Restore did not Include Applications

I just did a restore and Applications did not come back. The dock strip is full of question marks and the Applications folder is empty.
I don't think I can use Time Machine to locate an earlier Applications folder and restore only that, since my iMac does not have Time Machine on it it any more after the restore.
What are my options now? Do I have to do a full restore again (from a different time capsule)? Any way to just restore Applications?
Thank you.

How? Did you boot from your Install disc and use the +Restore System From Backup+ option?
If not, what did you do?
And why did you restore? Were you having hardware or software problems? That might help explain what's going on.
Had you excluded anything significant from Time Machine backups? (There's some very bad advice about that floating around on the internet.)

If you mean a different backup, possibly. If you were having trouble, the apps on your Mac may have been corrupted or damaged, and that was backed-up, causing the trouble, but that seems very unlikely.
Or, you could do an +Archive and Install+ of Leopard (assuming your "signature" is correct). That will get the Apple apps, including Time Machine. Then you can use the +*Browse ...+* option to view and restore from the backups, per #17 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions. Depending on how you did the restore, though, you may not have permission.
Or, after the A&I, you might be able to use +Migration Assistant+ to transfer them (again, if you have permission).
See the *Archive and Install* section of the Glenn Carter - Restoring Your Entire System / Time Machine *User Tip.*

IPhone 3GS restore did not include text messages?

I went out to buy a new iPhone 3GS today. Yesterday I backed up my 3G, but when I restored from that backup- everything was there except text messages. All contents of the Phone and Mail applications are restored, but the Messages app has nothing... No convos saved at all.
Is this abnormal? If so, is there a way besides "trying restore again" (since I've already done a full sync and don't want to undo it all) of salvaging my conversations?
Thanks

The way I read this:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
it should have backed up SMS messages. Something to keep in mind though (from that article)
"iTunes only keeps one backup created during the sync process for each device. If you restore the iPhone or iPod touch and choose to set up as a new device from the Set Up your iPhone / iPod touch screen, iTunes will automatically sync and create a new, empty backup that will replace your previous backup. If you change your mind and want to restore to your previous state, you will have to retrieve your previous device backup from Time Machine (on your Mac), or other back up solution you regularly use."

Elements 10 backup from XP - restore to W7 - restore does not include any duplicated pics

Hi, hope someone can help?
I am a new user to Elements10 and originally installed it onto an XP desktop.    I have since upgraded the desktop to Windows7 and want to transfer my images and elements catalog. I have performed a full backup of my catalog from the XP os, via the backup process in Elements (which says successful) and performed a restore onto the W7 desktop retaining the original folder structure (also via Elements).
Despite doing this several times, I always get error messages saying the restore cannot restore a selection of .xml files, but if I continue with the backup it finally says "successful".
However when I compare the number of restored images, with the originals, it appears I am over 700 files short!       A bit of investigation indicates that the restore is not restoring any duplicate images (those with identical file names but in different folders), but only restores one copy of the image.    I can't check all 700 files individually, but can someone confirm if this expected behaviour, so that I can stop worrying that I have lost 700+ images?
Thanks
Steve

Ah... as per my 1st post, I am a new user to Elements.    Apologies, I have been approaching this from the wrong direction!   I have checked back on my original XP disk and Elements catalog, and it appears that when I set up the original catalog against my existing pics it did not include any duplicate files, therefore the Backup\Restore is correct, it is the original cataloging of my pictures that did not work as expected.     Do I have to do anything specific to get the catalog to include duplicate file names?
Sorry for the misdirection
Steve
Steve,
The basic rule of database management is to forbid duplicates.
In the case of the Organizer, that would mean changing one of the two above criteria (date daken or file size in kB). That would be possible outside of the Organizer by using external tools, but the problem is that you don't know which files are concerned...
Now that you have restored your catalog in your new catalog, a theoretical solution would be to get back to the old catalog, and use the organizer to delete all the files in the catalog. The remaining ones would be the duplicates. Creating a new empy catalog and importing the remaining files would recover all duplicates. You could then restore on the new PC.
There are still two problems:
- You can't delete a big number of files at the same time? You'd have to delete by small batches
- You'll have all your duplicates in your new PC, but you still won't be able to include them in the main catalog even you have now a special catalog with only the duplicates.
So, the final question may be : why do you want to keep duplicates? You can examine the duplicates catalog and see if they are really necessary. Maybe you can live with two different catalogs.

What if you have a situation where Restore did not work. I do. The ipad mini says it is disabled, connect to itunes. When connected, it says that it is locked! I have tried using Recovery/Restore but after it completed, the ipad mini still malfunctions. It does not allow you to start the device. The slide image keeps dancing around the screen. The opening page keeps changing in size and the keyboard types on its own! What can be done to fix this????????

Maybe a reset would help, to be followed by trying the recovery again.
To reset, hold the on/off and home buttons together for about 10 seconds till the Apple logo appears. Then do the recovery.
If this doesn't solve it, I recommend visiting an Authorized Apple Service Center.

When I downloaded Photoshop from the Creative Cloud, it did not include Adobe Bridge?

When I downloaded Photoshop CS6 from the Creative Cloud, it did not include a copy of Adobe Bridge. Adobe Bridge does not appear in the selections in my Adobe File Manager to download from the Cloud. How do I obtain a copy of Adobe Bridge?

Bridge is automatically installed with Photoshop, After Effects, InDesign, Illustrator etc. There is no specific option to install it.

I backed up to my PC and attempted restore but I keep getting an error message that "iTunes could not restore the iPhone because not enough free space is available." I have a 32GB iPhone; only 13GB used!!! HELP! iCloud backup/restore did not work either! How can I resolve this problem to restore from back up.

If you're not a developer then you really should not have upgraded.
I'm unsure how you can fix this as you have already done a back-up on iOS 7 and apple don't support firmware downgrades.

Open the Mac App Store on your MacBook Pro
Hold the Option key and click on “Purchases”
Hold the Option key and click on “OS X Lion” from the purchased app list
“Installed’ should now say “Install” which allows you to download OS X Lion.
This assumes you are using the same Apple ID on both computers.
Lion does not get installed on an iPad. It runs iOS.

Your apps will only be where you put them. if you failed to put them on your computer beore updating, then they would certainly be gone.

Steve!
There is a lot more "meat" in this .
I purchased all out of Denmark. My HD crashed and I reload it all. While doing this I had to install new iTunes, - this is the newest version 10.xx. The old version was probbaly 9.xx (cant remember). So the library files are from an old version, - but it does not look like creating a problem. I am now in Sweden, so iTunes was installed in Sweden, and I try to re-download my missing songs while being here in Sweden. However, - I belive I am connected to iTunes store in Denmark. ... (it takes 2 smileys for this, - if you get as far as to here and still have an overview.)

I think all you have to do is go to the App Store and download Lightroom mobile onto your mobile device. You don't need another package in order to get it.

I bought a new mac with 10.7.4, but it did not include iLife, or any programs from it. Is there a way I could get it, since it should have been included?

I bought a Mac Mini a week ago (10/7), and I did a little research on it. According to Apple, iLife, or any of the iLife programs, should have been included with the purchase. Is there a way to pick it up since it was not included? I have just updated to Mountain Lion 10.8.2.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Anthony Rodebaugh

Perhaps this is what you are looking for...

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased. Some glitch occured and you have to restore/erse the iPod. Y will have to restore from an existing backup if y ohave one.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

For how to restore:

To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.

IPod Restore did not fix issue...can't update iPod

Apologies for posting this as a "reply" earlier in the night...I'm new to this online help forum thingy. It truly belongs here as a "question," so here goes:
I have used my iPod without issue for over a year. Suddenly, I have encountered some freakish problems. The iPod connects to iTunes, but nothing happens after that (no transfer of songs...just freezes in "Do Not Disconnect" mode). I have taken the following steps today:
1) Tried resetting iPod. No dice.
2) Downloaded new 2006-03-23 updater.
3) Downloaded new v6.04 iTunes.
4) Uninstalled iTunes v6.03 and restarted PC, as prompted.
5) Installed new 2006-03-23 updater and restarted PC, as prompted.
6) Installed iTunes v6.04 and restarted PC, as prompted.
7) Shut down iTunes.
8) Ran Updater...performed "Restore." (The "Update" button was greyed out and has been ever since I installed the new Updater 2006-03-23).
9) Connected to iTunes...began updating songs, left PC to let it download the 3000+ songs while I ate dinner, etc. Left during the transfer of song #13 of 3000+.
10) Came back to an error message that I don't recall.
11) Closed iTunes, re-ran Updater.
12) Tried iTunes again...iPod showed up, but was given the error message "The iPod could not be updated. The disk could not be read from or written to."
13) Disconnected and reconnected; tried all other firewire ports. No dice. Firewire card in PC is functional.
14) Received this error message: "iTunes cannot read the contents of the iPod. Use the iPod Software Updater application to restore the iPod to factory settings."
15) Closed iTunes and re-ran Updater. Again.
16) Opened iTunes. No dice. Again. This time, it didn't even prompt me to customize the name of my iPod...it just connected to iTunes and sat there with the default name "IPOD." Nothing happened for several minutes, so I ejected the iPod via iTunes.
17) Tried Disk Mode. Nothing.
On the bright side, the iPod is now fully charged...it seems the power aspect is working and there is some data transfer capability. Nothing else is wrong with the PC...I have encountered no other usability issues...I run AdAware, Spybot, and have the full McAfee Suite (all updated with the latest detection/definition files). Running Win XP Pro and using U2 Spec. Ed. iPod.
I quit for the night, but tomorrow is a new day. Help!!!

Thanks...forgot about the anti-virus/firewall angle. That was helpful because it allowed me to rule out the possibility of those security programs interfering with any Apple program components.
Uninstalled iTunes and the iPod Updater...reinstalled with firewall and antivirus disabled. Restored iPod with firewall and antivirus disabled. Then tried syncing the iPod with iTunes...still had issues.
Restored again in disk mode with antivirus and firewall disabled (modem off the whole time, of course). The update quit on song #1777 out of 3600+. Still not working properly. Aaaargggh!!! I'm thinking a trip to the Genius Bar is in order if I can't get a resolution here...problem is, the Apple store is a half hour away. Any other thoughts?
