Win8 system restore half un-installed trail software

Good day,
While I know now that even if I do get this fixed, I don't think I will be able to continue with the trail... I need to get this fixed...
I need to know how to either
a) remove the Program Files that were left behind when windows did a system restore point, leaving dreamweiver half installed (Adobe application manager thinks it is still installed, but windows thinks its gone (it's not listed in the start menu, in the control panel under Programs and features, nor can I find a exe file associated with dreamweiver).
b) get the files needed to get this half install back to full install, so that I can continue the trail period, so that I can decide if paying for it is worth it.
Sadly Adobe chat support says that this isn't covered by their support... (which I find odd as making it work could benefit them if I buy it...).
Thanks!

Adobe support really isn't something that they pride themselves on. Many here will attest to that. The WIndows Restore cleaner only does certain things, not everything that installers do. Have you tried the CS Cleaner yet? If not, that's where I would start.

Win8 System Restore Help!

I'm trying to use my win 8 restore disks to restore on a SSD (Vertex 4) on my Tosh R930.
The BIOS/UEFI is set for Secure and UEFI boot.
The retsore DVD's run and copy all data to the SSD however when the PC goes to boot it can not find what to boot and I get "insert system disk" message.
I'm assuming that I've done something wrong. The SSD works if I install Win8 on another machine. However back in my R930 I simple can not get the restore disk to install a version that will boot.
Is there a document some where of the steps for how to install win8 with UEFI??

I wanted to upgrade my HD on my R930 to a bigger SSD so I purchased a OCZ4 256G drive. I thought I'd start from a clean install of Windows 8 from the recovery disks. Thus I set the system configuration to UEFI and then rebooted and proceeded to use the recovery disks via using F12 to boot from the DVD drive. Unlike many other examples on the net there is no appearence of the DVD drive being UEFI or not so I booted from the only option there (straight DVD). Once booted I choose restore to out of the box setting. Although the reading of the 3 disks took a very ong time eventually it completed without any errors. However, when the system tries to restart it simply now comes up with "Insert System Disk". I can;t seem to find the reason why it is doing this if its actually done a UEFI install. using dispart there appears to be the right partitions and with the correct format.
Anyone else used the recovery disks to restore win8?? What do I need to do to get the SSD to boot?
To rule out the SSD I actually installed in normal ACHI mode on another PC and the OS booted.
Any help appreciated as I'm pulling my hair out.
PS. the recovery disks plan states that its a GPT partition....

After system restore, half of ipod data won't transfer

I recently had to do a system restore on my computer and now none of my tv shows will transfer to my ipod and most of my music won't. The first time I updated my ipod after the restore a message said something about the device not being authorized for...something. I should note that I did not download anything but podcasts after the system restore, so everything that won't transfer was there before the restore. I'm not a computer genious, so help is really appreciated.

I am having the same issue. The top of the message board states there are 2 "helpful" answers and 1 "solved" answer. Have you been successful in getting everything to transfer and/or how do I access the referenced answers?

How to use Time Machine to do a system restore after clean install of mavericks

Hi I have a late 2008 MacBook Pro 15" ... I updated from mountain lion to mavericks and was having issues with mavericks running slow. Took it to Apple today and they were great with helping me upgrade the RAM to the max (8GB DDR3) ... I asked them to do a clean install of Mavericks as well. I have Time Machine backups that I would like to use to restore to my previous settings but I can't seem to figure out what to do.... When I enter Time Machine and I try and select a past date, it doesn't let me choose a date to "restore" ... What am I doing wrong? Please walk me through it thanks!

Use Migration Assistant to migrate your previous account from the Time Machine backup. Migration Assistant is in your Utilities folder.
Read: OS X: How to migrate data from another Mac using Mavericks
When doing so, select your previous User account but do not migrate "Applications", "Computer and Network Settings" or "Other files and folders". De-select those choices. Subsequent to using Migration Assistant, you will need to reinstall any essential software you may require.
"Essential software" means programs that have been verified by their developers to be compatible with Mavericks, and specifically excludes junk such as "cleaners", "boosters", "optimizers", or ill-conceived "anti-virus" garbage. Install that essential software from original sources such as the App Store, developer's websites, or original optical media, and not from untrustworthy download aggregator hosting sites such as C net dot com, Mac update dot com, etc, and not from backups that may have been corrupted.
Be aware that if you already created an account with the same name as the one you want to migrate, Migration Assistant will offer to rename the account it's about to create. In other words if you're already logged in as "Tara", and you want to migrate the account named Tara from the Time Machine backup, it will offer to name the migrated account Tara1. Migration Assistant will tell you what it's going to do, but the warning is easy to overlook. Therefore you might consider creating another, temporary account with Administrator privileges, and deleting the one you created subsequent to erasing your Mac and installing Mavericks.
For those instructions read: OS X Mavericks: Set up users on your Mac. Follow the instructions under "Add a user". Be sure to select “Allow user to administer this computer.”
Log in under that temporary account, then use Migration Assistant. Confirm everything works as you expect, then you can delete the temporary account.

System restore. failed driver install

Was having issues with the laptop so decided to do a full factory reset using the built in windows HP recovery. This failed so then used the recovery discs provided and worked to a point.
Formats OK, copies files OK, asks for the driver discs and does that (appears so) OK. Reboots and installs windows then HP software and drivers. What seems to be forever system reboots and then tells me its failed due to no drivers.
I have attempted this now 4/times with same result. These discs were provided by HP as my drive failed previously so should be the correct discs. This is the only HP machine and the only HP discs I have ever had.
Currently the machine is useless, unable to do anything. No way to get to desktop to manually install drivers after. Very annoying to say the least

Test the hard drive and memory modules, run the extended and quick tests, post back any errors or messages

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.

BioSRC: a Ports-like system for installing bioinformatics software

While this might not be of great use for people administering their own Arch Linux system, I do know that there are at least a couple other bioinformaticians around these parts who might find it useful anyway. Many bioinformaticians use shared computing resources (clusters), so they do not have administrative permissions to install software system-wide. Instead, we manually install software to our home directories or shared drives. Unfortunately, bioinformatics software is usually released by biologists, not software engineers, so the packaging standards, if there are any, generally leave something to be desired. Often some amount of manual work needs to be done to compile and install the software.
I got tired of dealing with this on a personal level and in our group we were setting up a lot of software to be shared between us. So, I hit on the idea of adapting another package that I maintain, GSRC, which uses the Ports-like GARstow system to install GNU software, to produce a dedicated system for easily installing bioinformatics software, called BioSRC.
BioSRC includes many common bioinformatics tools (under pkg/bio), as well as general tools that are useful in analysis pipelines (pkg/tools), bioinformatics-related libraries or library-dependencies of other BioSRC software (pkg/libs) and the latest versions of common programming languages/environments (pkg/dev...really handy if, like me, your cluster only has ancient versions of Python). New packages are being added as fast as I can and I welcome requests (note that I'm only adding properly licensed free and open source software...no "academic use only", license-free, or otherwise proprietary software will be included in BioSRC).
Currently there are no formal releases but rather you should just clone the Git repository. Setting up is simple:
$ git clone git://gitorious.org/biosrc/biosrc.git
$ cd biosrc
$ ./bootstrap
$ ./configure --prefix=/foo/bio-software
$ make install
The last step is optional and just installs the documentation ("info biosrc") and a biosrc script (see below).
After that, any software can be installed easily to your chosen directory, /foo/bio-software in the above example, with Make:
$ make -C pkg/bio/ncbi-blast install
This will fetch the package, verify its checksums, extract it, configure it, build it and finally install it. Under your install prefix, packages are first installed to the "packages" directory and their contents are then symlinked into the standard locations under the prefix (i.e. ${prefix}/bin/bar will be a link to ${prefix}/packages/foo-1.0/bin/bar). Installing a new version of a package does not uninstall the old version; only the links are replaced. Thus, if you still need to use the old version for whatever reason, it remains available in the packages directory.
To make your life even easier, the biosrc script automates a lot of stuff for you, allowing you to install, uninstall, search, display info, etc from any directory:
$ biosrc search alignment
$ biosrc info hmmer
$ biosrc install ncbi-blast
See the documentation for more information.
Enjoy!

THIS IS CHEATING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
People ranging from system experts to housewives install Adobe software all the time, but most of the times this occurs under very stressfull situations like: an opreating system reinstall or just after unboxing a brand new computrer. People does not come to Adobe website to browse and see if they like something, they come because they are unable to make another piece of software work, lot of them come frustrated or in a hurry, and they do not notice the check box, it is intentionally designed to pass unoticed. Even experts hit "download" without any further reading, just becuase Adobe was believed to be a serious and reliable company. But this kind of practices deminishes your credibility and image. I think, having the checkbox checked by default is not a nice practice, in fact I consider it unethical and fraudulent. A honset company would make very sure to have a checkbox like this cleared by default.
I used to trust blindly in companies like yours, because I considered them honest and ethical, but sadly this changes everything.
Too bad you cheat people like this.

Can I use another Mac's system restore disc on my Mac?

Disclaimer: Apple does not necessarily endorse any suggestions, solutions, or third-party software products that may be mentioned in the topic below.

Apple does not guarantee that these links will be maintained or functional at any given time. Use the information below at your own discretion.
Q. Can I use the grey coloured System Restore discs that shipped with Mac A to install OS X onto Mac B?
A. In most cases, due to technical and licensing reasons, the answer is no. The answer is definitely no if any of the following apply:
Any part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
The OS on the disc is any version of Leopard (10.5.x), or is any version of Tiger later than 10.4.42
Either of the two Macs has an Intel processor3
The system restore discs from Mac A contain an older version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
However, an installation attempt may be successful, and compliant with all OS X licensing terms, if all of the following conditions are met:
No part of the software on the system restore disc is currently installed or in use on Mac A, or on any other computer1
The OS on the disc is Tiger 10.4.3 or earlier, or is an earlier version of OS X (10.3.x, 10.2.x, etc)2
Both Mac A and Mac B have PowerPC processors (G3, G4, or G5)3
The system restore discs from Mac A contain a newer version of Mac OS X than the version of Mac OS X that was on the install discs that would have shipped with Mac B4
All terms of the Mac OS X Software License Agreement are followed, particularly sections 2 and 3 regarding permitted usage and transfer.
Even if all the above conditions are met, software restore discs contain computer-specific releases of Mac OS X, and may not install or work properly on a Mac that has a hardware configuration that is significantly different than the original.
Notes
The license agreement for single user copies of all versions of OS X, including all versions that ship on system restore discs, do not permit any part of the software to be installed or used on more than one computer at the same time.
The provision restricting the use of grey coloured system restore discs to the same Mac with which they shipped was introduced with the 10.4.4 Software License Agreement, and has been carried through to the 10.5 Leopard Software License Agreement. This restriction was not present in the Software License Agreement for earlier versions of Tiger, nor for earlier versions of Mac OS X.
All Macs with Intel processors shipped with a Mac OS X EULA restricting usage of the software restore discs to that Mac only. The license that shipped with G3, G4, or G5 Macs that shipped with 10.4.3 or earlier permit the transfer of OS X to another Mac, provided that all terms of the license agreement are followed. Furthermore, the architecture of PowerPC and Intel systems are incompatible enough that neither platform's system restore discs will install on the other.
Mac OS X system software will not properly run on, and may not even install on, any Mac that is newer than it, because the software lacks the hardware drivers to run properly on the newer hardware. Details are in this document: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2186

Gray Install Discs are Machine specific, so even if both were Intel iMacs they'd have to be the same Models.
Leopard 10.5.x is another possible option besides Tiger/10.4.x.
Tiger Requirements...
To use Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger, your Macintosh needs:
* A PowerPC G3, G4, or G5 processor
* Built-in FireWire
* At least 256 MB of RAM (I recommend 1GB minimum)
* DVD drive (DVD-ROM), Combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) or SuperDrive (DVD-R) for installation
* At least 3 GB of free disk space; 4 GB if you install the XCode 2 Developer Tools (I recommend 20GB minimum)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1514
See Tom's, (Texas Mac Man), great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9755670&#9755670
Or Ali Brown's great info on where/how to find/get Tiger...
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10381710#10381710
Leopard requirements/10.5.x...
* Mac computer with an Intel, PowerPC G5, or PowerPC G4 (867MHz or faster) processor
minimum system requirements
* 512MB of memory (I say 2GB at least)
* DVD drive for installation
* 9GB of available disk space (I say 30GB at least)
You have to call Apple & likely ask for a Product Specialist to get it, if they still have it!

How do I perform a system restore in Windows 10?

QuestionHow do I perform a system restore in Windows 10?
AnswerNote: This article is about Windows 10. Separate articles are available on performing system restore in Windows 8 and Windows 7.
System restore rolls your system files back to a restore point from a previous date. You can make restore points manually, but Windows will also make them automatically. This will undo system settings, changes from Windows Update, and changes from newly installed software (including removing software installed since that restore point).
Your data, documents, and most programs won't be changed. This makes system restore a great place to start when you're having a problem and don't know how to fix it.
System restore reverts drivers installed since the restore point was created. Programs and apps installed since the restore point was created will also need to be reinstalled.
To view other recovery options in Windows 10, read this article:
What recovery options are available in Windows 10?
To perform a system restore, follow these steps:
Open the Start Menu and select Settings.
Select Update & security and then Recovery.
Under Advanced startup, select Restart now.
After the computer restarts to a screen with various options, select Troubleshoot.
Select Advanced options and then System Restore.
When you reach an account selection screen, select an account.
Enter your password and select Continue.
Follow the prompts, choosing your desired restore point. (You'll most likely want to use the most recent restore point from before the problem started).
You can also watch this video to learn how to perform a system restore:

If you want to create an image of the entire disk, then `dd' is an option. But you can also use ufsdump to create an image of a filesystem running on that disk, but you need to do that for every filesystem on the disk and please keep a copy of you vtoc for the future if you need to restore everything.
On the other hand you make me thing about someone who wants to clone machines and then a Flash Archive can also be an option. Please keep in mind to ask the question in the future instead of conformation of your answer ;-)

Installing ipod software disables cd drive

Hi all,
I've recently bought an ipod shuffle and installed everything onto my hp Pavilion zv5000 laptop. Installing the ipod software and itunes / quickplayer all works fine, and i can run and use my ipod, BUT once i have done this, my cd/dvd RW drive is no longer recognised by my computer. I can't use cds or dvds in any form in any application on my computer, not just in itunes. I have tried installing the ipod software from the cd, and from downloading it, but the same happens both ways. The only way to get the cd drive working again is to do a system restore to before installing the ipod, which of course means i can't use my ipod. Any ideas?

okay, if it's giving you a code 41 like that, try the techniques from this post:
b noir: Upgrade to V6 and I loose the ability to see Drives
(since i made that post, the GEAR drivers page has changed a bit. so if you end up having to reinstall those, use the standard 32-bit driver rather than the legacy one, unless you've got Norton Ghost.)

Kernel panic after system restore...

I have a network TM drive for my MacBook. I wanted to reformat the computer and restore it, so that I could create a new partition for a Boot Camp Ubuntu install (it wouldn't let me before, as my data was all over the place on the drive and it couldn't move it for some reason).
So anyways, I reformatted the drive and tried to system restore from my install disc. It hung on "calculating disk space required" before the internal hard drive even showed up (at this point, the external hard drive holding my network TM was hooked directly up to the laptop, and it could see that just fine - it was the internal it couldn't see). So I reinstalled OS X instead. Then on first boot from the fresh install, I chose the option to restore from a drive. That didn't work either, as it couldn't find the drive over the network, and when I hooked it up directly it only saw the other partition on the drive (which holds my backup for my Mac Mini, which the hard drive is usually hooked up to). So I rebooted to the startup disc again. This time it would let me restore from the external when it was hooked directly up to the laptop. So I did that, and left it overnight. I came back this morning to the screen saying something like "Backup successful, your computer will now restart to the restored OS."
So I clicked OK and it restarted. To a kernel panic.
And it keeps restarting to a kernel panic. I have no idea what could be wrong. The backup is from last night, right before I reformatted, and the computer worked just fine then. And I ran disk utility off the install disk, and checked both the disk and permissions, and they are both fine.

I'm having the same problem on a macbook pro. I restored the time machine backup to both an external drive, and the computer's home drive, and neither is booting up. Both are giving the kernel panic, grey screen of death. I am using the system restore disk, which is 10.6, and I'm going to try to install the OS from scratch first, and then see if I can restore from there.
It's a bit late now (sorry, I was snoozing ), but you probably don't have to install "from scratch," if you mean erase your internal HD and install Snow Leopard.
If you just Install, you'll get a fresh copy of OSX and your Apple Apps, without disturbing anything else. That will probably work. (But don't forget to install the "combo.")

After a System restore event I am unable to 'unpack' the Abobe Creative Cloud App to load it.

I purchase a subscription to the cloud (Lightroom / Photoshop). The APP all downloaded fine after the purchase and the short cut worked, I managed to download the 2 software packages and started to use them. I then had to action a Win 7 Systems restore. Following this the software was no longer on the Laptop. I therefore tried to re-download the APP. This initially seemed to work OK but when running it, the APP appears to start the loading process, then just disappears after a few seconds. I have waited for hours to see if it would finally burst into life. Can anyone suggest what I need to do to restore functionality and what the issue is? Many thanks in anticipation.

Is Adobe Reader now a Trojan for installing unwanted software?

Adobe Reader update message popped up today. Started install of update and noticed that some McAfee Scan garbage was also being installed. Nothing in the update invitation mentioned that I would be installing anything other than a Reader update. I cancelled at about 67% of the process. Reader install then finished and McAfee showed to be cancelled. What damage was done by allowing this to go as far as I did? I'm not happy with this attempt to hose my computer with unwanted stuff! Where did I miss the option to decline the McAfee junk BEFORE the install was already underway?
Looks like Adobe Reader is now a Trojan for unwanted McAfee Install. Now I can't even trust Adobe to not infect my computer.
