How to restart/reset your iPhone or iPad
10:18:00 AM
iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad having problems or just being buggy
and unresponsive and curious how to restart or reset it? Strange as it sounds,
just like a computer, restarting or resetting can solve a host of problems.
We’ll show you how after the break!
Update: Re-Spring
iPhone 4S with Siri
iPhone 4S can do a very
quick re-Spring (relaunch of the Springboard, or Home screen system) thanks to
Siri.
- Hold
down the Home button
- Say
“Restart”
You’ll see your
iPhone 4S screen go dark briefly, then come back.
Restart your iPhone, iPod touch, or
iPad
The first thing
to try is a simple restart.
- Hold
down the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears on the screen.
- Slide
your finger across the slide and the iPhone will turn off.
- Turn
the iPhone back on again by pressing the Sleep / Wake button until the
Apple logo appears on screen.
It will take a
little bit till your iPhone turns back on this is normal dont worry.
If the problem is
still there after a power down or if the power down option failed due to a
freeze up, there is another option. You can reset your iPhone. Don’t panic,
your normal data will not be wiped.
Reset your iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad
- Press
and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at
least 10 seconds.
- Ignore
the red slider that appears on the screen and keep holding both buttons
until the Apple logo appears.
That’s it, iPhone will restart and
hopefully all your problems are cured.
The two methods
are slightly different, the first method is a soft reset only and leaves
running programsin memory. The second method completely powers down your iPhone
and also clears the RAM and cache.
