How to restore system to an earlier date

How do I restore system to an earlier date

Hi Ronda,
If you don't have a backup, you can't really, about the only other way is a relatively painless Archive & Install, which gives you a new/old OS, but can preserve all your files, pics, music, settings, etc., as long as you have plenty of free disk space and no Disk corruption, and is relatively quick & painless...

Just be sure to select Preserve Users & Settings.

How to restore system RAM memory when i run DI batch job process

How to restore system RAM memory when i run DI batch job process
I use SAP-B12005SP53 and i develop with Business Partner Object

HI ALL
TAKE CARE: Nothing was working in VB6, but in .NET it sets the default value !
from help of VS.
When you assign Nothing to an object variable, it no longer refers to any object instance. If the variable had previously referred to an instance, setting it to Nothing does not terminate the instance itself. The instance is terminated, and the memory and system resources associated with it are released, only after the garbage collector (GC) detects that there are no active references remaining.
Garbage Collector distroyes the objects at the end of the sub of function, not in the loop.
So use local variables when you loading the 7000 items. For me working fine and i do not have a memory problems. I am loading 50000 items with prices from EDI file, and memory usage stops at 120MB.
1st solution create a sub or a function to populate the data, and run this for every items by as single rutin,
sub x
    Dim obj As New Object()
        Try
... put here your update code
        Catch ex As Exception
        Finally
            GC.Collect()
        End Try
end sub
This free up the memory when Garbage
2nd solution: use inner loop definition
sub x
Try
            Do While True
                Dim obj As New Object()
            Loop
        Catch ex As Exception
        Finally
            GC.Collect()
        End Try
end sub
This free up the memory inside the loop.
I recommend to use Friend Class keyword for your addon declaration and do not use modules.
Modules and shared classes will be free up the memory when your program terminates execution.

How to restore System Preferences's lock icon?

How to restore System Preferences's lock icon? My Mac's System Preferences's lock icon at the lower left corner disappeared, how to restore?

The solution is in this 5 Feb 2014 post by Dio Gratia:
"Go to the Security& Privacy System Preferences Pane, click the lock icon, authenticate and hit the Advanced button. Check the Require an adminstrator password to access system-wide preferences, hit Okay.
The lock icon will show up again on the Sharing Preference Pane. It should cure the missing lock icon in general."

How do i restore Thinkpad to an earlier date

I need to restore a Thinkpad (type-2378) T41, to an earlier date or factory setting
How do i do it?

Press F8 while booting to enter Safe mode, then proceed to "restore to an earlier date" when given that choice.
If your recovery partition is still intact, you can press F11 on the boot to restore the system to factory settings.
Good luck.
Cheers,
George

How to restore system databases?

If SQL server system databases crash, what will happen?
If sql server system databases crash, how to fix the issue? Any difference to fix for master, msdb,model temp and distribute?
Thanks

There would be various situation after "crash".
If Master database has corruption after unexpected failure then SQL Service won't start. Only option would have is to rebuild system databases and follow the article given by others to restore system databases.
If SQL Service is able to start and reports corruption in model database then there are two ways to fix it.
Get MDF and LDF file of model from other SQL Instance which has EXACTLY same build and replace the files.
If you have important data in model database, then you would need to restore. Follow the links given by other
TempDB database is not eligible for backup and restore.
MSDB database can be restored if SQL is running.
Distribution database can be restored when SQL is running. Provided no one accessing it.

How can I Quickly Navigate to Earlier Dates in Calendar?

Since the search function in Calendar only appears to work for the previous year, the only way that I have found to go to calendar events prior to that involves laboriously clicking backward month by month. This is a real pain if I need to find something from, say 2001. Is there a quicker way to jump to an earlier date?

if there is i havent found it yet...
suggest it to apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipodtouch.html

How to restore firefox to a certain date?

Hi
My firefox crashed. After that I by mistake closed session restore tab and continue browsing. But know I would like to restore previous session (date 9th October). Is it possible to just restore firefox to a certain date?
Regards

No. Firefox only keeps a copy of the current session and copies the session data from the previous session (sessionstore.js) when Firefox starts to a sessionstore.bak file to make it possible to restore the previous session via History > Restore Previous Session.

I can only get Firefox to start if I restore my system to an earlier date (the previous day for instance). If I just close down Firefox I cannot sart it up agian without a system restore -- yet it does not show as a task which is running after I click ont

Thank you for your help Nattgew.
Boinc is already running in the background as a service. There is no need to run "boinc" on the command line. The error you see is because it is trying to start Boinc again from the command line, but the service is already running and has claimed the port 31416.
I know, it was in order to give all the possible feedback.
I'm not sure why boincmgr won't connect... could you be more specific about what happens when you run it?
No, I can't be more specific than I've already been above. I've described all that I see that happens.
Other than that, the wiki tells you where to look at the log file (make sure there are no errors there) and explains the password for connecting (sounds like you already took care of that, but good to double check).
As you can see I've searched all the errors I got in the boinc wiki. I know what they mean, but not why are happening.
I think my problems come from a bad management of the files permissions by the package installation. I mean, when a package is installed there should be an script or something that modifies (or create the files with) the permissions that files must have, or create the groups that need to be created, and so on. But it looks like I have to modify all this data in order to get boincmngr connect to boinc, boinc and boincmngr get the writting permissions in the installation folder too, etc etc etc. I don't know very well how to do all this stuff (I mean that I've already created by hand the boinc group, changed the execution, access, modification of files with users and boinc groups credentials, and I still get silly errors as "boinc can't write" in a folder which is the owner, or can't write executed by the root. All this stuff messed me up because looks too much stupid), but more important, I shouldn't to do it manually after a package installation.
I should open a bug report in arhlinux first and if they can't solve the problem open it in the boinc support, I suppose.

Replaced system board? How to restore system serial number with a CD.

I have an l412 with a defective system board- would not POST. So I replaced the system board (it's a year out of warranty) and booted up, only to be met with an error code about a sytem serial number mismatch. Boots OK, but system update does not work (because of the serial number mismatch).
The instructions for WHAT to do about this are in the online service manual http://download.lenovo.com/ibmdl/pub/pc/pccbbs/mobiles_pdf/60y3635_02.pdf
When the computer was manufactured, the EEPROM on the system board was loaded with the serial numbers of the system and all major components. These numbers need to remain the same throughout the life of the computer.
If you replace the system board, you must restore the serial number of the system unit to its original value.
You need the LENOVO ThinkPad Hardware Maintenance Diskette to do this. This floppy disk is only available to certified Lenovo service centers. Or those who know how to use google. Versions 1.75, 1.76 and 1.83 are the ones I have used. If you can't find them, you probably should not be trying this anyway.
You read that correctly- DISKETTE. As in floppy disk. How many laptops have one of these? Now you see the problem.
The real trick is HOW to do this- without a USB floppy drive. If you have one of these, stop, you don't need to know this.
For the rest of us....
First, find a computer with a floppy drive. Any computer.
Extract/install the HMD archive onto it. Follow the instructions in the file to make an HMD floppy disk.
Use this program http://www.boodaa.de/index.php/download-mainmenu-31/bootdisk2bootstick-mainmenu-44 to make an image of the floppy. Be sure to save it as a .img type, not .bin
Use this program http://paulski.com/zpages.php?id=1814 to create a bootable CD image using the floppy .img file you just made.
Burn the ISO to a CD and boot from it.
At least on my L412, it works!

you can only download the trial version unless you purchased from adobe and there's a link under your account, https://www.adobe.com/account.html

How to restore deleted, but not erased, data?

I just restored my iphone, from an older backup. itunes says that the information is deleted from the device, but not erased. How do I recover this deleted information?

I have never seen a message where iTunes states that data is deleted but it has not been erased.
The only way that you can recover that data - and data is a somewhat vague term because it can refer to so many different things such as documents, contacts, notes, etc. - is to restore from a backup that contains that data or if you have a local copy of that data stored somewhere on your computer you can import it again via File Sharing, email, DropBox, etc.
So I guess at this point the next question is what data are you trying to recover?

How to Restore System Preferences From Time Machine

Hi,
Is there any way to restore past system preferences using Time Machine (such as desktop photo, trackpad settings, screensaver, etc.)? I would like to revert to some of these past settings without restoring my whole system from the backup disk & DVD.
Thanks in advance!

You can do that, but you have to figure out which preferences you want, and what file(s) they're in. And there are about a zillion of them!
Most user-level preferences you set via System Preferences are in one big file:
*<home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple/systempreferences.plist*
but a few are in separate files, such as:
*<home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.screensaver.plist*
System-level preferences, such as Time Machine's preferences, are in separate files in the top-level Library folder:
/Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist
or one of several files in the sub-folder:
/Library/Preferences/SystemConfiguraton
Other preferences, such as all your Mail accounts, rules, etc., are in separate files at the user level, such as:
*<home folder>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist*

How to restore system settings with Time machine?

Is there a way to restore just system settings using my TM backups? The latest apple update killed all my settings and i'm hoping TM can help me get them back.

your profile suggests your on 10.4.10 (while you're posting in the 10.6.x forum). have you tried installing the _*10.4.11 combo update*_ to see if that fixes things ?

How to restore the default time and date?

HI i have encountered with a problem very i have got in screen, one date field and input field TEXT Field name i have give as the <tablename-<tablefield>> like ZFIR-DATES reason giving name like this is i want to save the date in a table ZFIR when i click save. When i am clicking save date is storeing but the problem is date is not displaying defaultly.....on the screen
codeing part..
DATE(10) TYPE C.
before output screen no 100
DATE = SY-DATUM.
Thks

The format of the variable on the screen needs to be the same as the global definition - if it's a date field on the screen then you should have something like
data:
g_date like sy-datum. "naming convention g = global
and g_date on your screen as a date-type field, then in your PAI where you store ZFIR
ZFIR-DATES = g_date.
