• 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.

  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.

  Good luck!

• How can I restore my computer encrypted bitlocker to an external hard drive for bitlocker encrypted after main disk failure?

  I backup that my bitlocker encrypted computer running vista ultimate on an attached USB harddrive external also encrypted by bitlocker.  I have the password both on a USB stick and written down.

  You can restore to normal full image (well close to normal) just using the USB Flash drive and a hard disk formatted, white (with a system partition at least as large as the partition which it replaced)- and, of course, the backup drive.  I see no reason why a bitlocker recovery will be different - after all, it's just not added encryption process (although the exact procedure may vary because you may need to supply a password to authenticate the restore function and decrypt the files as they are restored - that's why it doesn't happen on the CD).  Of course, this means that you must have done a full image backup using bitlocker (not a full backup or a file backup).

  Good luck and I hope this helps. Lorien - a - MCSE/MCSA/network + / A +.

• I lost my Skype contacts when I detached and linked to my account of Ms. How can I restore my contacts?

  Recently, I posted and linked to my MS account for the unknown problem of 'conversation', but that leads to a problem even more serious where I lost all of my Skype contacts.

  I have experienced support and there is no solution, they can give me. They did a restore of my supposed deleted contacts, but that did not help. They can't check if a Skype name that I provide figure in the restored list. The proposed support is to search and add contacts. I tried with only 3 and I dropped, every name has like 30 entries and 5 of them seemed to be possible contacts.

  All the world faced this problem before and managed to resolve it?

  I thought that I would lose my MSN contacts, has ended until I lose my Skype contacts. Blows my mind when linking and disassociate an external set of contacts delete contacts from the original application. This whole experience is the worst ever using software.
  
  But thanks for the clarification, at least it puts a closure to my trip, search for solutions.

• How can I restore my contacts in my 6 new iPhone?

  Before buying my new 6 iPhone, I backed up my iPhone 4S on iTunes.  When I connect my new phone to restore contacts, I get this message "the"iPhone"iPhone cannot be used because it requires a newer version of iTunes.  Go to www.itunes.com to download the latest version of iTunes. "  In my iTunes, I went into preferences and clicked on "check for updates".  He runs the test and told me 'the version of iTunes (12.1.2) is the current version.  Any suggestions on what I should do next?

  The latest version of iTunes is 12.3.2.  Your Windows Update system does not correctly (no surprise).  Go to the Apple iTunes website, download 12.3.2 and install.

• How can I restore my desktop icons and the taskbar icons

  I tried to open a file with a program's .lnk and her was not recognized in the program, and now my desktop icons and my icons to the taskbar was converted into icons for the program. How to get this back? I need to know how to do this in Windows 7.

  [Moved from comments]

  There are some patches for the issue that you siding, but most of them requires registry changes that I do not say that they can cause several other problems. I recommend that you perform a system restore.

  There are two ways to perform the system restore:

  Menu start open, click Run and type cmd to open the command prompt.

  Type CD... to book only c:\.

  Type windows CD then CD System32, and then restore.

  After once, you'll find yourself in c:\ windows\system32\restore >

  Type restrui.exe press ENTER.

  Once the system restore the open window then click on next to select any available restore point.

  This process takes a few minutes to do the restore and please make sure that once this process has begun there wont be reversible and or you will lose all personal data.

  Another way to perform the system restore is to open the safe mode by clicking on F8 at startup and check the option of safe mode, then still a dialog box opens to ask the system restore and then follow the steps above.
