  • How do I perform a system restore in Windows 10?

    QuestionHow do I perform a system restore in Windows 10?
    AnswerNote: This article is about Windows 10. Separate articles are available on performing system restore in Windows 8 and Windows 7.
    System restore rolls your system files back to a restore point from a previous date. You can make restore points manually, but Windows will also make them automatically. This will undo system settings, changes from Windows Update, and changes from newly installed software (including removing software installed since that restore point).
    Your data, documents, and most programs won't be changed. This makes system restore a great place to start when you're having a problem and don't know how to fix it.
    System restore reverts drivers installed since the restore point was created. Programs and apps installed since the restore point was created will also need to be reinstalled.
    To view other recovery options in Windows 10, read this article:
    What recovery options are available in Windows 10?
    To perform a system restore, follow these steps:
    Open the Start Menu and select Settings.
    Select Update & security and then Recovery.
    Under Advanced startup, select Restart now.
    After the computer restarts to a screen with various options, select Troubleshoot.
    Select Advanced options and then System Restore.
    When you reach an account selection screen, select an account.
    Enter your password and select Continue.
    Follow the prompts, choosing your desired restore point. (You'll most likely want to use the most recent restore point from before the problem started).
    You can also watch this video to learn how to perform a system restore:

    If you want to create an image of the entire disk, then `dd' is an option. But you can also use ufsdump to create an image of a filesystem running on that disk, but you need to do that for every filesystem on the disk and please keep a copy of you vtoc for the future if you need to restore everything.
    On the other hand you make me thing about someone who wants to clone machines and then a Flash Archive can also be an option. Please keep in mind to ask the question in the future instead of conformation of your answer ;-)

    Pretty sure it doesn’t say there is not enough room in iTunes library because it is not backed up to the iTunes library.
    What is the exact message?

    Hi,
    You can use SimpleDateFormat class under java.text package.
    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("dd-MMM-yy h:mm a z", new Locale());
    //formatter.setTimeZone(timezone);
    String dateTime = formatter.format(new Date());

  • After I restored my ipad I chose itunes restore. now how can I get my info of which is backed up from icloud?.

    hi all!
    Reseting ipad, we are asked to restore info from icloud or itunes. If we choose icloud, the info will be restored, but the apps on the ipad should be downloaded from app. store! because icloud can't save the applications. and If we choose to restore with itunes, the apps will be loaded quickly ,But still we need our info in icloud. and if we go to icloud backup , from ipad settings, we just have one choice: back up now! that backs up the new info, not our backed up info. but we need our backed up info.
    After I restored my ipad I chose itunes restore. now how can I get my info of which is backed up from icloud?

    My friend wanted to get some music off my itunes
    This is called "stealing". You do not have the legal right to give her the music you have in your iTunes library unless you are the copyright holder.
    when syncing it it said she had to update her phone software first
    That's not quite what it said.  Someone should have paid more attention to the great big warning about the possibility of losing data if the phone wasn't backed up.
    We cannot find her new photos. Please help and there was 100 new pics. Is there any way we can get them back. I already have the program Asoftech - but it doesnt seem to register the iphone only C and D drive. Please help!
    It restored the backup that was made on your computer 6 months ago, which did not contain those photos. You're wasting your time trying to find them on the phone. They don't exist.
    Hopefully, your friend syncs her phone to her own computer on a regular basis. She needs to plug her phone into her computer and restore it from her last backup. That will restore it to the state it was in when the backup was made.
    She also needs to get in the habit of extracting the photos on a regular basis, like she would from any other digital camera.

  • How can I open a System 7 CD on my Mac 10.6.8?

    How can I open a system 7 CD on my Mac 10.6.8?

    System 7 never came on a CD.  It might have come on a floppy.   Do you mean System 7.6 or 7.5 CD?   There is no way legally to do so on a 10.6 running computer. You need a Mac from 1995 or 1996 or 1997 that supported that disc.    System 7 history is here:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/System_7 
    Note, if no Mac model is stated on the CD, it will run on the older Macs assuming the right amount of RAM is installed, and the CPU supported by that system.   A Mac normally will not run an older Mac OS than it shipped with.  And Mac model specific CDs will only run on that age of that model that CD shipped with.

  • How can I disable the system feature which automatically restarts applications i had open during a previous session ?

    How can I disable the system feature which automatically restarts applications i had open during a previous session ?

    When you log out, uncheck the box to reopen applications. If you're still using 10.7.3, then you will have to uncheck the back with each shutdown or restart.
    10.7.4 update was suppose to fix it that when you uncheck the box, it should remain unchecked for restarts after that.

  • How can you redo initial system setup macbook pro

    How can you redo initial system setup macbook pro?

    Like when Setup Assistant fires up and lets you migrate? In general, that would imply having to do a complete reinstall. And I've always been under the impression that when you do that, the reinstall software does not contain all the extra goodies that come with a new from-factory install (such as iLife).
    But as Prof. Kappy wants to know, the specifics are very version dependent.

  • HOW CAN I EXTRACT THE SYSTEM DATE?

    HOW CAN I EXTRACT THE SYSTEM DATE?

    import java.util.*;
    import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
    public class date2{
        public static void main(String[] args){
            Date today = new Date();
            SimpleDateFormat output = new SimpleDateFormat();
            String answer = output.format(today);
            System.out.println(answer);
    }If you want to make it prettier, you can look at using a locale, or a pattern string in the SimpleDateFormat constructor. Read the Documentation.
    Note that new Date(), constructs a Date with the current Time,
    you could also use: new Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
    Hope this helps

    I don't get it: what you posted gives a list of all the languages (and I don't see what awk brings to the party).
    Hmm. On my laptop the first bit gets me the list of languages as they appear in the listing in the International preferences pane:
    (en, de, es, ja, fr, it, nl, sv, nb, da, fi, pt, "zh-Hans", "zh-Hant", ko)
    So I piped that to awk to pull out just the first one (they're ordered just like they are in the prefs pane, with the current language first). But that gives me some extra text:
    (en,
    So I piped that to sed to remove the comma and parenthesis. That gives me the current code, which in my case was "en" (or "de" if I switched the language).
    defaults read -g AppleLocale
    gives me en_GB. So maybe this last is better for you?
    Well, sure, if you want to do it the easy way. But where's the fun in that? Seriously though, I get en_US, which is a more accurate and complete view of my settings...

  • HT4623 After updating my iphone through iTunes I cant open it. It ask me to restore my phone. How can I open it without restoring ?

    After updating my iphone through iTunes I cant open it. It ask me to restore my phone. How can I open it without restoring ?

    Go into your iTunes preferences and select devices (on a Mac it's iTunes > Preferences > Devices; on PC it's Edit > Preferences > Devices). This will show you any and all iTunes backups you have, including your phone. If you don't see any backups, then you don't have one in iTunes.
    With iCloud, if you've got a backup you can view it using an iOS device that's logged in with your iCloud (apple ID) account. You go into Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > Manage Storage and see if your phone is listed there. If it is, then you have a backup for it. You can click on it to see how large the backup is and what is backed up.
    Don't be afraid to restore it. The worst that can happen is that you lose data. If you have a backup, then you can get that data back. If not, then you will have to start over, but your phone will still work.
