Is there a restore point?

I bought about 5 songs on iTunes. I tried to put them on my iPod, but it said something like "This can only hold songs from 5 accounts"
I wasn't completely sure what this meant. So, I tried making my iPod so that it would automatically sinc the sings.
I didn't realize this would wipe out my whole iPod and make everything the same as my library (I thought it just added new songs)
So, now, my whole iPod is wiped out, and it doesn't have any songs that I had before.
I know you can restore the iPod to factory settings, but can you restore it to a certain point? Is this possible?
Thanks.

First off, Powerbooks won't run 10.9.1. If it says MacBook something on your screen or on the bottom of the machine below the keyboard, it is that MacBook something. It is not a Powerbook. No Mac has been called Powerbook since 2005.
Mac OS X 10.9.1 has a restore function, but it isn't perfect. You are better off having backed up your data before doing any software install. You may not get everything running on 10.9.0 that you did on 10.9.1, and certainly not everything on 10.8.5 or earlier the same as 10.9. While you can downgrade, it does necessitate these steps:

Some applications if they were installed after a specially uninstaller program such as AppZapper, will remove themselves entirely, but as I say it has to be after that is installed for it to work.

Iphone4 would not restore Error -50. I have tried to restore and it restored it to the point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out.

Iphone would not restore---- Error -50. I have tried to restore, and it restored it to the new point that it created after 5.0 was installed. How can I get it an older restore point from my backups and restore it on another computer? The phone has been wiped out. I can see earlier backups in my C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup folder. There are four subfolders in this address. I need my contacts, photos, and messages back. I know this is a common error but I can not figure it out. I have ran the other troublshoot items in the error steps for 13 and 14 like apple says. Is there a way to call apple and get a step by step of how to restore from another restore point? Does anybody have a solution????

It tells you to go to Error 13 and 14 if you receive error (-50).
Here is what I have tried...
Error 13 and 14: These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting. I have moved it around to different ports.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer. Didn't change anything.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts. Removed all virus protection and firewall.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.Used the Microsoft fix it.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online. Doesn't matter.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network. I do not know how to do this or how to find the correct/full/complete restore point. There should be more information for this.

How do I reset Mountain Lion to an earlier state? I'm looking for a PC-style restore point.

I upgraded my MacBook Pro to Mountain Lion about a week ago. Soon after, I noticed a problem with Zinio Reader (I could not view my magazines any longer). I found instructions on Zinio's Web site to remove the reader and Adobe Air, then re-download and install the reader. Things seemed to go smoothly for a short while, but then my MacBook slowed to a crawl. It takes about five minutes just to log into my machine. I'm getting a lot of the beach ball action. Every action—even resizing a window—has become an agonizing chore. So now I'm looking for a way to set my machine back to an earlier state—something like Windows restore points.

To answer your Carbonite vs Time Machine (you should probably ask this in a new thread .)
I prefer Time Machine because it backs my system preferences, user account (if you have more than one), apps, and files. It's also fast to restore. 4 hours max from reinstall of my osx (from Leopard to Lion) to Time Machine Restore.
Carbonite just back up your files.
I tried the free version of Carbonite once (5 gigs of storage), and didn't like it.
I also know people have a hard time restoring from Carbonite because it is so slow. You should probably test that out sometimes.
One last problem I have with Carbonite is that if you delete a file on your mac, it will be deteled on the Carbonite within 7 day (something like that). With Time Machine, as long as the drive is big enough, the file will be there (until the drive is full, than the oldest Time Machine backup will be deleted).
The advantage of Carbonite is that the files are not in your house.

Windows Backup fails to complete and System shows 29 Restore Points all titled "System Image restore point" but none will work.

Problems both seemed to appear about the same time and may be related.
Had backups on an external drive prior to the problem and appeared to be working. I have since cleaned the external drive in an attempt to start a new backup series but it continues to stop and report backup has failed.
The System restore was working fine and one day it had changed all the existing Restore Points to "System Image restore point"
but still showed all the different dates. In the System Properties window it indicates that there are 0 bytes in "current usages",
which I assume they are all empty but I can't create any new ones. I get Error code 0x80042308.
I have tried the Clean Boot with no results. I use MS Security Essentials for virus protection.
I have no other symptoms or problems on the PC.
About ready for a Recovery and start all over.

Hi,
Your first step should be to run chkdsk /r /f on all the drives in that computer. Shadow copy errors are often caused by disk problems (usually minor) which chkdsk will find and correct.
Also, this issue can be caused that VSS dlls are corrupted.
Re-install the VSS dlls by following these steps:
a. Using command prompt, CD to the WINDOWS\system32 directory
b. Stop the Volume Shadow Copy service by executing the command "net stop vss"
c. Register the following DLLs and services by executing these commands:
regsvr32 ole32.dll
regsvr32 vss_ps.dll
Vssvc /Register
regsvr32 /i swprv.dll
regsvr32 /i eventcls.dll
regsvr32 es.dll
regsvr32 stdprov.dll
regsvr32 vssui.dll
regsvr32 msxml.dll
regsvr32 msxml3.dll
regsvr32 msxml4.dll
Hope these could be helpful.

Restore Points Deleted w/dual boot & Windows 7

Dual booting with two partitions
on another disk with Windows 7 / Windows 10
and when I returned to Windows 8.1 or
Windows 10 from Windows 7,
restore points are deleted and remain
in Windows 7?
Is there a solution?
Thanks
Hello

Thanks for the reply,
If it's the disks to hide concerned,
I have already done but to no avail ([HKEY_CURRENT_USER \ Software
\ Microsoft \ Windows \ CurrentVersion
\ Policies \ Explorer]).
I know that we could put offline the
affected partitions ([HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
\ SYSTEM \ MountedDevices \ Offline]), but
later by disk failure in the event log
... is that what you propose?
hello
Yes and No.
What do you mean by " but later by disk failure in the event log " ?
Have a look at this tutorial :
http://www.geekstogo.com/forum/topic/326541-windows-8-dual-boot-restore-points/
I am dual booting Win 7 and Win 10 TP Enterprise build 9879. That tutorial works for me.
P.S. ( Ignore the triple boot part.)

HT201269 I just traded my old phone for a new phone and I am trying to set it up. I am attempting to back up my phone from the latest restore point and it will not allow me to do so.

I am unable to get the information from I cloud to my new device from the latest restore point.

If your old iPhone was more up-to-date it won't restore a newer version's backup.
Set up as a new device (Skip Apple ID Sign-in to save time) and update iOS, then do Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content & Settings to restart the iOS Setup Assistant and restore your iCloud Backup.
If it still won't work, contact AppleCare as there may be a problem with the iCloud Backup. They never charge for troubleshooting iCloud issues.

Create guaranteed restore point in oracle 10g RAC ASM

Hi DBAs,
In our production environment we have 2 node master RAC database (Oracle 10.2.0.5) (node1 name=master1 and node2 name=master2)
for which there is going to be a release tonight so want to create a guaranteed restore point for this RAC database.
I have googled many and found some ways, but before I implement it wanted a reviews from experts here.
Note: We already have db_recovery_file_dest set up in ASM...db_flashback_retention_target=1440 and db_recovery_file_dest_size=200GB with arch mode ON.
The steps are
STOP the RAC Database on Both Nodes...
Node1:
$srvctl stop database -d
$Srvctl stop database –d master1
Node2:
$srvctl stop database -d
$Srvctl stop database –d master2
And now start one instance only in mount state:
On node1:
SQL> startup mount
Now enable flashback on Node1...
SQL> alter database flashback on;
SQL> alter database open;
SQL>CREATE RESTORE POINT before_upgrade GUARANTEE FLASHBACK DATABASE;
Now start the second instance…
$srvctl start instance -d -i
$srvctl start instance –d master1 –d master2
Please let me know if there is something needs to be rectified.
Regards,
Ritz

The steps look fine.
Presumably you've already checked to see if the database is in flashback mode and it isn't...hence you putting it into flashbac mode?
Probably just typos but it looks like you have interchanged database names and instance names in your commands....you have the following commands. The srvctl commnds can be run from any node (ie you do not have to run it on node1 to shutdown instance1 and node2 to shutdown instance2).
Node1:    srvctl stop database –d master1
Node2:    srvctl stop database –d master2
You would run either:
Any node:    srvctl stop database -d master (assuming you database name is master...this will shut down both instances)
OR shutdown each instance individually
Any node:    srvctl stop instance -d master -i master1
Any node:    srvctl stop instance -d master -i master2
Same commnds as above to start using "srvctl start"...the following start commands do not look right to me:
srvctl start instance -d -i
srvctl start instance –d master1 –d master2

Reset to previous RESTORE POINT only possible with FLASHBACK ?

Ok, I can create a Restore Point (in v10g) by a command like:
CREATE RESTORE POINT foobar;
Actually I expected a symmetric command which reverts the whole database back
with a command like
RESET to RESTORE POINT foobar;
However I did not found such a (or similar) command.
Instead the only way I found was by a FLASHBACK command:
FLASHBACK DATABASE TO RESTORE POINT foobar;
Is this correct? Is there no other command for reverting back to a previous RESTORE POINT?
Peter

HI
Well there is no such command "RESET to RESTORE POINT foobar".....its... "Flashback database to restore point"
now question is that why we use flashback database to restore point? for example we want to run some application on our database but we are not sure that it might create some unwanted changes in our database ...so we mount our database and enable flashback then we create restore point let say "create restore point beforeupgrade"....and then we run our application now if we find some unwanted changes in our database we will flashback database to created restore point.
here is the link to understand more......

How much space left for the new System Restore Point(s) creation ??

Sir,
MY LAPTOP : single OS, windows 7 sp1 , ultimate 64 , 2gb ram , 4ghz processor,
kaspersky antivirus full,
total hard disk 150gb, C: 38.9gb, 11.2 gb free space on C: ,
allocation for SR Points for C: 2.73gb (7%)
PROBLEM:(SR Point: System Restore Point)
sir, i am facing a problem of false reporting of the space occupied by a SR Point and so, it is unable to know how much space is left for new SR Points such that the old ones dont get eliminated. Here it is always increasing as the time progresses
    1. I created a SR Point at 9:21PM space occupied being shown 114.97mb
   2. The same SR point showing the space occupied at 9:23pm 115.06mb
   3. After 20 hours it is being shown as 272.36mb !
   4. After sometime ,it would show the space (occupied) even more than the actual allocation for eg.
the full allocation is 2.73gb and it will show 3.1gb occupied by the same single SR Point
      [for solution of the problem i am managing the single SR Point that is by not doing anything that will     trigger the creation of new SR Point(s) ]
SNAP 1 : plz see only one SR Point is there on c:(the other one is system image back up on another drive)
SNAP 2 : Plz see that the space occupied by the same single SR Point is 276.50 mb which was 114.97 mb initially.SORRY , ONLY TWO IMAGES ALLOWED!
HISTORY : since last 6 months the laptop is with me and when I received it, system protection was off. When I made it active , it used to create SR points very frequently for e.g. 10 points in 2 days. So I stopped its automatic creation
2 months back. I disabled both the triggers and the task.
SNAP 3 : both the triggers and task disabled.
NOW
   (.) it makes restore points either manually (by me) or by system in the case of install or updates only,
And I am comfortable with it !
   (.) SR Point restore is full success !
   (.) but the PROBLEM is there !
So,
Is something wrong going to happen to the hard disk ?
Is it a malicious activity ?
Does a full defragmentation for a drive deletes all the restore points on the drive ? (it happens here!)
How should I proceed ?

Creating System Restore Points in Windows Server 2012

Searching for "Create a restore point" on Windows Server 2012, brings up a link that when clicked takes you to System Properties. Once there, there is no System Protection tab or option to create a system restore point. Windows Server Backup
is installed and functioning.
Is this feature available in Windows Server 2012? Was it replaced with Shadow Copies for Shared Folders?
Thanks for any insight you can provide.

HI,
To create a system restore point, run msconfig.exe, that will launch a UI, click the tools tab, select system restore, that should invoke a UI which asks if you want to restore to an earlier version or do you want to create a new restore point. I clicked
"create a new restore point" The problem that I ran into is that when I click that button is I receive the error: can't find "C:\Windows\System32\rstrui.exe". That's the .exe which supports the "Create / restore point' processes. I
posted a question about the missing .exe on the windows > windows 8.1 > Repair and recovery forum and was told to post it here. :>) The subject title of that post is "rstrui.exe Create a system restore point on windows server 8 Standard".
That post documents the steps that I followed trying to create a system restore point. (FYI: I'm not trying to backup any drives. I know what a system restore point is and what backup is. They are two different animals). I want to create a restore
point prior in order to prep for installing an App. So, If a problem occurs; the registry keys and app files can be backed out to some extent. BTW: Create system restore point on windows 8.1does work perfectly well, there's a different UI. I just didn't
know where to post the initial problem.regards,Steve

After a malware attack last week that rewrote my registers I had to restart from a restore point. The problem is now when firefox wants to update, it want to use the site that contains malware. I need to reset it to the proper site how do I do this?

My son was using the cpu at the time of the first attack. He got it cleared out and working. A day later it hit again when I was using the computer. As soon as I saw the fake virus scan I brought up taskmaster and stopped it. Almost immediately it started running again so I stopped it a second time. When I did, it shut down windows explorer. The only thing that would run was the malware. I brought it up at a restore point and it ran normally. This cycle has been repeated several times.
Both Avast and SpybotSD will find and delete the malware, and both of these update normally. I think that when firefox updates itself, it is requesting data from a malware site rater than from you. How do I reset this?

Try this:
#Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''Advanced '''and click the '''Network '''tab.
#In the Offline Storage menu, click the '''Clear Now''' button.
#In the location bar, type '''about:config '''and hit Enter.
#In the filter at the top, type: '''keyword.URL'''
#Double click it and remove whatever's in there. You'll see it revert to "Default" and "String".
#Go to File | Exit
#Restart Firefox and go to the page you want to set as your homepage
#Go to '''Tools '''| '''Options '''| '''General'''.
#Make sure it says "''Show My Homepage''" in the first dropdown menu.
#Click the button called "'''Use Current Pages'''" to set the homepage to the one you have on the screen.

Using restore points WITHOUT flashback possible (in Oracle Express versio)?

For development I am using Oracle Express 10g version rather than Enterprise version.
Unfortunately the "Flashback" feature is NOT available in Express version (only in Enterprise).
I can CREATE a RESTORE POINT but I can NOT go back to it with a Flashback instruction like
FLASHBACK DATABASE TO RESTORE POINT myrp234;
Is there a workaround for this in Oracle Express?
Being able to CREATE a RESTORE POINT is useless if I cannot go back to this RP.
So I guess there must be another way?

Cannot create a system restore point [service cannot be started in Safe Mode (0x8007043c)]"

Is there a solution to years old error message "Cannot create a system restore point [service cannot be started in Safe Mode (0x8007043c)]" I have been trying to create a restore point or image on an external hard drice, but I get the quoted message
and the system is NOT in safe mode. I have reviewed all the previous suggestions on this forum to no avail. Are there any new suggestions. My computer had Windows 7 installed and I have no source to re-load the OS. Ralph

Hi,
So actually you're not in safe mode (not black background, no "safe mode" on the left-bottom of the screen), right?
I think something is causing your PC thinking itself is in the safe mode, run sfc/scannow and chkdsk /f/r, check if the two tools can find any error.
Or perform a startup repair in recovery console, check the result

MSE Creates A Restore Point Every Time It Updates

MSE creates a redundant restore point every time it updates.
Is there any way to stop this from happening without
disabling the system from creating restore points entirely?
Thanks.

Thanks.
The HD is 500GB. I think by default 2% or 10GB is reserved for restore points. Once the limit is reached the restore points are overwritten - last in, first out. I have a preferred restore point established that I'd like to be preserved.
My concern is the way in which Windows Update is used to update MSE definitions. Everytime (daily) MSE AV definitions are D/L it creates another restore point. Eventually it will overwrite the restore point I established. I guess I can always remove the restore points MSE creates using CCleaner or use a different AV program but it's something that should have been addressed by MS. They should have provided users with the option of not having MSE create restore points. I know I can always turn the feature off altogether and create restore points manually but there are times when having a restore point created automatically can come in handy - like when installing a program for example.
Aside from this issue I've also noticed other little annoyances throughout the Windows 7 / 64bit - Home Premium OS.
I'm sure I'll discover more annoyances with this OS over time.

Is there a restore point?
