Not sure I understand how Migration Assistant is doing anything. I thought MA was for connecting your computer to another computer or volume and transferring files. I'm just not sure how you're using it. Like I said earlier, everything you do on your Mac overwrites more of what data may have been recoverable if there even was any. Not to kick you when you're down but this is exactly he kind of a situation where a time machine or other back up would have saved you a lot of heartache. I'm sorry but I don't think I can be of any help :-(

    Problem, I reseted my iPhone 4S and now I don't know how to get back files. I bought WhatsApp and some other games with money. Can I get them back? I have iCloud account.

    Not sure what it is you are asking, but you can redownload apps from the purchased section of the app store.

  • I deleted the HP Smart Web Printing (but kept the link) and now I don't know how to get it back.

    I had 23 Microsoft updates and 12 did not update. I am 73 and not very computer literate. I finally (accidentally) discovered that, at least part of the problem, was that I must have installed Explorer 9. It told me to update to a new driver/software. I was trying to do it step-by-step and that's when I deleted the Smart Web Printing. On the second step of trying to fix it, it would not update because it says it doesn't support 64 bit (which I have). It only supposed 32 bit. HELP. I can't figure out how to get my smart web printing back. Also, I don't know how to get my system back to a lower Explorer since I apparently have 9.
    This question was solved.

    Hello BarbG,
    HP no longer offers the Smart Web Print software available for download since the change to Smart Print. Rather than trying to get around this maybe we can look at at least resolving the issues you are having.
    For one the Smart Print software can be found here
    HP Smart Web Printing Software Replaced by HP Smart Print
    Available on the link are step by step instructions on installation and setup of Smart Print, including videos on how to use Smart Print so you can become accustomed to using it.
    Now before we get into that what you will want to do is verify that you are truely running IE9 64 bit versus the 32 bit. HP Smart Print only supports 32 bit so we want to make sure we are using that.
    To check the version of IE you are running follow these steps.
    1. Launch Internet Explorer
    2. Click on Help
    3. Select About Internet Explorer
    4. If the version of Internet Explorer has 64 bit next to it then you are running the 64 bit version. If it doesn't say then you are running the 32 bit version and are good!
    If you are running the 64 bit version we next need to see if you already have the 32 bit version on your computer. 
    1.Click on Start
    2. Select All programs
    3. Look for Internet Explorer (64-bit)
    Just below that entry should be another entry called "Internet Explorer" This version of Internet Explorer should be the 32 bit version and you can verify this by repeating the before mentioned steps.
    Once you verify that you are running the 32 bit version of IE then you can proceed with installing the Smart Print software.
    Also note a few other additional places to check and run IE 32 bit are below:
    Go to start->all program->accessories, IE 32 bit version should be located here
    You can also find the IE 32 bit version in this path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Internet Explorer\iexplore.exe."

  • PLEASE HELP!!! I clicked on the wrong folder to start up in and now I don't know how I can start in Mac OSx 10.4 anymore.

    I have already pressed and held down the options key during start up but I can only select the HD drive (which is what I want) but I can't specify which folder to start up in (I accidently pressed 9 before instead of 10.4) and now I can't revert back to 10.4.  Whenever I start it now, it is just a grey screen with a floppy disk image in the middle with a blinking question mark.

    Will it start up in Safe Mode?

    If it will, then try starting up in OS X by holding down the x key during startup.
    Which exact iBook model is it?

  • I deleted my mac app store and now I don't know how to get it back? What do I do?

    Hello,
    I recently tried to download a game from the app store and upon completion of the download I got an error regarding something to do with a "hash". Anyhow upon further researching on how to fix it, I found a solution which told me to download and install an app called "AppCleaner" and use it to clean/delete the app store.
    Well, as a new mac owner I clearly didn't realize the consequences. While I did that and left the download for the night while I slept, I woke up to find that I had the game but I had lost the app store. I couldn't open it as I got a message saying something along the lines of "you can't open the app store because it's in the trash bin. Please move it from the trash bin" (paraphrasing). I checked my trash bin, and yes it appeared there, however the thumbnail for the app store had changed from the regular one to a picture of a piece of paper and pencil. Moving it to my desktop proved useless as it still didn't work. When I would run it from desktop, it would show up on the task bar at the bottom for about a second then leave.
    I've already tried using the software update found in the menu from the apple in the top left as well as verifying disk permissions in the disk utility. I've also downloaded OS X Lion Update 10.7.3 Client Combo found here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1484 to no avail. For your reference I'm using a 13" macbook pro bought brand new 4 days ago running OS X Lion 10.7.3. If there's anything I'm missing it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you in advance!
