Safari 3.2.1 Resets itself automatically on every startup?

Has anyone else had Safari 3.2 "reset" iself - i.e. somehow it changes your homepage to 'Apple Start Page", and removes some of the toolbar button that I had added manually and also hides my tab bar when you relaunch it. It seems as if you are launching it for the first time.
P.S - I've reinstalled Safari. And tried 4.0 developer version too. But it all comes with the same problem.

I think it was some kind of spyware.

RAZR M reset itself automatically for no apparent reason. Daughter lost all contacts and pictures. She is crushed...Any chance for recovery?

Daughter lost all contacts and pictures. She is crushed...Any chance for recovery?

MeAndCoke,
So sorry to hear she has lost all her contacts like that. Sounds like you are saying the device completed a factory reset on it's own. Is that right? I'm afraid unless the contacts and media were backed up somewhere prior to this happening they would be gone. Let's prevent that from occurring in the future and protect your contacts and media! You can set up backup Assistant Plus Contacts to back up your contacts: http://vz.to/1s5IAzj . Use our cloud service to back up your media: http://vz.to/1s5IDv5 .

Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.

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!

Xperia automatically reset itself?

Hi, I am very very mad that this happened to me twice. First one was my sony xperia TL automatically reset itself and deleted all memories, including SD card. I insisted to give Sony another try with xperia Z3 and thought that this could have been fixed since the other phone was too old. Bu it was unbelievable that this could happen again. Now I lost everything in the phone. Does anyone here had the same problem? I swear I will never and never use sony phone again. Anyone here know what happened? Thanks.

I've seen this before, perhaps someone has access to your Gmail password/account and have used MyXperia or Android Device Manager to factory reset your phone.

Why does my ipod automatically reset itself when im listening to it?!

I will be clicking through songs and all of a sudden it just resets itself...and also if im fast forwarding through a song it also just resets it self.....everything it up to date so what is the problem
5th gen video Windows XP

You could reset iPod when scrolling trough songs very quickly, you might have pressed -MENY- by mistake while scrolling. Do not give Your iPod too much commands in same time, i'd bug myself if somebody push me round too much. It's a good machine but do not over do it.
Hope this helped

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?

New IPad resets itself in mid-call using FaceTime???

Using my New IPad, 16gb, wi-fi only this morning, doing FaceTime, in the middle of the call, the screen went blank, and the iPad appeared to completely reset itself; that is, the screen went completely blank and after a few seconds, the apple logo came on the screen, and then it proceeded to reboot to the lock screen. I tried reconnecting and this same thing happened multiple times. Sometimes within a minute of connecting the call, sometimes 5 minutes after connecting, it we in predictable. Any ideas what to do?

Apologies, Diesel, I should have put in more details:
- when a new contact is created, only the facetime icon appears to the right - no phone or texting icon
- this just started happening, all previous contacts had tel, texting and sometimes facetime icon
- the app doesn't automatically format the phone number correctly when "done" is tapped (i.e. add brackets and hyphen if not typed in manually)
- the keyboard has actually lost it's round brackets!
This is my father's iPhone - I'm helping him out, and know more details may be needed.
thanks

My iBook is reseting itself

I started up my iBook G4 one morning and my documents and programs were still there, but none of my settings were there and my programs had been reseted, I lost all my iPhoto pictures, iTunes stuff, aim settings, etc. Then even hour or so, safari resets itself again, and I lose my bookmarks and everything. What do I do?

Your short name is the same name as the folder with the house icon by default. If you're unsure which of the other home folders was originally yours, look for folders which have the standard folder icon but don't have a red circle in the lower right. If you find one named Shared, it's not your original home folder, but is intended for files which need to be available to all user accounts. Look in any other folder matching the criteria for your user data.

IPod Randomly Reset Itself, Now Apps Are Not Working!(4th gen)

So, I was just browsing websites in Safari when this happened. I'm pretty sure I got linked to Tumblr and then my iPod decided to reset itself. After that, many apps refused to work, including Safari. Puffin Web Browser still worked, but it said that I was located in the United Arab Emirates, when I'm in the United States. Many YouTube videos refuse to work now also. I honestly have no idea what happened, and any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks!

Iphone 4S Resetting itself?

Two nights ago my iphone reset itself. I didn't lose anything, but it reset everything back to factory settings. My volume was reset, siri, as well as getting popups on how to use certain things on an iphone. It was like pulling it out of the box. Is there a virius or should I reset it back to factory settings then re-add everything? This is the first it's ever happened.

Hello Duckweed,
The resource below will explain what to do if your iPhone keeps restarting. Was your iPhone set to automatically sync with iCloud? If so, you may have a fairly recent backup to fall back on if a restore is needed.
If your iOS device restarts, displays the Apple logo, or powers off while you're using it - Apple Support

Modem Randomly Resets Itself

Recently, I bought a Cisco DPC 3008 modem and an Engenius ESR350H router. The internet worked fine for a while, but then weird things started happening. The modem continuously reset itself for no apparent reason. We called a technician from the ISP and he reccomended that we upgrade our internet, since he believed it was resetting because we were exceeding our bandwith. Which was quite believable at the time since we only had 2mbps.
However, even after we upgraded to 15mbps the problem persists. I've checked the bandwith and we never come close to exceeding 15 mbps. Yet the modem continously resets itself. In particular when I try to fix it automatically through Windows when the internet goes down it says that "The broadband modem is having connectivity issues." and reccomends that I reset the modem. Even when there is minimal strain on the network the modem resets itself randomly, any suggestions for solutions to my problem?
Thanks!

Macbook resetting itself when the battery dies.

Hi all I am really hoping someone can shed some light on what’s happening to my Looney MacBook.
About two days ago I forgot to put it on charge when the battery was on 3% and it shut down, so I turned it back on when I had connected it to the power like normal and expected all to be okay. The computer had completely reset itself, time, date, Internet passwords, background everything. I put everything back to how it should and tried to connect to Facebook. The webpage was just the raw webpage, without its style sheet (is the only way I can describe it). So I was like okay that’s weird, and normally after a few refreshes it goes back to normal but it didn’t. It wasn’t because the Internet connection was slow either.
The next day it was still the same, deleted the cache reset everything on safari and restarted which seemed to fix it. I have just let the battery run down again (bad I know) and it did it all over again.
So I am turning to here to figure out what is going on! I hope it can be fixed, as I love my mac too much!
Appreciate any help!
Thanks

The next day it was still the same, deleted the cache reset everything on safari and restarted which seemed to fix it. I have just let the battery run down again (bad I know) and it did it all over again.
If you love your Mac, stop running its battery down the the point that it shuts off.
