Soft reset when syncing

I have just gotten a new TX (upgrading from a T3) and like it very much. But I notice when I hotsync, the TX does an automatic soft reset and goes back to the Palm Screen. Is this normal or is there something causing this that I can fix? (I am a relative Newbie and non-techie so please take that into account when answering.
Thanks in advance.

There are two main things that could cause the issue.
1. You backup conduit is set to handheld overwrites desktop. To check right click on your hotsync icon and select custom then go down to backup and see what it is set for
2. If you didn't follow the proper upgrade procedure as outlined at http://kb.palm.com solution id 40720 then you could have incompatible software settings or preferences coming over to your new handheld.

Palm TX does a soft reset when I tap on memos

I am new to posting on this forum. My Palm TX does a soft reset when I tap on memos or push the button I have set to memos. I also have had several soft resets occur after tuning the my palm on from the On/Off button. I have had Palms for the last 10 years. Never had this problem. The only problem I had was the On/Off button on The TX failed as a result this is my 3rd TX in the last 4 years. Any suggestions welcome. I was behind on syncing and my last sync was done about 1 week before this problem occurred. I really do not want to do a hard reset. This problem has been going on for a month. Can I just do an unistall/reinstall without loosing any info?

This question has been asked and answered many times here... Somehow, the memos database has become corrupt on the device. There are two ways to fix this:
1. First, open Palm Desktop and go up to Tools/Options/Tools Tab and click the Check Records button. Let it look for corrupt records, and if none are found then a simple fix is to set your HotSync Manager setting for the Memos app to "Desktop overwrites Handheld" for one operation.
If using Palm Desktop 4.x, change the conduit here: Click on your HotSync Manager icon in the tool tray, and select "Custom". Make sure your HotSync Account name is showing in the top window, then highlight the Memos app and click the "Change" button. Click the selection for "Desktop Overwrites Handheld" and click "Done". (DO NOT select the "Set as Default" box!) Now do a HotSync. Since you didn't select "Set As Default" it will only do the overwrite for one operation, then default back to "Synchronize".
If using Palm Desktop 6.2.x, change the conduit here: Click on the HotSync Manager icon in the tool tray, and select "Settings". Make sure your HotSync Account name is showing in the top center window, then click the "Applications" link in the left column. Check the box for "Show Details", Highlight the application you wish to change, then click the "Configure" button. Click the bullet for "Desktop Overwrites Handheld" and DO NOT select the "Set as Default" box. Now do a HotSync. Since you didn't select "Set As Default" it will only do the overwrite for one operation, then default back to "Synchronize".
Check to see if the HotSync completes without errors, and your Memos application is back to normal.
2. If the above does not fix the problem, then download and install "DBFixit" from Pimlico Software: http://www.pimlicosoftware.com/dbfixit.htm The program will search your device for errors, and fix some for free. Others may require the purchase of a registration code, with the funds going to an animal rescue non-profit (Gorilla Haven).

IPhone soft-resets when receiving/making a call to corrupt(?) contact

Hello,
Once I had a created a contact that (I think) had called me while I was making the entry. Ever since, the interaction with that contact became weird. Half of the times, his name was displayed when he was calling, while the rest of the times not.
Now I've installed a few apps and I think that, even though I have deleted that contact, there is still a bad/corrupt copy of it somewhere in the memory. I'm saying that because:
- if I dial his number using the keypad, as soon as I'm done dialing, the keypad disappears and I'm back to Home menu.
- whenever I get a call from him, my phone doesn't ring, it does something like a quick soft-reset and I cannot pick it up; it is always displayed as a missed call
- whenever I try to call him, I have no in-call menu, e.g. no Speaker option or even Hang Up option(!), so I can't actually hang up on him! I must turn the phone off if I want to! All I see is the "Tap to return to call" button, which, btw, it doesn't really work, either!
I have tried to delete all contacts - it did no difference. This is why I suspect that there is still a corrupt contact card somewhere.
After I made a full reset, wiping out all data and stuff, the problem disappeared. Unfortunately, I had to make at least a partial restore of my settings, map locations, SMS texts etc. Even though I didn't restore any of my contacts/calendar/notes etc, the problem returned.
Any ideas? I'm running out of options here... I'm actually unable to communicate with a certain person, whether I've filed him as a contact or not!

Is there a way to do a soft reset when the power button does not work?

After needing to enact my replacement repair warranty, I received a device (smae one and same serial) but the screen had unresponsive spoots, and dim spots, I decided to turn right around and send it back again. I got a replaced screen again, but this time my power button doesn't work. Now, this isn't too inconvenient for me except that I cant do a soft reset or power off/on in order to clear the cobwebs from time to time. Does anyone know of an app, or another way to do this? I'm simply afraaid of what iddues it may come back with if I send it in a 4th time.
So, App?
Or, maybe a special keybaord combo I can put in like on phones? (IE ##XXXXX#

To remove the Restrictions passcode, you need to restore the phone as a new device using iTunes. Hit the "Restore" button on the Summary Pane.

Podcast play count reset when syncing multiple devices

I have noticed some odd behavior since upgrading iTunes to version 10. My wife and I each have an iPhone, iPad, and an iPod nano. I have several playlists that I sync to each of my devices. The problem comes when I play some podcasts on one device, and other podcasts on another device. I sync one device, the play count updates. I sync one of the other devices, and the play count updates on some songs, but is deleted on others. I can tell which tracks have been reset because they still have a Last Played Date. It appears that the device with the most advanced time overwrites the play count in the library.
Anyone have any ideas on how to fix this behavior?
Doc

After much faffing, I have finally found out what to do. I've been stupid. Or maybe the whole sync thing isn't clear or intuitive, but probably I've been stupid.
I'm posting this because I couldn't find a definitive answer anywhere and because lots of people had similar questions to me.
The following settings work as I would expect them to. That is:
1. I have all my iTunes content on my iPod touch (not just some tracks, but all 8186 of them)
2. When I rate a track on the iPod, I expect that rating to copy into iTunes when I sync
3. I don't expect all 8186 songs to be wiped from my iPod and replaced again every time I sync; i.e. I only want any new ratings/artwork/tracks in iTunes to be duplicated on my iPod
So, here are my settings which work for me, at least:
1. In *iTunes Preferences*, on the Devices tab, *Prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically* is unchecked
2. When the iPod is connected to my Mac, when clicking the iPod in the sidebar;
a) on the Summary tab, *Open iTunes when this iPod is attached* is unchecked
(I'm not sure if this makes a difference, but I usually already have iTunes open when connecting the iPod)
b) on the Music tab, *Sync Music:* and *Entire music library* are checked
3. I then click Sync at the bottom of that tab and, lo and behold, everything syncs properly.
Prior to this, I did have to go through that tedious process of having everything removed from the iPod and replaced, but it seems that that was a one-off chore and now things seem OK.
If you're syncing Apps, Calendar, Contacts, etc. too, then those settings can be checked in the Applications and Info tabs and that seems to function properly as well.
This may seem basic and obvious to some, but there does appear to be a lot of confused folks out there!

Iphone 3G 8GB resets when syncing, unable to restore/backup

ive recently updated to OS 3.1.3 and ever since am unable to sync my phone to my pc, im on windows 7 havent had a problem until i updated iphon software. does anyone have any suggestions?! am unable to use my phone and getting pretty desperate !
thanks

I don't have an iphone, but if it's anything like my click-wheel ipod, a reset doesn't delete anything.
It just resets the ipod's operating system, kind of like a PC restart. Did you try this Sleep/Wake button thing mentioned here?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1737
Maybe it's a podcast of voice memo causing the problem like it did for this person
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=10907809#10907809
That's all I got. You might have better luck on an iPhone forum. Everyone there would probably have one. Like I said, I don't.

New to EEM, i wanna soft reset BGP when a prefix list is applied

Hello,
This is my script:
event manager applet SOFTRESETBGP_IN
event cli pattern "neighbor 10.0.0.2 prefix-list.* in" sync no skip no period 1
action 1.0 cli command "do clear ip bgp 10.0.0.2 soft in"
action 2.0 syslog msg "BGP PEERS SOFT RESETED IN"
event manager applet SOFTRESETBGP_OUT
event cli pattern "neighbor 10.0.0.2 prefix-list.* out" sync no skip no period 1
action 1.0 cli command "do clear ip bgp 10.0.0.2 soft out"
action 2.0 syslog msg "BGP PEERS SOFT RESETED OUT"
When I issue the "neighbor 10.0.0.2 prefix-list A in" command it displays the pre-defined syslog msg, but the peer is not reseted.
Test:
R1(config-router)#do sh ip bgp
BGP table version is 7, local router ID is 10.0.0.1
Status codes: s suppressed, d damped, h history, * valid, > best, i - internal,

R1(config-router)#neighbor 10.0.0.2 prefix-list A in

R1(config-router)#
When I do manually clear the peer, the policy applies:
R1(config)#do clear ip bgp 10.0.0.2 soft in
R1(config)#do sh ip bgp
BGP table version is 8, local router ID is 10.0.0.1

RPKI validation codes: V valid, I invalid, N Not found
Network Next Hop Metric LocPrf Weight Path
*>i 2.2.2.2/32 10.0.0.2 0 100 0 i
I have also tried to clear both direction without ".*"
event manager applet SOFTRESETBGP
event cli pattern "neighbor 10.0.0.2 prefix-list" sync no skip no period 1
action 1.0 cli command "do clear ip bgp 10.0.0.2 soft"
action 2.0 syslog msg "BGP PEERS SOFT RESETED"
result is the same...

skip no means: execute the command (you can skip it)
sync no means: you have to execute the CLI command, then the EEM script runs
example to skip:
R1#sh running | b event
event manager applet OSPF
event cli pattern "clear ip ospf process" sync no skip yes period 1
end
R1#clear ip ospf process
R1#
without "skip"
R1#sh running | b event
R1#clear ip ospf process
Reset ALL OSPF processes? [no]: y
R1#

The screen is black . i can.t get it to respond.Power + home soft reset didnt work. Itunes could detect any sync apps. I used my home phone to call my iphone and on my home phone i can hear the calling tone.But my iphone didn't ring/screen did not light up. Its a iphone 4. Any ideas how to fix this?

If the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, you'll need to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation

When syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen. have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing.

when syncing with itunes, got error message saying had error and now ipad2 will not do anything other than showing the USB cable with arrow pointing to Itunes on screen. have done the reset and restart, but still get same thing. Ipad does not show up in itunes even though cable plugged in. Have shut down and restarted Windows 7 computer.

I had done all of that to no avail. I did call Apple Tech Support and after he suggested I try a USB port in the rear of the Win 7 computer, things starting working again. I had tried switching the USB port at the front of the machine but that had not helped. Everything is good to go again. thanks for your reply

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

My iphone 4 stopped recognizing when it is plugged in to charge. I have to let it completely die and do a soft reset for it to charge and start back up. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

My iPhone 4 stopped recognizing when it is plugged in to charge. It has to completely die and a soft reset has to be done to it before it will charge and start back up running. A tech at a store said it was just a short in the phone and nothing could be done to fix it, but I'm sure there has to be other options. Any suggestions?

To rule out a software issue or damaged data inside the backup, set it up as new device without using the latest backup afterwards.
If the phone is back to normal after that, restore from the backup again.
