I need help with restoration of two very old photos.

The first photo, dated 1883, is printed on cardboard. The picture is faded of course, but it appears the cardboard fibers are showing through. Any attempt to sharpen just sharpens the fibers. I tried replacing the color of the fibers and that didn't work either.
The second photo, again very old, has been creased and wrinkled as though someone balled it up in their hand. It is black and white. I haven't a clue on how to fix this.
Thank you for any help
Frances

Are you sure you are seeing the cardboard fibers or was the photo
printed on imitation canvas & that is what you are seeing. Either way
about all you can do is use the smudge tool set at one pixel & go around
& smooth out what looks like fibers or just leave it looking like canvas.

You can try ironing the photo to get it flat. Place the photo face down
on a flat smooth surface & place a moist paper over the back & iron with
a warm iron until most of the wrinkles are out. Then scan it at about
300 DPI. You can then either use the smudge tool in paint mode to fill
the cracks or use a small paint brush.

I NEED HELP WITH MY IPAD RESTORE FROM BACKUP

This is the iPod touch forum and you are not providing any information to help you.

I need help with Restoring my iPod. =/

Okay, so I put music on my iPod using WinAmp, right? Well, the music was unorganized and the quality was terrible, so I downloaded iTunes and transferred the music to iTunes from WinAmp. I also wanted to restore my iPod so I could re-add the music files to it.
NOW, iTunes tells me that my iPod is in recovery mode and needs to be restored. So I restore it, and it STILL tells me it needs to be restored. I swear, I've "restored" this thing like eleven times.
Oh, and to add to the problem, it's suddenly telling me that my iPod has encountered a problem while restoring itself by an "unknown error"
*PLEAE HELP!* I would give you everything I own if I knew you personally, I just want my music. lol

Have you had a chance to look at this troubleshooting page? If not, have a look at the bottom section that covers what to try if the message keeps reappearing: iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode - Use iTunes to restore
Towards the end it says "If after restoring your iPod, the message described above reappears, the iPod drive letter may need to be reassigned. See the "Change the Drive Letter" section of this document for steps to assign a different drive letter" which contains a link to this article: Windows confuses iPod with network drive and iTunes may exhibit strange behavior in relation to the iPod.

Need Help With Restoring My Ipod, Problem seems Unique, please help.

Hi, I have a mini as most of you others do as well. I will outline all the problems and the solutions I have taken to solve these problems, yet they have all failed.
1) When trying to turn my IPOD on I run across the Folder with the Exclamation Point
SOLUTIONS: I have tried to reset, and change the format of the drive, both have failed to solve the problem. When I try to connect the ipod to the computer (in disk mode and out of disk mode) it says The Ipod is corrupt it may need to be restored. So I restore the IPOD and it says Disconnect it and replug it into a power source (which I interpret as the wall charger). After I disconnect it (I have tried just disconnecting it when the menu restarts to the APPLE and disconnecting it by manually selecting the IPOD from the source list to disconnect after waiting) and plugging it into the wall charger I get the folder with the exclamation point again. It seems to be a cycle, and I don't know how to break it. If it is a faulty harddrive I guess I will try to replace it using the method outlined in other posts, but if I'm missing anything please let me know. Thank you.

That's the faulty drive/OS indicator.
If restoring the iPod from iTunes doesn't work, it's likely that the drive has died and needs to be replaced.
It's a fairly easy task with the proper tools.

I just bought my MacBook Pro 13" and I tried to install an anti virus but then it went into a grey folder with a question mark I need help with restoring the iOS please

I need help taking out the grey folder with the question mark and I've try everything except the CD thing because my MacBook didn't come with one so I really need help please

What anti-virus software did you install? Although there's a lot of bad anti-virus software out there, no anti-virus software should cause such a problem. A gray screen with a flashing question mark on a folder means that no bootable system could be found, which means that the system was badly damaged or corrupt. Even installing bad software would not normally cause that, so either there was something badly wrong with the system already or the anti-virus software you tried to install was really, really bad!
As mende1 says, you need to reinstall the system at this point. After your system is back up and running, read my Mac Malware Guide. If, after reading that, you want anti-virus software, use one of the programms recommended in that guide.

Need help with restoring from backup.

My wife's macbook pro ( 2.53 processor 4 GB Ram) recently had its hard drive call it quits.
I ran a back up the day prior to taking it to the Apple store, they replaced it with a 500 GB hard drive for very cheap. That I am very grateful for.
I came home, wife has already logged on/set up the laptop as a new laptop. Apple upgraded the OS while it was in their possession to 10.9.2. The last back up was on Mountain lion 10.8.
How can I get all the files (iPhoto being hugely important) from the 10.8 backup onto this 10.9 laptop? I can't restore from Time Machine because it isn't the correct OS nor is the same laptop (in its mind due to new hard drive and her setting up as a new laptop.)
I greatly appreciate the help in advanced, any links or "How to" threads would be wonderful!!!

Look at the options presented here:

Need help with union of two selects

select 1 selects items for a timespan.
But if there is nothing found at one date,
the date is not returned so I want a union with a calendar table
Both selects work but how to make the union?
Thanks for any help!
select 1:
SELECT COUNT(*) COUNT,
fb_operation prodstep,
kalenderwoche datum
FROM stoerung,
kalender
WHERE str_kommenzeit > to_date('13.06.2006', 'dd.mm.yyyy')
AND str_kommenzeit < to_date('11.07.2006', 'dd.mm.yyyy')
AND to_char(str_kommenzeit,'dd.mm.yyyy') = to_char(fulldate,'dd.mm.yyyy')
GROUP BY fb_operation,
kalenderwoche
ORDER BY fb_operation,
kalenderwoche
select 2:
SELECT kalenderwoche datum
from kalender
WHERE fulldate > to_date('13.06.2006', 'dd.mm.yyyy')
AND fulldate < to_date('11.07.2006', 'dd.mm.yyyy')

THANKS A LOT!
I tested it and it gave me good results
the problem I still have is that then I expand the Date to
to_date('11.12.2006') I just get the weeks
that contain data. But I need all weeks that are selected, if there is
no data the other fields shall be null or 0.
This is much too difficult for me perhaps you can also help me with this!
select * from
(SELECT COUNT(*) COUNT,
fb_operation prodstep,

I need help with restoring a previous Firefox session from the other day, that seems to not be opening back up.

I had many tabs opened in my Firefox browser and usually I can close the browser and reopen it, and the tabs are still there.
After restarting my computer, I went to Firefox and it started with a new session, without the option to restore the previous session.
I have a feeling that there is a way to restore these tabs, but in the case that it is not, then I'll just have to accept that.
I was thinking maybe a backup file of the tabs, like how the bookmarks can be backed up.
The tabs were important, so I just wanted to use this as the last resort to see if they can be restored in some way, shape or form.
This is the first time that I'm using this, so I'm hoping that someone can help me with this issue, as I'm sure that I am not the only one that has ever experienced this problem.

You can make a backup copy of the file sessionstore.js in the profile folder.

*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Open Containing Folder
You can also bookmark all open tabs via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

Need help with restore backup from icloud

Hi.
A few days ago I've deleted data and settings from my iPad and updated it to 8.1.2. Then, I wanted to restore backup from iCloud, but got error, that I can't restore my backup. Tried three last copies, other wifi, many solutions from support - the same error. Support said me, my backups are broken. And they can't help me.
OK. I've found some programs in internet for download backups and restore it. Only trials. And they work, they see my backups, download and show me my data. I need to buy program to restore data to my iPad. I don't want to buy, because, if that programs can restore my data, why Apple support can't do this?

Photos and videos from your camera roll are backed up to iCloud when you do an iCloud backup.
This article tells you how to restore an iCloud backup:

Need help with restore problem for itunes v 7.6.2

Minimize your iTunes, right click on your Desktop, click Properties, click the Settings tab. Increase your screen resolution to 1024 x 768. If it looks OK, click OK. You should be able to continue with your iPod.

If it's disabled then it's too late to take a backup. There are instructions on this page for resetting a disabled device : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212
If your computer's iTunes isn't recognising the phone then do you have the current version of iTunes installed on it ? There are also some troubleshooting on this page for a device not being recognised : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538 (if using a Mac : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1591)

I need help with my memberships (two)

I have two CC memeberships. I don't know how I got two. But it is ok if I can convert them to the special offer for a team (40% off). I spent so much time finding how to get help that I forgot the name of that type of account. Will someone plase inform me how to manage that transaction. I'll sign up for two years. Or if someone can make it ahppen and then inform me when it's done, I'd appreciate it.

OK I got through the registration for two. It wants me to sign up for $139.98/mo. That Isn’t 40% off. I’d push the confirm button but not for $ 139.98/mo. Next, It is almost impossible to find SUPPORT. I sign in to CC and there is nowhere on any page that I got to where it indicates support. Is there any way to speak to a human? I’m 80. Don’t buy green bananas. This sucks. I want to sign up for two years and there was no place in the sign up page that allows it! Please give clear instructions/URL’s whatever that will guide me, step by step, all the way through to where I have to go. Some week that I have clear I’ll try to find my way through the maze.

I need help with restoration of two very old photos.
