Lost user data after upgrade bios in G580

HI
I have strange problem with Lenovo G580 with Windows 7. After upgrade bios to newest version and reboot my system start without any user data (no documents, no programs installed earlier), All reboot take short time, about 1-2 minutes. Only username stay the same.
Is it possible that upgrade BIOS was bring recover system to factory?
Does data can I recover somehow?
I need help because there was important databases of company.
Thanks
Dariusz

hi Dariusz,
Welcome to the Lenovo Forums.
That's really strange indeed and very unusual as I've never seen a BIOS update delete a user's data before. Perhaps you're logged-in to a temporary user profile?
To check if you're logged-in to a temp profile, show hidden files and navigate to C:\Users and check if you have an identical username with a dollar sign right next to it and apply this fix:
Fix Corrupt Windows 7 Temporary Profile
For data recovery, check these Free File Recovery Software Programs.
Hope this helps

Lost calendar data after upgrade to OS X 10.10.3 from 10.10.2

Using MacBook Pro 13 inch Mid 2009, Processor: 2.26 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, Memory: 8 GB 1067 MHz DD3; Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce 9400M 256 MB
Upgraded to OS X 10.10.3 from OS X 10.10.2 and lost all data appointments, etc in Calendar.
Tried retrieving calendar from Time Machine, but unable to recover as part running system.
What do I do to retrieve data? All my medical appointments are on this calendar.
Please help.

I found that is a hardware problem, because the 9600MGT didn't shown when I reinstall OS X Lion 10.7.4.
It seems that I have to buy a new one

Lost user account after upgrading to Mavericks

Hi there,
I've just upgraded from ML 10.8.5 to Mavericks 10.9 using the Mavericks install app downloaded in another computer and after restarting, I got the setup screen.
I restarted the computer in single user mode and notice that the user accounts are still in there so I created the .AppleSetupDone file manually. After restarting, I couldn't login using any of the accounts.
I restarted on the Recovery partition and tried to reset the users passwords, but the only user available was the root user. I created a password for the root so I can at least login on the system.
After loging in as root, I can't find my users in System Preferences and in their home folders, the only folder is the Library folder, all the other folders were deleted.
I work in a school and want to deploy Mavericks to all computers soon, but I don't want that teachers or students have the same problem.
Does anybody have a solution for it?
Thanks,
Luis

I got the setup screen.
That shouldn't have happened. Either the directory database was corrupt to begin with, or something else went wrong with the installation. It's not a normal occurrence.

Lost all data after upgrading to 4.2

Did an Upgrade to 4.2 for the first time since i bought the Iphone 3g, and when i check the phone there are no contacts, photos or apps i had before the upgrade, tried all the self help tips but no go, itunes did back the data up before upgrade but cant seem to sync it back to the phone, i would be really grateful to you guys if you can get me out of this mess.

See my solution at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11757732#11757732
It's pretty much guaranteed to work if it's at all possible to recover your contacts, although other simpler solutions may work too and some are discussed there.

Lost iCal data after upgrade

I've just updated my husband's MacBook from Leopard to Snow Leopard. Everything has gone perfectly well, apart from iCal and Address Book, both of which are now empty. How do I reunite them with their data? If it isn't hiding somewhere on his MacBook, I can retrieve the files from Crashplan. Just that I don't know what they look like, where they are, or how to feed them back into the applications...

I've googled but I still can't figure out where these files are, or how to reunite them. Anyone?

Do you still have any of the normal user subfolders
visible in the Finder sidebar, like "Movies" or
"Pictures"?
No, I don't. I can access it with A-dock.
Is this an admin or regular account? How
many user accounts on the Mac?
Admin account, 1 user.
How about login items? If you go to System
Preferences -> Accounts -> Login Items tab, what is
on the list?
My login are:

I noticed when I use thinkertool and

Has anybody lost imported photos after upgrading to Lion? (iphoto11)

Has anybody lost imported photos after upgrading to Lion? (iphoto11)

Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

I think you had better to flash back to beta 4.39 bios, here : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=164135.msg1214789#msg1214789
And use and install on USB key MSI Forum HQ USB flashing tool from here : https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=108079.msg800577#msg800577
Flash using method 1.
And tell us if that works.
thank you for reply that fast i will try asap and tell here.
Btw, have you ever face a problem as i wrote above?

I lost my contacts after upgrading to IOS6 on iPhone 4

Wasn't given option to "upgrade" and lost user data

I was trying to upgrade from 10.2.9 to 10.3 yesterday and during the install I didn't see an option to "upgrade" or save the data that was already on the computer (iMac G3). After the install I see that there are no users except the account I was asked to create during the install. So I guess it did a clean install and deleted all the data from the drive? But then I notice that the trash has files in it from before the install. Nothing I'm looking for, but that tells me that some things didn't get removed altogether.
So I'm wondering if there is a way for me to recover the users data that was on here before I did the install.
Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. : )
Thanks a lot,
-Garner

If you are upgrading to 10.3 from a previous major version the Upgrade option is usually the default. If you simply clicked along the upgrade install is performed (unless there is some problem.) Are you sure the user accounts have been deleted? Are you sure you didn't do an Archive and Install? If so, check in the root directory of the hard drive for a Previous System Folder.

IPAD2 calendar lost all data after 5.1 upgrade

I just upgraded my iPad via iTunes to v5.1 today, and just like my upgrade previously to 5.01, my calendar lost all data. Somehow, I think I was able to recall the data under 5.01 whereby it just magically came back. I don't remember how it came back. How do I get my calendar data back??

1). Re how are u syncing calendar. And "info" : answer: the entire "sync calendars with .....". Box is all gray. When I click a check to the left of Sync, the Outlook field comes alive, and no other choices in that drop down field.
"All calendars" is radio buttoned, and Do not sync events older tha .30. days ischecked.
I'll now leave it like that but since I don't use OUTLOOK on mt laptop I don't see how it wll affect anything .
Further own on th screen, under ADVANCED, checking Calendars. Apparently willrlac "the selected information in this iPad with information from this omputer". I don't know how to interpret this, do you? If I check it it will get information form the computer ? What info? A previous cal data file?
2). Re page 70. If you had not told me (sent a ref URL in one of u'r replies tonite), I wouldn't have even known about the iPad 5.1 manual.
Pager 70 : I read pg 70 and don't see any related advice.
In the meantime, no data, just like the last upgrade problem. Since this is exclusively related to calendar, I must conclude whatever events file that existed was lost in the process. Although the US, FRENCH, AND GERMAN HOLIDAYS DID GET TRANSFERRED! And a recurring event file also (time card every Friday)
Ideas?

I lost all my data after upgrading to iOS5.1. It did not ask me even one single question to delete or sync anything

I tried to restore it but it gave me nothing but empty iPad. I don't use any other 'i' things. I upgrade and install my new computer and update iTunes.
It did not ask me anything about my connecting and I ask for updateing old software. Everything is gone TOO smoth and yes clean iPad.
I tried to find the answer in Internet but it did not fit my case. And they are lucky to have back up or other product from Apple to resync.
I guess this will be the last one. I also have Samsung Andriod and I like it very much even it costs me very little, quick, shape, not confusing, type it easily, not gugu.
SO NEXT ONE, I WILL BUY TABLET FROM SAMSUNG.

I thought it is a intuitive idea to back up. But another problem I heard it before is someone lost the data when he synced his new iTune with the iPad with full data. And it synced iPad empty. I could happen.
True I should back up, which I did not lost my data much except my notes in iPad.
My complain is to say normal sensible OS will not do this. My Samsung did not have fansy iTune which I have to be careful too much. I just keep/remove things without warrying stupid sync.
As you all seem has experience how to use iTune, but I don't. I cannot use it simple.

Lost Developer Toolbar after upgrade from 4.1 to 4.2

After upgrading from 4.1 to 4.2.1.00.08, we have lost the Developer Toolbar.
Have others run into this with the upgrade or fresh installation of 4.2.1?
If so, what suggestions are there for fixing, short of reinstallation mentioned in this other thread:
{message:id=10692572}
Following the guidance there to look at the instance ID and other preference settings, I compared our three instances. The two that are not having the problem are both at 4.2.0.00.27.
Here are the preferences that exist on our other instances but are null on the problem instance:
APEX_4_1_0_PATCH_12920544
APEX_4_2_0_PATCH_14777994
APP_EXPORT_TO_DB_ENABLED
HPROF_DIRECTORY
INSTANCE_ID
MOBILE_DEVELOPMENT_ENABLED
PRINT_SVR_HOST
PRINT_SVR_PORT
PRINT_SVR_SCRIPTI have asked our support team to review the upgrade log. Re-installation from scratch is an option.
Any advice is welcome.

Thanks, Joel.
You inspired me to take a closer look, and look beyond the upgrade.
After the upgrade, my application passed a superficial checkout. Later, I exported my application and in the export file, the Instance ID was not NULL. I had not noticed any problems with how APEX was working.
The problems of the missing Developer Toolbar, Instance ID = NULL, and a new one, did not occur until I removed my application and tested a clean installation of the workspace and application. This is the sequence of events. The immediate triggering cause is clearly one of the following:
1. Deinstall application (ID 820) from APEX 4.2.1.00.08 instance, running 11g (11.1.0.7.0).
2. Remove workspace (PVA_AH9_R12)
3. (drop the parsing schema, xxpva, and related tablespace)
4. (create tablespace and schema user, xxpva)
5. Import workspace (PVA_AH9_R12) from an APEX 4.2.0.00.27 instance.
6. Import application (ID 820) including supporting objects from an APEX 4.2.0.00.27 instance, running 11g (11.2.0.1.0).
The next day I noticed the Developer Toolbar missing problem, and found that Instance ID is NULL.
Also, after Exporting an application in Database format, I cannot download the file from the Export Repository. When I click the filename link, I get 'Access Denied' instead of the normal download dialog.
Does this suggest anything else I should look into?
Do you think I should post this as a new problem/question with more detail about the sequence of events?

How to best restore lost User Accounts after server crash?

Our late 2005 G5 froze sometime overnight in the middle of a Time Machine backup. We had to do a hard reboot the next morning.
When OS X Server 10.5.8 came back up, none of our users could log in including our administrator accounts. Unable to log in as root, we used the utility on the installation disc to reset the root password. We were able to log in as root to see that our data and server disks still were intact and navigable. However, we could not see any user accounts defined. We then were able to log in as Server Administrator. Same thing.
We are unfamiliar with restoring anything from Time Machine backups other than user files. Is there a way to restore user accounts from Time Machine and how?
More info: we tried restoring some system files and the library folder but no luck. Not sure how to go about restoring Keychain if that got corrupted...We had about 10 accounts defined before the crash.
Carl

I believe the easiest approach would be:
- Install the same OS on the new servers
- Install OS pre-req software and packages for your EBS instance
- Restore from cold backup (if the crash happened directly after this backup and you haven't lost any data)
OR,
- Restore from hot backup (if the crash happened after your cold backup and you have data that wasn't part of the cold backup)
I assume that no changes to the hostname, domainname, IP Address, port numbers, directory structure, ..etc is taking place in this restore.
Thanks,
Hussein
