Clive:
Can you give us a step by step description of what you did in this system restore, why you did it, etc. That will give us a better understanding of your situation so we can more precisely address your problem.

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.

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.

Please help me- system restore question- lost file

If someone could help me with this because that would be great. i I was writing my midterm paper on microsoft word and i accedently saved new work over my old without realizing it. So now I I lost my original copy. I know when I had windows I could do a system restore and some of my files would come back. Is there anyway to do this on my mac? I feel sick over this because I have spent countless hours on this paper. Please help

Are you saying that you are not using Time Machine? Or are you asking how to get back the older file using TM?

I have Firefox 17.0.1, by doing a system restore, I lost all my major default search engines, google, yahoo, bing, etc.; can't get them back

Firefox was working fine until I did a system restore to get rid of a DLL initialization failed error; it went back 20 days; an older version of firefox was there and it wouldn't update, then I noticed all my major search engines and defaults were gone, including google, yahoo, bing, etc. Some of the minor search engines were there. I couldn't even add them manually.
I tried using system restore again, going back like yesterday; it doesn't work. The files or something is wrong. How can I fix this to get my major search engines back, or being able to add them. In manage search engines there is a restore default box exists but it doesn't work.
I have windows xp professional. Please help, this is driving me crazy. I also tried typing a command in the run in the start menue to go into a safe mode and click on restore defaults. It also didn't work, no safe mode.

Clarification:
I believe now you potentially lose all extensions, plug-ins when you use the new reset function, but you will let me know.
If that is the case, your find corrupt file method maybe better. However, I reviewed the two help articles and there appear to be more files than just the delete search.json file and a possible search.sqlite file in the Firefox Profile Folder. I am confused. Then I have to find the folders. I think help articles mentioned how to find the profile containing the files, but not sure.

Tried Toshiba's system restore, now lost windows7

Greetings Toshiba's forum members, I own a satellite L755D-S5218 laptop. I was having some issues with it about a year ago and set it aside until tonight when I tried to fix it myself. I tried the power on and hold 0 recommendation from Toshiba's support suggestion to try and restore it to out of box condition. Everything was going good in the recovery process until I let go of the 0 key and the computer shut down in the wiping process. Now the laptop is giving me a BOOTMGR is missing and hold control alt del to reboot screen. The laptop will no longer stay powered on unless the 0 key is being held down or pressed in repeatedly. I do not have a recovery disc of windows and can't keep the laptop powered on unless the 0key is held. I'm curious to as why the laptop won't stay on and shut down in the middle of the restoring suggestion that seemed to cause my OS to be deleted. If anyone has had the same issue or some one could help me out or shine some light on the subject matter it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance, Ryan.

Here's an update. Tried starting it for probably way too many times by now and I'm able to go through the power +0 restore prompt once again but the laptop keeps shutting off if the 0key isn't being held, also the computer screen will not light up unless I'm trying the 0key restore if that might help narrow it down for anyone reading this.

1.Backup to External drive 2. CoverArt lost after Windows system restore

I recently spent many hours searching for and applying cover art for my music which was mostly ripped before cover art was readily available.
Because of this investment, I want to be sure my library is fully backed up. I want to use space on an external drive, rather than DVD's.
I noticed as I added art, iTunes started acting sluggish. I thought it might be because of the new version or a recent Windows Vista update. So I decided to run system restore. I was appalled to discover that restore wiped out the art I had added. So I reversed the restore and the cover art returned. It became clear to me that the art must be stored in some other way than in the actual music file. I've searched the forum and found others who had problems with system restore, but no explanation of exactly what I should do if I want to proceed with a system restore. I use system restore several times a year and I have never lost anything in iTunes before I started adding cover art. I also never had a problem with sluggishness til I added a bunch of cover art.
My library is large at 3000 items.
Is there a way to compact or optimize the database to improve responsiveness?
Is there a way to backup to an external drive? Is it just a file copy and export library file?
If I export the library as an xml file before I do a system restore, can I then replace it after the restore and protect my cover art.

To be completely sure what you're doing please take a look at your iTunes Folder and see what Vista stores inside it. To find it, go to Start>Computer>Hard Disk C>Users>Your Name>Music>iTunes>.......
Please note there is an artwork folder PLUS a music folder!
My guess is that your system restore point pre-dated the time you added artwork to your iTunes files. (Celebrate that system restore still works for you--I have not been able to successfully restore for over a year now--Norton Internet Security causes system restore failures for many Windows users! I've tried to do this using Windows XP and Vista--and I can never successfully restore anymore.)
To fully backup your library, just copy the entire iTunes folder to another source--second hard drive, USB drive, or burn it to a CD or DVD, etc.
If you're experiencing "sluggishness" it may be due to the amount of RAM on your system. iTunes needs a great deal of RAM to run smoothly. You can choose to: increase the RAM on your system, OR, turn off cover flow/album view and see if things run more smoothly.

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

Lost purchased iTunes after computer system restore

How can I retreive purchsed iTunes that I lost after I had my computer system restored? I re-loaded the iPod + iTunes disc and non of my songs seem available to me.

That is going to depend on what you mean by "restore". If you formatted your hard drive and did not have a backup then the music files are gone and you will have to re purchase them all. Same thing if you
If you still have your music files all you need to do is add them to iTunes. Go to File > Add Folder to Lib... and point to where the files are.
If you believe you still have the music files but do not know where they are try doing a search for *.m4p, or *.mpb, or *.mp3. If the files are still on your hard drive then that should find them.

I lost my iphoto application how i can restore it? i am not having system restore disk. how i can get my photos back?

i lost my iphoto application how i can restore it? i am not having system restore disk. how i can get my photos back?

If the iPhoto application is no longer on your hard drive (do a search to be sure it didn't just get moved to an unexpected place), there's no way to get it back without either backups or a copy of iPhoto. Your original disks that shipped with the machine would have iPhoto. If you have lost those disks and don't have backups, you'll simply have to buy a copy of iLife. Or call Apple with your machine's serial number in-hand and request replacement disks, which they will send you for a small fee.

HT1338 I have just installed some updates & appear to have lost some files Can I uninstall the updates or do a system restore I am using Maverick

Lost bookmarks and frequently visited tabs after doing a system restore. Easy help? Not a computer whiz.

Last night I tried to download a file converter from IQmango. I was nervous because it was taking so long, so I discontinued it. Not soon enough. AVG toolbar captured my computer and so did a IQmango, which would not let me access my Firefox homepage. Instead of the little fox, I got this green IQmango icon. I did a system restore in frustration of not being able to rid my computer of these hijackers, and in the process, lost my bookmarks and my tabs of recently visited places. Can someone speak to me in plain English and tell me how to get them back. If I can't, it is okay. Just tell me I can't. I tried updating Firefox browser before the restore, and so maybe that is what did it. I've never had this happen before. I have Windows Vista. Windows 6.1 OS, if that helps. If you can give me a 1. you click this; 2. you click that, etc. I would appreciate it. This all started because Windows DVD maker doesn't take an MP3 file!!! Helloooooo Windows!

(1) Bookmarks
If you go to the bookmark restore menu, are any recent dates listed? You can check that using the steps in this article: [[Restore bookmarks from backup or move them to another computer]].
(2) Frequently visited tabs
(A) Do you mean the thumbnails on your "new tab" page? These will be repopulated by your history. But if you had pinned sites here, you might not be able to recover those.
(B) Do you mean tabs that you kept open from day to day by restoring your previous session where you left off? That data is fragile and might not be recoverable.
Step 1 would be to salvage your sessionstore files and make backup copies before exiting Firefox or making any other changes.
Open your active Firefox profile folder (personal settings folder) using
Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
Copy all files that start with sessionstore to a safe location such as your documents folder.
Does the sessionstore.bak file look as though it has a timestamp of your last good session, or something later or much earlier?

Lost system restore disc (the grey one)

I have, I have lost my system restore disk (the grey one) for my macbook and now it is stuck at the loading screen (after apple logo comes out, it never loads) Is there any way of restoring my system?

It used to be that one could get the original system disks for your model replaced, and that may still be the case, but recent developments with Lion and Mountain Lion, have changed the business model, where the OS is no longer a premium priced component from Apple.
Consequently, you may as well buy a retail 10.6 DVD to replace your lost original. It will be about the same price.
Telephone your local Apple store to order one, as they are no longer available online. Once reinstalled from the DVD you can update to the last update 10.6.8.
This is the easiest way to restore your system without an existing backup on hand.

DID SYSTEM RESTORE, LOST ITUNES WONT RE-INSTALL

Right, this one is bugging me.
ive just got an ipod nano for my birthday (november) and have installed all my songs onto it.
but then after a few weeks of having itunes my pc decided it didnt like its sound device, so the sound on my pc completley vanished, so we tried re-installing all the drivers, no avail.
so, (this is on windows xp) i did a system restore to an earlier restore point (before itunes was installed!)
and then did another one, before that date too!
now, i dont have sound, i dont have itunes, i dont have quicktime.
and whenever i try install any of these i get this error message
[IMG]http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/vibrating_cake/ipodprob.jpg[/IMG]
http://i5.photobucket.com/albums/y163/vibrating_cake/ipodprob.jpg
same for quicktime, just with quicktime in the name rather than itunes.
this is incredibly annoying as i cant even watch dvd's on my desktop anymore because something is blocking my sound device
so what can i do?????????
(to summarise)
i have windows xp
i did two system restores BEFORE i installed ITUNES
i cant re-install ITUNES because i get an error ITUNES.MSI is on a network device which is unavailable.
i dont want to loose all my songs and albums because theres over 1000songs in there.
and itunes will not open or install!
oh... and i have tried backup on the system restore function on windows xp, wont backup BOTH system restores!

If you are not getting sound, go to your control panel and open: Sounds and Audio Devices Properties>>Audio tab and check that your Sound playback device is set to your sound card.
For reinstalling iTunes, after that mess I suggest you do a full removal of iTunes and related programs with Installer cleanup of any programs that do not uninstall, then a reinstall.
Here is the method, follow it carefully and don't leave anything out.
Download a fresh copy of iTunes and the stand alone version of Quicktime (the one without iTunes)
http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install Microsoft Installer cleanup utility, there are instructions on the page as well as the download. Note that what you download is the installer not the program – you have to run it to install the program.
To run the program – All Programs>>Windows Install Cleanup
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/290301/
Now use the following method to remove iTunes and its components:
XP
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1925
Vista
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1923
*If you hit a problem with one of the uninstalls don't worry*, carry on with the deleting of files and folders as directed in the method.
When you get to deleting Quicktime files in the system32 folder as advised in the method, you can delete any file or folder with Quicktime in the name.
Restart your PC.
Run the Microsoft Installer Cleanup Utility. (Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up)
Remove any references you find to the programs you removed - strictly speaking you only need to worry about those programs where the uninstall failed.
If you don’t see an entry for one of the programs that did not uninstall, look out for blank entries or numeric entries that look like version numbers e.g. 7.x for Quicktime or 1.x for Bonjour.
restart your PC
Install the stand alone Quicktime and check that it works.
If it does, install iTunes.
