After you restore an image of my system drive, my tasks and events disappeared. Help!

I've restored a backup image on my C: drive. Everything looks good except all my events and tasks have disappeared from the calendar!
I understand that this data is included in my profile, but how do I get my events and tasks and put back them in the calendar? Are the import and export of functions expected to be used to provide backups of my events and tasks? Shouldn't they already appear in the calendar after the restoration of a system disk?

After a lot of messing around, I think I solved this problem.

The problem occurs because of an incompatibility between certain values in prefs.js vs values in the data table cal_events.

I copied backup prefs.js (containing the 'calendar') related lines in the current prefs.js and now everything looks OK, I can see my tasks and events in the calendar.

The lines looked like this:
user_pref ("calendar.list.sortOrder", "75f0f98f-9fdf-4bca-9e48-656ff2e1457d 012fd0d9-bcf1-43b1-a98d-6b0117a3f779 511ca361-a646-4f94-880b-526a0a5cdba1");

These long numbers must correspond to the values of the column. cal_id apparently if they do not match, they do not appear in the calendar.

Mine does not, so I corrected the values in the prefs.js file and everything seems to go fine now.

I still need to find the cause of the incompatibility, I think it was something in the way that I restored the disk then run MozBackup to restore my backup Thunderbird.

Hope this helps others with this problem.

Many thanks to Gnospen and Matt for their help!

  • What happens to iCloud library after you restore the old library on Mac?

    I have known problems with iDevices displaying thousands of 'new' images, even if they are all already in the library of Photos on Mac and on iCloud photo library, I posted on here also.

    Through the various attempts to stop these 'new' photos to reappear again and again, I found myself with several copies of the thousands of images in the pictures on Mac and therefore in iCloud (i.e. they synchronized). Rather than go to the library and find it manually and remove these duplicates, I would just return the photo via Time Machine library to its prior state of duplicates. After I restored the local library there will be no duplicates and have much less images than what is in the iCloud, photo library.

    My question:

    'Local library restored' rule and the iCloud library will correspond to the now smaller local library? Or all of the duplicate to my local library files will be synchronized? Put an another passerby, did restore Time Machine also "informed" (impact) the library to match the local library restored iCloud?

    Restores the local library AND remove all images in iCloud and then re-upload a 20 K library to iCloud the only way?

    Thanks in advance.

    First, you will need to erase your iCloud library in iCloud, I'm afraid, Pope, prior to activating the library restored as a your photo library system.

    I only tested once. After the restoration of the library of Time Machine, the library was no longer recognized as the photo library of the system, even in the same location on disk. That caused the iCloud photo library to deal with the library as an additional library must be downloaded to iCloud. The library was merged to the existing library, so older duplicates have been removed.

    Yes, you can remove the file from the imported image, if you have imported the image as managed.  IE preferences in ave Photos settled on "import: copy items to the photo library" being the default.

  • Cannot restore the image of the external drive

    I got a bolt of lightning and the factory hard drive needs to be replaced. I created a DVD boot disk and a current backup system on a USB external drive. Everything goes as planned; I boot on the DVD, Windows loads the files and the cranks Recovery Manager. I go through the guests to restore from system image, that I created earlier and the Manager believes the USB image. All is well until the system tries to install the image and then I get an error: failed to restore of system image. There is no drive that can be used to recover the system.

    The new drive is 500 GB, the old is 650 GB. Is the small size of disc the question?

    I caught a 1 to, a disc, which annoyingly I wants to go to the origin but rather picked up a 500 GB and the restoration seeks to advance. It has at least not out crapped on the date and is trying to restore the image to the new drive. With the fast error when restoring to the 500 GB drive, it seems the image was to remember the size of the partition and reluctant.

    Hello

    I installed an Alfred Workflow (see code below) that will mark all my mails as read. After you run it for a minute, the mail has crashed and I had to forcequit. However, now, when you open the Mail it crashes instantly, even after restart and repair the permissions. I also used the Ctrl + C and CTRL-Z commands in the Terminal to leave the alfred_script, but nothing helped. I'm running out of ideas here, so I hope you could help me either reinstall the mail.app. I could always just switch to a different mail application, but it's kind of a last resort.

    Code:

    Tell application "Mail".

    Define allAccounts on each account name

    Repeat with currAccount in allAccounts

    the unreadMboxes value (each mailbox to the account currAccount the unread number is not 0)

    Repeat with currMbox in unreadMboxes

    (read status of each message to currMbox including the playback State is set to false) true value

    end repeat

    end repeat

    tell the end

    Any input would be greatly appreciated. Can post the report of crash on demand.

    Not sure that Alfred's, but it's just an Applescript script and it would not cause Mail to be planted.

    However, when running through all the messages, it is possible Mail database has been corrupted and it crashes because of this.

    I'll probably get anything out of the accident report, but others might.

    My first instinct would be to rebuild the mailbox. Because you can't do that with him crashing, you can simply delete the databases and it will rebuild them.

    Navigate to this folder:

    ~/Library/Mail/v3/MailData/

    You can either manually through the files, or copy the full path and paste it into go the folder in the menu go to the Finder.

    Remove the envelope Index files. Open Mail and see if it works well.

    If your library does not appear in your folder, hold down the Option key and select library in the menu go to in the Finder.

  • Problem of recovering files after completing the reduced image of the system

    I wanted a quick and easy way to remove bloatware on my HP Pavilion dv6 laptop and I recently found the option to minimize the system image.  During execution of the task, I was given the option to first back all my files and I thought it was excellent.  After waiting 2 hours for her to create the backup, he created a 67.5 GB file on my backup drive and then proceeds to reduce to a minimum the system image.  While he was complete my phone restarted and went through all the steps of setting up for first use.  When everything was done, I plugged my backup disk and navigated to the folder of recovery of file titled "Backup_2011-10-28 125331.  In the file was a file "Recovery.exe" so I guess that I just had to run the file and everything would be restored.  However, he did create a file on the C: drive in the "System Recovery Files" which basically looks like a simple list of files.  The file that was done was only 12 GB, which makes no sense given that the backup folder initial took 67.5 GB on my backup drive.

    I assumed that this recovery file would simply perform a system recovery, restore all files created by the user where they were originally and basically to restore my system to how it was before reducing the image of the system, except of course for the fact that the image of the system would be less.  I was wrong to assume that or am I not successfully restore my system?  When enter windows and attempt to restore the backup created by some HP program that did it, the file is not even given as a possible source of save.  How can I get my computer to where it was before the restoration?  I had more than 100 GB of music, games and programs out there that are now lost and trying to remember what I lost everything will be very tedious, not to mention how long to actually get all the files.  Can someone help me with this? Thanks in advance!

    OK, what I learned hae is the backup created during the copy just for the recovery of all the files in the format of the image (management of stormwater in case you), the restore.exe was never to return to the original lcations since maybe it's different, so there just pictures of stormwater management to normal files and dumps then converts into a folder to restore you It is up to you to sort through them and put them in the appropriate places, stupid I agree, but that's the way it was designed.

    Back to your problem, I would like to rename this "System Recovery Files" System Recovery Files 2 folder, then try the recovery.exe once again, see if there is no option during recovery, make sure you select all files if given a chance, see if it produces more files than he did the first time.

    If this does not work there is a way to convert all the files management of stormwater to 1 wim file and then mount the wim file in explorer to copy the files you need from the image, it's very complicated process which I've never tried it myself.

  • After you run the XP Disk Defragmenter, system crashes or runs very slowly

    When I run Disk Defragmenter after its finished to start my computer hangs up and slow real execution.

    Also, some installed start programs acting weird. like taking a lot of time to load up or when I use them that they cling

    or stop responding all together.

    To work the way they are supposed to do, I have to uninstall and then reinstall. Why is this happening?

    I thought that the operation of Disk Defragmenter only deleted of fragmented files that are no longer in use, or not is more necessary.

    So nobody knows what is happening here?

    Thank you.

    Kittycast of Kittyville http://justin.tv/marksr

    I agree with Gerry Cornel, this stemmed not Disk Defragmenter.

    There is nothing wrong with the Disk Defragmenter - it works well for what it was intended: temporary, occasional use. If anything, it gets abused and forced to do jobs he was supposed to never do, like defragmentation huge disks that get heavy use and therefore are strongly defragmented, etc..

    Here is a routine that I've compiled over the years to troubleshoot issues with Disk Defragmenter that proved very useful if you want to continue with this problem:

    There are several reasons why the built-in Defragmenter may not work correctly:

    0. it is malware on the system. Solution: Run an anti-virus control and also a spyware check.

    1. the disk is too full (you need at least 15% free space, sometimes 20%). Solution: Delete files unnecessary and programs until you have more than 20% free space.

    2. the disc is damaged and must be repaired. Solution:

    a. open "My computer" and right-click on the drive that you want to disable frag.
    b. Select 'Properties' and click on 'tools '.
    c. Select "Check now" to check the drive for errors.
    d. Select the two options and click on 'start '.

    (This can take time and can restart the PC so that it can do the check at boot time. Be patient and let it complete).

    3. Disk Defragmenter can be altered, needing a system restore to fix it. Solution:

    a. start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - System Restore (click here to open);
    b. Select a good restore point before you start having problems with Disk Defragmenter.
    c. start the restore process and let an end (descriptive name of something restore operation as "Repair Defrag").

    4. There are other programs that run the Defragmenter interruption integrated. Solution:
    a. close all running programs.
    b. If you think there may be some programs that run in the background.
    c. press Ctrl + Alt + Delete and
    d. Select "start Task Manager".
    e. under the 'Applications' tab, you will find a list of all running applications - you can close these by selecting "end task."

    5. If still no luck, try disabling the screen saver when you run Disk Defrag (you should very well leave the system only when running the built-in defragmentation utility).

    6. If still no go, try to run the defragmenter in Mode without failure. If she runs, something interferes with her and stalking interference may not be easy. Note: Some versions of Windows 7 disables the ability to run the Defragmenter built-in in safe mode. If disabled, it will say when you try to start it in safe mode.

    7 Disk Defragmenter may no longer be on the system or is damaged while it needs a re - install. Solution: Reinstall the built-in function.

    There are several ways to re - install the built-in Defragmenter:

    A:
    a. open the menu 'start '.
    b. type '% Windir%\Inf' in the 'Search' box and press 'Enter '.
    c. in the window that opens, find the file named "dfrg.inf.
    d. right-click on "dfrg.inf" and "install".

    B:
    a. go into "start > run" on your computer.
    b. Type "rundll32.exe setupapi, InstallHinfSection DefaultInstall 132% windir%\inf\dfrg.inf" and press "Enter."
    3. click 'OK' to make the program automatically reinstall itself.

    C:
    a. go to start > all programs > Accessories > right click on command prompt > select 'run as administrator '.
    b. at the command prompt, type "regsvr32 dfrgsnap.dll" and press "enter."
    c. type 'regsvr32 dfrgui.dll' and press 'Enter '. This will reinstall the missing Defragmenter files.

    8. most of the problems will be solved by #6 above, but if not, and if your windows installation is otherwise working well, you should consider to download a free trial of a Defrag tool commercial rather than drastic measures to restore the functionality built-s. Third-party programs are more robust and many work in the background, so you can use your PC during defragmentation.

    Most third party programs offer a free, fully functional trial (better ones are for 30 days). Install one of them allows you to disable built-in and if you decide to uninstall, removal will replace the built-in function, repaired several times in the process: it's worth a try...

    Here's a recent Top 10 comments side-by-side comparison of the best available defragmentation programs:

    http://Disk-Defragmenter-software-review.TopTenReviews.com/

    The gold medal is the only defrag program that also prevents the fragmentation (see comment).

    Why is it good to prevent fragmentation?

    Basically, it significantly increases life expectancy of your hard drive (especially since you don't have to leave the system on all night - a much 'greener' agricultural practice), not to mention it also increases the performance of the system.

    Find out what the review has to say on this.

    Good luck to you!

    PS: If still no go, repair may involve editing the registry or repair installation of windows and possibly re - install windows itself. These aren't simple solutions. If so, indicate if they can be provided.

  • Cannot open the program after you restore the backup of the files.

    original title: problems of recovery program

    I had to do a system recovery. When the files have been restored from the backup made on to the DVD-they do not repopulate the original sites, that is to say the restoration has created a section of program in the C drive, but it had only the value default ones that came with the computer since the store - as it was supposed to, given was a cover. However, all of the programs I've added over the years are stuck in the restore file called "Program Files" as most have been downloaded since the ' net, I have no disks. not only that most is time sensitive and have many improvements. How can the Backed files program, now residing in 'My Documents', developed by the backup process located in the C drive program area? When I try to open the program in the restore file, the content and details are listed, but the program does not work. Thanks for any information.

    Hey Dave to Campbell River.

    I'm a bit confused between your question and the answer. Have you already restored your system or if you are trying to implement and obtain information?
    In response to the original question, you can back up your entire hard drive, back up is called a System Image, it will be, as it is said, back up your system.
    A system backup / full copying data files, but not everything on the drive. You cannot use it to restore the entire system.
    I hope that sheds some light on it for you. And fear what (I'm trying to follow the number two of the answer now) you created a backup system, and are now trying to re access to your program files, I'm afraid, you're out of luck. I had to learn the hard way, too, so I hope you are getting information and are not in this situation.
    Hope this has been useful, if you have any other questions, feel free to keep coming them.
    Thanks for posting of answers!
  • S5-1060 casing dvd player does not recognize the Bluray disks after you restore windows 7

    I have a s5-1060 casing with a HP DH12E3LH bluray player, recently the computer was so I took out the restore disks and just do a fresh install of windows 7, it works fine now, BUT the only thing I can't understand is why my bluray in unity player not to see, recognize or play blurays now.

    The Device Manager shows the best drivers are already installed (21/06/2006 microsoft 6.1.7601.17514 driver), and he will play CD, DVD, just does not recognize a bluray disc.  I might say, we watched top of 25-30 movies on it so I 'hope' is not burned or something altogether.

    It indicates that the device is working properly in Device Manager he calls it a cdrom drive (not sure if it matters), but with a bluray in the drive, it shows under properties / status / no media in the drive.

    I'm not really sure where to start on this, drivers seem strange to be so old, is it a firmware I can update if so where can I get that info, I went to the hp site let it detect the computer saw the driver updated but nothing which was directly related to the cdrom drive.

    Thanks for any help on this just stumped at this point, as it was working before the full restoration to the computer using the recovery disks, then there must be something simple.

    Hello FTLOSM,.

    I understand that after making your computer your Blu - ray discs won't play in Windows 7. I'm you provide a document from HP support: solve the DVD and Blu-ray movie problems (Windows 7) that will guide you through the troubleshooting steps to resolve this problem. I would focus on the topic impossible to watch movies in Blu-ray 3D. I am also you provide the link to the Drivers of HP Pavilion Slimline s5-1060 desktop PC page.

    I hope that I have answered your question to your satisfaction. Thanks for posting on the HP Forums. Have a great day!
