By introducing another term, you only make it more confusing.
There's only 4Rs and it's very simple.:
Restart,
Reset,
Restore from backup,
Restore as new.

Once upon a time there were five. For the life of me, I can't remember what the fifth was. It might have been something like repair?

  • The screen on my iPhone 6 turns black when on a call

    The screen on my iPhone 6 turns black when I am on a call (and then I cannot end the call)

    My iPhone 5s did the same and my company sent me a new one.  That one had the same problem.  I am now being told by my company that it is an app that I have loaded that is not compatible with the IOS update.  They sent me an iPhone6 and advised me to only add my apps one at a time to see which one is causing the problem.  Verizon, I was told, has been working on the problem as well.  Don't know if all this is true but sounded right to me.

  • The screen on my iPhone 4 turned black while i was using it-it was not dropped or damaged in anyway. The phone itself is still working as it comes up in itunes when I plug the phone into my computer, but the screen is completley black. What can I do?

    The screen on my iPhone has gone black while I was using it. It just "shut off". The phone is still working  as I can hear/see it when it plugs into the computer, but the screen just wont turn on. I've tried the soft reset "holding down home and lock screen" and i've tried to restore settings. I went to the apple store and they said I had to send it to my provider (in another country) but my phone contract has run out.
    Is there a way to fix this?
    If not, is there some way apple can replace the phone? It's less than 2 years old. Surely the screen shouldn't just give out like that.
    Thank you

  • Is it possible to mirror the screen on my iPhone 5s via apple tv onto the screen of my macbook pro

    Is it possible to mirror what is playing on the screen of my iPhone 5s via Apple TV to the screen of my Macbook Pro?

    if it is running OS X Yosemite
    Step 1
    Connect your iPhone directly to your Mac using your Lightning to USB cable.
    Step 2
    Open QuickTime Player and choose File > New Movie Recording
    Step 3
    Select your iPhone as the Camera using the dropdown menu to the right of the record button
    Now your phone should be mirrored onto your Mac.
    You do not need to use the Apple TV

    the screen on my iphone is shattered can i replace the screen?

    Who can say?  How competent are you with electronic devices?  You might be better off taking it to an Apple Store and paying for an out of warranty replacement. At least you'll know you are not using generic components that have not been approved by Apple.

  • The screen on my iPhone 5 when black and is unresponsive.

    While updating an app on my iPhone 5 the screen froze and then went black. Now I have a black screen that is unresponsive. I can hear the phone ringing when someone calls but cannot answer it, and cannot do any type of search. What's wrong with my phone? Any idea?

    Hello Mayagüez,
    I would be concerned too if my iPhone screen was black.  I recommend following steps 2-6 below:
    If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
    If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on),reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.

  • TS1369 I fractured the screen on my iPhone 4, 2+ years old and the latest when bought so I bought a new phone but I can not get my previous purchases to download to itunes that were there 2 weeks ago. Changed apple id once and now it shows up when downloa

    I bought a brand new iPhone 4 as soon as it came out which was 2010 I think.  No problems until two weeks ago.  I fractured the screen on it so I am slowly losiong some functions like charge, touch screen ability and need to activate my new iPhone but I am having trouble with iTunes showing my full song library. I have 554 plus songs but some that will not update or download,. Two weeks ago is when this all began.  I used to have a different apple ID but changed it after a few months for security reasons.  Now when I try to observe my itunes library it only shows the most recent songs I have purchased,35.  Not all, and there are still songs that it states it can not download because my computer is not authorized, I authorize it and it says it is already authorized.  Then it gives me the old apple ID from years ago and I change it back to my new one, but this only causes it to do it over and over.  I called apple and they said all kinds of mean things that my son or husband had been using my ID or account, of which is impossible because all purchases have to be password protected and I get warnings if anyone attempts to access.  Also, their ID's are not my old one.  Their libraries have none of my music. I do not home share but I thought that iTunes says you can use the music for households if you homeshare so I do not know why the person was so abusive but I am frustrated. So, any ideas?  I was instructed to install icloud and did and it seems to me to be the culprit so I bought the stupid iCloud sharing manage,$25 yearly so that it automatically downloads your full library but no luck, still only shows the purchases I recently made with my gift card.  This was suggested by the apple care expert.  Can not update my phone until backed up, can not change phones until updated and backed up.

    I know it sounds weird, and that is the reason I posted my question.  Because my case is not like all the ones I've found online and it's confusing.  I added a screen capture of my itunes with my old iphone (the one that houses my playlists) connected to it.
    My playlists "ARE"  in my iphone 4s.  They are still there even though they do not show up when I plug in to itunes in my computer. 
    When connecting my phone to itunes on my macbook, the playlists do not appear anywhere in itunes.  I have found my connected iphone icon, I have clicked on the arrow next to it and it does pull up the standard lists that come with the iphone/itunes:  Music, Movies, TV shows, books.  That's it! below that is "Genius" and below "Geniuns" is "PLAYLISTS"  but the only playlist of mine that shows there is one that I created several years back titled "90's music" and that one I created it on my computer, not my phone.  Under "90's music" there are also other standard playlists that itunes automatically adds.
    Does anyone else have this issue or know how to get around this.  I am starting to think that I am going to have to recreate these lists on my computer

  • HT204053 My wife and I have iphones now. My apple ID went good. My wife tryed to use the same email address as her apple ID. The screen on her iphone said that she could but the option that she was supose to click on was not one of ther options. COTINUE w

    My wife and I got iphones. Igot my apple ID set up fine. Having trouble setting up my wifesw. We only have 1 email account. The instructions say to use youe email account as your apple ID. I have done that. My wife tryede to enter the same apple ID. The instuctions say you can. It says press use the same. Then press continue. The only problem is that continue is not an option that is on that screen? Please help me  with some good and easy fixes. THANKS

    The problem is that all services are bundled with your Apple ID ([email protected]):
    Your iCloud account (Mail, Contacts, Calendars, Reminders, Notes, Backups, etc.),
    also iTunes & App Store purchases (Music, Movies, TV Shows, etc.),
    and the iTunes Match services.
    (I guess that all your devices - yours and your wife's are connected to one iTunes library, right?)
    If you want that your wife gets her own iCloud account for Mail, Contacts, Calendars, etc. but gets also access to your media then you have two set up two things on her device:
    iCloud (Settings > iCloud) with her account (e.g. [email protected])
    and
    iTunes & App Stores (Settings > iTunes & App Stores) with your account (e.g. [email protected]).
    In this case she gets access to your library and could use the same iTunes Match account.

  • The screen of my iPhone won't turn on but the touch is still responsive

    I went to sleep with my iPhone 4s next to me. When I woke up my phone would not cut on. Siri still works and I can still unlock my phone but the screen won't cut on. The touch is still on though because I can put my pass code in and unlock my phone. I've already tried holing down the home button and power button AND charging it. Neither of them worked.

    Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...

  • My Windows 7 computer can't find the drivers for my iPhone 3GS. Can I download the driver and manually install it myself?

    My desktop computer (a PC running Windows 7 ultimate) is not able to find drivers for my iPhone 3GS when plugged in. My laptop does, so I'm wondering if I can download a driver for it and install it manually on my desktop? (Please provide link) Thank you.

    This sort of helped in that the iPhone was recognized briefly. As I was configuring things related to the iPhone itunes became unresponsive so I killd the process. Then when I restarted it, it went back to the original issue.
    Even when it did work, it was competing with another driver (mtp?) When it did work the mtp driver failed and the apple one succeeded. Now that it stopped working, the Apple driver is not mentioned and the mtp driver fails.
    I guess I'll have to delete and install itunes a few more times to figure this out. Thanks for your response.

  • Half the screen of my iPhone 4 goes black after flickering please help

    i have bought this iphone from calgary and now the apple indian store guy told me that it will be repaired or replaced there in canada only

  • The screen on my iPhone 4 went black and randomly started vibrating nonstip for about 3 minutes. It has stopped and now won't turn on. Has anyone else had this problem? What should I do?

    I've tried to charge it and i've tried to reset it but it won't even connect to iTunes. Please help!

    Don't know why it happened, but if you can't enter the passcode, you'll have to restore the phone to remove it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.  If you're running iOS 7 with Find My iPhone enabled, you'll have to force it into recover mode to restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
