How to restore iPad to factory settings with iTunes 11

I have updated iTunes and I need too reset my iPad. I cannot find the reset

If you are more comfortable with the iTunes 10 UI, go to View > Show Sidebar. Then you can restore the same way you did previously, by selecting your iPad from the sidebar.

Is there any way to restore it to factory settings with out the disk?

I got a macbook off of a friend with all the proper disks, did the installation and set up and did all the updates. Now after having restarted the computer with the new updates I'm trying to install iworks(it always asks for the admin. name and password), but it keeps saying that I have the incorrect administrator name or password yet I can log on and off just fine. Is there any way I can fix this or reset it to the factory settings with out having to use the disk?

OK, then you can try this instead:
I lost my admin user (OS X 10.5)
If you are unfortunate enough to delete your only admin user, or remove his admin capability, then as long as you have another user with login capability, you can give that user admin rights as shown below. Print this post out in a mono-spaced font, and type carefully, paying attention to spaces and punctuation, since you cannot copy/paste in Single User mode. Caution: in single user mode you have root privileges. Be careful!
Substitute the name of 'youruser' below.
Boot into single-user mode which will eventually get you to a shell prompt (ending in #). Then type the following (Press RETURN after each command):
/sbin/fsck -fy
Repeat the above until it says your disk is OK. Then continue with
/sbin/mount -uw /
/usr/bin/dscl . -merge /groups/admin users youruser
If you get a message saying "invalid path", then type these two commands first:
/usr/bin/dscl . -create /groups/admin gid 80
/usr/bin/dscl . -create /groups/admin passwd '*'
and then repeat the "dscl ... -merge" command.
Then:
reboot
You will now be able to login as 'youruser' and have administrative privileges. Membership of the 'admin' group is the only thing that distinguishes administrative users from ordinary users.

When migrating from PC to Mac is it necessary to restore iPad to factory settings?

Hi everyone!
I recently decided to migrate from PC to Mac. Everything is amazingly easy now. I have already migrated my iTunes Library with no hassle and I am very pleased with my decision. I had no problem either with my iPhone nor my iPod but with my iPad, thats a different story.
I just have one unsolved problem relative to the backup that iTunes performs each time I sync it with my Mac. It takes hours and somewhere near the end iTunes tells me it was not possible to backup. So if I want to sync I must skip the backup process but I know that's too risky. I can't even upgrade the iOS on my iPad because of the backup issue.
I have read in some other forums that maybe this is because when I bought my iPad it was formatted to sync with PC and restoring factory settings would solve the problem.
Is there any other way to solve this? Because I have a lot of information that comes from inApp dowloads and I would like to skip long hours of re-downloading my content.
Thanks!

There is no Windoze and OS X formatting with an iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad.
The problem is with your existing backup.
At the iTunes menu bar go to iTunes > Preferences.
Under the Devices tab select and delete the existing iPad backup.
Control-click on your iPad under Devices in the iTunes source list and at the menu window that appears, select Back Up to create a new backup.

Syncing downloaded movies from itunes to ipad which then suddenly stops and will not finish the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. restored the ipad to factory settings, reinstalled itune

I have had to format my PC running windows 7, and reset my ipad 1 to factory settings, i then installed latest itunes on the PC authorised the PC and re downloaded several movies via itunes previous purchases, all was well until i tried to sync the ipad to the PC, only some of the movies synced onto the ipad, otheres stalled the sync stating itunes could not copy "name of movie" to the ipad because the file could not be written. I have to pull the plug on the ipad just to get itunes to unfreeze, but it still will not sync these movies. and one help

Hi
I was having the same issue with music and movies but it had been ok before. The sync would freeze on a random file and then i had to take out the USB cable to clear it. After trying all sorts of things i saw someone mentioning about Anti virus and firewalls. I am using McAfee so i disabled it as a test. After this i could sync music and movies without issue!!!!! So in my case the firewall/anti virus was causing a problem. McAfee updates itself a lot so I am guessing something has happened in a recent update that impacted iTunes.I am not sure if this kind of thing is also causing your problem but it sounds very familiar.
Hope this helps.

Satellite A200-17O - How to restore Windows to factory settings?

Hi
I have a Satellite A200-17O. I want to restore Windows Vista to factory settings, I do not need to back up any files. I do not have the Product Recovery CD. When I press F8 and click the "Repair Computer" option, it will give me all the options, but when I click the option to fully recover the system (the one on the bottom), it will simply open up a window telling me to back up my data, then theres an "OK" button, and when I click that, the window will simply close and go back to the options menu. All I want is to get Vista back to Factory settings.
Thank you for your help.

Hello
Yes, normally you can restore your notebook back to factory settings using the HDD recovery option. Therefore you should follow the instructions here:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
If it doesnt work you have to use the Toshiba recovery disk. If your notebook didnt come with such a recovery disk you have to create it yourself using preinstalled recovery creator tool. This is mentioned in your user manual, have you checked it?
Therefore you need some blank DVDs. I would recommend DVD-R from Verbatim or TDK. Many users here have good experience with these brands.
If you have more questions, just post again! ;)

Had to restore cpu to factory settings and itunes library was lost. help!

I had to restore my cpu running, windows xp, to the factory settings and my entire itunes library was lost. I uploaded these songs from cd's I owned and then sold these cd's. the version of itunes on my cpu is about five years old, the ipod software needs to be reloaded and the ipod software version is on 7 something. I am worried that if I load the ipod software and download the latest version of itunes that the library will sync the ipod to its content, which is nothing, and I will lose all my prized music. Please advise how I can transfer my music from my ipod to my itunes library under the stated conditions. Thank you for your help

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you use our iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. There are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content only from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay:
Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

HT201210 how to restore iphone4 to factory settings

how do i restore iphone4 factory settings

Read the User's Guide, it covers basic functionality such as restoring.

I have restored my IPad to factory settings however cannot now get in as password is incorrect

I have restored IPad to factory settings however can not get now as password is not working. I have tried the initial password and also using 0000.

The following pertains to an upgrade to iOS 7, but it does say something about the "Skip" link:
After installing iOS 7 you may be asked to provide a passcode; if you haven't ever defined one...
If you don't see the word "skip" in small blue letters try the following. Otherwise tap "skip".
Enter any number and remember what it is. See if this lets you in. If so, go to Settings>General>passcode lock. enter the number and then you can turn off passcode (a vary bad idea, as many have discovered when their devices were stolem) or turn off and then on using a different number.
If your device is disabled at this point...
Connect to your computer in recovery mode per the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
You may need to do this more than once.

I just got my dads old iPhone 4. I restored it to factory settings and set it up with my apple id. The albums in my music are fine in iTunes but on my phone the albums are split and each song is its own album. Does anybody know how to fix this?

My dad has recently gotten a new phone and I got his old one. With his permission I restored it to factory settings and set up the iPhone 4 as a new phone with my apple id. Everything has downloaded fine but I have had many problems with my music. First it was where my phone didnt recognise my apple id, but I figured that out. Then it was where iTunes took one of my albums and split it so all the songs where their own albums. I fixed the album split on iTunes but its still like that on my iPhone. I have looked online everywhere and I still haven't found a solution! I'm getting super frustrated! Does anybody know how to fix this?

No it's not stealing. They have an allowance that you can share with so many computers/devices. You'll have to authorize her computer to play/use anything bought on your acct. You can do this under the Store menu at top when iTunes is open on her computer.
As far as getting it all on her computer....I think but I am not sure (because I don't use the feature) but I think if you turn on Home Sharing in iTunes it may copy the music to her computer. I don't know maybe it just streams it. If nothing else you can sign into your acct on her computer and download it all to her computer from the cloud. Not sure exactly how to go about that, I haven't had to do that yet. I wonder if once you authorize her computer and then set it up for automatic downloads (under Edit>Preferences>Store) if everything would download. Sorry I'm not much help on that.
