Does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh?
Hi all, so I forgot my book's passcode and I reset it from the Recovery mode. All is fine, but I was wondering does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh? All the chains, registries and all, just like a fresh copy of Windows ? Or did I mixed up all...
P.S. Strange after the factory reset and the system's downloading I got this as apps (of course some are downloaded by me)
does a factory reset delete all and make the new copy of OS completely fresh?
Actually, the "delete all" part is done by your using Disk Utility to erase the partition, as part of your clean install.

A while back I made a gamecenter account that was not associated with an Apple ID, it was with my email, now my gamecenter account IS my Apple ID. I want to delete it and make a new one, but i can't figure out how. Help!
Since you can't delete Apple IDs and having multiple Apple IDs can cause confusion, what you may want to do is rename your existing Apple ID to the new email (desired Apple ID). That would in effect do what you want, get rid of the old and give you the new.

Hey,
Got a new Iphone, my icloud doesn´t work. How can I delete it and make a new one? The email address is wrong so I can´t varify it.
Can´t download apps, because it´s wrong. What can I do? Please help!Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can delete your account at settings > iCloud, scroll down and tap delete account. You can then enter details of any new account you create.
Note. The purchase of apps are done through an iTunes store account not your iCloud account. If you are having issues downloading apps, it isn't related to your iCloud account. -
Why so I keep getting 'blocked-plug in' message! Very frustrating. Never happened before. related to Adobe Flash Player for videos. Have deleted Adobe and put the new Adobe on, but still get message. Seems others have had this same problem.
What is your current Flash Player version: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/installation-problems-flash-player-windows.html ?
What is your display adapter, driver version & date? See http://forums.adobe.com/thread/945765 -

I have purchased music, apps, or books with multiple Apple IDs. How can I get all of this content onto my iOS device?
First, you need to copy all of your purchased content so it is on the same Mac or PC with iTunes. This computer should be the one you sync your device with. For more information on how to move your content, see these articles:
Mac: iTunes for Mac: How to copy purchases between computers
PC: iTunes for Windows: How to copy purchases between computers
Next, authorize your computer to play content with each Apple ID in iTunes. Once your computer is authorized for all your content, it can be synced to your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch.
Cheers,

why does a document get a zipper on it, I downloaded it I don't know why it's "zipped" when I try to open it it make another copy I can't open what is the problem what did I do to cause this?
Zip is a method of compressing files for archiving, and is often used for downloading large files or installers.
Double-clicking the Zip file should unzip it, leaving the original file nearby on the dektop (or in whatever folder you downloaded to).
If the Mac's built-in tool can't open it, obtain Stuffit Expander from http://www.stuffit.com/mac-expander.html That will open most forms of compressed files. -

When opening any video on YouTube, I receive the following notice: "An error occurred. Please try again."
I installed FF 13.01 by means of the automatic updater.
Before the update, I was able to access YouTube videos. After the update, I have not.
Before the update, Chrome was the default browser. I changed this to FF. Since then, I have not been able to view videos through FF.
Chrome accesses YouTube videos.
The video showing add-ons within Firefox does work.
Two add-ons are listed: RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin and Skype Click to Call. Both are disabled.There are some compatibility issues between the latest Flash player and some Firefox add-ons or settings. Could you see whether anything in these articles helps:
* [[Flash 11.3 doesn't load video in Firefox]]

Adobe digital does not recognise my Kobo e-reader following update. Tried factory reset of Kobo and re-installing Adobe. Any suggestions please?
The lack of response is deafening. Im guessing then that Firefoix has serious issues then?..well it'll be there loss if more, like me, opt for Internet Explorer and Google Chrome (both these browsers work fine with the latest Flash Player installed)

What, *exactly*, does a factory reset do?
My Thinkpad T430, less than a year old, is having issues - corrupted .dll files, Windows Update not working, all sorts of fun stuff. I am waiting on someone to e-mail me clean copies of the .dlls I need BUT am concerned that that won't fix everything, especially the problems with Windows Update. I've exhausted pretty much every other option I can find to try to repair this at this point. The nuclear option is a reset to Lenovo factory settings from the Windows repair environment accessed by pressing F8 during boot, but before I do that I want to understand *exactly* what I would be doing to my computer.
Specifically: will a factory reset return all Windows system files to their original state, meaning there is no chance that the issues I'm having will persist? Will it guarantee that Windows Update will work again and that all of my .dll and other system files will be in a fresh, non-corrupted state? Does the process replace current system files with original versions that were installed on the computer?
I just don't want to restore to factory settings and find that Windows Update still won't work and now I have to install over a year's worth of updates manually from the Microsoft website, one by one, or go through the trouble of having to reinstall all of my programs, get my files back on the computer, fix settings to be as I want them again, etc. only to not have these issues fixed.
Thanks for any help/input.
Solved!
Go to Solution.OK,
IMHO the simplest way to perform the factory recovery is to prepare factory recovery media (cd+ 3dvd, or usb flash drive, 16 gb in size) using Factory Recovery Disks applet within Control Panel.
After that recovery process all information on laptop will be deleted (OS, applications, user data) and the state of the OS and applications will be as from the factory. So before that process perform your data backup. Of course after laptop recovery you should to upgrade the OS, drivers, applications from Lenovo, install your applications again.
Or you can repair and replace files (.dll as you mentioned) yourself from the recovery environment by pressing ThinkVantage button while laptop boots up. But it's useful way if you have full system backup.
I''d advice to make full system backup after factory recovery, with upgraded drivers, applications.
