How to do selective restore of additional applications on L series

Hopefully, this won't be necessary, but it's nice to try and find out how just in case it is needed later on.
I know how to do a complete restore to the factory state with eaither the recovery partition or the DVDs.
However, after a lot of effort to customize has been spent, most customers wouldn't want to go backj to factory state just because they inadvertently got rid of (or damaged) one of the additional Toshiba applications.
Using a third party backup/restore program (and excellent one is Acronis True Image) might help in restoring any files, but not if an actual installation process is needed to restore everything properly in Windows eyes.
Is there any way to selectivly "reinstall" specific applications?
Thanks......

Thanks to PauPau and Kearny frr your responses.
As I mentioned and PauPau suggested, I do have a good backup restore program that would do a complete disk image restore if necessary. I was thinking more of a possible need to reinstall a specific Toshiba application.
I have gotten this laptop for my son, and hopefully he will think and ask before removing any applications. I have the source for all the ones I added for him, so they wouldn't be a problem. But he may look at something and think he'll never use it and uninstall it to save space (why with a 500G hard drive and an external one as well, I don't know ;-)).
The type of applications I was referring to are the collection of items under "TOSHIBA" in the Start Menu which is expanded further in several places, most noticeably under "Utilities". And to answer your other question, these are all of the preinstalled ones.
I didn't find any reference to individual applications her on the Toshiba site, but I did find what might be a collection of everything; possibly what is called the TVAP or Toshiba Value Added Package.
Is everything found in that one download? And if so, can you select individual items to reinstall them, or do you have to reinstall everything?
Wait....I think I answered one of my own questions......the description of the TVAP lists only a few of those applications, and further down, it doesn't include any Satellite models in the list. So I guess I'm still searching.
I'm hoping I won't need to, and because I believe in the old rule: "If it ain't broke, don't fix it!" I don't want to experiment before I give him the laptop.

OK. after having my morning OJ ;-), I did finally find the right pages where the list of individual applications are found, Now what I have to do is bookmark that page or write down how I found it in case I do need it later.

HT1414 How do I selectively restore photos from a backup to an iphone?

I need to recover some space on an iphone to upgrade to ios7. Photos now occupy that space. I want to do an itunes backup (sync) to my PC, download ios7, then selectively restore some of the photos to the phone, leaving the rest in the backup file until I can archive them in another file. I don't want to destroy the photos left behind, just not reload them on an iphone. Any ideas?

You can't do that. The restore from backup process is all or nothing. There is no supported way to selectively restore data. Why don't you just import the photos from your camera roll, then sync what you want on the phone back to the phone?
You should be importing camera roll photos anyway.

How can I "selectively" restore my iPhone 6 Plus backup onto my iPhone 5?

Hey guys,
I have backed up my iPhone 6 Plus 128GB to my laptop and now I want to restore this backup onto my old iPhone 5 16GB model. But, I only want the Contacts, Notes & Apps from my 6 Plus Backup to be restored onto my iPhone 5 because my iPhone 5 16GB has too little storage and so the whole 6 Plus backup won't fit. How can I do this?

Yes.

I think it's QuickTime player causing the problem, when I try to open it I get the windows error that an error has occured
Let's try swapping out your QuickTime again, taking a few extra explicit precautions this time.
Head into your Add/Remove programs. uninstall QuickTime.
Next, we’ll manually remove any leftover program files and folders.
1. On the Start menu, click My Computer (or double-click My Computer on the Desktop).
2. In My Computer, open Local Disk.
3. Open Program Files.
4. Right-click on the QuickTime folder and click Delete from the shortcut menu.
5. Navigate to C:\Windows\system32\.
6. Remove the files QuickTime.qts and QuicktimeVR.qtx. (If “Hide filename extensions for known file types” is enabled on the PC, then those two files will appear as “QuickTime” and QuickTimeVR”.)
7. Restart your computer.
Now download and save a copy of the latest standalone QuickTime installer to your hard drive. (We'll run the install from there rather than online.)
Latest Quicktime Installers … get the one that doesn’t mention iTunes
Switch off antivirus and antispyware applications prior to the install. Start the install by doubleclicking the QuickTimeInstaller.exe.
If that install goes through okay, restart the PC and try launching iTunes again. Does your iTunes launch properly now?
(If you get an error message on the QuickTime uninstall or standalone reinstall, let us know what it says. Include error message numbers if you're getting any.)

How can I restore just one application from Time Machine?

Hello, I have just one application that is really acting quirky and won't load correctly anymore and I would like to restore that application from Time Machine but am just not sure how to do that. Can someone please walk me through step by step on how to restore just one application. Thank you. Jean
Message was edited by: anokienurse

Before you restore an application from a Time Machine backup it would be wiser to remove the current installed copy then reinstall from the application's original distribution medium - download, CD/DVD, etc. The reason for this is that Time Machine backs up every hour. By now the bad version of this application is now backed up to your Time Machine backup drive. Restoring from the backup won't resolve your problem.
First, uninstall the old program. If the program came with an uninstaller then use it. If not then start by deleting the application from the Applications folder. Then locate all the support files associated with the application and remove them, too. Look for these in:
/Users/yourusername/Library/Preferences
/Users/yourusername/Library/Applications Support
Applications may come with a separate uninstaller program that could also be in your Applications folder. Some applications may install other files in other locations on your computer. If you tell us what the application is we may be able to provide additional help.

IBooks 3.1-all PDF books in my Collections disappear after updating to 3.1 on iPad 4 ios 6.1.2! How do I recover or revert to previous version? (Can one do selective restore of back on iTunes?)

Just updated iBooks app on my iPad 4 to ver 3.1. Upon launching iBooks 3.1 briefly saw my PDF books on my Collections bookshelves then they suddenly disappeared! (Purchased Books are still present)
How do I recover all my PDF titles in my Collections?
Can one revert to the previous version of iBooks?
How can one do a selective restore from iTunes backup of iPad on PC? (Don't have iBooks running on Mac/PC)

You've tried tapping on the Collections button at the top of the bookshelf to see if they are in a different collection ? If not then do you have a copy of them in the Books part of your computer's iTunes library (though PDFs aren't iTunes purchases, if you've done 'transfer purchases' whilst they were on the iPad then they should have copied over) ?
ibooks and PDFs aren't included in a device's backup, so if they aren't in your computer's iTunes library and/or you don't have your own backup copy of them then they won't be on your computer (for info there isn't an iBooks app/program for a Mac or PC).

WAD template with BSP Application - how to read selection screen values

Hello,
I've created Web template with Web Application Designer (WAD).
I would like to extend that page with BSP Application...
Purpuse of this application is to read some information from tables
on BW transaction server and display them within Web page.
Question: How to read selection screen values from a Web template ?
Thanks for any help,
Pawel Borowiec

Hi,
The selection screen parameters will be on an inputField, so try and get the is of the inputfield generated by doing View source...
And once you get the inputfield Id, you can read the value in the InputField(InF) by
using the following code...!
data : if_value type ref to cl_htmlb_inputfield.
data : variable type string.
if_value ?= cl_htmlb_manager=>get_data( request = request
                                            name    = 'inputField'
                                            id      = 'InF_ID_here'
       if if_value->value is not initial.
         variable = if_value->value.
       endif.
Hope this helps.

How many pushbuttons u can create in application toolbar in selection scree

Hi
How many pushbuttons u can create in application toolbar in selection screen?
Thank You

Hi,
Use SET PF-STATUS 'ZABC'.
Double click on it.
It will display Application toolbar. Create the buttons.
I think the limitation is bcz of the LABEL of button, if you create buttons with a Single TEXT, then you would be able to create many buttons, including toggle button. The Toggle button would switch the buttons.
i.e say initially 10 buttons are displayed along with toggle button. You click the toggle button , then remaining 10 buttons are displayed.
Best regards,
Prashant

Given what you describe you will have to upgrade Snow Leopard by downloading and installing Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1. Then go to the App Store and sign in with your Apple ID. Purchase and download Mountain Lion to upgrade your OS. Then purchase the latest upgrades for the iLife applications which includes iPhoto.
Or you can go on eBay, Google, or Amazon and purchase another copy of the DVD based iLife.

HT1766 under how to restore it says right click then select restore. I only get eject as an option why

under how to restore it says right click then select restore. I only get eject Why?

The devices that are listed are: 2 under the name of the device that synced incorrectly with mine and then 3 others that are not associated with my itouch. The name of the ipod, before the incorrect sycning is no longer under devices. It has been replaced with the incorrect one because I can see the serial # of my ipod under the wrong name.
The playlists that are in my itunes library are from an ipod that I used a few times before I took this one over... Which happens to be the ipod that took on the ID of my itouch.
Both of these ipods used to be my kids.. I used my sons a few times and then switched to my daughters. They each had their names attachted to their particular devices and now it just says my sons, which is the ipod that itunes was connecting to when all this happened. The really strange thing is my son doesnt use his ipod any longer and now uses his phone for music...So, it had been a while since that particular device was even synced to itunes!
I hope this helps!

Can I restore just One Application through time machine? (vs. Migration)

Hi. I've reformatted my Mac
Instead of Migration Assistant
I want to restore just ONE application (Microsoft Office)
1. I've plugged in my Time Machine
2. Time Machine is Not Configured
3. I Browse Other Time Machine Disks
4. I Use Selected Disk
5. I go to my latest Restore pane
6. I click around until I find the Application Folder
7. I click on Microsoft Office, and I press Restore
Am I doing it correctly? Or am I simply just Drag and Dropping into my Application Folder on my newly reformatted Mac?
Thanks in advance.

That's probably not going to work. When you installed Office, it almost certainly installed other files in other places, and perhaps some "helper" apps, in addition to the main app. Unless you know what and where all those things are, and restore them, too, it's not likely to work well, if at all.
See [Transferring Applications|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/TransferApps.html] for details.
Your best bet is to reinstall it from the original disc.

While the many USB adapters seem to be easier to handle, we have had some bad experiences. Their stability is not always up to the task for industrial applications. This might not be an issue when you only use them to control your RS-232 lab equipment for manual experiments, but in our case we have fully automated lab systems running, where LabVIEW controls sometimes up to 8 serial devices and those applications are supposed to run day and night, if possible for many days in a row without interruption. With many of those noname USB-RS232 adapters we noticed various kind of problems. It could range from intermittent communication errors (which could be handled by additional code in our software to retry communication on such errors) to complete failure of the RS-232 port after some time, which could only got back online by unplugging and replugging the USB adapter.
For our purpose this was completely unacceptable and we ended up using ENET-RS232 devices instead which are working fine for months in a row.

Drive Utility Help Viewer "does not know how to handle selected URL"

I have Drive Utility 10.5.6, according to . I'm trying to reformat a FAT32 partition on an external drive to Mac OS X Ext. Journaled in preparation for using SuperDuper to back up my Mac HD boot partition. For a time, which seems to have passed, now that erasing the partition has been done. The Disk Utility Help wouldn't work. Instead of putting up topic information, I got a message saying "Help Viewer does not know how to handle selected URL", followed by an reference to an html file that allegedly existed inside a set of folders inside the app. Where, of course, Finder cannot see. Once the erasing was done, Help seems to have come back. I tried Apple Support, but could only get a reference to OS 9 Appleworks macros not working in OS X. No help at all. Is this a question? I don't know. Help is working now. But for a while it was very annoying. It must be one of those little windows glitches that no one ever bothered to fix.

In order to change a FAT or NTFS formatted drive for use with OS X you will need to do the following:
Extended Hard Drive Preparation
1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID (for Intel Macs) or APM (for PPC Macs) then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to return to the Erase window.
6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several hours depending upon the drive size.
If you have an Intel Mac and can partition the drive using GUID then you can have FAT32 and OS X partitions on the same drive.
As for problems with the Help viewer see:
In most cases doing the following will restore the Help Viewer:
1. Trash the following three files, if extant:
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.help.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpui.plist
/Home/Library/Preferences/com.apple.helpviewer.plist
2. Trash the /Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.helpui folder.
3. Empty the Trash and Restart.

Selectively restore from Time Machine after reformatting

I just reformatted my drive and reinstalled Mountain Lion and then upgraded to Mavericks. I backed up to Time Machine just before the reinstall. Time Machine did combine my first new backup with the ones before the reinstall, which I can see when I browse through the Time Capsule.
I would like to restore some things from the Time Machine timeline, however when I enter the timeline, the backups prior to the reinstall are named in purple on the dateline and the Finder windows are black and inaccessible. I suspect this is because after the reinstall the computer has a new account name, so the permissions are different on the previous backups with the old account name.
Does anyone know how to get the older backups to be accessible in the timeline? I would like to just selectively restore a few things as needed, and would like to do the "restore from Time Machine" rather than drag copying files from the mounted backup.
