"0" Factory Restore Does Not Work.

Ok, so my laptop has Windows 8 on it currently. When I bought the computer, it came with Windows 7 Home Premium, but I upgraded to Windows 8. It was working fine but I wanted to switch back to Windows 7. So I ran the setup and when it restarted the computer did not start up anymore. I tried the 0 restore but I do not get the restore option. None of the F buttons seem to give me a restore option. I upgraded to Windows 8 via the internet and do not have any recovery disks. Please help.

Pay 40$ and start over. Next time you want to fool around, create a image of your C drive with a 3rd party App like Macrium Reflect first before you try experimenting.

Hello, all of a sudden I fell down my system and completely erased all bookmarks. Your progress with restoration does not work, send me ansver,please

Hello, all of a sudden I fell down my system and completely erased all bookmarks. Your progress with restoration does not work, write me of bookmarks could not be loaded. Please advice on everything because I came and they seriously need it.

Did your computer crash or did Firefox crash causing the loss of the bookmarks?
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

XP windows restore does not work yet all is set correctly

Does the Lenovo Restore and Rescue utility disable this function of XP ? ?
Thanks

Well I have a 6460-8WU that came with Vista and I got the downgrade CD set and tried to restore to XP. The first time it said it failed to restore my system, but it seem to have XP and all the applications that I expected to see. Later I had a problem with the Welcome Windows screen being unavailable... used only the Classic Windows Logon, I called Microsoft and they suggested using their system restore.... which didn't work at all... I tried 5 or 6 different backup files from different days and none of them worked. At that point I decided to use the Lenovo downgrade CDs and format the hard drive restoring everything from scratch. It took me a few tries but eventually I did get it to say that it had successfully restored my system. The items I learned from like 4 failed attempts to restore it are this:
1. Don't try to restore it while in the advanced dock.
2. When the restore process says to remove Disk # x and press OK, remove Disk # x-1 (the currently inserted Disk, and insert Disk # x, and then do not press OK until you wait 20 or 30 seconds or until the little icon of a CD that flashes when Windows reads a newly inserted disk has finished. When I tried clicking OK either before I had actually inserted the next CD or too soon after I had inserted the next CD the process went downhill from there and failed to restore properly.
3. When it seemingly has read all the CD's and says it will now start the restoration process, but you are asked to press Next... well firstly there *is* no Next button to press and the other buttons other than Cancel are greyed out. The solution there is to wait, and wait, and wait... so long that you may think the process has failed and the computer is hung... but it is not. Eventually it will continue from that point.
Aside from that, I notice that there is a new version of the Recovery Application on the Support site, but
if you install the latest Rescue and Recovery 4.20.0511.00 in the readme there are 31 "considerations" listed, which are basically conditions under which it does not work properly or as expected, so I won't be trusting it to recover my system. I will make a Paragon Drive Manager image after I get the updates all installed and use that to restore from.

DB Restore does not work on MSSMS 2014 under WIndows8.1

When attempting to restore a DB which was backed up on a different machine (same names but SQL EXPRESS 2012) under MS 2014 running on WIndows 8.1 into a SQL Express DB, the following happens:
1. Open Restore task
2. Select Device to get 'Select backup devices"
3. Invoke "Add" and expect to see a browser. Instead, a backup file location is indicated and no browsing is permitted in the "Locate Backup File" Even when the path and file names are just typed in, the Restore will not work.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
SQL Server does not allow you to restore or attach a database from a higher version of SQL Server to a lower version of SQL Server in your case from SQL 2014 to SQlL 2012, however you can generate script in SQL 2014 and execute it on SQL 2012.

Loss of sound (Hard-reset and restore does not work)

Hi,
I loss all sounds on my iPad 2 (currently on iOS 7.04). This is the 2nd time I have had this issue (had it with an earlier iPad) and had to replace the previous one (out of warranty period). Very frustrating as it is about the same time period after purchase. Last time, it seemed like a repeated fault with the iPad and I cannot believe I have the same issue again on a different product. It is an expensive way of having to re-buy every couple of years for no other reason.
It did not happen immediately after an update i.e. it does not appear to be "update" or iOS version-related.
Anyone got any advice please? The facts are as follows (and what I have tried).
When it happened?
I was in iMovie editing a movie when all sound went from the speaker. It continued to work with earphones plugged in, but this is now intermittent. I have no sound on the speaker at all except for when I click sounds on the menu and change the level of ringer alert (which works on the speakers). This seems to tell me that it is a software problem. I have no sound on any applications or internet video or music from iTunes. I cannot survive on the earphones as they only work for a period of time and then they fail (until I take the jack out again when it works again for a period of time before the headphones fail again).
What have I tried?
a) Numerous hard resets
b) changing the side switch's position
c) changing in general settings the side switch settings from lock rotation to mute and back again (repeatedly and in reverse to see if it makes any difference)
d) resetting all settings - this made no difference
e) erase all content and settings - interestingly at the stage when it asked me if I wanted to restore from an iCloud account, it was making sounds (the keyboard clicks - which don't make a sound irrespective of the click setting currently) i.e. appeared to have resolved the issue and as soon as I restored my iCloud back-up, the sound went again.
I would be grateful for any suggestions. This post also includes a recommendation to Apple on improving its product (relating to iCloud backups) as the ultimate solution should not be paying for a replacement for a software issue (to avoid losing all my data permanently).
My musings are that:
a) it is definitively a software issue (on account that the speakers work in certain situations only)
b) it appears to be that the software is corrupted in my iCloud back up
c) it is an issue that happens regularly and is an avoidable issue/cost to Apple's customers that needs to receive higher priority in being addressed as it is built in redundancy for a significant proportion of customers. At the very least, iCloud backups should be capable of being restored in part - is there any way this could be done so we don't lose all of our notes, media etc if the final advice is to "start again". How can it be right to lose all content because of an Apple system software issue? I am pre-guessing this will be the final advice (if I don't want to pay for a replacement iPad)?
Please help me and all those others with the same avoidable software problem.
Thank you,
Peter

This is an iPad user to user forum, so you are not addressing Apple.
Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Check your settings. The iPads have a small switch on the right edge. It can be used as a rotation lock to keep the screen from automatically reorienting itself as you move around, but you need to have the tablet’s settings configured properly. That same switch, right above the volume buttons, can also be set to function instead as a mute button to silence certain types of audio.
If the switch is set to work as a mute button, you can change its purpose to “screen-rotation lock” by tapping the Settings icon on the home screen. On the Settings screen, tap General on the left side, and on the right side of the screen flick down to “Use Side Switch to.” Tap to select Lock Rotation or Mute to set the button’s function. Even if you set the side switch for your preferred use, you can still mute the Mini or lock the screen. Just double-click the Home button, and when the panel of apps appears along the bottom edge of the screen, flick the row from left to right with your finger. Tap the icon on the far left side of the row to either lock the iPad’s screen or mute the iPad’s alerts, notifications and sound effects. Music, podcasts and video are not muted unless you turn the volume all the way down.

DFU and Restore does not work

Firstly, I would like to point out that I am using the latest version of iTunes.
My girlfriend gave me her phone to fix. She has tried to install iOS 7 which does not appear to have worked and she did not make a backup.
When the phone is switched on, the 'Swipe to Setup' message appears. You select a language etc and then are greeted by a message advising to connect the phone to iTunes. When you do this, iTunes basically advises that there is an issue.
I sucessfully started DFU mode and iTunes then recognised that there was a phone in recovery mode and shows the restore button.
After clicking the initial resore button, I am then offered the 'Update and Restore option which I selected.
iTunes then shows the phone being restored:
Restoring iPhone software...
Verifying iPhone Software...
Verifying iPhone Restore...
Restoring iPhone Firmware...
It then tells me it is complete and to leave the phone connected which I do. After a few minutes, iTunes detects the phone and tells me once again that there is an issue. The phone itself, as before; shows the 'Connect to iTunes' message after going through the initial setup of language etc.
Can anyone offer any advice as to what is going wrong with this?
I have tried this procedure no fewer than seven times and it is becoming quite frustrating.
Any help would be very much appreciated.

Go elsewhere. JB voids the Apple warranty and means you will get no support from Apple, including from this Apple forum.

Tried to upgrade the software and my phone crashed...restore does not work

What do I do?! I tried to upgrade and it stopped at the verifing software...it went to the screen with the USB plug and the Itunes icon. When I try to restore it stops at the same point on the preparing to restore and goes to verifing software. What do I DO! (Iphone)

Without more information all I can suggest is:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Uppdated to 18.0.2 and suddely all my bookmarks are gone. Restore does not work.

Hi There. Just updated to 18.0.2 and all my bookmarks (16 years!!!) are gone. Tried restoring but Firefox says it can't read the files.
What to do?

Problems with bookmarks and history not working properly can be caused by a corrupted places.sqlite database file.

Invalid password - restore does not work

My son has an Ipod Touch 4th generation. The password has been forgotten or changed. I tried to connect to Itunes and do a restore and it will not work. It starts the process then asks for a password. I have also tried to hold the home key and power button down and connecting, same thing..it starts the process then asks for a password. Any suggestions how to get this reset or restored?

Most likely your iPod hardisk is dying.
Do a Disk Diagnostic, as posted by tt2
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3110831?tstart=240
This wont fix your problem, but it gives some idea., like getting some professional hardisk repair service or Apps.
Anyway, it would be a very bad idea, to give someone this problematic iPod as a gift to a friend, I would give it to someone I dont like, and let him feel your frustration.
Have a nice day!

Rescue and Recovery restore does not work because of incorrect display size

I am unable to restore my system when booting Rescue and Recovery from the Service Partition or DVD. R&R configures my monitor resolution as 640x480x16 but displays as if there we many more pixels available. The result is that only a portion of the screen is visible and crucial commands are cut off and unusable.
I have read elsewhere that this might be corrected by updating the DisplayResolution parameter in the WINBOM.INI files found in the \MININT and \MININT\SYSTEM32 directories. I have tried this, setting DisplayResolution=1024x768x16, resetting to the default 640x480x16 and even removing the parameter altogether, all to no effect. My monitor always comes up at 640x480 and screens are always cut off.
A puzzling feature of this problem is that Opera help screens do not exhibit this problem. They display at an appropriate size, maximize correctly and so on.
Any help would be appreciated,
Herb

IPod in Recovery Mode Loop, Restore Does Not Work

When I turn my iPod on it says "Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore." I connect it to iTunes, restore it and then it says that it is still in recovery mode and needs to be restored.
Nothing I've tried has worked. I've put it in disk mode, I've changed the drive letter so Windows doesn't confuse it with anything else. I tried to go to the Genius bar but they were so backed up the only appointment I could get was for 8pm tomorrow!
Hopefully someone can help!

I've got the same problem with my iPod nano 3rd generation. I'll connect it to iTunes, and it says that an iPod has been detected in recovery mode, and it'll ask me to keep it connected to the computer. It'll then prepare it for recovery, and then tell me there's been an iPod detected in recovery mode. It'll perform this loop several times before I'm given the option to restore it, in which the iPod displays an old version of the iPod interface (I'm talking 1st or 2nd generation of the classic iPod).
Once I'm given the option to restore, it says "Extracting software", finishes, and says that the iPod is being restarted, and then starts with the "iTunes needs to prepare your iPod for recovery. Please leave your iPod connected." loop once again.
I would really prefer to not have to drive to the Apple store to get this problem fixed...

System Restore does not work (Windows 7)

I believe that my internal wireless network card has died although the laptop is only 8 months old, but that's another issue.
I'm running Windows 7, and I tried to have system restore backup to a few days ago. There have been no changes to the computer in this time other than Windows update. After performing system restore and rebooting, I have a message that system restore was cancelled because there was a file in use. It suggested I disable anti-virus protection. After disabling that, I tried system restore once again. The computer seemed to be doing it right, but after reboot, I got the same message that it could not be performed due to a file in use.
I've turned off everything I can think of, does anybody know why might be causing system restore to stop and how it could be corrected?
Thanks

If you cannot do a System Restore from the Recovery Environment (as Archie suggested), then probably the restore points have become corrupt. That's not uncommon.
To repair that, turn System Restore off and then on again. Unfortunately, that removes all the previous restore points.
Turn System Restore on or off
If you post again, tell us which computer you have.

HT1320 What can be done if the restore does not work?

My iPod is a 30GB my OS is MAC OS X version 10.5.7. When the iPod is connected to the MAC the display on it
He iPod shows a folder which is not accessible and www.apple.com/support/iPod. That's all I get. The iPod simply just stopped working one day while in the middle of playing songs.

If Restore is complete, without any error, and you still get the folder icon.
Do the iPod Disk Diagnostic as posted earlier by tt2, it wont fix your problem but helps in troubleshooting.

System restore does not work!

I am running Windows 7 upgraded from Vista and I am having issues in the little flag that pops up in the task bar on the right side.
It says that disk errors are detected, when i try to fix it nothing happens. I tried to restore my computer and I keep getting this message that
"Windows has detected file system corruption on (my hd). You must check disk for errors before it can be restored"
I go to run the disk check and when I do not have automatic fix it actually scans, but tells me after a while that I need to click the automatic fix file system.
I do that and it says "Windows can't check disk while in use. Do you want to check for hard disk errors the next time you start your computer?"
I click schedule but nothing happens when computer restarts.
Any help would be appreciated.

Computer won't read iPod, reset/restore does not work

My 20GB iPod is having the problem where when you turn it on it displays the file folder and exclamation point and someone I know from school told me it's a corrupt file and I need to clean off my iPod and put all my songs back on to correct it.
No form of the reset does anything and neither does anything from Apple's troubleshooting pages thus far.
When the iPod is not plugged in, it randomly switches between a blank screen, the apple, and the folder/exclamation point.
When the iPod is plugged in, it randomly switches between a blank screen, the apple, the folder/exclamation point, and the do not disconnect screen.
It doesn't matter what buttons you push, it simply does one of the two things above.
All forms of resetting I've read from the troubleshooting pages have not allowed my computer to read my iPod as far as I can see.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Okay. I have successfully restored and updated my iPod click wheel to 3.1.
However, when I begin to upload songs, the iPod freezes. The first time it was from an automatic update at about 270/400, and the second time was from a manual update at about 6/375.
Why is it locking up when files are being uploaded? The "do not disconnect" message stops flashing on the iPod screen and in iTunes it will say "Song 6/375" and never stop.
