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.

OS X

Let’s start with the “native” for iOS and iTunes environment – operating system OS X.

So, if iPhone does not want to trust your Mac, you can try to clear the contents of the special system catalog Lockdown. Disable iOS-device from the computer, perform the shortcut [cmd] + [shift] + [G] and go at /var/db/lockdown/. You will see one or more (depending on the number of synchronized devices) files-certificates, which you need to delete.

After that connect your iPhone and confirm the confidence to the device. Now the smartphone should be determined by computer.

Windows

If you have a computer with operating system Windows, then the procedure remains the same. The only difference here, you need to display hidden files and folders.

Open Control Panel from the “Start” menu and go to the section “Folder” where the tab “View” choose the option of the same name. As for the address, it is different for different versions of Windows.

• Windows XP: C: \ Documents and Settings \ All Users \ Application Data \ Apple \ Lockdown
• Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 10: C: \ ProgramData \ Apple \ Lockdown

If the above-described manipulation did not solve the problem for Windows there is a more sophisticated way.

1. Open “Device Manager”, located in Control Panel in Windows 7 and in “System” in Windows XP.
2. Right click on the line with the desired Apple’s device, select the item “Update Driver” from the context menu, then “Browse my computer for driver software” and “Select driver from a list of device drivers”.
3. Click on “Have Disk” (if it is not available, you can select the category of “Mobile” or “Mass Storage Device” and click the “Next” button, then the button will be displayed).
4. In “Install from Disk” dialog box, click on the button “Browse”.
5. Go to C: \ Program Files \ Common Files \ Apple \ Mobile Device Support \ Drivers.
6. Select the file usbaapl (64-bit editions of Windows, it is called usbaapl64) and click “Open”. If the folder does not exist or it does not contain the file you want, look for it in the directory C: \ Program Files (x86) \ Common Files \ Apple \ Mobile Device Support \ Drivers
7. Click on “OK” button in “Install from Disk” dialog box.
8. The final touch – click on “Next” button and complete the driver installation procedure. Now you can open iTunes to check the operation of the device.

Since the official release of iOS 7 streaming music service from Apple is available to owners of the iPhone and iPad in some countries on the first tab of the standard application “Music”. On the one hand, users conveniently listen to music in one program, but at the same time it makes it difficult to develop iTunes Radio Corporation as an independent service and attract new advertisers. Therefore, if you believe the source portal 9to5Mac, iOS in 8 radio from Apple will be a separate application.

In Cupertino earlier resorted to the practice of “separation” applications. For example, in iOS 5 of the program disappeared iPod movies, videos and television shows that have been integrated into the application “Video”. And with the advent of iOS 6, Apple began to promote “Podcasts” as a standalone application, as appropriate section has been removed from the program “Music.”

In September, Tim Cook said that the number of users of iTunes Radio exceeded 20 million people. It is less than 75 million listeners Pandora, but does not take away the title of Apple service, the fastest growing among the competitors. Analysts Statista company estimated that currently iTunes Radio holds eight percent of the U.S. market streaming music.

For this indicator, iTunes Radio bypassed even Spotify , which boasts six percent share. It should be noted that these services work on different models of monetization: Spotify takes a monthly fee from their customers, and Apple provides iRadio absolutely free when you subscribe to iTunes Match . Otherwise, users will have to periodically interrupted by commercial breaks while listening to the radio. 

It is likely that the release of iTunes Radio standalone application can mean fast service coming into new markets – for example, Russia. While it is available only in some countries, and this hampers Apple develop its pretty promising product.

Apple has successfully test the waters in this new field and can now afford to allocate iRadio in a standalone application. If users really so pleased with the service, they will not be lazy and download the program of the same name from the App Store.

When we talk about Apple, first of all we have in mind a company that produces top-notch portable devices and computers. However, Apple – it’s a giant in the world of media. They bring the iTunes Store is not a small income and is the largest in its market. Korean company Samsung has succeeded largely, but not here, but they tend to catch up.

In June last year, Apple introduced the seventh version of its mobile operating system. In addition to recycled design in iOS 7 introduces some new features, including access to streaming audio service iTunes Radio.  And now Samsung has given its answer should be immediately informed colleagues of Business Insider.

New Korean service was called Milk, and it is available for free for users of smartphones Galaxy. Milk provides access to more than 13 million tracks with 200 themed radio stations. The service was launched with the support of Slacker – Internet Radio for Android-powered devices.

Korean service differs somewhat from iTunes Radio. For example the fact that it is absolutely free. Apple also does not take money for the audition, but embeds advertising if you have not paid for the service iTunes Match . Apparently, in the Samsung is well aware that Android users do not want to pay any money or attention. No advertising in Milk.

We can once again accuse Koreans copying . On the other hand, they do not just want to give users the Galaxy all that owners have iPhone. Every major tech company expands its scope of work, and there is nothing surprising in the fact that Samsung wants its music store, their cloud storage and its online radio.

We know that Apple – one of the solvency of the company, but we know how it is rich? Even if the manufacturer stopped selling gadgets, he still would have stayed afloat – iTunes would deter a company in the list of 130 most profitable companies. This opinion was expressed by analysts Asymco.

On a quarterly profit in the region of $ 7 billion iTunes ahead to Xerox, CBS, US Steel. And would make Google think. iTunes (along with all the services and applications) earns only half of what Google Search (search product of the Internet giant, one of the main sources of revenue for Google). The growth rate of profitability iTunes so high (34% per year), that two-fold advantage Google Search, as promised, will be short-lived.

If we consider separately from the App Store store music, movies and books, it appears that the company would fit on the 270 position in the rating. It’s not impressive because rivals will be much higher, but not upsetting because applications will attract in Cupertino $ 10 billion. Amount not only impressive, but also promising – compared with the previous year profit App Store grew by 105%. The likelihood that growth will continue, quite high.

Recall that Apple has been “dismantled for parts.” For example, last year the resource Businessweek calculated that if the company has been manufacturing only iPhone, it’ll be on the 9th position in the list of the richest. Profit in $ 88 billion would allow the vendor to circumvent Microsoft, Coca-Cola, McDonalds.
