HELP R&R will not restore

Thank You in advance. I have used this system for 10 mo and have never been able to reliably backup despite all of what the settings are. They have been set to backup daily but seem to back up when it feels like it. Last backup was 3/19/08.
On to the issue. I did a system update and installed all of the updates. Upon restarting and having the normal issues with displays need to be reset all seemed well. I have AutoCad installed and upon opening a drawing AutoCad no longer works. Not good when you make your living with it. I have tried to restore to the 3/19 date and it seems to Hang with no progress indicated in the progress bar. I let it run for approx. 20 hours to see if it was "thinking". This morning it had not progressed at all. I have not observed any hard drive activity on either the laptop or the backup hard drive. I restarted the computer this morning to see if it had worked to no avail. It seems to be worse than before. I bought this system thinking it would all play well with everything being Lenovo but it hasn't been the case.
I believe the R&R version is 3.2. XP Pro OS SP2
Again Thank You for checking and tolerating the venting. I will be monitoring this thread closely. If anymore information is need please ask and I will gather it.

Hi again. I started the restore process again 4.5 hours ago, still no progress in the display. It stays at 0%. Should I be entertaining a reinstall and then capturing the data off of the backup???
Maybe restoring from the Windows recovery program????
Any help would be appreciated.

  • Help - my ipod will not restore

    Hi,
    I got a used ipod 3rd Gen from a friend and he was using it on a Mac. I plugged it into Windows XP and windows recognized it but it wouldn't show in itunes. I downloaded the Updater and it said the ipod needed to be restored. I hit the restore button and had to reboot my PC. Once XP came back up, it no longer recognized the ipod. When I open Updater the buttons are greyed out and I can't choose restore again. When I power on the ipod the apple comes up and then I see the plug in graphic and then the screen goes blank. I tried purchasing a AC adapter but I get the same thing as before, the apple and then the plug in graphic.
    Any ideas/suggestions?

    In some cases, the iPod might get into a state in which the battery needs to be drained before it can be reset so try these steps.
    1. Disconnect iPod from all power sources and leave it disconnected for about 24 hours.
    2. Reconnect iPod to the Apple iPod Power Adapter or the computer and reset it.

  • My wives phone will not restore. we have had an apple tech and a verizon tech on this issue. we are trying to restore from a previous backup from iCloud. it is large. but a month now?! Help!

    We restored her new iphone 5s from a backup on icloud from her previous iphone 5. it was restoring for two weeks! we called apple and eventually reset and started over. verizon had us do this again a week and a half later. still, now, its been over two and a half weeks and the phone will not restore from her icloud backup. she has alot of our pictures from the recent past holidays and pictures in icloud that we dont want to loose. along with all her itunes purchases.she is starting to get really upset. i know her backup was a fairly big one but if icloud sold her the storage to do the backup. why cant we get her phone to restore from this icloud backup? Is it the device? is that covered under our apple care? or under our phone warranty? Is it the size of the backup? im so lost and want to help her. I, writing this on the support community to see if you guys can help us. i really dont wat to spend another grand on a phone. thank you for your time. thanks for reading. happy holidays to you all..

    Essentially it would mean another Internet connection yes, however it's your local network that I am wondering about and whether it could be the problem.

  • My Iphone Will Not Restore, Please Help.

    Hello,
    I fell asleep while facetiming, I woke up and found that my iphone will not turn on, which is odd, since I was charging it. I then took it off my charger and then put it back on. The Iphone 4 then showed the Apple Insignia for about 10 seconds, then became a dark screen, then back to the insignia. It did this repeated flashing for a good ten minutes. I then took it off the charger and the phone stopped flashing and it became totally dead. I tried pressing the home button, and the top button, but there was no effect. I then plugged in my Iphone to the computer and put it into recovery mode. I tried to restore it, but it continually keeps getting an error (21). I tried it on a different computer, will not restore, but got a different error (I believe it was the error (1604)). I tried restoring it multiple times, I updated my Itunes to the latest version, I made sure my connection was well. I tried taking my Iphone off of recovery mode, but it did not work.
    I suspect that my problems are due to the fact that my Iphone will not stay on without being connected to a power source, and that is the reason for all the errors. I tried it on different USB ports and different computers. Please correct me if I am wrong, and please help me figure out what I should do next. I do not mind losing all my contacts, but I do mind if I have to spend money on a new phone, afterall, I barely even had this phone for a year.
    So Please, I am begging. Please help me and tell me why doesn't my phone stay on without being connected? Is it because I fell asleep while facetiming and because neither of us hung up it over-heated and killed the battery? Is there an easy way to fix this since I am technologically-impaired? Is there any hope for me and my Iphone's future?
    Any answer will be very much appreciated.
    Thank You.

    It sounds to me like you either got defective parts or otherwise did not make the repair correctly. We cannot help  with self-repairs here, the iPhone officially not user servicable, but you can ask for advice in the forums on ifixit.com, a site which is dedicated to those attempting their own repairs.

    There's a whole lot to read in your post, and frankly I have not read it all.
    Having said that, this troubleshooting guide should help:

    In particular, pay attention to the mobile device support sections near the bottom, assuming you have already done the items above it.

  • Hi, my iphone 5 will not restore through iTunes.  Error codes 2001 and 2006 appear.  Please help.

    Hi,
    My iPhone5 will not restore through iTunes.  Error code 2001 appears and once I received error code 2006.  Please help?

    Error 2000-2009 (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on)
    If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve the issue, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue persists, it may be related to conflicting security software. If the errors persist on another computer and known-good USB cable, the device may need service.

    If iTunes sees the iPod, try a manual install, as pointed out on link below.

    What makes you think I can't use my phone in another country or with another sim.  You obviously can't, but we are hardly going to talk about hacking an Apple phone on the Apple site.  By the way mine is officially unlocked so can swap sims within seconds.

    Open Finder. Go to the "Go" menu in the menu bar. Press and hold Control and click on Library. Go to "Preferences". Find a file named, "com.apple.iTunes.plist" and delete that file. This won't delete your iTunes content. It will reset iTunes. Try it again.
