My macbook started up as it was a month ago ??/!!!

Today I started up my computer and somehow it started up like it was a month ago.... meaning the way my desktop looks, I'm missing pictures since of that time, my email had to be rebuild again.... I'm missing documents. I just don't understand how this could happen?
I know it was possible under Windows to reset to another time, is there a way in Mac too. I hope so... as now I lost some precious pictures (I did make a back up folder but ofcourse that is gone too).
thanks

OMG that DID work !!! thanks so much....
Unfortunately it leads to a new problem. I do have some pictures back, some of them now are not recognizable anymore, but at least it is better than nothing:)
each time I open my iphoto it doesn't show any of my pictures I then import from my back up... and it gets stuck I quit they, open they are there minues the ones it couldn't do, I restart my computer and the pictures are not in my library also each time I have to do mail account as well too.. what's going on ?

    Hi. I have the Apple connector kit...and actually played Garageband via my M-Audio Oxygen 25-keyboard thru  my iPad2--without a powered hub. 
    But that was two month ago.
      Now...I can't get it to play--with volume.   I can hear the notes...but faintly.  And I have pushed ALL possible volume controls up (Keyboard & iPad). 
      I know the keyboard is triggering, because I tested it on a MacBook: got full volume, just like before.
      But just can't get full volume from the iPad2.  I got a 4-port USB hub...and tried interfacing it between the keyboard and the connector kit/iPad2.  But still no volume.  It's almost like a switch is off in the iPad???
      Any help would be appreciated.  Dan

    hello again,
    i didn't really dare to delete the blue home folders before, just in case everything went wrong, but now i think i have so little space that i can't afford to lose 2.25gb!
    one thing that slightly worries me is the fact that the 'proper' library folder (in the home icon) is 2.09gb, whereas the 'wrong' one (from the blue folder forenamesurname) is 2.24gb - this is the one i would be deleting. just seems odd to delete a larger file than the one i presume i'm using.
    "Move everything you want to keep out of the blue folders, and then place both of the folders on your desktop. If everything works properly after a few days, delete both folders. If you are asked for your administrator password at any point or if either folder is copied instead of moved when dragged, don't delete that folder."
    by 'everything you want to keep', does this include the library folder? 'cause there doesn't seem to be much else, and i'm not sure if deleting the library folder would ruin all my preferences.
    i've put both of the folders on the desktop, it didn't ask for the admin password or try to copy them, so i guess that's good news. what kind of things should i be looking out for to act differently?
    are the folders not in use now that they are on the desktop?
    also if i put them in the trash will they have no effect? i.e. the same as permanently deleting them, so i could put them in the trash as a test.
    cheers, stephen.

  • When are the faster i7 quad core (2.7ghz) chips going to ship in the MacBook Pros, Intel announced them over a month ago.  Trying to make a buying decision.

    We can't speculate, when it appears it will appear.
    Are these mobile processors? Because that will answer your question right there.

    This issue can be caused by a corrupt local snapshot index. The procedure below will temporarily disable local snapshots and force the index to be rebuilt.
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ If you’re running OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the page that opens.
    Drag or copy — do not type — the following line into the Terminal window, then press return:
    sudo tmutil disablelocal
    You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning not to screw up. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command.
    To re-enable:
    sudo tmutil enablelocal

  • I just replaced my macbook's batter and charger about a month ago, but it hasn't been charging for about 2 days now? Could someone help identify the problem and/or provide a solution.

  • My macbook 2008 screen went black a few months ago. I've been using it with a monitor. Today it's working. I have a feeling it's going to die at any time. Is it possible that a software patch fixed this ? Is there a utility I can run to test the screen ?

    Model : Macbook 2008
    Symptoms: The screen was, intermittently, going black last year and then went black completely. I have been using it on a monitor ever since.
    I can see the screen with a flashlight.
    I completely erased the drive and loaded OSx 10.7. I believe that's the last version of OSx Mac will be supporting on this computer.
    When I booted up the computer this morning the screen came on !
    While typing this question, my screen went black again, not to return.
    So sad.
    I did bring it to Apple and they believed the entire screen needed to be replaced.
    They say that they tried a new inverter and it didn't work.
    I have a feeling I'm just out of luck unless I want to cough up the $300 to fix the screen.
    Although it is a solid machine, 2Ghz processor with 4 gigs of ram, it is still six years old.
    I imagine that's like putting a new transmission in a 95 Honda civic. Yeah, it's a reliable car but it's old and it's probably going to break again.
    I love my mac so much but I can't justify buying a new one or  paying to fix this old one.
    I have a Gateway dual booting Windows 7 and ubuntu linux that's actually pretty slick and has taken it's place on business trips and coffee shop excursions.
    If anyone has any thoughts or feedback I'd appreciate it.

    The current Apple hardware warranty provides the following coverage for replacement parts:

  • Music on iPhone4 4 automatically shuffles music and shuffle is not turned on in anyway. Anyone know how to fix this or is anyone having the same problem? This didn't start until the big update a month ago!!

    Anyone know how to fix this or is anyone having the same problem? This didn't start until the big update (5.0) a month ago!!
    When playing music there is no shuffle button like there was before... On the playlist there is a shuffle bar but this does nothing when I touch it. It's either stuck on my music is messed up.
    Any ideas??

    Start playing a song.
    Select the album artwork area for the song playing to reveal the scrubber for the song.
    Is the color of the icon located at the right of the scrubber blue?
    If so, that is the shuffle icon and blue means shuffle is on. Select the icon to turn shuffle off. White means off.

  • I have two iphones and the two got sync'd contacts were deleted from 1 phone and now were deleted from other via wireless on icloud the last back up was 2 months ago how do i retrieve and reinstall that backup? or can I do this from an old icloud back up

    Hi this is my first time using this service and I am having a huge problem with two of my iphones. I have two phones that were sync'd accidently on itunes and both were sync'd to icloud too apparently. The one phone then deleted some of the contacts - now both phones have lost those contacts. What would be the steps to get the phone contacts (not from the computer) back on one of the iphones. it does show the phone was backed up over two months ago - can I restore to that back up and how? Any help would be very appreciated <")))><

    Please read before going through with this procedure.
    If you really want your contact back and you did not do another iCloud backap since you deleted some of your contacts, you can do a hard reboot on both devices with iClouded contacts by holding down the home and lock buttons on each of them for 10 seconds ignoring the slide to turn off thing. Make sure you have iCloud contact services off before doing so. You can then go through the whole set up process until you get up to the backup part. You then press to restore from an iCloud backup (make sure you choose the right backup for the right phone). If you didn't make an iCloud backup before the contact incident, you will have to use your two-month-old iTunes backups. Each phone should have their contacts the way they were from your last backup. You then go into Settings>iCloud>and turn off contacts. You then can choose if you want to keep your current contacts or not. Turn this off on both phones just incase you add another iCloud device to the mix later on. Now your contact lists are no longer linked (Caution: side effect may include lack of edit button). You may now add and delete contacts as you please without it happening on your other phone.
    Thank you for choosing Apple.

  • I restored my phone but it restored to the only back up i had which was 2 months ago. Now none of the settings i have are up to date on what i had. How do i get all the text messages from that backup up to today?

    I tried to update my phone, but it died so i had to restore it. The only back up i had was from 2 months ago. How do i get all the settings back from that huge gap of me not syncing it?

  • Why did my macbook start installing while I was shutting down?

    I was trying to shut my macbook down and it began to do so, but suddenly you could see a transparent window show up that had an install bar initiate. My macbook then installed an unknown update that I did not initiate. I was not in update software at all before I shut down. I closed my Microsoft Word application and then I shut it down. I checked the Console and there was activity during this time that I don't understand, but can post info on if someone knows how to decipher it.
    I am concerned that my macbook installed some type of malicious software by itself.
    I am always cautious to what emails I open etc, so I don't know why it did that.

    Hold the power button and the system will eventually shutdown (uncleanly). My MacBook freezes from time to time while watching Netflix (4 times in 2 years). I wouldn't worry about unless it's happening all the time.

  • My iPad 2 touch screen will not work. The screen is currently locked. The sliders work, but the number pad doesn't! My screen was shattered months ago, and worked fine until recently. I need to delete confidential info before replacing the glass. HELP!

    Again, everything worked perfectly until about two days ago. Out of nowhere, the numbers on the unlock screen stopped working. The sliders still work, the photo button still works. I've tried reseting it multiple times, and powering it off multiple times as well! Any help would be very helpful. It needs to be fixed as soon as possible for a private buyer. Thank you!!

    Have a read at all this, including the links. I personally would then proceed in this order.
    Open iTunes on your computer. Connect your device (iPad or whatever) to the computer.  Hold both home and power buttons for exactly 10 seconds, release the power button, keep holding home button until your device recognises it is in Recovery Mode. (Perhaps 10-20 seconds.) If the device screen is black (blank) then it is in DFU Mode.
    See this link and note the sentence commencing, 'If you restore from a different computer.... ' down near the bottom of the page.

  • HELP - MUSIC PRODUCER GSOD last BU was 2 months ago!!

    Hi Anyone,
    I am in a bit of hot water, my last backup wasent since we moved premises 2 months ago. Since then we I have created all whole new sound and am at risk of loosing it.
    I have the grey sceen of death and have repaired the disk multiple times through the Disk Utilities screen and to no avail, I really need some ideas on how to back up (if possible) my iMAC before I do a OS reinstall from the GSOD or from the Disk Utilities window.
    Thanks for any help with this
    Cheers

    You didn't mention which model iMac you have. It's always better to provide too much information because there might be an important clue.
    I suggest using the Target Disk Mode feature to mount your iMac's hard drive on another system long enough to back up your important data. For more info refer to:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Thunderbolt/10.6/en/8443.html
    There are also disk recovery programs like Disk Warrior which may be useful depending on the condition of your hard drive.
    If you are unable to recover the data yourself you can always turn to third party data recovery companies like Drive Savers. Just google data recovery service for additional options.
    Good luck with your recovery.
    One last thing... Be sure to set up a back up routine. I learned the hard way about the importance of regularily backing up data.

  • A few months ago my fan started making a lot of noise and is getting really hot. I've taken steps to prevent overheating, but nothing has changed. Is it a battery issue?

    I've had the computer for 2 1/2 years and it started getting really noisy about 4 months ago. I'm using rulers to elevate the computer above the surface of the table to prevent overheating, but its still getting really hot and the fan is still making a lot of noise on and off. Could this be a battery issue?

Now, when I attempt to start Windows partition, as soon as I touch the keyboard or mouse the screen goes black and I can't go any further. I have tried to re-load the bootcamp drivers and try again. It does the same thing. Any help would be great.
