HT1600 "Restoring to factory condition failed." What do I do now?

I have an appletv first generation. It seems to be locked in the restart, run diagnostics and restore to factory condition setting. I have tried all three and none have worked. I believe I have all software updated. The appletv also does not show up in my itunes on my macbook pro. I have tried unplugging everything and restarting everything as well.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Is there a manual restoring that can be done?
Thanks for your time.

What to do if when trying to sync iPhone to computer you get the message "itunes cant read content of iphone. restore to factory condition"?

what to do if when trying to sync iphone to computer the message appears "itunes cant read content of iphone. restore to factory condition"?

If you're receiving that message, you data are already gone. If you've been using iCloud and backing up your phone as recommended, you should have no data loss. If you have not, well, hard lesson learned. Good luck.

Odd Partitions after Restore to Factory Condition, Why?

HP Compaq Presario CQ57, Windows 7 Home Premium SP-1 64 bit
A month ago I bought an HP Compaq Presario CQ57 notebook (laptop), which comes installed with 2 x 1GB RAM modules. It functioned fine. A couple of weeks ago, I upgraded the RAM by replacing one of the 1GB modules with a 4GB one.
When I restarted Windows, yes, it did blue screen momentarily, but recovered with another start and then things went well for a week.
Then, upon attempting to reboot, it failed. On the Windows Welcome screen, it flickers briefly before it fails and goes to a blue screen.
Using the HP Recovery Console, after trying a recovery that didn’t work, I tried the option of restoring to factory condition. Then, it still produced blue screens, giving error messages like IRQL less than equal and Page fault in non-page area.
I replaced the new RAM with the original 2 x 1GB RAM and tried a restore to factory condition option again. This time it worked. However, the hard drive partitions are odd.

As you can see, Disk 0 is divided into
System 199 MB, C 75GB, not labled 133.34 GB, Recovery D 19.38, HP TOOLS E 3.97 GB.
Ignore the CD ROM below.
Isn’t System supposed to be on C? And the 133.34 GB unallocated space isn’t supposed to be there either.
I ran the restore to factory again and it produced the same disk partitioning. I consulted HP customer service, and they sent me a Windows disk and wants me to try restoring from that rather than from the Recovery provided on the hard drive. I haven’t done this yet, but is there an explanation? And actually, can’t I simply expand the C partition to the unallocated space to the right?

In Disk Manager (see the pic above), the C partition has "boot" in parentheses after "Healthy". Customer Service claims it's tools from Microsoft, but I'm not satisfied that's correct. And it's only 199 MB.
So to be clear on my question, What is the rightmost partition, the one labeled "System" in the above pic? It appears the OS and boot are on C.
And how should Disk Manager look on a normal, successful restore?

Your Apple TV could not be restored to factory conditions. Try again or...

My Apple TV is actin' the fool:
Your Apple TV could not be restored to factory conditions. Try again or go to www.apple.com/support for help.
I found one archived topic about this that was unsolved.
Anyone?

I kind of figured it might be that the hard drive partition with the restore image is inaccessible. It is pretty silly that running the built-in diagnostics show the thing is working fine and has no problem.

The first time an iPhone is connected to iTunes that is used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device or to set up the iPhone as a new iPhone.
The former does as provided - it transfers the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the iPhone replacing all data on the iPhone that is included with the backup being transferred. The latter does nothing allowing you to make your various selections for the iPhone sync preferences with iTunes.
This is designed to be done right away with a new iPhone.
If you don't have a backup for the iPhone with iTunes on your computer and don't have an iCloud backup that hasn't been updated since choosing to transfer the backup for your iPod Touch to the iPhone, the data that was on the iPhone is gone.

Hello all:
Guess what? It was a font conflict all along. I removed a folder of free fonts I downloaded days earlier. Problem solved. No need to wipe out the system and reinstall!

Restoring To Factory Condition Using Similar Model

Hi
My eny 17 3010en was vandalised by some douche and I lost my original internal hard disk.
A friend of mine has an envy 17 3xxx, I'm not sure which on exactly, but I want to create back up disks from his device to use on mine. Is this advisable???
P.S. My reason for doing this is to restore my keyboard backlight capability which just stopped somehow and NO ONE in HP seems to know how to fix this problem.
So what's the point of designing a backlight feature that nobody in HP is willing to help fix??? I don't mean to bad mouth, but that's some lousy service right there. I now have to result to my own means to fix the one feature I love most on this device.
"Thanks HP"

Hi @Chabbzz ,
Thank you for your query, I will do my best to assist you!
I regret that someone vandalized your notebook and took the hard drive. I also regret that HP support has not been able to help you overcome this issue.
I am not sure if that will work or not. I would definitely give is a try. I would check to see if you notice any hardware differences.( example the network card or graphic cards. If so his system would require different drivers then you do on yours.
Please be sure your friend is aware that he will only be allowed to created 1 set of recovery disks. Creating Recovery Discs or Saving a Recovery Image to a USB Flash Drive (Windows 7)
You could try just installing the original drivers for the keyboard.Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)
You may wish to consider Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive for your exact system. This would allow you to restore your system back to factory condition.
I hope this helps.

Rescue and Recovery "restore to factory settings" fails

I have had need to recover my T61 to the state of original receipt. I boot from the recovery startup disc and select that I wish to recover to factory settings, and that I wish to save no files. After a progress bar fills, I am prompted to insert Product Recovery Disc 1. After it has completed, I am prompted for Disc 2, then Disc 3, etc., until the Disc 8. After the last disc progress bar is filled, I am presented with the message "Product Recovery failed to restore your system." The T61 then boots to the Rescue and Recovery menu. I have attempted this once again and have the same result. Please help if you can!

Trying to do a restore to factory settings, ive tried holding down '0' on bootup but i get nothing it just goes starts up.
I want to totally reset to factory settings, but unable to do it?
You said that Win 8 system run on this notebook.
As far as I know this notebook Satellite L750D-14R was preinstalled with Win 7 64bit OS.
This means that HDD recovery procedure will not work because the HDD content and the partitions has been modified!
To recover the notebook back to factory settings you would need the Toshiba Recovery disk/medium. If you did not create such disk then you could order this here:
http://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/
Anyway, I guess that the LAN connection doesn’t work due to LAN driver issue.
I recommend you to uninstall the LAN driver (in device manager) and to download the latest available LAN driver from Toshiba EU driver page.
After LAN driver installation reboot the notebook.

Full restore from Time Machine fails what now!

Just upgraded to 10.8 and all was fine except on crucial pice of software that was supposed to work in 10.8 but didn't.
I tried to revert back to 10.6 via full restore but it failed. Now I just tried to restore from TM backup of the 10.8 restore point.
It fails too. All my HDs check out fine. What went wrong and how can I get back to working?

It's possible that as the HD was failing, it corrupted something in your installation of OSX, and that was backed-up, so when you restore it, you're restoring damaged items.
Try again, but pick an earlier backup, from before the problems started.
When you do, once it starts, select Window, then +Show Log+ and +Show All logs+ from the menubar. Watch the messages; if it fails again, note what it says. That will tell us, roughly, where it was, so we may be able to avoid it.
Currently I have 10.5.0 installed. I have to install 10.4, then upgrade, which is a very lengthy process.
Huh? Why would you install Tiger?
How should I proceed? Is there a way of repairing the backup?
Possibly, depending on what's wrong.
Instead of selecting +Restore System from Backup+ from the Utilities menu, select +Disk Utility+ and use it to do a +*Repair Disk+* on the backups (via your Leopard Install disc). Then quit DU and try +Restore System from Backups.+
I have no way of using the Migration feature since I only have the one Mac.
Yes, you do, if the backups are ok. You can use +Setup Assistant+ or +Migration Assistant+ from your backups (or a clone), not just another Mac. But they both only use the most recent backup, which may be damaged, so try the full restore first.

I think my hard drive has failed, what do I do now?

My imac G5 failed to start properly today, just getting grey screen. I tried all the things suggested in the postings and managed to get it to the stage where I could reinstall via Time Machine etc but there was no disc to find on the imac to install the data too. Has my hard drive died? what do I do now?

Normally if there is no bootable volume you'll get a flashing '?'. It doesn't sound like you are getting that far. I suggest following the steps in this article to rule out some other common causes of gray screen.
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
If you still have your Install discs that came with your iMac you can boot from them, then run the Disk Utility application by pulling down the Utilities menu once you select the language. The Disk Utility application will tell you whether your hard drive is visible to the system, and then you can verify whether it is functional.

My phone wont connect to my itunes after i tried to restore it and it failed. what should i do?

Ive been up all night trying to fix my phone. i recently tried to restore my phone so i could start it out fresh. i left for a minute while it was restoring and came back to have a message on my laptop saying it failed to restore. My iphone now wont connect to itunes nor my computer since it doesn't show up under "computer". i have already reinstalled itunes, shut off my phone and laptop, and manually tried to reset phone by holding home button and lock screen button. i really need some assitance quick, and their support guides confuse me and misleads me a lot. Help greatly appreciate

Try this:
1. Close iTunes.
2. Connect your iPhone to your computer and then launch iTunes.
3. Turn your iPhone off (hold down the power button at the top of the iPhone).
4. Then, hold down the sleep/wake button and home button together for EXACTLY 10 SECONDS, then release the sleep/wake button.
5. Continue to hold down the Home button until a message appears in iTunes telling you an iPhone in recover mode has been detected. When you are in DFU mode your iPhone screen will be completely black. Remember that if you see the restore logo, iTunes logo, or any message on the iPhone screen, you are not in DFU mode but standard Recovery Mode.
6. Hit the OK message that should popup to restore your phone. Restore as "New".
