Reset my airport extreme to factory settings, now getting flashing amber light. Airport utility scan does not see the device, so I cannot access any setup.
How do I make contact with the unit?

I found another thread from the June 3rd with the same issue. They seam to have a solution, but I am using windows. Does anyone know how to update older AXs on windows computers?

I cannot get my AirPort Extreme to factory reset

I can't get my AirPort Extreme to factory reset

Pull the power cord from the back of the AirPort Extreme
Wait a few minutes
Hold in the reset button first, and then keep holding it for an additional 10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power back into the AirPort Extreme
Release the reset button after the hold period
Allow a full minute for the AirPort Extreme to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
If the AirPort Extreme is functioning correctly, it has now been reset.
If you try this procedure a few times and the Extreme still will not reset, then you may have a defective Extreme. Take the device to an Apple Store.....if you have one near you.....so they can take a look. Or, contact Apple Support directly.

I reset my airport express to factory settings, reconfigured it and then try to play it and this message popped up. Where do I go from here? An unknown error (-15006) occurred while connecting to the AirPlay device "John Knox's AirPort Express".

Hi, I am going to reset my Macbook Pro to factory settings but I would like to back it up first. I have backed it up to an external Hard Drive so if I were to wipe the laptop, would i be able to retrieve all of my files and applications

Hi, I am going to reset my Macbook Pro to factory settings but I would like to back it up first. I have backed it up to an external Hard Drive so if I were to wipe the laptop, would i be able to retrieve all of my files and applications. (Office Mac, Adobe CS6, Logic Pro)

When OS X asks you to restore a backup, it will allow you to select what you want to restore from the backup, Just select the things you need, because if you select everything, you will be in the same status as before restoring the Mac to factory settings. This has nothing to do with erasing the hard drive
It's OK to make backups with Time Machine

I followed the steps to restore to factory settings now I can't get back my info from a prior backup. My pads screen was frozen on the connect to iTunes I needed to restore. I had to setup my pad as if it was new. How do I acess my prior backup

Once again, KP is correct, but I just want to add that if you don't see the backup in the drop down menu on the summary page of iTunes when you choose the restore from backup option, then the backup is unfortunately gone. If you backup your computer, the iPad backup should probably be in that computer backup. I use Time Machine with my MacBook Pro and can access backups from months ago.
On a side note, I also archive backups from time to time. If you right click on a backup name in iTunes>Edit>Preferences>Devices (Windows) or iTunes>Preferences>Devices (Mac) you can save that backup or archive it. It will be date and time stamped. I have no idea why I do this to the degree that I do it, but I probably have 12-14 iPad backups archived in iTunes.

After resetting my backbook pro to factory settings, it freezes every time it boots up. What's the problem?

After resetting my backbook pro to factory settings, it freezes every time it boots up. What's the problem?

by the way, you can also try to safe boot up your mac for safe mode. maybe it can work and you can deal with problem there.
for safe boot:
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).

HT5278 If I reset my iPad 1 to factory settings, how would I then update the iOS to 5.1.1

If I reset my iPad 1 to factory settings, how would I then update the iOS to 5.1.1?
As I believe the update would fail as it would be attempting to update to iOS 7 which is 'above its paygrade' or at least this is what an apple genius told me...
He said he thought I would need to find an old version of iTunes containing the correct version of iOS. But he was not very confident about what he was telling me.
Any help would be much appreciated...

Hmmm
I may be asking the wrong question here, let's back up a little.
I have an iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1
Over the years it has become a little laggy and sluggish. I am about to replace it and wish to 'recycle' this old one onto my granddaughter.
I want to completely wipe it, and get rid of all traces of the hundreds of app it's had on and deleted, in the hopes that it will clean up any residual crud that's choking it.
Is a factory reset what I'm looking for?
What I had in mind, is what I have done with my iPhone on a couple of occasions which was to completely start over with it and I was sure that that had taken the iOS version back to what it was when I took delivery of it. But I may be wrong...

I have just purchased and installed a new Airport extreme base station but now the Airport Utility cannot see my old Airport Express. Are their compatibility issues and do I need to purchase a new Express?

When you can, take a look at the old AirPort Express and locate the model number in the faint print on the side of the device.
If you see A1084 or A1088, this is an older Express version that is no longer supported by the current version of AirPort Utility that you are using with the new AirPort Extreme.
If that is the case, your Express is at least 6 years old...probably older...so it is about time to treat yourself to a new version with much faster speeds and more features.
