How can i wipe everything off of my computer?

i use to have a dell laptop and found out that by tapping f11 and ctrl  at the same time, that you could get it back to like when it was new. is there anyway i can do the same thing with my satelllite toshiba laptop?

Depends on what model you have.  Normally you hold down the 0 (zero) key when you power on the system which invokes the recovery process.  One of the options is to resote the system back to it's factory out of box state.  If it came with recovery disks you might need to boot to them to accomplish this.  If that doesn't work consult your Users Guide which is on your hard drive in Adobe Acrobat Format.  It should have detailed instructions on how to do it.  If that fails, post back with your complete model number.
If you don't post your COMPLETE model number it's very difficult to assist you. Please try to post in complete sentences with punctuation, capitals, and correct spelling. Toshiba does NOT provide any direct support in these forums. All support is User to User in their spare time.

    How do I wipe everything off, and go back to the way the phone was set when I got it? I am thinking that might be the only way to fix my wifi issue. Thanks!

    Hello, if you havent tried the doesktop manager option, you can do it from the device aswell... Just make sure you save all your contacts to your SIM.
    you can go into your Security Options (in Options menu) and select wipe handheld.

  • I have two excel files I cannot open or delete from my desktop.  One is titled 6ACAD200 and the other file is titled 8D73A700.  How can I get these off of my computer?

    From the names I'd guess they are temporary files. If excel is running, quit and try again. If they still won't move or delete reboot. If they still won't move or delete...kill a chicken at midnight under an oak tree?

    If it does not respond when plugged to a computer running the latest version of iTunes, then it is indeed dead and no content will be recoverable.

  • When I did the latest IOS i.0.3 update I lost all of my calendar entrees.  How can I recover everything that was on my calendar?

    When I updated my iPhone 4Sto IOS 7.0.3 I lost all of the events and appointments that were on my calendar.  HOw can I retrieve everything that was on my calendar?

    Same here. Besides the phone randomly crashing all the time I now also lost my calendar.
    I did a backup to iCloud and then updated the phone and I assumed it would get the data back from iCloud...
    Anybody hae a fix for this? Do I need to trigger a restore in iTunes? It seems that the calendar is still on iCloud but I fear that the empty calendar on the phone will wipe that.
    Really makes this device slowly unusable and not good advertising to upgrade the hardware....

    At the present time, the only way to clear that is to restore the phone as new.  Perhaps a future iOS update will give us the option to clear that cache.

    My FaceTime shows one user ID, my iTunes shows a different one. How can I get everything on one?

    You want to keep the iTunes ID since that is the one that you make purchases with. That should be your primary Apple ID email address.
    Go to. Settings>FaceTime>Tap your ID and sign out. Then sign in with the iTunes/Apple ID email address.

    You can share the same Apple ID in
    Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID: here
    But for all other Apple services like:
    FaceTime, iMessage, iCloud, etc, one of you should use a different Apple ID.

  • How can I take lion off of my MacBook Pro and go back to using Snow Leopard

    How can I take lion off of my MacBook Pro because it has too much problems with the new operating system, I have talked to Apple support for both computers and still nothing happens I think they know that there's something wrong and they don't know how to fix it are there working on fixing it. So how can I put snow leopard Mac on my computer so that it works every time, there's a lot of good features in Lion but there's a lot of bad features and especially when it comes to turning on your computer and the memory that it has held so if one item is missing then it doesn't work and you have to reboot the computer to get it to work but I still like my Mac.
