Help!!!!! Factory Reset!!!

I had to do a factory reset on my computer because the CD ROM drive wouldn't work and it was the last solution i had after I had tried everything else. Now my computer needs the installation disc and I can't find mine anywhere??!? What do I do now? HP support sucks on the phone!!! I don't have 60$ to talk to them because I am not under warranty. Please help me!!

Hi Taydoll624,
Take a look here for recovery discs. Please let me know if this helps.
Good luck!

Help Factory Resetting!!

Hello, Recently i have tried to factory reset my Compaq Pressario PC SR5710Y. Every time it gets to 48% a message appears saying "error 1005. If the error persist contact HP Support" and im wondering what can i do about this problem.

Hello jack867!: since you can't get your machine's recovery past 48%
hopefully you either have Master Recovery media ordered from HP
2. Made Recovery Media from Recovery Manager included in the computer
try again by detaching all your hardware that's attached except your rodent & keyboard & follow what you see on your screen
because it's likely that the partition is damaged
in c.40 minutes you should have a normal desktop
immediately run scandisk to see if there's no latent HD issues lurking
3. if you own a full fledged retail copy of Windows in addition to doing the aformentioned
go to the Web page pertaining to the model model & download all the drivers that are part of your computer following what ever you see on the web bage
good luck
hope this helps

Please help factory reset ipad remotely

I did a stupid thing — sold my 3rd gen ipad and forgot to factory reset before mailing. It's in transit now, probably arriving to new owner tomorrow.
I need to remotely erase it without locking out the new owner. I can access it via icloud/find my iphone and it has a passcode lock. I don't remember if Find my iphone is loadeded on it or if I set it to delete content after # of incorrect passcode attempts. I suppose that would be the easiest way to fix this situation.
Via icloud, I've set it to erase all content as soon as it is connected to the internet. Then I'm thinking, he can email me that it's been erased, then I remove it from my icloud account and that will allow new owner to start from scratch.
Please let me know if this will work...or what will.
thank you!

Help Factory Resetting Pavilion dv6 1351nr

I'm trying to restore my Pavilion dv6 1351nr to factory settings. Unfortunately, I don't have recovery disks, and apparently don't have the recovery partition. I've tried going to disk management, and neither f11 or F while starting the computer are working; I just get a series of loud beeps.
I am semi-computer literate, however, nothing I've found in any of the forums so far is helping. I've downloaded all of the drivers from the hp website, but to no apparent avail.
Please help! I probably haven't provided enough info, so if you need any of that, just ask!

Help Factory Resetting OS X 10.6.8

I don't have the (OS X 10.6.8 Snow Leopard) disk, but was wondering if I can download OS X Mountain Lion through the app store, and then Resetting from that software. I guess my question is, is this possible?

Consider this, then:
Make Your Own Mountain/Lion Installer
1. After downloading Mountain/Lion you must first save the Install Mac OS X Mountain/
    Lion application. After Mountain/Lion downloads DO NOT click on the Install button.
    Go to your Applications folder and make a copy of the Mountain/Lion installer. Move
    the copy into your Downloads folder. Now you can click on the Install button. You
    must do this because the installer deletes itself automatically when it finishes
    installing.
2. Get a USB flash drive that is at least 8 GBs. Prep this flash drive as follows:
a. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
b. After DU loads select your flash drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left
      side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
c. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one.
      Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the
      partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until
      the process has completed.
d. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side
      list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
e. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the
      button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
f. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to an hour depending upon the flash
     drive size.
3. Use Lion DiskMaker 2.0 to put your installer clone onto the USB flash drive.
Note: The term Mountain/Lion used above means Lion or Mountain Lion.
Once you have a bootable flash drive installer, boot from it then you can erase your internal hard drive and install Mountain Lion on a freshly formatted disk.

Keyboard (hardware & onscreen) suddenly don't work anymore - only factory reset helps

I have my Passport for about a month now and just experienced the following problem for the second time: all of sudden the keyboard (both hardware and onscreen) don't work anymore. I cannot enter my device password anymore, I can focus the password dialog, but then simply nothing happens when I press keys.
After a restart of the Passport it asks me for my SIM card PIN. Again, I can focus the text field in the dialog, and I can touch numbers of the onscreen keyboard, and the number keys light up, but no input gets to the dialog.
There is simply no way to activate the device anymore. I can do a backup using BlackBerry Link, and I can access the device with BlackBerry Blend - but the device itself is useless. No kind of restart or reset helps. The only solution is to do a factory reset, after that the device works fine again - for some time.
Once this happened while I was on the road, without doing anything with the device. The second time it happened when I was trying to deploy a self written app using the Momentics IDE.
Additional information:
- development mode is on (needed since I want to develop Apps for BB10)
- Snap is installed
- a handful of Android apps from Google Play store are installed
- two BlackBerry World apps are installed (whatsapp and HUB++LED)
Did anyone experienced similar issues or has an idea what might cause this problem?
Thanks!

Have you tried using a usb keyboard/mouse?
I don't use any usb, only use PS2. Maybe it is possible to use some sort of a PS2 to usb converter, but I would rather like the PS2 to work.

Even after complete factory reset in a last ditch effort, my macbook is still awful. Why? Please help.

Aright, I'm really hoping I can get some help here. This macbook is the most expensive thing that I own.
So, I start up my macbook pro 13inch running macvericks a few days go and for some reason the fans are going full last and it's terribly sluggish. I dug around a bit and realized spotlight was indexing. I let it finish, then restarted my computer later that day. Then, as soon as it started back up this time the fans were going full speed again. I take care of my macbook, and I've never let it get close to overheating, then only thing that I do on it is browse the web, write, and record music using garageband. I was worried, so I looked at activity monitor and kernel_task was running full speed. I looked forever on the internet for a solution and found some useful tips about editing plists that solved my cpu problem. However, my fans still went full speed after I gave them some time to transtion, with a reset and all. So, at this point and I'm frustrated with merely the noise, I look around for fan control software and none of it stifled the raging monstrosity that has become my fan. My logic at this point? Back up everything and do a full wipe of the hard drive and reinstall mavericks. So I did. Here I am with a blank macbook pro that is now just as slow as it was and the fans are still going full speed. I can't believe I spent a years worth of saving to just have it suddenly combust on me like this. I hate to whine, but please help me. Now, the activity monitor shows levels of up to 80% cpu usage and no explanation on top of that. It's still incredibly loud and not hot at all. It's difficult to type this to you guys because my computer doesn't want to catch up. I read some stuff about involuntary indexing, I'll let the macbook run for a while today and see if anything starts to change. You're my lost hope guys. I called apple support but they wanted 19 dollars just to see if they could fix it or not, I didn't have the money to pay them now and I won't until school starts in a week, wherein I will deseprately need a fully functional macbook, the one that I paid for in August 2012 with literally all my savings.
*also, before I factory reset the macbook I did an smc and pram reset, I also took out the batter from inside the machine for 30 seconds.

Hi,
I am having the exact same problem with my macbook pro, I was just wondering if you ever got a solution for your problem? Its been persisting for 3 days and i literally just wiped the system and am in the middle of reinstalling mavericks as we speak (i too resorted to a desktop) It was only after that i saw this thread, and now i regret wiping the system knowing it probably wont work.. but however, fresh start and all that jazz. My warranty ended just last week so im pretty disappointed with the timing, and i cant afford to keep up the warranty another year. If you could give me a solution or some guidance that would be great!
Thanks!
Hannah

If your iPod Touch, iPhone, or iPad is Broken
Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5 and 5C. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.
You will find respective repair costs in the appropriate link:
iPod Service Support and Costs

There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit

I'd say you have a better chance of not loosing anything if you connect to your home computer-- but it's not certain. Yeah, I'd imagine it's very frustrating. I'm surprised Apple allows these huge updates outside of iTunes.
