How do you reset an iPad to factory defaults?

Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

After updating software on IPAD from computer says I have to reset IPAD to factory default and will lose all data???

After updading software on IPAD2 tells me I have to reset to factory default and will lose all data

Kinda.
Read the following in its entirty before doing anything.
Note that a "Restore" could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

I have a P2035 that is stuck on MANUAL for IP configuration, how can I reset this to factory default

The ip address is set to 0.0.0.0 and I cannot connect to it at all to get to the webportal to reset or change, is there any way to reset to factory default?

Our process would involve the original owner taking or shipping the phone to a technician to be unlocked. However, since it is out of the warranty period, there may be a cost depending on your location. Call us: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/corporate/common/contact/phonelist
Others may suggest other options, but of course, we would not reccomend these.

How can you reset your Photoshop version default in Bridge CS5?

After installing Photoshop CS6 , I have decided my workflow is much better in CS5, but cannot get Bridge to acknowledge Photoshop CS5 with keyboard commands [ex. command O] after deinstalling Photoshop CS6.
I assumed this would have been a Preferences option but it is not.
Please tell me this can be done.
Personally, I find CS6 really slow, specifically with keyboard functions. CS5 would allow you to cue several tasks while it's working on present task. CS6 won't even let you close a file [command W] in mid-save...

Oops.
Hadn't restarted Bridge CS5 since deinstalling CS6. Now it's opening files in Photoshop CS5.

HT4060 tried everything and can't get my ipad to charge...how do you reset it if battery is complety dead?

tried everything and can't get my ipad to charge. How do you reset IPad when battery is completly dead? charger and cable works fine on IPhone.

First make sure you are using the charger that came with your iPad and plug that into a known good wall outlet. Let your iPad remain on the charger for at least an hour. It may take that long before it responds if the battery is completely dead. If using the charger that came with your iPad there are several reasons it may fail to charge.
Bad outlet. Make sure the Utsler has power.
Bad charger. Try a different charger.
Bad cable. Try a different cable.
Dirt in the connector. Check and clean if necessary.
Hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

How do you reset an ipad mini without knowing the password?

I have just recently changed my password, but know i have forgot the new one. How do you reset the ipad without knowing the password?

If you mean the passcode to unlock the iPad then you will need to connect it to the computer that you normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPad and restore/re-sync your content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPad into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.

With the original installation cd missing, how do you reset a computer (with OSX 10.5 upgraded to OSX 10.6.8) to its default settings?

The machine came with 10.5, those disks are not available anymore from Apple.
You use the $29 10.6.3 white retail disks you get from Apple store online or already have in your possession.
Yes you upgraded OS X 10.5 to 10.6.3 with them, it also contains the entire 10.6.3.
When you "upgraded" your Applications and User accounts folders remained while only OS X 10.5 folders was replaced with 10.6.3 folders.
So if you hold the c or option key down while booting from the 10.6.3 disks, you can use Disk Utility to erase the entire drive and reinstall 10.6.3 only, like a brand new machine.

Grandaughter has locked i pad 2 with passcode and then forgotten number how do you reset i pad to get it to work again

grandaughter has locked i pad 2 with passcode and then forgotten number how do you reset i pad to get it to work again

If You Are Locked Out Or Have Forgotten Your Passcode or Just Need to Restore Your Device
1. iTunes 10 for Mac- Update and restore software on iPod, iPhone, or iPad
2. iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
3. iOS- Understanding passcodes
     If you have forgotten your Restrictions code, then follow the instructions
     below but DO NOT restore any previous backup. If you do then you will
     simply be restoring the old Restrictions code you have forgotten. This
     same warning applies if you need to restore a clean system.
A Complete Guide to Restore or Recover Your iDevice (if You Forget Your Passcode)
If you need to restore your device or ff you cannot remember the passcode, then you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and re-sync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.
Try restoring the iOS device if backing up and erasing all content and settings doesn't resolve the issue. Using iTunes to restore iOS devices is part of standard isolation troubleshooting. Restoring your device will delete all data and content, including songs, videos, contacts, photos, and calendar information, and will restore all settings to their factory condition.
Before restoring your iOS device, Apple recommends that you either sync with iTunes to transfer any purchases you have made, or back up new data (data acquired after your last sync). If you have movie rentals on the device, see iTunes Store movie rental usage rights in the United States before restoring.
Follow these steps to restore your device:
     1. Verify that you are using the latest version of iTunes before attempting to update.
     2. Connect your device to your computer.
     3. Select your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch when it appears in iTunes under Devices.
     4. Select the Summary tab.
     5. Select the Restore option.
     6. When prompted to back up your settings before restoring, select the Back Up
         option (see in the image below). If you have just backed up the device, it is not
         necessary to create another.
     7. Select the Restore option when iTunes prompts you (as long as you've backed up,
         you should not have to worry about restoring your iOS device).
     8. When the restore process has completed, the device restarts and displays the Apple
         logo while starting up:
           After a restore, the iOS device displays the "Connect to iTunes" screen. For updating
          to iOS 5 or later, follow the steps in the iOS Setup Assistant. For earlier versions of
          iOS, keep your device connected until the "Connect to iTunes" screen goes away or
          you see "iPhone is activated."
     9. The final step is to restore your device from a previous backup. If you do not have a
          backup to restore, then restore as New.
If you are restoring to fix a forgotten Restrictions Code or as a New device, then skip Step 9 and restore as New.

HT201304 If I forgot my password is there any way to remove the restrictions and backup my iPod from the computer? I tried reseting it to factory defaults and then backing it up but it still has the restrictions on.

I'm trying to remove my restrictions, and i reset it to factory default, but everytime i back it up the restrictions are still on. I don't want to have to register as a new ipod and loose everything i've bought and added.

- Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
- If you are up to it see:
