How to Hard Reboot an iPhone or iPad

By


No one can easily doubt over the engineering efforts made by Apple. Despite of that there are some chances that your iPhone or iPad might stop working, by which I mean it stops responding to your touch. At that moment you need to reset your iPhone and considering the worst scenario no matter how long you hold the power button the power off option doesn’t show up.

This condition may arise due to any software bug or unwanted behaviour of any app.
In such cases there is  a straightforward method to resolve it , which involves forcing your device to reboot.

This method is termed as reset or hard restart which is done by holding down the combination of 2 buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds or more. By doing so all running processes will be cleared and the device will be rebooted forcibly.


Talking about iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, the Home button is not a physical button anymore. So the button combination is bit different in these devices than their predecessor.



How to hard reboot or reset iPhone 7 & iPhone 7 Plus

As I mentioned above Home button is not anymore a physical button . So to reset or hard reboot the device press and hold the Sleep/Wake button  and the Volume Down button on the side of the phone simultaneously. Just hold the combination of buttons until the screen goes black and the Apple logo appears. Be patient while doing the hard reboot , it may take up to 20 seconds to get the black screen and Apple logo.




How to hard reboot or reset other models(iPhone 6, iPhone 6s, iPhone SE and other models)

For other models of iPhone, to hard reboot or reset the device just hold the Home button under the screen and the Power button aka Sleep/Wake button on the top simultaneously unless the black screen and the Apple logo appears. This method also works for iPads.

If you faced any problem while doing so , please let me know , I’m here to help. Let me know via comments section below.

How To Backup Your Blogger Site/Blog ?

By
I hope , all those who are reading this post will be aware of Blogger or any other blog publishing service like Wordpress. If not, lets take a peek at that. Currently Blogger is owned by Google, which was developed by Pyra Labs. The blogs are hosted under sub-domain blogspot.com Blogger is one of the top free blogging platform. The major drawback of Blogger is that it is full of limitations. Google literally owns your blog, it has complete control over your blog. Google has the right to delete your blog anytime , if it founds you violating its Terms Of Services. It usually happens if you are spamming or doing something which somehow violates the Blogger Term of Services. That is the reason why I suggest to move to WordPress, where you can get self-hosted blog. For the above mentioned reason it is highly recommended for the Bloggers to take complete backup of their Blog including the content, template, themes and comments. By doing this you can have a safe side, if someth...
