Windows 8.1: Is it possible to go back to the old back up and restore tool of Windows 7

Hello,
Is there a way to install the windows 7 backup and restore tool on Windows 8.1?
Thanks

No, unfortunately, you have to use the one that's available.
How to create a system image
from Windows powershell (admin) type
"wbadmin start backup -backuptarget:d: -allcritical"
Where :d: is where you will save your image file.
you get the same image files as with the Windows 7 file restore.

I downloaded a new version of firefox. It said it had problems with my norton toolbar and now it doesn't feature it in the window. I'm not that comp savvy. How do I either get the Norton toolbar up or go back to the old firefox? Thank you.

Restore from the backup you had prior to installing Mavericks.
However, the upgrade should not have altered your partition scheme. Did your erase and format the drive prior to upgrading?

How to back up Windows 2003 R2 and restore it on Windows Server 2008 R2?

Hi,
I have an old server running on Windows 2003 R2 Standard OS. It has file server and application server roles. No AD domain services. It has 1TB of data as well.
I'd like to replace the server with new hardware with Windows 2008 R2 Standard installed.
I'd like to know the steps. what to and how to backup Windows server 2003 R2 and restore it on 2008 R2.
Thanks in advance.
Joe

Here are some useful links to reference

You should be able to upgrade the OS directly from 2003 R2 to 2008 R2
I would recommend backing up the information with backup assist or creating a system state backup via windows first before attempting anything. I know BackupAssist will allow you to back up all your information and restore it with the same permissions
to any server.

TS3988 On my Windows laptop I updated my Apple ID and changed my pw on my laptop. I forgot my old Apple account pw. My iPhone demands the old login info and won't allow me to delete the old account

I need help managing my Apple account across my Windows laptop, iPhone 4s, and iPad iie. I updated and changed my id and pw because I changed email and forgot my old Apple pw. Neither my iPhone or iPad recognize the updates. Both demand the old account info and won't allow deletion of he old account on either device. Without the old id/pw combo, how do I access and update my Apple ID and iClount accounts for my iPhone and iPad?

If the old ID is yours, and if your new ID was created by editing the details of this old ID (rather than being an entirely new ID), go to https://appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Click edit next to the primary email account, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iDevice, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then save any photo stream photos that you wish to keep to your camera roll. When finished go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

Hello once again.. i have formatted my external Hard drive it using exFAT, now my windows cant detect my device, can u plzz help me the whole purpose is getting ruined, i use Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

hello once again.. i have formatted my external Hard drive it using exFAT, now my windows cant detect my device, can u plzz help me the whole purpose is getting ruined, i use Windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

This is a problem with the Mac OS X implementation of exFAT. I've had the same problem.
Best is to use a Windows box to format the drive exFAT. Then it can be read by both Windows and Mac OS.
But aren't Macs supposed to "Just Work"? Not in this case.

I hate Firefox 4! My favorite add on doesn't work, it is slow and locks up. I run Windows 7. Can I uninstall 4 and go back to the old version? If so, how?

As a former programmer, I am dismayed that such a poor version would be released! It reminds me of dealing with Windows 98!

I don't understand WHY they would pull support for the older version v3.6.16 when it is obvious that so many people want to go back to that version. The new version is TERRIBLE!! I am having problems with it and reading thru these posts so are a lot of people.
I urge you NOT to pull support until you come up with a better version than this one. I plan to go back to the older version and if you pull support I will go back to internet explorer before I go to this new version of firefox. I have used firefox for years and recommended it to a lot of people but I am very disappointed in this version.

HT202213 I'm trying to set up "Home sharing" but i can not get into my old computer because of a virus. The old has Vista and an older version of iTunes. The new has Windows 7. Also this is my sons computer however I have made a new user account for me. H

I Have 2 issues;
1. I can't transfer my iTunes library from my old computer which I can't get into due to a virus. I'm trying to transfer my iTunes folder to my sons computer in which I now have a user account. Old is Vista and new is Windows 7. Therefore home sharing is impossible, right? Wrong?
2. I found my purchases from iTunes on my iPhone 4S. I can't seem to download them. There is no button to tap "download". Also, I'm unable to sync to iTunes because my phones default is to sync to my old computer which will not open!

Contact Apple customer support, they can reset your authorizations.

I cant install an update to Firefox and cant remove the old version because a "Setup" pop up window "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" appears, reboots change nothing. What should I do?

A friend said she downloaded an update to Firefox (a version of 6, I believe) but didn't install the update, but the desktop icon was gone. The only way to launch Firefox was from the Programs folder. When clicking on the Firefox file, a "Setup" pop up window appeared stating "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" Clicking "No" does not launch Firefox and clicking "Yes" reboots the computer, but nothing changes after restart and the same series of events keeps re-occurring. When clicking on the safe mode file, Firefox was launched. I went to "Add/Remove Programs" and found Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3. When attempting to remove the program, the same reboot "Setup" pop up appears, and the same non-results as previously described, persisted. I deleted all Firefox files and deleted the update set up .exe files. I again tried to remove the Firefox 3.6.3 program, with the same outcome as the previous attempt(s). I went to the Firefox website and downloaded the updated Firefox 7.0.1 set up .exe file, saved and ran it. When I reached the Setup Wizard page that prompts a "Standard" or "Custom" installation, I clicked on Standard and the same reboot pop up window appeared, again with no change after the reboot. So I have a Program installed (Firefox 3.6.3) with no files, and which can not be removed, an executed update/download .exe for Firefox 7.0.1 that can not be completely installed due to the failure to update by reboot problem. I'm out of ideas on how to try to resolve these problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

Try a clean reinstall.
* Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
* Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

Here's an article that will help:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/what-happened-to-backup-restore
In previous versions of Windows, you could use Backup and Restore to back up your files or create and use a system image backup or repair disc.
Windows 8.1 gives you choices about how you can recover your PC and back up your personal files.
Reset or refresh your PC
If you’re having a problem with your PC, you can refresh Windows without losing your photos, music, videos, and other personal files. You can also start over by resetting it to factory settings. For more info, see
How to refresh, reset, or restore your PC.
Back up or restore personal files
You can use File History to back up the files on your PC in the Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos, and Desktop folders. Over time, File History builds a history of your files. You'll first need to set up a File History drive and turn File History on. For
more info, see
Set up a drive for File History. If your original files are lost, damaged, or deleted, you can restore them. You can also browse and restore different versions of your files. For more info, see
Restore files or folders using File History.
Use System Image Backup
You can use System Image Backup like you did in previous verison of Windows.
To open System Image Backup
Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click
Search.)
Enter File History in the search box, tap or click File History, and then click
System Image Backup.

The old allowing oracle 3GB virtual memory on windows 2003 server question?

Hi all,
I have a 9.2.0.7.0 database on windows 2003 server (32bit). 4 dual core cpu's and 16GB of Ram.
I have set .use_indirect_data_buffers=TRUE and *._enable_NUMA_optimization=FALSE.
The db_block_buffers is set at 4GB.
Shared_pool 200MB
Large_pool 56MB
Java pool 56MB
PGA is currently at 400MB
AWE_WINDOW_MEMORY is set at 720MB (which is the lowest I can set it)
At the moment there are various jobs running on the database and no users logged on and the virtual memory is at 1.8GB.
The problem is as soon as the users logs onto the DB the virtual memory goes over 2GB and we see the error 'ORA-04030: out of process memory when trying to allocate 2416 bytes'.
Now I have edited the boot.ini with the following parameters:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINNT="UBS WSP - Wintel Server Platform with PAE" /fastdetect /PAE /4GT
because the /3GB parameter switch started the server with lots of errors.
The oracle.exe process still seems unable to go over the 2GB limit with getting 'ORA-04030' errors.
Can someone tell me if I have missed anything? Or a reason why oracle is not using the switch?
TIA
Eddy

Satish,
see metalink Note:1036312.6 : Utilizing Up to 3GB Virtual Memory on Windows.
it says :
"The 32-bit versions of the Windows® 2000 Advanced Server and Windows NT Server 4.0, Enterprise Edition, operating systems were the first versions of Windows to provide applications with a 3-GB flat virtual address space, with the kernel and executive components using only 1 GB. In response to customer requests, Microsoft has expanded the availability of this support to the 32-bit version of Windows XP Professional and all 32-bit versions of Windows Server™ 2003."
of course, we mustn't be mistaken with the AWE switch (/PAE) that is not available for standard edition.

Okay, pls check that you are logged in as administrator and installed and now you are logged in as administrator and registering the iAS server. Did you get any installation failures while installing and are you able to register the server using iASAT ?
