I've restored my desktop to factory settings and now it's stuck in a restarting loop. Help?
I restored my HP desktop to factory settings and it seemed like it worked, but it asked if I wanted to restart the computer so I clicked yes. Now it cycles through the restarting process and won't stop. I've tried unplugging it and plugging it back in, and a bunch of other things and nothing is working. What do I do?

Hello amandandye, Can you advise how you restored your system? Did you use the HP Recovery Restore Disk set or the F-11 method at the bootup of the system.
If you used the HP Recovery Restore Disk set, did you remove the last disk from the optical drive?

If you are in the U.S. or Canada and install iTunes 10.3, you can re download your iTunes purchases to your computer.

Yesterday I had to make a trip to the local Apple store as my iPad needed to be restored to factory settings. I came home trying to set up my iMessages and FaceTime but I can't reconnect it with my icloud email as I send a verification email each time and it never arrives. What should I do?
Yes, I am using the same ID on both devices. I also logged out of the iTunes application and back in but still get this same message. "The Apple ID you entered couldn't be found or your password was incorrect. Plese try again."
I have another subscription with Admin Magazine that appears to use the same interface and it was able to restore my purchases. -
I have been having problems connecting to the internet, so I tried restoring to an earlier date with no luck, so I have had to restore my PC back to factory setting. When I log on to my iTunes library it says I am already connect to another PC. I have lost all my music and photos. I have them on my ipad but I don't want to sync it with my new account as this will take all my information of my iPad. Anyone know how to get my origianl iTunes back.
I did back up my computer and then put everything back on ( or so I thought) but it did not work properly ( I don't know why) maybe I hit the wrong button, but know on my back up for iTunes it is the one I have on my computer now without all my music and photos. Guess I'll just have to start again, I did manage to work out how to get any purchases I got from iTunes. So it's just all my own music bit of a bummer really but still you live and learn, so I'm told.
Thanks for the help thought much appreciated. -
I had to restore my iPhone to factory settings and now I can't sync with iTunes.
I had to restore my phone and I was able to use the most recent backup. However, when I plug into iTunes, it keeps asking if I want to restore from a backup or start as a new iPhone. I have already restored from the backup twice, but the message won't go away. How can I sync with iTunes?
I used the solution posted here: https://discussions.apple.com/message/7838243#7838243
It's weird that you have to restore from backup, and then choose to start as a new phone. But I didn't lose ANYTHING when I did it that way! Thank goodness! -
I need help getting the App Store back on my Macbook!!!
You need to update or upgrade it to at least 10.6.6. If it's running 10.5.8 or earlier, this requires installing a Mac OS X 10.6 DVD.

I recieved an apple ipod touch 2nd generation as a gift and they have reset it to factory settings and now it is stuck on a screen with an adaptor showing with the itunes music symbol at the top of the screen.
Restore...
Connect via cable to the computer that you intend to use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore and you have IOS-6 or lower, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this. -
my iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this, I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first. Original problem is that I cannot connect to any wifi system anymore - have tried resetting network settings but did not work.
Try 1 step at a time and do a backup, if no joy then do the next step:
1. Switching off your anti-virus and firewall.
2. Computer iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences... > Devices > delete your backup -
i bought my iphone 4 about a year ago and just decided to upgrade it to ios5 just recently. My phone restored to to its factory settings and when I clicked continue restore from back up it is now asking a backup password which i dont remember setting up one. I am currently using a windows vista PC. How can I retrieve the password or restore all my old data into the new OS. I have been reading blogs about the same situation and is it true that it is one of apple's bugs?
It is NOT a bug. You provided a password. If you can't remember it, you can't restore your phone from backup. Very simple.

I have restored my phone to factory settings and took out my sim card
I have restored my phone to factory settings and took out my sim card how do I know it has erased everything? i am going to be giving it away so I want to be sure this is done right. When I turn on my phone it now asks what language and so Im pretty sure I did it right. Any thoughts??
Then they're gone for good, if they're not in your backup.
This is why is is STRONGLY recommended to use your phone as Apple intends: synch your contacts with a contact manager program on your computer or with a cloud service, and import your photos taken by the iPhone to your computer as soon as possible. -
