Unable to Load Windows After System Restore from BIOS freeze

I have a pavilion G6 that froze after a BIOS Update ran. Here's what happened and here is what I did:
Uninstalled HP printer software; upon reboot, BIOS Update appeared and ran.
Upon reboot, Win 7 froze @ Welcome screen.
I was instructed this am on this forum to press F8 and do a system restore, which I did.
This appeared to work until about 30 mins ago when it began freezing again and opening to Safe Mode screen.
Now what??

Hi
Workaround:
There are few steps that has worked for few but not always..
Restart and tap F2. F2 will show an option “BIOS Management” . Select BIOS Management and then select “Roll Over to the previous BIOS”
BIOS Management option will not be available if the system do not have HP_Tools partition installed or if it is deleted.
Fix if BIOS Management is not available
i)                    Press and Hold the Windows Key and B key at the same time when the system is turned off or follow the steps from this link: Recovering the BIOS using key press combination
iii)                 Shutdown the Notebook. Remove the Hard Drive and then turn the computer ON and tap F10 to load BIOS. If it loads BIOS then it should rollback to previous BIOS or it might show a black screen. Just leave the system ON for about 2-3 mins and turn it on with the hard drive and check.
   If none of the above worked then most likely we need to bench the notebook as system will not boot from recovery discs.
Let us know how it goes!

Mozilla apps won't load after System Restore from TM

Alas, a hard disk failure which Apple kindly replaced even though It happened 25 days out of 3-year AppleCare. Thanks!
New hard disk installed, proceeded to do System restore from TimeMachine and everything went perfectly (as far as I can tell) EXCEPT Firefox and Thunderbird. All the other apps are loading and seem to be working as I would expect (I guess I won't know for sure until I've worked for a few days) but Firefox will not load - the icon bounces in the dock for a couple of seconds and then disappears. Out of curiosity, I tired to load Thunderbird (which I seldom use) and not even the icon appears.
I am using OS-X 10.5.7 with Firefox 3.0.11
I have tried deleting the apps and the associated files in Library?Application Support and doing a re-install from a fresh download - same result. I tired restoring the apps from TimeMachine using a restore date one day before the HardDisk failure. Same result. I have used MacTuneUp to repair permission. Same result.
Any ideas why this is happening? I am most surprised that a fresh install didn't help. And it's interesting that two Mozilla apps are affected. I can live without Thunderbird but Firefox is important as there are some websites that still refuse to open with Safari.

OK - that was a good suggestion. Firefox and Thunderbird both work when I log is as a guest. Now what should I be looking for on my main account that is blocking the apps from opening? Thanks for the help.
probably something in their preferences. the most radical thing would be to delete the whole folders /users/usernmae/library/application support/firefox and /users/username/library/thunderbird. or just move those folders to the desktop. then try starting firefox and thunderbird. however, that will wipe all user info in both apps.

IMac won't reboot after system restore from Time Machine

I just installed a wacom intuos pro tablet on my imac running snow leopard. The system clock reset to 1st Jan2000 and system prefenerces were no longer accesible. I performed a system restore from my time machine but now can't reboot. The restore completed succesfully (or so the it told me). When i restarted the imac i got the usual 'bing' followed by grey screen and spinning wheel swiftly followed by a light blue screen with the cursor in the top left hand corner.
There is sat for an hour befoe I switched off and tried again......same result.
The installation disc is still in the optical drive.
Any advice please on how to remidy this?
Thanks

I have/had a similiar problem. What I did was reset the SMC and PRAM. You can also do a safe boot. For the PRAM, I had to do three times, and my computer finally booted up. Afterwards I verified my disk and repaired my permissions. So far so good. I guessing that Spotlight needed to re-index the system.

Downloads folder missing after system restore from Time Machine

I installed a new HDD, installed Leopard, and the did a system restore from Time Machine. Everything seems to work fine except from a big question mark in the dock, where downloads folder should be. Any suggestions pls?

Thank you very much for your quick answers.
Probably the problem originated from excluding the Downloads folder from my backup, although it should have been there in my new installation. The interesting thing was that this folder were nowhere to be found in the Finder, and by trying to download something from Safari, it just wouldn’t.
I did a Repair Permissions from the HDD, not the Leopard DVD, and all came back to normal.
I have to admit, that coming from The Win world, this HDD replacement was the easiest and fastest ever, by far!

Is there a way to system restore from Bios on Windows 8.1?

Hello,
We just bought a Dell Venue 11 running 8.1, after a few hours of use the user forgot the password (or mistyped it when they changed it) and now we can't get back in. I wanted to know if there was a way to rollback the tablet without having access to Control
Panel. Any other thoughts about getting us back into this tablet is appreciated as well.
Thank you.

Hi,
If you've forgotten your Windows password, there are several ways to retrieve or reset it:
•If your PC is on a domain, your system administrator must reset your password.
•If you're using a Microsoft account, you can reset your password online.
•If you're using a local account, use your password hint as a reminder.
If you've tried these suggestions and still can't sign in:
• If you have Windows 8.1, you'll need to reinstall Windows.
• If you have Windows RT 8.1, you'll need to contact your PC manufacturer.

Problem with iTunes after system restore from TimeMachine

Recently I had to do a full restore of my system from TimeMachine.
Now when I attempt to start iTunes I receive the following error messages:
"You do not have enough access privileges for this operation"
and also this one:
"An unknown error occurred (-45054)
. . . and then iTunes closes. Does anybody have any idea how to fix this situation?

This is one of the rare occasions when you should run Repair Permissions (not Repair Disk) in Disk Utility. Ignore the many false warnings that it produces. If there's no change, follow the instructions in this support article.

Safari unable to load page after iPad wakes from sleep

I have my WiFi iPad running 4.2.1. Whenever the iPad goes to sleep, when I wake it to access Safari, Safari cannot load a page or reload a page. It says the page cannot be accessed and times out. I always have to go to settings and turn the wifi off and back on. Is there some way to resolve this issue with iPad's Safari?

Then what do you want from us? We're all users like you. By the way, mine works fine.
LikeSpez: if you read Philly's response to Carol's post you should note that the renew lease solution is a) faster to execute, b) addresses the bug more directly and c) eliminates several unnecessary steps.
We are all seeing the same issue on a variety of routers with the common denominator being the iPad on 4.2.1. My 3GS iPhone running on 4.1 has never needed a renew lease while employing the exact same hnetworks that the iPad is using.
We need an app to do renew lease. We could just tap it instead of wading through the setup screens.

hi Jain,
you may need to check the transfer structures,
right click infosource and 'change', click 'comm.structure'/expand,
click 'transfer', move the 0BASE_UOM from left to right side,
or if you wont use the comm structure anymore, you can right click infosource and 'delete comm structure'
hope this helps.

System Restore from TM with Windows on Bootcamp

I have a question about using TM to do a system restore. I have a MBP Mid 2010 running OS X 10.9 with 8GB RAM. I have a 500GB HD with 260GB free space. Boot camp partition is 35GB with 17GB free. I have Windows XP installed on a Boot Camp Partition. I use Windows to run one program for work about once a week so I must keep it. I have current TM backups. I have never done a system restore on this system.
In the past week my system has slowed down to a crawl. Activity monitor shows I am using 7.99 GB of RAM. After boot it is using 5GB but within minutes it is at the 8GB. I cannot seem to find the culprit that is slowing my system down. So I am wondering if doing a System Restore will fix the problem.
Questions...
Will a system restore from TM fix the issue or will it restore the problem?
Can I restore just the Mac partition w/o affecting the Boot Camp partition? (I no longer have the Windows CD
If I restore from TM can I choose to not restore certain Apps that I no longer use or should I just drag those to the trash?
If restore is an option, should I erase the MAC partition before doing the restore? Will this leave the boot camp partition in tact?
Should I erase the entire HD, Restore from TM, Make a Boot Camp partiton, purchase a new Windows CD and install?
Any help and direction you can provide is greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
Dale

Wow, I just went to check exactly when my last back-up was and go ahead with a new one, and I see that in the drop down TM menu it has grayed out "Time Machine Not Configured," which I guess is no surprise since my whole machine was messed up and I had to do the A&I Monday night (not saving user settings). Not sure what this means, but when it comes time to do the disk erase/system restore, I will need to have some communication there. Hmmm. No problem with my MBP accessing the external. Not sure if this constitutes a new problem...

After system restore i reinstalled firefox, how to get back bookmarks etc with old firefox data?

After system restore the only thing i have is old firefox data on desktop if all bookmarks, passwords are recovered it will be great help.
P.S
i reinstall firefox from drive other than c ,that was in downloaded form.
Thanks

The "Old Firefox Data" folder on the desktop has been created as the consequence of resetting Firefox.
Doing a Session Restore may have reverted the profiles.ini file to a previous version that hasn't registered the new profile folder that a reset had created, so you may need to check for this.
* C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\<profile>\
The "Application Data" folder in XP/Win2K and the "AppData" folder in Windows Vista and Windows 7 and later versions are hidden folders.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
If you have a profile folder that is more recent than the "Old Firefox Data" on the desktop then you can use edit the profiles.ini file and change the path of the currently default profile to the name of the profile folder as you find in Document and Settings.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Recovering_a_missing_profile
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
It is always best to be cautious with using System Restore as this can cause some file to be replaced with older copies, i.e. your Firefox installation and profile folder can get inconsistent and you may have to reinstall Firefox as well.

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

Hi!
We would like to hold the account balance data from EMPTOR to SAP and have the following error:

We use SAP ERP 2005 on Windows 64 Bit.
Can some one help with the problem?
Thank you very much!

You can download the latest avaiable kernel or just the librrfc component from http://service.sap.com/swdc. They maybe an issue with this DLL. Just download the latest one and copy into \usr\sap\<SID>\SYS\exe\run directory. Be sure to save the previous DLL.
Thanks
