There is three possible reasons for this. First, check to make sure that the breaker also did not trip, a GFCI outlet will not reset if not powered. Second, if the load that caused the GFCI to trip is still plugged in it will not allow the GFCI to reset. So, before trying to reset the GFCI unplug everything that it protects. Third, you might just have a bad GFCI, attempt the above suggestions first and if it still will not reset you will need to replace the GFCI. If after all this the you are still having problems then something more serious is wrong and you need an on site electrician to diagnose the problem.

Why would 2 house outlets and the garage be without power yet no breakers are tripped and how do you fix it?
It's probably a bad connection inside one of the outlet boxes or possibly a tripped GFI.
Should you use 14-2 or 12-2 for garage outlets and lights in Richfield mn?
The only determining factor is the size of the circuit breaker that you will be using. If the garage circuit will be protected with a 15 Amp breaker, you may use a 14 AWG wire. If the circuit will be protected with a 20 amp breaker, you must use a 12 AWG wire. Note too that garage outlets should be protected with a GFCI breaker or outlet. If you have any concerns regarding your ability to adequately design and install the garage outlets, please, for your own safety, contact a local electrician.
You have 1 outlet in the garage - 1 in your bathroom and 1 exterior outlet that all stopped working - you have checked your breakers and they seem to be ok What should you do?
Your outside outlets should be connected to GFCI devices. If they are receptacles the downstream side of the receptacles is also protected. It sounds like one of these receptacles has tripped. Try resetting the bathroom one first and then check to see if the power came back on. Then try resetting the outside receptacle if it is a GFCI. The outlet in the garage is probably fed either off of the bathroom circuit or the outside receptacle.

Yes, but you can feed multiple outlets from one GFCI outlet. Make the first outlet fed in the cicuit a GFCI. Search for GFCI outlet with Google, etc. and I'm sure you will find an explanantion of how. Most GFCI's come with instructions also.
