Trouble restoring compaq to factory settings.. please help
I had a virus.. Hp sent cds.. They loaded fine( did it yesterday at about 4pm est) when it came to software loading it was stuck ont the page where it says don't turn of pc.. Yor pc restarts.. And messages may pop up... Says please wait with three green squares moving from left to right... After more than thirteen hours ( and on the advice of an hp agent) I redid the whole process again... Its been about five hours... Still going ... Any idea if this is " normal" any way to bypass this part etc.... An hp agent said he knew someone that took 48 hours to do a full factory restore... Does anyone know how long it should take?? Btw pc is about two months out of warranty so they won't help.. They did ask me to push F9 repeated to check hardware and it all passed.. I am frustrated and about to cry... Please help

I have a HP Probook 6445b how do I restore to factory settings please help thanks
How do I restore my HP Probook 6445b to factory settings
Hi:
If you have a recovery partition, boot up the PC and at the beginning of the HP welcome screen, tap the F11 key and you should be presented with the system recovery menu.
If that doesn't happen or you don't have a recovery partition you will need to order a set of quick restore disks for your PC by calling HP for the country you live in at the link below.
http://www8.hp.com/us/en/hp-information/summary/ww-contact-us.html
If there is a separate phone number for business PC's/notebooks, call that number.
Inform the customer services rep that you need a set of quick restore DVD's for your notebook.
You will be asked for the model number and serial number, so have those handy.
Cost ranges from free in countries such as the UK, to $10 in the USA/Canada, to more than $10 elsewhere.

Help Please, I sold my iphone 4 to my neighbor after I restored it to factory settings. I just bought a new iphone 5 and decided to check out the icloud "stuff' so that I can use 'find my iphone' because I have 2 kids. I went to check out my icloud on my imac and in the address bar put icloud.com then signed in, double clicked on mail went accounts then clicked on the gear in the right hand corner and there it was. My neighbor had his email in the icloud and there absolutely was no way to delete his info off of my new phone. I guess once the first person enters their info you absolutely cant get rid of it. you can get rid of aliases but just not the original one. WHY!! Is there any brilliant, wonderful,generous person out there that would know how to delete him from my account. The genius bar said that they've never seen this before. If someone can help I'm taking the info to the apple stores that I went to so that I can teach them how to do it. Of course, I will tell them who showed me. I give you my word.
As far as I know you can't delete the primary email address for an iCloud account. It's assigned when the account is created. But your neighbor wouldn't have been able to get into your iCloud account without your Apple ID and password. Are you sure the account wasn't still on your phone when you gave it to him?
You could migrate a copy of your data to a new iCloud account but I would still be concerned that someone else was using my old account, which presumably still has your data in it.
I'm fairly certain that you're going to have to have iCloud support help you sort this one out as they may have the ability to make changes to an existing account that users can't. Make an appointment with the genius bar at a nearby Apple store and have them take a look at it. If necessary, they should be able to contact iCloud support for you. -
im having trouble connecting my macbookpro to the tv. im using a mini display port to hdmi adapter, when i switch tv/video to hdmi on the tv nothing pops up, and i dont have the arrangement tap on the display settings, please help!
I've found that the order of operations, so-to-speak, can be important when hooking up mini display port to HDMI. I have the most success with the following operations in this order:
1) Plug HDMI cable into mini displayport adapter (the cable should not be plugged into either the TV or the computer at this point)
2) Plug the mini displayport end of your new super-cable to the computer.
3) Plug the HDMI end into your TV.
4) Switch inputs on your TV to the proper input.
5) If still nothing on the TV, try a different HDMI port on your TV.
Hopefully this helps! Good luck. -

Hi nandakishorekunuku,
I apologize, I'm a bit unclear on the exact nature of your question. If by restore, you mean restore it to factory settings (fully updated OS, erasing all current data), then you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful:
