What will I lose if I reset my network settings? Was advised to try this to improve performance. Will it make significant changes that I cant recover?

Resetting network settings clears out all your wi-if passwords as well as any other associations with wi-networks you've made. For example, if you connect to your coffee shop's open wi-fi network automatically you will need to manually rejoin it like you did the first time to re-establish that association. It will also erase any Bluetooth pairings you've setup.

Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi

What will I lose with a factory reset?

I used to love my S5 but lollipop has made me want to throw it thru a window. A fully charged battery does not last thru the night not being used (with all apps closed). The Android OS and Android System are using the battery with a few other things using single digit percentage. It is also slow to respond and frequently get pop-ups that contacts or other things have stopped responding. It overheats and shuts down when not in use.
I tried following the steps to clear the cache (Power, volume up, home) but it just keeps going from the screen with the white Samsung Galaxy S5 to the one with the Samsung rainbow logo then back to the white one. I tried volume down, power, home and get a screen about installing a custom OS.
So as a last resort what will I lose if I do a factory reset and has anybody had that actually help because I have seen posts that it didn't.

It may or may not help, but can't hurt to try. It will reset your phone back to a factory fresh (with Lollipop) activated state. All account information and apps you have installed will be gone. If you are logged and synced to google prior to the reset (check in settings under accounts selected google account and make sure everything has synced successfully). When you log back into your google account it will bring back most of your settings, apps and contacts etc. If you have installed any apps that store local data they will be as though they were fresh installed with all data cleared. You can also use Verizon cloud or Samsung to backup things such as contacts, messages, pictures, music.
Your SD card will remain untouched so if you have one and pictures and music are on there they will remain.
If you don't have an SD card make sure your pictures and music have been backed up somewhere as well.

TS1559 if i reset network settings will i lose everything on my phone , should i back up on my pc first ?

if i reset network settings to get back my wifi will i lose everything on my ph ? should i back up everything first on pc ?

No you won't lose anything, however you would need to re enter your password for known wifis.
You should already be backing up your phone on a regular basis.

Reset Network Settings does NOT affect any data on the device.
A reset of the device (holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears) does NOT affect any data on the device.

After connecting to Bluetooth keyboard, iPad 2 will not connect to Internet (wifi) at all. Wifi is ok, have tried turning off bltooth, wifi on iPad. It sees the network but won't connect. Help? Have also reset network settings etc

My iPad wifi was working great until I I connected it by Bluetooth to a keyboard (zagg). It was the first time I'd used Bluetooth
Immediately Internet was dropped on my ipad. My iPhone was and is still connected no prob. And I cannot get the iPad wifi to work again....at all!!!
This is major as I am away from my desktop for three months. Any fix cannot involve being at my desktop with iTunes which is 10,000 km away
So far This is what I've tried based on other discussions-
-turned Bluetooth off and unpaired to keyboard which was also turned off
- turned iPad wifi off and on (several times)
- forgot the network I useArrive Jul 19 depart Aug 25th. Originally it was Sept 9.
-- reset network settings
What happens is that the iPad sees the network and I enter my password. But, instead of getting "check mark" indicating a successful connections it keeps "circling". Sometimes the airport bars will show, but disappear or flicker. It never connects with a check noted in settings. Any attempts to use internet confirm there is no connection
My network is not a cafe or public network. It is one I regularly use here at my family's home where I am visiting
Any ideas!

I started getting a Timed Out error message on my iPhone 5 when trying to browse the internet tthat reads Page could not be loaded. Connection timed out. I performed a Reset Network Settings and am still getting the error message. What is the fix?

Thanks so much for more direction.
I realized that I bought this iPod T4 about a year ago, so decided to check the date and it is still under the 1 year ltd. warranty until 21 Dec. I contacted Apple via Chat and was informed that the problem may lie in the version of iTunes I was running 10.7. Today Apple released v. 11 of iTunes which I was instructed to download. It's TOTALLY different from iTunes 10.7 - drastically different in fact.
The Apple Chat Rep set up a phone call appointment forl 8:00 pm ET tonight where another Rep will call me to make sure the restore was accomplished OK. With v. 11 of iTunes I can't even find the restore option!!! The phone Rep will have to help me navigate v. 11 of iTunes. It doesn't seem intuitive at all. Maybe it's just me?!?!
Thank you for sending this new link for firmware. It's not clear to me right now whether I'll need it or not. The phone Rep will probably somehow be able to resolve the problem. If not, they'll probably send me to the nearest Apple store if the problem is hardware, as it would be covered under the warranty. I will give another update as to what transpires as a result of the phone call with the Apple Rep.
Again, thank you so much for helping me.

Will you please help me? ipad will not reset "network settings" or forget network!

My ipad will not connect to WiFi although my laptop does. When I try to reset network settings the old settings reappear. It will not "forget this network". What do i need to do next?

I don't fully understand what the System Reset does but I've found that it cures many ills. It's easy, quick and harmless:
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.
A System Reset does not remove any apps, music, movies, etc. nor does it cause any settings to revert back to default.
Also, you might wish to download the iPad-2 User Guide. Pay special attention to page 162. Note that this Guide also applies to the iPad-1 with IOS 4.3 except for those functions that are not supported by the hardware.

Finally, the User Guide can be downloaded at no charge via iBooks and a less comprehensive version of the Guide is included as a Safari bookmark.

What will I lose if I delete lightroom 4?

I've had it...I want to SAFELY go back to LR 3.6...and I'm scared. I don't want to lose anything, but I'm willing to lose all edits since I installed LR4, which for me has been a nightmare, with no help from Adobe. Can I just "uninstall" and try reinstalling, as normal...what will I lose? I am so gun shy - I tried just switching back to LR3.6 having not deleted it and it is broken too, and a handful of previews load, then others try to load, taking far far too long. If previews do load, they disappear when I scroll up or down (if it lets me). I've tried all the suggestions on this forum that I understand and are somewhat basic. I've checked my CPU usage, and system, which should be more than adequate and find nothing wrong here to indicate that it wasn't LR4 causing this, especially after reading other's posts.
Adobes lack of customer service is astounding. Their design of sending us looping through the help system only to advertise their products and "services" is worse than no help in my opinion. Frustration from near non stop 3 days of trying to get this fixed. I did receive a couple of replies to questions I posted on the forum, so I appreciate that. Unfortunately, I'm where I was before. Am I missing something? Is there help that I don't know about?

You will lose PV 2012 edit capability, the amazing editing of RAW and jpeg files, the way that upping the shadow detail does not introduce 1/10th as much noise as fill did. You will lose the ability to lift the whites and drop the blacks, the ability to add the incredible clarity and compromise its crushing blacks by reducing the black levels.
You will lose the ability to Geotag your photos using data from GPS trackers or iphones or similar machines that generate the necessary GPX (?) files.
You will lose the ability to make books with a company called BLURB.
You will also miss the headaches and the issues, the slowness and the frustrations.
Why not use LR4 for all your new images? rather than importing all your old images from LR3.X catalogs?
There is a great deal of info on ways to reduce the lags, the issues, the slowness. YES some are workarounds, some are / rather should be unncessary, but they DO work.
I have catalogs on USB 2 drives. They work, but I'm mostly adding new images to these and I can cope with some slowness, fortunately I'm either very lucky with my laptop having very few issues.
I restart LR4 on my laptop every hour or so. So what it takes 30 seconds. I lose that every 2 edits, so its not a realistic issue. Its a FXKNG PITA that LR4 does not work properly, but fill in the bug reports on their get satisfaction forum.
This was posted 2-3 weeks ago on the bug forum http://feedback.photoshop.com/photoshop_family/topics/lr4_0_reacts_ext remely_slow but why it was not posted on here is totally beyond me. Whoever is doing LR4's marketing and social awareness is in need of a new job as a prison janitor as they are not communicating with their public.
I've been asking questions on Twitter and facebook, and posting comments - fair, but honest, and I'd recommend making noise on twitter / facebook / Google + as this is where comments will get noticed, they can't shut down threads or delete comments.
All that negativity and educated derisement will cause them more pain in the real world. This is where voices are heard and companies have to listen, or mud does stick.
Make comments on twitter using the hash tag #lightroom #LR4, you can also put these on Facebook messsages, google+ and Linkedin.
All these really make a very very strong impression on companies, they should listen to social networking and if they dont, they are so 20C.
LR 4 will get sorted, it seems to be 2 main issues - dual displays and over enthusiastic disk access - for some reason more prevalent on certain drives - whether SSD or not, I'm uncertain.
Til then, if you are going back, use your LR4 catalog for the stufff you've edited in LR4 - why not export all the most recent stuff as a new catalog and use that when you need to, and go back to the backup LR3.X catalog that was generated when you upgraded to LR4
least you can cope with the slowness of those images you worked on in LR4, but have your main catalog as LR3.x
Good luck and I hope this helped.
Everyone else, on twitter, follow #lightroom and see the noise there, and those with issues, post positive, fair but DAMMING comments so #adobe #takeNOTE and #listen to the #disenfranshised

TS1398 what happens when I reset network settings?

what happens when I reset network settings on I Phone 5?

Hi Jim Blau1!
The answer to your question can be found in this article that you have linked, about troubleshooting iOS Wi-Fi network connections:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1398
Specifically, I believe this statement will answer your question:
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including: previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords, recently used Bluetooth accessories, VPN and APN settings.
Thanks for being a part of the Apple Support Communities!

Call your phone carrier - that's a problem for them to resolve.

I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?

I'm worried about what will happen if I delete my recent backup data from the phone I still own? Will I lose any progress in games that was saved in the backup?
I have an iPhone 4S and I keep getting those irritating notifications that tell me I need to upgrade my storage or free up space. I've deleted all I can from my music and photos without losing too many precious memories, but it's come to the point where I think I need to delete backups. However, I'm just worried that I will lose all and any log-in information that I don't remember and app/game progress that was saved to the iCloud. Please Tell me what will happen/what I can do?

If you are asking what happens when you delete an iCloud backup, it only deletes the backup from your account. It won't do anything to the data on your phone or in your iCloud account. If you don't need to backup you can delete it. (If you no longer want to back up your phone to iCloud, turn iCloud backup off in Settings>iCloud>Backup. Then your phone will back up to your computer each time you sync it with iTunes.)
