Factory reset option does not appear.

First of all, sorry if this is not the correct section to post this thread. My problem is that, I want my Lenovo ThinkPad x200 (windows 7) to return to it's factory condition, now the thing is that, when I go to control panel -> System and Security -> Backup and Restore -> Recover system settings or your computer -> Advanced Recovery Methods....and now this is where the option "Return your computer to factory condition" SHOULD appear but it doesn't, instead the option "Reinstall Windows (requires Windows installation disc)" appears, the funny part about that option is that this laptop (lenovo thinkpad x200) doesn't even have a disc tray. Well going back to the topic, I want to reset Factory Reset my laptop because this laptop had a previous owner (my uncle, he gave it to me) and had already occupy a lot of space and I just want to reset it so it would at least feel like I am the first owner and manage my space. So I would please love some help from you guys so I can know if there is any other method to reset my laptop, or any solution so that the option "Return your computer to factory condition" could appear so that I can finally do this because I am really getting annoyed because I cannot find a solution to this problem. I also tried pushing the button "ThinkVantage" at the very begining when I turn on my laptop, but I do not know what to do to reset it.
Can anyone just tell me another way or any suggestion? Anything will help!
Thank you very much for reading!

When the system is booting, press thinkvantage button during the thinkpad logo and select restore to factory settings from the list of options. This will take an hour or half to put your system to factory condition.
Make sure to start pressing the button as soon as Lenovo comes on the screen.

As these are public forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support, I've asked the hosts to remove your email address from your post - it's not a good idea to post it unless you like spam email.
The reset link will only show if you have a rescue email address on your account - a rescue email address is not the same as an alternate/secondary email address, they are different addresses/settings on an account.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple to get the questions reset.

When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

99.9% of the time, the cause of this issue is the fact the phone was jailbroken/hacked to unlock it for use on networks other than the network the phone was originally locked to. Apple maintains a database of officially unlocked iPhones, and when Apple's servers detect phones such as yours, activation stops & you get the message you got.
So, either get a sim card from the carrier your phone was originally locked to, or get it officially unlocked, if you want to activate it. Because it appears that it was not officially unlocked

The Fan option does not appear for folders in the dock.

The fan option does not appear on folders on the Dock. Stack option is checked, but all I get is grid list and automatic....running 10.5.2
any ideas?

Not that I know of. When on the side no fan for folders and no 3D look, which I prefer. Background of the Dock very dark so the white dot showing an app is open is easy to see and it all looks very sophisticated.
You might check with third party apps to see if anyone is changing that, but most people don't like the fan so I doubt if anyone is working to add it in.

If you are on Version 11.0.1 rather than 11 Apple put it back in
View > Show Duplicates
Option + View > Show Exact Duplicates
so if you are on 11 upgrade to 11.0.1 and you will have it

Hi,
It may be synchronization issue.
Please first check if this user has been added to contact list. If they have been in contact list then restart outlook to check if this add button still exists.
Sometime we add user to contact lists, even users have added to contacts list, the Add button also appears instead of Edit button.
If this issue persists, please let me know.
Best Regards.

I have a MacBook Pro. When I go to system preferences, the external speakers option does not appear on the input tab and, of course, the external speakers do not work. Help?

When you plug headphones in, or external speakers, where it states "internal speakers", it will rename that "headphones", say. Unless you are running an external sound card.

Are you looking at the tabs on the right-hand side of iTunes when you've connected and selected your device on the left-hand side of iTunes ? i.e. it should be one of the tabs that you use to chose what content to sync to the device : syncing photos

Hi i also had a recent problem with a stuck cd in my 12" powerbook slot loading drive. I would suggest attempting all the operating system problem solvers first that are covered in other discussions on this site, such as holding down alt + command(apple logo thingy) + F + O straight away when starting up your computer. This brings you to the open firmware where you type "eject cd."
My problem seemed more physical than a glitch in the operating system The CD would try to eject several times each time failing with a horrid grinding unhealthy sound as if something was blocking it. After a while the computer seemed to disable the act of even trying to eject the disc and the cd would not be recognize on my desktop or anywhere else.
After days of suffering and failed attempts I managed to get the disc out by getting another cd that was not important, and placing it in the mouth of the slot loading drive and carefully bending the cd gently in a wrist swiveling manor so that the slot got pushed wider. This sounds foolish behavior I know, but cds have a nice flex to them which softens contact with the soft aluminum metal. After a slight widening I tried ejecting once more and it thankfully worked. The disc that came out was incredibly scratched so I came to conclusion that the drive had been squashed a little bit down the line.
Any way hope this works and sorry about the essay.
Pete
