  • How to reset by iphone 3gs to factory settings?

    I need to reset the phone to return to my friend who lent it to me, please advise how I do this please

    Turn off iMessage, FaceTime & delete the iCloud account. Then: Settings>General>reset>Erase All Content & Settings. Then give it to your friend.
    You need to FIRST turn off iMessage & FaceTime, or the device will still be associated with your Apple ID. DO NOT erase until you first do this.

  • How to reset my macbook back to factory settings with no install disk

    So I purchased a 2009 White 2.26GHZ macbook on ebay.  It came with just the macbook and charger, no disc.  And when I opened it to start it up, it was the "new user" screen asking for my Apple ID, create admin ID, wifi network setup, and such.  When I logged on it was the new Mountain Lion OS.  (The previous had stated that he had upgraded)  My question is, since I bought this used, I would like to wipe the hard drive before I really start using it because who knows what the person before me has done to it, (keylogger, tracker, etc) but how can I bring back Mountain Lion if I don't have any installation disc?  And what about the fact that this computer probably originally came with Leppord since it was from 2009? If I restart will I have Leppord or Mountain Lion?  Also, how the heck did the seller get to that "new user" setup screen for me when I turned it on??? The fact that I was like this leads me to believe that I must be able to do this... Wipe my 2009 macbook hard drive, and turn it on to a brand new Mountain Lion OS.  I am brand new to macs, and am looking forward to using this but I just want to make sure that I'm starting fresh!

    Legally the Mountain Lion installation is actually tied to the person who purchased it and put it on the MacBook. He/she should have removed it before sale as well as provided you with the original disks.
    Your best bet now, if you cannot get the original disk from your seller, is to contact Apple using www.apple.com/support/contact if you are in a country that supports it or call the appropriate phone number on this page, they can send your the original disks that came with the computer for a minimal fee.
    If you want to bring the computer's OS up to Mountain Lion, you can then purchase Snow Leopard from Apple online and install it, then go to the Mac app store and get Mountain Lion there.
    Best of luck.

    How to reset my macbook pro to factory setting?

    Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

  • I plugged my iphone 4 up to itunes and it reset my phone to the factory settings and removed all of my emails, texts, appd and contact list.  How can I retore my previous settings and information?

    I plugged my iphone 4 up to itunes and it reset my phone to the factory settings and erasaed all of my emails, texts, apps, and recently added contacts.  How can I restore my previous settings and information?

    iTunes doesn't just restore a phone to factory settings all by itself.  You must have selected the incorrect button.
    In any case, if there was a previous backup of your phone, you can restore your phone from this backup.  Any new data you added to your phone since this backup is gone.
    If you have no backup, then your data is gone.

  • HT5278 If I reset my iPad 1 to factory settings, how would I then update the iOS to 5.1.1

    If I reset my iPad 1 to factory settings, how would I then update the iOS to 5.1.1?
    As I believe the update would fail as it would be attempting to update to iOS 7 which is 'above its paygrade' or at least this is what an apple genius told me...
    He said he thought I would need to find an old version of iTunes containing the correct version of iOS. But he was not very confident about what he was telling me.
    Any help would be much appreciated...

    Hmmm
    I may be asking the wrong question here, let's back up a little.
    I have an iPad 1 running iOS 5.1.1
    Over the years it has become a little laggy and sluggish. I am about to replace it and wish to 'recycle' this old one onto my granddaughter.
    I want to completely wipe it, and get rid of all traces of the hundreds of app it's had on and deleted, in the hopes that it will clean up any residual crud that's choking it.
    Is a factory reset what I'm looking for?
    What I had in mind, is what I have done with my iPhone on a couple of occasions which was to completely start over with it and I was sure that that had taken the iOS version back to what it was when I took delivery of it. But I may be wrong...

    during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

    In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
    @TJBUSMC1973-
    I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
    Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
    I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

    I have a iPhone 5.  In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera.  I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail.   Both iTunes  and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it.  What is going on?

    Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

  • My iphone 4s is no longer detecting wifi since the ISO8 updates came out. I've restarted, rest the networks, reset the phone back to factory settings, and even tried the freezer trick. It is STILL not detecting ANY wifi networks. HELP!!!

    My iphone 4s is no longer detecting wifi since the IOS8 updates came out. I've restarted, rest the networks, reset the phone back to factory settings, and even tried the freezer trick. It is STILL not detecting ANY wifi networks. HELP!!! I cannot afford to go over my data and I use wifi at home and work... I believe the updates have caused the issue, because it was working fine before the second update released (I hadn't put the first one one until I noticed it had stopped working, and by then the second IOS8 version had came out). They need to do a third update to fix this issue.

    If it's grayed out:
    Reset Network Settings - if that doesn't fix it, then Backup and Restore AS A NEW DEVICE.
    If it's still grayed out, unfortunately that means your Wi-Fi antenna quit, and it needs service.
