Ipod sync after a factory reset on a mac.

I have an ipod with 8,000 odd songs on it and my laptop was factory reset by Apple, so trying to sync my ipod back to the same laptop will not allow it as it is said it is synced with another library. Is there a way I can make it remember that the two libraries are the same?

- Try using the Search function to find it
- Go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Screen Layout
- Is it hidden by Restrictions>Settings>General>Restrictions?
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device again
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hp officejet/deskjet 4625 fax function disabled after a factory reset.

Officejet/Deskjet 4625 Fax function disabled after a factory reset.

- Fax function disabled after a factory reset, fax function disabled on fax machine.
Good day HP community! I have a problem on my Hp officejet/deskjet 4625 after i did a factory reset. Oh by the way my printer is on a wireless connection setup and its ip address kept on changing and became very annoying so i decided to do the factory reset. After the factory reset i visited a "teach me to how to re-setup the wireless connection for Hp officejet/deskjet 4625" i downloaded the file needed on the installation and followed the steps but I failed. Here is the LINK.
My installation failed during the "connect the usb cable from the printer to the computer" sequence. I plugged the usb cable waited patiently but after a long 30 minutes wait nothing happened. The full feature installer of the Hp officejet/deskjet 4625(OJ4620**) didnt work for me. Luckily i have a friend that had a basic installer of the Hp officejet/deskjet 4620(DJ4620**) sent me via e-mail. I wonder what is the difference between OJ4620 and DJ4620 installers were, but thanks to my friend the DJ4620 worked. I finished the installation and the wireless connection setup was successfull!
Now i can print via usb cable connection, network ssid connection & tru apple products. I just have one problem. My printer's fax function was disabled. I believe that the OJ4620 had an issue on win7 64bit OS, i also believe that the DJ4620 isnt capable on installing the fax function because it was only a basic installer.
I tried to search in the internet but to no avail, I cannot find a HP 4620 fax installer either an officejet installer nor a deskjet installer.
My machines:
Desktop - 64bit
Netbook - 64bit
Macbook Pro
Macbook Air
Hp officejet/deskjet 4625
I badly need help on the fax functions because my small office need it everyday. I hope someone can help me here. Thanks in advance!

Hello theEGG.
Thank you for your detailed response. I understand after installing printer you are unable to use your Fax features. Any HP printer full feature software package already comes with the fax features.
Please uninstall your software. I am going to provide a HP document to help you: Uninstall The Software. After this progress is done please move onto the next step: (This is only for your Windows computers)
How to clean Temp Folder. In this document there is two ways to clean out the Temp folder. Please choose which option you are conformable with.
To install the software, please use the:Printer Install Wizard. Make sure you leave the USB cord out of the computer until it props you to insert the USB cord.
If you have any other questions please let me know.

After I factory reset my Iphone 4s, I can't finish the step where it ask for WIFI Network, I guess it don't detect WIFI and can't connect to iTunes also. What should I do?

I can't finish the step after I factory reset my iphone 4s because I can't get thru with the CHOOSE YOUR WIFI NETWORK

If you can't see your WiFi then is your router broadcasting the SSID or do you not get to that point?

HT3728 When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if I redo the factory reset.

The Time Capsule is not providing a wireless connection.
When I reconnect my Time Capsule after a factory reset, the Airport Utility shows ther message"Unexpected error. Try again." I also get this if I cancel the Airport Utility app and restart it. I performed the factory reset again, restarted the Airport Utility and received the same error. What are the steps to debug and fix the wireless problem?
My Time Capsule is connected to my FIOS router and to my Mac Mini. I am still able to connect to the Internet from the Mini via ethernet. It seems that the Time Capsule acts as a bridge for the ethernet connections between Internet to FIOS, FIOS to Time Capsule, and Time Capsule to Mac Mini.

Which model TC is this? The A1xxx number from the base please.
Try the setup in full isolation from the network.. so unplug the TC from the network.. and turn off wireless in the mini.. so you have mini--ethernet--lan port TC.. and nothing else.
Do the factory reset.
Now check if TC comes up in airport utility..
If it fails, turn on ipv6 local link.. if you are using 6.3 utility this could be necessary.
Still fails, try loading the v5 utility.. you will need to plug the computer back into the FIOS to get internet. Then depending on OS.. Lion according to your profile.. you can just down the utility.. ML takes more steps.
See below.
Do you have an iphone or ipad.. download the airport utility app and use those for the setup.. that can sometimes work better.
How to load 5.6 into ML.
1. Download 5.6 for Lion.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1482
Click to open the dmg but do not attempt to install the pkg.. it won't work anyway.
2. Download and install unpkg.
http://www.timdoug.com/unpkg/
Run unpkg on the desktop.. it is very simple.. drag the AirPortUtility56.pkg file over to unpkg.. and it will create a new directory of the same name on the desktop.. drill down.. applications utilities .. there lo and behold is Airport utility 5.6 .. drag it to your main utilities directory or just run it from current location.
You cannot uninstall 6.1 (now 6.2 if you updated) so don't try.. and you cannot or should not run them both at the same time.. so just ignore the toyland version.. the plastic hammer.. and start using 5.6.. a real tool.

I'm trying to setup my ipad after a factory reset. I get to the screen that says choose network. I choose mine and it puts a checkmate next to it. I have all the bars for wifi and that's all that happens. It just stays on that screen. It won't highlight the next button so I can go on. Any help?

Turn off router for 30 seconds and on again; try connecting again when router is ready.

Hi Stivmc,
From your description in your post, it appears that your Mac has a firmware password enabled. To learn more about this, and what to do if you lost a firmware password, please see the link below.

Will my iPhone keep its firmware after a factory reset?

After choosing the 'Erase All Content and Settings' option, letting the iPhone do its 2 hour erase, and setting up the iPhone again, will it keep the same firmware it had before the factory reset?

Restoring an iPhone with iTunes completely erases the iPhone first - firmware and all, followed by the current firmware version being re-installed. After the firmware is re-installed, you are prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. This must be followed by a sync with iTunes to re-transfer your selected iTunes content to your iPhone and the same for any photos on your computer that you have selected to be transferred to your iPhone.
Selecting erase all content and settings from your iPhone erases all content and settings only, which is a secure erase. This does not erase the firmware from the iPhone.
What exactly are you wanting to accomplish?

Even after complete factory reset in a last ditch effort, my macbook is still awful. Why? Please help.

Aright, I'm really hoping I can get some help here. This macbook is the most expensive thing that I own.
So, I start up my macbook pro 13inch running macvericks a few days go and for some reason the fans are going full last and it's terribly sluggish. I dug around a bit and realized spotlight was indexing. I let it finish, then restarted my computer later that day. Then, as soon as it started back up this time the fans were going full speed again. I take care of my macbook, and I've never let it get close to overheating, then only thing that I do on it is browse the web, write, and record music using garageband. I was worried, so I looked at activity monitor and kernel_task was running full speed. I looked forever on the internet for a solution and found some useful tips about editing plists that solved my cpu problem. However, my fans still went full speed after I gave them some time to transtion, with a reset and all. So, at this point and I'm frustrated with merely the noise, I look around for fan control software and none of it stifled the raging monstrosity that has become my fan. My logic at this point? Back up everything and do a full wipe of the hard drive and reinstall mavericks. So I did. Here I am with a blank macbook pro that is now just as slow as it was and the fans are still going full speed. I can't believe I spent a years worth of saving to just have it suddenly combust on me like this. I hate to whine, but please help me. Now, the activity monitor shows levels of up to 80% cpu usage and no explanation on top of that. It's still incredibly loud and not hot at all. It's difficult to type this to you guys because my computer doesn't want to catch up. I read some stuff about involuntary indexing, I'll let the macbook run for a while today and see if anything starts to change. You're my lost hope guys. I called apple support but they wanted 19 dollars just to see if they could fix it or not, I didn't have the money to pay them now and I won't until school starts in a week, wherein I will deseprately need a fully functional macbook, the one that I paid for in August 2012 with literally all my savings.
*also, before I factory reset the macbook I did an smc and pram reset, I also took out the batter from inside the machine for 30 seconds.

Hi,
I am having the exact same problem with my macbook pro, I was just wondering if you ever got a solution for your problem? Its been persisting for 3 days and i literally just wiped the system and am in the middle of reinstalling mavericks as we speak (i too resorted to a desktop) It was only after that i saw this thread, and now i regret wiping the system knowing it probably wont work.. but however, fresh start and all that jazz. My warranty ended just last week so im pretty disappointed with the timing, and i cant afford to keep up the warranty another year. If you could give me a solution or some guidance that would be great!
Thanks!

How do I recover files from HP Connected Drive that no longer show up after a factory reset?

I am trying to recover files that were once visible in HP Connected Drive, after completing a factory reset. The files that I need are no longer showing up. How can I get them back?

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't erase the drive or write anything else to it until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

Recovery and EFI System Partitions both reading 100% Free after I Factory Reset

I own a Hp Envy dv7 Notebook PC running Windows 8 64Bit for about 1 year now. I recently did a Factory Reset, now my Recovery and EFI Partitions say 100% Free on both partitions. I used the recovery disks I made two days after I purchased computer.

Hi,
Is it "Factory Reset" you mentioned inside Windows(Change PC settings\General\Reset)? After you execute this feature, it would remove all the file in your current system drive and reinstall your system in fact. However it won't make any influence with
other drive.
In addition, generally speaking, OEM Recovery and EFI partitions should be hidden, how did you find them 100% free? I'm sorry for your loose, to fix this problem, you may need contact HP support for further assistance.

My location widget gone after doing factory reset

I'm using a nokia 808 phone and after doing a factory reset the my location widget is gone. Is there any standalone installer for this? this is my first reset of my phone since I bought it..

Hi,
What kind of factory reset have you done? Is it the soft reset or the hard reset, the hard reset deletes all the data of your phone.
Try to add a widget by tapping and holding an empty area of the home screen, then select Add widget and the search widget from the list.
If the widget is still not there, try to reinstall the software version of the phone via Nokia Suite. To do that, you just need to install Nokia Suite. To download, click Here. To reinstall your software version, follow the instructions below:
1. Connect your phone to your PC via USB.
2. On your phone select Nokia Suite for connection mode.
3. On your PC, launch Nokia Suite, go to Tools > Software update > Reinstall software version.
After that, recheck if the location widget is there already.
Hope this solution helps.

IPOD Software update and Factory Resetting

Hey,
So my Ipod touch needs to be reset and I cannot load the backup of it back on. If I purchased the iPod touch 3.0 update the first time around, will I have to repurchase it again once it is reset, or will it install it again? Thanks

If you use the same account as when you bought the update, iTunes will remember your purchase and download the firmware during the restore process.

HP ENVY 17 Notebook PC: Can't Activate Windows 8 Pro after a Factory Reset (Hard Disc reformatted).

Hello:
I had to perform a drastic cleanup of the C-drive of my ENVY 17 Notebook and did a Factory Reset. I was able to reload Windows 8 Pro from my recovery USB drive.
However, Windows 8 Pro cannot be reactivated stating that the Product Key is Invalid or Blocked. I understand this is caused by having the OS drive formatted and completely cleaned.
My questions are:
Will the HP Recovery Disks (which is available for ordering) be able to help solve the above situation?
Will it allow me to reactivate my Windows 8 Pro?
Will the HP Recovery Disks/media contain or marked with the proper Windows Product Key?
Thanks,
Rico.
This question was solved.

Resolved! HP Tech Support took care of me Thank you so much.
