Is it possible to restore a 3TB Fusion hard drive to its original configuration on the imac late 2012?

Hi,
i have a Late 2012 imac running on Mavericks. I have been struggling to get boot camp to partition my drive in preparation for Windows dual boot.
i found this doc:
http://www.twocanoes.com/support/winclone/installing-windows-on-a-boot-camp-part ition-on-a-3-tb-fusion-drive
I proceeded to follow but had no success in the final results. I decided to try and revert my Fusion drive back to it original configurations. (one drive)
After following the docs above i had 3 partitions on my hard drive:
Macintosh HD
WIN
MacBonus
I then tried to remove my WIN partion and it turned blue indicating the drive was full. I am now unable to remove this partition i also deleted the MacBonus partition and now that space seems to have completely gone from my mac and i do not seem to be able to repartition this remaining space.
I basically have made a pigs ear out of this and am very confused as to what to do.
Can i revert my Fusion drive back to its factory settings and then re-install a fresh copy of my OS Mavericks on to it?
Any feed back from you pros would be really appreciated
many thanks Paul

Actually, I got a solution from Apple Care's senior advisors, and wanted to see if it'd still be useful to share =]
Here it is:
Go to Terminal under OS X Internet Recovery (Cmd-Opt-R)
Enter - diskutil CoreStorage list
Identify disk's numeric serial number
Enter - diskutil CoreStorage delete <serial number>
After this, open Disk Utility again and a box should pop up asking if you want to fix the drives in red text.
Fix, then reinstall OS X.

Restoring Original Configuration

I synched up my new Blackberry with my old one for the address book. It replaced the new programs on my new phone with the old programs, e.g. the gps program, etc. Is it possible to restore the original settings?

You can reinstall the operating system, I'm doubtful a security wipe would help you.

Camera roll empty but shows 6.1 gb. Restored to original settings after backing up. When I restored the backup camera roll still shows 6.1 gb and is till empty. I imagine that the backup contains some corruption

Hi cfgolf,
Thanks for contacting Apple Support Communities. I agree with your assessment that something is going on with that previous backup. If you restored from that backup and the issue continues, I would recommend restoring and Set up as new. Before you restore, make sure you Transfer content so that you can sync it back after setting up as new. The instructions on how to Transfer content and Set up as new are both listed in this article.
iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4137
2. Transfer content
Before you erase your device, take a few minutes to transfer your content from your device to your computer to ensure that all your critical data is safe.
6. Set up as new
Complete the setup assistant. When prompted to set up your device, select Set Up as New iPhone and tap Next to continue.
Skip the Apple ID sign-in, in case the original issue was related to any of your content on iCloud.
Note: After setting up as new, you will need to enter the Visual Voicemail password for iPhone (on carriers that support Visual Voicemail). If you've forgotten the password, contact your carrier to help you reset it.
After erasing and setting up as a new device, your device is now in a factory configuration. Test to determine if erasing and setting up as a new device resolved the issue. Content on the device may have caused unexpected behavior.
If the issue is still present, you may want to contact Apple Support.
If the issue is now resolved, sync one type of content at a time back to the device. For example, if you had an issue playing music, add songs from iTunes and confirm they will play. If your contacts weren't loading successfully, add the contacts back. After each sync, test to see if the issue has returned.
Cheers,
-Joe

IPad is asking me to do original configuration but my old wallpaper is still there.

Sometimes restarting it will do the trick. If that hasn't worked, though, you need to use a computer to restore it. The folks at an Apple store can help or you can use a friend's computer.

Unwanted Resetting to Original Configuration

For some unknown reason, my MacBook has a tendency to reset to its original configuration when I start up. This has only happened twice in the 1.5 years I've owned it. What I mean by original configuration is that my desktop background disappears, my stickies disappear, anything I have on the desktop disappears (or is erased - can't find it via spotlight), the dashboard size resets to its original size, etc. Someone please help me. I'd really like to recover the things on my desktop. Sorry, I'm not even sure how to check what version of Tiger OS I'm running. Thanks, Rich

Hi there:
I've read your question a few times and wonder if you've
ever used Disk Utility's 'repair disk permissions' in the
time you've owned your computer; as recommended both
before and after any software or system updates, upgrades
or installs... If so, have you booted up in SafeBoot mode,
then repaired those same disk permissions in D.U. & then
restarted the computer normally?
Do you have and use Titanium Software's downloadable &
free-running donation-ware called OnyX? (use Automation
and restart the computer; check all boxes in this selection.)
This problem sounds like it may be due to a permissions
or user account error; but it could be something more. In
fact, I was reading a post by BDAqua in another thread
and he suggested something there (I forgot what, now)
to someone, whose issue wasn't quite the same as yours.
If you happened to rename your user account or computer
that could be behind the issue you are facing. How to restore
a user account or how to rename one, are searchable; and to
backward research those after the fact, if that is the case,
can help resolve the issue and also know how to do it right.
{Some of these things have specific rules and to just "do it"
may really do things unexpectedly out of the ordinary to your
Mac. So, that is what I don't know. What you did to cause this.}

Can you help me to retrieve my applications. In iTunes I accidentally clicked the Restore button in the Summary screen. It restored the original settings and I lost all my applications and don't know if it is possible to retrieve them.

All apps on an iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch should be in your iTunes library on your computer.
You can re-download all 3rd party apps and you won't be charged again for a purchased app as long as you use the same iTunes account to re-download the apps that was used to purchase the app originally.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
Do this with iTunes on your computer. After you have re-downloaded every app one by one, select Sync Apps under the Apps tab for the device's sync preferences along with selecting the apps below that you want transferred to the device followed by a sync to re-install the apps on the device.

HT201250 Will using AirPort Utility to "restore to original settings" make you have to re-back up your computer's files on a Time Capsule?

Will using AirPort Utility to "restore to original settings" make you have to re-back up your computer's files on a Time Capsule?

The advantage is CCC has built in routines that "bless" (see the Terminal.app command "bless") the
os x installation so it will boot properly on the new volume it is being installed on.
Disk Utility simply copies (restores) files from one volume to another. Many times this works just fine.
Sometimes it won't boot afterwards. Most of the time (as long as there are no system files missing
or corrupted) a person may "bless" the drive and restore it to working condition.
CCC is not a "magical" application, it is in fact a front end to applications that already exist separately
in OS X (asr, hdiutil, diskutil, bless, etc.).
It doesn't matter to me how you do it. It's your time not mine. Everyone should spend some time
behind the command line in terminal. I do many tasks using the command line, including and not
limited to complete system restores, backing up data, disk partitioning, installing software, disk
repair, permissions repair, ACL management, restoring data, managing disk images, network
management, user management, file management, etc. Many people are fearful of the command
line. I feel just the opposite, I'm fearful without it.

My toolbars are mostly empty. What happened? How do I restore the original settings?

My toolbars are mostly empty. What happened? How do I restore the original settings?

* If, on Windows, in Firefox 3.6 the menu bar is hidden then press and hold the Alt key down or press F10, that should make the "Menu Bar" appear
* Go to "View > Toolbars" and check-mark "Menu Bar" with a click on it to make that permanent. See [[Menu bar is missing]]).
* Make sure that you have the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" visible: "View > Toolbars"
* If items are missing then see if you can find them in the "View > Toolbars > Customize" window
* If you see the item in the Customize window then drag it back from the Customize window to one of the toolbars.
* If, in "View > Toolbars > Customize", you do not see that item then click the "Restore Default Set" button

How to restore the original default ip5 ringtones lost due to upgrade to ios 7.0

Is there a solution to restore the original default iPhone 5 ringtones lost due to upgrade to IOS 7.0?

If I upgrade to iOS 8.0.2, my iPhone will not work.
Why do you believe that?

I was trying to sync my iPhone 3GS and it is now stuck, saying I'm in recovery mode. I am thoroughly confused now after researching online. I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help!

I'm scared to restore to original settings as I don't want to lose everything, apps, contacts, etc. Help! Is there a way to get it all back if I do restore?? Can I my stuff back through iCloud??

Bad news first and we hope for good news as well
The device is in Recovery Mode and the data has already been deleted, you need to restore the device with iTunes in order to get the iPhone back into a working state
When the iPhone is restored you can then restore it from your latest backup using iTunes or iCloud and regain some, if not all, of your data.
The good news part only happens if you had a backup.

On the iPhone 5s, performing any edit on a black and white photo will render a strong purple tone. This occurs in any app under the current iOS. Sadly, every photo must then be re-edited to restore the original black and white.

Hi everyone, I'm the one from the example above posted by @frankensinatra and I can confirm having the same problem.
But I want to add something. The problem is not only related to black and white but to every picture, and it can be worse or not depending on the range of colors involved. Apparently, there is a shift between some RGB value that is going to remove some green producing a magenta look.
I've started contacting some developer about this problem and some of them is trying to understand what's going on.
In my case, the problem came up when I bought the new iPad mini Retina. I didn't have this problem with the previous iPad mini. Same OS for both devices.
The photo you see in the link above is a perfect example of what happens just going from one app to another and saving to the camera roll. In that case, the situation doesn't change if I send that picture from within the app by email, or to another app using the "open in..." feature. It keeps being purple. And the problem can be reproduced all the time.
Have some of you noticed the same?

Data Origin Configuration path in IMG for Plant Maintenance

PM Experts,
Could anyone tell me the path where in IMG the "Data origin configuration lies" under Plenat maintenance and Customer services and the steps to be followed for deactivating this functionality. I do not know how this Data transfer across objects is happening..
Is this standard SAP behavior of the system.
Thanks in advance

The option u said me , I tried in DEV environment but it doesnt work like that. Evry time I chnaged the FL of an equipment, I click on the Instal with transfer button and find that the radio buttons in the screen for data transfer are not according to my previous set up but accoring to its default setting as it was. Also If I try doing the FL Change for same equipment also, evry time I do the change , the radio buttons arrrangements are the same.
So it means we have no other way out, rather follow the selection methodof reqd fields everytime we transfer data.
Murad Shaikh
Thanks in advance..
