Reboot laptop back to factory settings using control panel

can someone please tell me how to get my compouter back to factory settings using the control panel. i think i may have downloaded somthing thats making my laptop messed up and i dont have a clue on what to do. help please!

Click Start , All Programs , Recovery Manager .
Or,just do it from boot. Immediately after powering on the laptop start tapping away at the F11 key.This should boot into Recovery Manager where you can choose to do a Factory reset.

Hi NYYJMM,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You may want to reset your iPod nano and then sync again. If the issue persists, restore your iPod and try again. See these articles for the steps:

Need to restore my laptop back to factory settings

Hi all - looking for some help please.
The HDD in my G575 laptop has failed - think the laptop ran out of battery during a Microsoft update, so that might be the issue.
I want to take the laptop back to factory settings. I don't have restore disks created - but I do have a loan of my friends laptop which is identical, so I can burn disks from that.
However - I am not sure how to do it. What steps do I need to take? Can anyone guide me please?
Thanks.
Solved!

HELP ME PLEASE! I Cannot re-register Photoshop CS4 atfter bringing laptop back to factory settings?!

I had to bring back my laptop to factory settings and have tried to re-load PS CS4 and now the serial number is not recognised. I have explained this to Adobe and they say they do not recognise the serial number, but they did recognise it the first time around when I initially registered it? I think it may be something to do with deactivating and reactivating between different laptops and PCs because of the licence. I cannot deactivate as I am unable to access Photoshop to do so.
I have actually found my purchase details off Amazon, as Adobe suggested, but I am unsure where I should send this information to as Adobe have not come back to me? I am based in the UK.
I am hoping that someone can please help me.
Many thanks
Rhian

Hi Curt
What if I've purchased it off Amazon, will that make a difference?

I have recently reset my laptop to factory settings and whilst doing so have lost my music files. I have uploaded my cds but am having trouble moving music from my ipad mini back to music file or itunes.

iTunes sync is one way from iTunes library to an iOS device.
You will need third party software such as TouchCopy to transfer from iOS to your computer.

I need help with past purchases, as i had to return my laptop back to factory settings and lost them all

I have recently had to reset my laptop to factory setting and wasnt able to backup any of my downloads, i have tried to download my music and videos however it keeps saying that i have already downloaded them, does anyone know if i can re download them ?

Welcome to the Apple Community.
You can re-download content purchased from the iTunes store (availability varies depending on location) using the purchased option from the Quick Links section in the top right corner of the iTunes homepage in your iTunes application on your computer.

After I enter my password in my Mac mini, my screen turns black. I know it is there, ( i can hear the assistant), but I cannot see anything. i went to Genius and they said hold Control, Option, P, R on the re-boot to get back to factory settings...

I went to the Genius bar and they told me to Control, Option, P, R on a reboot to restore the settings, but with a wireless KeyBoard it does not work. I installed my standard PC keyboard, but am not sure what keys renase the display back to factory settings.

Hello Dominique,
Generally on a PC Keyboard...
Windows key = Command key on Mac
alt key = Option key on Mac
PRAM reset, CMD+Option+p+r...

With PC KB... Windows+alt+p+r
But try holding the Shift key down at boot to get into Safe Mode, see if the Display settings need adjusting.

I have a iPhone 5. In usage, it says i have 2.1 gigs used because of photos and camera. I have deleted all my photos via iPhoto and now reset the phone back to factory settings in order to try to solve this problem, to no avail. Both iTunes and the phone say that 2.1 gigs are being used, even though the phone now has nothing on it. What is going on?

Yeah it works fine over wifi the problem is when I try to use it over my 3G. It's really stressing me out now.

Try a new SIM from your carrier. If that doesn't work, make a Genius Bar appointment and get your phone evaluated.

Bought a used Mac Mini and can't get past security password Seller refuses to answer emails. is there a keyboard command to take it back to factory settings or do I need to buy a Disc set and OS???

You can bypass the password and wipe the drive and return to the original facory installation if the seller included the orginal install DVDs with the Mac mini. If not you will need a retail version of Mac OS X. To boot from the Install DVD restart the mini, immediately slip in the DVD and press and hold the C key.

I'm needing help restoring an iPod touch 5 back to factory settings because I purchased it used

I'm needing help in restoring an iPod touch 5th generation back to factory settings. Because I purchased it used from a family member who can not remember their password or sercuity question answers

They need to call AppleCare, ask to be transferred to the Account Security team.

We reset back to factory settings, we had to try a few email addresses before finding one we could use. Now it is asking to verify one of the email addresses we didn't use. How do we get out of that?

We reset back to factory settings. After a few attempts we found an email we could use to set up as Apple ID. Everything was working great. Now it has pulled up one of the email addresses we tried to use, and is trying to verify, and asking to continue to complete the set up. It gets to a certain page, and stays there, won't let us get out of the page. We shut down the iPad, but it came back to the same thing, when it restarted. What do we do to stop this?

You will need another iOS device or a computer in order to do this, but I assume that's not a problem since you are on this forum.
see if you can change the ID using the instructions here.
Apple ID: Changing your Apple ID
Did you try starting all over again to see if you can start from scratch now?

Start with a SMC reset:

You may have to use OPTION D to start it.
Take a look at Activity Monitor, set to 'All Processes' for possible clues.
