  • I have an iPhone 4 that I need to reset completely. If I erase all content and settings, will it no longer be registered under my phone number?

    I have an iPhone 4 that I need to reset completely. If I erase all content and settings, will it no longer be registered under my phone number?

    Yes, the phone will still be connected to your Verizon account. In order to remove it from your Verizon account, you will either need to activate another phone on that number or disconnect the number.

  • Icon with Dev Preview running 8.1 - will I need to reset to get the Denim firmware?

    Apologies if this has been asked already, but I'm running DP 8.1 on my Icon (no issues, other than heavy lag for startup screen) and am wondering if I'll need to reset my phone to 8.0 to get Verizon's blessed version of 8.1 with Denim firmware?  Thanks!

    You shouldn't need to. I've read some people with 928s or 822s have disable the PFD app, though. That's just a simple check box.
    The real question remains. WHEN is this coming. We're in a better position than we were a week ago but still in the dark as to a real date.

  • RV042 - need to reset to access the Internet

    Hi,
    My RV042 need to be reset everytime I need to have access to the net.  It's working for some time and I need to reset it again.  I tried to reset the params, reinstall the latest firmware (V 1.3.19xxx latest available on site for my version).
    I tried with another router by removing the RV042 and do not have this issue on my network.  Is it the end?  Anyone with a suggestion?
    Thanks!

    We will need more information on your environment.
    > What services are you using on the RV042? Are you using Content filter for example.
    No content filtering.  DHCP and VPN.  The rest is factory or off.
    > What ISP do you have? is it DSL, Cable, T1?
    Cable by Videotron
    > Do you have a Static IP or DHCP for your Internet IP.
    DHCP
    > Is it locking up all the time or sporadically?
    Works for a time after a reset but then lock all the time
    > What Hardware version is the RV042?
    V1 I think.  The router is at home and I'm at the office now.
    >What  is locking up? Can you ping or still get to the inside of the router.  Can you Ping your gateway or the ISP's gateway address. Is it you can  ping >the Internet let say 4.2.2.2 but not google.com.
    I can't get out pass the router.  I can get in the router or any resource on the LAN but can't get out to the WAN.  Ping or any other services.
    >With  this information we will be able to give a better answer to what could  be causing your problems and what we might be able to do to resolve the  >problem.
    >Have you tried to call in for support from the Cisco Small Business call center?
    No not yet.  I tried the forum first is someone already had the same issues.

  • I need to reset Firefox, but the Help icon (first step) does not appear in the Menu.

    I am attempting to reset Firefox (for Linux/Ubuntu 12.04 LTS), which has gone a bit wonky... but following the procedure, the first thing is to select "Help" (icon "Question Mark) and proceed from there. Unfortunately, there is no help icon displayed in the choices as it is shown on the Firefox website.
    It's rather like trying to find a corner in a round room.
    As an aside, amongst the problems I am experiencing, is the appearance of green, grey, and black rectangular boxes in the browser window. Visually, it is like the text that usually appears there is being "masked" or something.
    (Perhaps) A propos of nothing.. this seems to have happened on the heels of a regular Ubuntu Update.
    Thanks for any advice/guidance.

    PS - I wanted to u/l a screen shot, but was unable to do.

    hello Jaguar07, you can also access that page directly by entering '''about:support''' into the address bar of your firefox browser.

  • After a malware attack last week that rewrote my registers I had to restart from a restore point. The problem is now when firefox wants to update, it want to use the site that contains malware. I need to reset it to the proper site how do I do this?

    My son was using the cpu at the time of the first attack. He got it cleared out and working. A day later it hit again when I was using the computer. As soon as I saw the fake virus scan I brought up taskmaster and stopped it. Almost immediately it started running again so I stopped it a second time. When I did, it shut down windows explorer. The only thing that would run was the malware. I brought it up at a restore point and it ran normally. This cycle has been repeated several times.
    Both Avast and SpybotSD will find and delete the malware, and both of these update normally. I think that when firefox updates itself, it is requesting data from a malware site rater than from you. How do I reset this?

    Try this:
    #Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''Advanced '''and click the '''Network '''tab.
    #In the Offline Storage menu, click the '''Clear Now''' button.
    #In the location bar, type '''about:config '''and hit Enter.
    #In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
    #Double click it and remove whatever's in there. You'll see it revert to "Default" and "String".
    #Go to File | Exit
    #Restart Firefox and go to the page you want to set as your homepage
    #Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.
    #Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
    #Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

  • I got a blacklisted iphone 5 from att and I reset it and now when I try to set it up it needs a sim card so I went to the att store and they put a sim in and on the iPhone it says replacement needed couldn't complete activation.i just want use it as a ip

    I got a blacklisted iphone 5 from att and I reset it and now when I try to set it up it needs a sim card so I went to the att store and they put a sim in and on the iPhone it says replacement needed couldn't complete activation.i just want use it as a ipod

    To use it as an iPod it must be activated...to do that it has to accept a sim.  A blacklisted iPhone cannot do that.  Take it back to AT and T where you got it and get your money back.

  • Why does the iTunes AppleID system refuse to work properly without the need to reset the password every time I open iTunes for use?

    Alright so here is the issue. When I first started using iTunes I created my AppleID. I locked it in to remember my password and authorize my computer so that I would NEVER HAVE TO ENTER IT AGAIN. So years pass, no problem. Then "ITUNES 11" come on everyone lets upgrade or you can't proper use the iTunes Store. Seriously it wouldn't let me access the store. Go Figure. So I upgrade simple right? No. It really isn't when iTunes 11 rolled out it was riddled with minor bugs that made the experience annoying so I did a rollback and live without the store for awhile.
    About a year passes and I try again this time upgrading iTunes through a COMPLETE fresh install, again I did what had done the first time I logged my AppleID and reauthorized my computer. Hurrah other than getting use to the new UI it ran perfectly. Yes Finally! Right? Again.... No. No more than 2 or 3 software updates later suddenly my password for my AppleID is incorrect I was like "Okay?" and re-entered it thinking the big update cleared my settings.
    Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
    I was like okay maybe the user agreement change and we all need to reset passwords and re-accept the EUA. So I go through the process to create a new password successfully and reset my AppleID in iTunes with the new password. Come back a few weeks later it happens again this time I enter my new password and what do I get?
    Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
    So I first do a repair install to my iTunes than reset my password this time NOT setting it to remember password. Great everything works fine again password even matched my Home CompID so that I could NEVER lose it well come a few days later I try to use the store and what happens?
    Wrong Password please reset password to continue using the iTunes store.
    to try to make my Long story a little shorter....
    This has been going on for the better part of 3 years I have almost completely dropped iTunes which has the better store library for Goggle Play Music who's store library isn't even a third the size iTunes has because their system works and my log-in is my e-mail. I repeatedly completely uninstalled iTunes and wiped it from my registry in hope a clean install would fix the problem but it never does.
    My OS is Vista Home Premium Edition 32-bit and no picking on my OS I been working to get a new computer but that isn't happening anytime soon so I work with what I got.

    Even removing the .xml files doesn't make a difference. Also, I now installed another update of iTunes, but still having the same problem, and this time there are no .xml files or preference files whatsoever in the Application Data and Local Settings\Application Data iTunes folders. It seems like for some reason iTunes is unable to create these. What should I do?

  • I deleted my old email address and now I can't acess icloud because I can't remember my password to the icloud account.  It is not allowing me to log in obviously and now my old email is showing under the settings now do i need to reset the iphone?

    I deleted my old email account and when i went to change everything on my iphone it still shows the old email even though i created a new apple id.  I also can't remember the password and now can't access icloud.  Do i need to reset the phone?

    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact AppleCare(or Apple ID Support), upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • HT1267 I need to reset my phone to it's original settings after backing it up, but it has been locked for months and I can NOT remember the password.  What do I do???  It's an iPhone 4

    I need to reset my phone to it's original settings after backing it up. It has been locked for several months and I do not remember the passcode. How do I do this???  HELP!!!

    -Options for when an iOS device gets locked because of forgotten password-
    Restore (and reset password) on your device by connecting it to the last computer to which it was connected:
    iTunes: Backing up, updating, and restoring iOS software - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414
    If you cannot connect it to the computer to which the device was last connected you will have to use recovery mode to completely reset the device, losing all data:
    iOS: Unable to update or restore - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808 - recovery mode (e.g., cannot connect to computer last used to sync device)

  • Firefox is unable to update to 7.0.1. I get an error that The operation can't be completed because the item "libsmime3.dylib" is in use. I found this is a Cisco folder, tried to trash it, but it won't leave. Maybe I need it?

    The operation can’t be completed because the item “libsmime3.dylib” is in use.
    This is the error message I get when i try to install the 7.0.1 update. I found a cisco folder on my MAC and tried to Trash it. It won't leave. Maybe I need it... Some of it did Trash, but what ever is left continues to prevent 7.0.1 from installing.

    OK I looked at an old Apple forum and someone suggested Trash then Restart then Empty Trash, and it worked. Cisco is gone, Opt is gone, and I was able to load FireFox. I had to give admin passwords to do this too. Why an old weird game or library folder could cause such obstacles is a wonder. But I'd rather wonder about other things...
