New iMac to factory settings reset

How to reset a new iMac to factory settings?  Something odd began to happen with the cursor the thought of waiting time after a summary typo Web page the first day or the day I got this machine. I would like to start all over again from factory settings, but already failed after attempting to amother post order. I think I started in recovery mode (I had to enter my information of wifi at the start) but ended up to back the user regular signin page.  I stopped here until I saw something else. I have 25 years of Windows machines, so I'm pretty clueless here.  Thank you!

  • Try to use eRecovery for reset to factory settings: is there a way to backup programs, games, documents?

    original title: try to use eRecovery for reset to factory settings...

    Hello

    I press alt and f10 when you start the computer, however the factory settings reset deletes all data on c. This I mean all software, programs, games, documents, etc...

    Is it possible to back up such things as after resetting to factory settings process I can restore them? BTW, I'm using a Standard account, my pc has no administrator account, and it's actually the reason why I want to reset to factory settings.

    Thank you!

    Hey redhalls

    You are right

    a factory recovery erases the hard drive clean of everything

    read the information on the backup of your data first below

    but you cannot save installed programs

    they will have to reinstalled from the original or redownloaded media

  • Pavilion 15-ab043sa: cannot reset to factory settings after the upgrade computer laptop brand new 10 Windows

    I bought 2 new laptops, they seem to be special models not listed is not in the HP support site, purchased from Currys PC World in the United Kingdom.

    First HP Pavilion 15-ab045sa laptop computer 15.6 "-red, upgraded to windows 10 perfectly well and I made a backup of the system while I studied the creation of recovery media (this info must be printed with the laptop in the box, rather than letting the user have to find BTW)."

    The other a HP Pavilion 15-ab043sa laptop computer 15.6 "-blue, for my parents, has turned into a total disaster."

    The two models are the same, except that the first is red and the other is blue, that's why they have different product numbers?

    I was now in a position where the recovery on the D: drive partition is not a factory reset.

    I did not even recovery disks as having the first one to go smoothly, I thought the same thing would happen on the second laptop and I got the recovery disc then.   I tried to create a USB stick recovery, but I had no one who can save the system settings - need at least 32 GB free.

    This occurred as first I started the laptop, made of windows, MS Office 365 updates, added then waiting 2 days for windows 10 to arrive.  When it came it installed fine and then I added a printer driver for an HP printer and made some configurations of the operating system.  At the next reboot showed something was wrong as the boot took over 7 minutes.  As the synaptics app was referenced twice in the tab start Task Manager also had strange things in the system.  Rather than go back to a previous system restore point that I attempted to identify what was wrong and uninstalled all without success.  I then had the opportunity to go back to 8.1 for Windows or "reset the PC.  Not a lot of explanation on delivery to zero and certainly no warning options that the D: partition was no longer valid.  Windows options were "in my face" so I don't think watching HP recovery.  So I chose to run from Control Panel 'Reset the PC and keep the files'.  So, indeed, I now have a clean install of Windows 10 but have lost all applications that were on the factory orginal building.  I see no way to re - install all of these programs and find the license keys.  I have more HP recovery at all.

    So I have no way to put the blue doesn't return to the factory settings.

    Advice please, I want a laptop blue, the same as the red, i.e. Windows 10 with all applications that have come to the factory as well as the correct printer drivers and a time of less than 30 seconds of starting.

    You are not sure if there is anything I can copy from red to blue to get it going again?

    Any help gratefully appreciated, thank you

  • My office has been reset to the factory settings. I am enrolled in my sync account, but my favorites that are on my laptop, did not came to the top. Now what?

    I was fortunately sync-ed a year betweem my computer laptop Mac iBook and desktop HP - a lot of bookmarks - I am a student. My office had a small problem and I got it clean and reset to the factory settings. I'm now creating upward. I installed Firefox and made Google my default search engine. Then I logged in sync - no problem (even email, password... I wrote it!) I clicked sync, but my favorites are not come to the top. I closed Firefox and re-opened, but still no bookmarks. I looked at the settings and everything is checked. I wouldn't change anything. What Miss me? Thank you.

    Both devices use new synchronization and more importantly on Firefox 30.

    If you you don't need the synchronization of the former, and even if you use the same address as used for synchronization of the old all should operate under the new synchronization.

    I think that the new synchronization drops devices that have not synchronized within the past 21 days.

  • Reset to the factory settings without restoration. Why do I see previous contacts?

    I have a new 5 iPhone.

    I added 6 contacts, 2 new downloaded applications. Saved on iCloud and iTunes.

    I had a very old Apple ID with an email address that I no longer use.

    I created a new Apple ID online by using this:

    Change your Apple - Apple Support ID

    Probably because of something, that I was wrong, there is a conflict between this new Apple ID and one on my iPhone.

    No problem. Because I only had 6 contacts and two additional applications, I decided to reset to the factory settings. I do NOT accept the offer to restore a backup.

    So I guess I now have a new phone out-of-the-box.

    In fact, my 6 contacts were always present. The two extra apps were not present.

    I would be very grateful if someone could explain why the 6 contacts are always present.

    I wonder how many other things could be hiding somewhere, which would not be present out-of-the-box.

    You can use a computer and connect to https://www.icloud.com/ and check the Contacts app it (under the two identifications of Apple as I'm not sure of the exact sequence of events that you did). If they are there and if you have settings > iCloud > Contacts under tension, which could explain from whence they came. With this setting, any changes to the Contacts is immediately synchronized between iCloud and the phone as soon as it is connected to iCloud.

  • How reset/reformat Qosmio X 870 to factory settings?

    Hello

    I used to have an old Asus computer with a Bios option to basically restore all the system mode factory, settings, and HARD drive.

    So... whanever I got a problem with my A.sus, I'll just run Bios and run the option of reformatting.

    Now, I have a Qosmio X 870 since last September and ive get some problems with Windowns and I need to "reset" my pc... somehow.

    This computer has a few option as did my A.sus?
    Sorry for my bad English.

    Thank you

    Of course, you can install original image of the HARD drive recovery. Please open the user s manuals document and open the page 134. You'll find all the news on the recovery of the system. Please also create a recovery as media reported it. If something is wrong with the HDD or recorded the recovery image, you can use this recovery media for installing the OS.

    If you n t s manuals, you can download it from http://www.toshiba.eu/innovation/download_manuals.jsp

  • Satellite A300 - how to reset to factory settings?

    Hello everyone,

    first of all, sorry for my English, it is not my native language and I do a lot of mistakes, I hope you can understand me correctly.

    My problem is that I have a toshiba Satellite A300 provided with Windows Vista op time after I have bought I installed windows 7 on it (you know, so new that I have to try). Now, my problem is I want to reset my phone. I have the recovery disks, and the folder HDDRecovery D: but my computer cannot read.

    What can I do? I tried a lot of things... How can I reboot my computer to factory settings?

    Hope you can help me,

    Best regards.

    Hi biguri,.

    After the installation of another operating system, you will need to use the Toshiba Recovery disk to restore to factory settings. That means Vista preloaded with all the drivers and tools you get back if you boot from the recovery disc and follow the on-screen instructions.

    But don't forget to make a backup of the important files like photos, videos, etc., because the recovery disk will wipe the entire HARD disk.

    You have problems with the recovery disk?

  • [N900 / WNDR4500]-cannot use / access some sites web/services even after reset to factory settings

    Hello

    I just moved into a new home; my old cable modem was damaged during the move, and so I had to replace it (same manufacturer, newer model). The problem started then with messeging (Messenger of the LINE) service not working at all when the wifi - direct connection has worked very well for the PC and the phone worked when using mobile data. Until now, it appeared that this app has been affected that I could still do other things very well (for example surf the web, email checked).

    I tried the firmware update and later reset the router to the factory settings, or even delete the app and reinstalled it, but they've made the app worked part of the time only. However, I noticed recently that I couldn't access certain Web sites via wifi, too. Again, problem has disappeared during the use not wifi.

    No idea on how to solve this problem is highly appreciated.

    Thank you

    b.

    go to settings... internet configuration... Select use PC MAC address... restart the modem and router
