I did a system restore and ... Help!

Hello, with this even my husband can not help... I think I lost ALL my docs after a system resrore, this is what I did. Maybe someone knows what went wrong and help me fix [it if not, at least cry with me].
My laptop is a Satellite A55 with XP Home Edition. Everything started when my laptop stopped seeing the Mat**bleep**a UJDA 760 DVD/CDRW. It said the Driver was either missing or corrupted. Looked for this (##@??!!!!) driver everywhere (I found out that I'm not alone in this...) My husband suggested as a last resort to go for the system restore. I did a System Restore with the Toshiba Recovery and Applications / Drivers Media. It worked the DVD/CDRW was back but now the REAL problem began. As instructed I made a Backup but into a 8G removable HDD. (D:/) because C:/ did not have enough space. On recovery I was not asked for "restore" options in any way, shape or form. Afterwards I could not access my backup files, or restore them. I went to the C:/ Properties > Tools were I started the Backup to begin with but there was no Backup/Restore option. Looking in Help, it said to go to Accessories > System tools > Backup/Restore, but there was not Backup/R option either.
Another detail that "poped up" after this B/R is a pop up blocker that I have never seen before, it appears in the little hand cursor as an ! in red surrounded by yellow and a red border. I don't know were it is, were it comes from or how to turn it off. Any ideas... Sorry for the mistakes the spell check pop up will not pop

You used Ntbackup.exe to make it?
What sort of backup? Data files or what?
If you backed up data files using Ntbackup.exe, you should be able to recover them.

I accidentally deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved it. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open. Is there a fix for this without my Ipod?

I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
Thank You

Hmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

Does your iTunes launch properly now?

ITunes will not shutdown I have to Contrl-Alt-Delete and end itunes.exe and itunes help to get it to shut down and stay closed. I did a system restore and went back to 10.5.1 version and updated to 10.5.3 no dice Windows 7 64 bit

Itunes will not stay close ever since I updated to 10.5.3 version. I try to close program and it pops right back up! The only way to close is open tack manager and stop the itunes.exe and the itunes.help then it will stay close. I did a system restore back to the earlier version of itunes but problem presisted. I finally did the task manager again and downloaded the update to 10.5.3 and this seemed to resolve the problem for awhile but now it is back! Is anybody else experiencing this problem? and where you able to correct it? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit have never had a problem with anything till now. I ran scans of my machine no viruses.

Hi,
i have exactely the same problem.
After the update to v10.5.3 iTunes isn't shutting down anymore. I have this error on various Windows versions (XP SP3, Win7 x86, Win7 x64.
On my private Notebook v10.5.2.11 still works! I won't update iTunes there - not even for a test .

I just did two System Restores (and clicked something that asked me about "[something -exe]," and now Firefox won't open at all.

I hope someone can help. My husband did something to update Firefox (or Firefox just automatically updated today, I don't know which), but I didn't like the new toolbar much, so I did a System Restore to get back the old one. That didn't work, so I then did another System Restore for an earlier day, but when I restarted the computer, Firefox wouldn't open at all.
A pop-up asked me something about "allowing 'something-.exe' at start-up," with options like "Remember this action, don't allow, and allow," I think, and I don't remember what I clicked, and that's likely part of the problem, but in any case, I can't get Firefox to start now. I click on the logo/icon and nothing happens.
I tried to undo both System Restores, but the computer would only restore the most recent one, not both.
And I tried, as suggested on the forum elsewhere, to go into "Firefox Safe Mode," but that didn't help either.
Thank you for any help.

That's what happened to me too after I upgraded to firefox 4 and it wouldn't connect to my internet. Now I'm stuck with Internet Explorer with none of my important personal information like my favorites.

Why am I both unable to open Firefox and unable to uninstall it? I used Firefox regularly until today, but this morning I did a System Restore and other troubleshooting and now Firefox is completely unavailable to me.

I've been having lots of problems with my computer abruptly shutting down lately. This problem '''''might''''' be solved -- it's too early to tell.
When I try to uninstall Firefox, it beeps like Windows is going to uninstall it, then nothing. I close out the Window, then search for it to see if it's gone. It's still there.
I like Firefox, but now I'm forced to use IE. How can I get Firefox back? I don't want to download it until I've uninstalled what's on here now.

First, please try reinstalling Firefox over your current installation. There is very little risk of making things any worse than the system restore function has already done.

Lost all my apps after I did a system restore on my replacement I phone 4

Hi, I got my I phone stolen and got a replacement phone, I did a system restore and everything came over except for all my apps. What can I do? Yes I did back up my phone prior to it being stolen. I did remember seeing all my apps on my itunes at one point.
Does this happen when you try to connect a new iphone with old itunes account?
I might of downloaded a new firm ware for i tunes before I did a system restore on my new iphone 4, could that of triggered my apps being missing?
please help, I have over 100 apps that I don't want to loose. thanks for anyone that knows whats going on...

If your apps were in itunes on your computer, then they should still be there. Just sync them back to the iphone.
BTW, the backup that itunes performs when syncing does NOT include music/apps/movies/tv shows etc.
Anything purchased on the iphone would have to be transferred to your computer. File>Transfer Purchases

Just installed iTunes 10.4.1 and it wouldn't work. Did a system restore. ITunes will not boot. Computer tells me I must reinstall iTunes. How do I do that?

Thanks, but since iTunes will not boot, I cannot run that iTunes diagnostic. Just need to know how to reinstall iTunes (Windows XP). Do I need to remove the existing non working version of iTunes, or can I just install iTunes from Apple like I was a new user?

All my programs are opening in adobe even the system restore and the regisrty - how do I reset all programs to their originall default programs. Please help

all my programs are opening in adobe even the system restore and the regisrty -
how do I reset all programs to their originall default programs.
Please help.
PS I have also tried starting in save mode and still have the same problem.

Hi,
As
BurrWalnut mentioned, first please run a virus scan to eliminate virus infection (if AV program is not opened in adobe)
The files association could be corrupted in your situation, apart from the solution posted in the first reply, I also suggest you check Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set your Default Programs or Associate a file type or protocol
with a progra,, manually check the association and check if it can do some help.
Add: another way to open restore point is launching it in recovery console, please refer to this guide

HT1222 I installed the most recent ITunes update after which Itunes no longer worked.. I received an error message Error 7 Windows 193. I did a system restore to eliminate the update.

Apple support had not responded to my requests for clarification. The update corrupted both ITunes and Office Outlook mobileme. The error message when I tried to start up I Tunes was Error 7 Windows 193. I un installed I Tunes and re installed the latest ver and encountered the same error message. I finally did a system restore. Was this a one time problem or is the update bad. In over 30 years I'd never had a problem with any Apple update.

System Restore and Search/Start Menu

Hi,
On 10061, after an update from 10049, which went fine.   I did something to Network settings so did a System Restore to the point immediately after the update to 61.   This ran successfully, despite showing no info on the progress, just
the cursor arrow.
However, it has completely killed the Search option and the Start Menu.   I understand that the Start Menu has a bug and only worked for a few items, but Run as Admin did work and so did the recommended workaround by using the Search option. Now
nothing works.   It was the access point to Feedback and the Insider tiles too, which have also gone.
Is there way the reinstate Search and maybe the Start too without a reinstall?
Thanks

That's an interesting point and I certainly did. W10 is installed on an SSD on a partition of 54Gb , and had 25Gb free initially.
After restore I am now down to 12Gb and I had moved 8gb of Image Recovery Drivers out already and I have now reset the restore point reducing by a further 3GB. So the overall impact of restore is about 25Gb, which is more than the initial clean
install!
I can't find it specifically but using TreeSize, I can see where is being used now. The System32 folder is also all Drivers @ 8.5GB of the 11.7GB.
urt
I may have to do a clean install again, but it's a pain to reinstall 40 or so app/programs.
Hope this helps.

I have uploaded an old itunes library by mistake - any way that I can go back to my previous library. Unable to do a system restore and I don't know where to find an up to date music/playlist file.

I have uploaded an old itunes library by mistake - any way that I can go back to my previous library. Unable to do a system restore and I don't know where to find an up to date music/playlist file. I was originally trying to recover a playlist that vanished after I had updated one of the ipads, did an online search, followed the instructions only to discover that I had loaded an itunes library from 2 years ago. Stupidly I thought that it had updated itself and didn't realise I had to do it. Any he

See Empty/corrupt iTunes library after upgrade/crash. Hopefully you have a more recent library file that you can restore.
