How do you reset an apple computer to the factory defaults?

Power off your computer, and then turn it on, holding command and R until you hear the start chime or see the apple logo. (This boots you into Recovery Mode). Then select disk utility, and there will be a menu on the left-hand side with a bunch of drives. Choose the one named, "Macintosh HD", and click erase. Then make sure Mac OS Extended (Journaled) is selected for format, and make sure the name is Macintosh HD (you can name it whatever you want, but Macintosh HD is what the factory names it). Then click erase in the bottom right. Afterwards, select erase free space from the same menu and choose how securely you want to erase it. Finally, exit disk utility, and select install OSX, and you will have a factory-reset Apple Computer. Note: if you are not on Mountain Lion or above, you will need the install disk to reinstall the Operating System.

Why does your MacBook keep telling you to restart?

Sounds like you may have a kernel conflict.

Try rebooting and immediately after the boot chime hold down the Shift key, keep holding it down until you get a grey Apple Logo stating your now in safe boot mode. It will do a repair in the background while it's booting up so it may take several seconds. Simply reboot to go back into regular boot mode.

If you have an older model dig out your MacOS installCD/DVD that came with the computer and boot to it and go into Disk Utility and "Repair Disk". Keep repairing it until no more errors come up.

If you have one of the newer computers that didn't come with a disk then boot into the "Repair Partition" and do the same.

If it comes out clean then you may just have an application software issue.

If Disk Utility says it can't fix the error then you may need to buy a disk repair software like "DiskWarrior" or "TechToolPro" to help out.

Worst case scenario if you don't have a back up then you can always do an "Archive and Install" to reinstall the Operating System with out erasing the important files.
