Returning to factory settings

Despite endless attempts to reconnect my Q10 to BB Link -- BB Link repeatedly says that my BlackBerry ID is not associated with my Q10 -- everything has failed. All I can now think of is returning my handset to its factory settings -- by eg entering a wrong password 10 times -- so that I effectively start all over again with what (I'm hoping) my laptop will see as a new BB phone. Does anyone here think that's a bad idea and if so why? Obviously I'd back up everything vital on my Q10 before I did that (and ys, I can apparently back it up despite the fact that BB Link doesn't recognise my device). I confess I'm at my wit's end.

Sony Vaio Laptop return to factory settings HELP

I have a Sony Vaio laptop that i bought 5 years ago. It is very slow and takes a while to get into the swing of things and I want it to run better, So I have a 1TB external hard drive and I was going to back up all the important files and restore it to factory settings, BUT... I dont have a disc with windows on or anything like that. So I've found that I can do a recovery partition. Will I be ok to do this without having Windows on disc etc etc? Would this help the laptop run faster and "be like new" ?

Hi ltc58!
Thank you for considering Sony Community!
Since your laptop is quite old and you're experiencing slow performance, performing a Full Format Recovery would be the best option, as long as the recovery partition of the unit is still intact and not corrupted. Yes, you can still try to format the computer. Please make sure to backup all of your important files on your external drive. The laptop will reinstall the Operating System and it will go back to its original factory settings.
Please follow one of these steps:
Using Assist Button: Shutdown the laptop and remove all peripherals except for AC adapter. Press Assist button. Select Start Recovery Wizard -> skip Rescue -> Start recovery.
Using F10 key: Shutdown the laptop and remove all peripherals except for AC adapter. Turn on the unit then immediately, keep tapping F10 key.
NOTES:
*If an Edit Boot Options screen appears, press the Enter key.
*If a Windows Boot Manager screen appears, select VAIO Recovery Environment and then press the Enter key.
In the VAIO Recovery Center window, under Choose a program, click to select Restore Complete System. Follow the on-screen instructions.
The process will take for about an hour. If none of these works, then the recovery partition is not accessible anymore. You may contact Sony Support based on your location to order a Recovery Disc or use a retail version of Operating System.
For further assistance, we kindly recommend visiting our Sony Global Web site for information on contacting the Sony Support Center in your region at http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/Support/.
Hope one of the process works. Good-luck.

Vincent

Help with backing up files, Toast, restoring comp to factory settings, etc.

Hello!
My computer (iBook G4, Panther, 10.3.9) has been acting a bit buggy lately, and I have way too much clutter and confusion (I have had this laptop for about three years now and when I first got it I wasn't really organized as far as computers go, so I didn't take good care of my files, I moved things around, things got deleted, etc). I know that you can 'restore to factory settings' which I would love to do, but of course I have to backup all my photos, music, documents, etc.
So here are my questions:
1. I have Roxio Toast Titanium, but I cannot figure out where to get the DATA for my song files, and my photo files. I have SO many files that I need to use the data instead of just burning disc after disc...that would take forever and I would only be able to do about 20 songs per disc, and I have something like 1765 songs or something. Anyway, do I just drag my folder that says 'itunes library' to Toast (under the 'data' tab), or do I have to actually find some different file that is purely the data? If so, where do I find that file? (sorry if that made no sense, I'm a little boggled...I've been trying to do this for about two days straight now).
2. Okay, so I have an up-to-date iPod, and I was wondering if, instead of backing up all the files in my iTunes library, I could just connect my iPod to my comp after I have 'returned to factory settings'. The only reason I ask this is because last time I updated my iPod, there were some song tracks that had been deleted from my library but were on my iPod still, and the computer asked me if I wanted to export those tracks from my iPod to my iTunes library. Does this not work if you have an entire library worthof stuff?
Anyway, my next, much more distant and complicated (ha) questions is this:
I have my iBook G4 Software install discs (one and two). Is that all I need ti install all the apps. again after returning my comp?
Alright, thank you for taking the time to read all that. Thanks for the help!

1. Unless you've told iTunes not to copy music you've added to the iTunes library, backing this folder up will back up your entire iTunes library. If applicable, deauthorize the machine before restoring the computer.
2. This will work with music purchased from the iTunes store, when the computer is authorized to play music purchased from the iTunes store account used to purchase that music. It will not work with music you've gotten from CDs or other sources.
3. Yes.

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

Cannot reinstate catalog after returning PC (Windows 7) to factory settings (because of worm infection). Catalog was backed up on external drive but not using PSE backup facility. Cannot find and *.tly file. Is this hopeless?

If you made backups of all of your photos and your catalog file using some third-party method (i.e. not using the PSE catalog backup command), then you should be able to restore everything.
Step 1. Put the photos in the EXACT SAME LOCATION as before. For example, if they were in subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents, then they must go into the exact same subfolders of C:\Users\<username>\Documents.
Step 2. Move the catalog file to wherever you want it to be, and then double-click on it.

If you don't know the passcode but have synced with iTunes before while the passcode was set on it, you can back it up then restore it in iTunes on the last computer it was synced with.
If you haven't synced it while the passcode was set on it, or if you don't have access to the last computer it was synced with, you'll have to force it into recovery mode and restore it as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808. Then restore to an existing backup if you have one; if not, you'll have to restore it as a new iPhone and start over.

Why wouldn't my iPod Have a reset option to reset to factory settings I believe I received a display iPod it came with games you can't play if you click on them it says for demonstration only and I can not download any apps or games wth do I do

i bought this 3 months ago didn't open it or anything I know big idiot but it was for my daughters bday today she opens it and stuck to the back of it was a yellow sticker saying display model. What..... Ok so we charge it she can't wait to download her little grs and play and nope it won't let me download any apps or games so I tried to sync it with her brothers and no it won't so I google it to find out how to reset to factory settings looked so easy should have known I go to settings then general and yep no reset option so I try the iTunes thing with the laptop nope didn't work I am ready to try the hammer you know where you continually beat the darn thing till you feel better ugh please any suggestions would be so appreciated

You should be able to force it into recovery mode and restore it. Provided, that is, that it's not also activation locked. If there's an iCloud account set up on it with Find my iPod enabled, you're pretty much hosed.
You may want to try contacting Amazon to see if you can return it. Was it actually sold by Amazon, or by a 3rd party? Amazon is getting to be as bad as eBay any more with all the 3rd party sellers.
Amazon is NOT an authorized source for any Apple products. What you got was, as you have already figured out, a demo model. It was probably either liquidated along with the rest of the inventory from a brick and mortar retailer that went bust or possibly even stolen.

How do I reset an IPad 2 to factory settings without access to itunes account?

I bought a used IPad 2 from a rent to own store. When the Ipad was returned to store, the customer service rep did not check to see if Ipad was functioning properly and that customer info had been deleted off Ipad to protect that persons info that may be on it. We found out after I purchased, that it wasn't done. After checking their records, they had a hard time getting in contact with customer for either payment or returning item. After 6 months of no contact, he returned ipad. The customer left the passcode on it. From what I can tell, their info/apps/programs are still on it. The store has made numerous attempts to contact customer to get passcode so it can be reset to factory. But no luck. Part of the reason I haven't returned to store is I bought the Ipad while living in Canada. I am now in US. I would like to use it. Returning it is an option. and getting a full refund. Just a little more hassle to deal with.
Is there a way to reset Ipad to Factory settings without passcode on lock screen, or without itunes that it may or may not have been synced to? I do NOT want to have access to any information that the previous owner had on it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

If you are trying to activate an iPad or iPhone and it is asking for a previous owners Apple ID and password, you have encountered the Activation Lock. This is a security feature that prevents thieves from setting up and using a stolen or lost iPad or iPhone. You have no alternative. You must contact the previous owner to get permission to use the device. If you cannot contact the previous owner return the device to where you bought it and get a refund. You will never be able to activate the device and no one can help you do it. Your best bet is to return the iPad, get a refund and purchase a new iPad from a reputable source.
