Factory reset for ipad learning labs

We are considering purchase about 30 ipads along with the ipad learing lab stations for student use. Is it possible to have to factory reset in a mass managed way. For example, what would be nice is if we inserted the ipads into the lab station it would automatically sync to factory default erase all customizations the students did without having to manually do it indiviually. Or have the ipads talk to a centeralized center and we can tell the ipads remotely to reset to factory default.
I hope i'm being clear in what i'm asking.
thanks for the assistance.

Another forum contributor suggested a look at this site,in response to another thread. There is a lot of great information on mass educational device deployments. I think you will find it helpful.

HT1430 how do i factory reset my ipad without the having the login password

how do i factory reset my ipad without the having the login password

You force your iPad into Recovery Mode.
Recovery Mode
1. Disconnect the USB cable from the device, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
2. Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.
3. While pressing and holding the Home button, reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.
4. Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears, release the Home button.
5. iTunes should alert you that it has detected a device in recovery mode. Click OK, and then click Restore to restore the device.
Note: You need to be patient and repeat the above many times to recover your iPad. Data will be lost.

Factory reset for the MEX-BT3100P

How do you do a factory reset for the MEX-BT3100P car stereo.
I've messed up something and can't get any sound, although it still beeps. There is no reset button on the back, and a long time ago I had a sony rep explain to me the steps involved in doing a factory reset (some buttons to press) but can't find where that info is now. I can't find it anywhere on the site, and it seems online chat and telephone support can't answer my question either. Oh where oh where is that rep that I talked to so long ago?
hope someone has the answer.
thanks in advance.

ok, so it seems that pressing DSPL and the BACK/MODE buttons for more than 2 seconds resets it, and it brought it back to demo mode...
My CD still doesn't want to play though, so it must be a different problem I'm having... I can hear it boot up, and the timer starts to go suggesting that the song is playing, but no sound is coming out at all...
When I turn off the bike, the stereo beeps at me telling me not to forget the faceplate, so sound is capable of getting throught the speakers. Anyone have any idea what I"m doing wrong?

You may have to do this several times.
Saw this solution on another post about an iPad in a school environment. Might work on your iPad so you won't lose everything.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just canceling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.

Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

Turning off the iPad after wireless problems factory resets the iPad

Here is the scenario...
1.) The iPad will work perfectly for several days.
2.) Then it will no longer detect wifi networks at all. It simply says "No networks found". (This is not an issue with the wifi network itself)
3.) Power the iPad off and then back on normally.
4.) The iPad has now been factory reset and must be completely setup again.
Nothing atypical is on the iPad as far as applications going. And this scenario has happened multiple times.

If you haven't tried a restore of the OS, give that a try (without installing any third-party apps until you can confirm that the problem goes away) and see if it helps. If it doesn't, then it probably is a hardware problem and you will indeed need to contact Apple.
Regards.

Where to find the factory reset for Shuffle 3rd gen?

My dad just bought a preowned iPod Shuffle 3rd generation. We are needing to do a factory reset on it. I tried to do the conventional way after plugging the Shuffle into the USB port. After scanning for a while, it said it can't do a factory reset and gave me an error code of 1436. I went to the page for that error and tried to download the reset utility for iPod Shuffle. It said it wouldn't work on mine, it only works on 1st and 2nd gen. I've looked everywhere for the utility manager for the 3rd generation. I'm at a loss. Can anyone help?

Anyone?

I need to do a factory reset for a Go desktop 6835 with Windows XP Does anyone know how??

Does anyone know how to do a factory reset on the pavilion desktop 6835, ruining Windows XP?? I've tried what I did on my HP laptop, but it only restored the settings.

Did the selller tell you what version of OS X was installed when the machine originally purchased. If it had Snow Leopard on it you have an illegal verison of OS X, as the license for Lion and ML upgrades are not trasferable, they're also pretty useless to you because they're tied to the old owner's AppleID. If you are not sure or cannot find out then call AppleCare.
However if the machine originally shipped with Lion on it, the simply restart in the Restore Partion, do and erase and install and you're set. You can start in the Restore Partition by holding down the Command + R keys when you hear the startup tone and then choosing the Restore Partition and open Disk Utility.

Need to do a Factory Reset for iMac late 2011. How do I do it with little hassle

I recently purchased a iMac (late 2011) from ebay and it did not come with a Disc. I keep seeing that it will require a disk. The Current operating system is 10.7.5
Im eligible to download Moutain Lion from the Apple Apps store but I dont know when to do it? Before or After the Factory Reset
What do you I need before I get Started? Will it just erase everything and start brand new? (what im looking for)
It seems to be running slow and Im really really new to MAC operating systems so if someone could please walk me thru this it would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You !!!

Factory reset for macbook air 2012???

I was given a macbook air and I would like to factory reset it but I dont know how. he doesnt remember any old passwords and ive never used a mac. the OS X UTLITIES panel appears when I turn it on . I just wanna bring it back to "right out of the box" status. help! lol id really appreciate it

The first thing to do with a second-hand computer is to erase the internal drive and install a clean copy of OS X. You—not the original owner—must do that. Changes made by Apple over the years have made this seemingly straightforward task very complex.
How you go about it depends on the model, and on whether you already own another Mac. If you're not sure of the model, enter the serial number onthis page. Then find the model on this page to see what OS version was originally installed.
It's unsafe, and may be unlawful, to use a computer with software installed by a previous owner.
1. If you don't own another Mac
a. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.4 or 10.5, you need a boxed and shrink-wrapped retail Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) installation disc from the Apple Store or a reputable reseller—not from eBay or anything of the kind. If the machine is very old and has less than 1 GB of memory, you'll need to add more in order to install 10.6. Preferably, install as much memory as it can take, according to the technical specifications.
b. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.6, you need the installation media that came with it: gray installation discs, or a USB flash drive for a MacBook Air. You should have received the media from the original owner, but if you didn't, order replacements from Apple. A retail disc, or the gray discs from another model, will not work.
To start up from an optical disc or a flash drive, insert it, then restart the computer and hold down the C key at the startup chime. Release the key when you see the gray Apple logo on the screen.
c. If the machine shipped with OS X 10.7 or later, you don't need media. It should start up in Internet Recovery mode when you hold down the key combination option-command-R at the startup chime. Release the keys when you see a spinning globe.
d. Some 2010-2011 models shipped with OS X 10.6 and received a firmware update after 10.7 was released, enabling them to use Internet Recovery. If you have one of those models, you can't reinstall 10.6 even from the original media, and Internet Recovery will not work either without the original owner's Apple ID. In that case, contact Apple Support, or take the machine to an Apple Store or another authorized service provider to have the OS installed.
2. If you do own another Mac
If you already own another Mac that was upgraded in the App Store to the version of OS X that you want to install, and if the new Mac is compatible with it, then you can install it. Use Recovery Disk Assistant to prepare a USB device, then start up the new Mac from it by holding down the C key at the startup chime. Alternatively, if you have a Time Machine backup of OS X 10.7.3 or later on an external hard drive (not a Time Capsule or other network device), you can start from that by holding down the option key and selecting it from the row of icons that appears. Note that if your other Mac was never upgraded in the App Store, you can't use this method.
3. Partition and install OS X
a. If you see a lock screen when trying to start up from installation media or in Recovery mode, then a firmware password was set by the previous owner, or the machine was remotely locked via iCloud. You'll either have to contact the owner or take the machine to an Apple Store or another service provider to be unlocked. You may be asked for proof of ownership.
b. Launch Disk Utility and select the icon of the internal drive—not any of the volume icons nested beneath it. In the Partition tab, select the default options: a GUID partition table with one data volume in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format. This operation will permanently remove all existing data on the drive.
c. An unusual problem may arise if all the following conditions apply:
          OS X 10.7 or later was installed by the previous owner
          The startup volume was encrypted with FileVault
          You're booted in Recovery mode (that is, not from a 10.6 installation disc)
In that case, you won't be able to unlock the volume or partition the drive without the FileVault password. Ask for guidance or see this discussion.
d. After partitioning, quit Disk Utility and run the OS X Installer. If you're installing a version of OS X acquired from the App Store, you will need the Apple ID and password that you used. When the installation is done, the system will automatically restart into the Setup Assistant, which will prompt you to transfer the data from another Mac, its backups, or from a Windows computer. If you have any data to transfer, this is usually the best time to do it.
e. Run Software Update and install all available system updates from Apple. To upgrade to a major version of OS X newer than 10.6, get it from the Mac App Store. Note that you can't keep an upgraded version that was installed by the original owner. He or she can't legally transfer it to you, and without the Apple ID you won't be able to update it in Software Update or reinstall, if that becomes necessary. The same goes for any App Store products that the previous owner installed—you have to repurchase them.
4. Other issues
a. If the original owner "accepted" the bundled iLife applications (iPhoto, iMovie, and Garage Band) in the App Store so that he or she could update them, then they're irrevocably linked to that Apple ID and you won't be able to download them without buying them. Reportedly, Mac App Store Customer Service has sometimes issued redemption codes for these apps to second owners who asked.
b. If the previous owner didn't deauthorize the computer in the iTunes Store under his Apple ID, you wont be able to authorize it immediately under your ID. In that case, you'll either have to wait up to 90 days or contact iTunes Support.
c. When trying to create a new iCloud account, you might get a failure message: "Account limit reached." Apple imposes a lifetime limit of three iCloud account setups per device. Erasing the device does not reset the limit. You can still use an iCloud account that was created on another device, but you won't be able to create a new one. Contact iCloud Support for more information. The setup limit doesn't apply to Apple ID accounts used for other services, such as the iTunes and Mac App Stores, or iMessage. You can create as many of those accounts as you like.

Factory reset for Kufatec Fiscon in Audi A3 without a paired phone

I just bought a second hand Audi A3 with the Kufatec Fiscon bluetooth system installed. I have been unable to pair my 5 or 5c with the Fiscon, even though it is showing up in the bluetooth menu on my phone.
Reading through the forums it seems that one solution might be to factory reset the Fiscon system. Is it possible for me to do that without a phone that is paired to it? Without being able to pair, I am not sure how to pull up the Fiscon menus on any of the Audi system screens.
Thanks in advance.

Find a support site for the system in the car.
It's not an Apple device.
