How can I restore my ip5 to factory settings?

I lost my ip5 and locked sim then ı found it but it is disabled and simlocked. I tried to restore it by using itunes but my laptop is new so ı dont have stored setting or anything that can help. I tried to restore to factory setting by pressing and holding home button while it is connected itunes. It downloads but in the middle of downloading iphone turns on and itunes ask for a permission. if ı allow nothing happens. if ı do not allow, nothing happens neither. besides ı can not get the sim card out.

Throw away any files which may contain sensitive data and securely empty the Trash.
If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, insert its original disk and restart the computer with the C key held down.
If it shipped with Mac OS X 10.7 or newer, restart with the Command and R keys held down.
Use the Disk Utility to erase the partition with Mac OS X installed, and then install a fresh OS onto it. If you used a disk and are going to sell or give away the computer, include the disk with it.

  • How can I restore a phone to factory settings without a menu or "Options"

    My daughters phone.  1 year old.  She can text and rec texts.  Call and receive calls.  Alarm clock works.  When she hits menu it is blank.  She has no Applications.  Also the hour glass spins for a minute or two before it turns on.  We went to ATT store and they suggested restoring the phone.  THat isn't an option becuase she doesn't have the "OPTIONS BUTTON" available to her.
    She called tech support thru ATT and they were not able to make any suggestions.  ANy ideas.  
    And NO she did not ever back up her phone to her computer.

    Hi!
    Have you done a battery-pop reboot? It can clear some things up. With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes. See if things have returned to good operation.
    After that, you can decide if you want to to a Wipe...but one step at a time.
    Cheers!

  • How can I restore my keyboard to factory settings? (some keys not working on new unit)

    I bought an HP dv6-6167cl last night from Sam's Club and I like the notebook but for some reason the right shift key - ( a longer shift key with both "Pause" and "Shift" written on the key) does not work at all. I'm trying to determine if this is a driver or system configuration issue or if I need to exchange the computer for a different one. It may even be user error - is there some sort of trick to using this shift key? (function toggle or something)
    This question was solved.

    Try to backup your personal files and perform a recovery which would put the Notebook back to factory condition. The instructions can be found below

  • How can I restore my Ibook to factory settings?

    I recenlty procured this Ibook from my uncle. He said that it stays at the apple start-up screen. I did the pmu and ram resets and it got farther to the Mac OS X start-up progress toolbar thing. It does that, and then it goes to a black screen, asking for a Darwin/BSD console login. I have no idea what it is, so I just want to use the restore discs to wipe the hard drive to get back to default settings. Or is there a totally different problem entirely? Can anybody help?

    Before you do a Software Restore, try Niel's suggestion in this thread:

    It may help.

  • I bought a mac 2 days ago and transferred some files on there using migration assist which I did not want to. How do I restore my imac to factory settings so I can start again?

    I bought a mac 2 days ago and transferred some files on there using migration assist which I did not want to. How do I restore my imac to factory settings so I can start again?

    Look in /Users folder. You can go to System Preferences > Users & Groups, open the lock and "-" delete the account it created.
    This is a problem whenever you use migration assistant after the initial install. The proper way to run Migration Assistant is in Setup Assistant when you first boot your Mac. I don't know why Apple isn't clearer about this issue.

  • How can a reset my mac to factory settings.

    How can a reset my mac to factory settings.  I have done something wrong and I think at this point it would be better to start form scratch

    Restart holding both the Command and R keys.  That will boot the machine to the recovery hard drive, a hidden partition that starts cleanly to the Mac OS X.  You can then choose from the Utiltities drop down, Disk Utility.  From that you can format the hard drive...you will then have to choose to Reinstall Mac OS X...doing this erases the hard drive and you lose all content.  Make a backup on an external hard drive first so you can restore your applications and so you don't lose your data.

  • How do I restore my ipod to factory settings, but I have a passcode lock, and my screen is broken so I can't type in my password when I connect to itunes?

    Okay so I have had my ipod 4th gen for almost 2 years buy the screen has fallen out of the back casing, (I bought it as refurbished) and I am trying to reset it to factory settings, so when I get a new one I can register my device on apps/games since some apps require that you can only register on one device, but I think the thing that connects to the screen is ripped so the screen won't turn on and I can't physically touch it. What I want to know is how can I restore it with me not being able to type in the password lock since the screen is broken?
    or is there a way to disable the passcode lock through the computer?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • Help please!  Urgent!  How do I restore my computer to factory settings?

    I got a potential buyer for my macbook pro because I'm selling to buy a Mac Pro. Anyway, he wants to pick up the computer in an hour and a half. I need to restore the computer to factory settings WHILE ALSO getting Windows XP off of this computer and making it one big Mac OSX hard drive as if someone just bought it. How do I do that? Please help! THANK YOU!

    First, use the Boot Camp software to restore the drive to one partition (although I don't think you need to do this, it can also be done with what I'm about to say). Then, boot up using the system software the computer came with (the grey OS X discs), and open up the Disk Utility program. Format the hard drives you want to format, and if you didn't do the first step I said, I think you can format the Windows drive then format the Mac drive, then merge the two.
    Then, restart and re-install the OS (Mac), and everything should be the way it was.
    Just make sure to backup any data you want to save!
    Hope that helps.

  • Can't restore MacBook Pro to factory settings/boot from usb or dvd

    So I recently got a MacBook Pro, currently running OS X 10.7.4 Lion. I am well-versed in the world of Windows, however am quite new when it comes to macs (whole reason why I got it).
    I'm trying to restore it to its factory settings without owning a restore disc. The HDD only has one partition (no recovery partition).
    I have located and downloaded a torrent for an OS X installer, specifically a .dmg image file containing OS X 10.7.
    I tried burning that image to a DVD, but when I go to boot from the DVD (to my understanding, this is done by holding "C" during boot) it doesn't work, and just continues to proceed to the logon screen as it normally would.
    I have tried converting the image from a .dmg to a .iso (something I am far more familiar with) using one of my Windows machines, and then burning that to a DVD, however, it yields the same result as above.
    I have tried using the Disc Utility to format a flash drive (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) and then using the same Disc Utility to "restore" the image file to the USB drive. When I go to boot from this (holding alt/option at boot) it shows the internal HDD as the only bootable drive.
    Is it possible that since I am technically running a newer version of Mac OS X (10.7.4 and using an installer of 10.7) that it will not allow me to do so? I know Apple has made it difficult to downgrade iPhones and the like, and I suppose it wouldn't surprise me a great deal to find out that the same applies to their computers.. But if I am attempting to boot from a different source, and use that to format and repartition my HDD, then I don't see why that would matter...
    Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Shootist007, but that's not accurate.  There were no disks of any kind included with the MacBook Pro I bought.  I am very anal about keeping everything that comes with a computer.  I don't misplace or lose them.  I've been buying computers since '88, and I am very careful to maintain original items.  I searched the original MacBook Pro box several times, and there's nothing in there but the original purchase receipt from the Apple Store and the form fitting black plastic tray and cushion.
    I did try wiring the system, and that's when it tried to restore Lion (and wouldn't let me do a restore of anything else).
    Are you saying that if I do upgrade to Lion, and then do a system restore, then the buyer will not be able to use Lion?

  • How can I restore an iPad to factory.....WITHOUT "upgrading" to IOS-*?

    I have an iPad 2 that I want to give to a friend.  I'd like to reset it to factory settings, WITHOUT "upgrading" to IOS-8 (I have a 4 that is upgraded & fine, just have my doubts about 8 on a 2).  I've had it laying around my office and I'm not sure whether I ever backed it up previously at home (know I haven't done it here). 
    Is there a way to avoid IOS-8, or should I just sync it & remove all my music, photos, etc. then give it to him?
    Sam

    K-Tim,
    Thanks for the quick reply.  Will doing that keep the current IOS-7 on it then?

    but it does look as if it now is a hardware issue .....sorry
    Did you not clear it before sending to the online Co
    just a thought was it carrier locked ?if so I would guess the online Selling Co may have hacked it to remove the lock to sell it as a not carrier locked device
