Feb 18, 2012
I want to restore my macbook (fall 2009) to its factory built. I've just installed OS X Lion and I now wath I must do for that.So... I do a workshop for Garageband and I've get something like a gift, iLife 2011, from the school. But it was installed from a disc.Now the only that I must now is: when I do the reset, get I then back iLife or not?Â
I just bought my new imac 27" i5, but no restore disk included, How to restore iMac 27" i5 to factory settings with iLife Includes iPhoto, iMovie and GarageBand.
I have a 27"imac which is 3 months old, purchased new from an Apple store. I have purchased a 15" macbook pro as well. The imac is not being used so I want to reset it back to factory settings wipe all personal and keychain data so I can sell it.
I have the latest imac and I was wondering how to reset to factory settings, was it suppose to come with a DVD? If I need the DVD where would I go to get one ? The closest apple store is over three hours away.

How to reset my macbook pro 2011. I don't have a disk or anything like that. My computer will not go back the start screen with the apple and just shows it loading.
Im setting out to my hometown for 5 days and all of my stuff are on my iMac. I dont know, how to copy all settings ,etc from iMac straight to the Macbook Pro. As far as I think, the only way is first to reset the Macbook Pro. Take a Time Machine backup from the iMac. And then restore the copy to the Macbook Pro. Is that the only way left for me? And how do we factory reset the macbook pro, so everything gets deleted and becomes new and ready for a new Tim Machine restore.
American living in germany here. I am using a PowerBook G4 running OS 10.4.11 I am using an Airport Extreme Station with a Siemens Router. I couldn't get my iphone to work wirelessly via Airport, so I decided to do a factory reset. Now after having done that, my Airport Setup Assistant recognizes my Airport but after clicking continue to proceed, I always get the message that it is unable to find the base station. I should add that my internet stopped working about two weeks ago. I thought it might be my system software so I reinstalled that on my Mac. Turns out it was my ADSL box so my phone company sent me a new one. I did get my Airport to work with my old settings and the new box but after this factory reset, my computer can't communicate with it.
I recently came across an old iMac G3 by a dumpster (It is perfectly functional, the fact that I found it by the dumpster has nothing to do with the problem). I brought it up to find out that every user created on the computer is password protected. I've been trying to get past it, but it's impossible. I can't afford an install CD, resetting the PRAM and the PRU doesn't do a thing, and Open Firmware is a pain. Is there any way to get into the iMac without having to buy a disc or go all around town trying to find the original owner so I can get his passwords?
I have to reset my imac G5 that runs OS 10.6.8 to factory settings. I am not selling it but I do want to wipe everything off the hard drive and start over.... fresh.
I recently moved to a new place. At my old apartment I had my express plugged in, never constantly unplugged it or anything and it worked fine.
I move into my new place and now my express wont work. I did a factory reset, holding the reset while plugging it in, reconfigured it to extend my network as I use it to connect to xbox live.
Everything will work for about 2-3 minutes and have internet until the light goes solid yellow. It wont show up in the airport utility or anything. I look at it and it is shutoff while plugged in. No blinking light, no solid light just nothing.
I cant find any information on any other resets and I assumed factory was way to go after it wasnt working the first time.
I have NO idea what to do now. I assume its dead completely unless there is something im doing wrong.
I have had it for a little over a year. Not exactly sure when i bought it. I think I am within a month of the warranty expiring. This sucks. I dont have my proof of purchase or anything. But I am positive I bought it around this time.t does the normal start-up by blinking green then solid yellow while starting then it resets, "starts up" one more time then shuts off completely.
