Reinstalle​d and finally got HP Dir, etc. How to undo "Restore to Factory Settings"?

Finally, a reinstall that looks great, even has HP Dir  accessable, although no desktop Icon.  Using  XP Home, SP3, 
HP PSC 1310 series 1315xi,  (not s)  can't  find  My Profile  to  see  Settings options.   Clicked "Restore Factory Settings" but now would like to just try the updated install.   Can I do it without a  whole  new  reinstall, which might not come out as well as this one?   TIA.

Hi,
It actually displays a message saying something like No return. From my understanding NO RETURN means you can't undo the Factory Restore Settings after completion of the process.
Hope this helps.

  • Reinstalled and finally got HP Dir, etc. How to undo "Restore to Factory Settings" though?

    Can I change "Restore Factory Settings",  to updated ones, just to try them,  and change back, if I want,   without a whole new  reinstall?  Finally got HP Dir, after more than a year!    No Desktop Icons, though.  TIA.

  • Had a problem with my iPad 2 and took it into apple store to get it restored to factory settings. I now need to restore from iTunes but can't see my iPad when connected via USB, any ideas please?

    Help !! I had a problem with my iPad 2 this morning which resulted in me taking into the apple store and them restoring it to factory settings. They advised me to restore all my apps etc from iTunes which I am trying to do, however once connected via the USB I cannot see it as a device on iTunes, and I keep getting the message on my laptop "the iPad cannot be used because it requires iTunes version 11.1 or later, go to iTunes.com/uk and download the latest version"
    I cannot see what the version of iTunes is on my iPad and have gone into safari to try and download but not able to as it tells me iTunes is already loaded. I have the latest version on my laptop  so I am stuck as to what to do next.  Any suggestions please??

  • How can I restore to factory settings and wipe harddrive?

    I am selling my macbookpro 2.16GHz 120GB Duo Core online and I want to be sure that any information cannot be reclaimed from the hard drive. So far I have transfered my files to an external HD and erased all files on the laptop through the trash can application, including emptying the trash. I then inserted the original install disk which I believe returned the computer to factory settings because once it is turned on it begins with the welcome/ set up screens. But I really just want to be sure that I have erased everything and that nothing can be rebuilt from the hard drive. Should I have done something else to "deep clean" it?

    Boot from your OS installer disk. The one that came with the MBP. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Select the hard drive and then select Erase. You have several choices for the erase procedure so select the one you prefer. The more passes you select the longer the procedure will take. Then install the OS. After the last reboot when Mac Setup Assistant begins to run quit it and direct the Mac to shut down. The next time it's booted (by your new buyer) it will run again and they will have the opportunity to set it up from brand new.

  • I downloaded the new version of firefox yesterday and my original status bar and tool bar are gone. How do I restore my original settings?

    I already checked and I do not have a restore point set up on my p/c, so that is not an option. If needed, I would go back to my original version of firefox so I could have everything the way it was back. I do not have anything that I had saved on my new toolbar. All I have is a dropdown arrow under the tiny firefox symbol on the top left side of my screen. I don't even have a bar where I can put a www address in. When someone answers me, please keep in mind that I am only able to take directions and navigate very slowly around here. A p/c wizard, i am not. Thanks in advance for your help.

  • I hooked up mine and finally got it to work but every once in a while my web browser get stuck.  how di fix this?

    i hooked up mine airport and finally got it to work but every once in a while my web browser gets stuck.  how di fi?

    Wow that was really quick, thank you so much.  Im not sure at all which version it was because i said it was around 4 years ago he bought it.  I know it isn't under his username, since he's a PC person (ugh) so i know its probably registered to one of our actual names.  isn't there some way to look it up since we did register it, because I'm not even sure where the disks are from when we bought it (we've moved a lot and also have two storage lockers, i know i would have kept it with other disks) but my cd rom drive is actually broken on my computer as well ( i think it got stepped on and is now squished and won't eject or run disks.)
    So is there anyway they can look up that its registered to one of our names since we did register it when we bought and installed it, or do i really have to find the disk with some sort of proof of purchase (i know there would be no receipt after all this time)
    either way, ill do what you suggested to the best of my abilities and thank you so much for answering my questions, i can't even open the program as its incompatible and find out the info from that) so I'm in a bit of a pickle and your response was so thorough and it didn't seem to be posted long enough to even write a well researched response, thanks, all the best,

    Thanks

    have you backed up in the past with iTunes or iCloud? If so, it is possible that you will not lose this information, but I cannot guarantee anything.
    Check for backups in iTunes by going to Preferences > Devices > Device backups
    If you do not see any, and your iPad is still in working order, check for iCloud backups in Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup
    Also, if your iPad is still in working order, you can backup with itunes before restoring : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • Every time I upload photos to Facebook it connects through an IOS folder and attaches to old comments etc, how do I stop this and just upload normally

    Every time I upload photos to Facebook it connects through an IOS folder and attaches to old comments etc, how do I stop this and just upload normally

    If you read the user tip you will see that you do not access your photos from the finder but from the upload window in your browser when you log into Facebook and go to upload - in the upload window the media browser in the lawer left hand corner - media ==> photos ==> iPhoto

  • HT4946 iTunes shows I have an encrypted backup under preferences.   It's got the pad lock. When I click restore the encrypted backup is not an option. I've been test MDM products and may have caused this. How do I restore the encrypted backup.

    iTunes shows I have an encrypted backup under preferences.   It's got the pad lock. When I click restore the encrypted backup is not an option. I've been test MDM products and may have caused this. How do I restore the encrypted backup.

    I just came here today to ask the same question.
    I have an iPod Gen2 with version 4.2.1 iOS, and iTunes 11.0.2.26
    My iPod Touch was running sluggish so I backed up and selected the "Encrypt local backup" to "back up account passwords used on my iPod".
    I selected a password for this backup and restored my iPod Touch.
    When I went to restore from backup, that encrypted backup is not available on the drop down list.
    However, if I go to the top of ITunes and click "Edit", "Preferences" "Device", it shows the back up with the pad lock on it.
    I thought I was being smart backing up with encryption to back up account passwords, but now I have lost everything.
    So many people have the issue where it asks for a password when they never told iTunes to do an encrypted backup and here we are with an encrypted backup, and we know the password, but we don't get the option to restore from it.

  • My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

    My 4G Ipod shuffle does not play songs in the correct order? Already restored to factory settings and no success.. Can anybody help me?

    I FINALLY GOT IT! after months of relentless synching/autofilling problems on my 4th generation i figured out the solution.
    this is what i did: plugged in ipod on off mode~>manually deleting my ipod's songs~>restored factory settings~>unchecked automatic synch~>made a new playlist with exactly the songs & order i wanted for my ipod (just dragged old playlists into the new one)~>then autofilled that new playlist into my ipod. came out like a charm! (before u autofill UNCHECK random add songs)
    my ipod always ended up autofilling/synching my customized playlists wrong or it would automatically do my music library (and that was way unorganized), so this worked.

  • I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them?  Can I back those up to iCloud?  My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)

    "I need to erase the contents of my phone and restore to factory settings. Does anybody know how to save your texts so you don't lose them?  Can I back those up to iCloud?  My phone was very likely hacked (Apple's advice was to call the police!)"
    That was all I could put in the initial "box."  Then it brought me to this page with instructions on how to write a good sentence.
    Proceeding ...
    After going back and forth between Apple, AT&T and the police (all telling me to go to the other two) I took AT&Ts suggestion and got a new number. One tech warned against doing a backup, especially on my Mac, saying if my phone had been hacked then whatever bug was there would then invade my computer. But nobody knows how to determine if the phone has been hacked or a virus was planted there. Unfortunately I know who would have reason to do such a thing and all I can say is that he is at the top technologically and could easily do it. Almost impossible to prove, however.
    So I need to preserve my text messages and my emails as well. I backed up my photos to that Microsoft product (One-Drive) and it froze (Surprise, Surprise) with four short videos to go, and no way of stopping that (when I tried it crashed repeatedly) so I'm in crisis mode here.
    Help ...

    Thanks!

    Betty I don't know if you fixed your hacking problem but I feel your pain. I've seen some strange things going on between my iMac and my iPhone and Apple has told me the same thing, call the police which I have done. The hackers have stole 500.00 out of my checking account have access to every internet account I use and no matter how often I change the password their right back on the account. I closed my FB account 3 times only to have someone reopen it. Right now I've got a link in my reading list (Safari) that if I click on it, it allows me to log onto my FB account anonymously.
    I've seen a green folder come out of no where while I was trying to delete my passwords out of keychain when that green folder was put into the key chain I was immediately locked out. I than went into system preferences to try to make changes to my security settings, when I clicked on the icon it wouldn't open. I've seen log files of automator receiving commands and sending out my personal information thats on my computer.
    I have a legitamate program called iExplorer that allows you to look at the contents of your iPhone back ups and saw a transaction someone made at the Apple store for some full length movies, some albums, ibooks and other apps but when I called the iTunes store and they said none of those items were showing up on my account. If their not on my account how can they be on my iPhone 6? One day someone was using my gmail account and unknowingly used google maps to search for an Italian restaurant, than a Mexican restaurant than a coffee shop and their search showed up on my iPhone but I didn't have my gmail account installed on my iPhone 6. Using my computer I logged onto my gmail account and looked at the maps history and sure enough there were the searches when I'd hover my curser over the link it gave me the longitude and latitude of the where the hacker was when he was using google maps. I know whoever reads this thinks Im crazy but I've documented everything and can prove the things that I have mentioned in this post actually happened.
    One day I had my laptop (pc) and my iMac next to each other as I was using both. when I clicked on airport it showed that my laptop and my iMac had made a connection and were actually communicating with each other. I know I didn't do it I don't know how. The iMac was logged into my iCloud account while my laptop wasn't. I have formatted my iPhone at least a dozen times, Apple and an Apple retailer have formatted my hard drive not to mention the numerous times I have formatted it but the hackers keep getting on my devices. Im formatting my lap top at this very second because during the course of the night I left the ethernet cable plugged into it and they locked me out of my c: drive, and configured the system so I can't download any updates from Microsoft, overtime I type in www.microsoft.com it changes to ww38.microsoft.com which takes me to a blank page. I right clicked on the page I was redirected to and read the java script and couldn't believe that someone had actually configured Internet Explorer to redirect me to a blank page when I tried to go to Microsoft. Apples answer to all this is there was nothing wrong with my iPhone or my iMac and if I thought there was a problem to call the police which I have done.
    Theres no doubt the hackers are reading this while I type it or will read it and I simply don't care anymore. I no longer email anyone, don't use my iCloud account and have taken precautions to protect my credit but if I ever find out who has invaded my privacy to this extreme the police are going to want to talk to me because Im going to hurt them like they've never been hurt before
