• try to change file type: I have Win 7 and unable to convert a file from m4a to m4r

  I have Win 7 and unable to convert a file from m4a to m4r. Whenever I do this the file name gets extended example:

  whitechristmas. M4A is the name of the original file, and I am wanting to convert it to whitechristmas.m4r.  However, when you try to change the type of file it changes the name to whitechristmas.m4r.m4a.  It also has a problem when I try to convert a .txt to. doc.  It turns into. doc.txt

  Is there a work around what I can do.  There is one if you are working with sharepoint files, or a server, but because it is just a file on my hard drive I'm lost and aggravated.

  Thanks in advance!

  The default value is only to change the name and not the extension. You can replace it by moving your cursor with the mouse, end, home or arrow keys and by changing the file type.

  Windows notifies you of any adverse effects if you change the extension, but you can ignore the warning if you know what you're doing.

• trying to set up my backup files will be stored on copy c drive: but the only option is the dvd player

  try to set up my backup files will be stored on my drive c: internal, but the only option available is the dvd/cd drive how can I store on my drive c an option?

  Windows cannot save the C: partition (which is where Windows is installed) on the C: partition.

  (2) install another hard drive (better, but always sensitive to corruption in car during power failres or other problems)

  Hi all

  I found the solution to my problem - cannot restore Windows XP backup file (BKF) files.

  Site Web Sysinfo Tools offer tools to repair/restore BKF utility.  In my case, I got the program of BKF recover V2.0.  Program works on all versions of Windows (up to Windows 7).

  BKF recovery program reads Windows XP generated backup file, repair and then restore the files, very fast and efficient.

• Win 7 - cannot restore some files from a successful backup

  I recently bought a new laptop with Win7.

  I managed to restore all my important files to a backup of my old computer which was under Vista.

  When you try to restore my emails from the old vista computer, although I can see the files in the backup file real (using the tool of restoration provided by Win 7), after the execution of restoration, it is said that the restoration was successful, but the records seem to be empty and that's why I can't download my old emails to my new computer that represents a major problem for me.

  I noticed that, well I can see the folder Windows Mail in the file backup using the restore backup Win 7 laaredj, the folder that corresponds to Windows Mail seems to be on a color much clearer than the other files, however, if I double click on it, I can navigate and see its contents, but nothing is restored.

  Can anyone help? I would certainly appreciate any ideas, I tried to recover individual files, the entire file, one together records, tried to use different locations for the restored files but nothing seems to work. All other files in the same backup have been restored without problem.

  Thank you!

  Hello

  Check if by chance the folder you are trying to restore is hidden (as you say that the folder is located in a color lighter than other folders).

  To verify the folder property

  (a) right click on the folder

  (b) select checking properties of the attributes.

  Try to restore the folder on another computer and check if it is successful.

  Hope this information is useful.

• New motherboard new OEM Win 7 but how do you reload old applications/data backup image.

  Hello

  I had my motherboard die so have succeeded him and tried to reload a disc image saved, but this failed. When I looked inside, I found that I cannot use my copy of Win 7 (OEM) as a new motherboard is considered a new PC. Boring, but I understand so I got a new OEM copy and loaded it very well and now the PC works fine.

  Now, I want to be able to restore my old applications and data, but the backup I includes the old OEM Win 7 if I restore it I have the same problem again.

  Any ideas?

  Michael

  If she cannot reload, you'll just reinstall your applications manually and restore your files. If you have used the Image of the system to save the old installation, you can mount the image as a .vhd and retrieve your personal files.

  Also noted that it is the motherboard that is dead. What hard drive? It should always be bootable although you change the motherboard.

  I'm trying to import and backup/restore/Choose file... / after backup correctly and I see the file, but there is no JSON extension. What can I do?

  I backed up my favorites using 'import and backup/Backup' on an external HD, installed Windows 10 and went to restore my bookmarks and noticed the file named "Firefox bookmarks-2015-09-04"had no extension and does not work."

  Please advise! Thank you! Sincerely, s

  If you add the .json extension, it works then? Why people who design browsers or extensions them do create files with no extension name, in spite that these extension names are essential to make the files can be restored? I could never understand that.

• Problem restoring previous version of FF bookmarks, "Unable to process the file of backup.", already tried to delete "places.sqlite".

  I reformatted and reinstalled Windows 7 on a computer that has not been used for about a year. Before wiping the HARD drive, I saved Firefox bookmarks in the form of a .json file (I don't know what version of FF was installed on the computer before, but I know it was at least a year).

  After reinstalling Windows and install Firefox 24.0, I tried to restore the bookmarks using the "Bookmarks-> import" and backup-> restore-> Choose File... "option. I get the error says "Failed to process the backup file."

  I tried to search for this problem but I couldn't find anything precise. It sounds ridiculous because I just installed FF, I tried to delete the file "places.sqlite" based on other similar problems, but that did not fix the problem.

  My only thought is that it must be a problem with incompatible versions of FF bookmarks. Is it possible to recover bookmarks in the .json file?

  Oh my god. I removed the comma, who pointed out the error report and file and bookmarks have been restored!

  How this comma go?

  Thank you for linking me to the validation tool. It has been extremely helpful.

• Cannot restore bookmarks. "Unable to process the backup file." I tried all of the solutions that I can find online.

  I am under W7 and 14.01 FF. My FF admin account works fine. My work account has problems. In the past I was able to get the bookmarks to return but not this time.

  The favorites were there yesterday morning and disappeared in the afternoon. Nothing has changed between the AM and PM to my knowledge. I tried every solution that I could find online but still no bookmarks.

  Problems with bookmarks and history does not properly can be caused by a corrupted database places.sqlite file.

• Windows Home Server errors when trying to mount an old backup

  I use Windows Home Server to backup multiple machines at home.  One of my old machines died in 2010, and although I thought I had put all my data off of it when switching to a new machine, I kept the old backups autour on the WHS as a precaution.  Of course, I missed a file.  So, I tried to view the last backup and got an error in editing to 79% of the way.  I kept several backups, so I tried the next to the last backup.  Same editing error, as 79%.  He is the 2008 edition of WHS, up-to-date with patches.  I already tried the integrated process of repair, and the journal that it generated did not show any errors on these backups.  Someone has seen this and know a fix?  Thank you.

• Backup utility Windows 7 application ' are you sure you want to remove the most recent data from the backup file "even if I'm trying to remove the backup set is not the most recent.

  I'm trying to reduce the amount of space that my Windows 7 backup uses so I've come to the place in Windows 7 backup:
  Manage space > view backups...

  I am then presented a list of three backup sets:
  01/03/2012 to 01/04/2012
  12/07/2011 to 12/21/2011
  23/11/2011 to 30/11/2011

  I would like to remove the older two, leaving the most recent. However, this doesn't seem to work as expected. If I try to delete one of the two most recent ones (the first two in the list above) I get the following warning "Are you sure you want to delete this backup file.

  However, if I try to delete the last one in the list, I get a slightly different error "Are you sure you want to remove the most recent data of the file backup?"-sounds strange because it is clearly not the most recent backup according to the dates it's show.

  Of course, I can go ahead and ignore the warnings, but I fear that maybe there are some files in the last backup the value in the list that may not be right more recent set backs.

  In 2011, I thought this might be something wrong with the date formats vs US UK (I am in England so the above dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format and not in jj/mm/aaaa) - but now it's 2012 and I backup from 2012 and 2011 games and he always seems to think that the oldest backup of 2011 is the most recent.

  Any ideas? Can I delete the oldest backup sets (that is, the two that are from 2011) safely?

  Any help much appreciated - thank you.

  Update: I checked on other PCs in the office and the situation is the same - is not only something strange on a PC.

  The control panel is not where you go to restore factory settings.  You should consult your computer user guide because the procedure is different for each computer brand and model.

• Trying to regenerate my installation of WIN 8

  I am trying to update my installation of WIN 8. I have problems of pilot (optical drive and virtual disks) and I hope that this will help with.

  When I try to WIN 8, it says that some files are missing, and I need to insert my media. It is a download and I have no disc to be inserted.
  When I try to run the original downloaded file (Windows8 - Setup.exe), she prays for my product key. When I give him the key, it tells me that the key is an upgrade, and I can't move forward.
  What I have going on here?

  Thank you, Mary Therese K... With the help of another forum, I managed to get a new product code. With that, I used my previously downloaded file to renew my program to WIN 8. By doing this I have now all my back drivers where they belong and everything seems to be fine.
