Lost records system for OS 10.6.8. Need to clear and restore.

I'm trying to help my friend to preserve its old Macbook (since 2007, I think). He got a few old files, it tries to convert this machine before it is retired.

We are in a situation of need to wipe and restore, but it doesn't have the original system discs. The machine is running currently 10.6.8. I found like cnet that said we can download the software, but wanted to ask for advice before launch us into places. If you did similar things and have any advice, I would be very grateful.

Some may suggest to pass to a newer operating system. Maybe it is possible afterwards, but for him to get these files old I don't think we can go up to past 10.8, even if it is legal to do so.

Thank you very much!

Even if you erase the disc, the only way to restore these files is to restore from a back upward.

A 2007 MacBook isn't still meets the requirements of Mountain Lion v10.8 > OS X Lion mountain system requirements

Do not download anything from Cnet. It's a good way to invite malicious software.

On the positive side, you can buy a disc of Snow Leopard at the Apple Store here.

  • Windows 7 backup and restore recording is not recent files (and task corrupted images)

    I recently discovered that my Windows 7 backup and restore does not work properly and need help to fix it.  The backup runs daily, but it seems that he spared not the files that have been generated in the last month or so.  For example, I was not able to restore files that have been created last week, even if they have been backed up yesterday.

    Any questions/comments that might relate to the question above:

    -J' had to upgrade to Windows 10 for 1 month and then downgraded to Windows 7, about a month earlier due to some software doesn't work only with Windows 10.
    -Last week, I realized that my automatic backup didn't work automatically.  I found the problem is due to a corrupt image of task in Task Scheduler I could fix.  I have developed from my backup with the recommended settings settings, and I discovered that the problem of missing file today.

    -J' still have a problem with the images of task corrupted because when I open the Task Scheduler, I get about 70 errors which "XXXX task: the task image is damaged or has been tampered with."  Any help

    Help for backup and the Task Scheduler issues would be greatly appreciated.  Thank you!!

    Hello

    Step 1: I suggest you to re-create the Task Scheduler.

    Steps to re-create the Task Scheduler

    1. Click Start; in the start search type regedit.exe and press ENTER. (If you get a consent prompt, click Yes).
    2. Navigate to the following location. HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\Current Version\Schedule keys and remove its subkeys.
    3. Save the changes and then close the registry editor.

    Now check if the Task Scheduler works.

    Note: The steps mentioned below includes the modification of the system registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly.

  • 'Open with' box appears for programs which should not need to open another program (Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, paint, etc.)

    Whenever I try to open a program (such as Internet Explorer, paint, etc.) one 'open with' appears.

I can't open anything because I don't know how to clear this check box so that these programs can do it themselves without a program.

  • I lost my disc to restore system for Satellite Pro M70

    Hello

    I lost my system restore disc for my Satellite Pro M70.
    If anyone can help with possible solutions. I want to restore it for my sister to take to College.

    Thank you
    Greg

    Possible solutions?
    Well you can take the Microsoft Windows disk and can install windows by using the original Microsoft disc. All the necessary drivers and tools are placed on the European driver Toshiba page.

    I think you will not be able to order this disc of the local ASP or on this site https://backupmedia.toshiba.eu/landing.aspx because the M70 is a little older

    So the real solution can be an installation of the OS by using MS Win drive

    Original title: after a virus, I've lost the system restore for cannot defragment now

    I had a virus which caused problems one of the minor being I've lost the system tools. It now says its empty when I open it.

    You don't need system defragmentation tools.

    You can defragment from the hard drive, then right-click of your hard drive, properties, tools, defragment now.

    Of course, you must fix your missing tools too.

    Part of the answer to the technical support engineer Microsoft does not too which make me think that the MSE has never actually tested this Board to see if it actually works or not.  It's a shame.

    In addition, these shortcuts are not part in the folder in any case.  These things must go in the folder for all users - if you don't want your XP to be ignored.  It is a source of embarrassment.

    I don't know what you used to remove the virus, but I could do that at some point (soon):

  • Events shown in the range of navigation when you view the properties of the system for recording of JFR

    Which record the events shown in the range of navigation when you view the Properties tab system for a Java flight recorder? I'm guessing that they mark the time for JFR's writing of the events on the disk.

    I ask because, during the capture of a lot of information with the help of JFR, we see two effects that correlate with these events: (1) CPU usage ramps up a little bit between an event and the back then, level departure after each event, even if the application workload is constant; (2) the clock used to time stamp on all the events THAT JFR capture high-resolution seems to run more slowly in the period following immediately each of these events, perhaps for the period while JFR is written to disk. The slowdown of the clock appears as an increase in the rate of events shown in the range of navigation in other tabs - I also analyzed the events selected out of the original EN file to check their apparent rate.

    I see this on Java EE applications running on JBoss EAP 6.x on Java 7 on machines virtual small vSphere.

    The events shown in the navigotor range in any time must appear at the same time they are created. not when they are written to disk which can be a little later, depending on the settings.

    In the System Properties tab, you generally see a single spike per segment in your record. You should see the same thing if you go to the tabgroup events and enable only the Java Virtual Machine system property / Initial if Types discovered.

    As for the damages of its use and CPU timestamp, it sounds interesting.

    What exact version of Java 7 you use, there would be some bug fixes in later versions.

  • XPS8700 - I'm lost on audio for this system

    This system is exactly a year now and I've never connected all speakers - partly because I do not understand what types will be or could work with him.

    The original print system configuration indicates that my sound card is "Integrated 7.1 with WAVE MAXXAudio 4."  In Device Manager, I see "Realtek High Definition Audio".  Nowhere I do not see a name/number etc, real sound card model.  -I don't even know what I've got here from an audio standpoint.

    What I currently have for speakers - left by a previous system - is just a couple of desktop Labtec speakers and sub Harmon/Kardon.  I would like to know if it is possible to use with this system and, whatever it is, I'd love suggestions on something better that would take advantage of the capabilities of this system.

    Thanks for any help!

    The manual is available online. Integrated means no separated from her but all card is on the motherboard. Check the back of the tower for audio ports, number 10 in the picture below. Manuals from here. See the Installation Guide for more photos.
