  • 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?

  • 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.

  • HT4527 cannot access original itunes library. PC back to factory default settings

    I'm using the same Toshiba laptop which has been returned (following a fault), to factory settings. I cannot get access via itunes, to my original music library when either ipod or ipad are connected.
    I have an iPod Touch 4th gen and Apple iPad version 3.
    The iPad has my original music library and videos on it. My ipod only has purchased music as now shown on the curreny itunes library.
    How do re-trieve the original library?
    Alan (UK)

    As far as the iPod know your restored computer is a new computer/new library.  If everything that is on your iPod is in the library on your restored computer let iTunes erase you iPod and replace its contents with what is now in your iTunes library.  If you have the iPod backup from your pre-restored iPod, you can restore your iPod from that backup to get your app data and other things back.  See the following fro the location of the backup file and what is in the backup.

  • Need help resetting the Surface Pro 3 Back to factory Defaults

    Hey guys need some help.  I have a Surface Pro 3 we were trying to image.  No Luck.  We have given up for now and tryingto go back to factory defaults.  Luckily I made a restore USB before I did anything.  Here is the problem:
    Somehow we screwd up the UEFI settings and it wont even find the drive.  I Keep changing the settings but everytime i go to "Reset Your PC" and repartition drives I get a "Unable to reset your PC. The system Drive cannot be found"
    message. 
    I See no clear way of setting it back to Factory Defaults but here is the Screen BIOS/UEFI screen settings
    Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Enabled
    (Tried Both No luck)
    Secure Boot Control Disabled
    (Tried Both No luck)
    configure Alternate System Boot Order Network-USB- SSD
    (Tried both ways no luck)
    Configure External Ports -All ports enabled.

    Yes you can. From CLI of Mars:
    [pnadmin]$ pnreset -h
    Usage:  pnreset or pnreset option.
            Default. With no options pnreset restores the appliance to factory
            defaults and purges all configuration and event data (certificate and
            fingerprints stored to validate reporting devices, topology settings,
            archived logs, and the license key information).
        -h  Displays this usage information.
        -g  Removes the Global Controller data from a Local Controller, leaving
            the Local Controller-specific data and the Global Controller
            communication information untouched.  Use this option only after
            a Global Controller crash or recovery.  In this case, "pnreset -g"
            must be executed on every Local Controller that was monitored by
            the failed Global Controller.
        -s  Removes the Global Controller communication information and resets
            a Local Controller to standalone mode.  It removes the Global Controller
            data and connectivity data from the Local Controller as well as the
            default Controller zone information.  Use this option only after
            a failed Delete of the Local Controller entry from the Global Controller
            "Local Controller Management" web page.
        -o  Resets the tnsnames.ora file to factory default. The tnsnames.ora file
            is required for the Oracle client to connect to the Oracle server.
        -j  Resets the web server scheduler depending on Local Controller's
            running mode. A restart of web server is enforced.
    [pnadmin]$ pnreset
    Reset command will erase all data in database and reboot the machine.
    Please type YES if you want to proceed:
    Hope this helps.

  • 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:

  • 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.

    Did you try starting all over again to see if you can start from scratch now?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Reset UCS to Factory Defaults

    Does anyone know how to reset a UCS system to factory defaults? We have a UCS lab at the office and we need to be able to reset everything back to factory defaults so that multiple people can learn how to build a UCS system from the ground up.

  • 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.
