I-Phone reset

dxb335d · 08-18-2009, 02:33 AM

Stuck the thing on charge and now it wont turn on..... Just a lit screen, which if you press the on button goes white but will not turn on...

Tried the past few hours

Any re-set mode i can try? (You know, like on a Nokia you could remove the battery and try starting again)

cheers

Plug it back into itunes and restore it. That should sort the problem

dxb335d · 08-18-2009, 02:42 AM

Will that work? have you done that before?

will i loose all my pics and contacts though?

Don't you switch it on holding the middle 'O' button down - press em both together for a few seconds and it should do a reset - no info lost

dxb335d · 08-18-2009, 02:54 AM

Paul, i turn it on with the on button at the top?
so try that one and the button with the square for the menu and stuff?

It seems to be on cuz message tone made a noise just a white screen though. Pretty pissed off only had it what two weeks.

Press both buttons until you see the Apple icon appear onscreen.

Do that, then if it doesn't work you will have to restore it, its straight forward and just follow the on screen instructions.

you should have a backup of your iphone in itunes, itunes does it every time you connect the phone to your computer.

dxb335d · 08-18-2009, 04:23 AM

It works now, thanks for the help everyone. Does not look promising though for the future, that its done this so early on eh..?

backs up everyothing?

yep, even your mobile porn site history

MOB · 08-18-2009, 10:00 AM

This is usually caused by excessive browsing of extreme porn sites

Just looking at tits and bums instead usually resolves the issue

Holding the on/off button and home button = soft reset. Fixes most minor gincs and software bugs

iTunes restore = hard reset. Restores all to factory settings. Re sync and all your music, photos and contacts are re loaded onto the iphone. Make sure you sync/back up regularly to avoid lost data.

dxb335d · 08-19-2009, 02:27 AM

cheers for help geezas.
#Right i have downloaded my first tune.. (never had i pod previously)

How do i use it as a ring tone? i go to ''sounds'' etc ''ringtones'' and it does not come up as an option!?

E902717 · 08-19-2009, 04:06 AM

You can only make ringtones from music brought from the itunes store, when its downloaded go to it and right click and you should see create ringtone click on that then follow the instructions.

oh you will have to pay for it as well

I do know a way of making ringtones for free but for some reason with the new update to itunes it doesn't seem to work anymore

misterS3 · 08-20-2009, 06:24 AM

Carlos, do you still have the box?

Unplug the Iphone from it's charger, located the box, carefully put the phone, charger and cables back in the box. Now take the boz back to the shop where you got if from and ask for one of these

You must be the only male south of 65 that can't operate an Iphone! Supposedly Apple have done really well in recent years by making technology simple! I guess they never had you in mind

dxb335d · 08-20-2009, 06:39 AM

O have bought a song so supposedly I can use for rig tone. How to right click
