I did a system restore to a previous state now can't open I-Tunes
To cut a long story short my windows XP PC is having problems so I have done a system restore to 1 month ago. The problem is that I can't open I-Tunes now. First it said that I need to uninstall & reintsall ITunes because it can't open quick time, so I went to my program files and opened quicktime manually which opens ok (although it may be an older version). When I then try and open i-tunes it says that it can't read my library because it has been updated since, and nothing happens. If I then re-set my PC back to today then everything is fine again. I believe that I-tunes last updated itself on 3rd June, but my PC problems happened before that so I need to restore my PC to an earlier state.
I have over 3500 songs in my I-tunes libary, about 200 purchases and about 20 playlists and I am worried about losing them all if I re-install as suggested. Can anyone help me please????
Or is there a way to transfer my i-tunes library over manually so that it opens it ok?

Use the directions from this article to find an itunes database that will work.
Surely one of the files in the *Previous iTunes Libraries* folder will work.

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
T-BILLHmmm. 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:

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.

After uninstalling program, I have also deleted all folders in program flolder associated with mozilla firefox; However the last time none had been put there. Also went into registry and deleted firefox named files. Now just going in circles.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== update downloaded a few days ago and computer restarted.A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, maybe after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.

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.

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 did a system restore on my computer. When I had it up and running again, I downloaded the latest version of itunes. Now I can't sync apps to my sons ipod. What can I do to fix this?
If you have iTunes 11 turn on the Sidebar. Go to iTunes>View and click on Show Sidebar. You can also do a Crtl+S to show the sidebar and Control+B to show the Menu bar
To sync to your iPod go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Sync your iPod....>Sync You Device>Set up Syncing and follow the instructions. -
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.

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
Unlike music/vids/etc, you can redownload apps

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?

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 popXP Home Edition.

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.

Leopard. Did a full restore from Time Machine. Now I can't access my other internal and external drives. I get the following error: The folder “Capture Video” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents. I have repaired permissions pn the main harddrive. When I try too click on a disk I get the previously stated error. I can't even open up information to see what permission/access there is. It simply will not let me see the content. It shows the content of my main hard drive when I have clicked the other harddrive's name.
Solved:
sudo chflags 0 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chown 0:80 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod 775 /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU"
sudo chmod -N /Volumes/"FCP Time Machine BU" -
I had to do a complete system restore on my computer and now I am having issues getting all my music back. It's telling me that my account is in use with a different user but I'm the only user on my computer. When I go to sync it, it wants to delete all my music and ringtones. What should I do? I don't want to loose all my items.
When in recovery mode you can't backup the iPod.
You will have to restore via iTunes. See:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
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 iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -
