  • 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.

  • 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.

  • I need to recover the Favorites after a Windows system restore.

    After doing a restore of windows on Windows 7 Pro, I have only the default bookmarks on my view your bookmarks"" button. In a backup of the system a few months ago, I got the files and folder Appdata Firefox Profiles. I tried to replace the new profiles of 'empty' to the former, but without success - I still have only the default bookmarks. Thanks in advance for your help.

    Note what to do a system restore will probably replace the profiles.ini file and all the profiles that are made after the date of restoration will not appear or be accessible through the Profile Manager.

    If profiles are still there, then you can use the Profile Manager to create a new profile and choose the location of an existing profile (choose a folder) of re - save profile.

  • Add ons manager crashes after doing a Windows 7 system restore.

    Firefox has been restored from 23 Version to Version 20. Now, none of my Extensions or PlugIns appears and when I click on "Get Add-ons" I just get a "loading" and it crashes. I tried to delete the files extension.ini and extensions.sqlite and restart Firefox, but that has not worked. It seems that the add ons and extensions are there, but just not accessible through add on Manager.

    You would not lose personal data as extensions installed as long as you would not choose to delete personal data wouldn't you uninstall Firefox.

    You should always be careful with the system restore feature because Windows does not show you what files are restored.

    It is highly likely that some .ini. and the .js files in the Firefox profile folder have been returned to older versions.

    Have what kind of problems you had with Firefox 23?

  • System Restore has been removed and bookmarks and bookmark backups

    Hi, my father-in-law has tried to install a speaker sound systems on his PC and needed to return to a previous configuration using the system restore. He has done this, but lost all its bookmarks firefox during the process.

    I don't know if it is to install the necessary drivers Sonos or restoration that did it, but his last backup of bookmarks is yesterday. He also seems to have lost his browsing history (and I guess, all of its cookies too).

    Is there another way to get back them?

    Thanks in advance...

    Just an update: the driver to install and/or the system restore had Firefox set up a new profile. I was able to restore the bookmarks from the old profile via RDP remote (really desperate Phonecall)

  • I clicked "forget this site", I can cancel it by running the "System Restore" function to retrieve my story?

    I clicked "forget this site" and I am looking for a way to undo it. I have heard say there is no way to retrieve the history of a particular site, once it has been deleted, but surely, it leaves some kind of record in the system? I read an article that suggested running the "System Restore" feature which gives me the option to "restore my computer to an earlier time" before that some changes have been made. Would this work?

    Hello, windows system restore will not restore the file that contains the history of firefox unfortunately (it's called places.sqlite). you would need a backup of your firefox profile folder to retrieve such data.

    Please also update firefox - the version that you are currently using is outdated and affected by many security vulnerabilities.

  • If flash player problem, there is nothing wrong to do a system restore when he was working and not day of flash player, but firefox update?

    flash player update and update of firefox is not compatible. Do not play videos or connect to web sites and freezes... Solved by doing an update of windows system where he was working. This gives you a work of flash player, and you don't update and cancel the automatic updates. You can update firefox. A simple solution, just type in system restore in the start menu and follow the directions. Worried if there are drawbacks.

    Thanks for the replies. Here is my story: after the update of firefox and flash player June 22, I was unable to use my computer effectively. I am retired and use the computer for research, the entertainment and recreation. and I could not reach sites, found sites gel, could not play videos or hear telephone conferences. I tried to replace the flash player with older versions of the flash player, but kept receiving messages that the installation failed and I needed to install the latest version, I tried to get rid of. I also reinstalled firefox and flash player disabled player real and cleared the cache and cookies. I did not disable the protected mode which seemed complicated, I knew how to clear cookies in firefox at the time here.
    I decided to do a system restore before June 22. I have found that installing and reinstalling and put to date had exhausted most of my system restore dates, but I was able to find one on June 3 and he ran. If other people will try this fix, they should do it before he runs of dates.
    The fix worked, and I have not seen any bad effects. I have no files or important data. I see that this could be a problem. However the difficulty of making a system restore is running much less than firefox in safe mode or some of the other methods of obtaining an older flash player which I have been unable to do. Also I don't know how to disable the protected mode or quick acceleration, but I see that people should be judged with the fix of real player before doing a system restore which seems to be a last resort, for your comments.
    I was more concerned about security than with the loss of data. It seems that adobe tries to protect firefox users of problems with viruses with protected mode, and using the flash in prior non-protected mode was what I've been concerned. However, if I couldn't use the computer, the protected mode was not any help. I could stop and protected him, also. I didn't suggest others to do this fix if it was dangerous, but for me it was quick and easy to a moment that I was about to give up. I wanted others to know about it, because it works, but I didn't want to be the cause of unintended consequences. So I guess I have found, use the fix at your own risk and try first the other sollutions.

  • Hall 20: I can't do a system restore to overcome the refusal of the system to accept the password.

    I did a restore to factory on the Pavilion 20. Pressing me F11 has troubleshooting screen and I chose the system restore. All right

    I set up the UserName Admin and the password carefully (but don't think to do a password recovery disk).  I installed a different AntiVirus Norton application, a default value.  So I uninstalled Norton.  It required a reboot to complete uninstallation.

    This is where my problems started.

    Upon restart, the computer will not accept the password!  There is no mistake here.  It was carefully designed and entered in the creation of duing twice.  I even considered perhaps that I soon take my finger on the SHIFT key (twice) then tried many variations of SHIFT or no change for the capitals and even the next character in the password.  I restarted 50 times trying to get just one time and then I would like to choose a new password for connection.

    For the next, I thought I could just do a restore of the system from zero and re - configure again.  But now there is no option for me to use the system recovery.  This option is missing!  I spent many hours on searches of google for similar problems.  It's just not there.  I tried to use F10 and F11 to enter the system recovery.  I get to the menu troubleshooting and it has 3 options: Refresh uoir PC, reset your PC options and advanced.
    Clicking on advanced options gives me the system restore (a restore point (doesn't) usung) System Image recovery, startup repair, command prompt and UEFI firmware settings.

    I'm positn gthis in the hope that I can do a system recovery to the command prompt.  Is this possible?  If this is not the case, how can I do a system restore when the OPtion is not avaiiable?

    My question is: a complete system recovery was done, why it is no longer possible to

    Hello Newton51

    It will display the number of full model of the computer.

    I don't know what happened on your system but when you do the reset of the system, don't go not advanced.

    You should be able to click on reset your PC. That will erase the C: partition and reinstall Windows.

    When its finished, and you get to the part where it asks you to create a password for the user, LEAVE BLANK.

    Restart to make sure you can connect without using a password.

    IF you succeed at this stage, create your HP Recovery Media via the HP Support Assistant.

    If you enter an impasse once again, recovery media will wipe the drive and reinstall everything, including the recovery partition.

    NOTE: HP will allow you to record only one copy of the recovery media, so not to interrupt the process when you start.

    Now remove Norton and restart.

    Install this that never new you want security.

    When you're done, go to your user profile and carefully create your word password but do not close yet.

    Create the key to reset password on a USB key.

    Now restart and test your password.

    You have a USB reset if it doesn't.

    ----------------------------------------------------------

    If you are not able, or do not succeed to reset the PC, you have two options. Use the MS media creation tool to create recovery media (from another computer).

    Then, reinstall Windows 8.1 and download your HP drivers and install them.

    Or

    Order directly the appropriate recovery of the HP Support media.

    Contact HP worldwide | HP® official site

    Choose the country you are. Choose Help, then to the House.
    Enter the full product number and follow the prompts to contact Support.

  • Recently upgraded to the new version of Firefox and after a Windows system restore was performed today Firefox is therefore more accessible (by clicking on icon Firefox results in nothing) what can I do?

    After System Restore Mozilla Firefox icon is still on the screen but now when I click on the Firefox icon does not open. I have a number of bookmarks saved I'd perfer not to lose - is there anyway I can restore Firefox without losing bookmarks?

    Using the system restore can cause your installation of Firefox get corrupted because not all files are restored, so be careful to do a system restore.

    Do a cleaning (re) install and delete the folder of the program Firefox (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).

    Download a new copy of Firefox and save the file to the desktop.

    Delete the program folder Firefox before installing newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.

    Your bookmarks and other profile data stored in the Firefox profile folder and will not be affected by a relocation, but make sure that you do not select delete data of a personal nature if you uninstall Firefox.

  • System Restore DVD Vista vs Windows 7

    I'm new here and I apologize if this has been asked before.  I looked around and tried to search but can't find my answer.

    I just reveived my new HP Pavilion dv7t last night.  Notebook Essentials booklet says to create a set of DVD system restore, but This can only be done once.  I am in the process to register for the upgrade to Windows 7 snce is expected within a week.

    Should I go ahead and create the restore DVD system with the Vista operating system, and if I do I then will be able to create another System Restore DVD for Windows 7?

    I want to assure you that I have a restore of the system based on both operating systems, where I need to go back to Vista, but still have a system for Windows 7 restore, if it proves to be stable and I like the OS.

    I hope this makes sense...

    Make your Vista recovery DVD. Two reasons...

    1. you will not be able to do a cover of 7 Win set, (unless, of course, HP offers a magic here).

    2. If you install Win 7 and you need to reinstall it later, you will have to start with the Vista installation and repeat the upgrade process (unless HP upgrade version works differently from the retail... version did not get a response on this one here).

    Of course, you can always use an application of imaging to make an image of the newly installed Win 7 to use in the case of a reinstall. Acronis True Image or Macrium Reflect are 2 choices. Macrium is my preference.

  • HP Pavilion 15 laptop: HP Pavilion 15 laptop: System Restore completed successfully. The problem is not resolved.

    About 3-4 weeks ago, my computer found himself in a reboot loop. I was not online at the time where he was probably not due to an update.

    After going on the HP Web site, it was first suggested that the issue could be overheating due to dust. I followed the instructions but it does not work.

    Diagnosis is directed which has determined that there are no problems with the hardware or memory.

    Then the site suggested that I do a Refresh system or a system restore. I tried the cooling system. It did not work.

    I contacted HP Tech Support hotline and they told me to update the drivers. Drivers cannot be updated / installed (by me at least) in Safe Mode, if it does not work.

    Then told me the only choice I had was to do a Factory Reset/System Restore.  After the purchase of an external HARD drive and backup of my files, I tried to do the factory reset. I received a prompt to insert a disc, but computer did not come with a disc. If it does not work.

    Then I was told by support that I had to buy "recovery disc" or a new copy of Windows 8.1. Technical support said it was the only way to solve the problem. By chance, I found another video that shows how to access recovery tool of real system since menu troubleshooting at start-up.

    System recovery completed successfully. However, while creating the new installation of Windows 8.1 (implementation name, country, favorite colors, e-mail etc.) the original reboot loop problem started. If it does not work. Even worse, because the Windows installation is incomplete - and can complete because of the reboot loop - I can access more fashion is safe.

    Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Miracles would net you have my firstborn (eat too in any case).

    Okay, so I had to take the machine to a technician. What she said is that it was certainly not a hardware problem. Its best estimate is that my computer As witn infected a Trojan horse which subsequently transferred, entered the BIOS and corrupted partition.

    Short history of Tech, they fixed by redoing the BIOS and installing a new copy of Windows 8.1. I asked about the other options that I received. She explained that a remote technical support could not fix the problem, nor recovery disks could solve the problem.

    My advice to all who encounter such a complex problem, when you contact HP Support don't forget to request contact information for a local HP technician, licensed (I only asked for this in desperation by accident). Just in case your problem is not easily diagnosed or solvable, it might just save you some time, money and spare you confusion.

    As for how I got infected with the Trojan possible in the first place, no idea. The only thing I can think is that I've opened an e-mail looking strange but legitimate to someone I didn't know. However, it was about 6 months ago and the problem started a month before, so I at least do not know if there is a link. However, it is always good advice not to open strange e-mails. Note that the technician did say that even if I had Norton installed, it would not be able to automatically detect the problem. (I wonder if I called Norton technical support if they could have helped or pointed me in the right direction faster. But even once, any comments or information I received from HP technical support gave usable clues. "And refresh the system that has been proposed did uninstall Norton).

    So, I have a computer to work again. I hope this info can be useful to someone and avoid frustration. Thanks to everyone who took the time to read my post.

  • Satellite A100-784: fact partition system restore DVD formats

    Hi guys,.

    I would ask you for help :)

    I have a Toshiba Satellite A100-784 with Windows Vista Home Basic OEM.
    I have this Toshiba system recovery DVD. If I press F8 during start up I get to the screen where are some options (repair at startup etc.) but I'm interesting in 'Exploitation Windows System Restore'.
    I have two partitions (C:, D :), the system partition is C: :)
    So, I would ask if I use this "Exploitation Windows System Restore" there he reformatted data on the D: partition as well?

    If I press F8 when booting I get to the menu, I chose this computer repair and after that there are options:

    1 startup repair.)
    2 system restore.)
    Restoration complete 3 PC.) Windows
    Memory 4 Diagnostic tool.) Windows
    5. command prompt)
    6 operating system restore.) Windows

    Is it possible to use one of these function just to reinstal C: partition without losing data on the D: partition?

    Thanks for the reply :)

    Hi friend

    usually the system restore the c: partition fair DVD formats, so if you have two separate partitions, the restore DVD should leave the D: partition intact.
    In your case I would choose point 6. (Operating system restore) that supposedly only restores the operating system, which means that it scratches the C: drive...
