Restoration of the MERGER of laptop crash

Hi all.  My MBPro bit the dust last week and I had to reinstall Snow Leopard and use Time Machine to get my "stuff".  I went and grabbed VMWare in the Applications folder and restored and now he tells me that he is not registered and I need to enter the license key.

I looked on the VMWARE site for licenses and they are now held by our IT Department.  I asked for my key and the one they gave me (25 characters for version 3.1) doesn't seem to work.

Anyone know how to find the license of my backups?  Is it stored somewhere?  Any ways to get back and operational as soon as possible?

Thanks a bunch for any help.

1 VMware Fusion needs to be installed through installer not only restored Time machine because there is much more to the VMware Fusion application then just the bundle "VMware Fusion.app".  If you need to download the latest .dmg on the VMware site and start the program uninstall, then reinstall, that's what I would do first.

2. the serial number for VMware Fusion 3 is stored in the file ' / Library/Application Support/VMware Fusion/license-merger-30-e1-200902 ' then you can find your TM backup for it.

3. it is a known fact that the time Machine is not 100% reliable and backup or restore of virtual machines in all circumstances, and IMO not recommended for backup of Virtual Machines and so you should exclude from the TM backup and save manually as needed/wanted.

    the work you have done in the first can be restored if all the project files and media are saved or recovered by the technician. tell the tech to find .prproj files and recover all the. If you have auto-enregistre turned on, they will appear when the tech search for the files *.prproj.

  • My laptop crashed. I have the disc (intact). How can I find and move the files to the Inbox (not local folders) of my three accounts to the new pop3 computer laptop?

    Old laptop had Thunderbird. The laptop no longer works, so I took the drive C (SATA drive) and and which plugged into a USB port.

    New laptop has installed Thunderbird local folders have been restored. The contents of the Inbox is missing (I use the option ' download server ", so the recent correspondence is here.)

    I have three POP3 accounts, so I will try to identify the location of three separate "inbox" and "Sent" folders and add them to the new facility.

    Where the files are stored, and what would be the easy way to get back them on the new laptop?

    It would be great if there is a more fluid way for disaster recovery.

    You could have copied the whole profile and do with it.
    To create backups, you should also back up the entire profile.

    I m pretty sure Googling around you will find place on order broken parts. I don t know where you live but you can also communicate with the Toshiba service provider in your country.

    In my opinion best and the best for you is to buy laptop faulty on eBay (motherboard failure) and exchanging broken parts.

  • Time very slow start after the restoration in car merger

    Hello

    Recently, I restored my drive of Fusion to 2 because Windows blew it all this when I tried to restore from a System Image (please see here: retrieve Windows System Image in Boot Camp 10). Basically, the HDD and SSD separated and I rebuilt the volume logic and any group. Now start up time in the OS X partition are pretty slow, so are usually use during the first minutes - sort of like Windows startup.

    My questions:

    1 should I I have recreated OS X for the SSD disk Fusion part? Or I just guess I should install it on the part of the HARD drive and the drive of the merger would 'do its magic' and, in time, to transfer files relevant starting it on its own?

    2 installing/restore OS X on the SSD portion would solve the problem?

    Thank you

    Bruncky

    I solved this with Apple Support cat in the end. Basically, you can just boot into Recovery Mode, reformat the HARD disk, and retrieve OS X directly on the SSD.

  • Lost my files on the C drive after restoring my computer mini Asus laptop (Windows XP)

    I lost all my data and files on the C drive (not only the files in the folder my documents, but also other files and folders on drive C, which were not necessarily on the folder My Documents) of my Asus min-laptop (Windows XP) after the restoration of the factory. What should I do to recover my files?

    Hello

    If you have reinstalled the computer using the default value of the plant. Then its likely that the files were copied to the sense that they are not recoverable. Here's a guide on the way in which the files are stored and how you 'can' be able to recover anything.

  • Windows complete PC Backup Image - impossible to restore the backup on my laptop after the restoration of the C drive.

    My user profile is not loaded correctly, and so Sony told me to do a restore of the C drive which took my drive C back to factory settings and lost all my programs and files.  I tried since then to restore the Windows Image backup I did on my external hard drive.

    I open backup and Restore Center, click Advanced Restore, click Advanced Restore again.  The box application to what you want to restore?  The only option is to files from a backup made on a different computer.  I click Next, and he said: select the location of the backup to restore.  Hard drive, cd or dvd option has already found new Volume (e), which is my external hard drive.

    I click Next again, and he says, select dates to restore from.  The only option in the box is dated 2008-01-12 14:14:34 backup location is not available.  My external hard drive has multiple backups on it, including the Windows Backup Image (which was the first backup, I did and it contains 152 GB), and so I do not understand this.

    I continue, and then click Next.  It now says select files and folders to be restored, but there is nothing in the box.  I have check the restore everything in this backup box and click Next.  I save the files restored to the following location - check and navigate to the C drive.  I also check both boxes: restore files to their original subfolders and create a subfolder for the drive letter.  I click on begin to restore, and then he said:

    Restoration was unsuccessful.  Error: the parameter is incorrect. (0 x 80070057)

    I'm desperate to be able to get my programs and files back on my laptop.  I don't understand why the restore function can not see my Windows Backup Image, and why this is so difficult.  I've read other complaints by users about this, but cannot find a solution.

    I look forward to hear from you.

    Thank you.

    Hi HGHFaith,

    I suggest you try the following steps:

    Step 1 : Clean boot the computer and then try to restore

     

    Follow step 1 in the link below,

    How to troubleshoot a problem by performing a clean boot in Windows Vista or in Windows 7

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929135

    If everything works well after a clean boot, you can deduce that some third-party services are at the origin of the problem.

    Continue with the remaining steps to pin-point on the third party service.

    After find you the program that is causing the problem, you will have to perhaps to update or install a newer version of the program, if you rarely use that you should consider uninstalling the software.

    Important: n ' forget not the computer to start normal follow step 7 in the link.

    If the problem persists,

    Step 2: Run Check disk to repair bad sectors on the hard drive.

    a. Click Start, in the start search bar type cmd, right-click on the command prompt icon in the box programs and then click Run as administrator.

    b. type E: (external drive) and press enter

    c. at the command prompt, type chkdsk /f and then press ENTER.

    Now, type chkdsk/r

     Note: CHKDSK would attempt to recover bad sectors on the hard disk, in the course of this process there are chances of DATA loss from that particular area.

    Check whether the problem is resolved

  • my computer crashed and restored using the system recovery disk. I saved all the files using a .fbw format. I can't read. What should I do?

    My computer crashed while updating. It's a double 4 year old HP desktop processor. I could get into the repair screen, but nothing would be useful. I backed up data (115 GB) using the tools available on a drive hard usb. They are under the folder MINWIN and meet 31 different files. All I get is the demand to put in the disc. I copied the last file on DVD, but it will not read it. All other recovery programs say there is no backup file.

    I have backup, with an extension of FBW 32 files
    Help

    Hello

    1. are you able to boot to the desktop now?

    2 have you tried to reinstall the operating system?
    3. what program did you use to create a backup?
    4. do you get an error code or error message?

    According toOberwald, it seems that fbw files are generated by HP, not Vista backup tool. I suggest you to read the following article to restore files from Microsoft.

    Backup and restore: frequently asked questions:
    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/back-up-and-restore-frequently-asked-questions

    If you are not able to boot to the desktop, then I would suggest trying the following methods and check if it helps.

    Method 1:
    Start in safe mode and then try to run the restoration of the system to a point before you install the update and check if the problem persists.
    Step 1: Start in SafeMode in Windows 7:

    Step 2: System Restore:

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows-Vista/products/features/system-restore

    Method 2:

    If you used a third-party program, and then try to restore using the same program and check that it works.

    Also check the FAQ from HP or post the question on a forum of HP.

    Hope the information is useful.

  • Laptop stuck closed during the restoration of the system

    Laptop is stuck during the system restore? If I turn off computer manually by pressing the power button / stop it will mess up computer?  How can I fix it? The display shows 'Shutting Down' he was slaughtered like that for 2 hours now. Help, please?

    It is likely mean restoration of the system has failed for any reason any and therefore find it difficult to restart because of this.

  • Laptop crashes since the update of Muse?

    I don't think it's a coincidence, because since the update of my Muse my laptop guard crashing and restarting itself.
    I've never had this problem before. If I ask to open Muse, it crashes randomly. I would only Muse
    open it crashes, I could have Muse open and be on the internet and it crashes. I have other applications
    open at the same time, for example photoshop and illustrator and it crashes. Just before, it blocks the fan on my laptop
    going very strong, then the screen goes all black. I then message something like: "your computer had
    a mistake and must restart, press a key to continue.

    This has happened 5 times in 3 days of update of Muse. Can anyone offer me any advice of what is happening.

    Thank you.

    Hi Sonia,.

    We have not heard talk of this issue and would like for you to contact support for troubleshooting more: contact customer service

    In addition, please check if Muse is not open and you work on other applications such as Photoshop and the same behavior is experienced?

    I have InDesign CS5.5 for 2 systems - my laptop crashed and I now have a new with Windows 8.1.  I downloaded the correct version of InDesign, but when I enter my l series #, the message reades # is valid, but the software cannot be found on the system.  It seems that the program PageMaker 7 which is not on the new computer.  How can I load my InDesign CS5.5 on the new computer laptop?

    If you purchased InDesign CS5.5 as an upgrade then it looks like it's showing that you need to provide information about the old version where you improved since he found nothing that qualifies.  You must only choose the old version and serial number.  (I don't know anything about InDesign, nor how it might relate to PageMaker).
