Recovery media USB no longer working properly

Hi
I made a Recovery media USB using the creator last year. I tried to use this to yesterday to restore my laptop to factory setting to be certain of removing any viruses/malware. I pressed F12 after booting and followed the Toshiba wizard to choose the Recover to out-of-box state option. However I eventually got the message "There is not enough space on HDD recovery. You need an additional 13.0 GB to copy these files. HDD recovery - space free 10.2 GB, total size 10.3 GB."
I thought this was strange because I was using the recovery media of the USB not the hard disk. Also there was over 50GB free anyway. So I proceeded to rerun the wizard and chose to erase the hard disk and all partitions so as to free up the HDD space it was requesting. This took about 24 hours. I reran the wizard and got the same warning öf not enough space on HDD recovery. Again this did not make sense because the hard disk was now totallly wiped and there should be about 300GB available on a 320GB formatted disk.
I then reran the wizard, chose system recovery options and system repair. It then asked for installations discs which of course I do not have. The problem now is that booting from the USB now always asks for the installation discs, it does not go back to the Toshiba wizard. When I checked the USB drive I noticed that it had been modified when trying this repair, eg. files BCD, BCD.Backup.0001 in the BOOT directory were modified on 12 July 2014. Is there anyway I can make it go back to the Toshiba wizard?
Thank you
Mike

It also says on the screen:
File: \Boot\BCD

HT1665 Why does my ihome no longer work properly since my iPod update

My ihome no longer works properly since I updated my iPod to the most current software update. Is there a fix?

Sometimes thisworks:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
However,sometimes an iOS update breaks compatibility and you have to wait for either an iOS update or and update to the iHome firmware. Go to iHome's support site

Clicking on iTunes ikon and I get the message the item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly. What can I do, I can't open Itunes. I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had

When I click on the iTunes ikon I get a box pop up which reads Problem with shortcut. The item iTunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved, so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
My computer which is a packard bell vista operating system, recently stopped working as the power supply overheated and blew up and it has recently been sent back to the Know How team at PC world and it seems to be since it came back I now cannot open iTunes. I have also tried to search for iTunes in the search bar, I can see several files, but can't seem to open any of these either. I think that quicktime isn't working, either.
I have over 4000 songs in iTunes that I had recorded from my collectiong of CD's am going to loose all these now? Can anyone help, with very easy instructions as I really don't know what I am doing??
Thanks

I would copy over the entire thing if you have room. With iTunes 10.4 though, you can download any previous iTunes purchases you have made in the past with your current iTunes account. While in iTunes, look at the left hand side of your screen and select "Purchases" and look at the bottom right corner of the screen and select "Download Previous Purchases". If you have an iPhone, iPod and/or iPad...you can do the same thing from each device. Nice new feature...just remember that those ripped CDs need a back-up!!! Enjoy...

Getting error message : the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut refers to has been changed or moved so this shortcut will no longer work properly. I get this either using the start menu or the desktop shortcut. I tried going to programs /itunes and repair.

Getting the error message:
the item Itunes.exe that this shortcut referes to has been moved or changed so this shortcut will no longer work properly.
I tried going into the control panel/programs /itunes and selected repair which didn't fix it. Any suggestions on restoring the broken shortcut without removing and re-installing the program?

Thank you

I think it is some sort of permissions issue preventing the installer from updating the shortcuts. Is your account an administrator of the machine? If it is and you still have the problem then you may need to explicitly use the "Administrator" account for the install.

Dear ladies and gentlemen!
I recently received on my notebook, operating system 8.1, the message "Adobe Acrobat is no longer working properly". I also found myself that I can copy from einerPDF file excerpts not without problems in another document. My Adobe Acrobat 9 Pro has released version 9.0.0. Two updates this version is not listed. Please inform me how I can fix this problem.
Sincerely, Walter Hacksteiner
mailto: [email protected]

The first thing I would try is to update Acrobat 9 to the latest version 9.5.5
The next thing would be to run Acrobat 9 in Windows 7 or Vista or XP Compatibility Mode.

Interactive PDF: Rollover button state no longer working properly ???

Okay, what's going on with the Interactive PDFs lately?
Now all my rollover buttons no longer work properly. If I have a button that's simply a black arrow, and in the rollover state it's red.
No matter if I'm checking it out in the latest Acrobat Reader or Pro X, the rollover only works for a brief second..then reverts back to black - the original state.
This, combined with my latest problem with the show/hide button state, is really becoming a frustrating hassle:
http://forums.adobe.com/message/3933451#3933451
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm running 7.5.1.
Is this an Acrobat issue? The button function here seems to work in the InDesign preview mode.

Hhmmm...I'm actually having this problem even with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional. Does this make sense?
Again, I'm creating the document in InDesign CS5 and then building the PDF with Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional, and the rollover effects don't work in Adobe Acrobat 9, Adobe Reader 9, and Adobe Reader 10.
I'm a bit new to this process of software not providing its basic touted functionality. Is this the kind of thing where support for this functionality will vary from product to product? I had the same issue with PDF Portfolio -- where all its functioanlity was not supported in Adobe Reader X. If so, perhaps I should simply stick with the classic features of PDFs. Or can I trust, reliability, that going forward, this rollover effect will be supported in all Adobe Reader versions? This is quite an important issue for me as I provide all the documentation for my employer, including customer facing documentation -- and I simply don't know. Any recommendations?

Audigy 2 Platinum Ex No longer working properly under vista

;Audigy 2 Platinum Ex No longer working properly under vistat I have just upgraded to vista and I find my sound card to be no longer functional
I have upgraded all the fri'vers I can find
SBAX_PCDRVBETA_US_2_8_000.exe
creative_sbxfi_250002_vista.exe
and a couple of others that SecurityCentre found
And when I open "Surround Mixer" I get "The selected soundcard is not supprted by the application," whatever the hell that means.
Ihave spent all day researching installing rebooting, and cannot get microphone, and all the other functions "what you hear" etc to work.
What must I do to get this perfectly good sound card to work please. Vista has been out for some time now, and I would export supportingdrivers yo have been redily visible.
Thank you in anticipation.

? I guess Creative doesn't care about living up to the promise that their product is upgradeable as new technologies emerge such as VISTA. They were give plenty of warning, that it was coming out, and it has been out for some time. I guess the $700AUS I spent is down the tubes, because the lazy people at creative cannot be bothered to bring it into compatibility - AS PROMISED with "peace of mind" they said. There is no way that I will acti'vely tell people how good creative is any more. In fact I will be acti've in just the opposite.
Get of your backsides and support AS PROMISED, we deserve it, instead of giving us second rate partial compatibilities. I have wasted the best part of a week trying to get it all sorted, where do I send the bill for my time? Hvae I got sour grapes? No, I just expect decent support as promised.
I issue the challenge - ?Provide decent support and I will retract. Fair is fair. I PROMISE.

Old Edge projects no longer working properly

All my Edge projects I did back in 2012 are no longer working properly when i open them in the new Edge CC. Most (if not all) start-positions are wrong, animations go the wrong way and so on. Is there a way of getting it back to work without re-doing everything? An "import" or something?

IPhoto Functions No Longer Working Properly?

Since updating from OS10.3.3 to O10.3.9 my iPhoto no longer works properly. Reducing red eye leaves an ugly greenish-bluish-black mark, for example. I have checked for upgrades. None available. Does anyone know how, or if, this can be fixed? Thanks

Reducing red eye leaves an ugly greenish-bluish-black mark
"Reducing" red-eye is a little misleading. It's removed, not reduced, and what you're seeing is the absence of color. The effect shouldn't be very noticeable unless you're zoomed in for very close viewing, in which case you'll need to use a more sophisticated image editor to fix the red-eye.

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, everything works fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN.

Ever since i downloaded OSX Mountain Lion, Express VPN no longer works properly for me. Even though it says I am connected, webpages refuse to load. However, connection speed is fine when its turned off. I cannot go on many websites without the VPN. My current location is Shanghai, China. OSX Mountain was installed this morning and everything worked fine until then. Is Express VPN not supported? What do i need to do in order to get it working again on my Macbook Pro (early 2011). I want to be able to go on websites such as Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, ect...

Hi,
I am having the same issue listed above on my new Mac Mini i just bought, I also contacted Express VPN support and got the same instructions with exception of the command to run in the utilities terminal. I tried the steps listed, and both commands (posted here, and sent to me directly by Express VPN support), and still unable to connect on my Mac Mini running OS X 10.8.2, but I am able to connect on my iPad and my MacBook which is running Mac OS X 10.6.8. Usually Express VPN is spot on with their customer support, but this is taking longer to get resolved. Here is the steps sent to me
Try doing the following to see if the problem gets resolved:
Please follow the instructions here: https://www.expressvpn.org/support/setting_dns_servers_mac_os
(should still be the same for Lion) and then add the following DNS servers: 8.8.8.8 & 208.67.222.220. After adding the DNS servers, please do the following steps as well:
Note: If you're connecting to your ISP via a PPPoE connection, then set the DNS servers on the PPPoE connection itself and then restart your computer for the DNS settings to take effect.
1. Click on Applications
2. Click on Utilities
3. Click on Terminal
4. Type the following command (without the quotes): "sudo killall -HUP mDNSResponder"
5. Press enter and then try reconnecting to the VPN.
If you're still unable to connect, please send us in the latest log files.
Hope this helps. Let us know how it goes.
