Has my PC been restored ? Can I tell if it is a new PC ?

Hi, I have recently puchased a new HP 6000 Pro Desktop PC and suspect the computer may have been previously used and restored to factory settings.  Is there any way of telling if this is the case?
Thanks,
Phil

Phil, welcome to the forum.
If the computer had been removed from the original packaging, it would be almost impossible to get it back in the same way.  At least, I have never been able to do it.  This would be the first thing to determine.  Another thing to check is which value-added software came installed from the factory.  Normally, when a System Recovery is completed, some of it will not be installed.  It is not included in the Recovery discs.  Other than these two possibilities, I am not certain that you will ever know.
If the computer runs properly there should be no problem.  It will be fully covered by the warranty.
Please let us know if this solves your problem or not.

    Use the iSwifter browser from the app store. Works for most flash content.

    Hi!
    Do you run automap 4.8/4.9? If so, then the chance is that automap is the culprit for slow undos/redos on LPX 10.1. Delete the Novation controller in the LPX controller surfaces. You find it under preferences/controller surfaces. If that is the solution for you, then uninstall automap. You find the uninstaller under applications-automap.
    Good luck!

  • Has my Ipad been restored?

    So.. I know theres nothing i can do it about it but I recently left my Ipad at my mums house and now its gone missing, I have reasons to believe it was my brother... So ive came on support on here to see if it comes up when i sign in with my apple ID only showing my phone, aswell as find my ipad nothing comes up. My partner says it may have been erased/restored? I am so mad this has happened i just want this to be a true fact so i know its him. A visit to the police i think even though they will do nothing about it as it wasnt insured! So wish it was now.. silly me...

    If you can’t find your device, use Lost Mode right away to lock it with a passcode, display a custom message on the screen, and keep track of its location.

  • I had an ipod touch and I lost it, but I had dowloaded a movie onto it and sank it to my computer which has since crashed and I can't transper my movie to my new computer- what do I do? I've tried home sharing and transferring purchases but nada

    Your music will be where you put it.
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a abckup copy of your computer.
    If you have failed to do this then you can redownload some itunes purchases in some countries.

  • Can anyone tell me why my brand new program, Premiere Elements 13, will not open?

    I installed Adobe Photoshop Elements 13 and Premiere Elements 13 last night and it was working.  This morning I tried to open the program to play with it some more and it won't open.  Any suggestions?

    Do you receive any error message codes?
    NOTE - McAfee kills the program http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1460089?tstart=0
    From the Premiere Elements Information FAQ http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1042180
    •You MUST use an account with Administrator Privileges to run Premiere Elements
    •(Doing Run as Administrator http://forums.adobe.com/thread/969395 [says Encore and also for "All" versions of Premiere] will sometimes fix "odd" errors)
    •What version of Premiere Elements? Include the minor version number (e.g., Premiere Elements 12 with the 12.1 update)
    •What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.9.4"---not just "Mac"
    •Has this ever worked before?  If so, do you recall any changes you made to Premiere Elements, such as adding Plug-ins, brushes, etc.?  Did you make any changes to your system, such as updating hardware, printers or drivers; or installing/uninstalling any programs?
    •Have you installed any recent program or OS updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.)
    •What kind(s) of image file(s)? When talking about camera raw files, include the model of camera.
    •If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?
    •What were you doing when the problem occurred?
    •What other software are you running?
    •Tell us about your computer hardware. How much RAM is installed?  How much free space is on your system (C:) drive?

  • I've had my iPhone 4s for less than 6months and my camera has quit working. How can I fix it or get a new phone?

    I've had my Apple iPhone 4s for less than 6 months and the camera has stopped working. How do I go about fixing it or getting a new phone?

    There is a manufacturers warranty of one year. If you call 800-922-0204 they will send you a second hand iPhone. You then send the broken camera one back per their instructions.
    Or just walk into an Apple retail location and they can fix or replace on the spot. Personally I would go to the Apple store.
    Good Luck
    PS if the camera shows signs of breakage Verizon will charge you for the cost of the device. Apple will also unless you opt for a repair which could also run some money.

  • How can I tell the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display and the old MacBook Pro with retina display by looking

    I'm just wondering the differences between the new MacBook Pro with retina display which was just released in October 2013 and the old MacBook Pro with retina display.

    Thank you for the reply! As you said they looked exactly the same, so I'm not able to tell the differences just by looking, right? I'm thinking to buy a new 13-inch MacBook Pro with retina display, but I'm not buying the MacBook in Apple Store, I'm buying it in other shops, how can know whether they are not selling me the old model of MacBook Pro with retina display?

  • Can you tell a refurbish from brand new macbook by the Serial Number?

    Just wondering if there is any way to tell a refurbished macbook from a brand new macbooking using the serial number?
    Thanks

    So what I'm wondering is if I purchase a macbook online from them there's no guarantee that it's new??? It could be a refurb?
    No, if you buy a new MacBook it will be new. If you go to the page and choose a refurbished computer, then you'll get a refurbished computer. There is no way to check the serial number until it arrives. If you went to an Apple retail store, the serial number is on the outside of the box. You could ask to see the box before you pay for it.

  • Can anybody tell em How to use NEW TASK?

    Hi,
          How to define a new task for a Function Module?when i clicked on new task name its going to function pool and showing "DATA TASKNAME".now what i have to do means how to declare the taskname (thru example)?
    Thanks and Regards,
    Gopi.

    You can simply use a literal, I think.
    call function 'Z_TEST'
         starting new task 'TEST'
    Or you can use a variable.
    data: taskname type string.
    taskname = 'TEST'.
    call function 'Z_TEST'
         starting new task taskname

  • How can I tell all PCs has the DAU installed?

    I am running ZCM 10.3 on SLES 10. I have enabled patch management and I saw the DAU has version 38. How can I tell version 38 is the latest DAU for ZCM 10.3.
    Also, how can I tell all devices have the latest DAU installed? I came across a few devices have problem with ZCM agent and after I fixed the issue, I saw it started to install the DAU. However, if I have not touched that managed devices, I would not know there is a problem. Can I check all devices status with DAU on ZCC?

  • Am I able to retrieve photos from an iPhone after it has been restored?

    Is it possible to retrieve photos from an iPhone 5s after it has been restored? I had taken photos on my new iPhone 5s prior to restoring the previous settings and I never saved these photos. When I restored my phone from the old backup, my new photos were gone. I don't think they were saved to iCloud either.

    Without a backup with the photos on it, you will not be able to recover them.

  • Can I tell the file size of my .folio without an iPad?

    I've been searching everywhere for this answer, but alas, it has escaped me. How can I tell the file size of my .folio? I'm sure this is really simple. I'd like to be able to see the final file size of my folio without an iPad.

    I think if you log into acrobat.com, you should see your folio there, too.
    You see the article sizes and may be able to add them together.
    Be catuous, editing your folio through acrobat.com might break it.
