Help! Z61t - restore to factory setting problem
I tried to restore my Z61t to factory setting.
I did it from the thinkvantage > rescue & recovery > restore to factory setting
after that the laptop restarted by it shelf.
when it started, It asked me to put in the Recovery suplemental CD.
I put in my CD recovery which was I created my chelf after I bought this laptop two years ago.
but, it said 'wrong CD'.
so, click cancel. and the laptop restarted by it shelf again.
and keep asking me to put in the CD Recovery.
Should I buy this CD recovery from IBM?
and I am still wondering, if after I buy the CD. the restoring still not working.
anyone can help or give me advice for this matter?
many thanks!
@ denny_chr,
If you are booting using the blue Access IBM / ThinkVantage button you need to select to restore your system and then select factory restore. Do not select to restore from an image, the disc you created will not work.
Using Discs
Hopefully you created more than one disc; you should have created at least two, maybe three? Boot from the first disc, when it asks for the supplemental disc you need to click on "no", (otherwise you will get the wrong disc message), it will then ask for the first recovery disc; this is when you need to insert the second disc you made.
Hope this helps

Help please with restoring iphone factory setting
hey can someone help me please? i did "restore" to factory setting on itunes for my i phone and now after it reboot it has the icon of usb and itunes icon on screen and the only other option it lets me do is emergency call, what do i do?
Connect your iPhone to iTunes and perform the restore again. DO NOT unplug it until it is completely done and it's on.
If iTunes cannot recognize the iPhone, force your iPhone into recovery mode and try to do the restore from there. To do this, turn it off. then, press and hold the home button. Keeping it held, plug your iPhone into iTunes via the USB cable. Keep holding down the home button until the screen showing a USB cable and an iTunes icon. Then, iTunes will recognize your iPhone, and you can do a restore.
Again, do not unplug your iPhone until iTunes says it's done restoring. It will reboot your iPhone a couple of times before it's done. -

Ipad 2 still crashes after restoring to factory setting after upgrade to IOS 7.0.6
After recent upgrade to IOS 7.0.6, my ipad 2 started playing up. Lost the use of camera like many others. Followed advice to restore to factory setting after connecting to Itunes. Took several attempts to do so as it wasn't able to locate my ipad in itunes and kept saying it couldn't find my iphone? Not sure why it was looking for iphone. Anyway, I disconnected and turned off the ipad holding on to the Sleep button and home together and left it off overnight. Next morning, I found I could turn my ipad on. Feeling relieved, I started to input my details, etc, and in the middle of doing so, it just went blank and the apple logo came on. It kept going off and coming back again. I just turned it off again using the sleep and home button together and left it for a day. The next day I was able to get into my home screen but after using it to log into my emails, etc, it just went off with the apple logo appearing again. I really regretted upgrading to IOS 7.0.6. Nothing works properly anymore, ie my camera, the sleep button..... Wish I could restore back the older version. Is there any hope/cure for my sick ipad? Hate to spend lots of money on repair. Please help..
FORCE IPAD INTO RECOVERY MODE
1. Turn off iPad
2. Turn on computer and launch iTunes (make sure you have the latest version of iTune)
3. Plug USB cable into computer's USB port
4. Hold Home button down and plug the other end of cable into docking port.
DO NOT RELEASE BUTTON until you see picture of iTunes and plug
5. Release Home button.
ON COMPUTER
6. iTunes has detected iPad in recovery mode. You must restore this iPad before it can be used with iTunes.
7. Select "Restore iPad"...
Note:
1. Data will be lost if you do not have backup
2. If you did not do step 4 properly, start all over again. -
Phone will NOT turn on after synching & updating (or trying) to ios 6. ? ..... Is it REQUIRED to "restore" to factory setting? When researching, I read that you will get an option to restore from back up. I am not receiving any options on iTunes.... restore only & basically it is telling me I will lose everything.
I am reading on this site about the error I am getting and it wants me to change some files that I am not comfortable messing with. Mainly because it is like a foreign language. Will the store do this for me or tell me if it is neccessary?

I was trying to update sofwatare for my iphone 4s, i got stuck with recovery mode and only option i see is to restore from factory setting. Do i lose all the the datas ? i did't had any backup. What is a solution?
If you didn't back it up, your data is gone. There is no "solution" after the fact.

I'm getting the message "itunes cannot read the contents of the iphone" and asking me to restore to factory settings when attaching to PC. I have songs downloaded from itunes on my PC, and songs and apps downloaded to the iPhone from iTunes too. How do I restore to factory setting AND retain the tunes and apps on the phone or get them synched? The iPhone is working fine
iPhone4 v4.2.1 (8C148) (can't update this till above sorted)
iTunes 10.2.2.12
Basically, if there is some way of downloading a 2nd copy of tunes/apps already purchased I can resolve my issue, but I don't know if this can be done. Ican't find a FAQ on this. Thanks in advanceSee Erase your device Here > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
Go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings

Hi i have an I pod and i had used it as hard disk also. Now when ever i connect it with my Laptop it shows restore to factory setting....i wanted to knwo is there any way i can save the data which i had already stored in the I pod. I dont want to loose that data???
sure pretty simple. make a backup of your current settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US
then restore device from old backup you need pics off of
then import pics to computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
you may need to save pics to camera roll first
then restore the new backup and sync pics back to phone via itunes
Peace, Clyde -

IPhone restoring to factory setting
Help please.I have forgotten my restriction passcode,and I think there is no any option except restoring(if present please share) my phone to factory setting. I have no problem doing so,but I am afraid to lose my images and especially messages. Can I restore my iPhone with all my images and message as before. And what are the possible demerits in doing so that I may face in future.
The restore from backup process is all or nothing. You can read through this thread about how to edit your backup to remove/change the restrictions passcode:

ITunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone/iPad -restore to factory set
I've had this issue with my iPhone for almost a year now , every time I connect my device to my laptop I get this error : iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPhone/iPad . Go to summary tab in your device and restore to factory settings ! And after I do so , iTunes tries to synch my device and after a few minutes i get this error that theres been a problem with synching and the same story again , restore to factory settings ....
I thought well there is something wrong with my iphone and I was too lazy to get it checked out but yesterday i bought my new iPad 16GB 3G/WiFi and guess what ... Same error !
I've tried different cables and computers changing my OS , reinstalling iTunes and so far nothing ...
I'd appreciate if someone can help me with thisDwchico,
Hopefully I can help you. I had the very same problem from the get-go. Apparently, many others in the forums have as well. The problem appears to be something with the way certain motherboards mount USB devices. In particular, Asus motherboards have difficulty mounting iPad. If you are using an Asus based system, most have updated BIOS's that address the issue. I updated my BIOS today for my Asus G51J laptop and the problem disappeared completely. If you have an iPhone, you probably weren't having any problems, right? iPhone does not appear affected by this problem.
