Pictures, Favorites and documents are missing

Because the Sony Media Gallery was not working, I did a restore and recovery, to the C drive. Now I have my photo folders, but no pictures in them. Also, my documents and Favorites folder are missing. I was wondering if Windows stores these somewhere and if yes how I find them? I tried to use the disk that my photos are saved on, but Windows says it can't restore.

Thanks in advance for your help.

A Sony tech helped me to restore my files. I thank all those who responded to my problem. Thank you very much.

  • After Windows Recovery virus, all programs, folders, and documents are hidden

    Hey there. I think I just cleaned my old machine to windows XP from a virus apparently known as Windows Recovery using software Malwarebytes' Anti Malware. I have two questions:
    1. How can I be sure that I deleted everything about the virus?
    2. the virus seems to have converted all my documents, files and programs to the State that is 'hidden '. Here is what happened: at his first connection after removing all the stuff found virus, all items in my office were missing from the office, and no program was included in the area of all programs on the start menu. I did a few fishermen and found that all of my programs and documents are in fact still on the computer, but they just seem to be have a "hidden" attribute So I changed my settings folder options to "show the hidden files and folders" and now I see all my old files on my desktop and files, but they are all gray. If I right click on any file or folder, then click Properties, it still shows that specific file as 'hidden '. This attribute at this level then really UN-hides compensation file. How can I apply this to all files and folders instead of each individually?

    In addition, I still don't see any programs in the field of all programs on the start menu. I must go to c:\Program Files and navigate so (unless I have a shortcut on the desktop or the start menu). No idea how to get my programs listed in the programs area all over again?

    Hi Lea4Stas,

    Try the method of register: listed @ http://www.softwaretipsandtricks.com/forum/windows-xp/37769-unable-unhide-see-hidden-folders.html

    You must copy under settings (in) - in Notepad and click Save as "restore.reg" in quotes.

  • I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords

    I uninstalled aurora and now all my favorites and passwords are left of firefox 4, how can I recover my bookmarks and passwords?

    Sorry you have coming.

    See the attached screenshot. If you selected the option to remove my Aurora (nightly minefield, Firefox) the personal data and customizations you deleted all your profiles for each version you have / had installed. You can try to use a program for recovering files, like Recuva, to see what can be salvaged.

    The bookmarks to the file places.sqlite , or among the backup of bookmarks Favorites-aaaa-mm-jj.json files (10 are stored). Regarding your passwords, you need the file signons.sqlite and signons3.txt file.

    Original title: the registry settings used by the iTunes for importing and burning CDs and DVDs are missing. This can occur as a result of installing other CD burning software. reinstall iTunes

    I've loaded and discharged Itunes 5 times and still get the same error message box. This error does exactly what he says, I can not burn anything in my itunes library. ITunes worked great in XP-3 no problems. It will not work on Windows 7-64.  I can download and play songs from any site, but can not burn anything.  And I don't have any other burning software on my CD PC

    Hello PohlCat,

    Given that you have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes without correcting the problem, it may be with a 3rd party product causes a problem.

    I would look at the post here to see if this solution can help you. It's from a 3rd third party site, you should use at your own risk, because it has not been tested, but seemed to help others with the same error that you are experiencing.

    Well we are all learning, sometimes doing unwise things :(

    If you can not use a restore point, and the moving process simple origonal location cannot be done.

    I would like to copy your files to external data, make sure that you have the keys that can be required for programs, then start with a win clean installation, deleting all partitions during the process, and then using the entire disk for C space.

    You can different circumstances redirect your libraries only to another drive, other than C.

    Windows 7 Home Edition

    Hi Pete Wiz.

    Follow the suggestions below for a possible solution:

    Method 1: This problem occurs if the current user profile has been accidentally deleted from the system.

    Note: This section, method, or task contains steps that tell you how to modify the registry. However, serious problems can occur if you modify the registry incorrectly. Therefore, make sure that you proceed with caution. For added protection, back up the registry before you edit it. Then you can restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information on how to back up and restore the registry

    a. log in the system by using an administrative user account other than the user account that is experiencing the problem.

    b. back up the data in the folder of the current user profile if the profile folder still exists and then delete the profile folder. By default, the profile is located in the following location:

    %SystemDrive%\Users\UserName

    c. click Start, type regedit in the search box and press ENTER.

    If you are prompted for an administrator password or for confirmation, type your password, or click on continue.

    d. Locate the following registry subkey:

    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\ProfileList

    e. under the ProfileList subkey, delete the subkey named SID.bak.

    Note: SID is a placeholder for the security identifier (SID) of the user account that is experiencing the problem. The SID.bak subkey must contain a ProfileImagePath registry entry that points to the folder of the original profile of the user account that is experiencing the problem.

    f. exit the registry editor.

    g. log off the system.

    h. Journal to log on to the system again.

    Here is an article:

    A temporary profile is loaded after you connect to a Windows Vista-based system

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/947242/en-us

    Note: The article also applies to Windows 7.

    Method 2: I also suggest that you scan your computer with the Microsoft Security Scanner, which would help us to get rid of viruses, spyware and other malicious software.

    The Microsoft Security Scanner is a downloadable security tool for free which allows analysis at the application and helps remove viruses, spyware and other malware. It works with your current antivirus software.

    http://www.Microsoft.com/security/scanner/en-us/default.aspx

     

    Note: The Microsoft Safety Scanner ends 10 days after being downloaded. To restart a scan with the latest definitions of anti-malware, download and run the Microsoft Safety Scanner again.

    Important: During the scan of the hard drive if bad sectors are found, the scanner tries to repair this sector, all available on which data may be lost.

    Let us know if that helps.

  • After that FF28 installed, my history and bookmarks are missing like #981577 I've tried everything!

    I had this problem for about 5 days, it can happen before then, perhaps as early as 23/04/14 but I'm no good (inoperable cancer) and just started using my laptop about 5 days ago. I became aware of the problems about 5 days ago, in the course of which I tried the search the support forums and Mozilla on the web for clues as to what I can try, where the reference to the #981577 issue, which looks like it could have been written by me (my saved passwords no longer work , and I can't open the modules now, but for the last few days I could use Add-ons-those for sql lite, but I just tried the add-on troubleshooting appearing at the bottom of this page and I can't use it, what happened to me earlier today, when I downloaded an add-on, I clicked on the FF orange button at the top left then click on Add - ons and it goes up to reach the Add-ons Manager, but nothing happens when you click on the add-on that you try to use - if it manifests itself - it shows only a page marker to square with 'Disable' and 'Delete' - I thought that the problem was with the other add-on I tried because he had a year and maybe he just didn't work. Somehow, I think that the Bar Menu of Firefox with button Firefox Orange and other toolbars could be part of the problem. If I click on the Navigation toolbar and click on the Favorites button that I added to the bar, he will fall down and show me bookmark pages (maybe 15) who are not sorted as my lack. If I click on "Show all bookmarks" it opens the window titled LIBRARY which shows on the left side of the screen. Inside of the library window is a toolbar with your gray out/not bkwk use, then organize, then views, then import and backup - a box search Favorites under the microscope. Under the tool bar is a section of the left screen with an icon like a book that reads all the bookmarks, there are no bookmarks listed under this heading, and nothing happens if you click on it, like a button/command. On the right side, there are two sections, the first section on the right side and the upper part under the toolbar is an area with the name and the location of the headers and below show 3 bookmarks recent I've added lately. Just below the previous section is the section name: and then a search box empty. If I click on "Show all" when you work with toolbars, or bookmarks, they somehow default to an empty LIBRARY window. When I click on the area of the history from the Firefox Orange button, it shows several recent sites when I click on Show All - nothing, I come and when I click on bookmarks, there are several Favorites I did appear today, BUT NONE of these bookmarks appear in the "LIBRARY" window when I click Show all. I want to add that I get the same results when I use the touch of Orange Firefox toolbar as opposed to the Menu bar original. I performed all the tasks mentioned in the conversation to question #981577, and for the most part, I repeated the procedure three times each with additional Firefox and put off my pc between the two for good measure. I also used Windows system restore twice with no results, but also try to "downgrade" my version of Firefox at 24 and 27 (which I know is not a recommended step and the first attempt resulted in the download of Firefox 28, which I was already running, and the second time, nothing restored or appeared as if by magic so I did an uninstall and did a clean install of Firefox 28 since the download link on the Mozilla site. There is no indication that the other user support had him issue/ticket answered and resolved. Communication support spans 12/26-12/27/13. I wished that the preceding conversation took place recently, it may indicate a problem with FF28, but I don't know if it was released in December. Here's the issue or the problem of the original poster, and I took all such measures suggested by the the technical support representative who was present.

    I would be so grateful to have my favorites because they are my lifeline, and I think I have / had links more than 3,500. What about my story, I never delete anything (including bookmarks). I know, there are thousands of websites that I saved. This is the issue or the problem of the original poster, and I took all the steps as suggested by the representative of the technical support that helped:
    https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/questions/981577?ESAB=a & s = Show + All + Bookmarks + Show + History + doesn % 27T + Work & r = 20 & As = & page = 1
    _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
    "Earlier today, my favorites were there. Later that evening, not there.

    I tried the process of restoring bookmarks, I copied the folder and delete the file of places thing. None of this has worked.

    What's weird, is that if I type something in the URL box that I know is in my favorites, it will be displayed as if it was in the history. But nothing shows in my folder of bookmarks at all.

    I need help on what I tried almost all the ways that I read and nothing brought upward. "And as I said in the title, I have over 800 bookmarks and many of them are work related.
    ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________

    Thanks to everyone who took a peek at my problems with library files, history, bookmarks, downloads and passwords lost or missing after Firefox 28 updated (the automated), especially Michael. Jacky, your suggestion was among the first, I tried more than four days ago, but I re - try each day and twice today (this morning, and after I posted my problem of support here). Unfortunately, whenever I tried it, I need to click on start, and I almost always see the screen flash slightly, then at the top of the window where it says 'Library', I would say something like "the program is not responding" and then... nothing, and nothing on 'My Computer', showed changes. I also used inventory management and maintenance to ensure that the files were in my profile folder, etc. and I kept getting a clean management of sites with depth control and I double checked tables in maintenance of places - both of these programs as well as restoration was recommended in the previous responses to requests for information similar to mine. In addition to restoring my computer, I did a 'Reset' on Firefox that created a new profile name which is used where my FF files are stored. I think that this may have contributed to my eventual success.

    Finally, I tried the thing to save the files in another folder, then change the name of the 'SQL places?' I forgot the second part of the name of the file (I blame my brain tumor for my short term memory problems - really) I think it's the name, so I changed the name. I then clicked on file, then exit and it closed Fire Fox. I was very reluctant to use this method to solve my problems, but after about 4-5 attempts using this, my favorites showed up - not only those who register in the drop-down list and would only save to Favorites sorted in the library, he finally showed not to exactly as it did before the problems. I found that using the bar of removing alternating Menu and looking Orange top button Menu to the left of the screen, it appears that the SQL info flows to two menus in the same way. If I clicked on the Menu of the Orange button, he began by listing 3-4 websites as bookmarks. If I used the Menu toolbar bookmarks button, he would have the Favorites list at the bottom of this flow - on 15 sites (which is crazy for both because I did 4 200 bookmarks). I was so frustrated but clicking on all the bookmarks or history, and the pop - up for library would say "there are no files. I don't really know the final or this answer solved my problems, but I stayed awake almost a whole 4 days awake trying to solve this and now it looks like as I ' ve managed to fix 99.9% and I'm done with it - I can't take more. " I think my brain tumor has increased his own tumor to that - I'm absolutely no COMPUTER expert, that's for sure. Thanks again!

  • All my desktop files and library are missing in Windows 7

    Need help, I have a windows 7 Ultimate OS on an old Dell XPS of 3 years. Operating system implemented at level of Windows Vista home for more than a year. Last week, when I connected, I noticed that all my desktop files were missing. Library of the missing files (including photos, videos, music & docs). Whats funny is that none of the files are missing. However, all possible files in each folder are missing. There is no way that I could have them was deleted by mistake, can not think of a keyboard shortcut to clear all the files, but leave the files. I run avast antivirus, set to day & works perfectly well. No application installs & the only windows update I see around this event was for MS silverlight.

    I backed up all possible files using a recovery agent & the thought of doing a clean reinstall of the operating system. PS - My research on the net has returned no results for this problem. Looking for all entries before going to come & clean clean my system. THX in advance
     
    * original title - need help with Windows 7, all the missing files *.

    Here are the steps I recommend:

    1. Open the computer and open your folder C:\Users.
    2. Right-click on the folder of your user name and select Properties.  Unset as hidden, and then click OK.

      You will be asked what you want to apply the changes.  Choose JUST THE FOLDER.  Although it seems appropriate, are not select subfolders, because some things down there, including the appdata folders and as such, must be hidden.

    3. Then go inside your userfolder and select all your folders accessible by the typical user (downloads, Documents, photos, video, etc.) and disabled the option down on those.  This time, pouvez you use the option 'apply to all subfolders and files '.
    That will get you squared away back.

    My PC for 3 1/2 year, has been very slow for a few days. He actually hung online last night and I had to physically stop. I turned everything on time and the screen says welcome to HP as if it were a brand new computer. The homepage is not the usual.  I clicked on the Chrome and the display shows Bienvenuechez Chrome and how to put in place. Ditto for Mozilla Firefox.  Then I go to files and they are empty. Documents and photos. went. Family tree maker is there, but it also gives me the Welcome screen. I went to the original Image and it says that it has been changed in 2013 - day and the year of purchase. It seems empty. It's as if my computer has been deleted.  I backed up a month or two ago and I was actually going to save last night, but when he hung up, I turned it off. I thought that the original Image was a return to the top.  I have Norton AntiVirus.

    What can I do to recover my files? Any suggestions? Can I have a virus? or what happened? Can I fix it myself? A computer store can recover files? I'm typing this on my work laptop. Because I don't know about the use of the computer.

    Thank you all very much.

    I unplugged the computer because I was worried that if the hard drive was not, that its use could write on previous data. In addition, the power in the House going on and off for a reason any. Since I'm not tech savy, I decided to hire a computer programmer rather than trying to back up my hard drive by using the adapter by myself. When the computer was reconnected overnight by the computer guy, he came as usual. All my files and pictures were back. The screen looked normal.  Yay! The computer guy said my hard drive was fine, but the computer probably had a virus 'Lotus '. I have Norton Anti virus. He ran a few malware research programs and found some viruses. It works fine now. Hope it stays like that. Thanks for the help.

  • El Capitan installation has failed then restored to Yosemite, but now the different plug-ins and AA are missing - HELP!

    Hello

    By mistake, I decided to update OS of my iMAC to Yosemite to El Capitan. DISASTER! My audio interface could not be recognized and so I had to perform a system restore via time Machine to the iMac in it is already OK State.

    However, while everything seemed ok, there are a lot of plug-ins in Adobe Audition CS6 which "lack" and could not be loaded:

    DeEsser

    Compressor Mulitband

    Mono compressor

    Tube compressor

    Analog delay

    DeHummer

    Convolution reverb

    Surround reverb

    Distortion

    Software suite for guitar

    Mastering

    Vocal Enhancer

    ALL THE MISSING! They are listed but not selectable. I tried a new analysis of records of plug-ins without success... and now I'm stuck.

    I get an error message when I open a multitrack session model that contains one of these plug-ins, and he said ' missing: multi compressor ' in the FX channel window.

    Anyone know;

    R: where to download plug-ins above (they are the original from Adobe that are installed with AA)

    B: what record put them in once they are installed?

    C: an alternative solution?

    I have an old iMAC with AA still installed but I can not find plug-ins anywhere! I tried the obvious plugin files library directories & users, but they are empty.

    Any help much appreciated.

    Hello Terry,

    The uninstall does not delete session files, but if you are afraid you can go ahead and make a backup of the Adobe folder in the Documents folder and then try this.
