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.
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"?
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,

I have an iPod Classic 160GB and now it will not sync. I have restored to factory settings multiple times. It freezes during sync, gives -50 error code and says video is not supported on iPod. Please help.
This is the iPod touch forum. I requested the moderators to move your post to the iPod classic forum.

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.

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??Hi there Paula120,

How to restrict restoring to factory settings on iPhone 4S
Hi,
Is there anyway to prevent my phone being restored back to factory settings if someone was to steal it without using a pass code every time I use my phone? Exactly like the restrictions but I couldn't find out how to stop them restoring my phone back to factory settings.
ThanksNope. Since it looks like you are on ios7 then in order to restore you need the apple id and password you used to set it up. Anyone that steals your phone cannot restore it. Although not using a passcode is not recommended because then if it is stolen they can get all your personal information off the phone.

I have a HP Probook 6445b how do I restore to factory settings please help thanks
How do I restore my HP Probook 6445b to factory settings
Hi:
If you have a recovery partition, boot up the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, tap the F11 key and you should be presented with the system recovery menu.
If that doesn't happen or you don't have a recovery partition you will need to order a set of quick restore disks for your PC by calling HP for the country you live in at the link below.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/hp-information/summary/ww-contact-us.html
If there is a separate phone number for business PC's/notebooks, call that number.
Inform the customer services rep that you need a set of quick restore DVD's for your notebook.
You will be asked for the model number and serial number, so have those handy.
Cost ranges from free in countries such as the UK, to $10 in the USA/Canada, to more than $10 elsewhere.

HT2731 how do i restore the factory settings on ipod?
daugther put her password wrong 3 times. now blocked how do i restore factory settings?
If it's showing the red disabled screen then you will need to connect it to the computer that it's normally sync to and you should then be able to reset the iPod and restore/re-sync the content to it (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212) - you may need to put the iPod into recovery mode in order to be able to reset it : http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808
If you do it via a different computer then :
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. -
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.

My 4s is locked out because we forgot the passcode. I can't restore it from iTunes backup since I can't turn it off because the power button doesn't work. If I treat it as a stolen phone and erase via Find My iPhone, will I need that power button to work in order to get it up and going again after restoring?
The phone is pretty much disabled if either button doesn't work.

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,
