    You can only choose the restore point in the list of restore points that are available in the system restore.

  • BlackBerry Z10 RESTORING EMAILS & SMS from a BACKUP

    Before I embark on an attempt to synchronize contacts from my boss about his Z10 using new long-awaited USB cable, I'm a little worried that this month of MAY just add another batch of the couple of thousands of contacts that I downloaded when we made the switch of the device, rather than updating them.

    So I did a backup first.

    However, I want to make sure that - the contact update goes horribly wrong! -the backup file has information in it, and I can't seem to find information on the link/site Web de BlackBerry on what contains the subdivisions listed under backup (Application data, media, settings).

    What is someone is able to confirm that emails and texts would indeed be listed under one of these positions, and that it would be relatively simple to restore if needed?

    Thank you very much!

    Hey jjlothin,

  • When I try to download a file from the internet, it shows that the download is complete but then disappears from the desktop. I can not open or save attachments in e-mail

    I am runing Windows 7 IE8 searching in Google, Microsoft Security Essentials that came pre-installed. I tried to disable the anti-virus (MSE), disabling the firewall, creating a new user account, safe mode, by saving the file on different locations, including a switching flash player. Looking for the file once downloaded, but there is no sign. I checked my file and check options "Show hidden folders". I can also view or open any e-mail attachments, pdf through Windows Live Mail i.e.excel... Help, please!

    You say you have win7 and yet you have posted to a group of Vista

    You cannot open an attachment unless you have the appropriate software installed, that is to say you need Excel or the excel reader in order to view an excel file.

    Looks like you've been juggling your win7 settings, you do not disable the firewall or disble MSE, or create a new user account.

    The default location for downloads using IE8 is C:\Users\'username'\Downloads

  • Restore from iTunes backup application corrupted

    I have an update application that can be bad and want to restore from a backup iTunes just that App. Is this possible and if yes, what is the process?

    Thank you. Best regards, R.J. Wilson

    Synchronize the iTunes app.  You may need to remove the application on the device first otherwise iTunes may think it's already there.  If it is a current application, you can also re - download it directly from the iTunes Store with your device via iCloud.

  • After restoring my computer and iTunes download, iTunes can not find my my music files.  They have to be in the specific format or a folder iTunes for a recognized?

    I had to restore my computer from the ground upward.  I save my music files and then reloaded after the system restore.  Then, I downloaded the latest version of iTunes.  But apparently iTunes can't find my music restored files.  I use a 10 newly installed Windows.  Y at - it a particular format to place the music files should be put in order for iTunes to see.  Or maybe a procedure that I did not follow properly.  Please notify.  Thank you.

    If you have registered to the iTunes library database files, launch iTunes with the SHIFT key is pressed and choose this library. If this isn't the case, slide the song files into the application window open iTunes or add it automatically in the iTunes folder.

  • Advantages and disadvantages need to restore my computer to its factory settings

    HP Pavillion Model a4310f with AMD Athlon II X 2 250 clocked (3 GHz) Win 7 64 bit Home Premium with 4 GB of RAM.  My C: Drive has free 495 GB of 585 GB.  I have a boot disk more system recovery DVDs all created when the system has been started.  I use Trend Micro Internet Security virus and spyware protection.

    Why restore?  Overall, the answer is wrong.  Installed programs take 15-20 seconds to start.  The Internet response is all too slow.  No significant improvement if I stop of Trend Micro.  I see more thumbnails of photos - just file names.  For always takes to spool a file to the printer (HP Deskjet F4280 all-in-One) and half the time the printer will not align when new cartridges are installed. I don't think I have too many installed programs, but there are a few that I would Setup not again.

    I had my Internet provider out there and everything checks out there - they deliver what I pay for (20 Mbit/s download and 1.30 MB/s upload).

    I better leave all as is or go back and re - install only the programs that I use regularly?

    Mitch

    Here are the specifications of your desktop HP Pavilion a4310f. According to the specifications, the computer is more than three years old. As time passes, a Windows installation can get cluttered with a messy registry, fragmented system of orphan files and folders/files.

    In my opinion, these elements can cause the problems you are experiencing. The pros to recover the computer to a factory State, is that the performance must be returned to love the day you set up your computer. The disadvantages include having to re-install your programs, many drivers and software updates, who need back up and restore your files and personal data, etc.. Once again, in my opinion, it would be worth the effort to recover the computer to a factory State. This should cure most, if not all of your problems.

  • If I save bookmarks manually and the place it on another computer, are also my passwords to connect to these bookmarks will be transferred?

    Hi guys! Hope you're doing great!

    I want to give some very important bookmarks to a colleague, but for most of them, I have the passwords saved in Firefox (Linux 14.0.4 LTS) 34.0.

    I am afraid that him giving the bookmarks that I have downloaded onto my PC from the option import and export bookmarks, also give passwords to connect to them.

    Is it that this will happen or it is authorized to send necessary bookmarks? I don't have another PC on which I can test that for the moment.
