HP Mini 110 trying to reset to factory settings
Hello There,
I am trying to restore my HP mini 110 to factory settings due to a really bad virus. I have tried holding down all the "F" buttons and nothing has worked. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can get it back to factory settings?
Hi:
If tapping the F11 key at the beginning of the HP welcome screen fails to launch the recovery manager program, then you will need to order a set of recovery disks from HP.
Please see the link below for more info on that.

Tried to reset to factory settings virus won't let me..what do i do?
somehow was hacked. I'm trying to reset my computer to factory to wipe hard drive yet it will not let me after i held option down during the restart button down.
To do what you want you must boot from your Snow Leopard installer DVD.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
(Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
Assistant. After you finish Setup Assistant will complete the installation after which
you will be running a fresh install of OS X. You can now begin the update process
by opening Software Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your
installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. -

It will only let me do the system restore in that tab and I don't know why. Can someone please help get me last this? Thanks in advance
Hi
From Windows and F11 partition the recovery option is not enabled is that correct.
Activate Recovery partition
Right-click on "Computer" icon and select manage.
2.This will launch the Microsoft Management Console.
3.On the left side of the MMC, click on "Disk Management" and it will show you all of the partitions.
4.Right-click on the "HP Recovery" partition and select "Mark as Active Partition."
5.When the warning prompt appears, select "Yes" - Reboot and it will automatically boot into the Recovery Manager (without pressing F11).
Let us know how it goes!

Hi all
My thinkpad suddenly not starting. During bootup, I tried to scan and fix sectors but after 3-4 hours, it said it can not be done (after finding like 400 errors). May be the hard drive is partially corrupted. I tried to reset to factory setting from within startup screen it went till 42% and hung for two days. When I restarted it can not now complete even factory reset.
Is there a way I can get factory os installation and settings from online lenovo website? Any help is appreciated.
By the way my laptop is out of warranty.
Thanks
Anil
Solved!
Go to Solution.Good day and welcome to the community.
Sorry you're having difficulty.
Your best bet would be to call Support (info below) to request recovery media, as it is not available as a download.
Hope this helps.

i tried to fix screen rotation on my ipad 2 after upgrading to ios 7. did the lock / unlock button, the on/off and even reset to factory settings... nothing works... do not know what to do... any suggestions?
When you reset to factory settings, did you restore as new or did you restore from a backup? If you restored from a backup, you could try restoring as new and don't use the backup. If you do that, you will lose all of your data, but you can download or sync all of your content back to the iPad.
You could also try resetting all settings before your restore as new. Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings. You will have to re enter all device settings again.
And of course the possibility does exist that the iPad has developed a hardware problem that is causing the rotation issue and only a visit to an Apple Store could determine that for sure. -

My boyfriend and I share an iTunes account. I just tried to update his phone and during the update an error message occurred saying that his phone had to be reset to factory settings. It said it was an un setup phone and needed plugged in to iTunes. With no other choice, we had to select reset to factory settings. Now, my phone backup through iCloud downloaded onto his and all of his contacts and photos were overridden by mine. His photos were in process of transferring from the phone to the pc while this occurred and over 900 of them were complete when this happened. They don't show up on the pc now either since the sycn wasn't finished. Is there a way to get them back? When we plug his phone in now it shows my name instead of his so I'm not sure how to get to an old version of his backups even.
Error -1 indicates a hardware issue with the device.
Read here > http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694
The device should still have warranty but unfortunately any service needs to be done in the US.

Is it possible for you to send the device home and have a family member take it to the Apple Store? -
i bought this 3 months ago didn't open it or anything I know big idiot but it was for my daughters bday today she opens it and stuck to the back of it was a yellow sticker saying display model.

Ok so we charge it she can't wait to download her little grs and play and nope it won't let me download any apps or games so I tried to sync it with her brothers and no it won't so I google it to find out how to reset to factory settings looked so easy should have known I go to settings then general and yep no reset option so I try the iTunes thing with the laptop nope didn't work I am ready to try the hammer you know where you continually beat the darn thing till you feel better ugh please any suggestions would be so appreciated
You should be able to force it into recovery mode and restore it. Provided, that is, that it's not also activation locked. If there's an iCloud account set up on it with Find my iPod enabled, you're pretty much hosed.
You may want to try contacting Amazon to see if you can return it. Was it actually sold by Amazon, or by a 3rd party? Amazon is getting to be as bad as eBay any more with all the 3rd party sellers.
Amazon is NOT an authorized source for any Apple products. What you got was, as you have already figured out, a demo model. It was probably either liquidated along with the rest of the inventory from a brick and mortar retailer that went bust or possibly even stolen. -
Long story short, I'm trying to progress from my first gen iPhone to my iPhone 4s. I sync my first gen as directed to create a backup, and then restore my 4s to the first gen backup. However, once this is done (and it does successfully transfer my first gen phone apps, photos, texts, calendar, etc-etc to my 4s), my 4s phone no longer has 4g data like it did prior to syncing - it doesn't recognize my data plan at all. The only way I can access the internet is through my wi-fi. So then I have to reset to factory settings and re-plus my personal settings into the 4s but then I lose everything from the first gen transfer. Any thoughts and/or recommendations/suggestions? Many thanks.

IPod Classic (7th Generation) won't reset to factory settings...
Hi, I have a Apple iPod classic 160 GB Black (7th Generation). I had tried to sync it to my MacBook Pro, which the iPod was set up with, will not show up in iTunes. I will get an error message "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored because it could not be found." Then I'll get another error message "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod " Chris' Classic 160 iPod." Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings." When I go to "About this iPod" it shows that there are no songs, movies, photos, podcasts or contacts. There are four games loaded on the iPod. But, it shows 41.5 GB used and 107 GB free.
This is what I have done up to this point:
Disconnect and reconnect your iPod to iTunes, and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again. Also, I've tried other USB cords.
Restart your computer and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again.
Try connecting your iPod to a different USB port, and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port is recommended. For Windows computers, refer to Identifying USB 2.0 ports on your computer for instructions.
Remove any USB devices not manufactured by Apple that you have connected to your computer (it is not necessary to remove your keyboard or mouse). Then, attempt to restore or update the iPod again.
Update to the latest version of iTunes, and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again.
How do I clear out that 41.5 GB from the iPod? What can I do to reset the factory settings on the iPod?Do the iPod disk diagnostic on your iPod, as in this excellent earlier post by tt2.
It wont fix your problem, but help us in troubleshooting.
then, Use Disk Utility->FirstAid->Repair ( may take 30 minutes )
Failing that Disk Utility -> Erase
This will reformat the iPod ( try using FAT32, instaed of HFS+) may take 4 hours. -

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
Cheers, Tom -
My phone reset to factory settings and isn't updating to ios 7 is that normal?
The biggest problem is that it unplugged while trying to update so I don't know if that is the problem or the server problem. Is it supposed to reset to factory settings also when updating to ios 7?
thanks ahead of timeHere are the official instructions for creating the recovery media.

IPhone 5 asks to reset to factory settings when I synchronize.
The iPhone "button" no longer appears i iTunes making it impossible to sync through wifi. When I then hook up my iPhone 5 to my Mac it says that it can't charge with the present hardware and asks to reset to factory settings. I thought that might solve the problem so I did it but it keeps having the problem. And then when it does synchronize it doesn't sync everything. Unhooking and trying again prompts the same problem and I have to start all over.
This problem came overnight. Any thoughts anyone?there would be ways but they would be slightly illegal. this is because your apple and icloud ID is what wirelessly stores your music apps etc.
otherwise everybody would do that and only one person would bave to buy apps and the whole world could get them.
the only option would be to record the songs being played on a camera and record them back to an iPod.
but for your own well-being and my own morale please don't do that!
