Reset 3GS to factory default settings

I need to reset my 3GS iPhone to factory defaults (I will be doing this to five different phones ; does that matter?). Can some one direct me to the spot to do that? Thanks.

Thanks for the replies. I am a procurement guy. The phones are not mine and the users turned them back in with NO documentation and a claim that all data had been wiped out. I gave two of the phones to my kids (17 & 18) and they found all sorts of pictures and other "data" on a "scrubbed" phone. This is why I asked how to reset to factory settings.

  • Recently had to reset my computer back to factory default settings

    I recently had to reset my computer back to factory default settings due to a possible keylogger hidden somewhere on my computer. When I did this, I forgot to transfer all of my songs onto my iPod before I did it, which wiped all of my songs off of my computer. I recently re-installed iTunes and I need to know if there is a way to recover the songs I had purchased previously?
    Whenever I try to "Buy Song", it takes me to the receipt of the song, but won't download it. Any suggestions?

  • I can not reset factory default settings in photoshop, which will enable the "mini bridge". any ideas???

    I tried uninstall and installing the program. I am taking a class and I need to open the "mini bridge" within the program.  The instructions were to open the program and as it was opening, press cntrl, alt and shift to access the default settings. I did this and the prompt came up asking if I wanted to go to factory default settings, I responded yes. The program continued to open and should have shown the mini bridge tab in lower left c@orner of the application page, nothing shows up. This is my dilema.

    Hi,
    The Mini Bridge panel is no longer available in the most current major version (15.x) of Ps CC aka 2014. You can install the previous major version, Ps CC (14.2.1) by using the Creative Cloud desktop application.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:

  • Factory default settings ?

    How do I reset my HP Officejet all-in-one printer to factory default settings ?

    If you find the file com.apple.windowserver.plist and throw it in the trash and restart, that will get things back to factory default. On the other hand, if you have never previously made a calibration of any kind, then the settings probably still are at factory default.

  • HT201304 If I forgot my password is there any way to remove the restrictions and backup my iPod from the computer? I tried reseting it to factory defaults and then backing it up but it still has the restrictions on.

    I'm trying to remove my restrictions, and i reset it to factory default, but everytime i back it up the restrictions are still on. I don't want to have to register as a new ipod and loose everything i've bought and added.

    - Restore from a backup that was make before you added the Restrictions passcode. If you restore from a backup made with the Restrictions passcode the Restrictions passcode is also restored.
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - If you are up to it see:

  • I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

    I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • How can I reset my Mac to default settings? Or how can I reset it to a prior date? My Mac has a virus and I would like to get rid of it. I would appreciate your help concerning this matter.

    How can I reset my Mac to default settings? Or how can I reset it to a prior date? My Mac has a virus and I would like to get rid of it. I would appreciate your help concerning this matter.

    To restore it follow these instructions: What to do before selling or giving away your Mac.
    Before you do the above check out the following;
    Helpful Links Regarding Malware Problems
    If you are having an immediate problem with ads popping up see The Safe Mac » Adware Removal Guide, AdwareMedic, or Remove unwanted adware that displays pop-up ads and graphics on your Mac - Apple Support.
    Open Safari, select Preferences from the Safari menu. Click on Extensions icon in the toolbar. Disable all Extensions. If this stops your problem, then re-enable them one by one until the problem returns. Now remove that extension as it is causing the problem.
    The following comes from user stevejobsfan0123. I have made minor changes to adapt to this presentation.
    Fix Some Browser Pop-ups That Take Over Safari.
    Common pop-ups include a message saying the government has seized your computer and you must pay to have it released (often called "Moneypak"), or a phony message saying that your computer has been infected, and you need to call a tech support number (sometimes claiming to be Apple) to get it resolved. First, understand that these pop-ups are not caused by a virus and your computer has not been affected. This "hijack" is limited to your web browser. Also understand that these messages are scams, so do not pay any money, call the listed number, or provide any personal information. This article will outline the solution to dismiss the pop-up.
    Quit Safari
    Usually, these pop-ups will not go away by either clicking "OK" or "Cancel." Furthermore, several menus in the menu bar may become disabled and show in gray, including the option to quit Safari. You will likely have to force quit Safari. To do this, press Command + option + esc, select Safari, and press Force Quit.
    Relaunch Safari
    If you relaunch Safari, the page will reopen. To prevent this from happening, hold down the 'Shift' key while opening Safari. This will prevent windows from the last time Safari was running from reopening.
    This will not work in all cases. The shift key must be held at the right time, and in some cases, even if done correctly, the window reappears. In these circumstances, after force quitting Safari, turn off Wi-Fi or disconnect Ethernet, depending on how you connect to the Internet. Then relaunch Safari normally. It will try to reload the malicious webpage, but without a connection, it won't be able to. Navigate away from that page by entering a different URL, i.e. www.apple.com, and trying to load it. Now you can reconnect to the Internet, and the page you entered will appear rather than the malicious one.

  • Reset Muse to factory defaults?

    Is there a way to reset Muse to factory defaults?  I see a reset preferences option and an option to rest the windows but not an option to reset everything back to defaults.
    Also, is there a way to save specific layouts?
    Thanks.

  • How do you Reset iPad to factory defaults

    How do you reset an iPad to factory defaults?

    Go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • After updating software on IPAD from computer says I have to reset IPAD to factory default and will lose all data???

    After updading software on IPAD2 tells me I have to reset to factory default and will lose all data

    Kinda.
    Read the following in its entirty before doing anything.
    Note that a "Restore" could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you 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 (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • I have a P2035 that is stuck on MANUAL for IP configuration, how can I reset this to factory default

    The ip address is set to 0.0.0.0 and I cannot connect to it at all to get to the webportal to reset or change, is there any way to reset to factory default?

    Our process would involve the original owner taking or shipping the phone to a technician to be unlocked. However, since it is out of the warranty period, there may be a cost depending on your location. Call us: http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/corporate/common/contact/phonelist
    Others may suggest other options, but of course, we would not reccomend these.
