• HP 15: Computer hp laptop reset to the factory settings and it supports 12 hours and still not done

  I backed up all my files on a disc and I wanted to reset laptop to factory settings and it takes more than 12 hours to do this and not yet finished. He said: install Windows and the do again and yet 10 a.m. and it will not change... Is it broken? Can I get out of this

• 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.

• Setting up Deskjet 6988 for wireless printing after a reset to the factory settings, using Mac OS 10.8

  Hi - How re - connect to my printer wirelessly after a reset to the factory settings? I use Mac OS 10.8. The network on the printer flashes, and on the Mac, it is listed as "not connected". And the page of report confirms that he has lost all of its data.

  Fortunately, I made a report page before resetting, so I think that I know all of the critical information, I need to come back here, but I can't figure out how to do this.

  I read the installation guide, who said to use an ethernet cable and the CD of HP, but I don't have the CD anymore.

  I tried an ethernet cable and entering the IP address of the printer, but which did not, perhaps because it has more this IP address.

  I tried the steps hereand downloaded the latest version of the HP update software software, but I don't see my printer. I went from my wifi to hpsetup network and then I could see and add a second new instance of my printer, but it did not help, because this second instance of the printer is not connected or the other.

  Interestingly, when I am connected to hpsetup, I can print.

  Can someone help me to re - connect this printer? I'll save the reason for reset for another post!

  Thank you very much!

  FIXED! Sunshyne2005, thanks a lot to direct me to the solution!

  Here's what worked:

  1. Connect to hdsetup
  2. Press the report Page button on the printer (the one with the box)
  3. Continue with step 3 of the Sunshyne2005: open a browser and enter the IP address of hdsetup.
  4. Look around for the wireless configuration wizard (sorry, I can't access is no longer hdsetup, and I just don't remember where it is)
  5. Enter the SSID (name) of the wireless network and the password
  6. Note: You will see a button to finish, but it has no effect. At this point, the printer is successfully added to the wireless network and access the hdsetup disappears. Therefore, the wizard will no longer work, but the important thing is that the printer is connected. : )

  Thanks again, Sunshyne2005!

  Hello.

  Thanks for the reply. I found a previous question with a similar problem as mine, there was a solution that I followed and was able to install SP1. I should have done this before my question!
  I also installed SP2. Resetting to the factory settings was a last resort due to a problem I was experiencing, but after installation of SP2 my original problem reappears. The problem is now in terminal phase and looks like a new pc.
  In any case, once again thanks for your help, I know where to go with future questions I have.

• Help! Reset AlienwareM14xR2 to factory settings!

  I need help here.

  I want to reset my Alienware M14xR2 to factory settings, which can be easily made using AlienRespawn If AND ONLY if I have my original hard drive, but I've already changed my hard drive because it has detected a hard drive failure and needs to be replaced which was changed for free because my laptop was still under warranty.

  Initially, my laptop runs Windows 8 Operating System, and I upgraded to 8.1 through Store Windows, which I've learned lately that Windows 8.1 is not yet stable and makes the PC PC/Refresh Reset does not work in the ' CHANGE PC SETTINGS > UPDATE AND RECOVERY > RECOVERY. "

  

  I tried the new installation of Windows 8, but it says "no device drivers were found. Make sure that the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click Ok' and after clicking 'OK', he says 'driver Media your computer needs is missing. It could be a driver DVD, USB or HDD. If you have a CD, DVD or USB flash drive with the driver on this subject, please insert it now. »

  This part is where I do not understand because I only have the CD/DVD is in Alienware M14xR2 Resource DVD and the Alienware drivers and utilities which is when I tried to insert it, it is said that this isn't the CD/DVD they are looking. WHAT NOW? I NEED to reset my laptop to its factory settings Please HELP!

  Thank you for your reply Sir natakuc4 but I was able to reset my PC already and I expect to re-install my drivers but I was not asked to maybe because it is part of the Microsoft PC reset feature.
   
  NOTE: ignore quotes("") double, it is included to focus on what you want to see/type/click on your screen
   
  Here is the solution how to work ' Reset/Refresh PC' on Windows 8.1 which is updated for Windows 8.0 operating system.
   
  first is to create a recovery partition (which is I do not know why it is required by Microsoft well in fact, if your goal is to remove everything and start from scratch and need no recovery partition.)
   
  There is an easy way to create the recovery Partition in Windows 8/8.1 press 'START' and then tap the search field "Recovery" and press "Enter".
  It will open this window
   
  
  then click on 'Create A recovery disk '.
   
   
  for those who upgrade Windows 8.0 Windows 8.1 that box will be dimmed or turned OFF which is my problem in all first, because you cannot create a recovery partition which is needed to make the "refresh/Reset PC running.
   
  so here's the SOLUTION alternative and BETTER! to create a recovery on Windows8.1 partition
  1. Press the "Windows".
  2. Type "cmd" in the box "search".
  3. Right click and "Run As Administrator" (simply press 'Yes' on the window that opens)

  You should now see this

  

  There, CAREFULLY follow THE STEPS!

  type the following command

  1. mkdir (space) C:\REFRESHIMAGE press 'ENTER', this will create the folder to the recovery on your C: drive or Local disk partition c for the layman term
  2. recimg (space) - CREATEIMAGE (space) C:\REFRESHIMAGE press "Enter", it will create the image in the folder named "REFRESHIMAGE".

  Note: (space) indicates that there is a space between the command

  3. you should now have this view

  

  Wait until it has finished and a file in the 'C:\REFRESHIMAGE' will be created with a name of "CustomRefresh.wim".

  Rename it to "INSTALL.wim".

  then create a folder on C:

  Name the folder as Win8.1 - recovery

  copies the file renamed to "INSTALL.wim" in C:\Win8.1-Recovery

  After that, you will be very well make it into the 'PC Reset/Refresh' or by creating a recovery drive without going through the box grayed out in the process.

• Satellite A665-S5170 reset to the factory settings

  I bought this laptop in February 2011 from best buy, I went on holiday in April, my father at the House-sit to the left and he used my computer. Said there are infestations of virus and its 'techno' friend installed linux mint OS on my computer and I want to not go.

  I want my Windows 7 return but I did not because recovery disks that I did not have too long and has not had the chance (don't wait no not my father to do something like that for her either). I know that there is a separate partition for the system restore in some satellite systems, can I access that without Windows on my computer? It is not double started, it's right linux and I can't STAND it. I also can't afford to pay for the new installation discs. Help, please!

  I can't use any of my programs, and I don't like the alternatives. I want to go back to Windows! Thanks for any help, it's GREATLY appreciated!

  EDITED TO add: since installing Linux, my keys do not light up or work, but I think that they can work with windows.

  Hi NaniApo,

  Usually, if another operating system is installed, you are not able to start the recovery of HARD drive more but you can try holding down the Zero key as Akuma writes.

  If it doesn't work your only option to restore factory settings is Toshiba recovery disc. If you n t have it order a service allowed in your country. On Toshiba site is a list with all FSA.

  I read that you can not afford to pay for a new disk recovery, but on the other side, I have to tell you didn't had the time to read the manual and you have to pay for that mistake. If I buy a new computer, TV or other media device I still have time to read the user's manual first and everyone knows how important it is. ;)

  Hello

  You can order a replacement set of the recovery media in the HP partner on the link below (I assumed the model No., you live in the United Kingdom).  These drives/flash player will automatically read the windows product key embedded in the bios.
