IPhone 4s update was interrupted and message said phone had to be reset to factory settings. Lost all photos from phone in process of transferring to pc. Copy of my backup overroad that phone and all the old data and photos are gone.

My boyfriend and I share an iTunes account. I just tried to update his phone and during the update an error message occurred saying that his phone had to be reset to factory settings. It said it was an un setup phone and needed plugged in to iTunes. With no other choice, we had to select reset to factory settings. Now, my phone backup through iCloud downloaded onto his and all of his contacts and photos were overridden by mine. His photos were in process of transferring from the phone to the pc while this occurred and over 900 of them were complete when this happened. They don't show up on the pc now either since the sycn wasn't finished. Is there a way to get them back? When we plug his phone in now it shows my name instead of his so I'm not sure how to get to an old version of his backups even.

Error -1 indicates a hardware issue with the device.

The device should still have warranty but unfortunately any service needs to be done in the US.

Is it possible for you to send the device home and have a family member take it to the Apple Store?

IPod Classic (7th Generation) won't reset to factory settings...

Hi, I have a Apple iPod classic 160 GB Black (7th Generation). I had tried to sync it to my MacBook Pro, which the iPod was set up with, will not show up in iTunes. I will get an error message "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored because it could not be found." Then I'll get another error message "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod " Chris' Classic 160 iPod." Go to the Summary tab in iPod preferences and click Restore to restore this iPod to factory settings." When I go to "About this iPod" it shows that there are no songs, movies, photos, podcasts or contacts. There are four games loaded on the iPod. But, it shows 41.5 GB used and 107 GB free.
This is what I have done up to this point:
Disconnect and reconnect your iPod to iTunes, and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again. Also, I've tried other USB cords.
Restart your computer and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again.
Try connecting your iPod to a different USB port, and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again. Connecting to a USB 2.0 port is recommended. For Windows computers, refer to Identifying USB 2.0 ports on your computer for instructions.
Remove any USB devices not manufactured by Apple that you have connected to your computer (it is not necessary to remove your keyboard or mouse). Then, attempt to restore or update the iPod again.
Update to the latest version of iTunes, and then attempt to restore or update the iPod again.
How do I clear out that 41.5 GB from the iPod? What can I do to reset the factory settings on the iPod?

Do the iPod disk diagnostic on your iPod, as in this excellent earlier post by tt2.
It wont fix your problem, but help us in troubleshooting.
then, Use Disk Utility->FirstAid->Repair ( may take 30 minutes )
Failing that Disk Utility -> Erase
This will reformat the iPod ( try using FAT32, instaed of HFS+) may take 4 hours.

30GB IPOD needed to be reset to factory settings...HELP

my 2 yr old 30 GB ipod needed to be reset to factory settings as it was not being recognized by my computer or itunes. It stated the the ipod was corrupt. Apple support in Burlington suggested to reset to factory settings as othe measures didn't work. I now have new computer and need to know if I have to reload the itunes CD or just login to Itunes store.

You need to download the latest version of iTunes from Apple (the "itunes store" is not involved).
http://www.apple.com/itunes/
The disc that came with the iPod will have an older version of the software, so download the latest. Install iTunes. Put all of your music and other media into the iTunes library. Connect the iPod. It should be recognized by iTunes. Depending on the current settings on the iPod, it may or may not ask if you want to sync the iPod to the iTunes library. If you sync, the music in your iTunes library will be copied to the iPod, and replace whatever music is already on the iPod.
If you want to Restore the iPod to erase it and and initialize the software, select the iPod in the iTunes sidebar and click on the Restore button. This will install the latest available software for the iPod (technically not "factory settings"). After the Restore process completes and the iPod restarts, iTunes will again ask if you want to sync the iPod to your library or not (do it manually).

IOS8 is too slow on iPad3! Can I restore to my 7.1.2 backup without resetting to factory defaults?

IOS8 is too slow on iPad3! Can I restore to my 7.1.2 backup without having to reset to factory defaults? I have both iCloud and iTunes backups....

No.
Apple has no support or provision for reverting to a previous iOS version.
Try a reset of your iPad by holding down the power button and hone button simultaneously until your iPad screen goes black and the Apple Logo reappears on screen, then let go of the buttons.

I can log in, but everything seems to be reset to "factory"

I can't seem to find this problem detailed anywhere, so here goes:
My Intel Mac mini running 10.5 froze up tonight, so I had to do a hard shut-down. When it restarted, the machine is in a state that was (is) very bizarre. It recognizes my user name, and I'm shown as the Admin, but the entire thing looks like it's been reset to "factory" conditions. The dock is HUGE, with only the icons that you get from a new account, and any apps I try to run start off with the "license agreement" screen.
In addition, my user folder has a generic blue folder icon, not the normal "home" icon. I can't access anything in Mail because it says the files are all "read-only." It seems as though although I am logged into my account, it has actually created a NEW account with that name, although I can still access all of my documents, etc.
I have Time Machine running -- any ideas on how I can restore back to normalcy using that? Sadly, I also have a Super-Duper backup, but since that's not yet Leopard compatible, it's not going to do me much good! Any advice appreciated!

Thanks for the tips. Funny thing is, I restarted several times last night, with the same (not good) results. I did "repair permissions" once, then rebooted, but still no good. I did not however then boot to the install disk and run any utilities from there.
For what it's worth, I have two external FireWire drives connected -- one is dedicated to Time Machine, and the other is for SuperDuper backup/clone. However, since Leopard was installed, I can no longer boot to that drive -- from reading the info on the SuperDuper website, it seems they are feverishly working to get a Leopard-compatible version out there.
Oh, and I also have a portable USB drive that I use to make a clone once a month and take off site. I was thinking that it would quite ironic that with all these backups, I would be in a position where I was not able to restore. Fortunately, it didn't come to that.

I baught second hand iMac and having trouble to reset to factory setting Help pls

I baught second hand iMac and having trouble to reset to factory setting Help pls

The previous owner left a Recovery HD partition on the drive. You cannot use it because it will only install a version of OS X that is tied to that persons Apple ID. You cannot use his/her Apple ID nor reinstall his/her copy of OS X. You must start, literally, from scratch.
You can purchase Snow Leopard through the Apple Store: Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store (U.S.). The price is $19.99 plus tax. You will be sent physical media by mail after placing your order.
After you install Snow Leopard you will have to download and install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 to update Snow Leopard to 10.6.8 and give you access to the App Store. Access to the App Store enables you to download Mavericks if your computer meets the requirements.
     Snow Leopard General Requirements
       1. Mac computer with an Intel processor
       2. 1GB of memory
       3. 5GB of available disk space
       4. DVD drive for installation
       5. Some features require a compatible Internet service provider;
           fees may apply.
       6. Some features require Apple’s iCloud services; fees and
           terms apply.
Clean Install of Snow Leopard
Be sure to make a backup first because the following procedure will erase
the drive and everything on it.
     1. Boot the computer using the Snow Leopard Installer Disc or the Disc 1 that came
         with your computer. Insert the disc into the optical drive and restart the computer.
         After the chime press and hold down the "C" key. Release the key when you see
         a small spinning gear appear below the dark gray Apple logo.
     2. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue
         button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
         After DU loads select the hard drive entry from the left side list (mfgr.'s ID and drive
         size.) Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window. Set the number of
         partitions to one (1) from the Partitions drop down menu, click on Options button
         and select GUID, click on OK, then set the format type to MacOS Extended
         (Journaled, if supported), then click on the Apply button.
     3. When the formatting has completed quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed
         with the OS X installation and follow the directions included with the installer.
     4. When the installation has completed your computer will Restart into the Setup
         Assistant. Be sure you configure your initial admin account with the exact same
         username and password that you used on your old drive. After you finish Setup
         Assistant will complete the installation after which you will be running a fresh
         install of OS X. You can now begin the update process by opening Software
         Update and installing all recommended updates to bring your installation current.
Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.

Airport extreme setup. Airport express reset to factory settings. Light stays blinking amber. Utility won't recognize

AIrport extreme is setup. Airport express reset to factory settings. Light continues to blink amber. Utility will not recognize express to setup

Thanks. We understand that you want to use the Express to set up a separate wireless network with another modem, is that correct?
Unfortunately, we did not receive an answer to the questions that we asked above and have repeated again below regarding the AirPort Express and AirPort Utility. We asked these questions because not all versions of the AirPort Express are compatible with all versions of AirPort Utility.
What model of AirPort Express do you have? If you are not sure, please locate the model number on the side or bottom of the AirPort Express. It starts with an "A" followed by four numbers. It might be something like A1264 or A1392.
What version of AirPort Utility are you using? If you are not sure, please open AirPort Utility, click on the AirPort Utility menu in the upper left corner of the screen, and then click on About AirPort Utility.

Hard disk (C) OS+(D) Recovery+(E) HpTools.
After performing "reset factory state" (with HP Recovery Manager) I noticed the malfunction IE9 32bit.
Moreover, the absence of other software preinstalled (missing: Hp Hp setup-documentation-IE9 64bit).
When I tried a new reset, HP Recovery Manager to the voice system recovery (factory state) tells me:
(disabled: to restore the system, use recovery media)
Using Recovery DVD (in excellent condition),you receive the following error message:
"windows as encountered a problem comunicating with a device connected to your computer-This errorcan be cause by umpluggin a

The same happens with the F11 key during startup. Reset error.
The System Restore Microsoft does not resolve.
In Windows everything else seems to work and the hardware of the notebook has no problems.
The original dvd player has been replaced with a compatible; reads all the disks supported.
Only install MSE (I use only portable software).
There are no viruses or other malaware.
I performed procedures in hp support but nothing has changed.
You can find a solution?
Ciao e grazie

This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have no more 'answer because my computer had crashed complete.
I apologize.
Order the media why?
If discs created the first time the PC will not work. I suppose that does not solve the problem discs hp (I also read about a problem like mine. This problem has not been resolved with the media bought by HP).
I shot weeks the web and I finally found the appropriate procedure.
I made several attempts to solve the problem. But now I have succeeded.
1- Show Hidden Files \ protected
2- Enter with a program (es: file commander) in recovery partition and copy the file or files base.wim. My is about 18 Gb, 1 file.
3- We need a second PC and dvd
4- Follow a procedure described by internauta 37.
Search "Ripristinare portatile HP senza DVD e se l'HP Recovery Manager non funziona Internauta37"
E 'was for me a little complicated but in the end I have my hp to the state of factory and everything works perfectly.
Thank you all

thx so much

No, restoring the phone will install the latest iOS version.
If you go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, the phone will revert to its fresh out of the box state, but iOS will not be reloaded - you'll still have iOS 6. See if the problem is fixed, and if it is, load your data back manually.

Downloading latest update but now phone only shows charge cable and itunes symbol. Says I must reset to factory settings. Will I lose my data, pics, notes etc!

Downloaded latest update version it finished but then said verifying. Had to unplug and now it shows charge symbol and itunes logo and that i must reset to factory settings. I can not do any anything else with phone. Will I lose my notes, pics, data etc? Or can an Apple store fix?

It's in recovery mode. If it wasn't backed up before you started, the information is already gone. There is nothing left on the phone at this point.

RVS4000 resets to factory defaults

I just installed a new RVS4000 router (firmware V1.3.0.5), configured it to my LAN, saved the setting and created a configuration backup. 4 times now in less than a week I lost access to the internet only to find the router reset to factory defaults.
I can restore from the backup, but a day or 2 later and it resets again.
Any suggestions - or do you think it's a hardware problem and I should return it for replacement?

Please give this a try. First you need to upgrade to the latest firmware version(1.3.2.0). After upgrading to the latest version of the software the next step is to reset the device back to factory defaults. Then after the reset to factory, load the device manually. Next step after loading manually is to save your config file. This should take care of the reset back to factory default issue. If this does not take care of the problem please call into the support center. The number to call is 1-866-606-1866. Also please if you have to call in let the support center engineer know the steps you have already taken.
Thanks

My iPod will not be reset to factory settings

Hello I am new at this. And I'm not very computer-savvy. But I love my mac.
Here is my problem. I have updated my iTunes on my eMac to the latest version. I plug in my iPod (2nd generation, 3.1 I think) and although my iPod shows up on the desktop and on "my computer" iTunes says " may be corrupted. You must reset it to factory settings" I agree, and follow all the prompts to reset it, and when I do, it shuts iTunes down. So I have an updated iTunes and an older, empty iPod that I cannot reset to factory settings.
What can i do?
Thanks, Dehnerdog

For Mac computer
1. Open the disk utility, hope your iPod appears there (left hand side), highlight it
2. Go to Tab “Partition”, click either “Delete” or “Partition”, if fails, skip this step and go to 3
3. Go to Tab “Erase” , choose Volume Format as “MAC OS Extended (Journaled), and click Erase, again if fails, skip it and go to 4
4. Same as step 3, but open the “Security Options....” and choose “Zero Out Data” before click Erase. It will take 1 to 2 hours to complete.
5. Eject your iPod and do a Reset
6. Open the iTunes 7 and click “Restore”
Please note that you can have a try to skip the "zero out data" option

Why WRT610N Automatically Reset to Factory Defaults?

I have been using the WRT610 for few months, this router and others such as NAS, W1Max Modem, Switches power source connecto thru Belkin Power Surge Proctector. This few months I found many times the router automatically reset to factory defaults after power down and up. I have long history with Linksys products and this is the first ever router that automatic reset itself to factory defaults and I can find out why.
For quick power on off I always power down the entire power source at Belkin on/off switch and always wait at least more than 5 seconds, but many times after the power on/off I found cannot connect to the router and all I found are the router reset to factory defaults, any one can explain why and how?

I have finally got the time to upgrade the firmware and it turn out to be the same version as my router existing firmware. The reason I did that because the router reset itself to faultry setting again. Wonder anyone has such experience as mine? I roughly recorded it almost once per month the router reset by itself.
