How to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

how to recover hp pre-installed games and office after system restore for HP Mini 210-4127se?

Hi,
You can reinstall them from Recovery Manager by clicking on Start=> All Programs.
If you have performed a complete HP Recovery using F11 then all the software should be there. If you have performed a minimized recovery then you can install applications from recovery manager...If none of these works then you'll need USB recovery..
Here are the links that will guide you through the process:
Using Recovery Manager to Restore Software and Drivers (Windows 7)
Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 7)
Order USB Recovery
Note:
If you have HP Support Assistant installed on the computer(The Blue Question Mark) then open it ==> Complete all pending Updates & Tuneups==> Restart and Check. It may solve your problem

Scratch install vs. system restore for HA system

Hi All,
We are planning for a Mimix High Availability install and would like to know whether our initial install of the HA systems (R/3 in one LPAR and CRM/BW in another LPAR) should be full DR type restore or a new install of R/3, CRM, and BW. Lakeview has recommended a scratch install and we have a vague memory that change the server name on an already installed SAP system can cause problems. What type of install did you perform during your initial setup of the HA systems? Did you load your production database on the HA systems during the initial install or wait until you were ready to start replication?
TIA,
Stan

Hi Stan,
as Mimix "only" replicates the DB, a few libs and the IFS (or even not) and nothing of the rest of the system, I would not go for a full scratch install. I would start with a homogenious systemcopy with special things in it - e.g. my "easy homo copy" and then you need to discuss how you want to start the server with what IP names etc.
Most likely you want to switch host names - at least the logical hostname. So, the SAP profiles need to be adjusted.
But, I don't see any benefit (except additional effort) from a scratch install.
(you should ensure, that the GIDs and UIDs of the users are the same - this makes IFS easier)

System restore for multiple partitions

Hi guys,
This is probably an easy question, and I think I have the answer from reading other threads, but I want to make sure I have the right idea before I start reformatting things!
I want to install linux on a partition of my 500 GB HDD on a T410 currently running windows 7, and I want to create backup disks to:
a) Get a factory image on my newly sized windows partition (400 GB windows / 100 GB linux) in case I need to reformat the windows partition alone; and
b( Restore everything to the factory fresh windows only system, the way it shipped, in case I ever want it as all one windows partition again.
As I understand it (I've never played around with laptop installations before), I need to make a backup partition as soon as I turn on my new laptop, create a recovery DVD from that backup partition, and then I can delete the backup partition. But that will only work for the factory fresh 500 GB windows installation, so, after I partition the drive, I have to create a new recovery partition to create new recovery DVDs, and then delete that recovery partition.
If I'm right on all that, I should end up with two sets of recovery DVDs, no recovery partitions (because I've deleted them after making the DVDs), and I can use the set of DVDs that corresponds to the way I have the drive partitioned when I choose to reformat.
Does all that make sense, or have I missed the boat on any of it?
Thanks for taking the time to ease my fears before I mess with my new laptop's drives!
Solved!

Yes to both questions. The factory media will give you the factory configuration, Q: and all.
You should be able to install to just about any drive.

How do you perform a full system restore for the hp officejet 6500

Basically, after having this printer for 1 year, the wireless printing started to not work correctly. After buying a laptop and trying to configure the printer with it, the printer started to have problems with wireless printing. So how do you perform a FULL factory reset? I already tried hitting #9 while the printer was turning on but it only seemed to partially reset the system. It did not turn it back to the day i bought the printer.

OK, so it turns out it was the 'only show synced content' tick box.
Wow, how embarrassed do I feel now? I never even paid any attention to that tick box all these years.
Interestingly, over the last couple of days I had my ATV at v1.1 again, and happily deleted all my content (except for 1 album which I deliberately left on). A few days went past, and I checked daily - and there was only ever the 1 album.
I then upgraded to ATV v3.0.1 again today and that's when my problems came back - all my content magically reappeared on the Apple TV (or so I thought).
I'm thinking maybe that the 'only show synced content' is a recent 3.0 feature? And if so, maybe that's why I never noticed it before and that's why it was confusing me? Or maybe it's been there all these years (in which case I'll carry on being embarrassed).
Anyway, a huge thanks to everyone who responded.

System restore for Mac?

Does it exist?
How does one operate it?

Also keep in mind that you can only boot Intel Macs from a USB drive.
I don't know if perhaps booting an Intel Mac from a FireWire is just not supported, but I can testify that it's most certainly possible. I'm making this post on my MacBook Pro while booted from the clone of the MBP hard drive on my FireWire drive.
Looking around, I find this: Firmware update for Intel-based Mac does not install with non-GUID partition scheme, which peripherally mentions booting Intel Macs from a FireWire drive:
Option 1: Use an external startup disk
If you have a bootable external disk, such as a FireWire disk, that is configured with the correct partition scheme (GUIDpartitionscheme), start up from it using Startup Disk preferences, then apply the firmware update during start up.
That certainly indicates it's supported, since they're suggesting starting up from an Intel Mac from a FireWire drive.
I haven't come across anything from Apple, other than the above, saying one thing or the other about Intel Macs being bootable from FireWire. Does anyone else have a link - something saying that it is or isn't supported?

Windows "system restore" equivalent for iMac

After some reading, it is my understanding that the most equivalent of a windows "system restore" for the Mac would be via a 3rd party application such as SuperDuper. Am I correct? I believe I understand that "restoring" the system with Time Machine to a specific date/time requires utilizing the install disk, selecting the Time Machine volume and then picking the "snapshot" you want.
I'm a new Mac user after 20 years with PC's. Please forgive my elementary knowledge of MacIntosh.

wamcgeemd,
It is pretty common knowledge that the Windows "registry" is an absolute nightmare, where the installation of even (otherwise) innocuous software can cause serious conflicts that can cripple a Windows installation. Even during updates to Windows itself, a file in the registry might be written improperly or incompletely (for example), and the results could be disastrous. It is for this reason that Windows automatically creates "restore points" before updates. The problem has (historically) been prevalent enough to make this necessary. In short, a Windows user's ability to "roll back" to an earlier state exists simply because it is frequently needed.
This is not the case in OS X, which contains nothing even remotely like the "registry." While there have been (perhaps) a handful of updates to OS X- in all its variations- that have "broken" specific functionalities, almost all of these incidents have been cases where incompatibilities have occurred with the hardware or firmware of third-party peripherals. If the problem originated with the update itself, a fix has always been forthcoming very quickly from Apple. In all other cases, the fix has been new firmware from the device manufacturer. Of course, there have also been a few cases of third-party software being "broken" by a given update to OS X. I should stress here that all of these above occurrences have been very, very few and far between.
By far, the most common problem with updates is that they have the potential to cause disk errors. It is not that the update, itself, causes problems, but that the nature of an OS update is such that it can expose weaknesses in the file system. When the file system fails, a disk error occurs and data is often lost. Since the data being handled at the time of the disk error is all critical system data, a disk error like this will most likely cripple the OS.
Since a disk error of this nature necessitates a complete erasure of the hard drive in order to be properly fixed, what is required is not a "roll back," but a completely new installation on a newly formatted volume.
So, we have two potential cases: 1) Something in one's environment gets "broken" by an update, and 2) One encounters a disk error during an update. It is true that in case #1 above, some ability to "roll back" would be helpful. This functionality does exist with Time Machine, although it may not be as quick or simple as using a Windows "restore point." On the other hand, this type of problem is vanishingly rare (I have never encountered it). In case #2 above, a "roll back" wouldn't work or be desired, even if it existed.
The moral to all this is that restore points and "roll back" make sense for Windows, and Time Machine makes sense for OS X.

I just did two System Restores (and clicked something that asked me about "[something -exe]," and now Firefox won't open at all.

I hope someone can help. My husband did something to update Firefox (or Firefox just automatically updated today, I don't know which), but I didn't like the new toolbar much, so I did a System Restore to get back the old one. That didn't work, so I then did another System Restore for an earlier day, but when I restarted the computer, Firefox wouldn't open at all.
A pop-up asked me something about "allowing 'something-.exe' at start-up," with options like "Remember this action, don't allow, and allow," I think, and I don't remember what I clicked, and that's likely part of the problem, but in any case, I can't get Firefox to start now. I click on the logo/icon and nothing happens.
I tried to undo both System Restores, but the computer would only restore the most recent one, not both.
And I tried, as suggested on the forum elsewhere, to go into "Firefox Safe Mode," but that didn't help either.
Thank you for any help.

That's what happened to me too after I upgraded to firefox 4 and it wouldn't connect to my internet. Now I'm stuck with Internet Explorer with none of my important personal information like my favorites.

Lost all my APPS following a "System Restore" on my Windows 8.1 machine

A couple of days ago I was experiencing problems logging on to ANY / ALL Wi-Fi networks so elected to do a "System Restore" for about 10 days ago. That worked fine and I got my Wi-Fi networks sorted but I lost ALL MY APPS and cannot find a way
to re-install. Tried contacting Microsoft and what a waste of time that was!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Has anyone any idea as to how to retrieve the situation WITHOUT getting too complex or do I need to buy an Apple Computer? With the Old XP system a "System Restore"
NEVER created these sort of problems! PLEASE SOMEONE TRY TO ADVISE. Thanks Andrew

Sorry to ask, may I know how you perform system restore?
as far I know, system restore will restore condition included software or application installation
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
If you think an app or driver that you recently installed caused problems with your PC, you can restore Windows back to an earlier point in time, called a restore point. System Restore doesn’t change your personal files, but it might remove recently
installed apps and drivers.
To restore your PC to an earlier point in time
1. Swipe in from the right edge of the screen, and then tap Search.
(If you're using a mouse, point to the upper-right corner of the screen, move the mouse pointer down, and then click Search.)
2.Enter Control Panel in the search box, and tap or click Control Panel.
3.Enter Recovery in the Control Panel search box, and then tap or click Recovery.
4.Tap or click Open System Restore, and then follow the instructions
So, you need to reinstall your application if 10 days ago you haven't installed it
I don't know your expectation about this

ITunes 10.5 won't open after update and System Restore

I upgraded to iTunes 10.5 days ago on my laptop running Windows Vista 32bit.
Download and install went ok. Tried to open iTunes it just won't load.
I click on the iTunes icon from the start menu or the desktop and only the "circle" signifying "wait" pops up for a few seconds then it goes away.
iTunes.exe shows up in Windows Task Manager for a few seconds, then disappears.
There is no error message or pop-up during any of this.
Quciktime Player and Quicktime both work though.
I had to do a System Restore for my laptop recently because it would not boot up correctly. It kept saying "loading" but never actually load, so I took out the battery and had to system restore it.
Please help and thanks so very much in advance!

iFOUND the Solution!!!
Go to Add/Remove Programs under Control Panel and for every program that is Apple - iTunes - Quicktime related RIGHT click on it and choose "Repair" and repair it. May take some time for each program.
Then, I got an error message saying:
"the file "itunes library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of itunes."
Here, from the Start Menu, search "Apple Software Update" and update every program it says needs updating. I recently this week updated Quicktime to its latest version, but did so anyway. So I updated Quicktime and iTunes...restarted computer...and it worked.
That's how you do it. iTunes 10.5 works fine now. Hope it does equally well for you.

Is there any way i can restore itunes to an earlier time/date, just like system restore? Thanks!

Hi..
Is there any way i can restore itunes to an earlier date/time? I accidentally lost a previous backup and now the file showing up is not the backup i want? Can i restore itunes to an earlier time like system restore on windows? Thanks!

Actually i had my iphone os upgraded so i made a backup prior.. After the upgrade, instead of restoring data back the iphone made a new backup, overwriting my last backup, so now all my data is gone and when i went to appdata, oldest backup made is the one made after the upgrade! So i am looking for an undo of that backup, kind of a system restore for itunes.. Any suggestions? Thanks!

Can't turn System Restore on

My Compaq Presario CQ61 laptop (Windows Vista Home Basic) is working OK but I have discovered it is not creating system restore points. It used to do this, and I have found using System Restore helpful in the past so I would like to turn it on again.
Under System--System Protection, it tells me that System Restore is off and provides a link to turn it on.This opens a System Properties dialog box with the System Protection pane open. The "System Restore..." button is greyed out. Next to the list of available discs, under "Most recent restore point" it says "None". If I highlight a disk to try and turn on system restore for it, the "Create" and "Apply" buttons remain greyed out.
I have tried the windows.microsoft.com site for help but it does not explain the problem of the buttons being greyed out.
I have Administrator privileges on the laptop.
Any ideas gratefully received.
