How can I access my backup Windows folders and files?

Windows 7 backup backs up on my external hard drive such as requested, but I can't access records & I backed up files! I tried clicking on restore and then go, but the issues that arise are just a few of the ones I checked for backup, & generally much older than the ones I saved. Any suggestions?

You are not intended to consult them directly - use the backup program to restore the backup files.

  • How can I specify the options of folders and files to memory cards in LR4?

    Hello!

    I read the sections Set import and file management preferences and settings to specify Auto Import in the manual. But they do not seem to answer my question. Other things that are written about importing files in Lightroom seem to relate only to importing photos to the Lightroom Catalog, that is not my main concern, although I do not want them imported into the catalog as well. But before the pictures can go to the Lightroom Catalog, they need to be improted, in other words copied from the memory card on the local hard drive. In short, all I want is for Lightroom to take over the responsibility of Canon EOS Utility and behave in the same way during the import/copy of the files on the local hard drive. How is Lightroom sets for this?

    I want to just this type of file and folder structure:

    J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0037.JPG

    J:\2010_08_02\IMG_0039.JPG

    J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.CR2

    J:\2010_08_22\IMG_0372.JPG

    J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.CR2

    J:\2010_11_29\IMG_1405.JPG

    J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.CR2

    J:\2011_06_17\IMG_2887.JPG

    ... etc!

    1. let's all start, where the heck can I specify the destination for the new photos folder?

    There is an option called see the import dialog when a memory card is detected under the general tab in Preferences, but there is no option of destination of the file associated with this.

    2. how can I tell Lightroom to leave the original file names as they are (i.e. IMG_2887.CR2) and place them in a new subfolder (i.e. 2011_06_17) in the destination folder (J:\), named after the date of the photo capture (17 July 2011)?

    There are a few options on the management of the files tab in the Preferences, but they do not seem to affect the import of files on the local hard drive.

    3 it maybe should have been the first question really. Lightroom is able to import files from the camera or card to the local hard disk drive at all?

    Of course, I expect to be able to do, but from the looks of him, I'm not too confident in this respect.

    To begin I would just copy my picture files, directly from the camera or a card reader in a destination folder of my choice, in the same way as Canon EOS Utility it. I didn't wat to simply import the files into the Lightroom Catalog and start working with the files directly from the camera or memory card. Hell no! It is not an external drive for the love of God!

    Please advise!

    I think what you want is on the right side of the screen import, down. There is a Destination area. It can be reduced. Just click on the small triangle next to 'Destination' to develop. Everything you need is there.

    The installation of Windows 8 on a drive separate partition/logic will not affect any aspect of your Windows 7 Professional system. You will need to install all the applications for use with Windows 8 on this system with the system of Windows 8 running. Some people, it is useful to create yet another disk partition separated/logic for their documents, pictures, videos and files of the user. Thay can be shared between the two systems, open and modified either by, according to the needs.

  • How can I get rid of Windows 7 and go back to XP - win7 is undesirable software incompetent

    I've been using win7 for several months. This software is absolutely hostile user. It was a lousey experience. On the first day, the transfer of file file system messed up all my file from my old machine systems. I can't find things on the control panel - device driver - search functions file - everything which is rather well established since win 3.1 looks now like a block of lead tied to my ankles. Designed, documented in a suitable way for geeks only, and not the average user of semiskilled... I don't have the patience for this nonsense.

    "Designed, documented in a suitable way for geeks only and not the average user semi-skilled."

    It's funny you should say that. Monopoly$ often tried in fact their toughest excessive Windows
    for the 'average' user, but somehow they have actually managed to make it more complicated.
    There is always and will always be a couple of things that I hate about Win7, my pet hate is not
    able to turn off the reorganization in the records. Although there is a solution for this, it can be a little awkward
    to use as you can hide folders/files if you accidentally drop it another folder/file on top of it.

    In addition to the suggestions of Cameron - for that old time feeling you can also use
    Windows Classic view (simple R/click on the desktop and select "Personalize" from the context menu).
    Still, I prefer this and do not use the libraries either.

    A good feature is that you can "pin" folders to the icon in Windows Explorer in the taskbar,
    so I pinned my account username as well as my other most often used records here.
    To do this, you just use the option ' send to ' and send a shortcut to the records in question to
    the desktop computer. Then, just drag and drop this icon WE shortcut.
    Right-click for a list. You can make only a limited number of shortcuts here though.
    -For .exe shortcuts, you must use the toolbar of office available on the right end of the taskbar.

    As with XP there are loads of tips and third-party applications settings to best Win7
    to your personal taste. Here are a few links to get you started-
    Windows 7 Articles, tips and Guides: how-to Geek
    Win7 ABC - great list of tutorials Windows 7 by MVP Shawn Brink! (in alphabetical order)

    BTW - Win7 is an OS better than XP. Better management of memory, more stable, and if well managed facility will work for years. My Win7 is three years old and was even "imaged" from another machine with a completely different hardware. Try that on XP.
    -8 Win is supposed to be a very good OS.
    While Win8 also attracts a lot of hate from PC users due to its user interface. MS apparently decided that if Win8 will not be the new Dodo Vista they will have to bend to the pressure of the user and release a new version - 8.1 with a friendly user interface more PC.  Intel has even designed their new processor around 8.1 to win.

  • How can I download the backup on Mac and then restore it via iTunes?

    The STRP to restore stuck on "remaining time: estimation...» "So I would like to download the backup on my Mac and then restore it via iTunes.

    This can be caused by a corrupt existing backup that should be deleted, or data on the device that causes the backup fails.  To resolve these issues, try to clear your last backup (if you a) by disabling the iCloud backup in settings > iCloud > storage and backup, and then press on managing storage, type on your device under the backups, and then click Delete backup.  Then go back and turn iCloud backup and try to save again.

    If it don't always make a backup, you may have an app or something in your camera roll which causes the backup fails.  To find one, go to settings > iCloud > storage and backup > manage storage, tap the name of your device under backups under tap Backup Options show all Apps, turn them all off (including film) and then try to save again.  If the backup was successful, then the camera or one of your applications is originally the backup fails and you must located by the process of elimination. Turn on the film and retry backup.  If it succeeds, some of your applications to turn on and try saving again.  If it succeeds once again, turn it back on a few apps more then try; Repeat this process until it fails.  Finally, you will be able to locate the app problem and exclude from your backup.

  • Right click mouse to drag and drop or rename folders and files does not work

    For a few weeks now, I had problems with the right click function to drag - move files and folders, or rename files and folders. This happens when I use windows Explorer or access to the computer and click thruogh for a feature. He can't go to all the folders and files, but many. I can't right click on these folders or files to change the sharing because explore closes and restarts on the desktop with a right-click. Manifest error "appcrash" reason. I have Norton Security suite installed and neither Norton or your fix program detects a problem.

    Please notify.

    Have you installed or removed/uninstalled all hardware or software or drivers since just before the start of this problem (if so, exactly what - name, version, device, whatever)?  Norton take any infection, although it is said that he cleaned their since just before the problem started?  If so, you know the names of these infections?

    Do you know when this problem started?  Try a system restore to a point in time BEFORE the problem started.  Here is the procedure: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-windows-vista-system-restore/.  Don't forget to check the box to show more than 5 days of restore points.  If the first attempt fails, then try an earlier point or two.  NOTE: You will need to re - install any software and updates that you have installed between now and the restore point, but you can use Windows Update for updates.  It's been a while so I'm not sure that you have a fairly old restore point but it is possible - hopefully.

    Are these files and folders in your user profile?  If Yes, your user profile may become corrupted (in fact, if can still be corrupted if the folders are not there).  To fix this use http://windows.microsoft.com/en-AU/windows-vista/Fix-a-corrupted-user-profile.  If that is the only available Administrator Profile (you need to be an administrator to fix this), enable the Hidden Administrator Account (HAA) using http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/en-us/default.aspx?&lang=en&cr=US&guid=&sloc=en-us&dg=microsoft.public.windows.vista.administration_accounts_passwords&p=1&tid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055&mid=d20f9db4-7b2c-48be-a087-7835dc2a9055.  If you don't remember the password, try nothing because that's probably what you (or seller) did during the installation.  Once that is done, don't forget to disable the HAA to save it in case it is necessary once again and for safety reasons (since people often try to hack into systems using this account).  Do NOT use the HAA as your administrator account because if you lose the only administrator on the system account or it is damaged again, then you're watered.

    We will check some of your system files and hard drive for ccorruption that may be the cause:

    Go to start / all programs / accessories / command prompt and right click on command prompt, and then click Run as administrator.

    Type sfc/scannow, go and let it run.  It will scan and try to correct some of your system files.  If all goes well he comes complete with no corruption, it could not repair (if it has these post of corruption here or try to analyze it to find the problem or files using http://support.microsoft.com/kb/928228.  Try to put all the corrupt files here so that we can see if they can be repaired with good copies of the installation disc (unless there are too many).

    While in the command prompt, type chkdsk /f /r and enter and let it run.  She might want to plan itself to start at the next startup.  Okay, then restart so that the program can run. It will scan and attempt to resolve any corruption or bad sectors on your hard drive and remove especially as a potential cause.

    Please checkwith the manufacturer to find out if there is a mouse driver updated (software or firmware) available for your make and model of mouse and your version of Vista.  Download and install to update the driver to the most recent available and see if that solves the drag and drop problem (even though I know that this will not affect the question of the name change).  Once you have the drivers, you can install them via the Manager device as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/193584-device-manager-install-driver.html.

    If it doesn't (or if SFC detects corruption it cannot repair), we you will need to do a repair/system upgrade using the Windows Vista Installation disc authentic (you own or that you can borrow from someone).  Here is the procedure: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/88236-repair-install-vista.html.  Although this will not affect your data, settings or programs, you should always back up your data before you start just be on the safe side. You can have a lot of updates to re - install (including all you need to remove service packs).  If the version of the system came with SP1 or SP2 preinstalled and the disc is an earlier version, then you will need to make a record of slipstream as follows: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/151606-vista-sp1-slipstream-installation-dvd.html.

  • How can I access my emails after the death of my PC. I had a pc using Windows Vista and I served my Windows Mail e-mail program.

    Disaster of Windows Mail.  Where are my emails please?

    How can I access my emails after the death of my PC. I had a pc using Windows Vista and I served my Windows Mail e-mail program.  The computer has stopped working so I removed the hard drive, put it in a case and now use it as an external drive.  My new computer, I took possession of the Documents and Settings folder, and I'm looking for emails.  I followed the path, Documents and Settings / / AppData / Local / Microsoft / Windows Mail but there are 2 folders, backup & stationery as well as a few small files.  Where I could hide my email? Please, I beg you.

    There should be a directory called local folders under the message store and eml files organized into folders named after the directories under this directory are.  They may be hidden files, so make sure that you have enabled the display of hidden files and folders under control panel | Folder options | View.  You can also try to search *.eml, because messages are stored as eml files.  See www.oehelp.com/backup.aspx#wm for background.

  • How can I access my music files through Windows Media Player?

    OK, here's the facts:
    I have Windows Vista.
    Most of my music in my music is missing.
    I can view and listen to the music of "missing" in Windows Media Player (library).
    In Windows Media player, if I click on a song and 'open file location' need me for my music, and the file is not there.
    Looking for songs via the start menu or through my computer does not work.
    MP3 audio files are also missing.

    Not having access to the original files, I can't add music files individually to my mp3 (Windows Media Player lets you synchronize files only, and I don't want to lose a part of the 'missing' files I have on my mp3 using the Sync feature).

    How can I access my music? Clearly, it is still on my computer somewhere since I can play through Windows Media Player.

    Step 1: Check what all records are controlled by the player. Then check these records, if the music file is present.
