System restore and no more music
Arlight, so last night I had to erase my computer completely. Now I'm in the process of reinstalling some necessary programs, such as iTunes. I have all of my music on my ipod already, it's just not in my library. I read the earlier question whose answer was "drag and drop" but i can't drag and drop from my open ipod folder in itunes to my library folder.
any help available? it'd be appreciated thank you so much.
Did you set up your I-Tunes to update your IPod automatically or manually?
If it's automatic, as soon as you connect the Ipod to I-Tunes, the songs on your I-Pod will start to be erased. If it's manual, then you can skip the next paragraph.
As soon as you see the Ipod icon in the left side of the screen (source column), right click on that icon. Select IPOD OPTIONS and on the I-Pod tab select the MANUALLY MANAGE SONGS AND PLAYLISTS. Once you see that has been selected, you are safe from your empty I-Tunes overwritting the songs on your Pod.
Now find the drive that represents your I-pod, chose the IPOD CONTROL FOLDER and there you will find your songs for dragging and dropping to the I-Pod. If you don't see that file (it's usually hidden), you can go to TOOLS/FOLDER OPTIONS/VIEW and select SHOW HIDDEN FILES.
Savings the songs to the Itunes will take a while. You will have to manually update again to synch the "new" songs in I-Tunes to your I-Pod.

I have uploaded an old itunes library by mistake - any way that I can go back to my previous library. Unable to do a system restore and I don't know where to find an up to date music/playlist file. I was originally trying to recover a playlist that vanished after I had updated one of the ipads, did an online search, followed the instructions only to discover that I had loaded an itunes library from 2 years ago. Stupidly I thought that it had updated itself and didn't realise I had to do it. Any he

The difference between system restore and last good known configuration
hi,
what is the difference between system restore and last good known configuration.
in which situation you use system restore ,and in which situation you use last good known configuration.
very short answer wil be enough.
thanks
johan
h.davidLast Known Good Configuration deals only with Starting Windows eg. a bad registry or incorrect driver is preventing Windows to start.It recovers the registry settings of HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet
While System Restore uses restore points to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time without affecting personal files. Restore points are created automatically every week, and just before significant system events, such as the installation
of a program or device driver. You can also create a restore point manually.You can undone system restore but there is no such option in Last Known Good Configuration.
Last Known Good Configuration is disabled in Windows 8 or,Windows 8.1 by default.
Try using Last Known Good Configuration if you can't start Windows, but it started correctly the last time you turned on the computer.
Try using System Restore to return the system to an earlier point in time when things worked correctly.

I accidently deleted QuickTime from my computer. Then I did a system restore and retrieved the program. Now Itunes can't find QuickTime and will not open.Is there a eazy fix for this without using my Ipod? Ihave 6K songs in Itunes that I can't get to.
Thank You
T-BILLHmmm. There's a couple of things that might be going on with that one.
Let's try an uninstall and reinstall of QuickTime first.
If you're using XP, head into your Add or Remove Programs control panel. Select "QuickTime", click "Change" and then click "Remove".
If you're using & or Vista, head into your Uninstall a program control panel, select QuickTime, and then click "Uninstall".
You can get QuickTime back either via Apple Software Update (in your Start menu go "All Programs > Apple Software Update" ... QuickTime should appear in the "New Programs" section), or by downloading a QuickTimeInstaller.exe from the following location:

Does your iTunes launch properly now? -
This began when business increased in January and our print jobs got big (printing invoices off the internet). It can print any small job no problem but if it's over 80 or so pages, it will stop and show a spooling error. I have done system restores and uninstalled firefox and then Internet Explorer will print the big jobs UNTIL I REINSTALL FIREFOX. Then the problem resurfaces whether using firefox or IE!!! Why?! I don't care why - how do I fix it? All 13 other computers use firefox and that is how my staff is trained. I hate IE.

Check and tell if its working. -
all my programs are opening in adobe even the system restore and the regisrty -
how do I reset all programs to their originall default programs.
Please help.
PS I have also tried starting in save mode and still have the same problem.Hi,
As
BurrWalnut mentioned, first please run a virus scan to eliminate virus infection (if AV program is not opened in adobe)
The files association could be corrupted in your situation, apart from the solution posted in the first reply, I also suggest you check Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs\Set your Default Programs or Associate a file type or protocol
with a progra,, manually check the association and check if it can do some help.
Add: another way to open restore point is launching it in recovery console, please refer to this guide

I updated my ipod touch to 5.1.1 and did a system restore. All of my purchased music from itunes went back on along with photos and apps but now it won't let me sync music that I downloaded. All of my music that was imported from cd's synced but not my downloaded music from internet. They went into my itunes library but they are a light gray and have a little sync symbol next to them. I've tried dragging them into different folders but nothing is working. I read that others were having problems with this update but didn't get any answers.
After you have updated your device to version 5.1.1, have you tried resyncing everything from your iTunes yet?

Data recovery after system restore and corrupt user account.
A few months ago I was in the middle of a school assignment and my HP laptop started acting strange. I would try to move an image and a copy of it would remain in its place. I couldn't delete the picture either, but I could "cut" the image. Well,
I ended up restarting the computer and when I logged on it logged me into a temporary account because my account failed to log on. Not knowing exactly what was going on or what to do we ended up doing a system restore like a dummy and restarted the computer.
Well, when I logged back in everything was gone, all my school stuff was gone. What do I do can I get these back without having to pay a lot of money to do so? I am a single mother of two and there is no way I can afford anything.I'm assuming that, since this post is 2 years old, rachbutterfly81 has already moved on with her life. But, since this is the second time I've run into this problem, and this is the first time I've found a solution that worked, I thought I would add my two
cents. Of course I do agree that the original response was a little heavy for a mother of two, but it did work for me (with some slight variation that I will get to).
I definitely disagree with Mr. Malotte's statement that all her files were deleted by the system restore. She was obviously logged in under a temporary account, and so all her original files were fine and stored under the same location they always were.
There was no need for her to purchase additional software to "recover" her files when they were all there under her original account name. All she would have had to do to find her files (assuming she was running Windows Vista or 7) was to open her "C:" drive
and navigate to the "C:\Users\" directory and look for the folder with her account name.
Anyway, the first solution worked for me, BUT there is absolutely no reason to delete the original account folder as Magon suggests in step 3!
Simply rename it. Once you finish step 5 and delete the original registry key (I recommend backing it up by right clicking on the key and selecting export), there is no reason to reboot your machine. There are some additional steps to make
life a little easier though. I've added them to a modified version of the original:
1. If you know you have another administrative account you can use, go ahead and restart your PC to release the locks on your profile. If you don't have another account to use, you can create one by going to "Add or remove user accounts" in the control panel.
Select "Create a new account," name it whatever you want, check the Administrator box, and click "Create Account" (you may want to consider adding a password to this account as well). Now you can restart.
2. Log on with another administrative account
3. Rename your original profile to something different. For the sake of simplicity, we'll pretend it was called "myaccount." So, you would rename "C:\Users\myaccount" to "C:\Users\myaccount.original." It really doesn't matter what you name it, so long as it
is different than it was and you can still find it again.
4. Delete C:\Users\TEMP
5. Delete the registry key matching your SID from
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList". Check the value "ProfileImagePath" to make sure you pick your own profile.
6. Log off and then log into your original account. Everything will still look messed up, like before, but it will not warn you that you are logged in under a temporary account.
7.While logged in, navigate to your user directory (not C:\Users\myaccount.original, but the current one you are logged in under, C:\Users\myaccount) and copy any files you see that say "ntuser" in them into your original profile directory (C:\Users\myaccount.original).
Most likely, you won't be able to see any, so you will need show hidden files. Hit
Alt on your keyboard, and you should see the menu bar appear. Select "Tools" and then "Folder Options". Select the "View" tab, and under "Hidden files and folders" check the option to "Show hidden files, folders, and drives." While you are
at it, uncheck the box next to "Hide protected operating system files."
8.Once you've copied the files over, go ahead and log out. You will need to log into your other administrative account once more.
9.Rename the new account (or delete it if you want), and rename your original account back to what it was (so "C\Users\myaccount.original" will be renamed to "C:\Users\myaccount").
10. Log out and now log in using your original account. Some things may not work as they originally did (for instance, I had to log into dropbox again and go through the setup process), but most things will. Most importantly, all your files should still
be there. -
I wasn't pleased with the auto-update to 29. So I figured I'd roll back to 28 until I had more time to look into the various quirks and whatnot of the new update. Well, in my haste, I didn't really research the best way of doing this and opted for a system restore.
Now my browser install is completely effed. It won't launch at all, and when I attempt to uninstall (via the app or by using the control panel) it does absolutely nothing. Is there (simply) some new file that is causing this problem (and can be removed)? Or is the entire install wrecked? Since uninstalling doesn't seem to be working, will I need to re-install over the top of it? Will I have to go in and manually pull files/folders in order to re-install?
What are my options?I actually gave you the wrong instructions:
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#*'''Mac:''' Delete Firefox from the Applications folder.
#*'''Linux:''' If you installed Firefox with the distro-based package manager, you should use the same way to uninstall it - see [[Installing Firefox on Linux]]. If you downloaded and installed the binary package from the [http://www.mozilla.org/firefox#desktop Firefox download page], simply remove the folder ''firefox'' in your home directory.
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
<b>WARNING:</b> Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <u>These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up to an external device!</u> -
I had to do a system restore and lost all my bookmarks. How do I get them back?
I did not know that if I did a system restore that I would loose all my bookmarks.
It is possible that the system restore restored an older copy of the profiles.ini file that doesn't have your current Firefox profile folder.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
You can check if there are more profile folders and if that is the case then you can either recover data from that profile or use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and click the "Choose Folder" button and browse to that lost profile folder to re-register this lost profile. Firefox will recognize that profile and you should have all data back.

System Restore and Search/Start Menu
Hi,
On 10061, after an update from 10049, which went fine. I did something to Network settings so did a System Restore to the point immediately after the update to 61. This ran successfully, despite showing no info on the progress, just
the cursor arrow.
However, it has completely killed the Search option and the Start Menu. I understand that the Start Menu has a bug and only worked for a few items, but Run as Admin did work and so did the recommended workaround by using the Search option. Now
nothing works. It was the access point to Feedback and the Insider tiles too, which have also gone.
Is there way the reinstate Search and maybe the Start too without a reinstall?
ThanksThat's an interesting point and I certainly did. W10 is installed on an SSD on a partition of 54Gb , and had 25Gb free initially.
After restore I am now down to 12Gb and I had moved 8gb of Image Recovery Drivers out already and I have now reset the restore point reducing by a further 3GB. So the overall impact of restore is about 25Gb, which is more than the initial clean
install!
I can't find it specifically but using TreeSize, I can see where is being used now. The System32 folder is also all Drivers @ 8.5GB of the 11.7GB.
urt
I may have to do a clean install again, but it's a pain to reinstall 40 or so app/programs.
Hope this helps. -

Itunes will not stay close ever since I updated to 10.5.3 version. I try to close program and it pops right back up! The only way to close is open tack manager and stop the itunes.exe and the itunes.help then it will stay close. I did a system restore back to the earlier version of itunes but problem presisted. I finally did the task manager again and downloaded the update to 10.5.3 and this seemed to resolve the problem for awhile but now it is back! Is anybody else experiencing this problem? and where you able to correct it? I'm running Windows 7 64 bit have never had a problem with anything till now. I ran scans of my machine no viruses.
Hi,
i have exactely the same problem.
After the update to v10.5.3 iTunes isn't shutting down anymore. I have this error on various Windows versions (XP SP3, Win7 x86, Win7 x64.
On my private Notebook v10.5.2.11 still works! I won't update iTunes there - not even for a test .
