How to restore everything back

i did something in task management that wiped my desk top completely blank. how to i recover everthing back 

When you boot the computer does it say something like "Bood disk not found"?
Did you create recovery disks when you got the computer?
When you reply indicate also the make and model of your computer and version of Windows you were using.

    Plug it into iTunes, Control-click on the iPod in the left frame and select "Restore from backup." Should put it back like new.

  • 10.4.7 caused major kernel panic, how to restore everything again?

    I friend of mine just installed the 10.4.7 update via automatic update and her iBook kernel panicked and we couldn't start it up again without the kernel panic screen appearing right after the Apple insignia. So we started from the install disc and ran Disk Utility which said it couldn't repair the damage to 1 volume. So we've just done an archive and install (as she has nothing backed up) and it seems okay now. So now she's back to 10.3.6. What do we do to get everything back as it was? Do we drag and drop everything from the Previous Systems folder? Does she have to reinstall 10.4?
    Mark

    She had Tiger running fine until this happened last night, so that's not really the issue. It's how to restore everything as after the archive and install, she can't open iPhoto for instance. Will she have to just reinstall Tiger or can she drag the previous systems folder contents to the relevant places and it'll all be back as before? Will the problem she encountered after the update also have a chance of being there again as it was in the previous system that crashed?

  • How to restore from back up when some files are corrupt and crash the restore?

    iphone 4 16gb
    IOS 5.0.1
    iTunes 10.5.3
    History:
    installed iOS5 back on release date. install was interrupted, likely due to high volumes. Completed install. Initial problem noted: unable to add events to calendar. Then problem progressed to "Voice Memo" app crashing. I installed "Quick Voice" app as an alternative. Problem progressed further to an unexplained increase in "other" content on iphone. Last week I tried syncing my phone and received error message that I didn't have enough space to complete sync. Noted then that "other" content was around 5.4gb! Removed "voice memos" playlist from selected playlists to sync under music tab and noted that other content dropped to 4.5gb
    Synced the phone and noticed that it appeared to move through the sync process faster than usual. Sync showed "audio" content and "other" content to be the same size at about 4.5gbs.
    After sync was completed I disconnected the phone and looked at the content of my phone. No apps, No music, No photo albums! SMS texts, Notes and Contacts still all intact on phone.
    Tried multiple solutions including restore to fix the problem. Each time, when the phone is plugged in and mounted in iTunes, it shows audio content at 4.5gb and other content at 4.5gbs yet the phone itself has no music, no apps and no photo albums. It does still have pictures in "camera roll", though.
    After trying many suggested solutions, I gave up and went to Apple store to see the Geniuses (Genii ) They did a firmware update and reset my phone. I was advised to restore from back up. However, when I tried to restore from my back up, it would fail to complete. Unable to restore from back up and sync attempts fail.
    The only data I really don't want to lose is my text message history, my notes and my voice files from "Quick Voice" app.
    Restoring from back up is not an option since I believe there are corrupt files in the back up. So what I want to know is can I restore my phone as a new phone, and then re-install my text message history, notes and the sound files from the "Quick Voice" app? Perhaps using a 3rd party app to retrieve those particular files from my back up and copy them to the phone directly? Or can I create a new back up file and copy those files to the new back up file. Hopefully I would then be able to restore from the newly created back up successfully since the likely corrupt files will be in the old back up file?
    All other information; apps, photos, music and contacts can be re-installed from iTunes.

    Sigh....
    And it just keeps getting stranger! I just disconnected the internet and opened iTunes on my Mac. It opens just fine when disconnected from the internet. iTunes crash seems to be caused when it's trying to connect to iTunes store????
    Really need help!
    1) Why is iTunes crashing when connected to internet?
    2) If I am unable to restore from my back up due to corrupted files within the back up, how can I preserve my text messages, notes and "Quick Voice" app files?

  • I accidentally reset my iPod and now there is only two apps, how do I restore everything back?

    The only apps that stayed was the newstand and the tumblr app ... The safari, photos, videos, etc. are gone too...

    Restore from backup if y have one
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • /new phone syncd to old /how to restore a back up after deleting it

    i recently purchased a new 3g and had been using it before i synced it with my itunes. When i went to set it up it automatically syncd with my old iphone and i now have the old contacts, pics and messages and have lost everything (new contacts, pics/videos, and recent messages.) How do I restore my new phone back to the settings.
    after reading apple online i deleted the old phone back up and now cant restore from that back up.
    is there anything i can do?????

    Transferring the backup for an existing iPhone to a new iPhone is different from syncing. The first time you connect a new iPhone to iTunes that was being used to sync another iPhone, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone to the new iPhone, which can be declined.
    Unless you created a backup for your new iPhone before transferring the backup for your old iPhone to your new iPhone, all the data that was on your new iPhone is lost and cannot be recovered.

    i can t seem to find an easy directions ;(
    thanks

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Do you have a back up?
    How was the back up made - this is quite important because each back up utility has its own way to restore.
    Have you checked the help on your back up?

    Hello ASLieser,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    You cannot view what photos are backed up to iCloud. If you have Photo Stream turned on, you can see what was uploaded in the Photos app.
