System Restore / level Specs

Hi all

I have a two part question.

This first part is I have a MacBook Pro that has begun to slow and there a bunch of unnecessary stuff slowing down and too much space.  I would like to do a system restore back to factory settings.  I have a MacBook Pro 13-inch, mid 2010 running OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 (I think originally, it came with Snow Leopard).  I need the installation CD to complete the restore from the MBP with Snow Leopard and I do not think that it is supported with online from Apple Downloads?  Or I would be OK end restore download a current OS X from Apple because I am running Yosemite?  I am sure that I have the CD somewhere, but can't seem to find it right now as I am moving.

Second, I think I can help increase the performance of the MBP after restoration by installing increased RAM and an SSD hard drive.  Currently, I have 2 2 GB RAM chips for a total of 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3, 250 GB HDD, processor Intel Core 2 Duo 2.4 GHz and NVIDIA GeForce 320 M with 256 MB.  I think I want to install two chips of 4GB for a total of 8 GB of RAM.  https://www.iFixit.com/store/Mac/PC3-8500-4-GB-RAM-chip/IF111-036-1 Also install a SSD hard drive, https://www.ifixit.com/Store/Mac/500-GB-SSD-Hybrid-2-5-Inch-Hard-Drive/IF107-098-3

Upgrading the RAM and the hard disk in this manner would help improve performance?  I like to keep the MBP for a little longer until I can get a new one.

Thanks in advance for your comments because it's the first time I try something like that.  Yes, I have class time machine backups as well.

Yes, helps to increase the RAM - new version of the OS needs a minimum of 4 GB - 8 would be much better. Regarding your relocation, was your updated firmware to allow for the recovery of the internet? If Yes, you can (or not) have a problem again with your installation DVD - I got an iMac 2010 and tested different scenarios; the installation DVD works once out of 5 tries; given that the firmware has been updated, I tested the recovery of the internet (Command + Option + R) and installed Lion (10.7). You can update from there. Here's the info on who could be updated of the machines - you can check your:

On the updates of the EFI and SMC firmware for Mac computers with processor Intel - Apple Support

If you just use recovery on top of what you have, then you will not get rid of the unwanted installs, files, etc. as it simply installs the operating system on your current OS - all third party files are still there.

If you decide to remove/reinstall, make sure you have a first backup you will lose everything when you delete it.

    ·         What version of the operating system is installed on the computer?

    ·         Did you do changes on the computer before the show?

  • DirectX can it be cancelled free of charge installs or by using the system restore

    Running Windows 7 Pro, I know that many people here have a problem with games crashing to the desktop on startup, Bad company 2, battlefield 2, world at war cod. much of this is due to having directx 10, or a more recent version, most of them want to work with directx 9 .0c only. If DirectX can be rolled without Setup or by using system restore [Windows 7 with backup function, it destroyed other files added since it was backed up, so I DON'T want TO do this if possible]. I looked around and not seen anything saying how. Would appreciate anyhelp which can be givin.
    {Just FYI-Bad company 2 features prominently on their site that tells you how to configure it to run only directx 9 c, so I don't have a job now}

    Hi KerryT,
      
    DirectX runtime for end-users (also known under the name of DirectX) is an extension for the Microsoft Windows operating system that provides a set of quick material orders, low level that they can use to improve performance for Windows games and multimedia programs. The current generation of Windows games and multimedia programs does not work properly without DirectX. So, by design, you cannot remove DirectX. You can try to install Directx 9 .0c and check if that helps. But, before to try this step, you can create a point system to be on the side course of restoration.

    To create a restore point, follow these steps:

    1 open the system by clicking the Start button, right-click computer, and then clicking Properties.
    2. in the left pane, click system protection.  If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    3. click on the tab System Protection and then click on create.
    4. in the System Protection dialog box, type a description, and then click on create.

  • System Restore, now all I have is a white screen

    This a gateway MT6451 laptop with an AMD Turion 64 X 2 Mobile Technology TL - 50 256 KB x 2 L2 Cache, clocked at 1.6 GHz, 1600 MHz processor Hyper Transport technology, running Vista Home Premium. After the reboot, I suspected something was wrong because my computer started acting strange, slow, would not open Internet Explorer without having to restart a couple of times... ect. A friend suggested you do a system restore. I chose the first available date and received a message that the action could not be completed. Then I chose the next earlier and had to leave to go to work. When I got home, there was just a white screen. I restarted and when it got to the point that it should have been at the level of the office, there was just a white screen. I tried to restart once or twice more, same result. I discovered that I can access files via the Task Manager, but it seems I can only access data files. If I try to start a program such as Internet Explorer, I get a message that the file is not found. Thanks for any help, that all the world can offer.

    Don't forget to check with the system manufacturer for instructions, as the recovery of your system and the

  • I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password

    original title: help please!

    I have windows vista on my acer aspire 5517 I changed my admin.password last night and the earlier my husband did a system restore on it. now it tells me wrong password... I don't have a dics in it plese... I need help ASAP

    Next time please post in a forum of Vista. This one is for Windows 7. But since you're here:

    You can change your password to something that you remember another administrative user account. If you had only an administrative user account and you have forgotten the password, all is not lost. You can then follow the general recommendations for implementing user accounts in Vista that I will give you at the end of this post.

    All this requires a certain level of computer skills. You know better and that take the machine to a competent local computer tech (not a type of BigComputerStore/GeekSquad place) is the best solution for you.

    If you have an installation of Vista DVD (not a recovery DVDs), you can start the system with it. Select the default language, then select "repair your computer". Then select "Command Prompt". At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / Active: Yes [press Enter]
    NET user [insert here the name of your user account] [insert the new password of user as 1234 here] [press Enter]

    [Note: do not enter the brackets!]

    Remove the installation DVD and restart the computer. Now, you will be able to connect to your user account by using the password that you set; for example, 1234.

    If you do not have a Vista installation DVD (only have a recovery disk), the computer mftr. may have given you the option to repair Vista (not a system recovery!) system in the diagnostic menu. This menu of diagnosis is the same one where you can choose Safe Mode. Get to this menu by repeatedly pressing the F8 key as the computer starts. If you do not have this option, you can make a bootable Vista file repair DVD in this link:

    http://NeoSmart.net/blog/2008/Windows-Vista-recovery-disc-download/

    Note: All the Neosmart recovery disk downloads are torrent files. There is a good explanation of the torrent on the site Web of Neosmart files. You will need a torrent asmuTorrent client to get the files. Torrent client will download the .iso file with which to create the bootable DVD. You will need to use third-party burning software such as Nero, Roxio or the free ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com ) to burn the image .iso image file, not in the form of data.

    Once you have fixed things, log on to the additional administrative account you will be made by the suggestions below and disable the administrator account integrated yet for security reasons:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: cmd
    When cmd appears in the above results, right-click and choose "Run as Administrator" [OK]. Now, you will get the command prompt. At the command prompt, type:

    NET user administrator / active: No. [Enter]

    Exit the command prompt.

    General recommendations for creating users in Vista:

    You absolutely don't want to have only one user account. As XP and all the other modern operating systems, Vista is a multi-user system with integrated system of accounts as default Administrator and comments. These accounts should be left alone because they are part of the structure of the operating system.

    In particular, you do not want one account user with administrative privileges on Vista because the administrator account integrated (normally only used in emergencies) is disabled by default. If you use as an administrator for your daily work, and this account is corrupt, things will be difficult.  It is not impossible to activate the built-in administrator to rescue things, but there may be more that you want to do. Better not to put you in a bad situation at first.

    The user account that is for your daily work must be a Standard user, with the extra administrative user (call it something like 'CompAdmin' or 'Tech' or similar) only it for elevation purposes. As a user Standard is recommended for security reasons and will help protect your computer against infections. After you have created "CompAdmin", connect to it and change your normal user account Standard. Then log on to your regular account.

    If you want to go directly to the desktop and ignore the Welcome screen with the icons of the user accounts, you can do this:

    Start Orb > Search box > type: netplwiz [Enter]
    Click continue (or provide an administrator password) when you are prompted by UAC

    Uncheck "users must enter a user name and password to use this computer". Select a user account to connect automatically by clicking on the account you want to highlight and press OK. Enter the password for this user account (when it exists) when you are prompted. Leave blank if there is no password (null).

  • 1: 0x80042318__2 system restore error: Windows Media Player 11 will not work open__3: Internet Explorer 8 crashes when opening.

    I have these three questions of program after reinstallation of Windows Vista and tried (mostly unsuccessful) using Windows Easy Transfer to move and reinstall my programs and files. My computer had some problems before start, (it would be almost always gives me the blue screen at startup and go into Startup Repair). The Startup Repair wouldn't fix anything and just lose about 20 minutes of my time. Finally, he wouldn't even load at all and the Startup Repair did not help so I decided to reinstall Windows Vista. It worked perfectly until what stupidly, I decided to try and use Windows easy transfer if everything goes well "to" my programs this new copy of Windows Vista.

    So now my questions are: Windows Media Player 11 does not open. I don't see a thumbnails of videos that would open with Windows Vista either. Oddly, although I can use Windows Media Center very well. I also installed Quicktime player and it seems to work perfectly.
    It was not catastrophic but especially a gene. I use VLC player to manage most of my videos very well, but love using WMP before.

    Second: I can't create restore points at all. Once I try, I get this error message:
    "The restore point could not be created for the following reason:
    An error was detected in the copy Service VSS (Volume Shadow). The problem occurred while trying to connect with the VSS writers. Please check the event system service and the VSS service are running and look for errors related to event logs. (Ox80042318) Please try again. »

    Finally, for some reason any after the transfer, eventually after Internet Explorer automatically updated it will completely freeze when I open it. This is for me the prompt to open the session previously was crushed, and if I try that or close the dialog to open just the home page, it will freeze completely, even the blue circle next to the name of the tab to load.
    Fortunately, I have Firefox and Google Chrome installed, both work very well.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. I'm not entirely fretting on IE8 and WMP 11 but I feel really that less stressed if I know that I have a System Restore Point in case my previous numbers start to happen again.

    Here are my system specs, in case that dans le cas ou c' est is somehow useful.

    Big thanks in advance to anyone who can give a glimmer of assistance. I tried searching on these issues online and found no help. My next step is the Dell technical support (.. don't looking forward not to y).

    Do you have these problems if you for testing purposes create a new user?

    Other things you can try after trying the suggestions "Sreenkanth T" is to run the ChkDsk program.

    Try running ChkDsk to check your drive for errors. Right click on your drive icon / properties / tools / error checking.  Try first by checking do not each box (that it will run in read-only mode) to see if it reports any problems file or hard drive.  If so, restart it by checking both boxes and restart to allow him to attempt to fix any problems found

    Windows Easy Transfer moves not installed third-party programs on the whole, he does that move their settings, your files and settings Windows.

    As you have just reinstalled Vista, where were your old programs and files (on which machine) when you used Windows Easy Transfer, you still have access to them?

    You have to maybe do the reinstall once more but forget your settings and just manually copy all of your data?  This way you will give you restart with no old parameters of any other machine?

    You can also consult the third-party program (costs a little money), but he can move everything, including the programs installed.

  • Error - the file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect. "(0x8007007B), when you exit the system restore.

    Original title: System Restore problems

    Hello, I am running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit classic mode.  My system specs are listed under my signature.

    Before installing a program today, I went to create a system restore point.  In system properties > System Protection, I see that in the Protection settings > disks available there are two instances of the C: drive tagged like this:

    HDD0 (C :) (System) Protection on (selected)
    HDD0 (C :) (Missing) Protection on

    This is probably due to having recently replaced my C: drive with a disk larger to help to restore from a System Image backup.  The installation seems to succeed.  (I use now!)

    Note: other readers in Protection settings are showing off Protection.

    When I clicked on "Set up" in system properties > System Protection, I have seen that in the restoration of settings, the box "Turn off active Protection" has been selected.  I put the option button "restore system settings and previous versions of files.  In space, the slider was set to 0.  I put it to 1% (857,54 MB).

    When I tried to leave the system of Protection for the dialog to HDD0 (c) I got this error:

    There was an unexpected error in the property page:
    The file name, directory name or volume label syntax is incorrect.  (0x8007007B)
    Close the property page and try again.

    I deleted all restore points, then created a new restore point.  Current usage shows now 29,48 MB.  I still get the error when I try to the OK from the dialog box.  When I click on the system restore and start the Restore Wizard that I can see the restore point, I just created.

    Any help to banish the fake player available and messages will be appreciated greatly.

  • Fact a system restore and you need to download firefox so that it can work, but now have lost all bookmarks, is it possible to get them back?

    A system restore to see if that could solve the problem with registration to Xbox games. It corrects this problem, but firefox would not work. So I downloaded again, but now lost all bookmarks. Is it possible to recover?

    I don't see the restore function.

    Hmm, when you are in the dialog box (Ctrl + Shift + b) library, you have the menu "import and backup"? Restoration is expected to be in this menu.

  • Firefox Sync has restored after a mysterious Win8.1 'no - system restore' by ~ 1 month; addons lost and bookmarks in this period.

    Situation quite messy/weird here. I woke up this morning to find that my Win8.1 was reduced to a 1 month whose state of my Firefox Sync State. Bookmarks seemed to be updated but not the series of modules. I clicked the sync button in the hope it would refresh things on the last saved state to my e-mail last night, but he churned through and then my favorites, it was missing the last 1 month. I'm having problems with WIn8.1, too, that event viewer shows no system restore (and will not allow me even open the system restore) and event poster Viewer half a dozen updates Apps I never user as the only activity that happened during the night. Any ideas on wtf that happened here and how fix?

    Situation quite messy/weird here. I woke up this morning to find that my Win8.1 was reduced to a 1 month whose state of my Firefox Sync State. Bookmarks seemed to be updated but not the series of modules. I clicked the sync button in the hope it would refresh things on the last saved state to my e-mail last night, but he churned through and then my favorites, it was missing the last 1 month. I'm having problems with WIn8.1, too, that event viewer shows no system restore (and will not allow me even open the system restore) and event poster Viewer half a dozen updates Apps I never user as the only activity that happened during the night.

  • How can I find downloaded emails that disappeared after the system restore function?

    I restored Ubuntu 14.10 at an earlier date, but the previously downloaded emails since my online account after the restored date disappeared. Where can I find them? Data is backed up on a weekly basis.

    I have no idea, I suggest you to ask what you actually do on a forum of Ubuntu Linux. My guess is that you have completely replaced the files with the 'old', so the data are missing. Long experience which is anything "System Restore" or "system reset" will lead to nothing other than high blood pressure, gnashing of teeth and the loss data.

    If you happen to find a latest version of your profile files, the information here should help. https://support.Mozilla.org/en-us/KB/Profiles-TB#w_where-is-my-profile-storedUbuntu

  • System Restore wiped out to my favorites

    Please help I just did a system restore and after it restored all my 50 or so bookmarks gone how do their back thanks to all in advance

    It is possible that the obtained profiles.ini restored an earlier version and you have switched to another profile or new profile has been created.
    If you had reset Firefox after the date of this restore then point it probably happened.
