Is there a way I can restore my backup profile that I took from a folder (for example Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\)

Before re-installing Firefox 19, I took by mistake backup my profile in a folder - C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles and not from C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles.

When installing, I chose option "Delete old profiles" and I don't see any old folder under C:\Documents and Settings\garan14\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles profile.

However, I have a lot of important data stored under that profile that has now been deleted.

Is there a way I can restore the old profile data? (PS: as stated above, I have a backup of the profile folder that is located under the Local Settings folder)

I'm in a desperate need for aid. Pls reply as soon as possible.

Firefox stores only cache files to the location of the local settings and not the files in the main folder of the Firefox profile.

There is no need to save this place in local contexts in any case.

The main folder of the Firefox profile is in "C:\Documents and Settings\ < user > change Data" on Windows XP.

If you have deleted your personal data during the uninstallation of Firefox and do not have a backup then your only option is to use an undelete utility to see if you can recover this profile folder.

    If you have never backed up your iPad in iTunes (or iPhoto/Photos on a Mac) on your computer, or iCloud or some other cloud (out of service) service or on some sort of USB key or drive hard wireless designed for iDevices, so your images are gone and you can't extract your photos.

    Mobile device users forget they are mobile, devices computer and more prone to problems/failures of devices with random data loss and do not have a strategy for storage/recording of data to other sources or sites in order to protect their valuable data on their mobile devices.

    Mobile electronic devices aren't as strong and as stable as the most modern computer hardware, like a laptop or desktop.

    All data important like the pictures and any remarks important and documents should not be long term stored on a mobile computing device such as a smartphone or a Tablet and must be saved in the long term location a real computer with more than one hard drive for backup or store these data on multiple devices or multiple storage media devices.

    Significant data redundancy is key if a peripheral device or mobile storage goes down or something happens to the data.

  • Update of today seems to have changed the interface for the bar of icons rather than a list search engine. Is there a way I can restore?

    I know everyone says that they 'hate' changes to the familiar interfaces in a first time before getting used to them, but I just personally don't like the look of the icon-tray in everything I use (it seems to overcome at least some of the usefulness of the Internet on a computer rather than on a mobile phone). I also kind of a lot of up there, search engines that not everything I can recognize immediately by icon. I know it's a minor inconvenience, but having to scroll on an icon to see the name of its search engine is quite annoying after being used to having a nice list that comes to tell you their names. Some way I can change it back to the old interface of the list?

When I switch my application of the primary site to secondary site, we have a window of downtime during which it must implement the secondary site. When setting up the application on the secondary site, I am getting below error please take note that primary and secondary are always synchronized. The application uses the thin driver JDBC to connect to the database.

    However when I use the same user name and password to connect to the SQLPLUS it connects successfully. When I use the sqldeveloper or any other jdbc connection, it fails with the above error.

  • I installed windows 7 from XP and reinstall Firefox. However, I have lost the list of favorites. Is there a way I can recover the previous the "Favorites".

    Installed Windows 7 Professional custom in the required form XP. All the favorites were lost in Firefox and had to reinstall Firefox.
    Explorers has maintained the Favorite list, I had to explore - quite different from Firefox.
    Check the programs created separately by 7 to include the XP file. Favorites, registration is not relevant to the list lost on Firefox reinstall.
    Question: Is it possible that I can get back the original Favorites listing lost when the 7 install, or is it 'gone with the wind "?

    I have not read what is happening in an installation of XP to 7. You can find this file on your system:

    C:\Windows.old
    

    If so, you can find one of these:

    • C:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\your user name
    • C:\Windows.old\Users\your username

    If so, your old given Firefox might be in there. To explore more, it would be useful to set windows to display the hidden files and folders. This article has the steps: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/show-hidden-files

    Then search either:

    • \Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profilesyour usernameC:\Windows.old\Documents and Settings\
    • Your username\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles C:\Windows.old\Users\

    Here you can find one or several folders named random semi. Who has most recently updated content is probably the one you want to restore from.

    Bookmarks only

    Go down the old bookmarkbackups folder and copy the last two backups in a location such as the desktop.

    The restore feature will replace the bookmarks in Firefox by default (and what you added since the reset) with all like bookmarks. If you want preserve newly added bookmarks, use the first, export function before the restore, then the import function later. The following articles have details:

    Success?

    I just got an iPhone 6 and when I plugged in my laptop, he asked if I wanted to restore my new phone. I said yes! But unfortunately chose the wrong backup restore with. Is there a way I can go back to how my phone was before?

    Yes, you can as long as you understand that you will lose everything that is currently on the phone.

    (1) settings > General > reset > erase content and settings

    That will make the iPhone as new.  Then, during the installation process it again once will ask you if you want to restore from an existing backup.  You can then restore the scheduled backup.

    Is there a COA sticker that is attached to the system unit? If there is, it should have Windows 7 Professional on this topic. If so, you probably try restore the status of the plant.

    COA certificate of authenticity:

    ??

    What is the certificate of authenticity for Windows?

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/what-is-the-Windows-certificate-of-authenticity

    New computers that come pre-installed with Windows often have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling.

    ------------------------------------

    For 5 years, Microsoft made it fairly easy for users of the Windows 7 operating system to get reinstall media. If you have lost your support disc or installation retail collection; either it has been damaged or defective; You can download a copy of the edition that you have licensed from a membership site called Digital River. More recently, Microsoft ended the availability to reinstall media that you can download as a. File ISO in Digital River, which is a digital reproduction of an optical disc.

    It was particularly convenient for people who could not easily get the manufacturer's recovery media, did not want to pay the fees required to get or preferred a clean configuration without the software packaged manufacturers or even a recovery partition does not work. It's easy to use, all you had to do was reinstall and reactivate using the product key located on the certificate of authenticity and download all the drivers on the manufacturers website.

    Given that this option is no longer available, what are your options? See the article for more details:

    How to: What are my options for Windows 7 reinstall media?

    Make sure you scroll down and read the section:

    What to do if you cannot get your manufacturer recovery media, refuse to use or to buy it or the Microsoft Software Recovery Website does not work?

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For Dell, press CTRL + F11 directly after switching on the device

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For LG, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    For Toshiba, press and hold "0" BEFORE and during the power upward

    For Acer, press and hold ALT + F10, as soon as you see the logo

    For Asus, press F9, as soon as you see the Asus logo.

    For Samsung, press F4 to the power upward...

    For Fujitsu, press the F8 key directly after the power

    Advent, restart your computer. Then, press F10 repeatedly until the message "Starting system recovery"

    Sony VAIO, reboot and press "F8" or "F10" repeatedly until the screen "Advanced Boot Options".

    If the factory recovery partition is not functional, but the COA sticker is there with the appropriate version and edition of Windows 7, you can try to download and then reinstall Windows 7:

    then

    https://techingiteasy.WordPress.com/2012/04/13/how-to-activate-Windows-7-OEM-license-using-a-retail-disc/

    If there is no COA sticker at all, then you best option is to purchase a license of Windows 7:

    You can find software OEM System Builder of dozens of online merchants. The current price for OEM Windows 7 Professional Newegg, for example, is $ 140. When I checked a few minutes ago, Amazon offered packages OEM Windows 7 Professional from several vendors at prices ranging from $ 101 to $ 150. When I checked earlier, a package specifically designed for reconditioned PCs cost only $ 50 for a 64-bit copy.

    There is no technical limitation to prevent you from using OEM software on your computer, although this software only works for a clean install, not an upgrade. In the past, Microsoft has been remarkably inconsistent in his advice to clients on the question of whether this practice is allowed. (See "is allowed to use Windows OEM on your own PC? Don't ask Microsoft. »)

  • If I accidentally deleted everything that was in my trash, is there a way I can get it back?

    original title: trash

    If I accidentally deleted everything that was in my trash, is there a way I can get it back? I really need to, it is VERY important! Help, please!

    "Deleting" a file does not actually delete it marks just the space
    also available to be used. There are third-party programs that can
    sometimes recover deleted files. The problem is that the space used by
    the file is likely to be replaced very quickly, and it makes
    the unrecoverable file.

    So your chances of successfully recover this file are decent if you
    Try it again immediately after the deletion of it and go quickly
    downhill from there. If you have used the computer since then (for
    example to write this question and read this answer), your chances may
    be very poor now.

    But if the file is large enough, it's still worth a try. Stop
    using the computer in question immediately, if you have not done
    already. Download an undelete program (and here's one:)
    http://www3.TELUS.NET/mikebike/restoration.html but there are several
    others to choose from; Do a search) on a friend's computer and bring
    it to you on a floppy disk, CD or USB to try.

    If that fails, your only recourse is to bring or send the disc
    a company of professional file recovery. This kind of service is very
    expensive and may or may not work in your case.
