Restore ends up with blue screen

My hard drive crashed so I reformatted it and then tried to restore my files from time machine. I found all of my backups and it loaded the most recent but when it was done and rebooted all I got was a solid blue screen? So I tried again selecting a backup from february and it worked. I then remembered that excluded certain files from backing up and wondered if It is possible to exclude the operating system from the backups and if this was causing my inability to restore the more recent backups? If it is possible I may have done that accidentally. Any assistance is appreciated.

Yes, that's possible, although I think the full restore won't even show you the backup if any system files were excluded.

  • IPhone5s stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen of death, cannot restore it as iTunes displays error 14 on verification, same time phone crashes again with blue screen.

    hi, my iPhone5s is only 3 months old, it has been like a whole month now since it started crashing, displaying the blue screen of death, since yesterday it was in the loop of restart-crash, and now it is stuck in recovery mode after lots of times displaying blue screen.
    I cannot restore it as phone continues crashing again with blue screen, when iTunes displays error 14 on verification.
    help please, this phone is all the means of communication I have.

    It's a hardware problem. That's it. You shouldn't bother yourself with this situation. Just see an AASP.

  • IPad ios8 random reboot with blue screen

    Hi everyone,
    I Know this question has been posted already but I'm so frustrated.
    after upgrading to iOS 8 my iPad air started to reboot randomly with blue screen at least 5 to 6 times a day.
    when will apple provide an update fixing this issue? Since it seems more common.
    model: iPad air wifi only
    ios: 8.0.2
    i have tried turning off iCloud sync as many suggested but it didn't help.
    reboots are frequent when I'm using safari.
    most of the time the diagnostic log shows WDT timeout

    Try Barry's suggestion first.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore (or it doesn't help), go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, read this.

  • Ipad air boots with blue screen

    my ipad air boots 4 5 times with blue screen as i use my wifi.....and it happend as i updated to ios 8. And i'm noticing from few days. I need the solutions

    Hi Air.sam, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I know that situations like this can be very frustrating. There are some very good troubleshooting steps that I would recommend in this situation however. Please use the attached article and troubleshooting steps to help you resolve the situation. 
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIsand corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Regards, 
    Joe

    my iphnoe5S always crash with blue screen,sometimes can`t start up

    Hello liuqinqin,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    For more information, take a look at:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
    If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    Have a nice day,

  • Satellite L650 - frequent computer restart with blue screen

    Hi, I bought an L650 about 2months ago so it is still under warranty.
    Recently (maybe last 2 weeks) it has continued to shut down with blue screen of death. It seemed to occur more if I opened up many tabs in internet and i thought it might be adobe flash but don't think so anymore.
    It says if there is new hardware or software installed try reinstall it but I do not know which software and there is no new hardware.
    "a problem has been detected and windows has been shyt down to protect your computer
    A process or thread crucial to system operation has unexpectedly exited or terminated.
    technical information:
    *** STOP: 0x000000F4 (0X00000000000003, OxFFFFFFFFAB007A4B30, 0xFFFFFFFFFA(rest off screen from camera)
    xFFFF800035C#1EO
    Somthing like above although its quick video on my camera so some numbers may be wrong.
    Can someone help if this is a hardware malfunction or my fault somehow?
    Is this a warranty problem or what should I do?
    I never made any windows CD or anything when I bought laptop unfortunately so do not know if I can reformat harddrive?
    Thanks.
    Kadin

    Hello
    It is worst than at the beginning with STOP: 0x000000F4 error message. It is always problematic to help with such problems because your notebook configuration, preinstalled software and activity is not known to us.
    In my opinion you should back-up all your important data, install OS again using HDD recovery option and test functionality with original OS without any additional software installation.
    If the BSOD will occur again and again I recommend you to contact nearest Toshiba service and ask for help. I have two Toshiba notebooks and until now I didnt notice BSOD at all.

  • Hello i have a problem when i start woorksheet, my computer crash with blue screen sometimes.

    OS: Win 2000 pack 2 and dasylab 7.00.05 ;ddi7.02 ;nidaq 7.0
    I hve this problem sometimes and need to reebot my computer.This worksheet is used to generate 4 signals to output and have an acquisition tooin this 4 channels.
    The error is in the blue screen:0x00000076 (0x00000000 , 0x81358300, 0x000001c2, 0x00000000).
    Thanks for your help.

    The DASYLab development team has read your message, and advises that there is insufficient information to be able to even start diagnosing the problem. We suggest that you send a note directly to [email protected], with your full contact information, DASYLab serial number, and the following technical information:
    -The Help-->Report information - this will tell us more about the computer, video and installed memory
    -Installed hardware - what DAQ devices are you using (exact models!)
    -The worksheet that crashes - we need to see how the timing is configured in the worksheet
    -What other programs are running at the same time?
    -Does the worksheet crash every time?
    -Does the NI-DAQ Test Panel work correctly for both inputs and outputs?
    Sorry that we cannot be more help in this forum; we do not have much experience with blue screen under Windows 2000. This is very hard to do, and is almost always related to a hardware problem - either a resource conflict, or problems with one of the installed hardware devices (DAQ, Video, Memory...).

    help me with blue screen while updating to io8.2

    I don't have a 4G device, but I thought you can use mobile safari, the safari on the iPad, on 4G.
    You could also try looking for a third party app. The official facebook app has been non to barely functional for years. I use mobile safari on my iPad although I do have a couple  of apps I've used upon occasion.

  • Waking up from sleep with blue screen

    Waking up from sleep with blue screen
    Since a few days my MBP wakes up from sleep by showing a blue screen for 30 seconds or more, instead of jumping to the login window (password needed after sleep)
    I looked in the forums for blue screen but found many problems non related to this.
    Any ideas?
    Could it have to do with the fact that about 4 days ago I upgraded to 4.8 from 4.7?

    Hi ChangeAgent,
    FINDER> FILE > FIND
    Use the FIND file from the Finder, not Spotlight, to find the folder called Receipts and click on this folder. Scroll down to see if you have this Security Update installed --
    Security Update: 2006-008
    it may be causing general problems to everyone.
    I have only seen this BLUE SCREEN since I installed this security update.
    It's the very latest one.
    The Blue Screen is not my only problem:
    I have had two system crashes (computer waking up with DARWIN window error, fixed when I re-booted).
    Scrolling has slowed down in some applications.
    The update in Microsoft Office vX was reverted, yesterday I received a message that said: Welcome to Microsoft Office (how can it welcome me when I have been using it every day for the past 15 years?)

  • Window 7 on Bootcamp crush with Blue Screen..

    Dear All,
    I am facing with crushing on Window 7 with blue screen for quite frequently. When i using the Mac OS X Lion, It is quite stable but happened Kernel Panic or Automatic Restarting. But it only happens rarely..
    Bluescreen Details:
    Appears like Memory Dump Error. And also mention to remove the newly installed hardware or software. And also mention about Virtualization.
    Scenario:
    I have installed Oracle Virtual Box on the Bootcamp Window 7 and run the virtual machine. After that start happening this errors and i have remove all the virtual machines and Oracle Virtual Box.
    Taken Action:
    Remove the Bootcamp Partitions and reinstall the Window 7 but after installed, it come out blue screen once again.
    What i think is because of Virtualization on BIOS but i am not sure how to turn it off on Mac.
    Please give me suggestions on how to repair this and thanks in advance for your advices.
    Best Regards,
    Great Mahar.

    I only suggested this scenario based on personal experience. I have faced 2 BSODs, while using Chrome in an XP box that I have at home. Also one of my college friends has experienced the same issue while using chrome on Windows 7. However, these have not occurred in a while since upgrading to the latest version of chrome. Honestly I don't know what could be your case but it should be a good idea to run the Apple Hardware Test to check the ram modules for errors as hatter suggested.

  • Same problem everyone else is having with Blue screen of death

    Only I have a dell dimension e521 brand new computer have had for about 3 months now and my ipod worked fine until today. I plug it in the usb port and in about 5 minutes my computer will go to the blue screen of death. If I unplug the ipod I can work on my computer with no problems but the 5 minutes after plugging in the ipod the computer goes to BSOD. I am also working off of Windows Vista. Any fixes you can think of will be greatly appreciated. I saw other people where having similar problems but I didn't see anyone working off a dell.
    Thanks!

    Well I've tried PRETTY MUCH all of the suggested solutions. I really don't feel like going out and buying another SCI card for my laptop only to find out it doesn't fix the problem. Yes, I'm on a Dell Inspiron 4150 laptop, running XP and connecting the iPod through the USB port on the SCI card (it's a dual card, which also has a firewire port).
    I also don't feel like going through the hassle of buying a firewire cable only to find out that it doesn't fix anything either.
    I spent a good hour on the phone with Apple tech support and got nowhere. She had me uninstalling, re-installing, re-booting, running msconfig, turning off Norton, setting the iPod in "disk mode", uninstalling and reinstalling some more, etc. and in the end nothing made a difference!
    I can get the Updater to recognize the iPod, but when I click the "restore" button I keep getting that "can't mount iPod" error. (And I know for a fact that Windows is installed on the C Drive, so that can't be the problem.)
    This is so frustrating. The tech support lady said if the last thing didn't work (which it didn't) then to call them back and they would continue to try and figure out how to solve the problem.
    It really shouldn't be this complicated, should it? Why don't they make an iPod that is pre-formatted for use with a PC??

  • CS4 Premiere (and Encore) crash on opening with blue screen

    I have been having a terrible time with CS4 Premiere Pro crashes over the last month or so.  Initially PP would just disappear from the screen as it was opening up, and if it didn't crash it was quite often after the Matrox RT.X2 logo came up after selecting the project to open.  I had less problems starting a new project than opening a previous one.  Sometimes it would open and crash during the work process without warning...forcing me to save after every change.  Then it got worse.
    I looked to the Adobe CS4 bulletin on crashes and it was suggested to update drivers.  The first driver I looked at needed an update (Nvidia Quadro FX1500 256 MB) so I had their download service do the work and installing.  During the process it stopped with 'Nvidia display pannel extension cannot install due to a version mismatch.  Resetting the display drives may solve this problem' without any suggestions on how to do that.  I have 2 Dell 24" monitors slightly different from each other but worked great before all this.
    From this point everything got even worse.  System Restore to the previous day did nothing.  Everytime I tried to open Premiere (or Encore) the whole computer crashed (blue screen) and restarted automatically.  I can no longer play any video without crashing -- not an AVI, MOV, WMV, etc.  Not even a finished DVD will play on the computer now.
    I have the latest versions updates of Premiere Pro 4.2.1 as well as the Matrox RT.X2 tools.
    While the Nvidia driver update situation made the situation worse, I was having problems with Premiere Pro CS4 way before this with 'instant' crashes and no warnings.  Strange that Photoshop CS4 works just fine as this has evolved into a video problem...and I need your help to get PP running again.
    I'm not a techie so please reply in novice language.  When CS4 came out it took Matrox quite a while to get off 'beta' tools upgrade so I waited until it was off beta (April 2010) and had my computer hardware expert upgrade my computer with CS4 and the new Matrox install -- way too technical for me to do.  It worked great...until about a month ago when all this started.
    I don't think the equipment I have now on my 2006 computer would work with CS5 - maybe you can look below and tell me.
    For reference, here is my equipment:  XP Professional SP 3; AMD Athlon 64 x 2 dual core processor; 4800+  2.41 GHz, 3.25 GB RAM; Nvidia Quadro FX1500 256MB; 2 Dell monitors - 2407WFP and ST2410; Matrox RT.X2; 2TB WE Raid Edition SATA 16MB; Blu-Ray burner BDR-2058BK; Pioneer 111 Dual Layer DVD Rewrite Burner; Sound Blaster Audigy4 24 Bit; Built in FD controller 2 IDE on the main board.
    Brian

    Thanks harm for your suggestions but I'm lost.  I am not a techie.  Went to your thread on building a new computer and it was way way over my head...so I'm back here asking for your suggestions as I couldn't even figure out how to copy/paste my equipment listed above and post this message there instead.
    Took my box back to the vendor who put it together for me in 2006 for $6000 and he's going to try and get it up and running again for me.  I told him about your recommendation to lose the Matrox and he doesn't think it's the problem if I want fast rendering, etc.  He says he's used RT.X2 in a ton of systems he's put together and work just fine.  He's going to try getting my present computer running, first of all without any new additions and then make suggestions.  It ran beautifully under CS2, so much so I skipped CS3 and was very late adding on CS4 ... and that's when the problems started.  Perhaps CS4 was just too demanding for my 2006 equipment...which probably means CS5 is even more demanding.
    So....two questions:
    1. If I upgrade what I've got, where do I start?  Or is it worth upgrading or better to start brand new (budget problems no doubt)
    2. If I start brand new, what do I put in the new box?  I looked at your 3 different cost areas and the budget config is probably not what I need but warrior level too high.  Even the middle road you recommened looks a little low for what I want to do making BR disks, but you would know.
    I assume some of the current equipment I've got could still be used, perhaps even the Matrox if that keeps costs down by not having to replace it with something else.  There is a new C drive for my programs and a new 2TB internal hard drive for files (which I mirror backup to an external 2TB drive).
    Could you make some build recommendations that I could give to my vendor?  Many thanks.
    Brian
    ps...how do you copy/paste on this forum?
