• How to return to the previous screen on Pre apps? THETE´s no back button... just close the application and start over?

  for example with text messages once im in a conversation can how to return to the screen with all my converdations? It's the same with any of the apps, West no way to go back? should I always close the app and start again to go to the previous screen?

  You must not yet be aware of the gesture «back» It goes like this, the straight shot, left on the gesture area (the area below the screen, left and right of the Center button). You enter only at half way, and you can start on the right edge, or just left of the Center button.

  Become very familiar with this gesture he used all the time.

  There is also an option that you can activate by allowing a complete sweep in any direction will take you to the adjacent open card. I think that this gesture is set to off by default.

  Good luck.

  PS - In the application of Navigation of Sprint, I can't seem to leave the navigation once it starts. In other words, you must close the application and open again to define a new topic. I know two ways to issue the command to stop the navigation, but none of them work effectively.

  Thank you.

  E-mail address is removed from the privacy *.

  Help us understand what "I lost the ability to restore the system" actually mean for you...

  Are you unable to launch/open the system restore?
  Are you unable to create a new Restore Point manually?
  Your system restore calendar is empty dates?
  You preform a restore and get a message that has failed or nothing has changed?

  If the restore in safe mode will not do, keep reading:

  It would be useful to know a few things about your system:

  What is your system brand and model?

  Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, MSE, Panda, Trend Micro, CA, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, Comodo, etc..

  The question was preceded by a loss of power, aborted reboot or abnormal termination?  (this includes the plug pulling, buttons power, remove the battery, etc.)

  The afflicted system has a working CD/DVD (internal or external) drive?

  You have a genuine XP installation CD bootable, which is the same Service as your installed Service Pack (this is not the same as any recovery CD provided with your system)?

  What do you see (exactly) that you don't think you should see, and when you see it?

  What do not you think that you should see?

  If the system works, what do you think might have changed since the last time it did not work properly?

  they do it for a nominal cost of $

• Satellite A210-184: How can I restore the OS?

  Hmm... strange...

  anyway... I bougth this computer a few years ago, and now I want to format it, but since the CD drive broke down near after buying the computer ive not been able to do a restore using my CD

  So I borrowed an external Cd-rom drive... and yet it does not start from him...
  I tried all the possible solutions can be found on the internet, and yet it is not possible...

  When I try to restore from a previous backup, I can't restore factory default, even when I choose the partition hidden... as there is no files on it... apparently its empty...

  I tried the press C, 0, repair F8 and everything... won't let me...
  When I reach the menu and press the last option "restore windows to defautl" it just says: "If the files are damaged or corrupt, please use Witch of the cd provided with your computer..." This option is to press OK (not then like some said guides)... and brings back me to the original menu...

  I tried the "full pc recovery", but I get the message "theres no directory valid blah blah blah, insert the CD rigth and or a HARD drive or select the backup location ', but it won't let me select any other directory...

  So overall...

  Cannot restore from the hidden partition and cannot restore from cd when even he supposed to work...
  Cannot install xp on it, Vista is blocked... and cannot restore factory default...

  So overall... I received a computer witch is more or less just useless in vu and im really consider throw it...

  I can not recommend the purchase of a toshiba from this point on... his purchase as a cat in a bag...

  Hi dude

  > I can not recommend the purchase of a toshiba from this point on... his purchase as a cat in a bag...
  I put t agree with you.

  First of all I m owner of the satellite A210 as well and my laptop work properly since the first day.

  My A210 was not equipped with HARD drive recovery option, but there was a tool preinstalled called creative recovery disk Toshiba that helps create the recovery disk.

  If you want to retrieve the laptop, you need to boot from the recovery disc and should follow the instructions on the screen. All that s!

  If you are not able to boot from the disc then your ODD (CD/DVD) drive may be defective.
  This means that you need to replace the ODD.

  But note; not all dimensions are compatible because different master/slave/c-salt settings
  And this isn't just a case for Toshiba laptop, but for all mobile phones from different manufacturers!
  Ratings slimline don t support no rider, but are controlled by the firmware software and, therefore, you should choose one compatible

  You can also read a user manual are enough details and information about the recovery process so well in most cases, reading allows you to get more information

• How can I restore my default browser

  I have problems with my email Go Daddy account. Go daddy said that I need to restore my default browser. I already deleted my history, cookies and cache settings. How can I restore firefox default.

  I'll answer that in a few minutes, but first of all, what is the problem you are having with the account?

  What the function of Firefox Reset done that create a folder of fresh settings, carrying over your bookmarks, saved passwords and some other information but shedding some of your add-ons (extensions and themes) and custom settings. It's quick and easy, but in some cases, you can lose information, such as groups of tabs, it's important to you. This article contains more information: Refresh Firefox – reset settings and Add-ons.

  To see if a reset is likely to help until you do, you could test email from GoDaddy in a totally blank Firefox profile. A new profile inherits the plugins already installed on your system, such as Flash, but otherwise, will look like a new installation. If this does not resolve the problem of GoDaddy, then it is useless to do a reset.

  If you want to try this, close Firefox and starts in the Profile Manager, as described in this article: use the Profile Manager to create and delete profiles Firefox. Any time want spending profiles, close Firefox and come back to this dialog box. I recommend that you use the suggested default location, do not delete anything without first making backups.

  The site works as expected in the new profile?

• I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive?

  I have a mac pro 3.1. How can I transfer the system to a new and bigger drive? The old drive is much too small.

  I'm not familiar with your model computer, but there are several ways to do so.  If the computer can accommodate multiple disks, you can install the new drive next to the former.  If she does not accept another disk, you can in these external adapters for about $30, which allow you to attach a bare drive to a computer with USB.  Then, you clone the internal drive to the new. Cloning is a special form of the copy.  It copies all files including startup system files so that your new drive is essentially identical to the first.
