My mbpro would not start so re-installed (as instructed by the website) how do i recover files after i re-installed my OS?  thank you.

my 13" mbpro would not start so i followed the instructions & turned out i needed to reinstall the OS.  can i still recover my files after i erased & reinstalled?  if yes, how do i do it?  thanks.

If the system partition was erased, recovery of any files previously stored on it as identifiable entities is unlikely.
Keeping an external CarbonCopyClone of the startup disk (free download) gets you a bootable clone (with all applications installed) so you have a chance of cloning back onto the internal disk if you ever need to reformat the partition again.

  • Because of warning  I received for my iTunes (it would not start up) MSVCR80dill missing, if I remove the program and reinstall will I lose the music I already had and purchased?

    I am somewhat computer illiterate but I have a question.  I have had iTunes for several years and never had a problem.  I occassionally get prompts to update and those only take about a minute and they're done.  Last week, the download could not complete even after I had tried 2 or 3 times.  I just let it go thinking I would try again when I had more time.  Yesterday I tried to access iTunes on my Windows 7 and got a message, " could not start iTunes, MSVCR80 dill is missing.  Please reload iTunes to fix the problem.  I tried several times but I continue to get the same message without iTunes coming up.  I talked to a computer geek today who told me I should go to my control panel and uninstall iTunes and reinstall it.  My question.  I have placed many albums of music and purchased many songs from the iTunes shop which I am concerned will go missing or deleted if I uninstall and reinstall.  Will I lose my library if I do this?  What precautions can I take to make sure everything comes back as it was?

  • V 31. installed would not connect to internet, restored to 30, now the pinned tabs due not persist between starting and closing FF.

    Installed version 31.0 from version 30.0. It would not display any web pages, e.g. google, had a message about not being able to connect. Did a Windows system restore point to version 30 (I had created a restore point before the install) . FF will now not save pinned tabs between sessions and it will not restore the last page from a previous session. All it will display is the Default FF page.
    Can someone give me some idea's about how to fix this. I tried reinstalling version 30 but that did not work to fix the problem.
    Greg

    Hi,
    First, thanks for everyone responding. Here is what the problem was....
    For some reason, there is a profile under Local in Mozilla and another profile under Roam. The Roam profile was the one that was being pointed to from the Troubleshooting tab under help. The local profile only had some partial files not including sessionstore.js. I copied all the files from the Roam profile to the Local profile. This restored the pinned tabs but not the open tabs from the previous session. I then updated Roam and Local profiles with the last sessionstore I could find in the Roam directory.... for some crazy reason this restored everything. Updating to FF v 31 was what initially caused this.
    I did create a restore point before the update, which would not connect any tabs to the internet (e.g. Google). I then restored from the restore point, and ended up with the damaged FF v30 installation, which would connect to the internet but would not pin tabs and remember them or display the last page I had visited as a start page....
    So, I hope someone gets a chance to look at FF v31, and why there is a Roam and Local directory with profiles in them ?
    Thanks

  • Will not start on New Install. Opening goes straight to Crash reporter

    Will not start on New Install. Clicking on icon does not open a window and goes straight to Crash reporter. I cannot access a window to try to open in safe mode (unless there is another method than outlined in the help article).
    I run Windows XP and trying to install the latest 15.0.1 version. Before install, I did disable my Symantic virus protection. I have never used Firefox and would like to try it, but I'm having little success so far to even get started.
    Please let me know if anyone has any other ideas or need more information from me.

    hello Singyt, the bug report associated to this kind of crash indicates that it might be a malware related issue.
    your crash report also shows a file named "urixalog.dll", which doesn't turn up any search hits on google, which is also slightly suspicious. could you search for that file on your pc and upload it to a site like virustotal.com in order to analyze it.
    please do a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and/or a different tool like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes].
    [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]]
    edit: the bug report also suggests that a monitoring program named spector pro/360/... which essentially acts like malware, might cause the issue. in case you have that installed please remove it. otherwise [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20crashes%20when%20you%20open%20it#w_backdoor-ulrbot-c here] would be a removal guide for urixalog.dll

  • After deploying Custom Component BO Analysis Adaptive Server would not Start

    Hello all,
    I just developed my custom component in Design Studio with SDK and uploaded this component to BI Enterprise 4.1 SP2 Patch 3 server . After that, I tried to restart the Adaptive Processing Server which includes Analysis Service. However, the server would not start and it fails. If I uninstall the component and restart the server, it starts and works smoothly.
    I have installed the same components to other BI servers without having any problems.
    Do you guys have any idea what could be causing this?
    Thanks in advanced.

    Zahid,
    Check if this line is added to the command line of the server holding the DS Server.

  • Updated to 4.01 and it would not start, removed and loaded 3.6 with no problems ??? running XP SP2

    Have been using ver.3.6 for months and have not had any problems, tried to update to 4.01 and it would not "start", even after re-starting the pc. Removed and reloaded ver.3.6 and no further problems.
    System is a XP SP2 ???
    Are there any issues with ver 4.01 on XP

    No, there are no issues running FF4x on Windows XP. I have that OS installed myself.

  • TA44551 My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work.

    My 1-year ipod nano locked up and would not start overnight. The on/off button will not work and stopped holding charge. No water damage, no fall, nothing unusual. I restored it (twice) but it will still not hold charge and on/off does not work. I tried to restore it again and charged it in three different locations with different cables. etc but nothing. Suggestions?

    - After charging for 1/2 hour or so, does iTunes see the iPod?  If yes, restore the iPod from backup.
    - If no, se if placing the iPod in recovery mode will make it visible so you can restore the iPod.  For recovery mode see:

  • My iPad air would not start.  Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.

    My iPad air would not start.  Only show the apple logo then no reaction after that.  This is already the 2nd time.  Last time I sent back to the service center and they said it is the system problem and reset the system and charge me for the service because they said it is not a hardware problem.  It happened less then 30 days and same problem again.  Can someone please send me the hard-reset step so I can try myself before I send back to the service center again?  thanks
