Erase your iPhone or iPod Touch

Have an iPod touch or an iPhone you are getting rid of? Send me an email, I will send you my address! Yes, that was a joke, but I’ll take it if you send it! Regardless of where the device goes, you might want to erase it first. If you don’t, whomever you give it to will have all of your data and network info. Not good. The process is simple, but time consuming. Time consuming in the “waiting” capacity. It only takes about 20 seconds to get the process started. Here is how to get it done.

Select “settings” from the home screen.
Tap the “General” button.
Scroll to the bottom and tap the “Reset” button.
Tap the “Erase All Content and Settings” button.
Confirm your selection.
NOTE: This will erase EVERYTHING from your iPod/iPhone. It can take up to 4 hours to complete. Ensure you have it plugged into a power source. If the battery fails during the process, it could put the device in permanent paperweight mode!

Restore Lost Speed, Reset your iPod Touch

iPod touch giving you random problems? Have you noticed a lag developing in its performance? You probably need to reset it. You next question is probably something along the lines of, “Will I lose everything when I do it?” That was my first question, anyway. The answer is no. This is a basic step equivalent to restarting your computer. A reset should always be your first troubleshooting step for your iPod Touch.

Most people think that simply holding the Sleep/Wake button on the top of their touch until the power off slider appears, then sliding it to shut it down is the same as a reset. It is not. This only puts your iPod Touch into sleep mode. It is a low power consumption state only. All of your settings and background apps are restored upon wake-up. After a while, installing and removing apps; starting and closing apps; and adjusting and readjusting settings will take a toll on your iPod Touch’s memory and performance. Resetting it will alleviate these problems.

To reset your iPod Touch, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons simultaneously until the display goes black and the Apple logo reappears. Once you see the Apple logo, you can release both buttons. It will take a few seconds to a minute for your iPod touch to completely start.

That is it! You have successfully restarted your iPod touch. It is generally a good idea to reset your iPod touch once a week, depending on the level of use. Enjoy!

Manually Reset your Router

Personally, I like to reconfigure my home network every now and then to make sure no one who may or may not have gained access to my system without my knowledge does not enjoy free internet for as long as they live near me. There will be times that you will need to restore your router to factory settings…say, if you have forgotten your admin password, for instance. Hey, it happens to the best of us. Luckily, you do not have to buy a new router. Just perform a 30/30/30 reset. Pay attention…this is super complicated!

Locate the reset button on your router
Locate the power cord on your router
Press in the reset button (sometimes you have to use an ink pen for some routers) and hold it for 30 seconds
Without releasing the reset button, disconnect the power cord
Continue to hold the reset button in for 30 seconds
Without releasing the reset button, plug the power back in
Continue to hold the reset button in for 30 seconds
Release the reset button
Wait 30 Seconds
Power cycle your router

That’s it. You are now back to factory settings on your router. Enjoy!
