What exactly iPhone 2 Button Reset DO ?

Well,
Question is obvious in the topic. I really wonder what exactly restarting the phone using 2 buttons (home + power) ? What's the difference between using power button + slide to reset ?

Slide to turn off is like putting a laptop into hibernation.
What is in memory gets saved out so when you turn it back on it reloads where it was.
IF there was a memory leak in some program causing issues, then that would be loaded right back if you just powered off then on.
This is not correct.
It's not hibernation; neither process state nor memory state is saved. When you "slide to turn off" it flushes the cashes, closes open files and performs other shutdown tasks then completely powers off. RAM is cleared, and when you restart no programs are restored/reloaded. You can verify this by running any process monitoring app after you power back on - everything is restarted.
It's like hitting "shutdown" on your computer.
The difference is that the reset (hold sleep and home for 10 secs) does not run shutdown routines, close buffers, flush the caches, etc. or call shutdown. It just powers off the device spontaneously. It's like pulling the power plug on your computer while it's running. It's not a good idea to do this regularly.
It's best to "slide to power off" to power off/restart your phone, or when you encounter sluggish behavior, etc. Only hold both buttons to reset it if it's hung up badly enough that you cannot "slide to power off". This can happen if the OS in memory is corrupted badly enough.

Hey there, was just wondering what exactly happens when you reset iPhone network settings

Looking to reset my network settings was wondering how this might effect my iPhone.

As already provided:
This will clear your current cellular and Wi-Fi network settings, including saved networks, Wi-Fi passwords, and VPN settings.
And, that's all that happens.

What, *exactly*, does a factory reset do?

My Thinkpad T430, less than a year old, is having issues - corrupted .dll files, Windows Update not working, all sorts of fun stuff. I am waiting on someone to e-mail me clean copies of the .dlls I need BUT am concerned that that won't fix everything, especially the problems with Windows Update. I've exhausted pretty much every other option I can find to try to repair this at this point. The nuclear option is a reset to Lenovo factory settings from the Windows repair environment accessed by pressing F8 during boot, but before I do that I want to understand *exactly* what I would be doing to my computer.
Specifically: will a factory reset return all Windows system files to their original state, meaning there is no chance that the issues I'm having will persist? Will it guarantee that Windows Update will work again and that all of my .dll and other system files will be in a fresh, non-corrupted state? Does the process replace current system files with original versions that were installed on the computer?
I just don't want to restore to factory settings and find that Windows Update still won't work and now I have to install over a year's worth of updates manually from the Microsoft website, one by one, or go through the trouble of having to reinstall all of my programs, get my files back on the computer, fix settings to be as I want them again, etc. only to not have these issues fixed.
Thanks for any help/input.
Solved!

OK,
IMHO the simplest way to perform the factory recovery is to prepare factory recovery media (cd+ 3dvd, or usb flash drive, 16 gb in size) using Factory Recovery Disks applet within Control Panel.
After that recovery process all information on laptop will be deleted (OS, applications, user data) and the state of the OS and applications will be as from the factory. So before that process perform your data backup. Of course after laptop recovery you should to upgrade the OS, drivers, applications from Lenovo, install your applications again.
Or you can repair and replace files (.dll as you mentioned) yourself from the recovery environment by pressing ThinkVantage button while laptop boots up. But it's useful way if you have full system backup.
I''d advice to make full system backup after factory recovery, with upgraded drivers, applications.

I send my iPhone to apple because my standby button doesn´t fit, what exactly should i send to apple? earphones and charging cable too?

No! All Apple needs is your actual phone. Do not send the box or anything else as they will throw it away and you won't get anything back except for a phone! Do not send the sim card either and make sure you backed it up!

What all happens if I reset everything (Content and Settings) on my iPhone 4?

The day before yesterday I have discovered a problem where I have an app stuck on 'waiting...' And the app refuses to either download or delete. I've tried everything, syncing my phone to the computer, trying to redownload it on the App Store, but nothing seems to be working. I'm now assuming the only way to get rid of the app is to reset all content and settings off of my phone, which would be the last resort for me and is something I'd rather not do. But if I do reset everything on my iPhone 4, I would like to know all 'side effects' of this action and if it affects any data concerning credit card information or if my number or data plan will need to be added again. It would be very nice to find a way to avoid resetting my phone and delete the 'waiting..' App, if anyone could give me any information about that problem. If not, it would still be great if I could know what will happen to my phone if I reset it. Thank you so much, any and all information would be greatly appreciated !!

What you are describing as "reset" is actually called a Restore.
FIrst try doing a Reset by holding the power and Home buttons down for 5-10 seconds until you see Apple logo on the screen. This does not erase any of your data or setting, but often helps with problems like yours.
Restore Is a more involved process, but you'll still be OK if you follow instructions.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs
iPhone Service Support and Costs
iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

My ipod nano 4th generation only works when it is plugged into the computer; otherwise, the screen turns black and it is completely unresponsive to any efforts such as pushing buttons, reseting, etc. What should I do?

Sounds like the battery is shot and in need of a replacement. You can have Apple replace the battery for a flat fee or you can send it into a third party repair center for a bit less.
Not much else you can do for troubleshooting this one.

What model iPod do you have? If yo have a 2G iPod. many developers when they updated their apps to support iOS 5 and 6 dropped compatibility for iOS 4.2.1 and earlier.

What exactly do I do with my old iPhone to keep it as an iPod?

I got my 3g phone yesterday, replacing my original iPhone. I also got a new phone number as I just recently moved out of state. Both phones have a sim card in them. No problems at all so far with the new one. It synced from my old phone just fine.
My question is what exactly to do with the old one? Since it was deactivated it still works fine minus the phone, but I've not tried to sync it. I did not update to 2.0.1 prior to deactivating it. I understand I won't be able to do updated or a restore in the future. But do I leave the old sim card in it or take it out before I sync it? I'm not sure if that will make a difference or not. Any tips or help appreciated.

You don't need to do anything to the old phone to use it as a Touch. You can continue to sync with the old SIM still in the phone but to do any updates you would need to reactivate the phone.

My iPhone 4s was stolen this weekend and I did the Remote Lock. What exactly does that do? Also, if i do the Remote Wipe will that erase all of my data and impede anyone from ever using the phone?

The remote lock locks the iphone with a passcode that you set. By remote wiping the device it will simply restore it and clear it of all its data, but by doing this it will prevent you tracking it and communicating with it (e.g. remote locking it) in the future

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please!

I am confused about Icloud. I have a 5 year old Macbook, a 2 year old macbook and a 5 year old mac mini. What exactly do I need to do to get all this connected via Icloud. I also have an Iphone 3G. Help please! Also, I still don't understand exactly what the benefits are. At the moment it seems a lot of hassle to change a system that's been working perfectly well and that I'm very happy with. I'm not at all sure whether the mac mini (1.66 GHz INtel Core Duo) can be brought up to the relevant spec to run ICloud. Any thoughts?

There are two aspects to iCloud. One is simply getting an account, or migrating a mobileme account to iCloud. The second part is using the various features of iCloud to sync contacts, calendars, use music match or photo sharing, and store iWorks documents.
First to get an iCloud account:
If you have a mobileme account, you can migrate by simply logging onto www.icloud.com (ignore any references to Lion and just click through to complete the migration). If you have OS X Lion or an iOS 5 mobile device, you can create an iCloud account on that device using any valid AppleID.
Once you have an account, you can use JUST the mail account if you wishi - it is a standard IMAP account so you would set it up like any other IMAP email account you have, in whatever client program you use to read email.
To use the OTHER feautes of iCloud, your computers will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7). Your iPhone 3G will never be able to use iCloud as it cannot run iOS 5 (you need a min. of an iPhone 3GS to run iOS 5).
The requirements for OS X Lion are here - http://www.apple.com/macosx/specs.html You need a min. of a Core 2 duo processor so you mini is not capable of running Lion.
So, in your case, the single reasons for iCloud would be if you have a mobileme account, then use the online www.icloud.com to migrate your account so you do not lose your @me.com email address. You can use iCloud email (without using any other iCloud features) by setting it up as IMAP mail with these settings - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864
If you want an iCloud account and do NOT already have a mobileme account, you will need to upgrade one machine at least to Lion in order to be able to create an iCloud account.
