Problems with Full Restore

The HD on my IMAC recently died. After having it replaced at the Apple store, I did a full restore which seemed to work correctly. However, several programs will not work properly:
VMWare Fusion-Errors
Firefox-Attempting to start seems to do nothing.
Word/Excel-Microsoft User Database Corrupt.
Any thoughts on what the problems might be? Other programs such as Safari seem to be fine.
Joe

The most likely solution is to reinstall that software. You can repair the MS User Database. If I remember correctly you hold down the OPTION key when launching one of the Office applications which should open the repair dialog.

Problems with Full restore using Time Capsule backup???

For some reason my MacBook Pro recently crapped out completely, and I am trying to do a complete restore of the OS via a full backup I made with using Time Machine onto my Time Capsule disk, but I am running into some problems doing so and I was hoping someone might have some insight as to how I should deal with things at this point...
Here's where things get messy...
- I insert my Mac OS X 10.5 Installation DVD into my Macbook and boot from the drive, and I immediately choose the menu option to 'Restore from Time Capsule Backup'...
- After logging into my Time Capsule and then choosing the proper .sparseimage file to restore from, I click 'continue' and it brings me to the screen where I choose where I want to restore to (which in my case, is the one and only internal HD inside my Macbook Pro)
- The bottom of this window tells me that it's "Calculating space required to restore data..." but it simply hangs at the point with a spinning wheel indicating its still doing the calculating, but never actually presents me with the space required, not does it allow me to click continue to perform the restore?? I've allowed it over an hour to calculate the space required and it still just spins its status wheel...
This is where I am stuck at this point, and I have no idea how to get it to proceed to the next step to allow me to perform the restore??
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, as I will have no choice but to do a complete reinstall (including all apps and data) if I can't get the backup restored... Thanks!

I had the same problem when installing a new HDD in my Macbook. The solution I found was to reinstall Leopard onto the new HDD from the install CD, then reboot off the install CD once I had done this. I was then able to choose the 'Restore from Time Capsule' option and get my HDD to show up in the window.
A word of warning, once you have reinstalled Leopard and it starts asking you for all you info, as if for the first time to set up your computer, there is an option at the end of that process to restore your data from a Time Capsule backup. While this did restore all my files and so forth, it did not update any of the 'Apple' apps, i.e. iTunes, iPhoto, Quicktime, or the operating system itself, suggesting a 500Mb download via 'Software Update' to update the system. It was faster for me to reboot of the install CD and restore via the process outlines above. That way you get all your system updates included.
Not sure if this is the 'approved' method but it worked for me! The restore process took about 75 minutes for about 100Gb of data from my external backup drive connected to my Macbook via a Firewire cable.
Hope this helps!

I am writing an internet based RPG and this is really eating into my time...
Can any one explain why my graphics will not show some times (works others) with the exact same code running....
I am using a BufferStratagy with a frame.
Any help would be gladly apreashiated thank you in advance,

Not a thread issue, no thread on this side of the program and yes there is a media tracker. However I have learned that my problem was that my screen does not like to flip to 800x600 for java applications for some reason thx any way.

Rescue and Recovery: No backups available for "local hard drive" with Full Restore

I can see all my backups in "view all backups" and can restore individual files, although when I select the option for "full restore", it reboots my PC and brings up the Rescue and Recovery interface which gives me the option for "full restore". When I select "full restore", it asks me to select the source.
As my backups are stored on my local hard drive, I select that source, however the scroll box is empty (no backups available for selection).
Can anyone recommend a solution to fix this problem, or should I remove and re-install Rescue and Recovery, then create new backups (and hope they appear in the list for full restore)?
I am running Rescue and Recovery 4.21.0016.00 on a Lenovo T61p with XP SP3.
Thanks.
Gary Grathen

Also, I have RnR 4.00.0117.00.
Where do I find and how do I delete these massive files?

Problems with a Restore after trying to resolve problems with Yosemite

Hi there,
I stupidly upgraded my OS to Yosemite without waiting a month or so for any problems to be fixed.
After the upgrade which went really well, or so I thought, all my apps worked, and I was very happy with it until I switched to Bootcamp to to find that I didn't have the option to select Bootcamp as startup. Although I had the BC icon on my Mac desktop, and I could access it from my Mac, I couldn't switch over.
So I did a restore to a timestamp just before my Yosemite upgrade - and this went... sort of well... I panicked when I thought I'd lost all my 10's of thousands of emails but the rebuild went well. The problems I have with my restore are that some of my applications are missing - I just get a '?' in the dock and it tells me what the apps are when I hover my pointer on them. The apps are;
System Preferences
Safari
Preview
Skype
Vox
VLC
uTorrent
Tunnelblick
Quicktime Player
My Pages documents no longer open - it says The required index.xml file is missing but it does manage to show me a quick view in spotlight
I have seen on this forum that this can be due to having more than one version Pages but I can only find one version in Application/iWork '09
I can't see why Safari wouldn't be present because I thought it was part of the operating system, as in Preview as well. I thought that maybe they are still on my Mac but need some sort of reset or something...
My bootcamp problem has been resolved by the way and I can switch to my Windows apps that I use regularly.
So I would really be grateful for help in restoring the apps above. I was thinking that apps I downloaded like Skype and Vox say, I can download again, but maybe I need to delete files etc. before reinstalling these missing ones.
Many thanks, Maz

Hmmm, problem resolved by restoring forward to my Yosemite backup.
It's the lesser of two evils and I have my Windows apps on my old PC...
So come on Apple and get this fixed - it's absolutely disgraceful that this should happen... absolutely disgraceful!

Problem with full-text search in RH8

Hi All,
I've just upgraded from RH6 to RH8 (laptop running Windows XP SP3; RH6 still present on the computer but the RH8 setup program did not seem to have a problem with that: identified an earlier version was present, asked for its serial number, and then proceeded).
RH8 is working just fine, except for one thing: in the WebHelp output I generate, the Search tab displays: "Error: Failed to initialize database".
As a matter of fact, the generation details in RH8 output view state:
Processing Full-text-search data...
Finished processing Full-Text-Search data in 0 sec(s)
This is the case for legacy projects that RH8 upgraded from RH6, but also when I create a project from scratch in RH8.
Now, to add to my confusion, before buying RH8, I had downloaded RH8 trial version and installed it on a spare computer (so it would not interfere with my RH6 installation and projects). The tests with this version were OK (hence the decision to buy the upgrade), and guess what: there was no problem whatsoever with full-text search, neither on legacy projects nor on new projects.
So before I go into the pains of uninstalling / reinstalling (hello registry, it's me again, trying to clean things up ;-), I'd like to know if anyone has any idea why this is happening.
Just to be clear: The RH8 version I bought and installed was a new download, distinct from the initial trial download.
The 3 differences between the trial version and the current working version are:
Trial was on a Vista computer (working version is on XP SP3)
Trial did not have RH6 present on the computer
Trial was version 8.0.0.203, whereas the working version is 8.0.2.208 (immediately after it was installed, RH prompted me to install the updates)
Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Hi All,
Just for the record, IT people here were eventually able to have RH8 full-text search feature working on my laptop by:
1/ Installing an XP virtual machine from scratch, and then installing RH8 on it (we created a small project and generated the webhelp output, just to make sure the search feature did work in that environment).
2/ Using a software virtualization application to capture that RH8 install and deploy it on my laptop.
The problem is not solved, because we still don't know what caused it (conflicting DLLs?), but it looks like we have a workaround - although certainly not a quick and easy one ;-)

Problem with full screen mode in player

hey,
I am having a problem with my Adobe Flash player in internet
explorer. I am using 2 screens on my computer and I am trying to
switch the player to play on the opposite screen when it goes into
full screen mode. It used to do this, but now I cant get it to play
on the right screen. If anyone has a solution to this I would
greatly appreciate it.

Make it into a Projector file then put it through FlashJester

Active IPAD 2 Problems after full restore

We followed this:
If you're locked out of your iPad and it's telling you that you need to disable "Find my iPhone".
And... you have access to a computer that you've synced your iPad with before.
Do these steps in the very specific order:
Pull up itunes on your computer
Turn off your ipad
Plug the cord into your computer (a computer that you have synced your iPad with before)... DO NOT PLUG INTO IPAD YET
Hold down the home buttom (The iPad is off.. and not plugged in)
Keep the home button pressed down.... Until I mention to release it
With the home button pressed down (the circle button).... with iTunes on the computer... and with the cord plugged into the computer.... Now, plug in the cord to the iPad. (Keep the home button pressed in).
On iTunes it will offer you the option to restore the iPad (This will wipe everything from you ipad unless it's backed up in the cloud).
Once you've clicked "restore" for the computer to start erasing and restoring... ONLY THEN release the home button (circle button).
Wait a bit.... It will do it's thing.
Eventually it will restore to apple settings.
But stopped in Active iPAD Screen.
We have the right Apple ID ( We tested the ID and the password ), we have access to email account ( same Apple ID ), but ITUNES showing that [email protected] can't be used to unlock this iPad !!! What's happing ?

Apple - Fix this!!!!!!
Apple, THIS IS WHERE YOU NEED TO LOOK on iOS 6 regarding "WIFI Lockout"!!!!!!
When this happens (WIFI freezes up aka "WIFI Lockout") – you can not get on internet while using WIFI!!!!!
You could be in the middle of surfing or using any app that makes data calls based on DNS and suddenly you can go no where or do nothing!
Yea sure, you can restart the WIFI connection, but WHO wants to CONTINUALLY do that?????
Apple (or any curious iOS 6 user that wants to see my point), when this happens open up a browser before you reset, disconnect/reconnect WIFI ( I tried both safari and chrome ) and type type 74.125.227.144 (google) and then “go”. A google search page will come up and you will be able to execute a search. (of course any link you click on will not work as it is dependant on DNS resolution)
Non DNS traffic works so the issue is not the WIFI connection to the access point!
APPLE, FOCUS ON FIXING THIS DNS DATA ISSUE AND YOU WILL GET MANY PEOPLE OFF YOU BACK!!!!
I KNOW THIS IS NOT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS WITH iOS 6, BUT THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM NOT BEING ABLE TO SURF OR GET DATA THE iOS 6 DEVICE IS REQUESTING!!!!!

Content missing and problems with resync / restore functions

Since this morning (it's early evening now), my iPod touch (3G, 64 GB, updated to iOS4 as soon as it was possible from Spain) is not working properly. It started while playing some music. It suddenly stopped without having to. I checked that the ipod was ignoring some songs, whose artwork appeared on screen, as if it couldn't find them. It jumped from one song to the next, and if it couldn't play it either, it stopped.
After a little investigation, I reached the "Settings -> Information" section, where I saw that, although the ipod said it had 4000+ songs loaded, it had more than 50 Gigabytes free, which was impossible, since it was slightly more than 32 GBs free the last time I sync'ed it, and the songs in my library weight about 25 GBs.
Once I arrived home, I tried to resync it, and then iTunes showed that most of the pod was empty and tried to reload all music, but it stopped due to an error after some 200 songs.
Then I tried to restore the ipod, but after a few minutes iTunes displayed an error again.
I'm trying now to resync it again. The process of reloading the songs is being painfully slow. It takes more or less 10 seconds for each song.
Can anyone wonder what migt be happening?
I bouht the ipod in March so it is under guarantee, but I'm going to start my summer holidays this week and I would hate to spend them without the ipod until Apple Services repairs/replaces my iPod.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I was resetting my macbook pro 17 (early 2009) to factory settings but does not restore due to a problem with the restore disk. Please advice me on what to do next.

I was resetting my macbookpro 17 (early 2009) to factory settings but was indicating problems on the restore disk. I erased my macintosh hd drive so the hd is empty. What do I do next?

Get an external drive and make a clone of your internal, erase the internal, set it for 1 partition (OSX Journaled) and restore the clone.

Problems with system restore points in Win 8.1 (keep increasing in size)

Hi,
I was sent here by Microsoft Support who seem to have no idea of the mechanics of System Restore and what could interfere with it. I've no idea where to post this, so I hope you can help in that.
I have the problem that my System Restore point (only a single point) keeps increasing rapidly in size from a few Mb to many Gb and even fills the C drive if I don't stop it. Setting a limit to the size doesn't help (in System Restore or VSS), as it ignores
it and increases the limit. I have tried all the usual (sfc, DISM, chkdsk, several antivirus and malware programs) with no success.
Obviously, I can turn off System Restore, but that isn't really something I want to do.

When you say "system backup", do you mean generation of system restore points or an actual backup? i don't use MSBackup.
Hi,
What I meant system backup is system backup feature that it would create restore point when you enable system backup automatically.
I made a test in our testing enviroment. limit restore point disk space usage to minize, create some restore point. When I create a seconde restore point, it would replace the former time point. The maxize disk space usage won't more than the limiation.
Therefore, please check the size of Restore Point in C:\System Volume Information if it's larger than system limiation.

Having Problem with Full Screen Videos Appearing with 1" Vertical Borders

I have a MAC running on Leopard and a PC with Windows Vista
Home Basic and Explorer.
I cannot get YouTube to go full screen without the vertical
borders appearing.
I have the current version of Adobe.
I need help on both systems. My Java is enabled and I've
already checked and unchecked Enable Hardware Acceleration.
This is not a Window Box problem. Its happening on all
videos.
Thank you for your help.

This could a RAM case, as when the phone is doing something and RAM goes down, it starts to close certain apps. Personally if all you wanted was a name on txt msg alerts I would recommend iSMS or ThreadSMS. AFAIK both works on on non-touch phones (iSMS was originally for s60v3) and not only do they provide the senders name on the text alert, they also let you view your messages in conversation view (iphone style) and are free...XD
If you find my post helpful please click the green star on the left under the avatar. Thanks.

Problem with full screen flash background

I want to use a shockwave swf animation as a full screen
background for a captivate presentation.
If I use, 'rest of movie' to display this swf background,
then any objects I try to put on top get covered over by the
animation... ie. I can't see them.
If I add the swf to each slide seperately ('rest of slide' or
any other setting), I can then see my other objects, but the
presentation gets huge - it sees the same swf multiple times (once
for each slide), even if I copy and paste. I am referring to the
size of the final generated swf file, btw.
I'm using v.1.01.
Thanks in advance..

Every time I think I've heard it all with regard to new
problems and new ways to create them, I see something like your
post, roke2468.
I am not being even a little bit critical; in fact, I admire
your creativity in even thinking of using animation as your
background!!
But the fact of the matter is, I don't believe there is any
way around the problem you are describing. Animation files are
generally large and when added to Captivate, it takes no time at
all to make the Captivate files humongous. Captivate just isn't
currently designed to be used this way - without exactly the
problems you are seeing. Sorry.
Welcome aboard the Community, and if we can figure out a way
to do what you are attempting (without blowing file-sizes and
download times into the stratosphere), we'll sure share it (neat
idea).
