Restoring libraries after crash!

how do I reload a library file after a hard drive failure?

hi bigredergib!
hmmm. the library information (playlists etc) is stored in the itunes library files. did you back up copies of those?
What are the iTunes Library files?
... it might be worth incorporating backing up those into your back-up regime. these Buegie posts are good resources on these matters:

Why restored windows after crash is with random order?

I use new windows for grouping taks and tabs in each taks. If browser crash then after restoring windows is in random order.

Why do you doubt that a particular driver may be causing crashes? This is not an unusual thing. Do you have any evidence or reasons for dismissing this (e.g. Apple's touchpad drivers are user-mode)?
Regarding the issue, I am experiencing the same problem. After upgrading the trackpad driver I started getting BSODs and other odd behavior.
Yes, it's an Apple driver issue, as are some of the audio problems Windows is having. The audio noise/corruption is being caused by Apple's wireless driver. Some users are reporting good results by replacing Apple's wireless driver with a downloaded Windows broadcom driver. Sorry I don't have a link but it's been posted on this forum.
I believe the OP mentioned several applications were upgraded.

Firefox will not restore session after crash

Hello, I am writing because whenever I resume Firefox (like from a crash or restart), it will not reload my previous pages. Instead it will only open a new window and I have to dig through my history to find and reload the pages from my previous session. Firefox is set to remember history and to show my windows and tabs from last time.
My Firefox version is up to date (although it seems that the version doesn't matter). I have gone into about:config, set browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo to 40, set browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo to 10, and reset broser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash to true. None of that has helped and the latter kicks back to false every time Firefox restarts.
I have had this issue occur a couple of times in the past, and if I recall, I had to create a new account. If told how to, I can do this again, but I would prefer to get to the root of the problem to prevent this from occurring again (plus I'd hate to lose all my history again). If anyone can help me with this, I'd greatly appreciate it. If you need to know anything else, feel free to ask. Thank you.

I have finally found a working solution with help from Zzxc.
You do have to create a new profile, but you can save everything from browser history to ad-ons to dictionary. It even restored the pages I had open in the old profile.
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing+profiles
This shows you how to create a new profile. I left the old one and named my new one as "name" - New Default - "current date"
http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#How_to_find_your_profile
This shows you how to find all of your information and settings for both profiles. It shows you what file is what (so you can pick and choose), but if you just copy everything from inside the old profile folder and paste it into the new profile folder, you should be gold.
This seems to have worked for me. If it turns out that I copied and pasted the problem as well, I will post it here, but as of now, everything appears to be in working order. Thanks.

Need to restore iTunes after crash

I am running iTunes on XP Pro and had it set up nicely to sync with my iPhone. Then my computer crashed and I had to do a fresh OS install.
Now when I connect my iPhone to my PC and it startes up iTunes, I get a message saying that my iPhone usually syncs with a different computer and I think threatens to wipe my iPhone clean of apps, songs etc.
I do have a backup of my files from before the crash. Does anyone know what I need to do in order to recreate the relationship between my phone and iTunes? I'm guessing there are a few files that I can copy form the backups I made to the newly installed iTunes folders?
Thanks.

All iTunes content including 3rd party apps is stored in an iTunes named folder located in your Music folder.
If you included the iTunes named folder with your computer's backup, with iTunes quit place the iTunes named folder from your computer's backup in the same location - in your Music folder.
You will also need to re-authorize your computer with your iTunes account with iTunes if you haven't already done so.

BF tried to update to ios6 on iphone 4 but crashed half way through saying it needed to plugged into iTunes and then restored so after it was 'restoring' he had an error message come up say to couldn't be restored....what should be do next?

BF tried to update to ios6 on iphone 4 but crashed half way through saying it needed to plugged into iTunes and then restored so after it was 'restoring' he had an error message come up say to couldn't be restored....what should be do next as the phone is in a complete non working condition

Spent hours trying everything suggested and finally this morning hit on a solution. iTunes must be run as an administrator. Even though you are logged into your PC as an administrator, using the iTunes shortcut does not make you an administrator in iTunes. I found this out by using the diagnostics in iTunes and reading through the results report.
I am using Windows 7, so I clicked the start button and right clicked on iTunes and selected "Run as an adimistrator". The first restore attempt got the 4013 error. I then did the DFU thing, hold power and home buttons for 10 seconds, release power and continue holding home for 10 more seconds.
iTunes gave me the restore message and I clicked it. I clicked the restore iPhone button and it started. The drivers loaded a couple of times. I got the apple logo with the progress bar and this time instead of disappearing, it started to fill in.
End result, a successful restore to factory settings and a happy 14 year old.
Hope this helps others.

Tabs not saved after crash of Firefox 10.1. Worked fine until this upgrade

Before upgrading to Firefox 10.1 if Firefox crashed or was closed via task manager, the next time it opened up a session restore screen would pop up and you could restore all the tabs or select the ones you wanted to restore. After the 10.1 upgrade that screen never shows up.

Hi,
You can try to manually restore the previous session after Firefox startup via '''History''' ('''Alt''' + '''S''') > '''Restore Previous Session'''. The option to automatically restore is '''Show my windows and tabs from last time''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Options''' > '''General''' > '''When Firefox starts:'''.

[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Options%20window Options]
If the problem persists, you can try to delete the '''sessionstore.*''' files in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder Firefox Profile Folder]. You can also open the profile folder via Firefox '''Help''' ('''Alt''' + '''H''') > '''Troubleshooting Information''' > '''Open Containing Folder''', and exit Firefox before deleting.

How can I disable the session restore feature after I have closed the broweser window myself?

I don't want to disable ANY other feature at all (e.g. restoring session after a crash), I only want when I close Firefox and restart it to start new on my home page, without any restored tabs whatsoever. I have tried everything on about:config and it won't seem to do the trick.
This is a big privacy concern and I'm really puzzled why Firefox was programmed this way without an easily accessible option to change it.

hello kayjay76, this sounds like a problem caused by some sort of adware on your pc. please go to ''firefox > addons > extensions'' & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes] & [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner].

Firefox resetting profile after crashes.

I had asked this before, and a moderator closed before it was solved so now I am asking it again.
FireFox had crashed a few times now and keeps resting the profile afterword.
I have never told it to reset the profile.
I have had to resort to using a program to backup the profile on a regular basis so I can restore it after these crashes.
I am guessing Flash Player is causing the crashes.
i would prefer not to submit bug reports automatically, as I never see the bugs fixed.
I do not appreciate moderators close things after asking for more information.

I don't know why it was locked, usually someone will explain that. Maybe it was a mis-click??
[https://support.mozilla.org/questions/996482 Prevent Firefox deleting my Firefox user profile?]
To rule out Flash as a potential culprit, could you try one or both of the following:
(1) Set Flash to Click-to-Play ("Ask to Activate").
This will delay Flash from starting on a page until you approve it, which will help distinguish Flash-generated issues from page load and layout issues.
To set "Ask to Activate", open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* <s>orange Firefox</s> <u>"3-bar" menu</u> button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Look for "Shockwave Flash" and change "Always Activate" to "Ask to Activate".
When you visit a site that wants to use the Flash, you should see a notification icon in the address bar and one of the following: a link in a black rectangle in the page or an infobar sliding down between the toolbar area and the page.
(2) Disable the Protected Mode feature of the Flash Player plugin.
The following pages provide different ways to do that:
* Adobe support article under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
* Manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/968190?page=5#answer-509209
* Batch file to automate the manual steps: https://support.mozilla.org/questions/982093#answer-518078
Flash needs to completely unload from memory (restarting Firefox might help) before this would take effect.

Restoring Issues After iOS 7.1 Release.

Hi,
I recently bought an iPhone 5s, just after the ios 7.1 release. It had ios 7.0.1 on it and I wanted to update to 7.0.6, but when I downloaded the firmware and started the restore. After a few seconds it showed up an error.
If I understand well Apple has stopped signing ios 7.0.6 restores or lower. But is there any possible way to update my phone to 7.0.6 without upgrading it to 7.1?
Thank You.

See:
https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6043017?tstart=0
Where the same question was asked and answered.
UPDATE - ... well, almost the same question. I cannot imagine why you would not want to update to iOS 7.1. I don't think there's a way to do what you want without updating.

I just upgraded my iPad from 4.3.3 to the newest - I think 6.1.3. I cannot find my photos and videos. I tried a restore, but after 3 hours, it's timing out. Pardon my ignorance on asking this question; but is there a way to find my photos?

Here are the steps I though I took this morning:
Backup iPad
Connect to iTunes and downlaod newest version of iTunes and then newest iOS
restart Vista Laptop
upgrade to newest iOS
I knew somethign was wrong when it took about 6 hours to upgrade the iPad
at the end it errored with this message error (-50), but the upgrade worked
I was expecting to see all my photos but didn't see them
I have tried a restore to a back up 2 times. The first time took 3 hours and just sort of timed out - it kept saying that there was an hour to go
I tried it again 2 hours ago and same message.
They are very valuable to me and so now I am panicking
Your help is much appreciated

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,
Mario

Deleting files and emptying your recycle been will help you restore." how am i going to erase files if i can't open my ipad. i dont know what to do. Its been 2 days now. please help. thanks.

yes i am sure. This are the exact words... "The iPad "iPad" could not be restored. The disk you are attempting to use is full. (Removing files and emptying the recycle bin will free up additional space". i tried some options, hard reset, redsnow, tinyumbrella but still it's stuck.

All the time I plug my iPod Shuffle to my iTunes it says it needs to be restore and after I restored it and add music it only skips song after song without playing one completely. What should I do?

Firefox 10.0.2 import/merge history (not just bookmarks) from Firefox 3.6.13, 3.6.15, & recovered (after crashes)

In Mac Firefox 10.0.2, is there a way to import/merge Mac Firefox 3.6.13 and 3.6.15 history (not just bookmarks), and history recovered after crashes, and if so, how? Thank you!

You can find the Import menu entry in the Bookmarks Manager (Library)
*Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Import Data from Another Browser
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Import_bookmarks
Import & Backup is the third button on the toolbar in the Library that looks like a star.
You should be able to export the bookmarks via that button.
