All my files and pictures have been deleted and all my settings for my computer after windows update
Original title: update of Windows 8
All my files and pictures have been deleted and all my settings for my computer after the update of windows. I need some answers! Microsoft you need to find something to say to me. WTF! Your update has ruined my computer
Shawn,
I think this isn't the Windows update that caused this problem. It could be something else the cause. Windows Update never removes any of your files and folders stored in the computer.
You can try a system restore to a previous point when the computer was working properly.

Some random got my apple id and all my contacts have been deleted and I have their pictures on my phone, really need help
I think the first thing to do is to connect on your apple ID and change your password and other security information. They can access your account and buy apps and music with your apple ID and your credit card would be charged it.

I bought a laptop broken at a friend's House. It is not used for the operating system windows 8 and wanted to use the Windows Vista operating system. Son of friends put in place this laptop for it, which was new when she bought in a retail store. Is there a way I can find out whether all the partitions have been deleted during the installation of Vista? I still see window 8 logo that I sign as an administrator user on this laptop.
When I log on this computer, the previous owner of the screen name is the only one that appears. I go in Control Panel, click Add another account, then I see the screen name I posted. I could use the WiFi from my PC at home that Win 7 OS.
When I started working with the laptop, I was able to bring control of the camera. Now I thought that the version that I use does not allow this operation. Be happy with any Positive help with my problems.
Thank you
Phil W.
Hello
Start > type CMD
Right click on CMD and select run as administrator
Type diskmgmt.msc
Press enter
This opens where you can view the partitions on the disk management system
Who has installed Windows Vista, your son or friend? Fact that they create a dual boot environment or reformat?
http://www.technorms.com/8438/Windows-8-create-hard-drive-partition
Multibooting requires separate partitions on the hard drive of your computer for each operating system. To create and format a partition, see create and format a hard disk partition.
To check if a dual boot system in place, start > Type msconfig
Click on the Startup tab
You see two operating systems listed? Windows 8, Windows Vista
http://www.groovypost.com/HOWTO/Microsoft/Vista/how-to-change-default-OS-for-dual-boot-system/
I think that Windows 8 has the following partitions
400 MB Partition Recovery (contains recovery information dated from before my upgrade)
- 300 MB EFI System Partition
- 350 MB Partition Recovery (contains information for recovery of my upgrade)
- 17 GB Partition Recovery
- 220 GB of Partition primary
Windows Vista has drive C and drive D
Done reformatting refers to a hard disk or partition that already has been formatted or that contains data on it. Reformatting a disk deletes all the data on the disk.

How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '? Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom. I started to remove some files and it removed ALL of them! I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline. I tried to 'find' a different folder and it deleted the folder all together and now I don't know where he is. Help, please!
How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?
You need a backup of your Lightroom catalog file before deleting the photos made. You have such a backup? If so, find the backup catalog, open it (double click on it) and then search for the photos you want and select them and then file-> export catalogue; Then go to your original catalog file, open it and select file-> import from another catalog and points to the catalog that you just exported.
If you do not have a backup of your catalog file, then the only thing you can do is to import the photos again, and Lightroom will treat them as totally new photos with no editing and no metadata provided by the user.
Moreover, the idea of importing photos into Lightroom and then later removing them to Lightroom should is limited to photos you will EVER want such a photos that are so overexposed or underexposed or blurred that they are essentially useless. The photos that you care enough to run a task on (including editing) should never be removed from Lightroom.
Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom.
Is this the same problem as above, or another?
I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline.
Is it possible that you actually deleted pictures from the hard disk, as well as from Lightroom? Anyway, Lightroom cannot find the photos and you first need to find photos on your hard drives and then direct Lightroom to the location of the photo on your hard drive, using these instructions Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

When I opened outlook express Inbox, all messages have been deleted, please help restore the same
Go to view | Current view | Show all messages to make sure that you have just selected 'Hide read messages.
If this does not help, check your Recycle Bin, the bak files which are dbx files, you can restore backups. See www.oehelp.com/OETips.aspx#2
If this does not help, then you will probably need my program DBXpress (www.oehelp.com/DBXpress/), which will extract the messages from individual dbx files, and if messages are no longer in the files, it can extract from the disc itself.

I'm running Vista Ultimate, -connection (Ethernet) with Verizon FIOS I ran a Norton registry clean and foolishly trust what he says to remove.
At first, all of my USB cards have been screwed up (noted in the Device Manager with exclamation next to each one points)
I did a system restore and that corrects this problem, but now I'm having a problem with my network card.
, All diagnostic tests, etc. show that the material is very good. My router is also fine the problem is that windows can't get an IP address from the router and then assigns his own
(a # 169 instead of a # 192)
In the network connection properties, it says that the device is functioning correctly, and the driver is up-to-date.
'Connection speed' tab: a window of diagnosstics is: I ran testto test adapters connect to connect to the network.
Results: connection Test
Test details:I have "this card is configured to obtain an IP address automatically. No DHCP server is present on the network. Windows selected an IP address by using the alternative private IP addressing. »

! "No DNS server is available for this connection.
! "No WINS server is available for this computer.

In this same window of diagnostics under the "LinksTab".

I went throughD-Link Tech router (router) support is good, Fios Tech support everything set up right, - Norton support(Norton denies that the files were not to be touched-although their report shows these registry files were deleted)-Dell Tech support because my warranty missed 3 weeks ago - although I still have the "your Tech Support team until 2013 - which is valid only if you have a hardware warranty-made no sense sold me the car without. the engine - directed the FTC to bring a complaint about it - after I get this fixed number.
I hope someone can help... by the way I get perfectly in line with my laptop - I know this isn't my router. I'm sure it's due to some registry files being moved-(j'ai eu deles de messages d'erreur indiquant que les fichiers de Registre ont été endommagées ou manquantes) what do I do now? No system restore to restore this part of the register - I also installed the drivers from the dell drivers and Utilities disc - but maybe I've done that correctly? I put the disc - extract files-(he says they have been unpacked) was a new step for me to do after that? Help, please!
Thank you!HelloWe recommend that you install the router (see its manual) and the pilot of NIC once more and check the difference. In the first post, you mentioned that you decompressed or extracted files. Once the files are extracted, you will be asked to install the driver. However if you do not receive any prompts for the driver, then you will need to locate the destination folder where the files are checked to find the configuration file.
Open the destination folder where the files are extracted and run the Setup file to complete the installation.To download and install the latest network card driver, visit the site Web of the manufacturer of the device or system.For more information on downloading and installing the drivers, visit this link:

I have an iPhone 4S with IOS 9.3.2 and 372 MB free storage as well as 3.5 GB available storage iCloud.
I put the iPhone in charge when the battery was at 2% and went out. I returned four hours later and the Iphone
has shown 6% charged battery. Powered by the phone market and it showed that the battery was charged to 100%.
It also showed that I had 1 unread text message. When I went into messages all my old messages have been deleted
the only messages I have are the only unread (from my mobile provider) and all previous messages from them.
What happened to messages and what can that get back them?
Try a forced reboot. Hold down the home and Sleep/Wake buttons simultaneously for about 15-20 seconds , until the Apple logo appears. You won't lose anything.

My maintenance utility tells me that my prefetch folder files have been deleted.
Original title: prefetch files
My maintenance utility tells me that files in my prefetch folder have been deleted... what it means and I can get them back or do I need to? Never heard of these before
These things are scams if you paid for it. They do nothing good for you. I recommend that you stop using it because it does not speed up your computer. In particular the registry functions.
Don't worry about the prefetch files. They will reform.
The Prefetch files are there to make your programs start faster. In fact, I doubt that you can measure the amount of time with a stopwatch.
