Can I restore the ATV2 the embedded original content of the device? Accidently Erased most of it?
I accidently erase content within ATV2 can I restore via ftp or terminal program instead of iTunes?
not easily. no. I've never heard of using "repair disk" from the Disk Utillity and having the contents of my hard drive vanish. Maybe you clicked on Format disk or something else? You'd have to buy something to try to get your stuff back. This is probably now a good time to get some kind of backup system going (hint, hint)
Try Data Rescue , I don't know what else to suggest. Verifying and repairing permissions probably won't do you any good now.....

HOw can I restore my sons itouch to original settings without going through iTunes restore? When I plug into iTunes it will never complete the update/restore without timing out? He can't remember his password. I can't get my iTunes to update to the newest level either without timing out. Please help!
The thread title differs from the original post, sorry for the confusion. I read password instead of passcode.
The only way past a passcode lock is by entering the passcode. Refer to HT1212 iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen:
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup).
If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present.
As for timing out during the restore...
If there isn't any antivirus or firewalls in the way, I would try restoring from a different user account or even a different computer. If still unable to restore without timing out, I would try a different network. -

How can I restore my computer to its original form or update my operating system?

See Erasing disks securely
Start up from your install disc, go to Disk Utility and select the disk and click erase - to securely erase data click Security Options and Erase Free Space which will entirely wipe your disk, overwriting it with zeros so that no data is recoverable.

How do I put the apps from my original iPad onto the substitute iPad?
I had to send in my iPad in to get the volume button fixed. In the meantime, I've been given a substitute iPad (both are from the school at which I work). How do I put the apps from my original iPad onto the substitute iPad?
Sync the substitute iPad to the same computer iTunes that you used previously to sync the original iPad.

How can I restore Windows 7 to Bootcamp partition - not reformat the entire hard drive?
Hello Apple (Mac) Community,
I originally posted this question over on answers.microsoft, but no help was forthcoming. Hope someone can help me with a problem that's (almost) making me nuts! I teach graphics to college students. In brief: I run Windows 7 Pro 64 on a Mac Pro tower, along with Snow Leopard (OSX). Windows is loaded on one partition of a 1TB drive. The other partition is a Mac backup. The Mac OS is on a different drive. Everything was going swimmingly with both OS, until recently. Unfortunately, the drive with Windows showed problems and I determined that the HD was either toast or needed a total reformat. My Mac data was all backed-up. Now I wanted to backup Windows so I can easily get back to the relatively happy point of my Windows 7 experience (drivers loaded, dual monitors all working, etc.). I did some online searching and the recommendation was to create a "system image" of the existing Windows 7 install by attaching an external drive, formatting that to NTFS and selecting "backup to image" in Windows. I did that and also took the opportunity to "create a backup disc" on a DVD. (Windows recommended). Next I rebooted back to Mac OS and completely reformatted the problem 1TB disc to a single partition, zero all data, just to see if it would actually reformat. It all worked! So far, so good. Next I used Bootcamp to create two partitions, one for Windows. I then restarted using the Win7 Pro (64) install disc, reformatted the Bootcamp disk to NTFS (as required) and installed Windows 7. After all that is completed and all working, I next try to use the restore from image function while booted in Windows. I'm instructed to restart from the Win install disc, which I do. Here's where things get difficult. When I try to choose restore from image, at that point the installer asks which drives to I want to exclude... but does not show partitions, only full HDs. I do not want to reformat the entire 1TB drive. I only want Windows on the 120gb Bootcamp partition (which is already formatted for Windows BTW). I spent a lot of time online reading through articles with users having the same frustration.
So here (at long last) is my question: How can I either restore Windows just to a Bootcamp partition... using "Windows System Image" or if that can't be done... can I somehow import all of the settings, etc. from the "image" (image is on external HD) into a fresh Win 7 install? So far the "backup disc" also seems useless. I can't even boot to Windows from it. BTW Apple folks: the only response on the MS side was that some "expert" simply posted links on how to install Windows and restore... not helpful with my particular problem of restoring to a partition.
Any help would be appreciated! Hopefully some help that even a Mac user / new Windows user could understand would be better! Thanks!
-meltWinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.

Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

Can I restore my bookmarks if they were saved to the same profile on a different computer?
So my mom restored one of our computers without telling me or backing up any of my bookmarks. If I'm signed into the same Mozilla profile on my computer as I was on the one that was wiped, will my bookmarks be in the places.sqlite folder? If they are, how can I access them and restore my bookmarks to Firefox?
I also have two old .json files that I've repeatedly tried to import to Firefox using the "restore" feature and installed Friefox 27 to try to use my recovery key to no avail. Can anyone recommend a method of restoring my bookmarks that I haven't tried yet, or tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance!These can't get your data back, but will help in the future.
These add-ons can be a great help by backing up and restoring Firefox

How can I restore deleted file attachments from further back than the history tool will let me go?
I have a open form that collects registration information from customers, including documents and images that they can upload using file attachment fields. Back on 2/24 I inadvertently deleted the several hundree responses that the form had collected up until that point. Using the history tool, I accessed older, intact versions of the form, selected the deleted rows, and copy/pasted them back into the latest verskon of the document. It seemed to work fine, but I didn't look closely enough to see that the attachments had been lost. The file referenvces were still there, but they had little red exclamation marks next to them and couldn't be opened.
A couple week later, I discovered this and tried to go back into the form's hsitory again until before that accident on 2/24. However, I can no longer go back in time that far. The system only seems to let me go back around 10 days.
We need to recover the lost file attachmentrs. Is there a self-service way for me to restore my form back to 2/24, including file attachments? If not, could an Adobe supprrt technician hele me to do that?
Thank youlol, nevermind. I came across an article that made it easy. For anyone else with this problem it's real simple.
Open itunes
File>Add Folder to Library
select 'itunes' and it will add your music to your library
Although it went through all my apps asking if I want to replace or don't replace with newer, when it finished all my music appeared in itunes just like I left it before reinstalling Win 7. Easy Peasy. I've seen others with same problem but nobody seemed to have this easy solution.
Now I can finally plug in my iphone and sync without losing all my music from my iphone. -

I can´t restore my tabs (and I´ve already checked the History-Recently Closed Tabs)
If, by accident, I click on the bottom part of Firefox (above Windows´ taskbar) the browser sort of minimizes and I can´t reopen it, I have to cancel everything I´m doing. As I usually work with many tabs, a pop-up asks me if I want Firefox to save my tabs for next start, and I click on "Yes", but then, when I open it, I can´t restore them at all, even if I go to History-> Recently Closed tabs...
How can I solve this???
Please, I´d really appreciate it if you could help me, because this is so annoying, and makes me waste a lot of time!Hi Morbus,
Thanks for your quick response. I set Tools>Options>General>Show my windows and tabs from last time as you told me, but it didn´t work. I also disabled add ons and ran the Safe Mode, though I still got no solution, so this is my Troubleshooting Info:
