Of course, iTunes is useful program, but if you do not have a computer or just do not want to use iTunes, then you can make a reset iPad without it.

Please note: to make hard reset iPad without iTunes you need to know password from your tablet. That’s why I highly recommend to set a password on iPads. Even if you are sure that iPad does not fall into the wrong hands, your child can do the reset and remove all data.

What can be reset on iPad without iTunes?

Go to Settings> General> Reset and select the required option:

Let’s start with the simplest options that are in the third block.

A) Reset keyboard dictionary

When typing words using iOS keyboard, we sometimes add new words to the dictionary (if auto-correction is enabled). So: after performing the reset iPad all new words in this dictionary are lost.

B) Reset Home Screen layout

This option allows you to reset Home screen settings. This option is useful if you have lost the icon of the standard application. If the standard application on the main screen was in folders, then it will be disbanded.

C) Reset Location

This option allows to reset your location and privacy settings. What does it mean in practice? Many applications at startup ask the question: “App requests permission to use your current location”. If you reset location, all these application questions will be re-set at startup.

(Bonus!) When you connect iPad to a new computer, it always asks if you trust it. You can agree and the question will no longer be or refuse. “Reset location” resets “trusted” computers.

Full hard reset iPad without iTunes

Reset All Settings – this option allows to perform a complete reset of your tablet. All that you set up in one way or another on iPad will be reset (wi-fi, location settings, etc.). Applications will remain. The feature is a possible solution to the problem if iPad is heavily buggy for unknown reasons.

Erase all content and settings. All your information and settings will be deleted. Keep in mind that this process can take several minutes (the settings and data are cleared by removing the encryption key used to protect the data). Also note that you will not be able to use iPad until you have reset it to its original setting.

As you can see, you can hard reset iPad without iTunes. Moreover, you can reset some settings, for example, Location or Keyboard, but also perform a full hard reset with the removal of all personal data.

Today we look at the main reasons why your computer is not turned on and explain what to do if your Mac does not turn on.

So, if you Mac does not turn on, the reasons for it are two – you have a problem with display or a problem with the hardware. In both cases, it can be a miserable failure (which quickly resolved) or serious damage, because of which you will have to contact the service center.

If the problem is in the display you can check it simply.

Firstly, you should hear the sound of Mac startup, cooler operation, moreover, Caps Lock button should light up when you click on it. The computer is running, but you just do not see what is happening on the screen. If so, it is best to contact the experts, instead of makeshift attempts to correct the mistake yourself.

But sometimes it can be a problem with Mac “asleep”. I noticed that from time to time computer wakes up very hard and it needed some time to understand your intentions with respect to it. But we are talking about a few seconds, instead of the long period of time.

If you press Power button, but nothing happens, then the problem is with hardware. It is more problematic than the display, but there may be many causes which can be resolved without the intervention of engineers.

• Check the power cord. Sometimes the cord is disconnected from the computer, so it is not included.
• Broken outlet. Enough stupid situation, but possible – it seems that Mac is not charged, and the problem is not in it.
• Double-check the work of the charger – the problem is probably in it.
• The problem may be in a fully discharged battery – if it is completely discharged, it will take time to Mac a little charge before switching.
• Turn off all power-consuming accessories – mobile devices, USB-printer, and the rest devices. Perhaps they consume a lot of power.
• Try hard reset. Press and hold the Power button on Mac for 10 seconds and then reconnect the charger and try to run the device. Often it helps.
• If you have “upgrade” your Mac with new hardware – the problem may be in improper installation. Double-check that all is in place and is properly connected.
