Will I lose the files, emails, and new photos if I restore the computer to an old backup file?

Trouble with several of my software design update to El Capitan.

I'll lose new emails, photos and I have the files, so restoring my computer with an old backup with an older operating system on an external drive?

If you restore a full plus version of your drive on the existing, you'll be back your mac to the backup day.

Instead, why don't tell you the readers about the problems you meet and are looking for solutions for those who instead of going backward.

    original title: upgrade

    If you do an in place upgrade your files and programs will remain on the computer. If you perform a custom installation, you will need to back up your files and reinstall your programs.

    Installation - 'upgrade' means what?
    Upgrade means that you can install Windows 7 simply by inserting the Windows 7 upgrade software in the DVD drive of your PC and follow the instructions on the screen. While you are not required to backup and reinstall your files, or reinstall your programs, it is a very good idea to back up your files and settings before you start any upgrade to the software. Get more information on the software updates and best practices .

    Installation - what does "Custom (Clean)" Mean?
    A custom (clean) installation clears the contents of the hard drive of your PC. Your files, settings, and programs will not be transferred to Windows 7. This means that to install Windows 7, you must:

    • Back up any files and settings you want to keep

    • Install Windows 7

    • Reinstall all your files

    • Reinstall all the programs you want to use.

    These four steps take time, skills, techniques and Windows Easy Transfer can help. However, if you are not comfortable with this process, please consider having the installation carried out by a local service provider.

    If you are running Windows Vista , in some cases you can proceed directly to Windows 7, and in other cases, you must perform a custom installation. The following table shows what editions of Windows Vista can be upgraded to Windows 7.

    Windows Vista Home Basic

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Edition Home Premium

    Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Business

    Windows 7 Professional, Windows 7 Ultimate

    Windows Vista Ultimate Edition

    Windows 7 Ultimate

    For more information, see upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7 . (http://windows.microsoft.com/upgrade-windows-vista )
    You can't go from 32 bit to 64 bit, a clean install is required. If you have any questions about the upgrade from 32 bit to 64 bit or vice versa, please see this FAQ: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/32-bit-and-64-bit-Windows-frequently-asked-questions

  • After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer

    After Vista update cannot find the external hard drive, AutoPlay does not work, and new unusable disk appears under my computer. Also I can't 'manage' my computer because I do not have "permissions". I tried a fix he 45071 and it did nothing.

    Applications, (Norton and McAfee) (including free evaluation versions are notorious for not not upgrade (or uninstalling) itself.) If NIS has been installed for 3 years, you have NIS update at least once and maybe twice (e.g., NIS 2009 > NIS 2010 > NIS 2011).

    [You may want to print these instructions for reference offline. If a step said to reboot, reboot.]

    1. download the Norton Removal Tool, save it to your desktop: ftp://ftp.symantec.com/public/english_us_canada/removal_tools/Norton_Removal_Tool.exe

    2. close all open applications (that is, anything with an icon on the taskbar).

    3. After completing some you have a copy of your handy product key, uninstall all Norton software (including LiveUpdate and everything Norton Add ons) viaControl Panel | Programs | Uninstall a program (or Control Panel |) Programs and features, if you are using the classic view).

    4 IMPORTANT! -Online activate Windows Firewall immediately after the restart.

    NB: Now you're "working without a net": no to ANYTHING else online (e.g., navigation, reading e-mail, chat) until you have completed step #7 below!

    5. right click on the file that you saved in step #1 above, and then select run as administrator.  DO TAP not your keyboard until the race ends, then restart.

    6. do a clean install of NIS 2011 (using your product ID, if need be) & reboot. CF. http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20080514162318EN

    NOTE: Do NOT activate or install additional modules of Norton (for example, Norton Anti-Phishing) immediately.

    7. manually and repeatedly run LiveUpdate (Norton) until you get a prompt "no update more".

    8. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/923737 & run the difficulty.

    9. open Internet Explorer (only) to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/971058 & run that set it by DEFAULT and modes and AGGRESSIVE. [1]

    10. restart once again & test.

    Hi abgolf3,

    The question may be how the new hard drive has been formatted.  Take a look at the way in which the reader is implemented by clicking Start > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > double-click on computer management > double-click storage.  Is all the space on the disk are responsible?  If so, take a look at these two documents for your problem:

    Mark a partition as active

    Format a hard drive or partition to NTFS format

  • I installed firefox Aurora, but can I uninstall it and go back to Firefox 11 if I find the 11 version better? Will I lose the history and bookmarks?

    I installed the new version 13, called Aurora. I currently have, but if I start to dislike the new features (until now I do! But I have to ask) can I 'come back' to the 'good old' Firefox 11?
    Will I be losing my data and settings? History and bookmarks?

    My computer is a Pentium M 1, 6 GHz (2004) and version 11 seemed very stable. I installed Aurora is because I wanted to try your new software.

    Yes, you can uninstall the aurora and install the latest stable version whenever you want without losing the personal data because your profile data is stored in the Firefox profile folder, so you will not lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

    Thank you

  • HP Photosmart C309a will scan of the computer (iMac) and scans each page as separate-doc

    Help.  Given that I've upgraded to Mac OS x 10.7 will not scan my my all-in-one C309a scanner.  It only scans the computer and each page is a separate scanning.  No idea how I can get it to work like it used to work (and was designed for)?

    Thanks for your help!

    Hello

    Scan from the front panel is not supported by your device provided with drivers Apple Software Update (for example Image Capture / print & Scan) and not a software HP full feature.

    To scan multiple pages into a single PDF file, open picture Capture and don't forget to click on view details if necessary

    Once you choose PDF in the format in the settings area, a small box appears which says "combine in A Single Document. don't forget to check this box, and the scans will be saved in a single PDF file.

    Original title: corrupted vista OS?

    My Dell studio slim desktop (Vista OS) that I have since Mar09 died on me 2 weeks back and I can't it start and it will keep rebooting until it resembles the wide long beep (as if a deceased person)

    Whenever my com has restarted, it shows the following:

    Safe mode

    Safe mode with networking

    Safe mode with command prompt

    Last known good configuration (Advanced)

    Start Windows normally

    All options will be led to the recovery of my com & return the same screen.

    It will always get stuck at the loading bar where the com starts boot & restarts itself.

    I tried to attach the hard drive to a different com as external hard drive, but it will begin to restart that com & hang the CMO as well

    I tried using the disc to reinstall OS from DELL and it will show a msg of error (blue screen) with the following text:

    Disable or uninstall the antivirus, Defrag disk or backup utilities. Check the configuration of the hard disk & check for any updated drivers.

    Run CHKDSK /F to check for hard drive corruption, and then restart your computer.

    Hi Bill,

    I forgot to include some info as well... I replaced the 'touched' hardisk (Barracuda 500 GB) to an unused a (Barracuda 160 GB) and the problems disappeared. Whenever I change back the 500 GB in the com, the sound signal occurs only backwards the system continues the reopening for abt... 10 + times?

    "My Office studio slim (Vista OS) Dell I have since Mar09 died on me 2 weeks back and I can't it start, and he'll keep rebooting until it seems a beep long-lasting looks not (as if someone died).

    So the questions are now fixed, unless you put the other disk hard?

    Test the other hard drive.

    Go to the website of your computer manufacturer > find specifications of hardware in your computer (hard drive) > access the Web Hard Drive from the manufacturer site > download their diagnostic software > make a Bootable disc > test your hard drive.

    And run the F12 as I advised you to do so.

    It is DELL's Diagnostics software.

    Good luck with it.
