Restore "Out-of-the-Box" settings?

I recently bought a used 8830 WE and the Brick Breaker game and Memo Pad are both gone.  Is there any way to restore these?

First of all, save all the files you want to keep (photos, documents etc.) on a separate drive or in the cloud. Make sure you are connected to the Internet. After that, follow these steps:
Restart your Mac. Once it restarts and the grey screen appears, press and hold the Command and R keys.
Select Disk Utility and click Continue.
Select your startup disk on the left and click the Erase tab.
Choose Mac OS Extended (Journaled) from the Format menu, enter a name, and then click Erase.
Select Reinstall OS X, click Continue, and then follow the instructions on your screen.

  • Resetting Macbook to out of the box settings

    Hi, Can anyone tell me if its possible to reset my Macbook without having to run the install CD?
    In other words I am selling it but want to upgrade it to 10.5 but I want to set it back to the out-of-the box settings... I hope I am being clear?
    Thanks

    You need to use the install CD in order to erase and reinstall a clean Mac OS X.
    Also, if you used iTunes on this MacBook, launch iTunes. Select Store from the Menu Bar, then click Deauthorize Computer...

  • How do i restore my macbook pro to its out of the box settings?

    Hi folks,
    I recently got a new macbook pro and used Time Machine to import all of my data and settings from my old macbook into my new one. I am now realizing that there is a bunch of stuff on my old hard drive that I don't want on my new one. What I'd like to do is start over -- wipe all of the stuff I've imported onto my new computer so it's fresh and clean again, and then import just some select files -- instead of my entire hard drive. Any suggestions?
    Many thanks!

  • Out of the box iphone dfu restore

    Hello guys,
    Soon ill receive my fist iphone ever, its gonna be 4s, so i wanted to ask for a little bit of help from pro users
    I saw this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tdwz1w47HqE
    And as i dont have an iphone 4 to compare it to 4s for any speed related issues shown in this video.
    I want to make and DFU restore or just basic restore just to be sure everything works as it should, but i dont know which one is better.I suppose it should be DFU,
    but to be sure, i wanted to ask you guys for recommendation.
    Thats it for 1st question, another one would be if i should do that straight out of the box without even turning on device, or should i turn in on,activate it set up some things and after that do DFU restore or basic restore.
    Im looking forward to any helpful comments and i want to apologize for my bad english
    With best regards
    Radim.

    Well it's completely up to you, but I suggest that you activate your phone out of the box and then DFU restore. But honestly, iphone 4S should be clean installed out of the box. Apple doesn't put junks or trials into their OS out of the box. Only Microsoft vendors does that (HP, Toshiba, Dell, Sony, etc)

  • Restore iMac to "out of the box"

    I have replaced my iMac desktop. New one is up and running.
    I would now like to restore my old one to "out of the box" condition to give to my aunt.
    I tried Command R on start up and after the system was reinstalled, have found that my information is still on there.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you

    Follow these instructions:
    What to do before selling or giving away your Mac
    In addition to the above:
    If you enabled FileVault, disable it in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
    "Deauthorize" your iTunes account. Same for Audible if you have one.
    System Preferences > iCloud > de-select "Back to My Mac" and "Find my Mac".
    Sign out of iCloud. Select "Delete from Mac" when it appears.
    Then:
    Start your Mac with its original System Installation DVD (if your Mac shipped with one) or OS X Recovery (if it didn’t).
    Remove any Open Firmware password if you created one: select Firmware Password Utility from the Utilities menu and remove it.
    Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    Remove any partitions you may have created.
    Select the Mac's hard disk icon, then select the "Erase" tab.
    Select the "Security Options" button and erase the disk.
    The more "securely" you erase the disk, the longer it will take. The fastest method is sufficient since all but the most expensive techniques and equipment will be able to recover securely erased data.
    When it finishes, quit Disk Utility.
    Select Install Mac OS X from the Utilities menu. Do not create any user accounts.
    When it finishes, shut down the computer.
    If you want to install the bundled apps that were included with your Mac, restart by using your Applications DVD and install the bundled apps.
    Applicable to selling outside your family or others close to you: Don't forget to include any DVDs that came with your iMac, your AppleCare certificate if you bought it, printed documentation, even the box if you still have it.
    Execute a bill of sale showing the Mac's serial number.
    Once no longer in your possesion, remove the Mac from your devices in My Support Profile.

  • I have a imac 21.5 mid 2010 10.6.6 snow leopard osx.  how do I restore to out-of-the-box condition? No restore dvd came with it.  thank you

    Hello,
    I have an imac 21.5 mid 2010 and want to restore it to out-of-the-box condition.  It came with no dvds.
    thanks,
    budarobe

    That model should have come with a DVD for 10.6.3 or .4
    Call apple support and request the DVD for your model.  (The retail SL DVD won't help in your case as it's too old).

    How do you restore a MacBook Pro back to the original out of the box state

    Click here and follow the instructions. If the computer originally shipped with Mac OS X 10.6.8 or earlier, when you reach step 5, insert its original disk, restart with the C key held down, use the Disk Utility to erase the internal drive, and install a fresh OS.

  • How do I start over and bring my MacBook Pro to a brand new out of the box state?

    I have a MacBook Pro with Retinal Display purchased in June 2012.  I have backed up once using Time Machine. How do I put it back to the brand new just purchased out of the box state? Any ideas?  I have done this with windows computers, but never a Mac.

    To restore your MacBook to factory settings, you have to use Internet Recovery. Follow the steps:
    1. Press Command, Option and R keys while your Mac is starting, and open Disk Utility.
    2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. This can take hours because your computer has to download OS X from the App Store.
    After restoring the computer to factory settings, open App Store > Purchases to download iMovie, iPhoto and GarageBand

  • IPod Touch 1st Generation doesn't work directly out of the box?

    I just bought a first generation iPod touch and first things first I plug it into my PC. Nothing happens on the iPod and on iTunes I immediately get a message saying "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must restore it before it is usable with iTunes." So I hit OK and click yes to the message about restoring it to its factory settings, considering that's how it should be anyway since I had literally just taken it out of the box. I finally get a reaction from the iPod, and it's a solid white screen followed by the apple logo, and then for about 5 minutes iTunes says it's "prepaying the iPod for restore..." followed by the error message "The iPod "iPod" could not be restored, an unknown error occured. (1604)" Then the iPod disconnects from iTunes and proceeds to be frozen at the Apple logo screen. I have looked at all the troubleshooting walkthroughs and none of them work because I have never seen a screen on the iPod other than the Apple logo, it seems as though the only way to fix this is if I just take it back and get a replacement

    Hello and Welcome to Apple Discussions. 
    Is the device brand new? - the Second Generation have been around for some time now so I hope you got a good price on it.
    Have a read of this article which explains how to deal with the 1604 error:

  • Malware on New Helix (out of the box) / Need Help Accessing Recovery Partition

    Hi,
    I'm working on a problem for my folks.  My dad got my mom a brand spanking new Helix (not exactly a cheap laptop).  
    It came with two pieces of malware:
    1.  Windows 8
    2.  AstroMenda
    Since I can't do anything about #1 and #2 is a serious PITA and the machine is new out of the box (really), I thought I'd just restore the machine from the recovery partition.
    However, I cannot seem to get the machine to boot to recovery mode.
    Enter doesn't seem to do anything (that is the only keystroke suggested by the splash screen).
    F12 gets me a boot menu but I don't see any recovery options.  Selecting the Windows Boot Manager or the Hard Drive itself results in Windows 8 booting.
    F1 gets me the BIOS.  Though I imagine I might be able to set the recovery partition (which #?) to the #1 boot option, I absolutely should not have to do that.
    Shift doesn't do anything (suggested elsewhere on these forums).
    F2 doesn't do anything.
    F11 doesn't do anything.
    Esc doesn't do anything.
    My older lenovo T61p had the ThinkVantage.  I always thought that was pretty goofy but now I'm wishing I had a ThinkVantage.
    BTW, Lenovo Support was USELESS.  They told me to return the machine and transferred me to returns but since my folks were on vacation when it arrived, we are outside the 30 day window, returns wouldn't do an exchange.  They opened a case with Customer Advocacy (never heard of that) but told me I wouldn't hear anything for 3-5 business days and there is no number, website, or email you can call to check your "Customer Advocacy" claim.  That sounds a lot like GFY.

    Hello.
    Open up the Charms Bar - Settings - Click the Power Icon - Hold either Shift button down and press Restart. This will open up the Advanced Startup menu.

  • In search of assistance learning how to modify the mail message from an out of the box SP2010 approval workflow.

    So, I have found the article
    http://punaro.com/2012/01/derek/modifying-a-sharepoint-2010-workflow-email/comment-page-1/ which appears to walk through the process of modifying an out of the box workflow's mail message.
    However, there is a basic problem that I run into before I get started.
    I am logged into the system as a regular user (ie not a farm admin, etc.).
    I do, however, have full control on the site on which I am working.
    I create a custom list.
    I create a simple one step approval - sharepoint 2010 out of the box workflow.
    I start SharePoint designer and give it the URL of the list. It opens up and I see the various objects on the left side of the screen.
    I click right on the Workflows object - which is where the article says I will find the ability to copy and modify the workflow.
    All I see is "open", "open in a new tab" and "Pin".
    I selecdt open in a new tab - and I get a blank screen labeled workflows that says "There are no items to show in this view".
    So, I click on Lists and Libraries, then on the name of my custom list.
    When the list displays, the Workflows section of the page has a "Modified Workflow" displayed.
    When I right click on it, no menu is shown. When I click on the modified workflow, I get the workflow settings page for that workflow.
    I am trying to figure out how to create the copy of the workflow so that I can modify one of the mail messages in SharePoint designer.
    Is there someone who has some advice on how to find this copy and modify option?  Or perhaps a web site, web forum, article series, or book covering the topic?
    Thank you! 

    Hi lwvirden,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to modify the OOB approval workflow in SharePoint Designer.
    After opening the site in SharePoint Designer, just click Workflows in the left panel and then the workflows in the site will load in the right part.
    If you want to copy and modify the OOB approval workflow, then you need to right the approval workflow
    Approval – SharePoint 2010 under Globally Reusable Workflow. After that you will see the
    Copy and Modify button.
    Best regards.
    Thanks
