Trying to restore a photo that is torn, ripped and missing small areas. help please
I have an older photo of my hubby's mom and all the kids around her but it hasn't been taken very good care of at all and it has rips and tears and some small areas are missing.
What I have been doing is using Photoshop 5.0 and Full Edit. From there I have been blowing the photo up to 616.87% to 821.05% so I have allot of pixel to see what the heck I am trying to do.
Then I have been using the Healing Brush Tool with the brush at 2 pixel and the Hardness at 82% and the Spacing at 20%. 0 Angle with 100% roundness and using the stylus wheel. The mode is Normal and for Source it is on Sampled.
So far I have had wonderful results with the car and his moms hair. For those two things there really isn't much of a color variance. But I am really having trouble with some large tears around faces. With the shadows and such.
I am especially having a problem with is that some of the pixels in the picture on the edge of the rips are shades of a violet and shades of green.
This picture is something that I would like to be able to give him for Father's Day and in a frame. I have been working on this in secret for the last few weeks and have made some headway. yay.
But I really could use some help here. I've been reading just about everything there is on different things that can be done but I hope that it gets somehow easier and more efficient than what I've been doing so far.
Thanks for the help

Yes, I second the recommendation for Katrin Eismann's book. She is just great. It's for Photoshop, but you can do about 90% of the stuff in PSE, too.
EDIT Matt Koslowski has a book on using Elements for restoration, but I can't comment because I've never seen it in person.

Error 1015: This error is typically caused by attempts to downgrade the iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch's software. This can occur when you attempt to restore using an older .ipsw file. Downgrading to a previous version is not supported. To resolve this issue, attempt to restore with the latest iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software available from Apple. This error can also occur when an unauthorized modification of the iOS has occurred and you are now trying to restore to an authorized, default state. -

Herbaltickiing, please help me to understand...I am having the same issue in trying to delete photos off my original ipad. I just bought a new generation ipad and have already synced my pics from my mac desktop.
when you say creat a new folder in the PC, are you referring to a computer that is not an apple product? Can I made a new folder on my iMac desktop to do this?

Need to restore and missing dbf file - help please
hi there,
im in a desperate situation so any advice would be welcome.
im running Oracle 9.2.4.6 on aix. 5.2
2 weeks ago i added a dbf file to one of the tablespaces , as a symbolic link. Im almost certain that this dbf file has not been used as there was still lots of space in the tablespace.
ive had 3 disk crash on me - which means i have had to do a full recovey , and then use the archive logs to roll forward.
but i have now discovered that this new dbf has not been backuped up because its a symbolic link.
so i dont think im going to be able to open the database, or roll forward.
(im still restoring the files so not had a chance to try it yet)
the disk crash means i have lost disk files and the system files.
am i able to recover from here if i need to. ie rebuild indexes and system
any other ideas?
thanks if you can help[oracle@racdb MYLCL]$ ln -s /tmp/ tmp
[oracle@racdb MYLCL]$ ls -ltr

Symbolic link datafile is backedup, it does not matter how the file is created at the OS level as long as oracle can get to it.
Let me remove the tools_tmp.dbf entirely and try opening the db.

I am just trying to restore my photos from my pc to my phone that i have backed up already on my icloud but do not know how to do this on my iphone 6 ios 8.3
If the iPhone is still working and the photos are in the Camera Roll (i.e., taken on the iPhone) then, when you connect the iPhone to your PC, it should be recognized as a Camera and Windows should start AutoPlay.
See this http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/get-pictures-camera-computer#1TC=wind ows-7 -
I changed my LCD last day and now i noticed all my pictures on my phone are gone. I tried to restore the back that I got yesterday but it wont let me because its telling me there is not enough space on my phone!!! That's wierd because I didn't download any app or anything else since my last backup and on the other hand about 3000 pictures are gone, how come there is not enough space left! I also check my usage on my phone and it shows that i have about 7.0 GB pictures!!! BUT my photos is empty! I want my picture back on my phone any solution anyone?

I am trying to restore a phone that the screen does not work on, therefore I can't input my password. How can I bypass this and upload it to itunes?
You could follow the instructions in the support document that you linked from. There is a section regarding the passcode and the inability to use it or enter it. However, you may encounter more issues since you cannot use the screen.

I have the same photo in an album and in camera roll. I am trying to delete the photo from the camera rol and the only option that i get is : delete everywhere? Noooooo i just want to delete it from camera roll!!!!!
The way that I understand that it works, is that the photos are not copied into the new albums, instead it just points to the photos - the number of photos on the iPad in Settings > General > About doesn't increase when you create new album so I assume from that that it isn't copying the photo, just pointing to it. So if you delete the photo from the camera roll you will therefore also be deleting all the pointers to it

I am trying to restore my playlists that disappeared yesterday. I have followed the instrutions on the support page but when I get to step 7, I can't find File>Library>Import Playlists. What am I missing?

Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. Note that in iTunes 11 an "empty" library may show your past purchases with links to stream or download them.
In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
Alternatively, depending on exactly when and why the library went missing, there may be a more recent .tmp file in the main iTunes folder that can be copied & renamed as iTunes Library.itl to restore the library to an earlier state. Look for a recent .tmp file that is similar in size to the .itl files in the Previous iTunes Libraries folder. If it has happened repeatedly you may want the earliest such file generated since the last iTunes upgrade.
If applicable, see iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!
Should you be in the unfortunate position where you are no longer able to access your original library, or a backup of it, then see Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
I've noticed more of these missing library posts of late and a common factor to most since I started asking is AVG Anti-Virus. It seems in some cases it might be at least part of the reason why the library file disappears. Try excluding the iTunes folder from any AV scanning process.

How do you resolve error code 36 when trying to restore an iPad that has been reset to original settings?
MB-
As far as I can tell, Error Code 36 is an "I/O Error". It may mean you have a bad USB cable between the iPad and your computer, or the cable was not plugged in firmly.
See if this helps with your Restore: <iOS: Unable to Update or Restore>.

i am trying to restore my ipod on a different computer and i have forgot my password and now it wont let get into it on the computer to retore it! Need Help Please
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: How to back up
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
