  • had to install the new operating system and bookmarks are gone

    Hiya. I had problems with the computer and the fix was to install a new operating system (windows 7 it was old, windows 8 is the new). Most of my old files make the switch, but when I downloaded firefox, my favorites have disappeared. I looked in my profile in the menu, but it's the profile that I created today by downloading firefox. Where can I find my old profile? Any help is greatly appreciated! Thank you, Billy

    Was this an upgrade of type "on the spot" where your user folder

    C:\Users\youroldusername\
    

    was intact, or did you end up with a new user folder? In the case of a new user folder, you will find a folder named

    C:\Windows.old\Users\youroldusername\
    

    If so, your Firefox data are probably here - and here's how I suggest to access:

    First of all, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

    Then click in:

    Username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

    Note: there is a cache under AppData\Local folder, but everything important is under AppData\Roaming.

    Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably one you want to restore.

    This post has my suggested procedure to resurrect these data in your new installation of Firefox. Please note the use of the copy instead of move throughout the process. This allows you to try again if it fails somewhere along the way.

    https://support.Mozilla.org/questions/1024189#answer-638319

    A little luck?

    Note that if you really ONLY want to bookmark, copy the last two backups of the old bookmarkbackups folder to a location such as the desktop, see the following article (you will use 'Choose file' in the menu to access these backups): restoring bookmarks from a backup or move them to another computer. Note that this process will replace all new bookmarks that you may have saved since installing Firefox again. If you need to preserve those, first use the export feature: Export Firefox bookmarks to an HTML file for backup or transfer bookmarks.

  • I upgraded my computer, the new operating system on a new hard drive. Want to get my favorites on Firefox off my old drive, but can't find the file.

    I upgraded my computer, adding a second hard disk for a new operating system and kept the old drive as a data disc. I assumed that I could install Firefox on the new disk and import my favorites from the old installation of Mozilla on the old disk. I can't find the files on the old drive with my favorites. They're still here, or when I reinstalled Firefox, I lost everything even if it was on another drive? I can't find the backup on the old disk files and want to restore my old favorites. Is it possible to do this?

    You must find your profile folder in the old drive, the way in which must be:

    1. First display the hidden files and folders:

    2. Then go to:
      • < old drive >: \AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles \Users\ < username >
    3. Enter in your profile, and then enter the folder bookmarkbackups .
    4. Copy the latest file from json (backup of bookmarks)
    5. Then restore from them:
  • synchronization of bookmarks on the new operating system

    Computer work migrated to a new operating system (XP to W7), I created an account to sync to save bookmarks and versions etc. the installation. How can I get my info on the computer? I tried "Pair the device", but this is the same computer, and the option does not work.

    Hello vanaya2002, firefox sync was not primarily as a backup service, but to keep multiple devices on the same plane.

    in order to access the data in your sync account, you would need three elements: user name, the password and the recovery key that is generated when the original configuration of the account.

    where you have all these three pieces of information, you can go to firefox > options > synchronization > sync Setup > I have an account > I don't have the camera with me to link firefox to your existing account.

  • System backup Image against the system recovery disks

    Hello

    I'm new to the system recovery things and I have a question...

    I just bought a new computer laptop m7-1015dx of Pavilion and need to do system recovery discs... (which I realize restore laptop to factory default)... BTW, I have already created the system repair disc.

    However, I read an article on creating a system backup Image allowing you to recovery if lost EVERYTHING, all your installed programs, etc.

    First Question:

    Can someone tell me if I do the backup IMAGE of the system...

    Do I still need to create recovery disk (mfg default) system also?

    The second Question:

    If I create system recovery disks can I still this Recovery Partition?

    I am really really wanting to partition my C:\ drive... it is huge

    In addition, I hate to see storage folders involved in system folders...

    Currently using a symbol/character to separate them.

    From now on, I can't partition the C:\drive all partitions are used as... Max is 4

    and I have 4... C:\drive, System Partition, Partition HPTools and recovery Partition.

    Any help or assistance would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the research.

    Best regards, Jenn

    Hi, Jenn:

    I'd certainly recovery disks because in the case of a hard drive failure, a recovery partition is unnecessary because it would be on the failed drive.

    Recovery disks will do the same as a recovery partition. Reinstall the operating system and programs supplied with your laptop.

    I have also copy off the coast of the C:\drive SWSetup folder and store it on a portable hard drive that contains all files Installer provided with your PC (except MS Office 2010 Starter).

    You can also make your own Windows 7 installation disc and have a nice bloatware without installing windows, and then install only the programs you want from the SWSetup folder.

    Here's how:

    If you can read the Microsoft windows 7 25-character product key, you can download simple Windows 7 ISO files to burn on a DVD for the version of windows that is installed on your PC, and which is listed on the Microsoft COA sticker on your PC case.

    Burn the ISO with the option to burn the ISO on your DVD burning program and burn it at the slowest possible speed that will allow your program. This will create a bootable DVD.

    Or use the installation of Windows 7 USB/DVD tool to compile the ISO file that you download from Digital River. Link and instructions below. You need a 4 GB flash drive to use the USB compilation method.

    http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msstore/HTML/pbPage.Help_Win7_usbdvd_dwnTool

    Use 25 characters on the PC product key to activate the installation.

    The key will activate a 32 or 64 bit installation.

    Then go to the support of the PC and driver page to install the drivers you need.

    Link to downloads ISO of W7 is below.

    http://www.mydigitallife.info/official-Windows-7-SP1-ISO-from-Digital-River/

    You can get rid of all the partitions you want to if you plan to use recovery or disc of Windows 7 installation method that I posted above.

    I write my product key and store them somewhere for more security that many people report that it fades if you keep the laptop on your lap a lot, and then you wouldn't be able to use the alternative method to install W7.

  • New operating system drivers has not transferred

    I recently bought a HP Pavilion DV7, product number: LW174UA #ABA of my friend and decided to install a new operating system on it. My boyfriend does me a lot about what was wrong with it, other that he ran a little slow. I thought it was pretty cheap and I could easily throw this topic, rather than use Windows 8.1 Windows 7 x 64 x 64 which he had installed on it earlier and use it as sort of a backup on my desk.

    I installed a new copy of Windows 7 Professional x 64 on it, and when the installation is complete, I noticed I could not access the internet or use usb drives. I went into the Device Manager and discovered that a handful of decives had the symbol explanation of warning yellow triangle next to them. I looked the problem quickly and noticed most of them had error Code 28. He told me I need to install the drivers for the parties.

    Well, that shouldn't be too difficult. I found the WiFi driver and installed. The problem has been resolved (temporarily) and I could access the internet.

    After searching through forums, I discovered that my usb problem can be many different questions. Then, I came to the conclusion that an updated service pack (since I couldn't find the usb drivers) should solve the problem. No, the usb drivers still have not been properly installed. In addition to this, the internet now truns on and outside. I'll have access for a few seconds and then my computer tells me that I have not any conntections.

    Is anyone know what I got wrong or where I can find drivers that might solve this problem?

    I already went to the site of HP drivers and installed most of the pilots. Things like the finger print scanner, that I am not too concerned by at the moment so I jumped on those.

    Hello:

    All the drivers you need are on the support page...

    http://h10025.www1.HP.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?OS=4063 & LC = on & CC = US & DLC = in & sw_lang = & Product = 5118761 #N503

    The problem is one of 3 controllers different usb 3 that could have been used in your machine.

    So for all the devices that need drivers, click on each of them and display the ID of the equipment for them.

    I will guide you how to find the hardware for the USB controller ID...

    Click on the USB controller needing a driver in Device Manager,

    Then click on the Details tab in the upper part of the window of the usb controller.

    Now, you see a drop-down list of property and it is set by default to the description of the unit.

    On this list and select the hardware identification label.

    After the first string of characters you see in the window.

  • I would like to go back to xp opperating system of my windows 7

    I would like to go back to xp opperating system of my windows 7

    The short answer is that you need to do an installation of Windows XP by booting from the XP CD and do a complete, 'new' install XP ofd. You must then install all the applications you want to use with it and all your user files (documents, photos, videos, music, & c).

    It is a good guide to clean XP install. There are others.

    http://michaelstevenstech.com/cleanxpinstall.html

    --------------------------------------------------------------------

    1. Depending on your needs, alternatives that removing Windows 7 - install XP system could better serve you:
    2. Run XP to 7's 'XP Mode '. Available only to users of Windows 7 Ultimate and professional.
    3. Launch XP 7 on a virtual machine. Usable by all using Sun Virtual Vox or VMware or similar.
    4. Set up a dual boot so that you can use a few times 7 and XP, others by starting the system that you need right here.

  • backup of the old system changed the type of operating system installation

    After backup all data to your desktop at home and move the backup file on the replacement computer that was running and had been activated, got backup and ran into problems.  The original pc was an OEM system with a valid OEM key and had been activated for years.  The new system is a renewed system which has an apparently valid cd and COA 'For refurbished computers' active fine and had been restarted several times after activation before the fiasco of the backup.

    After that I ran the backup recovery, system was restarted as planned, but when the time came to connect to windows, we encountered a problem of activation.  He said that the system should be activated.  I went ahead and put in the key that is attached to the system (the key for PC) refurbished, but he would go through.  I checked that I read the key from the sticker correctly several times and by two other people.  He would not suffer.  Just on a chance that the backup of the old system caused a little problem, I tried the OEM key that was on the original system.  He's been through.

    If the old system should simply be scrapped, I don't think anything, but it will be either made to disadvantaged youth, so I want to make sure that everything is always good about it and it is all above board.  In its current form of the key is now on two different systems.  What can I do to fix this?

  • Restoring a backup of new OS

    I was running Vista home on a laptop which had a damaged operating system. I did a complete backup of new a week earlier on an external hard drive. It is 45 GB of compresssed zip files. I ordered a new laptop running Windows 7, I can use migwix to transfer the backup either the old laptop (own OS installed) or a new. It will only transfer the back upwards as zip.folders.How can I retrieve all records and files at once so that I have a mirror at all on any laptop I want to, and it is better to transfer Vista to Vista (drive hard Ext. old laptop) and then portable again using migwiz. I tried to use system restore but ofc it does not recognize the backup of backup only as a folder, so it won't extract all files including data and settings. I tried to explain this as I can but I'm not an expert on everything. So if there is a simple solution which look at me, please be patient and enlighten me, thanks!

  • Windows 7 keeps Pro backup making new games to backup every 3-5 days

    I am backup on a network location. Windows backup is a new backup set every 3-5 days. (In Vista, backup did not this... I did manually every month 1-2).

    It's take a lot of hard drive space and does not allow me to keep older backups (and versions of file) as long as I would like. Is there a way to stop the backup to do this automatically?

    Moreover, it happens on both my and my wife's Windows 7 Pro machines. I paid the extra money twice for the right Pro version for this backup app works on my network.

    Is there a setting somewhere that I'm missing? This feature would be nice if he did this every 30 days or more. Not every 3 days. Please notify.

    Thank you.

    I got around that a bit. Here's what I do...

    I have a laptop HD (250 GB) I do a full backup on via USB, including image system, once a month. Then use the NAS (1 TB) disk for daily backups, * NOT * including the image of the system.

    It works much better (without accidents or mistakes of mystery), faster, takes up less space and its backup sets new not create nearly as often. I did this about 3 months now and I'm getting a complete new only once a month right after I save it to your portable drive.

    So, if I get a crash, I can restore from the portable drive frist. Its much faster than over the network as well. Then just update the new or changed files through the network backup.

    Now, just to clarify, you need to change backup settings to local disk backup, USB, then change again once it's done to get on the network.

    My daughter has a Mac. Here's how it saves.

    (1) plug the USB HD it uses for backup.

    (2) IT NOT THERE NO STEP 2! Time Machine does it all. so easy.

    It then, I would like to think I didn't need Windows for some things. Quicken on the sucks Mac, MLS (real estate site) does not work in Safari and Outlook for Mac leave much to be desired. I would like to switch to Mac in a blink of an eye. I can still the next time and dual boot via boot camp, only when I absolutely have to.

  • New layout systems

    Hi all

    11.2.0.1

    AIX 6.1

    We are implementing the new "billing system" on PROD.

    For security reasons, we have assigned each role in database systems to a "nominee" for the verification of the accountability.

    For example, the following database user mapping is done:

    1 SYS - assigned to STEVE > its role is user standup/stop

    2 SYSOPER - attributing to NICO > its role is to backup/restore database

    3 SYSTEM - assigned to AMAN > its role is to create users and granted the necessary privilege

    4 BILL_OWNER - assigned to SYBR > he is the owner of all tables in the app. He grant select, insert, update, delete on the tables selected in the user defined app

    5 BATCH_USER - assigned to SAU > its role is to run the lot of treatment which updates the tables and generates reports and billing notice.

    6. the ASSESSOR - assigned to ED > it has a select, insert, update on certain tables.

    7 PROCESSOR - assigned to SCOTT > it has a select, insert, update on certain tables.

    8 ENCODERS - assigned to BILL > it boasts a select, insert on some tables.

    9 inquiries - assigned to SB0 > it boasts a select on tables.

    10. ETC. - assigned to KRIS > it has a select on all tables.

    Are the above basic features and roles? Missing functions / roles?

    Can you share me other roles of a systems of PROD TEMPLATES?

    Thank you very much
