How to delete restore points

Can someone please tell me how to delete itunes restore points? I have so many and have never dated them

Go to backup and restore center>create a restore point or change settings>untick the drive or drives that restore points are being made on then apply. It will then tell you that all restore points will be deleted and you answer Ok. i don't use system restore at all. I just make complete backups once a week! I have had problems with System Restore. Hope this helps

How to create restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1

hi i am bhaskar ... how to create restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1 and how to restore system from a restore point in windows server 2008 service pack1.. is this option available or not ? what is the difference between shadow copies and
restore point ? instead of restore point we have this shadow copies option in windows server 2008 ?Bhaskar

AFIK, Restore Points doesn’t exist in Windows 2008.
Volume Shadow Copy option can be used to achieve:
Creating consistent backups of open files and applications
Creating shadow copies for shared folders
Creating transportable shadow copies using a hardware provider — for backup, testing and data mining scenarios
Quickly recovering and restoring files and data
It is more like a file, data, application backup.

How to delete restored contacts in iCloud?

I've encountered an issue that's a 180 from the typical inquiry: how to delete restored contacts.
Several months ago I deleted many of my iCloud Contacts as the list was becoming unwieldy. (Used as a contact management database for business, it was numbering in the thousands and slow to search, load, etc.) All of my devices were synced and the process was smooth.
Until yesterday, when out of the blue, all of the deleted contacts returned to iCloud, iPhone and Address Book. No settings from the day prior had been changed.
So, is there a way to re-delete all of the unwanted contacts? Yes, I can go back and manually delete all of them, but that's time consuming, and what's to prevent them from magically returning?

Hey mzhill78
Remove you icloud contact information on all your IOS devices, go to the icloud setting on you ios device and turn off the addressbook syncing, when it asks you "do you want to remove keep the address on your ips device you say NO... So now your MacBook is the only thing syncing too the icloud.
Go to Addresbook and look for the menu option find duplicates.
After that wait for your laptop to sync this too icloud. to check give it about 2 min depending on how many changes log into your icloud account at www.icloud.com and check too see if the syncing has updated whats in the cloud.
If it has then urn on your addressbook syncing in iclouud settings on your IOS devices and all should be back too normal.
Hope it helps,
If this has sloved your problem please mark it as Solved thank you..

How many iPhone restore points are saved?

I recently restored my 3gs restore point onto my new iPhone 4 and everything went great so id like to make sure that that restore point is forever saved on my computer.. is there anyway to make sure of that? I might in the future just reset my phone and start from scratch but id like to make sure that that particular restore point never goes away. Thanks in advance.

If I am understanding what you mean by restore point:
Apple doesn't save any--the next time you create a back up iTunes overwrites the previous back up file. You can save them manually by copying the backup file to somewhere else on your computer, with a date.
On the Mac, the backup file is stored in username/library/application support/mobile sync.
Don't know about windows, but google should tell you (it's helpful in asking questions here if you edit your profile to say what you are using).

How to delete decimal point and adding leading zeros....

Hi,
I have one requirement in the report   i.e.
        <b>Present Value    :</b> 44567.98
        <b>Expected Value :</b> 0000004456798
In the present Value how will I remove that decimal point and how to add those six ing zeros. I tried with CONVERSION_EXIT....but it is not giving. Help me...
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Kumar.

Hi,
Use SPLIT and COMCATENATE fnctions.
Eg: split l_v at '.' into l_v1 l_v2
        concatenate l_v1 l_v2 into l_v.
For adding leading zeros
Use FM CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT.
Eg:
data: tknum type vttk-tknum value '99156'.
call function 'CONVERSION_EXIT_ALPHA_INPUT'
     exporting
          input = tknum
     importing
          output = tknum.

HT4718 how to choose restore point

I need to restore my phone from a recent back up.
where di i find dates to choose from

Punkpok, I think you choose the wrong session for your question. Anyways, I assume you want to restore an existent backup to your iPhone... If so, open iTunes, on devices > right click on your iPhone's name > restore from a backup. A screen will prompt asking you to choose the desired backup date.
Hope it helps you.

Re: Deleting system restore point in XP

How can I delete a system restore point in XP. In Oct 08 my PC date was incorrectly set to Nov 08 and System Restore created various restore points. Now PC date is set to Oct 08 what will happen in Nov? Can I delete Restore points?

Thanks for your input. Problem was that once November arrived I felt the system would be confused by the conflict of dates. In the event I switched off System Restore completely, which wipes out all existing restore points. I then switched it back on and created a new restore point. Only possible drawback was there were then no PREVIOUS restore points, but as everything on PC was working correctly on the day I did this there was no need for previous restore points to be kept.
Once again, thanks for your advice,

Various questions about System Restore Point

How can I delete old System Restore Points?
Is it possible to move the folder that holds them to a different drive then C:?
Can I limit the amount of data System Restore is allowed to have?
I have downloaded the TreeSize program to see what is using up so much space on my SSD and a folder named "System Volume Information" has 17GB of storage. Now I have found out that this is the folder that keeps System Restore Points and I checked
on my restore points. There are too many of them and I was wondering if I could delete some of the old ones? I read on another post that someone said that you could limit the amount of data System Restore is allowed to use. Is this possible?
Best Regards.

Hello HurricaneHojax,
Here I list the requirement, and please correct me if I have misunderstanding:
1. Delete some System restore point
2. Move the folder that hold system restore data to a different drive then C:.
3. Limit the amount of system restore data.
1, We can delete some system restore point.
For more information, please take a look at the following article.
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-hk/windows/delete-restore-point#1TC=windows-7
2,We are not able to move the system restore folder to other Drive.
3, We can limit the amount of system restore data.
For more information, please take a look at the following article about managing the disk space that is used by System Restore.

System restore points disappeared

Taking a look at my system restore points I found there were none. There is no reason I know of for this - system restore was set to ON but restore points were not being created - I turned it off then on again and now it is creating restore points again.
One thing occurred to me was I had been looking at some dodgy "make money on the web easily" sites just out of interest. Does anyone know of any malicious ware that destroys restore points. It would be a sneaky way of stopping the deletion of Spy ware.
Also I noticed some automatic updated from Microsoft had just finished installing - would this have deleted restore points ? From what I read auto updates create restore points not delete them.
Any ideas anyone ?

Hi
I have found this info:
If no free disk space on monitored system drive or on any of the available non-system drives exists, System Restore will purge restore points consistently across all monitored partitions to free disk space. If the free disk space falls below 50 MB on any monitored partition, System Restore will stop monitoring and suspend.
Note: Some users have reported that using the Real Player One utility has deleted restore points. Please review your System Event Viewer log for System Restore events for a volume error event.
But these are Microsoft issues and if you want to know more about such issues with system restore tool you should check this Microsoft info site:

Deleting control points for volume curves

I might be a little thick today, but for the life of me I can't figure out how to delete control points on my volume curves and pan curves. Any help?
TIA

click on the dots, they increase in size, and hit delete. Or you can rubberband them all by dragging an area over all of the one you want gone and then hit delete.

How can you restore photo stream photos back to Apple TV after accidentally deleting from your iPad

After accidentally deleting photo stream photos on my iPad, this deleted photo stream photos on my Apple TV. How can I restore these photos back to my Apple TV and also to my iPad? Suggestions welcomed

If you have a backup of your iPad prior to the date of deleting your photos, you can find them. Otherwise, you might be able to find them.
If you do have this backup, then you'll have to restore your iPad to that point.
If you had a Mac with iPhoto, then when you connected your iPad, iPhoto would store the photos separately from Photostream.
I despise Photostream. It's turned off everywhere on my system. It is one of the most useless pieces of junk that Apple has foisted on my Mac and iOS. But hey, that's just my opinion.

How do I restore column headings in Response table after accidently deleting them? Undo doesn't work.

How do I restore column headings in Response table after accidently deleting them? Undo doesn't work (only seems to go back one level). I also have so many headings I won't be able to type them in manually!

With the help of information from user, ptressel, in [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1032154#answer-673322 a post here about the existence of sessionstore.js when version 33 was released], I was able to easily recover my tabs and tab groups as follows:
# close Firefox and, perhaps, allow a few seconds (30s?) for any final closing of files;
# check to see if you have a sessionstore.js file in your profile folder, named like the one I documented in my original post above;
# if it is not timestamped prior to the discovery of your problem, open the sessionstore-backups folder;
# check if the recovery.js file is suitably timestamped and, if not, the recovery.bak.
# At this point, you are likely to find that none of them are prior to your problem occuring. If so, open your backups of this folder and go through steps 2-4 to find a file prior to your problem occuring.
# When you find a file, copy it to the root of your current profile folder and name it, "sessionstore.js"
# Open Firefox. Mine opened up as desired.
This is a Windows solution. Sorry I can't comment on other platforms, but I'd bet that as this is just a file copy and renaming, it is likely the same.
For Windows users, you may find you need to sign out and login as an administrator in order to access the backups. You need not logoff your standard account, but do have Firefox closed as described above.
Hope that helps.

IPhoto upgrade deleted all my photos - how do I restore them?

Hello, I have just upgraded my iPhoto and it appears that this has deleted all my iPhoto library. Any advice on how I can restore my old photos?? iPhoto appears to have started up as a new user and doesen't have any record of any or my photos or albumns.
Many thanks

I also lost about 4000 photos, folders all empty, after putting older iphoto library onto external hard drive and opening it with updated iphoto.
found the photos in the pictures folder (although anonymously as jpegs, have to open them to identify them) but how do i return them to iphoto? and why are the other 5000 photos still visible in iphoto?
when i open the package contents in the iphoto library on the external hard drive there is a folder called originals which has all the photos in, but iphoto seems not to be pointing to it. hard to explain what i mean but basically the photos exist, i photo library doesnt see them, the other iphoto library on the computer that came with the upgraded version is fine.

Maybe this question has been found already, but I have yet to find the answer. How can I restore my bookmarks after it has been deleted from my 'bookmarkbackups' folder?

So it has been a couple months now since I last cleaned up my bookmarks toolbar. And I could remember a couple of bookmarks tabs I wish I did not delete. I found some articles saying I could try restoring previous versions of my bookmarks from the dates of recent system restore points. But the earliest date I found was of only last week's. I've checked everywhere in my Firefox profile for anything that I could restore to date back into that time, but they too only tracked back as early as last week. I believe the automatic backups Firefox had made during that time has now long been deleted from the system in order to make room for my most current ones. How am I going to be able to retrieve those bookmarks when their aren't any backups available now to restore from?

If you do not have backups of your bookmarks, either in the bookmarkbackups folder or saved elsewhere, then you can't restore your bookmarks.

How much space left for the new System Restore Point(s) creation ??

Sir,
MY LAPTOP : single OS, windows 7 sp1 , ultimate 64 , 2gb ram , 4ghz processor,
kaspersky antivirus full,
total hard disk 150gb, C: 38.9gb, 11.2 gb free space on C: ,
allocation for SR Points for C: 2.73gb (7%)
PROBLEM:(SR Point: System Restore Point)
sir, i am facing a problem of false reporting of the space occupied by a SR Point and so, it is unable to know how much space is left for new SR Points such that the old ones dont get eliminated. Here it is always increasing as the time progresses
    1. I created a SR Point at 9:21PM space occupied being shown 114.97mb
   2. The same SR point showing the space occupied at 9:23pm 115.06mb
   3. After 20 hours it is being shown as 272.36mb !
   4. After sometime ,it would show the space (occupied) even more than the actual allocation for eg.
the full allocation is 2.73gb and it will show 3.1gb occupied by the same single SR Point
      [for solution of the problem i am managing the single SR Point that is by not doing anything that will     trigger the creation of new SR Point(s) ]
SNAP 1 : plz see only one SR Point is there on c:(the other one is system image back up on another drive)
SNAP 2 : Plz see that the space occupied by the same single SR Point is 276.50 mb which was 114.97 mb initially.SORRY , ONLY TWO IMAGES ALLOWED!
HISTORY : since last 6 months the laptop is with me and when I received it, system protection was off. When I made it active , it used to create SR points very frequently for e.g. 10 points in 2 days. So I stopped its automatic creation
2 months back. I disabled both the triggers and the task.
SNAP 3 : both the triggers and task disabled.
NOW
   (.) it makes restore points either manually (by me) or by system in the case of install or updates only,
And I am comfortable with it !
   (.) SR Point restore is full success !
   (.) but the PROBLEM is there !
So,
Is something wrong going to happen to the hard disk ?
Is it a malicious activity ?
Does a full defragmentation for a drive deletes all the restore points on the drive ? (it happens here!)
How should I proceed ?
