hi sir..thanku for ur reply...
i just bought this laptop from kathmnadu nepal in 86,000 rupee one week back..that is around 1000 dollar and at present i am in a distant place from kathmandu because of my working station (so i am unable to make complain to the shop owner where i bought and going to kathmnadu to make my complaint will cost me around 250 dollars, so i thought better i will get solution in this forum)
i want to do factory reset for 3 reasons.
1. everytime i switch on my laptop ,my wireless doesnt work so everytime i go to CONTROL PANEL ,....administrative tools..services.....wlan autoconfig....AND restart wireless service and then my wireless comesback n i get connected to internet.
2 my startup time ranges from 20 min to 1 hour (i have 8 gb ram) ..at first i thoguht 2 ram were not compatible so i took out my one 4 gb ram ...but still same problem.....though its not always..i mean sometimes ,window gets launched in 10 sec and sometimes minutessssss...and most of time i have to open in safe mode and go back to LAST KNOWN GOOD CONFIG..
3. my touch pad not working ,its freezed....(it works sometimes but not always)..so i m using usb connected mouse right now....
with having all these problems ,i thought of formatting and reinstalling win 8.
i bought win 8 but the installation got freezed in the first step..it only shows fish logo and nothing happened even though i waited for an hour.
then i thought i will install win 7 . using poweriso i created a bootable usb win 7 .
but while trying to install win 7 ..it says no drivers...select drivers.......where the hell i am going to search my drivers now????????????
i m frustrated

Factory reset my satellite laptop

hey, i would like to factory reset my satellite x200/x205 series. it's an old computer with alot of stuff on it. i would just like to in a way start fresh with a "new" computer. i have backed up and transferred all my important files and documents already and my computer is ready for a reset. am i doing this right? if i factory reset my comp will it mess up any drivers or anything else on my comp? if so how can i fixit or update any possible drivers afte the reset? i have the toshiba recovery and applications/drivers that came with the computer for windows vista home premium 32 bit disk one and two. if i put those in and follow the prompts is this all i need for a factory reset? i also have the upgrade your windows vista experience disk that came with the computer also.

When I had so much trouble installing Windows 7 from the purchased cd, I had to do an "out of box recovery" for my laptop . Make a back up disc of everything you want to keep. I only did Windows Photo Gallery, there was nothing else of importance to backup. Then insert the Toshiba Recovery Disc that came with your computer at the time of purchase, and follow all the directions. If you do not have the Recovery Disc, call 1-800-457-7777, they can send you one, for a very small charge (?? $20.00 or so ??) Make sure you have your Internet Security and Anti-virus disc ready to install. Personally, there were less problems with the install than the download. TIP TIP TIP I use my favorites box all the time, so I wrote down every site I had listed there...that way when the out of box recovery was complete, all I had to do was go to my list (abc order) and open each page or site, then hit add to favorites. That saved me so much time !!! I also write down the passwords for each site, just so I don't have to remember them,and when you're working and trying to think...well senior moment takes on a life of it's own !!! Hope I helped

I need to reset my apple tv due it not working following system update. I cannot reset onscreen, so need to factory reset via iTunes. However, upon plugging into iTunes with the micro usb cable, iTunes is not picking it up. Any ideas pleas??

All that happens is the light on the front of the apple tv flashes rapidly. Itunes is not recognising the apple tv being plugged in, so I cannot attempt the factory reset. Help!

Welcome to the Apple community.
Have you made sure that you have removed all the cables other than the USB cable when connecting with Apple TV to iTunes. Also make sure that you have connected the Apple TV to a powered USB port.

Factory reset on broken laptop issue

My laptop has a broken screen and it's impossible to see without an external monitor. So I had to reset my computer to factory settings and when the first time set up came on, I couldn't see the fields because of my monitor not turning on. I entered random stuff and pressed tab space a lot to get through it. Now it's asking me for a username and password to get in and i'm not sure what I entered. What can I do?

CQ56-102SA need to factory reset but recovery manager wont install

I am trying to fix my sisters laptop
It was running slow and a friend of theirs said they could fix it, all they did was wipe system and install windows 7 ultimate. The windows hasnt got a serial so will run out in 9 days
The recovery partion is still present.
I have downloaded most of the HP software from the site which all installed ok.
I want the HP recovery manager (I think).
Ive downloaded it but when I try to start the .exe I get an error saying DZIP32.dll is missing from computer.
Has anyone got any ideas.
Dont want to buy installation discs as they are £39 and I have the correct partion just need to be able to utilise it.
Laptop is a Compaq CQ56-102SA
Thank you

NEED 2 Factory Reset

PLZ HELP?!This laptop is my son's WORK PC for Medical Transcription!!He got infected by the CRYPTO-LOCKER (CTB-Locker RansomeWare) Trojan!!We were NOT about to PAY the EXTORTIONISTS!! Thank goodness, my son had all his files & cases BACKED-UP BEFORE this struck, so HE should be fine.I spent DAYS trying to find a solution online, MOST advised to wipe the hard disk...which is what i wound up doing, BUT, when i did THAT, i lost the Factory Restore Manager! At first, F11 wouldn't even work AT ALL - now today, I got it to work for the FIRST TIME in 2 weeks!! I THOUGHT I was in the home stretch, bcuz the Factory Restore image is STILL in the hidden partition on the HDD, I saw it when i FORMATTED the primary partiton, & re-installed Win 7 Pro 64-bit...so, it IS there, but after the F11 breakthru, when it wanted to search for the IMAGE...it could NOT FIND IT?!THEN, it gave me the option to FIND the IMAGE on a SERVER? Can I try THAT, or not?I'm sure the warranty is over by now. PLEASE advise me what I can do, SOON?Thank u ALL so much,Susan

HT1420 it says I have authorized 5 computers on my account, but I haven't. I factory reset my same laptop several times and authorized a desktop PC I have (which I am not near right now).

How can I remotely disauthorize the bogus machines but keep the desktop?

You first must Deauthorize All. Then reauthorize the computers you want. The Deauthorize All option can be found by selecting Account under Quick Links in iTunes Store.

How do you factory reset a Satellite M50 -159

Hi,
I need to factory reset the above laptop. I've looked through the forum and seen a post saying to press 0 to access this option but this doesn't work. The laptop did not come with any CDs as the factory software is on a hidden partition on the hard disk.
Any other suggestions as to how to access the factory reset options?
Thanks in advance
Michael

According to the User's Manual for your Satellite M50, it came with a "Product Recovery Disk."
Maybe I looked up the wrong computer?

IPod not recognized, therefore I can't factory reset...Need some serious help.

I received an iPod that used to belong to someone who used it on a Mac. I can tell this because under "About" it lists the serial number, which indicates it was used on a Mac and not Windows. Because of that, it can't sync with a windows computer. I need to factory reset it so it will be optimized for a Windows computer. However, when I connect it, neither the computer or itunes recognizes it. It doesn't recognize it in disk mode either. I get the message "USB Device Not Recognized". I searched for newer drivers and it says that my "Unknown Device" has the most up to date drivers. I've also reset the ipod, and uninstalled & reinstalled itunes. The ipod will charge with the usb cord connected to the wall, but not while connected to the computer with that same cord. By the way, the ipod works fine, it has music already on it and will play the music just fine.
I've followed the 5 "R" steps to try and fix my ipod, ending at the last step which is restore. I can't restore my ipod, because I can't get it to connect to itunes.
Please help me!

Hello cierra.estelle,
Thank you for the details of the issue you are experiencing with your new iPod nano. You have taken some really good steps to troubleshoot this issue. I found an article with a few additional steps you can take when your iPod is not recognized by iTunes or your computer.
I recommend continuing with the following article (you can skip the steps you have already taken). Additionally, if you get to the step to uninstall iTunes, it is important to remove all the listed components in that step:

HT1296 How can I save my stuff on my ipad before factory resetting it?

Apple said that I need to factory reset my ipad but how can I save my stuff because I payed for like 5 apps and and 29 songs. I don't want to delete them if I don't have to. Thanks

Do you use iTunes to sync your iPad with a computer ?
If so, do a sync before you reset your iPad and everything will be saved ready for the reset iPad.
If not, anything you paid for using the App Store will still be available to you. The App Store knows you paid for them and will just put them on your iPad again.
