My wifi reset itself

My wifi reset itself and took the phone back to the start up page? And now I can't access the wifi within my home but my iPad can. Any reason for this?

LOL.. it would be an amazing coincidence if it just happened to reset to factory.. when you were not looking. Hmmm I would suspect tampering.. get out the infrared camera .. !!
There are reports of sudden power dropouts that wipe out the settings.. but I often wonder if that is the kids trying the main breaker.. !! And then press the reset so they can blame the power outage.. !!

  • Ipad 3 64GB wifi resets itself

    I bought my ipad 3 in the first week of its release but I cannot remember the exact purchase date.
    In the past 12 months it has reset itself 3 times. First two times it happened was last summer and fall.
    I was at home so restore was easy and I did not bother reporting this incident.
    Right now I am traveling overseas with very young kids. We used ipad to keep my 3 year old busy during 18 hour flights.
    A few days ago ipad reset itself. This has been tough because we will return to united states next weekend.
    I have had to get broadband installed to restore the ipad. I was unable to restore the movies. Internet speed is not great.
    I have had to buy new movies from iTunes to make the return flight bearable.
    After this I cannot imagine traveling with ipad again until this issue is fixed.
    I don't remember what my support options are. I will not be back in US until end of this month and I am certain that I will be over 1 year purchase anniversary.
    Let me know if you have any suggestions for me.

  • Windows 8 Wireless adapter problem. - WIFI reset itself.

    Hello,
    I have the same problem, but only after I installed the HP wireless printer (8500 & 8600).  Have you found a solution yet?
    I have windows 8 now and had no problem with 7.

    Hi disconnected33,
    I see you are having difficulty with your wireless. Please provide me with some detail to help me better understand the issue and the environment.
    Is the printer connected wirelessly or with a Ethernet cable?
    Is the printer connected directly to a wall outlet or a surge protector? (It is best to connect directly to the wall)
    Where is the router located with respect to the computer and printer?
    Is it a standalone router or a modem/router?
    Does the issue seem to be the printers connecting to the network, the computer or both?
    Is this an HP laptop or a different brand?
    While I wait to hear back from you, if you have Windows, and if you haven't already tried the HP Print and Scan Doctor, please do so and let me know the outcome. You will see a wrench, a yellow exclamation mark, a red X, or a check mark next each tested item.

  • HP Officejet Pro 8500A Periodically resets itself

    About every 20 minutes the screen on my HP Officejet Pro 8500A goes blank, then redisplays, followed by the carriage shifting sounding like the printer is resetting itself to print a job.  I'm set up on a WiFi connection and have no screen blanking set.  This resetting is VERY disconcerting as it happens with no warning.  How can I stop this periodic reset?
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Hi HevnLgh,
    I completed all of the steps you recommended and they did not solve the problem.  However two days later the problem has disappeared.
    The problem was not that the printer was powering off.  Also it was not connected to a computer in any manner other than WiFi, though it did have a phone line connection to send/receive FAXes.  The printer display was blanking for a few seconds, followed by redisplay and carriage movement that sounded just like when it was getting ready to print.  However no printout resulted, nor was there any print job pending.
    Now the display goes dim periodically for a few seconds, but comes back on.  However there is no longer any carriage movement or other noises.  Since the sudden noise was always the annoying factor I'm satisfied that the issue is resolved.

  • 60G iPod 'Resets' itself sporadically... What's Up with that?

    I have a 60G iPod that has about 2800 songs loaded (+ about a dozen jpg images). Loaded from a WIN2K based PC using iTunes 6.0.4.2 and the latest iPod Update software.
    When playing, the unit will sporadically 'Reset' itself (Run through shutdown/startup while displaying the Apple Logo) with no button pushes or any other contact. It's to the point now where it is never a matter of "IF" it will do it, simply a matter of "WHEN" or "HOW SOON" it will occur... very, very frustrating!!! Sometimes I can run about 30-45 minutes before it happens, sometimes it happens on the second or third song (5 or 10 minutes).
    I have Reset the iPod, Upgraded the iPod to the latest OS, Reinstalled OS and consistently upgraded to the newest iTunes version, and Restored the iPod to factory level Zero and then reloaded all 2700+ songs and 13 photos... no changes... still dumps whenever it decides to.
    Oh yeah... it sits in a BOSE dock, charging every night so the power should be adequate.
    Any ideas or insights from ANYONE? Thanks in Advance for your reply/response!!!
    I'm getting exceedingly frustrated, especially when I see my wife's 30G operate absolutely fine. Don't know if song count makes any difference but she doesn't has barely begun to load any real quantity of material yet...
    iPod v5 60G   Windows 2000  

    Here is my 'tech/test report' for the day:
    I plugged in the iPod to my work computer, same as yesterday. No songs in library, etc, etc.
    Using the iPod as the song file source, and playing the songs using iTunes as the controlling interface, this thing played all day, hour after hour, with no resets, no issues of any type.
    After ejecting the iPod and playing it on the way home, I was able to get approximately one (1) hour of play time before the iPod went into the 'AUTO-RESET' mode, by rebooting itself with no contact.
    I believe we state with a high level of assurance the issue is neither MECHANICAL (i.e. a bad or tempermental hard-drive) or due to bad files. The iPod did what it was supposed to do for hours when using an external (i.e. Workstation) user interface (iTunes). Although possible, I still doubt the RESET issue stems from a battery/power triggered event.
    I tend to believe the issue lies somewhere within the UI or OS on the unit itself. Perhaps some memory cache that fails to clear and eventually fills and forces a reset?
    Still searching for THE solution...
    Ps: I WILL NOT BE UPGRADING TO 1.1.1 ... those issues look REALLY UGLY!!! Atleast I still get to listen to SOME songs before it bites the dust!

  • IPAD resetting itself and will not activate after restore

    Hi
    I got an iPAD 3G+WIFI just over a month ago and everything was working fine. all of a sudden it just started resetting itself. I got a message on screen saying I should restore the iPAD and a strange error saying "iPhone cannot call" (or something like that) so I connected to iTunes, backup, and restored. The problem is that after restore the iPAD won't activate and iTunes puts up an error saying "We're sorry, iPAD is damaged. Please take to the closest Apple store". (I tried all sorts of forced restart and restore that I found in various forums but it just won't activate)
    Now...the additional problem... I got this as a gift from the US, but I live in Malta (Europe) and the closest Apple store is basically in another country!! The local Apple agent isn't licensed for servicing iPADs yet.
    1. Can this be solved via software?
    2. Is it possible to ship back via post?
    Thanks

    I sounds like a hardware problem to me. I suspect you can send it back but first your typically need and RMA number which you get from Apple. Have you asked the locale store of how to send it back? Since it seem that it is within the 90 day free telephone support period you should be able to call Apple in the USA for shipping instruction. Go to the USA Apple site to find contact information.

  • HT5577 phone just reset itself and wont let me activate?

    If you are not a developer:
    You have to restore your phone.
    Open iTunes
    Plug in your phone
    Hold down the home button and power button at the same time
    When the screen goes black let go of the power button but not the home button
    Restore the iPhone
    Wait for about an eternity
    Tell god you are sorry you stole from apple in the summer and you will never do it again.

  • Why does wifi turn itself on and off since upgrading to Mavericks?

    I am able to use ethernet to get online but wifi turns itself on and off. If I turn it on automatically it connects to the network (both at work and at home) and then it turns wifi off again. If I just leave it alone wifi automatically turns on, connects to the network, and then turns itself on again. This was not happening prior to upgrading to Mavericks yesterday.

    Have you tried a SMC/PRAM reset ?
    Try backing up and then deleting this file:
    com.apple.airport.preferences.plist
    from this folder:
    /Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguration/
    Now reboot and check if the issue is resolved.
    If that does not work, Can you post your system.log file messages when the issue occurs and I can take a look and help.

  • Mid-2010 MacBook Pro Resets Itself

    I bought my 13" Macbook Pro in September of last year. Lately it has intermittently started resetting itself, meaning in the middle of whatever I'm working on, my screen will suddenly turn a light blue color, then the desktop will reload afresh, with all the applications I'd been working on previously no longer open. It seems to happen when I'm switching between programs, primarily when I'm switching back to Safari or Word, but that may just be coincidence. It's frustrating, but I haven't lost any data yet. I've run all software updates, if that makes any difference.
    Any thoughts? Thanks!

    I suppose I should have mentioned that I've been making frequent Time Machine backups and save my most important files in cloud storage. I'm certainly not averse to making a Genius Bar appointment, but I do have reservations about how much they'll be able to help given that I can't reproduce the problem at will.

  • Mac OS 10.4 reset itself

    Hi,
    I was using my PowerBook G4 today like I always do. I was downloading some new icons from the apple website and I was writing a paper for school. I was pasting some of these new icons onto folders, when my customize buttons on the Finder dissappeared. I thought the computer was just having a small problem, so I restarted it.
    When I did that, the entire OS was changed. The dock was reset back to factory settings (except instead of the icons appearing, they were question marks). My iTunes library was erased, as was my iPhoto library (and all of my other applications were reset). My edits to the Finder (such as backgrounds) were set back to white, and edits inside of applications were undone (for instance, my bookmarks in Safari were reset back to factory settings).
    What happened? And is there a way to recover the settings I had put into the computer? It didn't delete my MS Word and Excel files, but it seems to have deleted or reset everything else. I have had no problems with my computer before. Nothing like this has ever happened to it before. Thanks for your help in advance.
    PowerBook G4 12.1 1.5 GHz 512 MB RAM   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Update:
    After digging around more, I've found most of my files. My iTunes music is all there for instance. However, I have to reimport the files into iTunes to get them to play.
    So, my question is now... what happened? Why did my computer reset itself, but not delete my files? And how do I keep this from happening again in the future?

  • My iphone 3gs is not working properly, when switched on it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and more often than not just resets itself.

    My iPhone 3gs is not working properly and hasn't been since about September of last year. When switched on (Quite often it won't even turn on) it says 'Update Completed' as though it has just been updated. On the next screen it says to 'Connect to iTunes'. It doesn't, however, connect to iTunes and just resets itself over and over until power is gone. Occasionally after switching on and off a few times it functions normally for a few hours and some times even a couple of days but eventually always turns itself off and goes back to the 'Update Completed' screen. Does anyone know what might be causing this and/or a way of fixing it?

    Morning JordenR,

  • ITunes keeps resetting itself

    I got my Sony VAIO laptop just before christmas and downloaded itunes from this website onto it. But every few days it resets itself and all my music, playlists and the genius sidebar disappear. To fix it I just drag and drop all the stuff in the itunes music folder back into itunes, but it's very frustrating and I shouldn't have to do it. I never experienced this with my home computer which also operates on vista. Has anyone experienced this and is there a way to fix it?

    The Sony Media Management software is causing a conflict with itunes.

    Tonight I was taking extremely important photos throughout an event on my iPhone 4, however, my iPhone 4 ran out of battery once I was near a charger I plugged it in and for some reason my iPhone had reset itself.
