  • Is there anyway to reset ipad passcode without having to restore the factory settings?

    My little brother has locked himself out of his ipad. Although I am aware we can restore the factory settings he would very much like to save his photos.
    The ipad has never been synced or backed up.
    Is there anyway to do this?

  • IPad will not update or restore to factory settings.

    My iPad Air is stuck in recovery mode. I was using my iPad to watch Netflix when all of a sudden the screen display had lines going through it and then the device shut off. I plugged it in to charge, since it was almost dead and left it for a few hours. When I came back and tried to turn it on, it would not turn on. After a few attempts it did. and seemed to be working fine for about 5 minutes, until I tried to close a few apps, and same thing happened, lines through the display and then turned off. I tried to plug my iPad in to my computer to update it, but it must have malfunctioned while updating because then it went into recovery mode. I tried to restore the iPad to factory settings and I keep getting an error saying it can not update or restore.
    I then brought my iPad in to the Apple store for some technical support. The "technician" was less than helpful and only did what I had done at home: plug into computer and try to update & restore using itunes. Needless to say it did not work. He then told me it must be a hard drive problem and since I was 2 months out of warranty that I could get a replacement iPad for $299 +tax. I asked for the manager and of course "he was busy" and said this was my only option. I asked him how thsi could've happened and he told me he had no way of knowing and didn't know what caused these things to happen.
    I have been an Apple user for 10+ years and have enjoyed every product I have ever bought there. I am extremely disappointed that by me using my iPad normally, never dropping it, never spilling water on it and then their product failing that I have to pay almost $300 to get a replacement. It seems that this problem could not have been avoided, since they don't know what causes these things and that this was Apples fault for selling faulty products. I would have never bought the iPad to begin with had I known I would need to purchase a replacement only 13 months later.
    I am wondering if anyone has gone through something similar and if there are any other options for me.

    Did you put the iPad into Recovery Mode? Follow the steps in this Apple support document:
    If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    It could be an internal hardware failure though, as the Apple technician explained. While not common these things do happen. If that's the case you options are to replace the iPad with an identical model using the Out of Warranty replacement process and paying the $299 fee or purchase a new replacement iPad.

  • IPad stuck after doing a restore to Factory settings.

    I bought an iPad from someone and they didnt restore it to factory settings. So I went to general settings on the iPad. I selected erase memory and rest settings. It has been running for about 20 hours. Is this normal and if not ,what do I do? Thanks

    No, a restore to factory setting takes but a few minutes. So something is wrong. I would force quit the iTunes app and disconnect the iPad from the computer.
    Then run Apple Software Update on your PC and make sure that you are using the most up-to-date version of the iTunes app. If Software Update shows new versions of both iTunes and QuickTime, do not install them together. Windows users report issues with this, especially with XP. Install QuickTime first. Restart your PC. Then install iTunes second and restart your PC.
    While doing the above, try to fully reset the iPad. Press the Power button and start the iPad. Then press & hold the Home and Power buttons together for 10+ seconds, ignoring the red power-off slider, until you see the Apple logo appear.
    With iTunes up-to-date, connect the iPad to the PC and try a factory restore again.
    Let us know what happens. BTW, is this iPad 1 still under warranty?

  • How to restrict restoring to factory settings on iPhone 4S

    Hi,
    Is there anyway to prevent my phone being restored back to factory settings if someone was to steal it without using a pass code every time I use my phone? Exactly like the restrictions but I couldn't find out how to stop them restoring my phone back to factory settings.
    Thanks

    Nope. Since it looks like you are on ios7 then in order to restore you need the apple id and password you used to set it up. Anyone that steals your phone cannot restore it. Although not using a passcode is not recommended because then if it is stolen they can get all your personal information off the phone.

  • I have a HP Probook 6445b how do I restore to factory settings please help thanks

    How do I restore my HP Probook 6445b to factory settings

    Hi:
    If you have a recovery partition, boot up the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, tap the F11 key and you should be presented with the system recovery menu.
    If that doesn't happen or you don't have a recovery partition you will need to order a set of quick restore disks for your PC by calling HP for the country you live in at the link below.
    http://www8.hp.com/us/en/hp-information/summary/ww​-contact-us.html
    If there is a separate phone number for business PC's/notebooks, call that number.
    Inform the customer services rep that you need a set of quick restore DVD's for your notebook.
    You will be asked for the model number and serial number, so have those handy.
    Cost ranges from free in countries such as the UK, to $10 in the USA/Canada, to more than $10 elsewhere.

  • How can I restore to factory settings and wipe harddrive?

    I am selling my macbookpro 2.16GHz 120GB Duo Core online and I want to be sure that any information cannot be reclaimed from the hard drive. So far I have transfered my files to an external HD and erased all files on the laptop through the trash can application, including emptying the trash. I then inserted the original install disk which I believe returned the computer to factory settings because once it is turned on it begins with the welcome/ set up screens. But I really just want to be sure that I have erased everything and that nothing can be rebuilt from the hard drive. Should I have done something else to "deep clean" it?

    Boot from your OS installer disk. The one that came with the MBP. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select the hard drive and then select Erase. You have several choices for the erase procedure so select the one you prefer. The more passes you select the longer the procedure will take. Then install the OS. After the last reboot when Mac Setup Assistant begins to run quit it and direct the Mac to shut down. The next time it's booted (by your new buyer) it will run again and they will have the opportunity to set it up from brand new.

  • HT2731 how do i restore the factory settings on ipod?

    daugther put her password wrong 3 times. now blocked how do i restore factory settings?

    If it's showing the red disabled screen then you will need to connect it to the computer that it's normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync the content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
    If you do it via a different computer then :
    If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

  • Ipad mini needs to be restored to factory settings after ios7 what will i lose

    young daughter updated ipad mini with ios7.3. ipad now showing only itunes logo and image of connection to computer.  connected to computer and itunes saying that ipad is in recovery mode and must be reset to factory settings and i will lose all data.  It also says that ipad software is up to date. Not sure what to do, any suggestions?

    If it is showing that message, there is no other option other then to restore it in iTunes.  That process will wipe everything off it and return it to as it was out of the box.
    If you have backups in iTunes or iCloud, you can restore from those once it is working normally again.  Anything other than audiobooks purchased from the iTunes or App stores can be re-downloaded if needed.

  • Reinstalle​d and finally got HP Dir, etc. How to undo "Restore to Factory Settings"?

    Finally, a reinstall that looks great, even has HP Dir  accessable, although no desktop Icon.  Using  XP Home, SP3, 
    HP PSC 1310 series 1315xi,  (not s)  can't  find  My Profile  to  see  Settings options.   Clicked "Restore Factory Settings" but now would like to just try the updated install.   Can I do it without a  whole  new  reinstall, which might not come out as well as this one?   TIA.

    Hi,
    It actually displays a message saying something like No return. From my understanding NO RETURN means you can't undo the Factory Restore Settings after completion of the process.
    Hope this helps.

  • I forgot my passcode, the power button is stuck (phone is on), so how can I restore to factory settings?

    My 4s is locked out because we forgot the passcode.  I can't restore it from iTunes backup since I can't turn it off because the power button doesn't work.  If I treat it as a stolen phone and erase via Find My iPhone, will I need that power button to work in order to get it up and going again after restoring?

    The phone is pretty much disabled if either button doesn't work.

  • Reinstalled and finally got HP Dir, etc. How to undo "Restore to Factory Settings" though?

    Can I change "Restore Factory Settings",  to updated ones, just to try them,  and change back, if I want,   without a whole new  reinstall?  Finally got HP Dir, after more than a year!    No Desktop Icons, though.  TIA.
