  • HT4528 how do i restore factory settings?

    How do i restore factory settings?  when i hit reset all, it asks for my password, then says verification failed - the request timed out.  It's the right password, so i don't know why it's saying that.  Also says that when I try to turn off "Find My Phone"
    Very frustrating

  • How do I restore the settings for apps using Time Machine?

    I believe there are problems with items within the Library Folder inside the System Folder.  For example, there are two "Frameworks" Folders, but one has "(from old Mac)" after its name.  I dare not try to remove or even move either.
    Back in the day of OS 9, you could modify something, then search for it by "Last Modified" Date, and find where Apple has hidden itscontents.  It's not so easy in OS X.  I've had some success using Pondini's Time Machine FAQ's, though.  Here is how I got to this problem:
    Our family MacBook died.  After getting a repair estimate of $500 to $700 "if it's the Logic Board," we decided to replace it.  We purchased a MacBook Pro running Lion.  (Later, we brought it to an Apple Store and were quoted $435 in house or $280, but they would have to send it out.  Incredible repair: Logic Board, Top & Bottom Case, Super Drive, Battery, all for $280.  No wonder they're #1).  I pulled the Hard Dive out, erased it, and installed an older operating system, but during the repair they installed 10.6.
    Restored the MBP from the TM backup of the MacBook. OK
    The Macbook is repaired and the store showed me how to restore the data from the TM backup.
    Restart and the passwords do not work due to restoring a 10.6 machine from a 10.7 backup.
    Tech support guides me through resetting an admin password using the password utility on the install DVD.
    changed the other passwords inside of Accounts in System Preferences.  Then changed the password or the other Admin.
    Restart, get a circle with a line through it.
    Tech support guides me through fixing this.
    Restart, half my Apps do not work.
    Tech support says to re-install 10.6.
    I did but I thought it would erase and install but it just re-installed 10.6.
    Most Apps work, except iPhoto.  Mail is OK sending but only receives on one of 3 accounts.
    Is there a fix for iPhoto & Mail?  If not, I would plan to erase and use the finder to drag the user folders from TM to the MacBook.  Can I just drag the Apps too?  How about all of the settings for those Apps?

    If you don't keep a backup, you can't restore your machine to any state except the state in which you received it, brand new, with none of your own stuff on it. That makes a pretty convincing argument for backing up, doesn't it?

  • Is there ANY way possible to MANUALLY restore factory settings for an ipod classic, FROM the device ITSELF (as opposed to restoring from iTunes or forcing a reformat elsewhere)?

    I have 3 iPods:  1 Touch and 2 Classics.  The Touch and 1 of the Classics are both working fine; the other Classic is not showing up in iTunes, My Computer, or in Device Manager.  While I CAN do a simple reset, it accomplishes nothing, and I am UNABLE to get the faulty Classic into "disk mode".
    Based on what I've encountered thus far, I have a suspicion that my faulty Classic somehow thinks it's formatted for the Mac, as I DO see the serial # and I do NOT see "Windows Format" in the About screen on the ipod itself.  Is that even POSSIBLE?  I have never used a Mac, but that's what the documentation I've read on this Support Site have lead me to believe.
    The faulty Classic will charge ONLY in a wall charger; it clearly wants nothing to do with my laptop as it refuses to stand up and be recognized in iTunes or in My Computer....why??!!??    I DID try all of the other obvious troubleshooting items; I tried different USB ports, different cords, different laptops, and even different ipods.....BUT....all is well with everything else BUT for this pain-in-the-@$$ ipod.
    IDEALLY.....since my ipod refuses to make itself available for me to "restore factory settings" via iTunes, the way it SHOULD be handled....., I'm wondering if there are any hackers out here that know of a way to FORCE a MANUAL restoration of factory settings of the ipod, via super-secret "key strokes" on the ipod itself (and not via the iTunes software that is curently useless for this particular ipod)....?
    Thanks in advance to anyone who can help!  Without your assistance, my Classic ipod remains an expensive door stop and/or paper weight.  It's behavior at this point is nothing shy of rude and inconvenient!

    There is no way to restore/reformat the device without connecting it to a PC or Mac.
    Have you checked the iPod's dock connector for signs of bent/damaged/corroded pins that could prevent a full connection with your PC?  If there is any lodged debris, take a can of compressed air to it to blow it all out.

  • How do I restore factory settings on my MacBook Air?

    I have sold my MacBook Air (bought in August 2011) and I need to restore factory settings.  Can someone please help?

    As quoted from apple member Kappy
    Boot from the Recovery HD by restarting the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and "R" keys until the computer starts from the Recovery HD. Select Disk Utility from the main menu and click on the Continue button.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
    5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
    6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
    At this point all your data are securely removed. You can shut down the computer or reinstall Lion from the main menu.

  • HT1339 I have an iPod Classic.  No menu appear any more.  How do I restore factory settings.  I wanted to sincronize my iPod and then everything was deleted

    I have an iPod Classic.  No menu appear any more.  Ican i Restore my iPod's factory settings?

    Well the iPod is supposed to be synced from YOUR iTunes music library, if you used other means to put music on there then the iPod is going to sync to only what's on your itunes music library when you connect it.
    You need to put the files into itunes.
    Far as your other issues, sounds like the drive is dying.

    It will work definitly. But turn off the phone first and make sure you push all three buttons tight and turn on the phone. You have to keep them pressed until handshaking logo or pin enter is appear. I have use it so many time since my beloved 6600.

  • Restore Factory Settings For N95

    i have tried to restore the factory settings on my N95, but it keeps asking for a lock code which i do not kno, i have tried the usual '0000' but that doesn`t work. can anyone help, this is all because my text messaging sending doesn`t work, if you have any other ideas to help with that instaed of formatting the phone, it would be much appreciated, thankyou.

    Hi Richcowell,
    I see you have upgraded your N95 to V30.0.0.15.
    I just upgraded my N95 original to the same version, and it's totally screwed my phone, which is not a problem but I am having a great deal of difficulty resetting it, because it keeps insisting I enter a lock code.
    Just a little history. After I upgraded from v21 to v30, my N95 was having trouble loading. I think I had some dodgy application on my Memory card, and it was trying to install it. So I removed the memory card, but this made no difference. After a few switch offs and ons, I got the following message: "phone start-up failed. contact the retailer" :-)
    It took me ages to get back into the phone. I think I took the battery out, and swapped my sim card with my work sim card.
    Now that I am back in, the phone is extremely slow. I placed the memory card back into the phone, and instantly it tried loading dodgy software. So I aborted this, and went and formatted the memory card.
    Now the problem is the front screen, when the phone is turned on, is blank. All I see is the two menu buttons at the bottom, No Time, No service provider, no shortcut icons (even though I have them switched on in Settings). I just want to hard reset the phone, but can't because of the lock code. I have no idea what this code is, nor have I ever set it. I've tried 00000, 0000, 1234, 12345 etc. Nothing seems to work. I also get another error, something to the extent of phone lock code locked for 5 minutes, until it's reset, although have waited 30 minutes and the same problem exists.
    Any ideas how I can do this? Can I roll back a version?
    Regards,
    Mike
    I have no idea what this is, and nothing seems to work. Is there a way I can get around this?

  • HT201263 How do i restore factory settings to my ipod without an itunes account?

    I know about turning the power off and then holding the home button until the "Connect to iTunes" screen pops up.....but what if I no longer have the computer or itunes account used to set the ipod up with?

    Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and connect to a computer and restore via iTunes. Yoo will need an iTunes account. You can create a new one if you want.

    My IPad 2 is frozen with the image of Itunes and a USB cable.  The iPad is not recognised when I plug it into my laptop and pressing the home key and power key does not work.Any help would be appreciated.

    It's Not frozen. You need to set it up. The screen is trying to tell you to connect the iPad to iTunes on your computer. Make sure you download and install the latest version of iTunes first. Read the manual, too.
