How to Recover iPhone From a Crash

Here my suggestion if your iPhone or iPod touch is getting a little grumpy, crashing and freezing.

Reboot
Your iPhone/Touch is really just a pocket computer and like all computers if left running for days or weeks on end it can start to develop a few issues that cause it to occasionally crash. When your devices screen turns off or when you press its power button at the top' it is not actually completely powering down but rather going into a sleep mode in a similar way to your desktop computer. Like a computer it will occasionally need a complete restart. To do this hold down the power button at the top until a red slider appears and drag the slider to completely turn off your device. Don't worry all of your data will be retained. Turn it back on by holding the power button again for a second or two. Be aware that its quite normal for your device to take a minute or so to start up from cold.

Force Quit
So what do you do if you're in the middle of using your favorite app and suddenly it just stops responding? It wont scroll, the buttons wont work and even the main home button of your device wont take you back to the home screen. Its not like a computer where you can just switch to the desktop and force it to quit! Well actually it is in a way. If an app just stops responding hold down the home button for six or seven seconds. This is the iphone equivalent of the Force Quit on a mac or End Task on Windows.

Forced Restart
If your entire device has completely locked up and you can't even shut it down using the above method there is a way of forcing it to restart. Hold down the power button as above but this time hold the home button at the same time until you see an Apple logo appear. This will actually force the machine to completely restart which will again take a minute or so.

Replace a troublesome application
If you have completely restarted your device but there is still one particular application that insists on crashing, you could try replacing it with a fresh copy. First of all delete the troublesome app by holding your finger down on it until it starts to jiggle. Tap the x that appears in the top left corner of the icon. It should be noted that if you delete an app which was purchased on your device (rather than on your computer) before ever syncing, the app will be lost for good and you will need to download a new version from the app store. The app has now been deleted and can be replaced with the copy in iTunes on your computer. Plug your device into your computer and wait for iTunes to open. In iTunes click your device icon in the column on the left and then click the Applications tab in the main window. Make sure the app you deleted from your device is selected to sync then hit the Sync button in the bottom right. A new copy of the app will be loaded onto your device.

Replacing your settings
No amount of restarting will help if it's the actual data on your device that is corrupt. Luckily Apple has provided a way to replace key data. Open the settings application and select General.Scroll down to the bottom and select Reset. The first two items in the resulting list are Reset All Settings and Erase All Content and Settings. Ignore the following four items. Settings are all the ways in which you have customized the device for your own use and content is the media and data you have loaded on to it. Resetting settings will restore your device to its initial condition but keep all of the media you have added to it. Erase all content and Settings will completely restore your device to its original condition when first purchased. If you now re sync your device with your computer it will be populated with a nice fresh copy of your content.

I do hope this information has helped you restore your iPhone/Touch back to the smooth running device it was when you first starting using it and prevents further frustrations in the future.

Apple IPod Vs. Apple IPhone

This is my thoughts about IPod Vs. IPhone.

Only a few years, I wonder aloud whether Apple is still relevant, or very much money. It was shortly before the iPod came, and I was also not in line, as if Apple had an enterprise. I was not Apple's all that much and they are very useful for many years.

Now that the iPod and the iPhone has revolutionized and their specific fields of technology. But these two giants Apple has more influence?

Next came the iPod, MP3 player, not all that popular at all. The first iPod was clunky and ugly, but it still has high quality, portable music to the mass. Apple iPod actually caught, even if it has been tightened. Apple iPod Nano and Shuffle, and Apple flagship product has more customers. Apple iPod is certainly one of the most important pieces of technology from the consumer for many years. Apple's iPod line launched in essence a whole new way for people to listen to music. They do not go anywhere these days without someone has an iPod.

At the same time, the Apple iPhone is a revolutionary product. The people waited in line to take, despite the heavy price tags. Well, Apple's iPhone plans, a new iPhone 3G model, which adds even more hype. The iPhone, which is much more expensive mobile phone features and the simple and easy to use, such as the Windows operating system on the computer again the same day.

So, if the iPhone is a popular and unique device, it is not quite the overall impact of the Apple iPod is so far. More and more people buy the iPhone (it is difficult, because it is so expensive) and more features are added, he has the option on the general impact on the iPod. The sky is the limit of the Apple iPhone, because you can do so much more in view of the Apple iPod is primarily a music player. Video players have been well supported by iPods, but they are not much more can add offers for Apple iPod, which some of the targeted price range $ 100 - $ 250

Both the iPod and Apple's iPhone has the great inventions that have changed, and Apple at the forefront of the industry again. Now if only the Apple iPod could solve a small problem with breaking their guarantees, we are really determined.
