, (after confirming my daily bootable backup of my system done by Carbon CopyCloner), I re-installed Lion from the InstallED.dmg, accepted the invitation to restore from TM, and upgraded to 7.2. All looked well except Mail displayed only the Header and first two lines of the body of messages, all the rest of the bodies were blank. Another major thing did not work after this re-installation (I can't remember the details now);
Carbon Copy Cloner can fail to find its Firewire backup HD about every 10th time (I have a daily schedule). The connections to the drive are plugged in OK but the drive is no longer mounted, whether the iMac has been restarted or woken up. CCC has been absolutely rock solid for years until Lion;
My Canon scanner (current driver, and it always worked before Lion), more times than not complains that it cannot start because it is in use elsewhere. I have to unplug its USB and re-connect.
In SystemPrefs > iCloud, a dialogue box said that Sys. Prefs. wants to use confidential info in my keychain. I press “Deny” and the box returns for ever until I force quit Sys. Prefs.
Software Update repeatedly tells me that a certain update is available but I already have installed it.
For those silly enough to install a new OS within a year of its introduction (not me: my iMac came with the wretched thing in it), some bugs can be expected, but not this many (at least in my opinion). All previous updates going back to 1997 have gone much more smoothly than Lion on my machines.
Although I am in a minority (given the huge number of sales of Lion – although MacWorld reports that sales of Lion are faltering), I am sorry to say that I have fallen out of love with Apple. I would gladly trade the elegance and the fancy features for a bit of “Works out of the box”, “It just works”, “Computing for the rest of us”.

E 72 - hard reset and memory card

Hi,
I am having some problems with the E 72 which seem like a virus, and i wanted to know what the options for reformatting are. Should i do a return to factory setting, or a hard reset?
Second, how do i make sure that the memory card is virus free as well? If i format it, how would i recover any pre-installed software that came with the phone?
Thanks

If you are worried only about the preinstalled SW that came with the phone, then they will remain after the hard reset. You will loose your data, configuration and all installed apps.

Screen zoomed can't undo with hard reset or full restore!

I was playing with a particle App and the screen zoomed. It zoomed back but then zoomed again and froze - I tried resets, hard resets, and finally full restore (iOS 4.1) and it still starts up looking normal then suddenly without touching the phone, the screen zooms and you cannot pan.
Is this a hardware failure of some kind? Has anyone experienced this before?

TAP 2 times with 3 fingers !!!
Hope it helps
These useless 'quick buttons' are VERY annoying (2 unitended taps with 3 fingers or 3 unintended clicks with the home button etc.)
Maybe we have people around us that know these tricks, and play games with us, but ....I already restored my phone twice for a perceived VIRUS.
1st time all remained in photo negative (press home button 3 x which I did not know). Lost all my data and the iPhone remaind in negative until someone gave me the 'code' to resolve this. (Really looks like something is wroing: who would want 'negative' as a homebutton feature...?
Then this 'unresolvable' zoom occured today which made me sick and restore. Until I read this forum.
Apple used to be the ultimate 'user friendly' 'foolproof' company, and we all might be fools, but who the **** would want to have a MEGA zoom feature that disallows any operation of your phone and remains even after a restart?!
APPLE:
PLEASE TAKE THESE 'SHORTCUT ACTIVATION' FEATURES OUT of the primary interface
and make many unintended users happy!!
And if they need to be there, put them in the 'settings' menu, because just look at the Forums and draw your own conclusions !!

IMac freezing permanently (requires hard reset)

My parent's iMac has been freezing on them recently, after a fresh install of Snow Leopard.   It locks up, the beachball of death appears, and only a hard reset will get the computer running again.
I checked the kernal.log file and this is what I see for the time period of the freeze:

I ran the Extended Hardware Test 3 times, but there were no errors.   Any other ideas?   I'm coming up with squat while researching.

Memory full/video freeze - backup - Spiderman (!)

Hi
Read lots of these posts regarding memory full errors, so I am planning to upgrade the firmware. However when doing the backup, it's told me that it could not back-up copyright material (I am assuming this is the Spiderman vid that came with it) - Am I right in thinking that I will therefore loose Spiderman when I update the firmware?
The problem with memory manifests itself as follows:
Approximately 5GB free on the phone.
I have 660mb of music
When ever I download more than about 80MB of podcasts, the memory is full ...
I have also suffered from the video freeze problem - once you have a couple of vids on the phone, it will freeze for a couple of seconds. Whilsts other has said it is to do with the I/O speed of the mass memory, I don;t think it is - it is too intermittent. e.g. went to Coldplay gig. First vid - no skip (about 5 mins) 2nd & 3rd attempts to vid - froze after a couple of seconds - then managed 10 minutes straight off. No changes to settings..
Anyhow - if you can let me know about spiderman - is he a gonner on my phone when I update the firmware?

I want to use my iPhone 3GS just as an ipod, not a phone. No sym card. New iOS5 won't allow. What do I do? Can I do a hard reset?

Hey, as far as I know you need a sim card to activate after a restore
It however does not have to be a fully working sim card, just not blocked or with a pass code, I repair/refurb. some iPhones and can only advise to try and get a free sim card from a provider supported on your phone and activate it with this, or maybe someone can lend you theirs for 5 mins?
To clarify, I have heard there are ways around this, but they sound dubious.
