Sesseion time shorter after reset?
Recently had to reset iPad and since then, while reading kindle novels, session time has been shortened considerably. Sometimes screen dims after a minute or so, sometimes just shut down immediately. I don't see anything in Settings that lets you specify how long to go before ipd shuts down a session. Any ideas?
Thanks,

Time Machine does not see original backup file on Time Capsuel after reset.
I recently moved. I have a Time Capsule which is also my airport base station. I have about 7 months worth of back-ups on the drive for an iMac and a MacBook. The local cable company would only hook up the modem directly to my iMac and would not set up through the Time Capsule as it is not one of their routers. No problem. I did it once -- I could do it again. After discovering that it was not as simple as plugging the ethernet cable into the Time Capsule (after doing so, the Time Capsule recognized it had internet feed -- the iMac recognized the Time Capsule/Airport network -- but I could not get onto the net.) I discovered that I needed to do a hard reset. The instructions said the files would not be erased. They were not. I can still see the original back-ups for both computers in finder. But Time Machine does not recognize that either computer was ever backed up. There is no history and when I try a back-up it begins from scratch and creates a brand new back-up file.
How do I get Time Machine to recognize the original back-up files? I tried "choosing disk" in Time Machine preferences but it only lets me choose the actual disk (the Time Capsule) and not an individual back-up file
Thanks in advance to the collective brain trust.
RobertI saw a post on another discussion about this subject, and one user found this workaround:
2) Start the backup via wireless connection. Stop the backup. Unplug external HD and plug in via USB or FW (you want FW800). Time Machine appears smart enough to continue your backup in a manner that is useable by the AEBS.
This only makes sense for the first backup (or if you have a lot of data for one particular incremental backup), as it removes the whole convenience factor of wireless.
The post got this reply:
Thx for your #2 tip on using Time Machine with an Airport Extreme Base Station, then switching to a wired connection. Worked perfectly.
Started the TimeMachine b/up wirelessly, allowed it to run for a couple minutes, then stopped it, unplugged the USB drive from the AEBS, plugged it into the computer directly via FW400, opened TimeMachine and it recognized the Disk. Ran TimeMachine via the wired connection, after it finished I ejected it, plugged it back into the AEBS, initiated the AirDisk in the finder, then opened TimeMachine and presto!!
Awesome tip. Note: this works for first-time TimeMachine wireless backups only. Saved me over 40 hours of wireless waiting!!

After downloading iOS 8.1.3, I lost the use of messaging, face time and shortly there after my e-mail. I changed and reset everything I could on my I-Pad... same result. It can't be my router or my provider, for my I-Pod touch works fine. Any suggestions? Thanks, Val
Hello there berczy,
As I understand it, you are not able to use iMessage, FaceTime or any email service on your phone. Saying you've tried everything would generally make me recommend that you restore the phone from a backup but that can take a long time, so without knowing exactly what steps you have taken, I would like for you to review the troubleshooting in the following article for FaceTime and iMessage:
If you get an error when trying to activate iMessage or FaceTime
And to troubleshoot the Mail app, use this article:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Hi berczy,
Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing multiple issues with your iPad after updating. It sounds like you are on the right track, as all three of these tasks require an internet connection. To help isolate the issue further, are you able to open webpages in Safari? If not, we’ll need to troubleshoot the iPad’s network connection:

Lost Access to Files on Time Capsule After Reset
Hello,
We had some very nasty weather yesterday, and I sent my son to reset the modem and Time Capsule. For whatever reason, instead of simply unplugging the thing, he hit the small reset button on the back of it.
We have several folders of IMMENSELY important files on the Time Capsule we need to recover access to. It did not format, and we can see the dis space used, but no longer have access the files.
Of note is the fact that these files are not backed up as a Time Machine backup, but were drag and drop copied onto the Time Capsule hard drive through Finder and accessing the drive there. They were moved to the "Time Machine" folder, but were moved manually, not through a backup program. These are now lost somewhere on the TC Hard drive, and we cannot find them.
Before I go spend a couple of hundred dollars on data recovery services, I am hoping someone here can help me recover access to those files?
Much Appreciated.A reset of the TC has no effect whatsoever on files.. but it could upset the name of the TC..
Unplug the TC from the network and plug it directly by ethernet to the computer you are using.. hopefully one NOT running Mavericks.
Do a full factory reset of the TC.. when you do this the TC will appear as new wireless device and you can do the setup.. do minimal setup.. but do not connect back to the network.
Open finder and manually mount the TC disk using Go, Connect to server, and type in the following.
AFP://10.0.1.1
Put in the password which is public.
Then see if your files are available.. if not..
As a first step I would try and see what you can access from a PC running windows.. if you have that available.
Otherwise you have no choice but to remove the TC hard disk and put it in a USB holder. Plug it directly into the computer and if the files are not available use a tool like disk warrior or data rescue 3 to see if you can recover files.
It is extremely foolish to use the TC as a file store when you have no backup. -
Problem with time capsule after reset
I've a time capsule. I had to reset it for networking problem. I had to make a reset unplugging TC then plugging back switching the rear reset button.
Well, my time capsule switches on, but when i configured it, the capsule (when is reswitching on) doesn't be recognised from my system.
What can i do? Thanks a lot!When I factory reset the time capsule, will that erase all the data kept on the capsule,
By "data" if you mean your previous backups, the answer would be no.
All of your current network configuration settings will be reset back to factory defaults. -

Hello Oddsbodkin,

my ipod touch 4th gen isnt work after a long time with 0 percent battery power.Then its not working. computer doesnt respond to my ipod .only black screen is appearing it even not wake up after reset it what can i do please help me
After being connected to a charging source overnight try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Every time I try to use apple ID for face time I got an error message "the username or password was incorrect" although they are right and I use them in App Store and I cloud even after resetting my password, the problem happens also with iMessage . Please help
For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,

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). -

That's precisely what they're supposed to do. -
What printers besides Hp will work continuously with an i-pad? I tried Canon and Epson and both time-out after a short period of time rerquiring the user to re-initialize, which defeats the purpose of wireless printing. Please help, Apple can not. Thanks to all. Art
Canon support told me that the I-pad printer driver would not work with any printer, including HP. They offered to fix the problem for $50. I turned them down.
If they really could fix the problem, they must be saying to update the printers firmware. Look on the cannon website & update the priners firmware. While you at it, update the routers firmware.
What printer do you have?

The Time Capsule is not providing a wireless connection.
When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if I cancel the Airport Utility app and restart it. I performed the factory reset again, restarted the Airport Utility and received the same error. What are the steps to debug and fix the wireless problem?
My Time Capsule is connected to my FIOS router and to my Mac Mini. I am still able to connect to the Internet from the Mini via ethernet. It seems that the Time Capsule acts as a bridge for the ethernet connections between Internet to FIOS, FIOS to Time Capsule, and Time Capsule to Mac Mini.Which model TC is this? The A1xxx number from the base please.
Try the setup in full isolation from the network.. so unplug the TC from the network.. and turn off wireless in the mini.. so you have mini--ethernet--lan port TC.. and nothing else.
Do the factory reset.
Now check if TC comes up in airport utility..
If it fails, turn on ipv6 local link.. if you are using 6.3 utility this could be necessary.
Still fails, try loading the v5 utility.. you will need to plug the computer back into the FIOS to get internet. Then depending on OS.. Lion according to your profile.. you can just down the utility.. ML takes more steps.
See below.
Do you have an iphone or ipad.. download the airport utility app and use those for the setup.. that can sometimes work better.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.
