Problems getting programs and settings back to where they were before A/I

I had to do an archive and install because the OS X 10.4.9 update messed up my system. I am now back on my MAC with v.10.4.8. The problem now is that some of my applications are acting weird. They aren't loading up the settings they should be. I tried copying the Library folder onto my MAC HD root directory and tried to replace the new one that was there and it didn't let me do it because it errored. First it said you will need to type in your administrator password in order to replace the Library folder then, right after, it said an unexpected error occurred? How do I go about getting these settings and these programs functioning again. Guitar Rig and EZdrummer won't load up when I start logic it says they can't be found or something, and I tried replaced just the Audio folder in the Library folder and it wound up not working right and now that folder is empty. I still have all the archived files in the Previous Systems folder in the root directory on my MAC HD. Can anyone help me?

  • How can I get my sound settings back to where they were initially. I lost my default device somehow.

    I was trying to listen to my music via my Bluetooth Bose speaker and I could not make that work. I went to Control Panel>Sound>Playback, and chose my default device, selected Properties, then Don't Use This Device, at which time my default device disappeared and all of the sound from my computer stopped.  Please help.

  • The icons on my phone got moved around how do I get them back to where they were?, The icons on my phone got moved around how do I get them back to where they were?

    For some reason the icons on my iPhone got re-arranged. Is there a way to "default" them back to where they were?
    Thank you.

    No,its not possible to rearrange to default where they were. 
    You need to re arrange them again manually.

    Have you checked the sorting settings to make sure they are as you expect?

  • I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts.  After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were.  Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

    I merge projects in aperture, it works fine until aperture restarts.  After aperture restarts, the projects are no longer merged, and are back the way they were.  Can anyone suugest how to make the merge permanent?

    I tried the first aid tasks but the issue is still there.  I have more info now though.  It's not a problem with merging.
    The problem is that new projects are being generated everytime aperture starts (with the same name, ie 01, 02.... and 01 (1), 02 (1) .....)
    When aperture start, it shows "importing".  When I click on importing, it goes into the activity box.  In the activity box, has many lines as below.  The added projcts are all empty.  It's annoying because i have many useless projects being generated.

  • All my plugins (normally at bottom right) such as Gmail notifier etc. have suddenly moved to the bottom left of screen. How do I get them back to where they were?

    also using Wisestamp, Xmarks and screengrab

    How do I find out if someone has taken the time to answer my question. This is my first time on this site.

  • I downloaded Ff v.4, and now my tabs are way on top of the page, above the address bar; how can I move them down to where they were before, just above the window? ...Thanks!

    Another problem that was there before v.4, is that the bottom tab hides behind other tabs, so I have to close everything else to get to it. If you have advice on that too, it would be much appreciated.
    Thanks a bunch!

    Right-click the Navigation Toolbar and de-select '''Tabs on Top''' in that contextual menu.

  • I Batch Renamed some photos and I need to know if I can name them back to what they were before? I didnt check the preserve metafile

    I am hoping there is a big undo Button I haven't found yet. LOL

    I doubt there is you dropped it and broken the screen
    try holding the top button and the round button at bottom of screen
    hold both until maybe an Apple logo appears if nothing after 20 secs
    the iPad is toast
    It can be exchanged at an apple store for around $249 to $219 depending on model
    Apple do not do repairs
    I would own up now before it gets more complicated

  • HT4759 After updating to ios 7 my Outlook 2010 contacts are stored in the cloud.  How do I get my Outlook contacts back the way they were?

    After upgrading to ios7 my Outlook 2010 contacts on my Windows 7 desktop were moved to the cloud.  Is there a way I can return Outlook Contacts to the way they were before the upgrade?

    Did you backup as part of the update?
    You don't have them on your computer?
    Have you checked what your sync setting in iTunes are?

  • Problem restoring files and settings after a recovery

    I did a system recovery using recovery disks purchased from HP. My files and settings were backed up during the recovery program on an external drive.
    There were no instructions included on restoring files and settings after the system recovery. I called HP and a support tech told me to run the backup program on the external drive from the admin profile which I did. However, the program put my old files on my C drive at the following location C:\System Recovery Files\C\Users\Bill.
    How do I use these files under my current user profile at C:\Users\Bill?
    I suppose I could move my data files, folder by folder, but is there an easier and better way?
    My computer is as follows:
    HP Pavilion GC673AAR-ABA m8100n, SN MX3733051W
    Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bit
    This question was solved.
    View Solution.

    Unfortunately the backup feature within the recovery manager is used as a last resort option for gathering whatever files can be saved, and there is no way to place the files back to where they were previously.
    I am an HP employee, but my views are my own and are not endorsed by HP.

  • I just updated to ios6 and now I have a hard time reading the number pad. Can I get the colors to go back to the way they were before? Or can I get rid of ios6?

    Can I change the colors on the number pad back to what they were before the update?

    Hi Idreier,
    I'd try starting Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If you don't have the issue while all of your add-ons, extensions, and themes are disabled, you can try adding them back in one by one until you find the culprit.
    Hopefully this helps!

  • Phone Applicatio​ns resort to original locations and/or locations in whihc they were added to the phone

    This weekend my phone started cycling on and off for no apparent reason on Friday and Saturday. I replaced the battery about 3 times (properly using the shut down) to see if it was a battery problem but it was not. Then on one of the cycling on/off on Saturday the phone reset all the applications it appears to original pages and locations and the apps I have added (125) all over the place on the first tab/page in no logical order that I had them sorted in (my guess is they are now sorted in how they were added to the phone date and time wise, but that is just a guess). I have since moved my apps back to where they were but when reset the phone they all went back to unorganized. I moved them a few times and every time their location gets reset to an illogical order again. I was on chat here for an hour plus and after 45 minutes the first chat rep could not solve the issue so he just disconnected me. I reconnected, got the same rep, he read my name, and immediately disconnected me. I then did this with three new reps, they read the log after saying hello and their standard lines, then immediately disconnected the chat. So HP provides no service. If you want to call them it will cost you $14.95. IF you want to email them, they provide no email address. If you go to their free Chat service and they don't want to or don't know how to correct your issue they just disconnect you. I copied all the logs to a Word document so I'll probably just go to Verizon and they won't do anything so when my contract ends, I'll be with another provider and another phone company's products. But anyway, back to the issue at hand. I tried to move a couple of apps around then do a Palm backup to see if that would lock their locations in and then restarted/reset the phone and it still moved the apps back to a nonsensical location. I used this phone for a year and a quarter never having to move apps back to where I had moved them after resets but apparently I think HP did something this weekend that ended all that. I am not sure what all of your experiences have been but I don't think a week goes by on average that my phone does not have to be reset due to its problems or because I have run out of battery power and need to put in a new charged battery, with the Apps all over the place, this phone has basically become useless from a "smart Phone" standpoint. Anyone else having this issue and know of a solution?
    Post relates to: Pre Plus p101vzw (Verizon)

    Saying that I have solved the issue is not quite right...but...here is what I ended up doing and how I have in a way attenuated the problem...
    I decided to reset the phone, start it from new....really. I mean, not installing absolutelly anything at all and going step by step like it was the first time. By not installing anything I include the 5.1.1 release. Very important part of the process of getting my phone to work again.
    Every app I wanted to keep, I simply downloaded it again (I actually erased purposely the back ups to make sure it wasnt an issue with a corrupt file). The same goes for adding music and libraries.
    As for emails, which were, I beleive, the dataacessd issue that kept on reporting to apple on low memory...I simply decided to keep only the main accounts I have...and NOT SYNC IT WITH ICLOUD!!! I took special attention to blocking SPAM from being sent to the phone...since I was worried if maybe this could be a malware...(I have to say I am still in doubt if it isn't...)
    I downloaded an app called Memory Free, which shows perfectly that my memory is still running at the edge...at the most it reaches 20 Mbs...instead of the 400 or 500 it is supposed to be, but the crashes are much less frequent now. I would say it only happens if I am multitasking against 3 or 4 apps at the same time.
    I can listen to music again...and I can be multitasking again...I can write messages without the app closing on me...then again, I insist...APPS STILL CRASH, only not as often as before.
    Apple absolutely doesn't reply...and certainly aren't even looking into getting this fix...the Genius at the store or over the phone...or whatever, arent aware of the issue at all (or they pretend not to be)....and insist this is a HW issue, which more and more it seems to me like a "HW design flaw" then an actual HW issue.
    I have to say I am certainly falling out of love with Apple all together (iMac, Ipad, iCapsule...), since literally they are all falling apart with issues.

  • Bottom row greyed out and apps moved - why ? How do I get them back to where they belong ?

    bottom row greyed out and apps moved - why ? How do I get them back to where they belong ? Have no idea how this happened.  At first it seemed the apps - phone, safari, mail - were LOST.  But they were moved up with all the others. 

    Thanks for your response.
    However I managed to figure out how to recover - it's just a matter of moving them back to the bottom row 'dock' !  So it's actually very easy.  I was 'thrown' by this unexpected development - don't know how it happened - but it's a 'non-issue' now.  Hopefully my next post or question - if I have one - will be more 'substantive'!

  • After installing V.10, mmonitor settings were changed and I can't change them back. What can I do to get the higher settings back?

    I use an external monitor (Acer) with my netbook (Asus). This morning before FireFox upgraded to V.10 my monitor settings gave me small typefaces on the monitor, I don't remember what the machine type was in the Windows control panel for display. Now after I restarted the machine, the Control Panel setting for the monitor is showing only the Mobile setting and the display if huge and I can't change the monitor settings. I'm feeling very mad right now. After the V.10 upgrade, Mozilla also said some software wasn't working or compatible with V.10, but I didn't note what they were. I just want to be able to get my older settings back and not have the huge icons, typeface, etc.

    Note: based on another thread, you might also need to remove a user.js file which Firefox reads at startup and uses to override the settings change you make in about:config or in the dialogs.
    This article describes how to track that down: [[How to fix preferences that won't save]].
