  Looks like your user profile has been corrupted in some way and XP connected to a new profile.  This means that when you connect, you see one of your stuff and can be also lack all the other programs you may have installed previously.

  Note that the system restore do not know or care about the personal files on your system.

  Unless there's a disaster or instead of a system restore you done a system recovery files would be still on your system somewhere - you just find them... and when you find them, you can correct what happened.  If you have made a recovery of the system instead of a system restore, then all is lost and you need to recover from a backup.

  Have you performed a search of Windows to see if you can find some of these photos and files?    For example, you could search for something like "Resume.doc" or a file name that you remember exactly to see if it is anywhere on your system and where it is.

  Why don't you get in Windows Explorer and (assuming that XP is installed on your C drive), navigate to this folder:

  C:\Documents and Settings

  Below, you will see that each user on your system has their own folder for their personal belongings.  You will see also some folders listed user that you do not recognize, but that's normal.

  Under the folder of each user, there is another folder, as "Documents of Jose" and under this 'Jose music' and «De Jose Pictures»  Dig a little and check them all to see if you can find your missing stuff.

  Just take a look in the Control Panel, add/remove programs to see if "missing" programs are still installed, but all not available when you are logged in (you don't have to 'do' something - just look at).

  Assuming that you can find your missing stuff, determine where we (which will make feel you better knowing that it is not really gone), then report back and someone can help you straighten things.

• Upgrade windows 8 to 8.1 FF24 - lost all bookmarks. Help!

  With the help of FF24 for several days with windows 8. Today, after having "upgraded" to Windows 8.1, I lost all bookmarks. Interestingly, I also lost all my email in Thunderbird.

  I tried to import Firefox bookmarks from a windows vista without success machine. Try as a JSON file and HTML file.

  Before you go all bookmarks manually, I hope there is an easy solution.

  Thank you

  The Windows 8.1 update create a backup folder called C:\Windows.old? If so, your data can probably be found here:

  C:\Windows.old\Users\yourusername\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

  These items can help with exploration and the recovery process:

  Product: iCloud (library), iPhone on iOS 9.2.1 5s

  I turned off my iCloud by chance photo library and now all of my photos in iCloud went. Is it possible to find somewhere?

  Turn on again iCloud library unfortunately did not help.

  Is there someone who can help? Thanks in advance!

  Just turned off iCloud library should not delete your photos. However, if you went in to manage stock and selected disable and remove they would be deleted but they would stay at https://www.icloud.com/ for 30 days.

• I lost all THE photos on the upgrade

  Help!  All my thousands of pictures cannot be seen after I got an upgrade.  How can I go back?

  Hi reneeb,.

  Which version go you to?

  Upgrading does not delete images or the catalog.

  You must find the Lightroom catalog that contains all your changes.

  Look under the menu file > open recent item

  Kind regards

• Upgrade to El Capitan and Photos

  I have an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 2010.  I use iPhoto ' 09 v.8.1.2 for a library with 28 826 photos (67 GB).

  I want to upgrade to El Capitan.  I bought a copy of Photos for Mac and iOS: The Missing Manual to try to prepare.

  First step of the author for iPhoto to Photos to Mac migration is at level iPhoto to the latest version.  The catch-22 is that 9.6.1 has disappeared from the App Store and the author says that if you have not upgraded to iPhoto to 9.6.1 before you upgrade to OS X 10.3, iPhoto won't open at all.  My research of this forum seems to confirm that others have had the experience of not being able to update iPhoto, especially if they have never bought an iPhoto update in the App Store - I did not.

  So, which seems to mean that once I go to El Capitan, I no longer able to use iPhoto.  I can make it with that, but I still need to know the best way to prepare for the upgrade to avoid problems.

  27 October 2015 old Toad said to a person using an even older version of iPhoto, I am, ' you don't need to upgrade your iPhoto library, if everything you want to migrate to and use the new application Photos in El Capitan. "  It's reassuring.

  I know that the first step is a backup.  And I read that iPhoto, but also trash the Finder trash must be emptied.

  Is there anything else I need to do?

  When I upgraded to Snow Leopard to Lion mountain in February, old Toad advised me to first rebuilding my iPhoto library.  Integrated tool of Apple made a mess and I used iPhoto Library Manager version 3.2.4.  Is there a reason that I would need to rebuild the library again?

  Thank you!

  It's true.  9.6.1 iPhoto is the only version compatible with El Capitan.

  But you can't update iPhoto 8.1.2 to this version.  It is not a free update, but requires a purchase of iPhoto 11, and that is not possible any longer, because Apple has stopped selling iPhoto on the App Store.

  It would be wise to carry out all repairs - repair permissions, library, in order to ensure the iPhoto library has no problem to repair. It must be done before you upgrade the system, because it will be impossible to run iPhoto 9.8.1 after the upgrade, if you discover problems with the library.  But make a backup copy of the library, before fix it you. This way you can easily restore the original library, if repair should go wrong.

  I know that the first step is a backup.

  Make a full backup - a Time machine backup or a bootable clone.  Then you can restore your system, if you should encounter any problems with El Capitan.  See: OS X El Capitan: revert to a previous version of OS X

  Where your iPhoto library that Library stored?  If it's on an external drive, move it to a disc, it's to the Mac OS extended (journaled) format. Otherwise the Migration to pictures does not work.

  Photos does not yet support lot changing like iPhoto.  If you need batch change titles to the date or the name of the file do while you still use iPhoto.

  Complete all projects book or calendar in iPhoto, because the book and calendar templates have changed and books may be different in Photos.
