How can I restart my MacBook after where the disc?
Hello
I have an old MacBook (2008 running 10.8.5) - which became slow despite doing so much relics of different things to try to solve it. I came to the conclusion, the needs of disk wiping clean and all reloading.
Although he is no longer my main machine, I want to keep it on to run my accounts.
I had a Time Machine backup. I backed up all my documents and files that I might need for double safety.
I am now ready to erase the disc. BUT I did not do this for years. I assume that the best way is to use disk utility?
After that I wiped the disk, how best to recover the OS on my laptop? Can I copy it over an external hard drive? What I must start the mac from the external hard drive and it will allow me to do this is that I simply copied the "System" folder on the hard drive external?
Any advice gratefully received.

1. you have to start over from another volume, including the recovery partition. If your backup Time Machine was made 10.8 or more recent, he going to have a recovery partition, but can otherwise be used as a startup disk.
2. If you used the recovery from a Time Machine backup partition, restore the backup of it. If you used a different recovery partition or an installation DVD, reinstalling the OS or restore your backup. If clone you your system on an external drive, the clone back; simply drag - copy the system folder or anything else will not work.

How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive?
How can I reinstall windows 7 after replacing the hard drive? do I have to call microsoft or I can retrieve it somehow to the old hard drive?
Well, that certainly puts a different point of view on this subject. There are data recovery services that can recover data from disks that have suffered from various types of failures. However, they are quite expensive. Unless the data is particularly useful, it is generally not useful.
If your Windows 7 is an OEM version, installed on the computer when you bought it, the manufacturer could have a recovery disk on sale. If it was a retail copy and you always have the appropriate product/serial number, you can get a DVD of their team of parts replacement.

How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?
How can I restart firefox with the same tabs and windows?
It is not in the file menu or tools. I get nothing when searching for help. FF still knows how to do it, say to update extensions.
I know that I can do by saving my session, coming out, reboot and restore the session but is there a single command to do this?
Thank you. -David
I have attached a screenshot showing how to select restore automatic session just above the setting of the Home Page where it says "When Firefox starts".
With this set, you can restart Firefox manually out using the menu-
- "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
- (menu bar) File > Exit
-and then restart Firefox.
If you want a real reboot with a click of button, you can check something on the Add-ons site: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/

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.
