TOPIC

    I am confused on how to properly erase information and what gets erased from my Apple MessagePad. I performed erase procedure outlined on page 110 of the MessagePad 120 Handbook, and now I cannot find the Notion package that came on my Apple MessagePad. The Handbook states "This does not remove Newton's programs or operating system software (including system updates)."

    Is this correct?

DISCUSSION

    The handbook is a bit confusing on this topic.

    After Erasing Your Messagepad:

    These Files Remain:
    • The Calendar
    • To Do List
    • Notes
    • Names programs
    • Newton operating system
    • System updates

    These Files are Erased:
    • Notions
    • Notions templates
    • Newton Mail modules
    • PackageMover
    • Other installed programs
    • All data in the internal memory
    NOTE: Information on any storage card is unaffected when you erase.


    How To Erase Your Apple MessagePad:
      1. Press and hold down the Power switch.
      2. Press and release the Reset button while holding down the Power switch.
      3. Continue to hold down the Power switch until the message appears asking if you want to erase data completely.
      4. Release the Power switch.
      5. Tap on the YES button and then tap on the OK button.
