Restore factory for 3 TB Fusion Drive settings

I should just come here first, Apple phone support has been no help at all, took two officers to just make me an appointment at the Apple Store for tomorrow.  I'm sure they were also just guess what to do.

I decided to format and restore my iMac with screen Retina 5 k, there is a merger of 3 TB drive.  I would just restore the drive to merge its factory settings which seems just a partition that includes the SSD & HDD together... I think that RAIDed... I'm not really sure, I've been googling and I am even more confused now.  I'm having the hardest time and whenever I try to delete a partition or delete something that I feel like I'm making it worse, which is why I called Apple, but they were not useful.

Does anyone have any suggestions?  I have no other drive connected to my iMac.

Is there maybe a terminal command to restore the unity of fusion to its original state so I can install El Capitan again?

I've attached a picture of disk utility where I left with telephone support from Apple.

N ° the SSD & HDD are not searched in a merger player. They linked together in a logical volume so that the data can be promoted and demoted to maintain the data that you use on the SSD and the data that you do not use the HARD disk. Giving you the SSD performance but a hard disk storage space.

You will find indications to recreate your Fusion drive to the http://blog.macsales.com/15617-creating-your-own-fusion-drive

I hope that you have a backup because only when you have completed this procedure the Fusion drive will be empty.

  • Satellite L350 - restore factory settings

    Hello

    I have a L350 and have had problems with my keyboard, my laptop keep thinking that the control key is stuck. I found that when this happens my keyboard stops working properly, but if go into control panel--> change keyboard and just click on all (not to change anything just open & then close) it seems ok again for a while. I want to restore factory settings, but when I shut down or restart my keyboard no longer works, so I can't press the keys or value to boot from the disc. I tried to plug in a USB keyboard, but it's the same leading me to believe it's a software problem not hardware.

    Back, someone knows what can do to solve this problem?

    Apple did not provide an easy way to recover from this condition. If you are not able to carry out these instructions, please someone more experienced to help you get. One option is to take an appointment 'Genius' on an Apple Store.

    In the OS X Utilities screen, select

    Utilities ▹ Terminal

    in the menu bar at the top of the screen, not one of the items in the OS X Utilities window.

    Follow the steps in this thread to ASC to split the fuser unit. The long string of letters, numbers and dashes you will need to enter will be different in your case. Copy and paste into the command in the Terminal window.

    This will remove all data from the fuser unit, then you had better be sure of your backups.

    Quit the Terminal, and then repair the Fusion drive (see "Troubleshooting" on the linked page.)

    Quit disk utility. Then you should be able to install OS X and restore your data from a backup in the main screen.

  • a fusion drive is good for audio recording?

    I think buy a 27-inch iMac for audio recording on Logic Pro X, but is not sure a merger player performance, because some say that the part of the HARD of it on only 5400 RPM drive, if I hold with an iMac HARD 7200 RPM drive?

    You will likely get different opinions, but personally I would not use the fusion drive and recommend an SSD.

  • Toshiba A30 restore factory settings

    pretty stupid question, but I need to restore factory settings, does anyone know how to do?
    Ive tried the system restore forest and it goes back only to a certain point
    I don't know what else to do?

    Hi Carolina,.

    When you say 'Restore factory settings', do you mean that you want to restore your A30 to its original condition, with original OEM software installation etc. That you could do it using the recovery CD, but this will remove one of your own data and software as well as raw product updates that you can download.

    Is it just that you have a problem with your system that may be corrected, rather than do a full restore?

  • What are the specifications for a fusion drive

    I'm looking into getting a new mac mini and I think to get a player of fusion. I currently have a mini 2011 that I install with a SSD that is dedicated to the operating system and applications, and the original for data (documents, pictures, music) hard disk. Some can give me the specs for a merger for a new mini unit (2015)? I would like to know if the SSD is 3g or 6g, what is the size of the SSD, and what is the speed of the hard drive. I guess the size

    The SSD is based PCle blade, which is much faster than a SATA III/6 GB/s SSD.

    Note that the basic model has only a hard drive or drive of available fusion while the other two models also have a large PCle based SSD as an option in addition to the rotation of the road and road of fusion. The SSD n a fusion drive is about 120 GB

    How to restore your computer settings certainly depend on what brand of computer you use. You must contact the manufacturer or your computer's manual should give you guidance on how to use your disks restore provided with your computer or the hidden partition.

    Please note that means restoring the computer to the factory settings, restore the computer to the State that you have first obtained it in. You would lose your programs that you have installed, your data, etc etc. It would be like a new installation.

    Consider other options first.
