system restore isn't working?

[angrybirds2000]

My system restore isn't working, it goes through normally but when my PC starts back up it gives me an error that it can't find a file or something like that with a weird combination of numbers and letters. I've already tried doing it in safe mode. Help? Is this normal especially if you didn't have internet access for a couple of days?

[yurgenburgen]

you need to be more specific.

Does it actually boot into your OS?
Or does it get stuck during the boot process?
What OS are you using?
What does the error message say exactly?
Do you like raisin bran?

it runs normally, but when it finished and boots back instead of the success message I get a message saying it failed to system restore and that it failed to pull a file and then listed an error code (or something around those lines)

I can build a PC with X2 the performance for far less than the cost of a Mac. all your paying for is the Case with the logo and the POS Operating System.

[ragnkinson]

Exactly what process did you go through to boot your system?

You're trying to restore to what point on your system? Do you have a backup disk available or are you talking about the repair utilities that you can run when your machine won't boot?

In any case, without the error code that your machine is giving you and the other specifics of your situation (OS, hardware, etc.) it's difficult to make a diagnosis. If you can find that you can post it here or google it and take those troubleshooting steps.

you wouldn't believe how fun it actually is plus OS X is for faggots and people who don't know how to use computers.

f-bomb much? did you consider for a moment that using that kind of slur could be hurtful towards other people? do you think lining your posts with hateful & derogatory insults will get your point across better? it's incredible to what lengths people who can't afford a mac would go to in order to try to put down other people . . . all because of their own insecurities & modest income

Sometimes you have to be harsh to get your point across because beating around the bush to not hurt peoples feelings don't always work.

Oh I have the money to buy a Mac I have a pretty good job, I don't because it isn't the industry standard in performance to cost. For the money you can put down on a Mac (2500-3000) I can build a Intel or AMD rig for 1200 to 1800 with 3 times the performance with open operating systems which givee free reign in programming and performance.

You can build a better rig for half the cost and get much more out of it than a Mac which is a scam.

do you think bringing other people's sexual orientation into a question about computers is going to convince anyone that macs aren't way better than windows? in that case i have some news for you: it won't

you're just repeating what other people have told you . . . you've probably never experienced the apple difference firsthand. that you'd compare intel & amd to apple only goes to show how little you actually know

I've used Intel, AMD and Apple and seen the differences betweent the three and I can tell you first hand as someone who is very computer savvy AMD and Intel Rigs with windows 7 or linux are far more versatile just for the fact you have more more leeway what you can do.

Try turning it off and on again hue.

since you're so computer savvy why don't you name an apple computer which doesn't use an intel chipset

Not every system restore point is 100% successful, so try using an earlier system restore. It doesnt effect your files so it should be fine.

non-until like pre-2004ish. but the thing is they use mid grade CPUs. but for what I can get get for what a Mac costs I can get get more CPU, GPU (something Macs greatly lack) and RAM, plus with a Windows or Linux Operating System I have much more freedom to do things and more products on the market to play with. Macs aren't practical unless you just use it for everyday use (Internet, Email and what not), but Windows and Linux on PCs are the Standard for the gaming industry (Gaming Rigs to play AAA games) or if you program are in the graphic design or IT security.

its about Cost and what you can do with it, Apple keeps strict control of what can go on Macs which keeps industry software developers away. while Microsoft with Windows are like "whatever do what ya want" which is why PCs corner the market.

The error code I got was (0x8000ffff)

[exudaz]

Shoulda had a linux distro.

Why don't you be a sensible shit and tell us how the error started occurring.

Did you delete more shit from your HDD without uninstalling it?

Obviously something is attempting to boot at startup.

open the task manager...

Open the File menu

hit new task (Run)...

type 'msconfig' without the quotations and hit enter

Click the startup tab, and disable all.

then click the services tab.

Check the box that says "Hide all Microsoft Services"
This is fucking important if you don't want to break your damned computer.

Then hit disable all.

Save changes and restart your computer and see if that fixed the problem.

This might stop things like printers or itunes from working until you re-enable their respective services which can be done at a later time, by returning to msconfig and re-enabling select entries.
