2 yrs. iPad data corrupted -or accessible/ salvageable?

I connected iPad 2 first time to iTunes in over 2 years. Wanted to update ios from ios 4 to 6. The hdd was pretty full and I was able to copy pictures and videos to folder on laptop. Deleted cameraroll from ipad and Then I made an encrypted backup. Then I reset and wiped data. Immediately plugged back in, to laptop, then updated to iOS 6. Then connected to laptop again and selected "restore from backup" and entered encryption key.
After three seconds message pops up: iTunes could not restore the iPad "apple's iPad" because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with t...
After trying hundreds of times, including disabling the antivirus for a few minutes still same message every time.
I remember when i made backup took less than aminute and i was kinda surprised but ther were no error alerts or popups and it said backup complete. i Researched backup folder location and the backup has 525 files and is 258 MB, which is about same as my iPhone backup.
This means backup is not empty, but is it really corrupted or some compatibility error or did I really lose two years of notes, documents, voice recordings and tax records and PDFs?
If anyone is willing to save me from this catastrophic nightmare they have my gratitude and appreciation for your help

The only way to access data from an iCloud backup is to restore it to your device.  You could, for example, back up your iPad mini to your computer using iTunes (by connecting it, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Back Up and choosing to back up apps and transfer purchases when prompted), then erase it and restore the old iPad backup (as explained here: iCloud: Restore or set up your iOS device from iCloud), save any recovered data you want to keep, then restore your iTunes backup back to your iPad mini (by connecting it to your computer, opening iTunes, then going to File>Devices>Restore from Backup).
Once you're done with the old backup, delete it from your account to free up the space.

    This problem often occurs to my iPhone when I listen musics. usually, I turn off my phone and reboot it and it will be okay. This works for me. you can try it too.
    Of course, you can try to reset all settings on your iPad or restore it to factory settings.
    you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset All settings to clear up your settings on iPad and see it is helpful.
    If not, Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase All Content and Settings. This will reset your iPad to factory settings. Please note that you need to backup your iPad before doing this.
    Hope it is helpful.

  • M500/M5x0 QUEUED-TRIM data corruption alert (mostly for Linux users)

    The M550 (all released firmware), and the M500 (up to MU04 all released firmware) can cause data corruption when QUEUED TRIM is used. Since Crucial is not urging everyone to update to MU05 and are taking their time with the M550 update, I assume that Windows does not issue QUEUED TRIM by default, and therefore does not trigger the issue (yet). I have no idea about Intel RST enhanced windows drivers, MacOS or FreeBSD. Chances are they cannot trigger the bug, but you might want to check with the vendors.
     EDIT: The M500 MU05 firmware still has the QUEUED TRIM data-killer bug, there are no safe firmware versions.EDIT: This is a problem on several outdated versions of the Linux kernel, for the 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 and 3.17 branches. Linux releases older than 3.12 will NOT trigger the bug. Recent releases of the 3.12, 3.13, 3.14 and 3.17 branches have a blacklist in place and will NOT trigger the bug. The 3.15 and 3.16 kernels also have the blacklist, and won't trigger the firmware bug.
     Dangerous for use in kernels:3.12 (before 3.12.29);3.13 (before 3.13.7);
    3.14 (before 3.14.20);3.17 (before 3.17.1) - regression in the blacklist, fixed in 3.17.1. Safe kernels:anything before 3.12;3.12.29 and later;3.13.7 and later;3.14.20 and later;3.15 (all);3.16 (all);3.17.1 and later.Bug workaround for any kernel version (tanks performance down to a crawl on most workloads): disable NCQ in the kernel command line, by adding the libata.force=noncq parameter in the bootloader. The "uname -r" command will tell you the Linux kernel release you're running on.

  • Data corruption on MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR

    Hi all,
    Just got my new MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR up and running.
    Got some issues with the memory running at 200mhz while the Barton core of my Athlon Xp 2600+ was running 166mhz, this had to be 1:1 (thx forum  )
    While running the default bios settings with cpu/mem at 166/166 fsb everything is stable as hell. I have been running Prime95 for 2 days now and using the system for dvd ripping/encoding, UT2004 gaming etc.
    Then the overclocking began   I'm using the standard AMD cooler that came with my boxed Xp2600+ so I didn't expect an FSB of 200mhz.
    I stopped at an FSB of 190mhz...been crunching Prime95 for 18 hours now and again very stable.
    Now comes the problem : Sometimes I get crc errors when installing a game or decrypting a dvd!! But how can this be? Prime95 is stable at this 190fsb overclock.
    When using an FSB of 166mhz no data corruption or crc errors.
    What can this be? It's not the cables because they're all the same as in my old setup which was running (ahum...walking) stable. PCI/AGP speeds are locked when overclocking...
    Only thing I can think of is the power supply. I've read in a warning post from Bas that the Q-Tec 550w psu I have is crap. So my guess is PSU, but maybe it's something else I'm forgetting...Any suggestions??
    The stupid thing is when I'm not overclocking I don't have the data corruption problems, but I'm still using the same crappy Q-Tec 550w PSU.
    Help!  
    gr,
    Remco

    Hmmm, that's curious. On the MSI K7N2 Delta ILSR product page Kingston memory is recommended  
    Ok, did a Memtest86 v1.11 pass at cpu/dimm 166/166 - no problems whatsoever. I think using Prime95 would have revealed memory problems...but will do another pass with cpu/dimm at 190/190.
    Can overclocking affect the Promise Raid Controller?? It should be locked like the PCI/AGP but who knows...
    Well, I still have to replace my PSU but I'm not 100% sure that this is the problem. What PSU would you recommend? ...and I'm also thinking about replacing the standard CPU cooler, any advice is welcome  
    gr,

  • Hi apple user. I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Tried hold home button with sleep button but it doesn't get back my safari bookmarks. I also have reset without erasing my iPad data but still doesn't work. Help me get back my safari iPad bookmarks.

    Hi, I have lost all iPad safari bookmarks. Have tried reset without erasing data and hold home and sleep button together but when go to safari all safari bookmarks still lost. Is there any case help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks ? Currently my safari is hanged, can't surf webs or anything. I saw the safari tab on iCloud is on, but I don't know using iCloud. Please help me get back my iPad safari bookmarks. I have contact Apple but could not set chat session. I have my Apple ID registered same with iCloud, also same during the time I have all iPad safari bookmarks lost. My iPad never synced on computer since I bought it with set at local store. Please help me get my iPad safari bookmarks back, thanks.

    Hi, I quitted Safari and press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously unti the Ipad turn off and on with the logo Apple appears but it has hanged on and fixed to the point. I do it again hold the Home and Sleep buttons silmutaneously and the Ipad turn off and on again with the Apple logo but it still is hanged on the same point. I have do it a few more time, it still hanged to the same point for few hours with no change (like picture):
    I think my Ipad is fault now. I guess I must connect it to the computer with itune, or something. So my case is this: at the moment everytime I hold the Home and Sleep buttons the Ipad always off and reappear with the Apple logo and be hanged on (like the pic), and I need restoring my Ipad Safari bookmarks... so I guess I need using Itune or something to get back the Ipad then using Icloud or blah. Please guide me for the step, Im not sure if connect to PC, if any that my Ipad data would lost, or is there anyway that I also can get back Ipad Safari Bookmarks after connecting to PC, also the how using Icloud. There is no Apple store or service store in my country so I think I must do it my self. Feel free to share your guide, thanks.

  • How can I minimise data corruption?

    Mac OS X is great, and one of the greatest things it has achieved is an environment so stable that it almost never crashes.
    However, for me the next BIG problem with using computers is data corruption. Data corruption problems bug my life as much now as system freezes/crashes did 5 years ago.
    For some reason, it often seems to be preferences files that become corrupt. I don't know why, or whether other files are becoming corrupt too and I've not discovered it yet. Sometimes I wonder whether it's just because of all the junk I install, or the length of time it's been since doing a clean format. However, with my recent purchase of a Macbook, and within a couple of months having all my preference files becoming corrupt, this goes against those theories. My macbook has minimal amounts of software installed, and is generally kept quite simple.
    Obviously backing up is an important strategy, but that leads to a whole load of decisions like, how often to backup, do you keep incremental backups, do you restore absolutely everything when you discover 1 or 2 corrupt files (how do you know if others have become corrupt?).
    Correct shutting down is something I always do - unless something prevents me from doing so, like power cuts. I've also often had a problem with the sccreen remaining blank after macbook has slept or had the screensaver on. On occasion I've had to hold down the power button to shut it down and get it going again.
    I've looked into uninterruptible power supplies. Unfortunately, the ideal setup with additional battery to provide a few hours of power are very expensive. Also, should the macbook not be immune from problems caused by power fluctuations because of the battery? I certainly did get a system crash recently when there was a power cut - but at the time I just wondered if it was due to the wireless router going off.
    .mac and idisk seem to cause their share of problems. Again, I'm not sure if these are the cause or a consequence of the problems. I have iDisk syncing switched on, and on a few occasions it's vanished and I've had to reboot to get things back to normal. Recently there have been warnings of clashes between .mac and the local idisk.
    Filevault is another possible cause of problems. I've read people advising against it's use. However, if someone is willing to steal my macbook, I don't want that sort of person having access to anything, whether it's address book contacts, calendars, word documents or anything financial. OK, people suggest creating an encrypted disk image, but that doesn't solve the problem of preventing people accessing address book or ical.
    What I'd really like to know is, what are the main causes of data corruption. If I can identify the causes I might be better prepared for trying to prevent it. For example, if 99% of data corruption is due to power fluctuation then I might accept that I need to spend the money on a UPS.
    Once identifying the possible causes, what can be done to prevent them. Would a RAID 1 configuration protect against data corruption, or is it only good in cases of catastrophic drive failure? I've just purchased a 500GB external Firewire 800 drive, which raises the option of creating a RAID 1 with my 2 built in drives.
    Sorry for so many questions, but I just really need to get this sorted. Since moving from OS 9 to OS X this has regularly been my biggest cause of troubles.

    Hi, bilbo_baggins.
    You wrote: "What I'd really like to know is, what are the main causes of data corruption..."You've already identified them, but you seem reluctant to implement the procedures needed to mitigate or avoid those causes that can be mitigated or avoided, in particular:• Power outages or power problems.
    • Improper shutdowns.
    • Hardware problems or failures, e.g. hard drive failures, bad sectors, bad RAM, etc.
    • Bad programming.I can understand your position since:• Not everything one needs to run their computer comes in the box: additional money must be spent.
    • The solutions often seem more complex to implement than they really are. One needs some guidance, which again it does not come in the box, and few books address preventing problems before they occur.Here's my advice:
    1. Implementing a comprehensive Backup and Recovery Solution and using it regularly is essential to assure against data loss in the event of a hard drive failure or other problems. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ. Using a personal computer without backup and recovery is like driving without auto insurance. Likewise, without a Backup and Recovery solution, you are accepting the risk of potentially losing all of your data at some point.
    2. Perform the little bit of required, regular maintenance: see my "Maintaining Mac OS X" FAQ. It covers my advice on "regular maintenance" and dispels some common "maintenance myths."
    3, If you use a desktop Mac, you need an Uninterruptible Power Supply: power outages and other power problems —surges, spikes, brownouts, etc. — can not only cause data corruption but damage your hardware. I have complete advice on selecting a UPS in the "Protecting Against Power Problems" chapter in my book. Don't simply walk into a store and by the first UPS recommended by a clerk: the UPS needs to be configured and sized to match your computer setup. You don't need hours of battery run time: 10-15 minutes is sufficient to save your work and perform a proper shutdown, or for a modern UPS to perform an automatic shutdown if your computer is running in your absence.
    4. If you regularly "solve" problems by performing a hard restart (pressing and holding the power button or, on Macs so equipped, the restart button), then go back to work without first troubleshooting the cause of the problem, you risk letting a small problem compound into a larger problem. At a minimum, after a hard restart your should:• Run the the Procedure specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ.
    • Then troubleshoot the cause of the problem that led to the hard restart.My book also has an entire chapter on methods for troubleshooting "Freezes and Hangs."
    5. Likewise, hoping that by installing a Mac OS X Update will fix a problem, or simply reinstalling one, without first checking for other problems, can make a bad problem worse. Before installing software updates, you may wish to consider the advice in my "Installing Software Updates" FAQ. Taking the steps therein before installing an update often helps avert problems and gives you a fallback position in case trouble arises.
    6. FileVault does not corrupt data, but it, like any hard drive or disk imge, doesn't respond well to the causes cited above. This is why it is essential to regularly backup your encrypted Home folder using a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution. FileVault is an "all your eggs in one basket" solution: if bad sectors develop on the hard drive in the area occupied by your encrypted Home folder, you could lose all the data therein without a backup.
    7. RAID: IMO, unless one is running a high-volume transaction server with a 99.999% ("Five Nines") availability requirement, RAID is overkill. For example, unless you're running a bank, a brokerage, or a major e-commerce site, you're probably spending sums of time and money with RAID that could be applied elsewhere.
    RAID is high on the "geek chic" scale, low on the "average user" practicality scale, and high on the "complex to troubleshoot" scale when problems arise. The average user is better served by implementing a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution and using it regularly.
    8. I don't use .Mac — and hence, don't use an iDisk — so I can't advise you there. However, I suspect that if you're having problems with these, and the causes are unrelated to issues of Apple Server availability, then I'd suspect they are related to the other issues cited above.
    9. You can't completely avoid problems caused by bad programming, but you can minimize the risk by not installing every bit of shareware, freeware, or beta code you read about just to "try it out." Stick to reliable, proven applications — shareware or freeware offerings that are highly rated on sites like MacUpdate and VersionTracker — as well as commercial software from major software houses. LIkewise, a Backup and Recovery solution can help here.
    10. Personal computers today are not much more advanced than automobiles were in the 1920's and '30s: to drive back then, you had to be part mechanic as well as driver. Cars today still require regular maintenance. It's the same with personal computers today: you need to be prepared for troubleshooting them (mechanic) as well as using them (driver). Computer hardware can fail, just as autos can break down, usually at the worst possible moment.
    People whose homes or offices have several Macs, a network, and the other peripherals normally associated with such setups — printers, scanners, etc. — are running their own data centers but don't know it. Educating yourself is helpful: my "Learning About Mac OS X" FAQ has a number of resources that you will find helpful including books, online training, and more. My book focuses exclusively on troubleshooting, with a heavy emphasis on preventing problems before they occur and being prepared for them should they arise.
    Good luck!

  • How do I get my iPad data back?

    I decided that I want to sell my iPad 1st generation, version 5.1.1 and buy a new iPad. How do I get my iPad data into the new iPad? Step by step please. Thank you.

    Connect the old iPad to your computer.
    Launch iTunes
    Right click on the iPad name on the left side under devices and select - Transfer purchases - let that process complete.
    Right click on the iPad again and select - Backup - let that complete.
    Sync the iPad with iTunes.
    Eject the iPad and quit iTunes.
    Connect the new iPad
    Launch iTunes
    If you are not prompted to do so when the iPad is connected to iTunes, right click on the iPad name like you have done before - and select  - Restore from Backup
    Select the backup of the old iPad and let the process complete.
    Sync the iPad with iTunes.
    Eject the iPad.
    On the old iPad...
    Go to Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings and that will totally erase the iPad.
    Sell the iPad.
    Send the proceeds from the sale of the old iPad to me! I typed a lot of stuff here.

  • My iPad is logged into my iCloud account, but my wife's iTunes. I have uploaded video footage from my iPhone to my iCloud. It appears on the iPad but is not accessible in iMovie? What's the fix?

    My iPad is logged into my iCloud account, but my wife's iTunes. I have uploaded video footage from my iPhone to my iCloud. It appears on the iPad but is not accessible in iMovie? What's the fix?

    You shouldn't have to change your iTunes account to not have to purchase it twice.  If your devices are using different iTunes IDs, just purchase it on one device, then import it to your iTunes library by connecting the device to your computer, opening iTunes and going to File>Devices>Transfer Purchases.  Once in iTunes, you should be able to sync it to your other device (assuming both devices are syncing with the same iTunes library).  (And even if they were syncing with separate libraries, you could use Home Sharing to copy the app from one library to the other.)
    Or, am I missunderstanding something?

  • Can I use a portable hard drive for ipad data storage?

    Can I use a portable hard drive for ipad data storage?  I want an iPad mini, but don't want to get a large one (memorywise) along with cellular capability.  I remember that the old iPads coiuld not communicate via their iPhone connector to transfer data.  So can I do that iwth the newest iPad mini via the lightning connector somehow?  Thanks, Tom

    No. But you can with Seagate's wireless GoDrive.

  • Data corruption with SSD after hard reset

    Hi, I'm using a Mac Mini for a car product and I MUST shut it down each time the hard way, i.e. by cutting the power.
    I am perfectly aware that this is definitely NOT the recommended way to shut down OSX because it might lead to data corruption but at the moment there are NO other options. So please don't simply suggest to shut it down the "good way", i.e. via software, because it simply isn't an option.
    Now, in the past I did lots of ON/OFF tests with conventional drives and had no problems. Recently I moved to SSD drives and it looks like I get more frequent boot problems (apple logo with the wheel spinning forever). Using DiskWarrior in these cases fixes the problem and repairs the folder structure of the drive. After that the drive boots again.
    Given the constraints for the application, i.e. shutdown==powercut, is there any way I can ensure better data integrity? If I disable write caching would that help? Any other trick I could do to make the system more resilient? And finally, are actually SSD more prone to crashes of this kind or was that just a coincidence?
    Thanks a lot for the help, I hope some of you has experienced this problem in a similar situation (and found a good solution)
    cheers
    Emanuele

    There are OSX compatible UPSs that send status information to the computer via USB. This enables the computer to do a normal shutdown before the UPS battery runs out. Here's an example of the system preference that will show when a compatible UPS is connected:
    <http://www.cyberpowersystems.com/support/faqs/faqOSXUPS.html>
    Do you think disabling write caching would help at all?
    It might, but the problem may be entirely in the SSD. Do you have journaling enabled on the SSD? That could make a big difference.
    Finally, I'm using OCZ Solid 2. Do you have any comment on that or do you recommend something different? I doubt that SLC drives would help in this matter.
    You would have to contact the SSD makers and ask them how well they handle power failures. It should be possible to make them no worse than a normal hard drive, but there may be some compromises they have to make for performance reasons.

  • Firefox 10.0.2 causes "image data corrupted" warning message during update try on OSX 10.7.3?

    I tried to update firefox 10.0.0 to 10.0.2 on Mac Pro OSX 10.7.3 which failed with warning "Image data corrupted". Any ideas what to do?

  • HT5167 image data corrupted message when installing anything. Please help!!

    A couple of days ago something happened and now every time I tried to install an app i receive the following mesage: (app being installed file name).dmg image data corrupt. Can anyone point me in the right direction please???

    All of the posters need to take their system to an Apple Genuis bar and have whatever is wrong with them fixed.
    It is either some software you have installed. The hard drive has become corrupted in some way or you have a hardware problem.
    Or all of the above.

    Apple is warning users of its latest Macbook Pro about an issue with the laptop that may cause data corruption.The tech giant released a firmware update on Wednesday to fix a problem on the laptop's flash storage component.The 15-inch mid 2015 range Retina model is affected, with corruption occurring in "rare cases", the company said.News of the warning comes as thousands of Macbook owners are campaigning for action over stains appearing on the laptop's retina screen.http://www.bbc.com/news/technology-33652239(Incidentally...this device has a starting price of £1599......) 

    When I was a lot younger I vowed I would NEVER say 'in my day etc etc etc'....so I wont....Instead I will say when my Mum and Dad bought their house.....it cost them £350......

  • Oracle Personal Edition, data corruption in Long datatype column

    Oracle Personal Edition, data corruption in Long datatype column
    DATA Corruption in Oracle 8i Personal edition
    I am using a Long data type column to store a big text. In oracle Enterprise edition the data stored correctly. But in the Oracle Personal Edition, the Long data type column data corrupted. Some letters in the text are replaced by special character chr(0).
    The following data has been taken from a column (Which is of data type LONG).
    1. In the first one column name Template_ID stored correctly but in the second one T is missing. Some special characters has stored in that place. (Difference is in 6th Line)

  • Data Corruption and Recovery Planning

    I have two questions with regards to data file integrity and recovery as my office tries to plan out our FCS use. These are both hypothetical scenarios and also something people may already have experience with.
    1) Has anyone experienced data corruption within FCS and the assets stored on the server? Is anyone using checksum to manage and review file integrity and what is the best process to do so? If someone has faced issues with corruption in files, what are your responses to correct the issue?
    -(we are using a drobo and backing up the catalog, but is this enough protection for the data 5+ years down the line? What are your suggestions for additional protection of files, specifically against file corruption issues, as even the server drives where the files are uploaded to on the drobo can eventually face file corruption?)
    2) Has anyone used FCS to catalogue assets and decided that they wish to use another program and if so, what was/is your method of exporting the files and metadata to the other program? Was it successful? How time consuming was the process and did you have to redevelop the metadata fields in the other program, or was the mapping process simple? Is an intermediary program useful to transfer files, and what program would that be?
    - Thank you in advance

    1- None of my dozens of FCSvr clients have ever had data corruption, it's a non-issue for FCSvr.  It is an issue for hard drives and digital files in general, and is not a FCSvr issue.
    2- Full asset and catalog backups on a daily basis are nessisary if you're using this for a business.  There are several solutions that work with FCSvr.
    3- If you want to move assets to another database, you can export them from the FCSvr client app.  Or just copy the files from the Device they're stored on directly.  FCSvr saves metadata in the catalog database, so only what is stored nativly in each asset's file format will be readable by a diffrent file server solution.  None of my clients have left FCSvr, all are happy with it.
