Unable to restore Win 8.1 after trying Win10

Hi everyone,
I have a Tecra Z50 from Toshiba delivered with 2 Win 8.1 CDs.
Can someone help with the following problem: I had Win 8.1 OEM delivered with laptop. After the release of Win10 I decided to try it and installed it on the laptop. (Quite at ease cause I had acronis true image installed with regular backups running). Now
- after the upgrade the laptop became useless. Internet explorer was restarting non stop, applications were crashing. Decided to restore. First of all - the bootable ISO that I had doesn't boot at all. Second - when I managed to enter the acronis pre-boot
service (pressing F11) and restored all partitions except the MBR (cause I use UEFI GPT), after reboot the laptop displays a blue screen.
Then I try to recover completely using the Win 8.1 OEM CDs provided with the laptop. During the load however it displays a message: " \windows\system32\boot\winload.efi is missing or corrupted". Then I downloaded a clean installation from Microsoft.
Installed clean 8.1, remade the partitions and after the successful install then tried to boot again from the OEM CDs and repair the install (don't want to pay a new license if I already got one). The result is exactly the same , same mistake for
the missing winload.efi file.
Can someone help me - how can I install the OEM windows 8.1? Thank you

You need to go to the computer maker and get a copy of the OEM for your system. YOu cannot download a non OEM and repair "it" with the OEM CD'S. The cd's are probably for repair not install. Does your system have a restore partition?

I am not able to restore my iphone 4 after trying to install the new softwear. I tried every single possible way. What can I do?

There are two ways that a backup can become encrypted:
You chose to encrypt it, then forgot the password.
If you have company-provided MS Exchange access your IT department has the option of requiring your backup to be encrypted. The first time you backed up or synced after installing MS Exchange you were prompted for a password. That is the password you need.
If you don't have the password any longer there is no way to restore the backup.

Unable to restore from Time Machine after an erase and reinstall - MacbookPro cannot access my old Time Machine backup volume. Desperate for help please?

My MacbookPro would not move past the Apple logo and spinning wheel for a number of hours. After trying the numerous suggestions to solve the issue I eventually opted to erase and reinstall feeling confident my Time Machine backups would come to the rescue. After a successful erase and reinstall I tried to restore all my data from my TIme Capsule using Command-R during start up and by using the Migration Assistant. Neither worked and I have received messages to the effect that the backup volumes on my Time Capsule cannot be access because I have entered a wrong password or because the backup volume is damaged.
When I open my Time Capsule in Finder and click on my sparsebundle I get an eror message saying that the disk image could not be opened and that the resource is temporarily unavailable.
Desperate for some help and comfort that many years of personal data have not been lost.
Thank you.

Unable to restore backed up files after recovery

I had to do a system recovery, and in the process backed up my files. After recovery, I updated Microsoft and HP files, installed Norton 360, Office 2007, Outlook, and Nikon photo software. I then tried to restore my backed up files. Every time a User Account Control box pops ups and stating an unidentified program wants to access my computer. I press allow, User account Control box goes away but nothing else happens. Help!

Hey asjhawk,
If you go into the advance backup and restore function are the database on your device and on your backup the same size?
Also you can try this.
Open the contact list.
Press the Menu key, then click Filter.
Clear the check box beside the category.
Let us know how you make out.

IPad Air 32GB Wifi model, won't turn on, recover, restore, with error 4005 after trying to use facetime, switched off. :( HELP!

bought my mom a new iPad Air 32GB WiFi model via eBay and got it yesterday. It worked all fine and I even updated it to the latest iOS version. It worked all fine for the next few hours until I tried to have a facetime call using my iPad Air. Somehow within few seconds after the call being initialized, my moms iPad got switched off. I tried almost all the solutions I found via Apple community, google and other sites. None of them worked. ( Restore, Recovery, DFU Mode, Pressing Home and ON/OFF switch etc ) Somehow I managed to connect the iPad to itunes and when i press the restore button, I get error 4005 after 5 - 10 mins appearing 'waiting for iPad' message. I am in Sri Lanka and I have no Apple Stores here, or authorized service providers. since this isn't a fault of the ebay seller, cannot return it too. Please help me!

Hi Tom,
Thank you very much for your time and trying to help me on this issue. I really appreciate it.
I went through those steps more than few time since yesterday ( saw you had posted this solution on a similar issue by another user )
still no luck. Now I cannot exit from DFU mode, or either restore it due to 4005 error. ( since its a new iPad, i only had few apps installed. so not going to loose much data as well ). I also try to exit DFU mode by using few third party apps such as Wondershare Dr.Fone, Phone Rescue, ReiBoot, RecBoot. Only wondershare Dr.Fone app showed me a screen with a message saying the iOS device is 'not in normale mode, press home + off/on button to switch to normal mode, which never worked either.
Really appreciate your help but I am open for more solutions other than Restore, Recovery Mode, DFU mode or any method to overcome error 4005. I would also like to know are there any softwares to diagnose the iPad Air to detect whats wrong with it. so that I can be sure if it is a hardware failure or firmware issue.
Thanks in advance,
Nimasha

I am unable to restore my previous session after an update to the latest Firefox version.

I was alerted of my available update so I let the update run, came back to the Firefox home page and saw the "Restore previous session" button. I clicked on it and it started to download my update all over again. I tried this again as I thought maybe I had hit a wrong button but it continued to keep re-loading Firefox. I went under history to attempt to restore previous session from there but the option is not available. I had a lot of tabs saved, is there anyway I can restore and get them back?

Restore Previous Session should be an option available under the History options:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Firefox%20does%20not%20ask%20to%20save%20tabs%20and%20windows%20on%20exit?s=restore+switch&r=0&e=es&as=s
If that only restores your last (update) session, you might be out of luck.
Since I'm constantly browsing a PLETHORA of tabs, and don't like to re-bookmark all of them, AND still have them persist a FF restart, I use Session Manager:
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/session-manager/
It also has a "backup" feature, which backs up your current session every "x" minutes.
Hope this helps/prevents future losses.

Unable to restore iPhone 4 (GSM) after IOS 5 update attampt

Hey,
I downloaded iTunes 10.5 and then tried to update iPhone 4 (gsm) to IOS 5.
the update had failed for no clear reason and from that point on I’m trying to restore it.
for the past 20 attempts (several on my laptop and the rest on a PC), I get the same error massage:
“The iPhone “iPhone” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (-1).”
I have not jailbroken the iPhone, i only have dozen or so apps, synced it every other day.
b.t.w
i tried the DUF mode before connecting it to the pc.
also, i tried downgrading back and restoring with the following ipsw packages: IOS 4.3.2, 4.3.4, 4.3.5 and 5.
different error code appears with each ipsw.
in the last attampt it got through the whole progress bar (so it might now be a problem with the firmware), but then it err and gave me the same massage.
what shell I do now? plz help me.

I managed to upgrade to ios5 ok but now when im trying to restore from the backup to get all my apps, photos, contacts etc back i get the same -1 error message. Really hope someone can help please!!!

There are 2 apps that unable to restore in-app purchasing after restore iPhone, TopikMiddle and TOPIK Card. What is happening with it?

I paid $0.99 for each apps TopikMiddle and TOPIK Card.
I can not restore these in-app purchase
What should I do?
Or I lost my money for nothing?
What will Apple do in this situation?
Please help!!!

Several erroneous things in your post.
1. You don't have to restore the iOS to restore the last backup. After disabling automatic syncing on connection to iTunes (iTunes Prefs > Devices > Disable....), connect phone and right-click the device tab and select "Restore from backup." This restores the last backup without deleting anything on the phone.
2. If you had to restore the iOS, you could transfer your apps and other purchases to the iTunes library first - same procedure as above but select "Transfer Purchases."
3. If you did lose apps, you can re-download them without paying again, unlike music or media.

Can't restore win 8.1 after win 10 install

I have a Yoga Tablet 2-1051f. I installed Windows 10 but just didn't like it. During installation ot created a recovery file on my SD card. I tried to revert back to windows 8.1 but after it finally rebooted, boot failed. I get error code 0xc000025. It says I need an installation disc and to PRESS THE WINDOWS KEY FOR UEFI FIRMWARE SETTINGS. Of course I can't do this because the keyboard doesn't link. Does anyone have any ideas how to recover my tablet? Thanks

Turned out it was a problem with PRAM. I reset the PRAM (holding Command + Option + P + R) after "Windows could not update the boot configuration". And ran the install disc once more and it worked!
Hope this helps somebody.

DdI am unable to access firefox or thunderbird after trying to update firefox

I tried to update firefox and both my firefox and thunderbird are not accessable any more. I tried to delete them and start over with no success. I get a widdow saying I must reboot to delete a prior version of firefox and when I click it that is the end. now I can not access my e-mail to get information from mozilla.

hello arbenny, this is an old homepage that wasn't maintained after firefox 4, but it was still hosted by google for the time the search contract between google and mozilla was in place, which is now no longer the case.
the new default homepage that firefox uses now is '''about:home''', which you can set like described at [[How to set the home page]]

HT4859 I am unable to recover a rented movie after changing one iPad for another. Music and books were easily restored

I am unable to restore a rented movie after Changing out my iPad for a new one. All music and books were restored easily

PS - have found other posts indicating that clips smaller than 2s or sometimes 5s, or "short files" can cause this. Modern style editing often uses short takes ! Good grief I cannot believe Apple. Well I deleted a half a dozen short sections and can export, but now of course the video is a ruined piiece of junk and I need to re-do the whole thing, the sound etc. which is basically taking as much time as the original. And each time I re-do it I risk again this lovely error -50 and again trying to figure out what thing bugs it via trial and error instead of a REASONABLE ERROR MESSAGE POINTING TO THE CLIP IT CAN'T PROCESS. What a mess. I HATE this iMovie application - full of BUGS BUGS BUGS which Apple will not fix obviously, since I had this product for a few years and see just hundreds of hits on Google about this error with disappointed users. Such junk I cannot believe I paid money for it and Apple does not support it with fixes !!!
If anyone knows of a GOOD reasonably priced video editing program NOT from APPLE I am still looking for suggestions. I want to do more video in future, but obviously NOT with iMovie !!!

I have changed my Apple ID from the original ID that I used to set up my IPad & I haven't kept a record. This means that I am unable to restore from factory settings after an update error.

Satellite P840 - Unable to restore system image of Win 8.1

I have Toshiba P840 laptop which came with windows 8.0.
I created DVD and USB backups
After upgrade to windows 8.1 and saving images, I had a problem software and needed to go back to a previous back in windows 8.1.
The restore from the external HDD fails due to driver incompatibilities.
Technical support advise to restore windows 8.0 and then upgrade again to windows 8.1
Is there a better way to restore windows 8.1 image?
Is it possible to populate the boot usb (from windows 8 as original) to windows 8.1 drivers?
I am unable to create boot usb with windows 8.1 as the hdd partition has windows 8.0
Thanks,

For the future I recommend you to create a system backup using the Windows own system backup and restore feature.
Here some details provided by Microsoft:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows-8/restore-refresh-reset-pc
It related to Win 8 as well as Win 8.1
Of course for this step this isnt possible. So you would need to use Toshiba recovery medium to go back to Win 8, then to upgrade to Win 8.1
After installation and update of all the Windows 8.1 drivers and tools, create the backup as mentioned on the MS page.
