RH9 - Can I restore layouts in "Single Source Layouts" pod from .ssl files?

RH 9 (latest)
Windows 7 x64
Due to some corruption somewhere in our main help project that prevented me from generating layouts using the RoboHelp command line (rhcl.exe), I deleted my .xpj file and .cpd file, and then recreated the .xpj project file from the .hhp file. This is the recommended fix to get things back to normal that I did two years ago when I got this same error. (For info, see Command line generation errors in log. How do I fix this?)
However, as expected, all my single source layouts are now missing from the Single Source Layouts pod. Is there a way to recreate the single source layouts from the .ssl files so they appear back in the pod with their previous settings? Like a way to re-import then into the project? I have 36 individual ssls just for printable output alone that I spent creating all day last Friday (1 per chapter), I really do NOT want to manually recreate them.
A related question is, where does RH store the link between xpj and ssl layouts? Because when I checked the xpj inside Notepad++ prior to deleting it, there weren't any references to the individual single source layout files there; I don't understand how deleting an xpj file removes references to the ssls when the .ssl files obviously still exist in the project folder.

I'm not at a Rh machine to check where the link is stored but this should work.
Move the old layouts from the project.
Recreate layouts with the same character perfect names. Leave default settings.
With Rh closed, open them in a text editor. Do the same with the old files
and copy the content across.
Backups everywhere of course.

I've never personally done this, but I'm qute sure you can. After all, this would be one method of migrating from the MacBook to the MacBook Air (with the assistance of Migration Assistant).

How can I restore my itunes on a new computer from an external hard drive without a back up?

How can I restore my itunes on a new computer?
I use an external hard drive to store all my information i.e. music / apps / movies but my current laptop has just blown up so now using a temp laptop.
I am looking to try & restore my itunes & all of its information like my playlists / apps & everything else from the hard drive but it does not have a back up in the programmes to restore from that.
Currently running Windows 7.
All I want to do is have my itunes back without the pain of looking & reloading all my info which will take me an age.
Any hints tips or advice that has worked for you would be greatly appreciated.

Did you store the media library files on the external drive as well?
If so press and hold down shift as you start iTunes, use the choose option, and connect to the iTunes Library.itl file on the external drive.
If not you will need to start a new library and import the content into it. Do you have any devices that might hold ratings and playlists that could be recovered? If so see the second and third entries from the bottom of the table of recovery tools in Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device, and read the rest of it if you have any iOS devices.

Can I restore all my original itunes library configuration from a back up?

Can I restore all my original itunes library & playlists' configuration from a back up?
hi...has anyone out there had this happen/done this?
1. I just got a new PC as my old one finally fried on me.
2. I installed the latest iTunes again on the new PC and
3. I have all my itunes songs and the itunes library file backed up and I restored those files to their original locations (these exactly match the same locations on my new PC).
Problem: my original itunes library shows up fine in itunes, but none of the songs can be found when I try to play any of them - 'the original file could not be found' is the error message that comes up.
I have about 5,000 tracks, with many organized into playlists, and I don't want to have to start from scratch organizing this huge library again. I thought backups and the ability to restore files prevents problems like these.
If anyone has a workaround or fix, I would love to hear about it. Thanks.

Can I restore just a single folder from a backup?

An important folder seems to have disappeared today; I don't know how. I would like to be able to restore only that folder if possible from today's bookmarkbackups folder. I have looked over some other postings about the bookmarks restore process, but they answers don't seem to match my problem. I am using the latest FF browser, 27.0.1.
I backed up all the bookmarks about a week ago in both html and Json formats. I should also note that this folder was the first folder in the bookmarks menu after the individual bookmarks, if that helps diagnose the problem.
Thanks to anyone who can help. The missing folder is a large and valuable one.

Regarding zero-byte backups, some other users have encountered this problem as well. It seems that the JSON backup feature is encountering "something" in the places.sqlite database which is causing it to cancel, but I don't know whether the exact problem has been identified yet.

Can't restore MacBook Pro to factory settings/boot from usb or dvd

So I recently got a MacBook Pro, currently running OS X 10.7.4 Lion. I am well-versed in the world of Windows, however am quite new when it comes to macs (whole reason why I got it).
I'm trying to restore it to its factory settings without owning a restore disc. The HDD only has one partition (no recovery partition).
I have located and downloaded a torrent for an OS X installer, specifically a .dmg image file containing OS X 10.7.
I tried burning that image to a DVD, but when I go to boot from the DVD (to my understanding, this is done by holding "C" during boot) it doesn't work, and just continues to proceed to the logon screen as it normally would.
I have tried converting the image from a .dmg to a .iso (something I am far more familiar with) using one of my Windows machines, and then burning that to a DVD, however, it yields the same result as above.
I have tried using the Disc Utility to format a flash drive (Mac OS Extended (Journaled)) and then using the same Disc Utility to "restore" the image file to the USB drive. When I go to boot from this (holding alt/option at boot) it shows the internal HDD as the only bootable drive.
Is it possible that since I am technically running a newer version of Mac OS X (10.7.4 and using an installer of 10.7) that it will not allow me to do so? I know Apple has made it difficult to downgrade iPhones and the like, and I suppose it wouldn't surprise me a great deal to find out that the same applies to their computers.. But if I am attempting to boot from a different source, and use that to format and repartition my HDD, then I don't see why that would matter...
Any help on the matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, Shootist007, but that's not accurate. There were no disks of any kind included with the MacBook Pro I bought. I am very anal about keeping everything that comes with a computer. I don't misplace or lose them. I've been buying computers since '88, and I am very careful to maintain original items. I searched the original MacBook Pro box several times, and there's nothing in there but the original purchase receipt from the Apple Store and the form fitting black plastic tray and cushion.
I did try wiring the system, and that's when it tried to restore Lion (and wouldn't let me do a restore of anything else).
Are you saying that if I do upgrade to Lion, and then do a system restore, then the buyer will not be able to use Lion?

How can I restore a old backup of playlist / music from iPod v1 and iPod v2?

I got two old iPod v1and iPod v2. They are both working, well used, both of the got maximum HD sold at that time.
I looked at one of my old backup and I got the playlists and music. I remember I spent hours (weeks) converting CD's, manually typing in data and creating playlists. It total I think it was 5000-6000 tracks or more.
Can restore these playlists and upload it to iCloud? I the playlist was created on the first few releases of iTunes. Since then my laptop have changed 3-4 times and I have not reinstalled iTunes. What is the best way of doing this? The old iPod's are still playing.... :-)
I would like to do this to upload some of the music to my new iPod, iPad and

Also very strange is that I don't have the folder "MobileSync" in /Library/Application Support/MobileSync on my computer. I can't find that folder anywhere.
Correct.
You need to go to ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/.
The ~ indicates your User folder not the top level /Library/ folder.
Click on the desktop, then hold Option and go to Finder menu Go and Library will be there (only when holding Option as it is hidden).

How can I restore my Microsoft Word Documents which became Unix Executable Files after my Macbook Pro Crashed?

After my MacBook Pro suddenly crashed, we had Best Buy's Geek Squad attempt to save the files. According to them, they were successful in doing so and put all of the saved files in a folder on my desktop which they labeled "Backup". The problem is, all of the files are in a Unix Executable format. When you double click on any of them, they pull up the terminal and that's it. After researching the issue and trying to grasp what was going on, I learned that you can open these files in Text Edit and sometimes find the file extension (.png .jpeg .amr .qt) that belongs at the end of the filename in order for it to be pulled up. In doing this, I had some success restoring some photos, audio files, and videos. However, no luck at all in restoring any of my Microsoft Word documents or even finding out which Unix Executables are Word documents. I've even tried to add .docx to various files just to see if I would luck out. Nope . Any help would be SO SO greatly appreciated!!!

Just to make sure, your Mac meets Snow Leopard's requirements?
Mac OS X v10.6 Snow Leopard - Technical Specifications
Yes, Lion does require that you have Snow Leopard installed so you have access to the Mac App Store.
And you do need to be running v10.6.8 in order to upgrade to Lion > http://www.apple.com/macosx/how-to-buy/
When you verified the startup disk using Disk Utility, what were the results?
Wouldn't hurt to do that again. From your admin account launch Disk Utility. Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left then select the First Aid tab. Click: Verify Disk (not Verify Disk Permissions).
If the startup disk needs repairing, boot from your install disk to make repairs > Using Disk Utility to verify or repair disks
While you have the DU window open, check Capacity & Available at the bottom of the window. Make sure there is a minimum of 15% free disk space.

Can you restore groups of apps on your iPhone from your back up

I have had to restore my iphone 4 to factor defaults and then restored from a previous date but can not find a way to reinstall all my app and in the groups that I had saved them into previously.

I knew that but there must be a way of reinstall in the apps as groups or into the groupings. It only makes sense

How can I restore the contacts on my iPhone 4s (from iTunes) without 'syncing' my phone?

I just got a new iPhone 4s about a month ago - backed everything up to iTunes before transferring onto my new phone, which worked great. However, my mail was not working correctly (gmail), and after trying to set it up multiple times, found out about the whole issue of gmail not supporting 'push' with the iphone anymore... Got that issue figured out, but part of trying to set up my gmail account found me syncing my contacts with my gmail contacts.
I have not kept gmail contacts up to date for a few years, and when my phone synced with google contacts, it basically wiped out all of my current contacts and replaced with outdated contacts from google. I know that my contacts should all be saved to iTunes, but I'm afraid to sync and have the same thing happen again. I don't want to restore my phone from iTunes if I don't have to, because I don't want to lose other things outside of my contacts that I've updated since the last time I backed up my phone.
Is there a way to restore just my contacts? I've got a lot of contact info/numbers over the years that would be very difficult to replace, and I don't fully understand the 'sync' process... Thanks for any help!

Syncing contacts is bi-directional. If you elect to sync contacts...again, selected on the Info pane in iTunes...whatever contacts you have in whatever supported application on your computer will be merged with what you have on your phone. If whatever application, on your computer, is empty, then all contacts on your phone will be erased. Never sync to an empty application.
Contacts are included in the iPhone backup, but the first thing done when you perform a sync is an iPhone backup. This means that whatever contacts are currently in your iPhone backup will be overwritten with whatever is currently on your phone.
So, if all you want are whatever contacts are currently in your iPhone backup, you need to re-read my initial post.

Powerbook -can't start up in single user mode or from CD-why?

My daughter was gifted a Powerbook (15"). I've upgraded it to 10.5.8. It has enough speed, (1.67 Ghz), 2 gigs RAM- but it is a sticky little machine- it freezes a lot. Froze twice during the upgrade, froze once during login, Froze once while trying to do a software update, froze once while trying to get into the system preferences. It freezes pretty consistently after 15-30 minutes or so, no matter what it's doing -if a program is running or not. I tried downloading AppleJack to run a diagnostic. That requires starting up from single user mode. I tried to do that , but the machine just opens to the login screen. I also tried running TechTool from the CD, and the machine wouldn't start up from CD either. What should I try next?

Try this one for some information.
