Restoring factory settings on nokia x6
if i go to settings>phone>phone mgmt.>factory settings.
what exactly is deleted from the phone?
for example does it delete personal files from the phone memory?
does this affect the mass memory?
Greece Nokia X6 RM-559 v40.0.002

Hi, it will remove all your data from C (phone Memory) but won't affect your stuff on E/F. thats why it's advised you back up contacts and calender first NOT settings as these could cause a problem with software updates or start the problem you're trying to rectify again. Dialing *#7370# followed by 12345 does the same thing, and you will see it mentioned many many times on the forum. it returns phone to 'factory new' but requires you to set up phone again afterwards !
Good Luck

Is there any other solution to restore factory settings??
It will work definitly. But turn off the phone first and make sure you push all three buttons tight and turn on the phone. You have to keep them pressed until handshaking logo or pin enter is appear. I have use it so many time since my beloved 6600.

Restoring Factory Settings on Nokia 2310 HELP?
Hello,
I'm selling my nokia 2310 to someone I don't know very well, and would like ALL my settings returned to the factory settings before handing it over. I've manually deleted all my contact, call lists etc, but would like to know how to get everything back to the factory setting. The nokia manual isn't helpful at all.
I've tried turning off the phone, holding the call button, number 3 and the * key, while turning it back on, as someone suggested to me, but this didn't work. Just left me with twisted fingers!
Can someone please tell me how to restore the factory settings on the Nokia 2310 please?
Thank you in advance.you have cleaned it good enough. You need not worry about resetting it to factory settings.

Restoring Factory Settings on Nokia N80
If I restore the Factory setting on a Nokia N80 will that erase all of the pin codes and security codes that the previous owner put on there. I have tried to contact them and they will not reply to me.
No unfortunately it won't. A hard reset has been known to reset codes on some models so it may be worth a try. It will delete any data that you have added to the phone since you got it.
Hard reset:
1. Switch off the phone.
2. Hold down the following three buttons: Green (the call answer button), * button, and '3' button.
3. While holding these buttons, hold the power button for a second to switch on the phone.
4. Release when the phone shows the nokia hands logo or shows other signs of life like the language selection screen.
It may take a few attempts and very flexible fingers!
If it doesn't work you will have to take the phone to a nokia care point to get the codes reset. You will have to take proof of purchase with you.

first, you posted a symbian question in the maemo forum...you may have better luck there.
second, i hope you have a backup. the only way credible people would help you with this is if you posted a receipt showing the unit you have is paid for by you...and not stolen.

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 "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:
Apple: iTunes 11.1.1

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.

i selected restore factory settings on my ipod touch but now after restart it stuck on apple icon what will i do anybody help me out plz,even it's not appering on itunes on my p.c
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! -
Hi,

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)
