Files lost after setting the new account on windows 8

Original title: files lost

Hello

I recently bought an old computer from a friend and the first months I just signed in as his name.  I saved some video files and photos for windows 8 connected under his name.  After a few months, I got tired of seeing his name at startup then I set up my own account.  When I did the whole upward, it says no files would be lost.

Now, Miss me all the files I had saved.  The only name that exists now on this computer, it is my own... my friends name disappeared.

I lost these files forever?  Is it possible to recover?

Thank you very much

Kadın Goldberg

Thank you.  I should have checked the trash.  I restored files.

    Hello

    I delete a user account on Windows Vista. After the deleted account, I can't access any files stored on my data disc (not c :), how can I access these data again?

    The data are very important to me. Help, please

    Hello

    Thanks for posting in the Microsoft Community.

    I appreciate that you try to recover the data after the deletion of the user account in Windows Vista.

    Since you've already deleted the user account, you would not be able to recover the data.

    However, you can use any third party to the data recovery software.

    NOTE: using third-party software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the use of third-party software can be solved. Software using third party is at your own risk.

    recently, I had my screen replaced as she had been struck on the cracked floor but since I got back my computer keeps randomly cutting and when I restart I am prompted to repair as it says that my computer was not able to start so I do and it says it could be due to a recent material added.

Although he did not he whilsti have been here and I started with the mode safe mode with internet?

    Hello

    Safe mode does not focus on the machine anywhere near as much as that of Windows. It certainly seems to
    be tied down, the repair and new screen or both.

    Take it back to the one who did the repair screen and have them repair it properly. Or take it to a real computer
    living room (not of leeks and glances at a Best Buy or other department stores) or system manufacturer support.

    I hope this helps.

  • WMA files disappeared after downloading the new version of ITunes

    Although the titles are there, it does not play any music and inserts an exclamation of the song. All of these files to go?

    Please read the instructions for the reconstitution of the library (I've linked to) once again. You should rename the folder Media Player , do not attempt to open the files in this folder.

    Also, in WMP, please right click on a hit song and select the location of the file to open . A window of the Explorer must be open, with the corresponding music file selected. Does it work?

    To play music files in Winamp, drag and drop from Windows Explorer in the Winamp playlist (and double-click the first point playlist), or right-click on a music file in Solution Explorer and select Open with - Winamp .

  • files and folders: How can I load all my files and folders to my new account of my external hard drive?

    Who can help, I just put a new account on my computer and deleted the old account. I backed up the old files on my external hard drive. I want to know is how can I load all my files and folders to my new account of my external hard drive? I thank you for your time and knowledge have a very nice evening, Shawn

    Because it's a new account (even if with the same name), the restore procedure is unable to put files and folders in the same place, they came (because this place technically no longer - if yes, then the process is done and the transfer is complete). It can create a set of separate files (maybe even under a new user name, if it has been stored in this way).  If so, all you need to do is copy the data as you would copy any other files and folders (not the main files of the user profile themselves but the data in them) on the new files in your user account and who will take care of the transfer. Here is more information about the restore procedure which may help you in the process.

    Here is an article on the restore procedure:http://www.vista4beginners.com/How-to-restore-files to make sure you do this right.  It's a selective restore of a full or selective backup (not a full restore from a full backup) - but since you did a full backup, it matches your process more closely than would a full restore.

    This is a GREAT article on the backup and restore processes in Vista http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/magazine/2007.09.backup.aspx , but he won't go into detail about the restoration process - considering almost as easy, of course.  But it teaches you a lot about what is possible and how to do it.  It also focuses primarily on the full backup process, but he did mention the full backup and restore process as well.

    Here is an article on the advanced use of restoration (during normal restore does not work):http://www.mayankraichura.com/post/2009/08/06/Avdvanced-Restore-via-Windows-Vista-Backup-and-Restore-Center.aspx.

    I also found the following (but don't know if it of true or not):

    1. after the start of "backup and Restore Center."

    2. I chose "Advanced Restore"

    3. I was did not an administrator password... maybe because my account is an administrator account.

    4 choose "files from a backup made on a different computer.

    5. in the dialog box indicating "Select the location of the backup to restore", select "hard drive, CD or DVD...". »

    6. under the drop-down list box, select your drive/partition and continue

    7. If all the backups on your drive, it will show a list of them.

    8. in my case, he showed a backup, but in the backup location, it will show "backup location is not available."

    9. I was frustrated, but then I somehow just select this backup (Yes... even if he said that thebackup location is not available " ")

    10. and you press "next".

    11 guess what... no error!

    12. a window appeared asking me if I wanted to do a full restore, or I want to select specific folders or files.

    13. I selected the folders I wanted to restore and bingo... it their restored smoothly.

    14. so that the next time see a mistake, try to continue with him... ;)

    I don't know if this will help, but it does not provide much information about the process (when it works).

    I hope this helps.

  • How to set the new tab to open a homepage

    After the recent update to version 44.0.1 I lost the ability to open a new tab and open the new tab homepage. Someone can help me.

    Thank you

    Do you mean when you open a new tab, you want to see your regular home page instead of the page of the new integrated tab on Firefox?

    41 of Firefox is no longer uses the browser.newtab.url setting in about: config because he was constantly attacked by malware. From 41 of Firefox, you need an add-on to change the new tab page.

    Here are a few options (I'm learning more all the time):

    • If you are already using the "Restorer of classic theme" or "Tab Mix Plus" extension: There is an option somewhere (!) in his dialogues of the parameters to select another page in the new tab.

    Use only one of these methods at the same time, otherwise there may be conflicts and dysfunctions.

    Setting up substitute new tab and new tab custom

    After installing one of these extensions, you must use the Options page to set the new desired tab page (instead of use subject: config).

    Open the page modules using either:

    • CTRL + SHIFT + a (Mac: Cmd + shift + a)
    • "3-bar" menu button (or tools) > Add-ons

    In the left column, click Extensions. Then on the side right, find the new tab replace or custom new tab and click on the Options button. (See first screenshot attached).

    New tab Override

    Depending on the size of your screen, you may need to scroll down to enter the address in the form. (See second screenshot attached). For example:

    • (Default) page thumbnails = > subject: newtab
    • Blank tab = > subject: empty
    • Built-in Firefox homepage = > topic: welcome
    • Any other page = > full URL of the page

    Then tab or click this form field and you can test using Ctrl + t.

    Custom new tab

    It is easy to enter your favourite homepage address. If you check either of the boxes, the expansion will set the focus in the page as well, for example, the cursor will be in the Google search box. (See third screenshot attached). I had to leave Firefox and start it up again before new custom tab started working, but this may have been due to tests so many extensions back to back.

    Success?

  • PC Pavilion laptop: no sound on Pavilion g6 after installing the new battery CMOS

    I have a Pavilion g6z - 1 d 00 CTO Notebook PC, model A2F43AV number.  It came with Windows 7 Home Premium, and I upgraded the operating system to Windows 7 Pro (64 bit).

    The problem is that I did not sound, either through headphones or the speakers even if the Volume is set at 55. I first noticed the audio problem after replacing the CMOS battery, as the laptop is 4 years old and he gave me intermittent wireless connectivity problems.  After installing the new battery CMOS, I noticed the wireless driver was missing and downloaded/installed.  Everything was fine except the audio.  Then I reset the BIOS but nothing there as the BIOS version is v.49, and it is the most recent.

    I have also downloaded/installed the driver audio and rebooted the PC.  Still, there is no noise.

    Finally, I have checked the audio drivers and the reporting system they work without any problem.

    What should I do next?

    Thanks, Terry

    I was under the impression that these links would take you to guide step by step, however, it seems that they do not work,

    However, I have provided details below:

    To perform a hard reset on a computer equipped with a removable battery, follow these steps:

    1. Turn off the computer.

    2. Remove the computer from the docking station or port replicator.

    3. Disconnect all external devices from devices such as USB, external displays storage devices and printers.

    4. Disconnect the power adapter from the computer.

    5. Remove the battery from the compartment to batteries.

    6. Press and hold button power for about 15 seconds, remove any residual electric charge capacitors that protect memory.

    7. Insert the battery and plug the power adapter into the laptop, but do not connect peripheral devices.

    8. Press the power button to turn on the computer.

    9. If a boot menu appears, use the arrow keys to select start Windows normally and then press the Enter key.

    10. After you have reconnected each peripheral device, run Windows Update and HP Support Assistant to update all device drivers.

    Will be the new account sync Firefox (PC) with my old Firefox Home (iPhone), if yes how?

    I have to update my sync Firefox Home for iPhone app? He is currently using my old account.

    Thank you

    Firefox Home was removed from management, while the new sync system has been developed, so no, it will not work with the new system. However, we are currently working on a new product for iOS, which will be able to sync with Firefox in the future using the new system.

    As is the case, update your Firefox to the new synchronization method (synchronize your bookmarks from Firefox, history, passwords, etc.).
