Restore factory configuartion Macintosh SE

Hi! I'm trying to restore the factory settings from my Macintosh SE. I don't have my floppy working and I bought a hard drive with system 7 Installed but I have 4 simm of 256 kb and can't use system 7. is there any way to restore factory configuration settings in this mac To have again system 6 And use it?
I Prefear avoid buy ram to use the system 7, most of the times i have upgraded the ram a lot of problems came out.
Thanks in advance,

Carlos,
One way could possibly be the following:
What about moving the SCSI hard drive in the SE to the LC III to begin with? Remove the old existing LC III hard drive and install the other one. Then install a System 7.1 onto the hard disk in the LC III (assuming that you have modified the system disk set with the required system enabler). It may be sufficient to just drag-copy the system folder from the System 7.1 Disk Tools to the hard disk. Restart. This should mean that the LC III contains a hard drive with a working System 7.1, and that the floppy drive is free for transfers.
Next, copy the System 6 floppy disks to the hard disk inside the LC III. This should result in separate folders for each floppy. Make sure that one folder contains a valid System 6 system folder.
Still on the LC III, rename the System 7.1 System Folder (call it something like "OLD System Folder") and move the System suitcase out of it (place the System suitcase in an empty new folder on the hard disk). This should mean that there is a fully functional hard disk with System 6 (but this may also be the weak point, since we cannot know for sure that any blessing of the system folder will last). Look upon all this as an experiment.
Finally switch off the LC III and move the hard drive back to the SE.

My iPod 5 will not sync ANY music. All my music was on prior to syncing. The sync deleted all my music. I can now no longer add any music. I have the "sync music" checked. Restoring factory settings did not work. Any thoughts?

When you synced with iTunes It would have tried to replace the music on the iPhone with what is on the computer. which is what happens when you sync with iTunes.
If the songs are purchased you can re-downloaded them Pretty easily. You mentioned that you still see the songs and that you could not play them. Do they have a Cloud symbol next to them? If so this means that you can download them but that they are not on the device.

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6. In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings. After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "manage local device storage usage." How?

I just updated my iPhone 4 to iOS6. In the process, I ran into a problem and had to restore factory settings. After syncing the phone, I see that 218 apps need to be updated. When selecting "update all," it says "Cannot Download. There is not enough available local storage to download these items. You can manage your local device storage usage in Settings."
How can this be the case when I haven't changed any apps from before updrading to iOS6, and I don't have any music yet on the phone? Why is it telling me there is not enough local space?

Hi RileyAvaCadenRiver,
If you recently updated your iPhone to iOS7, you will need to update iTunes on your computer to iTunes 11.1 or newer for it to correctly recognize the iPhone. You may find the following link helpful:

Is there ANY way possible to MANUALLY restore factory settings for an ipod classic, FROM the device ITSELF (as opposed to restoring from iTunes or forcing a reformat elsewhere)?

I have 3 iPods: 1 Touch and 2 Classics. The Touch and 1 of the Classics are both working fine; the other Classic is not showing up in iTunes, My Computer, or in Device Manager. While I CAN do a simple reset, it accomplishes nothing, and I am UNABLE to get the faulty Classic into "disk mode".
Based on what I've encountered thus far, I have a suspicion that my faulty Classic somehow thinks it's formatted for the Mac, as I DO see the serial # and I do NOT see "Windows Format" in the About screen on the ipod itself. Is that even POSSIBLE? I have never used a Mac, but that's what the documentation I've read on this Support Site have lead me to believe.
The faulty Classic will charge ONLY in a wall charger; it clearly wants nothing to do with my laptop as it refuses to stand up and be recognized in iTunes or in My Computer....why??!!?? I DID try all of the other obvious troubleshooting items; I tried different USB ports, different cords, different laptops, and even different ipods.....BUT....all is well with everything else BUT for this pain-in-the-@$$ ipod.
IDEALLY.....since my ipod refuses to make itself available for me to "restore factory settings" via iTunes, the way it SHOULD be handled....., I'm wondering if there are any hackers out here that know of a way to FORCE a MANUAL restoration of factory settings of the ipod, via super-secret "key strokes" on the ipod itself (and not via the iTunes software that is curently useless for this particular ipod)....?
Thanks in advance to anyone who can help! Without your assistance, my Classic ipod remains an expensive door stop and/or paper weight. It's behavior at this point is nothing shy of rude and inconvenient!

There is no way to restore/reformat the device without connecting it to a PC or Mac.
Have you checked the iPod's dock connector for signs of bent/damaged/corroded pins that could prevent a full connection with your PC? If there is any lodged debris, take a can of compressed air to it to blow it all out.

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 to Restore Factory Settings on a Mac?

How to Restore Factory Settings on a Mac OS X 10.6.8?
I have been told you can do this without the Installation CD. I also do not remember the installation CD when i got the laptop. If it's possible then please someone let me know! if not then how can i get a new CD to do this?
my computer keeps freezing on me at random times, and i have tried taking the laptop to my college tech support and also Best Buy and they said they can't do anything and that i need to try resetting the mac.

You may not remember the installer disks but they came in the box. Your profile shows you are running 10.6.6 Snow Leopard. To restore back to factory settings you need those disks. That said to go that route may be unnecessry. Stay away from Best Buy tech people. They know nothing. Without the disks you do a repair disk to see if that helps:
Start up your computer in single-user mode to reach the command line.
Note: If necessary, perform a forced restart as described in the Emergency Troubleshooting Handbook that came with your computer. On desktop computers, you can do this by pressing the reset/interrupt button (if there is one) or holding down the power button for several seconds. On portable computers, simultaneously press the Command-Control-power keys. If your portable computer doesn't restart with this method, you may need to reset the Power Manager.
At the command-line prompt type:
/sbin/fsck -fy
Press Return. fsck will go through five "phases" and then return information about your disk's use and fragmentation. Once it finishes, it'll display this message if no issue is found:
** The volume (name_of_volume) appears to be OKIf fsck found issues and has altered, repaired, or fixed anything, it will display this message:
***** FILE SYSTEM WAS MODIFIED *****
Important: If this message appears, repeat the fsck command you typed in step 2 until fsck tells you that your volume appears to be OK (first-pass repairs may uncover additional issues, so this is a normal thing to do).
When fsck reports that your volume is OK, type reboot at the prompt and then press Return.
Your computer should start up normally and allow you to log in.

Trying To Restore Factory Settings

(Apologies for this double post, trying to find my way to the right forum)
Hi all,
My iPod has been getting worse over the last month, and now won't play anything.
I thought it might be time to wipe it clean and restore factory settings. I downloaded updater from here:
http://www.apple.com/ipod/download/
Ran the updater. It seems to have erased everything on the iPod, without installing the update. The iPod no longer mounts on desktop. iPod screen seems to be asking me to plug iPod in to wall socket. iPod was fully charged before update procedure.
I just want to wipe iPod clean of any corruption, install the latest iPod software, and then will reimport tunes.
I've always charged iPod battery from iMac, don't think we have wall adapter, and don't understand why it is needed now.
My best guess is I have the iPod with Clickwheel. iPod was a gift from friend, no packaging. Manual does not identify iPod.
Basically, I seem to have killed my iPod, and will surely be grateful for any advice. Thanks!

Thanks for your report Ken, maybe we can figure it out if we work together.
I'm all Mac here, so Vista may not be the issue.
Do you have the actual wall adapter? I don't have it, and never needed it, but looks like I'll have to try to buy one to get past this.
Regrettably, the manual is worthless on this issue.
As best I can figure it, the restore process wiped the ipod clean, but didn't reinstall the needed software. So now the ipod can't talk to the computer?
Dunno. We need the help of somebody who knows more than us, or knows where to find such help.
Thanks to anybody who can point us in the right direction!

HP recovery freezes when I prep restoring factory image

A user had the recovery disks for my laptop, and tried to run them to restore his laptop to factory settings. But, after putting in the second disk, it frozen and was stuck at 0%. According to the prompts from software, Hard drive’s windows partition was formatted, and files were restored to the hard drive. But the progress was 0%, or prompt will be “Please wait”, and cancel buttons are grayed out.
This phenomenon is seldom, but some users that encounter such problem will be very angry. How to fix it? Is there other easier ways to restore factory image.
How to solve such problem?
There are some reasons causing this problems.
laptop is not connected to power adaptor. During recovery, there is no power to supply computer and it shuts down automatically.
Restoring discs haven’t burned correctly.
The hard drives, such as CD/ DVD burner or other things, are damaged.
In general, the reasons are complicated, the best way is to send computers to check what the problem is. Of course, if you just want to restore system image, you can use the easier way-HP recovery manager.
Use HP recovery manager to restore system factory image
Being a branded computer, HP computers are equipped with recovery partitions, and can usually be recovered to factory settings without the use of external recovery media (such as discs or USB drives). When computer goes wrong, You don’t need the discs to restore HP, but use HP recovery manager to restore system. After computer boots, please tap F11 immediately to bring up the option for factory image, and you can enter HP recovery manager, which can help you to restore system factory image.
Whether your computer happens problem or not,based on suggestions from netizens, onekey recovery is more simpler and easier than recovery disk. If you don’t make a system backup, you can download a free Windows 7 image of the same version that you use from here and burn to a DVD. Use your activation code on the computer stick to activate.
A easier way to restore system factory image
Besides the built-in recovery software, maybe the third-party recovery software is powerful as well. AOMEI OneKey Recovery can totally meet your demand that backup and restore system easily. After you buy computer, you can backup system with AOMEI OneKey Recovery, which can help you restore factory setting, once your computer breaks down in the future.

I've been trying to fix my sister in law's ipad mini. When I plug the ipad mini into itunes it say's it needs to restore factory settings.

It won't turn on and the screen just shows that I need to plug it into itunes.
Any help would be greatly appreciated

I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes. Now it's dad and husband, every time! Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails.
And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered". So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point. I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions. (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck. I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

Formatting HD/restore factory settings?

I have an Imac G3 500mhz, currently running panther. I have lost my panther disks, however i have tiger disks. I want to either use the tiger disks to erase the HD and/or load tiger, or erase everything accet panther from the HD. However the imac does not have a DVD drive. I have an external DVD drive, but that only turns on when the imac is running - disabling me from booting up from the Tiger disks. Is there another way to load the tiger disks, possibly through my 20" core duo, or restore factory settings on the imac without a disk?
Would there be a way of delaying startup, so that the external DVD drive had a change to startup, and then run the tiger disk?
Thanks in advance, Feron.
Imac 20" Intel Pentium 4 Core Duo Mac OS X (10.4.6)

PowerPC Macs (like the iMac G3) can't boot from USB drives - so that may well be the issue. Intel Macs can boot from USB drives.
① You could exchange your Tiger DVD for set of CDs.
or
② Using a 6 pin to 6 pin firewire cable connect the two machines together. Place the Tiger Retail install DVD into the iMac Intel.
Go to  > System Preferences > Start-Up Disk > and click "Target Disk Mode". The iMac Intel will boot with a purple screen with a yellow Firewire logo.
Then restart/turn-on the iMac G3. Hold down the Option key (marked as 'alt' on many UK keyboards) and select the Tiger Install DVD and click the right arrow. (It takes longer than you think it should to load this screen so bear with it - it's checking for networked drives.)
Then the iMac G3 should start up with the Tiger DVD and lead you through installation. Remember using this retail disk you won't get any of the bundled OS 9 applications that came with the iMac G3 in the first place.
Remember you must use a Black coloured Tiger disk. The grey one that came with your iMac Intel won't work.
