Cant find system restore

i lost the restore disk to my mac os 9.2.2 and on all the support things i cant find it?? please some one send me a link to download it please.

If you mean the operating system installation files CD then it is not available for (free) download. The last OS that was free was System 7.5.3 (or was it 7.5.5?, no matter). You'll either have to buy a new set of installation disks or if your drive is still working then you can burn a CD with a copy of your current System folder. This isn't as good as doing a clean installation since if your computer configuration changes (e.g., you add expansion cards) you may be missing files that would be necessary to support the new configuration. (The same applies if you plan on getting rid of this computer and using OS 9 on a different computer.) The other thing to note is that simply copying the System files onto a CD won't make the CD bootable, so you can't use it as a rescue CD for a non-booting computer in that state. You'll have to follow the directions in your CD burning software on how to do that.

IPhoto Shared Library - Cant Find After Restore from Backup

Hello, I hope someone can help. A couple of years ago I created a shared iPhoto library image (I believe it was a mounted image file) so that two (2) users on a single iMac could view/add files collectively. I have been using the Time Machine backup since we purchased the iMac, and for years everything was fine. Recently, the HD failed and we had to have Apple install a new one. After successfully restoring all files/settings from the latest time machine backup, I noticed that the shared iPhoto library is no longer available. iPhoto asks for the library location upon launch, but I cant find this file anywhere.
Does anyone have any ideas on how to bring this shared image file back, and remount it so that I can find my photos?
Thanks for the help!

iLife requires 10.4.10, I believe. Have you updated back to that OS?

Where to find System Restore physical disc replacement?

Alright so I got an older model Notebook/Tablet PC and Tried Windows 8 on it, since Win8 is really App Intense and set up for Touch Screen type interface and all that.
Well... fingerprint reader and lots of other things simply don't work. Tried all the work arounds I could as well and it's just a no-go. So I figured "hey let's use that fancy Restore Drive"
Well... restart PC, hit F11 and.. nothing happens. It just boots normally.
So I got into bios and extend the time, thinking it didn't catch, and then try again... and again.. and again....
No Luck... Curious, I open up the D:/ and there is only 1 file seen....
&drvmig&     1Kb in size...
But the D:/ says it uses up over 40Mb.... so that's.. highly unusual.
Since I didn't set up a Windows Vista/Windows 8 Dual Boot...   I am stuck on 8, with a mostly non-working system. Even the wifi is having problems. (Had to wait and get home to the Desktop to write this)
Anyway.... to sum up the story... I have been trying to find the "restore Your System" disc the paper it came with was referring to - since the Discless option is apparently a No Go (unless maybe someone else has something to try?)
The paper says I can order a replacement disc blah blah. I know it's a few years old and all - but the discs have got to still be around. I have to have my Wacom Drivers fully functional - as well as the fingerprint scanner (which appears to not want to install at all - even after multiple tries.)
This question was solved.
View Solution.

EDIT:.
Tried anyway - it did nothing. It booted as if I had not changed a thing.
It doesn't appear that there is a order option either, HP support is terrible, worse then I had ever imagined. They should be ashamed of themselves for cutting so many corners.
The Tablet I purchased is a known defective system. It's design has many flaws that cause it to fail usually within 1 year and 2 months of use. Sometimes sooner given climates.
HP refused to make it a public known thing and refused to give it a recall - instead they keep blaming it on other things and never getting the issue resolved.
I expected 4 years after the last models were made - they would at least acknowledge this problem - at least fess up to it.   This is not the case.
I came to the Support forums to see if my problem could be fixed. HP apparently doesn't care at all.
I will move on to illegal ways to settle my problem - since HP doesn't care about my system anyway, as well as take the chance -every chance I get - to notify everyone interested in a HP to simply Not buy instead.     We'll go Dell or Toshiba depending on our needs.
HP certainly needs to be shut down.   Bad products, bad support, and skirting around solutions so fingers won't be pointed at them for making a mistake.
Mistakes happen, HP.    What makes other companies so good compared to you - is they fess up to the mistakes and try to make it better for those effected by them. This doesn't mean giving away millions of dollars - simply stating "We messed up, but here is how you can fix the problem once and for all" - is all that is needed.
In my particular model of Tablet, there is some sort of "fuzzy carpet" on one of the die, and the GPU has a thick thermal pad connecting it to the heatsink. These are the first problems.     Replace the thermal pad witha 1mm or 1.2mm thick pure copper plate, and use some good thermal grease such as arctic silver 5 on both of it's sides. If you want it really secure- use some high temperature silicone caulk around it's edges like a frame so it bonds it in place and won't slip. Replace the carpet with new grease as well, and your connections to the heatsink should be perfect.
Drops temperatures up to around 30C.   Since the system has been known to hit over 100C frequently - and cause irreverseable damage - dropping 30C is a major victory.
I want you to keep in mind this "fix" requires almost No knowlege of computers, around $8 in supplies to buy everything (with shipping and handling and inflated ebay prices), and less than 1 hour of work to do.
So why, exactly, couldn't HP fix their own models 4 years ago? It was simply the thermal pads they used! They didn't remove enough heat, and actually cuased heat build up on top of the CPU and GPU! Copper to Copper connection allowed the heat to flow up and out of the system as it was intended, and solved overheating once and for all!
Microsoft had a similar issue with their original Xbox360's, The RROD. The heating problem was fixed by - you guessed it - fixing the spacing between the GPU and CPU's contact to the heat sinks. This was another "1mm" fix.
Obviously quality control slipped in both cases - however Microsoft is still booming because they flat out replaced the defective systems (sometimes with brand new systems depending on when you did it) and said "we are sorry."
HP however, has not. This is why you fail HP. This is why people are upset. If there wasn't a problem - we wouldn't be finding ways to modify the systems to fix them. But still.. you won't admit there are problems that YOU over looked in manufacturing.
Confess you made a mistake.   At this point in time (4+ years after the model was released) No one is going to care much if they can't get replacements. That's what Ebay is for. You won't be out money. You will simply do what you have needed to do the entire time- which will HELP your customers stay loyal.
HPs new motto should be "Go cheap, and don't care, we do."

Cant do system restore Compaq Presario windows XP

HI
I am try to reinstall windows to a Compaq Presario SR1000 windows XP but when I click F10 on boot which is the system restore option it just asked about starting in safe mode etc. (I have tried most of the function buttons but all the same or bios)
the system has been restored once before and there are no programs on the computer for creating new recovery disks.
The D drive recovery partition is still there.
I have looked on the website but can not see any software to install to help other than update.
How Can I do a system restore or create disks if the software is not there.
Thanks

Cant find system backup in Time machine disk

I use two Macs, one iMac and one Macbook Pro.
both are being backuped on the same Time Machine, but with different users.
Before changing disk on iMac I made full backup (700GB) and could see the files in the directory and I got no error messages when creating the backup.
I restarted the iMac with CmdR and I now find the Time Machine disks, one for the iMac and one for Macbook Pro. When choosing iMac (where I know there are files in the folder /timemachine imac/imac.sparsebundle/bands) it can not find any system backups and no backups to choose from! For the Macbook Pro backup I can find a lot of didfferent system backups to choose from!
Very annoying as I can see files in the backup folder for iMac in the Synology NAS 212j, Time Machine.
Please help me as I do not have access to my old disk (warranty disk from Apple)!
Greatful for all tips!
Thanks in advance!

Check Time Machine Preferences/Options to make sure nothing is being excluded.

System restore broken right after recovery

I just did a recovery on my X1 laptop. I put the recovery on a USB stick before I did the reinstall. I noticed my system restore was not working. It would say it would work, but no restore points are found.
When I first went to the System Restore properties, there were two C: drives. It was enabled on the one listed as (MISSING), and disabled on the one with the Windows logo. I attempted to enable on the proper drive and got it they way it should be like so:
Now when I try to create a restore point I get this error:
Everything I have found says to do a "Repair" on Windows 7. I can't even do that since all I have is the OEM recovery media. But if I re-image, I will be in the same boat as I am in now. I find system restore to be a huge asset and use it all the time. I am stumped on what I can do to make it work.

For whatever it's worth, this happens to me everytine I do a restore from an image. All I do is to select the C drive that is missing and and turn off the restore function. Then I select the remaining C drive and enable the restore function and everything is then normal until I do another restore. I don't know why it does it but I think it's something screwy with Win7 getting confused with drives before the drivers are loaded.

Cant find dates for system restore

I have been getting unexpected shutdowns on my 835-P360. It goes to a blue screen and reboots to my Toshiba
start-up screen.
I have received a few different messages, but most recently:
API MS WIN-Service-Core-L1-1-0.dll is missing from your computer
I have somewhat limited computer knowledge, but I have done a system restore on my other computers. When I went to do that on this one, I do not have any dates to pick from. I bought it in June, but I don't get a calendar to select restore points. All I can do is create my own and it only ends up taking me back a few hours.
I want to go back at least 3-4 weeks, before the problem started. I really want to avoid having to move all my files and do a complete restore to original settings.
Any ideas how to go back a few weeks?

It sounds like for some reason no System Restore points were created at that time on your computer. Unfortunately, there's nothing you can do about that now.

I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes so I want to restore it. Dont want to lose my files from my iPad.

Actually I have 2 problems: I cant find my pdf/ibooks on computer after backing up my iPad (they are on my iPad). I looked under Ipad, I Books, PDFs, and it doesn't show them on the computer. How do I manually transfer these files?
Also, I'm having issues with my Ipad turning off about every 2 minutes, and I want to restore it. I want to make sure all of the files are backed up before I restore. My trouble started when I was trying to update my IPad but it was taking too long (internet was scetchy) so I powered off...now Im having problems. I haven't tried to update again since this problem. Any suggestions? Should I restore? Should I update to 7.0.6? (currently 7.0.3).

How do i restore missing files for i work 09 as it is asking me to reinstall but cant find the disk?

how do i restore missing files for i work 09 as it is asking me to reinstall but cant find the disk?

Hello Jessica472,
It sounds like you need to recover some missing files but do not have access to the iWork '09 disc you used to install it. If you have a Time Machine backup and know what files you need, you can use the "Restoring specific files or folders" section of the following article to restore them:
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
If you do not have Time Machine, you will need the disc to reinstall the software suite.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
