Resetting n73 to original factory settings

hi, how do I reset my n73 to the original factory settins?

IF someone has changed the default lock code and has not made u aware of it and u r in a situation that u could not reach that person or that person is not willing to say the changed one to you( shh have a break )
The only thing is to visit a Nokia care center and reset it back to default Lock code
Three finger reset in case of N73 will not reset it back to the default code
In case of N73 "Forgotten the code, Visit a Nokia care center"

You need to boot from the Toshiba recovery disk, which will erase the hard drive and then restore the disk image as it came out-of the-box. If you dont have the recovery disk, you can order a replacment from Toshiba Customer Service: (800) 457-7777.

I restored my ipod to original factory settings, now it won't work

After restoring my ipod to original factory settings (to solve a problem of some of my songs that wouldn't play) I tried to put all of the songs on itunes back onto my ipod. Now, itunes is giving me this message saying it can't read my ipod and that I should restore it again. I can't restore it again becuase my itunes won't acknowledge that my ipod is plugged in or anything. Is there another way to restore it?

Is this the error message that you see?
"Disk cannot be read from or written to" error syncing iPod in iTunes.
If nothing else works, you could try a format of the iPod in Windows. A full format does a check and remap of bad sectors on the iPod hard drive, and you would need to restore the iPod as normal (using the iPod updater) afterward. This can also work when the iPod is recognized by the computer, but not by the updater. It's usually a last ditch troubleshooting effort.
First, put the iPod into forced disk mode.
See: How to put the iPod into disk mode.
On your PC, go "my computer" and right click on the iPod, then choose "format". Ensure the settings are at "default" and that "quick format" is not checked. Now select "format". It will take a while, but when that's finished, restore the iPod using the updater.
If you need to, reset the iPod to exit disk mode.

How do i reset/restore computer to factory settings???

how do i reset/restore computer to factory settings???

Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
       A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
       B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
          1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
          2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
          3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
              side.
          4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
              sure to opt for that.
               Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
               startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
          1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
          2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
          3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
          4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
          5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
     A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
          1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
          2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
          3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
              Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          4. Install OS X.
          5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
          6. Shutdown the computer.
     B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                   it is three times faster than wireless.
          1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
              Utilities window appears.
          2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
          3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
              on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
          4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
              and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
          6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
          7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
          8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

Forgot user password, how to reset mac pro to factory settings

hi guys,
Recently I bought a used mac OS X 10.5, am very new to mac world. i am unable to load any softwares like wireless adapters since I am unable to get the password for the previous user. Also, I would like to reset the computer to factory settings, can I do that? Would you folks help me out!!
thanks

The Mac Pro has 4 internal drive sleds, no cables, that just pull out and slide back in.
Pull out the original drive and see what else is there.
Buy yourself or use one of your own drives.
HOLD 'C' to boot from a DVD.
Holding OPTION or Alt will show a boot menu of valid boot volumes (can include Windows even). You could boot from Windows CD/DVD and nuke the whole thing.
Before installing, go to UTILITY menu and DISK UTILITY and ERASE the drive (not the subset volume).
Assume you know your way around Mac and OS, yes?
You don't know what was or wasn't, and if you don't own license for software etc that is on the computer, another reason to wipe it clean.
Start from scratch.
Call AppleCare Customer Support and they can send out discs for fee, insure it is 'legit' (need to give them the serial number from case).

Resetting MacBook Air to factory settings

Hi,
I wish to reset my MacBook Air to its original factory settings as I cannot get rid of this Java 3.16 update virus that stops me from streaming videos online. I have already copied all my files to an external hard drive, so am not worried about losing anything. I do not appear to have any backups on my Time Machine, so this doesn't seem to be an option for me either. Please advise in plain english how to proceed as I only have a basic understanding of Mac systems.
Thanks

Why do you think you have a Java virus? Before doing an erase and reinstall, you might try going to Thomas Reed's site, http://www.thesafemac.com and check out his information on Java and problems you are having. If that does not help, then erasing and reinstalling will definitely clean things up.
To 'reset to factory settings' you must erase the internal storage and reinstall Mac OS X and your applications.
What version of Mac OS X did your MacBook Air come with, was it Yosemite as noted in your information bar?
If it was Yosemite, you can restart the MBA and hold the Command and R keys, that will startup on the Recovery HD, a hidden partition on the machine. Then select the Utilities drop down and then Disk Utility.
Highlight the internal storage, MacIntosh HD, in the left panel of the Disk Utility window, and then Erase. That will remove the information on the storage.
Then quit Disk Utility and select Install Mac OS X from the utilities drop down and that will reinstall Yosemite. After that you will have to restore your applications from your backup copies. But, be careful what you reinstall so you do not reinstall the problem software.

How do I reset Apple Mail to Factory Settings?

How do I reset Apple Mail to factory settings? I had 7 emails accounts on there and was about to add my school email address. It wasn't going through though, so I went to the school's IT department to ask them to do it. Unfortunately, the IT guy couldn't fix the school email and worse, now ALL my emails accounts won't go online. They all have exclamation points to their right, and are constantly asking for passwords. No matter how many times I put in the right password, it still keeps asking for it. I tried fixing it from Mail Preferences and System Preferences but nothing works. It keeps saying Connection Error. I don't know what the IT guy tweaked but it messed up everything.

I reset my iPad2 to factory settings now photos will not sync

I am having trouble with syncing photos to my ipad. Very strange since I have been using MAC and ipad for several years now. My ipad 2 (iOS 7.0.4) recently started having troubles synching to my MAC (OSX 10.9.1) so I reset the iPad to factory settings. I was able to synch apps, music and videos with no problem, but when I click on "photos" (see screenshot below) on the ipad synch tool bar in itunes (11.1.4) all I get is a swirly that never stops. I am unable to get to the screen where I can synch all photos or just select certain events, albums, faces, etc. I am using iPhoto 9.5.1.
Like I said, never had any trouble ever until just now. I have all my apps, music and videos on my ipad and they work fine. I still have 13 GB memory left, but cannot get the photos to synch. Anyone have a remedy?
Thanks!

I can't see your screenshot, not that it matters that much. I would be interested to know what the other problems that you allude to are with regard to syncing your iPad, but have you added any photos to iPhoto or created new albums or events? Have you had any issues with iPhoto?
I assume that you tried quitting iPhoto, iTunes and restarting the Mac?

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my old iPhone.

How do I download the music from iTunes onto an old iPhone 3gs without affecting my iPhone 5? I have reset the iPhone to factory settings and when I plug it in it wants to use the device name for my current iPhone 5 and I don't want to change anything on my current iPhone. iTunes won't let me change the device name for the 3gs. I just want to use the old iPhone like an touch.

Hi littlemansa,
If I am understanding you correctly, it sounds like you are returning to an old iPhone that has been erased and you would like to set it up as a new device without restoring from a backup which would affect the name of your iPhone, as well as the contents therein. I have an article for you that can help you set up your iPhone as a new device, and that information can be found below:
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT4137
Basically, it seems like you may be stuck on a screen that is asking if you would like to restore your device from the backup that is filed under the name of your new iPhone, or if you would like to set up the device as a new device. I would suggest that you set it up as a new device to achieve your desired results.
Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

I recently reset my computer to factory settings. I re-downloaded iTunes, but lost most of my music and all of my playlists in both iTunes and my 4S. How can I get this back?

Restore your media from the backup of the computer created prior to restoring the computer.
You did create a backup, correct? Not doing so would be extremely unintelligent.
iOS devices are NOT backup devices.
