Over the past few days, I came under a light attack. I was frozen out of my iTunes account after someone gained access to it. You all know I’m not an Apple basher. I love my iPhone. When anything works well, I will say so. When something doesn’t work, I will say that as well. I don’t care what company it is. So tonight, it’s Apple’s turn.
Earlier, I was syncing my iPhone to update some apps, when the syncing just stopped. I didn’t think much of it at first. I thought the iPhone had just reset itself. However, an hour later… the logo was still in the middle of the screen. I tried a hard reset, which of course didn’t work. Some friends recommended that I follow a few steps, and so far that has seemed to work. So how did I reset it?
- Plug the iPhone into your computer.
- Hold onto both the Home button, and the power button… and keep holding on. After it reboots, keep holding on and let it reboot again. Still do not let go.
- The next thing you will see is the restore screen. You’ll see the iTunes logo, and a little cable. At that point, you’ll be restoring a backup.
- Restore the last full backup that you have.
I’m looking forward to being able to use my phone again. Unfortunately, I have to reset a couple of passwords, and reinstall some apps. So yeah. The iPhone isn’t perfect. Yes, it’s great. But that doesn’t mean there aren’t chinks in the armor. I’ve never liked iTunes, for instance.
In this instance, I was lucky. The phone works again. What experiences have you had with your tech gadgets crashing. Were you able to restore and still use them? How difficult was it to do, in comparison to this?
