I restored my computer to a time before an Itune update-need to keep songs
I restored my computer to a time befoe the last update to ITunes. Now I am unable to open ITunes at all. I am being asked to reinstall I-tunes when I click on the application, but I do not want to lose all my songs. I have all my songs on the i-pod. How can I restore the program without losing my songs?
Dear Katrina:
Greetings!
I backed up my files as you suggested. I tried to reinstall I-tunes from the disc, and it looked as if everything was installing correctly. I tried reinstalling it by putting in the disk and waiting for the prompts. I also tried through the control panel "add programs." I think the add program approach even asked me if I wanted old files to be deleted. I said yes with confidence since I have a back up. Nothing worked. When I click on I-tunes, I receive the message: "I-tunes cannot run because some of its required components is missing. Please reinstall I-tunes."
It seems that I am not even able to delete the program. Maybe I can manually delete the folders through "explore?" What do you think I should try next? At least, all my music is backed up, and other than not being able to operate I-tunes from my computer, the computer seems to be operating normal.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Christopher

I work with a Mac & I had to restore my computer for my time machine back-up. When I attempt to open/edit a photo with either camera raw or photoshop I get the following error message: Error 150:30 , it also sys that licensing for the product has stopped working?
Unfortunately when Adobe products are restored from backup, especial CS4 and especially Mac, it breaks licensing.
There is a python script included in the license recovery kit that should work if you are familiar with Terminal.
If not, you must reinstall your CS4 suite. You don't need to delete your preferences, so it should be the same as before.

I have tried several times to install iTunes update 11.1.4 on my PC. I get a message saying that install was not successful and an error message of MSVCR80.dll not present, Error 7, (Windows error 126). I am told to reinstall iTunes, but nothing changes. What next? I've not had this problem with other updates requested by Apple.
I have also had the same problem with my Win 7 32 bit computer. I had great help from Apple techs in Montreal and Orlando for 2.5 hours. They helped me remove every trace of Apple products and clean the registry in two different ways. Each install gave the same problem! If Apple techs can't fix it (on some of our machines) then we are really in trouble. They promised to raise it with the "engineers" and get back to me with a solution. I am waiting and hoping. Otherwise maybe version 11.1.5 will have a fix ??

First-time upgrading, what do I need to keep?
Hey all:
I bought FCS1 when it first came out, and just bought the upgrade to FCS2 for it. When I installed the upgrade version, it asked for the Serial number, I put in the one that came with the FCS2 upgrade disks. Everything installed wonderfully and still works. Cool.
Thing is, I'll be buying a new computer eventually - a Mac Pro in January. I'm curious as to what I need to keep for installing FCS2 on the new computer (I'll be formatting and selling the old one). As I understand it, the FCS2 upgrade disks have the full versions of the software on them, and when I put them in to install, the serial number I should enter is from my FCS1 set. Is this true? Things that give me pause:
1) When I did the upgrade, I used the new Serial numbers that came with the upgrade disks;
2) My FCS1 disks aren't Universal.
Is the upgrade serial number only used if I have FCS1 already installed on a computer and I then try to upgrade? If so, then, upon getting my new computer in January, I'll never have to use that number again. Also: what do I do with my old disks? Can they be tossed?
Thanks in advance for any help, and sorry if anything is unclear.
MichaelI have a general rule that I never toss software discs. Especially when I paid over a grand for them.
Are they really taking up that much room, that you need to get rid of them?
Keep them. Keep your paperwork, too. -
Problem started after loading last itunes update. Uninstalled itunes from my HP but still getting error message when I start up the computer. Is there a new update on itunes?
Uninstall your existing copy of iTunes. Delete any copies of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64Setup.exe) installer files from your downloads areas for your web browsers and download a fresh copy of the iTunes installer from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
(The current build of the 11.1.4.62 installer was changed a few days ago, which fixed the bulk of the reports of MSVCR80.dll/R6034/APSDaemon.exe/Error-7/AMDS-could-not-start trouble ... but the build number on the installer was not changed. So we're trying to make sure you do the reinstall using a "new good" 11.1.4.62 installer instead of an "old bad".)
Does the install with the new copy of the installer go through properly? If so, does that clear up the error message?
If you still have the same error messages cropping up, then try the procedures from the following user tip:

My computer freezes three times before it is able to start
Hello everybody!
I’m experiencing a kind of strange problem since about four weeks:
When I try to turn-on my computer, it wouldn’t start at the first because it freezes (and the fan start to run at full speed), so I have to turn it off the hard way (power button). But if
I go on trying, the computer eventually starts (after three or four attempts), and then it is able to run for hours without any problem.
Those initial freezes usually occurs some minutes after I start the machine, either with or without firefox running… sometimes it freezes before the windows login screen…
The fact that the computer is eventually able to start and run without problem for hours, makes me think that this is not a hardware-related problem…
I have tried to use Process Monitor in order to generate activity logs, but those log files (pml) seem to be corrupted after each freeze…
a-) Is any of you familiar with this kind of problem?
b-) Do you know a way I would be able to identify the software responsible for this problem?
I would really appreciate any help at this respect,
Thank you very much,
P.Cordoba

In order to diagnose your problem you will need to download and install the below
Install the WPT (windows Performance Toolkit)
http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30652
Help with installation (if needed) is here
When you have, open an elevated command prompt and type the following
WPRUI.exe (which is the windows performance recorder) and check off the boxes for the following:
First level triage, CPU usage, Disk IO.
If your problem is not CPU or HD then check off the relevant box/s as well (for example networking or registry) Please configure yours as per the below snip
Click Start
Let it run for 60 secs or more and save the file (it will show you where it is being saved and what the file is called)
Zip the file and upload to us on Onedrive (or any file sharing service) and give us a link to it in your next post.

Restoring entire computer to prior Time using time
I have found lots of info on how to recover a specific file from the past, but what if i just want to revert my whole mbp to its state from yesterday 3pm? For example, if i hated what a software update did and i just want to go back in time ?
Butterflie14,
The term "delta" doesn't really apply to Time Machine backups. Each backup is a complete "snapshot" of the entire installation. In order to do this without copying over huge amounts of data, Time Machine uses "multi-linked" files in the various backups, all pointing to the same data. That is, with the exception of any new/changed files; these represent the only real data that is transferred during each backup. Only in this sense does "delta" apply.
Restoring from a backup, at least in the context of "going back to a previous state," is an all-or-nothing proposition. That doesn't mean it has to take a long time. First, the process of erasing a drive takes mere seconds. Second, a Time Machine "Restore" doesn't include a new installation of OS X from the installer disk (which would take a long time), but rather a restoration of the entire system from the backup. As such, it is dependent entirely on the speed of the drive and connecting bus (FW 400, 800, USB, etc.). In the case of my FW 800 drive, a complete "Restore" of a 50 GB system took about 30 minutes.
I agree, to take this step seems like a waste just to recover from some "pernicious" action of a particular application. If you were a bit more specific about what application we're talking about, and just what it did, perhaps I could offer better advice. You can restore anything that has been backed up by Time Machine, but may have been deleted from your internal disk in the meantime, but you cannot really "un-modify" OS X, if that is what has happened. To do so, you must perform a complete "Restore."

It is stuck on the connect to iTunes screen. Itunes won't see it or my computer when I try to connect!!!!! I am freaking out. I got my old iPhone. Plugged into iTunes and it did the same thing! I Deleted iTunes. Then downloaded apple, but it won't recognize my phones as plugged in! HELP!!!
If you're in recovery mode, all data is ALREADY lost. You've no choice but to restore.

Why nothing has changed let me buy this tune with the same ID and password that I have used to purchase other tracks with no problems,
We are fellow users here on these forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support. The questions should only be asked on the first purchase on a new computer or device, but other people have also posted recently about them being asked when it isn't. If you are being asked them then you will need to answer them before you can purchase.
If you can't remember their answers and you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then go to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address (you won't be able to add one until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you won't get the reset option - you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset.
e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
When they've been reset (and if you don't already have a rescue email address) you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add a rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or if it's available in your country you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570 -

How do I revert OS X back to a time before the last update on 28th June?
Hi.
Last Tuesday, 28th June, I authorised Mac Update to update two things. One was something to do with my Epson printer, and the other was some sort of security update for Mac OS X itself. The update, presumably the latter part, invoked a requirement to restart my Mac.
Since then things have not been good.
I have noticed that the fans in my MacBook Pro are on more or less continuously, even when it is asleep. Prior to last Tuesday they hardly ever ran, even when I was using it. (According to iStat my CPU is currently 76 degrees C, and both fans are running at about 6000 rpm.)
When I try to quit Safari it doesn't quit straight away as it used to. Instead I get the spinning ball for a while and then, after it quits I get a 'Safari quit unexpectedly' report, even though it was I who initiated the quitting...
Several apps have been acting oddly too, such as MS Word taking ages to launch.
So I want to revert my MacBook Pro to how it was prior to this last update. I have Time Machine enabled, but I can't work out how to get the actual OS back to a state it was on a date prior to 28th June. The OS isn't in the Apps folder, and I can't work out where it might be.
Can someone please point me in the right direction, or is this something that Time Machine cannot do?Your slow down issues sound like it's internet related.
