Restoring factory MacBook

I was setting up new mi 1.3 Ghz macbook for the first time and it froze before the end. I stopped it and now when you try to restart, it only shows a circle with a line through it.

Could someone please offer some advice?

Thank you very much

  • I can't restore factory my MacBook

    I am trying the factory restore my macbook Pro, but I can't get OS x to reinstall

    I erased the disc, then tried to reinstall Yosemite but after that I got my Apple ID and password, it says "this article is temporarily unavailable."  I looked online for answers and everywhere where I looked at suggested that I enter internet recovery mode (rather than the normal recovery mode) and try to reinstall Lion. I followed the same steps with lion, but he still asked my Apple (where people said he shouldn't have) ID and when I entered it it always says it is temporarily unavailable.

    I just started University and need my laptop for my classes so any help would be greatly appreciated.

    If your Mac is running v10.11 El Capitan, it cannot be restored to Yosemite v10.10 factory.

    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?

  • 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?

    Thank you

  • Restore factory settings

    I want to restore my laptop to original settings. My laptop does not start the operating system. It restarts only to the point where I see the 'Vaio' logo

    I can press F10 to use Recovery Wizard. But I don't have the recovery CD.

    I wanted to know, can I still use F10 to restore my laptop to factory without these CD manufacturing settings. I really don't care about data on my laptop, if it erases everything that I want to just restore factory settings

    Hello

    Thank you for your message. VAIO computers come with recovery software, present in a hidden partition and you can perform system recovery using the 'F10' key

    Restart the computer, keep tapping F10 key, press button to start editing option, Recovery Wizard select start and click on ignore VAIO Care rescue (if you do not want to back up data) to start the system recovery process.

    See the following link for detailed information:

  • Use 'restore factory of Rescue and Recovery' to upgrade 32-bit to 64-bit windows 7

    I have 6 GB of ram on my Lenovo SL410. It runs win 7 32-bit.
    Windows shows that it is capable of 64-bit.
    Can I use "restore factory Rescue and Recovery" to perform the installation of win 7 64 bit?

    Thank you

    Your recovery DVDs are listed here:

    http://support.Lenovo.com/us/en/products/laptops-and-netbooks/ThinkPad-SL-series-laptops/ThinkPad-SL...

    I guess if your recovery partition factory is win 7, 32 bit, it will restore win 7, 32 bit.

    You can order the win7 64 bit DVD for about $50 US recovery.

  • Restore factory opens not in Windows 8

    I have an Aspire V3 which has become very infirm. As the laptop was not in my care before now, I had tried to use the option restore factory settings in the management of the recovery tool, but when I click on the button restore, nothing happens.

    I tried running windows 8 in safe mode, but also pressing alt + f10 at startup upward. Nothing seems to work. Is there a way I can reset this short using a pre-made recovery disk?

    It came with Win 8 and you upgraded to Win 8.1? This upgrade seems to mess with recoveries.

    Have you tried that?

    1. press on the windows (Image: icon_Windows8_key.png) + C or by scanning from the right edge of the screen to open your charms.
    2. click search, and then type Recover.
    3. click on Acer Recovery Management.
    4. select restore factory settings.
    5. click on next.
    6. Select clean disk entirely.
    7. click on reset.
    Your computer will restart and launch the restore process. Once completed, it will restart and begin the initial installation of Windows to address process.

    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.

  • Will not respond XPS 15 F8 key to restore factory image

    Have a XPS L501X 15 I'm cleaning up to part with. Have all my personal data offshore and uninstalled all the software, which I have added. Went to my Dell online manual for restoring factory image whose starting point was to press the F8 key when the Dell logo appears, to access the advanced boot options. Have done so several times during the past 20 years with my Dell computers, usually F2 for access settings. This computer works well when I hit F2 for Setup and F12 for boot options. But he will not answer the F8 key to bring up the options of early start had to do the original image. Have tried 30 times or almost and it just keeps loading windows. y at - it another way to access this screen, or something else I can try. I have had no other problems with the computer. Ran the Dell hardware diagnostics and everything this past... Loooked in the D partition and it appears the Dell image restore files are all there, I just can't get the F8 to get to them. I made no changes or done anything with the D partition, and the hard drive is the original.

    You must press F8 several times similar to what I've done here:

  • Dell Windows 7 recovery/restore factory - Windows problem requires the user ID and password after recovery full? Why?

    I have a desktop Dell Inspiron 580 with Windows 7 Home Premium. I did a full system recovery using the recovery partition on the hard drive first where it erases all data and gives back to the factory condition. After the restoration, when Windows starts for the first time, he returned to the normal login screen requiring a user ID and password.  Why is this? I can't continue because there is no user ID and password when you wait for all the data to be wiped and starting a restore factory complete.

    I realized a second time with the same results.

    I realized a third time using the Dell recovery disk set, done using the Dell program on the computer before the restore operation. I watched the program perform a partition formatting, so all data should be erased. I got the same results by asking an existing user ID and password.

    Now, I did complete factory restore a fourth time by using the recovery discs. I always get the same results.

    When Windows 7 starts for the first time, every time, I expect windows to ask me to create a new user and password.  Instead, Windows starts to askling normal login for an existing user ID and password screen. What is the cause of this problem? I see many people with this problem in the forums. I have not found a real solution.

    Thanks for any help. :-)
