'Missing MBR_HELPER '.

Sometimes when I restart my computer (Vista Home Premium) during the boot process, it gives a message saying "Missinf MBR_HELPER. The message does not go away until I have cut the power supply and restart once again and the PC works fine after that. Can you please help me with this problem?

Hi Dbhattac123,

1. When did you start to question?

2. you remember to make changes to the computer before this problem?

Try the following commands boot from the Windows Vista disc.

a. start the computer from the Windows Vista Installation DVD

b. press a key when you are prompted to continue

c. Select your language, time, the keyboard, and then click Next:

d. click on "repair your computer":

f f.. now, in the System Recovery Options dialog box, select the 'Operating System' you want to repair, and then click Next:

e. in the dialog menu "choose a recovery tool", select "Command Prompt":

f. type the following commands one at a time in the 'command prompt window:

Bootrec.exe /fixmbr and press enter

Bootrec.exe /fixboot and press ENTER.

g. remove the Vista Installation DVD and restart your PC.

Even when I play the video clip in the application of the 'Video' on iOS 9 which usually have closed captions on it, now on iOS 10 in the application 'music' don't have it anymore. ITunes on my PC play subtitles on the music video, I need this back on my iPhone! I have total of 401 songs [for the most part, are ripped from my CDs and some songs are purchased from iTunes included music videos purchased on iTunes] and only 333 is transferred to my iPhone and 68 are missing.

  • App missing Documents

    I recently made a few changes, accidentally turned on iCloud and

    all my data went to the cloud.

    Frustrating because I would rather have it on my computer.

    Apart from that my entire application of Documents is missing.

    It shows in the cloud and I copied the info but still do not have the

    App to put in.

    I thought about reloading Sierra.  This would help to restore the App?

    iCloud is a completely separate to your Documents folder, so at least you did drag the files to the folder of iCloud has no way he as magically put everything in iCloud.   That said, iCloud keeps a local copy of everything you put in your computer, so even if it's in icloud it is also locally stored on your computer.

    Application for documents?  Do you mean 'Finder '?  If this isn't the case, you will need to explain what app you are talking about.

    Where at - it go away to?

    Have you tried looking for him with Siri or Spotlight?

    Sierra reloading would put just as he was, but I doubt that such drastic action should be taken.

    Also ti recharge Sierra you need to clean your hard drive and start from scratch. So make sure that you back up all your files before continuing.

  • Missing bookmarks in the smart search field in Safari

    Since the release of El Capitan 10.11.6, favorites are missing from the smart search field in Safari to new Windows.  If a Safari any page web (so far), clicking in the search box if poster is Favorites to view icons, as is expected.

    Is this a bug, or can I make some adjustments to bring them new windows?

    Thank you!

    Dick

    Hello Dick Huitema.

    If I understand your message to the right, when you open a new window in Safari, you do not see your favorite icons in the smart search field.  When I use Safari, I always like to have my favorites available and ready to use, so I can understand why you would be tender for assistance with this.

    You probably feel that if Safari is set to open new windows in an empty page. If yours is configured in this way, there is a very easy way to get these favorites icons to show without actually changing any settings. When you open a Web page, you should see a blank webpage with your top search bar and a cursor blinking in the search bar. Instead click inside the search bar right away, click anywhere on the empty Web page and then click on in the empty search bar. You should then see your Favorites icons appear.

    Another option is to set your homepage to your Favorites. You can do it in Safari > Preferences. On the general tab in Safari preferences, select the drop-down menu next to "new windows open with", and then choose favorite. This should ensure that when you open new web pages, all your Favorites icons show immediately. Favorites icons always appear in the smart search field when additional tabs are open as well.

    Here are a couple of really helpfuls articles on Safari Favorites and search options:

    Hi there, ste_richards!

    Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! It seems that you are having problems with the app phone on your iPhone. I know how it is important to be sure you see what calls are missed at any time. First of all, don't forget when you look in the phone application when you are in the log of recent calls, choose ' All'. Then, check out this article with the steps to restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch.

    The next thing you might want to try going in settings of the iPhone, then the general and reset. Once there, tap reset all settings. This will reset the settings of the iPhone, but does not erase personal information such as pictures, music or contacts. However, it will remove a connection Wi - Fi and VPN settings, so do not forget, you have these settings and passwords ready for iPhone upward starting.

    If this does not work, it would be a good idea to make sure that there is not a problem of software as the cause of this for you.

    1. Read this article to know the steps for backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.
    2. Use this article for steps to use iTunes on your Mac or PC to restore the iPhone, iPad or iPod to factory settings.

    Hello Dulceallison,

    Please ask questions on iCloud and photos after the iOS 10 update here in Apple Support communities. We don't like hearing about questions after each update or upgrade. I am pleased to offer you some things to check to help you with your photos are blurred and alerts that you have received with iCloud.

    The first thing we want to make sure is that all your data is safe. You can perform a backup to iCloud or iTunes. Use this article to help with this: backing up your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch.

    Once your data is safe, we need to verify your configuration and ensure iCloud library is enabled and check if you are using the storage optimization feature. Please open this help link: iCloud photo library. There is a section on titled mid-race "save space on the device. He talks about the storage settings optimize. When this option is enabled, you will get in their original, high-resolution images of resolution lower, while iCloud library keeps all your photos and videos. You can check and see what images are stored in iCloud by clicking on this link: icloud.com, sign in using the same Apple ID that is connected on your iPhone. Click on the Photos. If you use iCloud photo library, you will be able to see all your photos. Upstairs in the Center, it allows you to see Moments or Albums, and if you scroll all the way down it will tell you how many photos and videos that you have. Also, some scroll down and try to check a few who appear fuzzy on your iPhone. Icloud.com are also blurred it?

    If you use iCloud photo library, and even if you see lower resolution versions of the photos on your iPhone, they should not be blurred. Make sure that you have made a backup and then please go to settings > iCloud on your iPhone. Turn off the photo library iCloud, wait a minute or two and then turn it back on. It should be re - synchronize your iPhone with iCloud. Check if the images are still unclear. If they are, please fully sign off iCloud on your iPhone. There are options to save contacts on the iPhone, and other documents and other will be deleted form the unit. Don't worry, this information is recorded with iCloud and also saved in the backup. Once all signed, restart your iPhone. This article will help you if you need the steps to restart the appliance: restart your iPad, iPhone or iPod touch. Once the device powers turn it back on, go ahead and return to the settings > iCloud. Sign in with the same Apple ID that was signed previously. It may take a few minutes to return all documents, data, photos, contacts, and calendars, but once this is done, go ahead and check your photos. They match the icloud.com images? Are they accuse still blurry on your iPhone only? See if you can isolate a specific set of images, or if all the photos on the iPhone are blurred.

    I hope that steps with deactivation and activation of photos in iCloud or logout and back in iCloud has resolved the issue, but if not, please provide the information for the steps that we have achieved together so far and I'll be more than happy to continue checking of other options to get this working as expected with you. Thanks again and have a great rest of your day.

  • missing mail

    After installation of Sierra and opening mail 10, the database has been converted and lost about a year-old mails saved on my mackbook pro.  Use the reconstruction and did not retrieve that email post November 2015.

    I had the same problem. To be clear, the records that were missing for me are personal folders and all existed for pop accounts

    I solved it by first creating a new personal mailbox with a distinctive name "on my Mac".

    With Mail quit, then I went to the folder ~/Library/Mail/V4 and watched in folders that have various alphanumeric names until I found a new one with the distinctive name.

    I then open my drive Time Machine from the Finder and drilled until the last backup of El Capitan and is gone in the ~/Library/Mail/V3 folder and found my mailbox personal registered previously and dragged a smaller folder in the hierarchy of the V4 with the mailbox created in. I just use a mailbox to verify if the process worked.

    Once he had copied everywhere I went in the ~/Library/Mail/V4/Maildata folder and delete any file with "Envelope" in its name.

    I then restarted Mail and got a dialogue that it was important to mail and when it in place, my personal mailbox has been recreated in the Mail of Sierra of macOS application.

    Then I repeated the steps above with all other other boxes to my old V3 messages and letters once they all copied everywhere, deleted the files of 'Envelope' again. It takes quite a long time because there was a certain worth years of mail move above but it worked perfectly since that date (as far as I know).

    Hope that helps.

  • accounts locked messaging iPhone 6 + missing, missing notes, iCloud email? !

    Hi all

    I'm desperate for more help please.

    I have an iPhone 6 + 128 GB running iOS 9.3.4. I just noticed in the last few days or all my notes and all but one of my email accounts have disappeared from my device and I can't seem to get back them! I have travelled abroad (in Greece) for the last four weeks and noticed the question while I was there, but decided to remedy this when I got home.

    I think that my notes may have been attached/linked to my iCloud email address (this email has not been used as my Apple ID and has never been), but when I tried to add this in my mail application I get a message that my account has been blocked for security reasons. So I tried to unlocked do so I can add it to my phone again and hopefully recover the missing notes. I have zero luck with that. During the unlocking process, I have the option to do it via e-mail or security issues. Safety issues tell me that I don't even know that my date of birth and e-mail option sends the email to the address iCloud Apple have locked? !!! Quite ridiculous. I'm really perplexed and a little disgusted by flawed how this reset password unlocking process is. Not to mention the possibility of not being able to recover the notes that I lost and they contain a lot of important information! I have a back up on my PC (Windows), but I fear that the use of this will wipe away anything from my phone that was added after I backed up before my trip abroad or other data.

    I am also having a very hard time to add my gmail email accounts in my mail as application his requesting information server etc, that I simply cannot. I've never met before and I have no idea what caused it. SO I would appreciate some help with this please. I really, really need to solve this problem...

    Thank you very much

    This looks very suspicious to me - as if someone took over your account.  I guess you try to unlock your Apple ID, through the standard process, and, when're asked you your date of birth, told you that it is incorrect.  This probably means that someone else is in your account.  Never share your Apple ID / password with anyone?  Perhaps they have been compromised, especially during your travels abroad?

    What about adding email accounts in gmail, when you click Settings > mail > accounts > add account, simply choose 'Google' as the type of account and all appropriate server information will be provided for you.
