Help - need to recover documents!

I had to restore my iPad about 2 months ago, and the only things showing up on my iCloud are those I have created since the restore. Is there anyway to recover Pages documents from before my restore?

Try holding down the Option key at power on.
You should get a solid blue screen 2 buttons, one containing a circular arrow and the other with an arrow pointing to the right. The mouse cursor should be a spinning watch.
After some time, the pointer should turn back to the usual arrow, and you should see a hard drive icon with the old OS X logo (a blue X in a white circle.) You may also get another HD icon with the OS9 logo.
click the OSX icon, then the arrow that points to the right.
This should boot to OS X. Once there, go to the system disk control pane and set the default boot folder to OS X.
If you get no icons, click the circular arrow and wait for the system to rescan the drives for bootable systems.

can you please tell how to restore
yes it is a datafile corruptionYou did not say how you defined that's a datafile corruption. You provide minimum to zero information.
I just need to bring the database up,no need any exact data
I can refresh from prod laterThen drop and recreate database. Basically and since you are not in archive mode, no recover is possible. Period.
Nicolas.Hi,
How did you come to the conclusion that your datafile is corrupted? Can you provide and supported logs?

Help needed to recover corrupt virtual disk - No snapshots

Hi
Please could somebody help me.
I was running Clean Up Virtual Machine and then I Force Quit Fusion. Now I can't start my VM. I have run vmware_vdiskmanager to try and recover the virtual disk, but I get the following error.
VixDiskLib: Invalid configuration file parameter. Failed to read configuration file.
The virtual disk, '/Users/juan-emil/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Virtual Disk.vmdk', is corrupted and cannot be repaired.
In an attempt to solve the problem I created snapshots to see if I can recover from them, but all I did was to un-associate my fusion with the virtual disk.
What do I do. Please somebody help. I cannot afford to loss this VM. All my work is on it.

If even vmware-vdiskmanager cannot repair the .vmdk file anymore, then I'm afraid that you may need to revert to your latest backup. What may be worth a try though is to see whether another start of the clean process will work!?
Other than the above, you can try to contact continuum, who may have further ideas.

Help needed to recover lost photos, please!

Please help! All 49,537 photos in our iPhoto library have suddenly disappeared. A hopeful fact is that the 512 gigs they recently filled has not reappeared on Finder as available space. Might someone out there in the ether be able to help? Please?

If your profile is correct about the library and system versions apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager 3.8.6 and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

Help needed to view documents send in .pdf portfolio - only gray screen visible

Various clients are complaining that they are unable to view/retrieve documents I have forwarded in .pdf portfolio format. All they see is a blank - grey - screen. Any help to resolve this would be appreciated.

Make sure they are opening the files in Adobe Reader or Acrobat only, or in Internet Explorer using one of those. Make sure you understand the various ways they might open the file without using Adobe Reader or Acrobat, such as in FireFox, Chrome or Safari, or Preview on a Mac. Make sure they have a sufficiently up to date copy of Reader/Acrobat too.

Help needed in recovering files/folders after using xfs_repair

So it started out with whammy! Some files were not playing (audio) which previously they were doing fine without any issue !
So I thought of changing the permission and got many errors regarding abnormal inodes and since I was using XFS filesystem I tried fixing the issue by using xfs_repair
Now the catch is that during the repair xfs_repair wizard deleted many folders and stated a message that "moving to lost+found"
The issue is I am not able to locate any folders in /lost+found and whats intriguing is that most of the inodes and links to the folders (deleted/moved) are still visible with ls -l
Please find the dump of the commands
1. chwon and xfs_repair - http://bpaste.net/show/173394/
2. ls -l - http://bpaste.net/show/173401/
Is there any way I can fix the partition and recover the file/folders that have been missing/moved and/or deleted?
Some help will be appreciated
regards

Can anyone please shed some light on the recovery portion!
Thanks

Help needed to recover info on iPad2 (restore state)

Hi!
I've a real problem.
My mother has an iPad, and she says that when try to connect to iTunes (on PC not Mac), the iPad goes to restore state.
It appears on the screen the iTunes logo with the USB wire, and waits to be connected.
If I connect to a iTunes (Mac or PC), on the computer screen appears a warning message saying:
"iTunes had detected an iPad on restore state. You must restore this iPad to use it with iTunes" (it's the translation of the spanish message "iTunes ha detectado un iPad en modo recuperación. Debe restaurar este iPad para poder usarlo en iTunes.").
But now, when i try to "recover" the iPad via iTunes, appears a new message:
"Are you sure you want to restore to factory settings of the iPad? All of it contents and stored data will be erased and the latest version of the software wil be installed", with two buttons: "Restore & upadate" and "Cancel".
I think she had tried to update to IOS 6 ...
But my mam said me: "I have all the pictures on the iPad ... don't delete it !!!!"
Now the 1 million question: Can I retrieve, in this iPad state, any information stored in it? Or I can pray to get a divine intevention?
Thnaks in advantage (and my apologies for my "spaninglish".

If the pictures on the iPad are in the camera roll and your mom has not imported them to her computer, or if she has not backed up the iPad with iCloud or iTunes, when you restore the iPad they will be erased and there is no way to save them.
If these are photos that she synced to the iPad from iTunes, she doesn't have to worry about losing the photos because they would still have to be on her computer somewhere - since that is where she would have synced them from.
So you need to find out if she backs up her iPad or if she did import them to the computer.
If she has no backup and the photos are not on the computer - her choices are restore the iPad and have a working device again and lose the photos - or keep the photos on an iPad that she can't use anyway and will not be able to get the photos no matter what she does.
Really seems like an easy choice if you think about it that way.

Help needed to recover migrated bookmarks

HT1766 emergency help needed to recover deleted contacts from Iphone

Here is the situtation that occured that resulted in deleting all the 500+ contacts in my iphone
A couple of days ago, I went to the mobile phone store and bought an iphone 4s upgrade package. I have been using an iphone 3s for the late couple of years.
recently I upgraded the software of the old iphone and received the icloud software and backed up all the data to the cloud.
Now during the upgrade to the iphone 4s the shop assistant set up the new phone and transfered the sim etc to the new phone, I was unaware that the new iphone was now a clone of my old iphone with all my old data and a live sync to the icloud and itunes etc.
When I got home I decided that I would give the new phone to my wife, so I proceeded to delete all the data off the new phone, this involved manually deleting all 500+ contacts in the address book, bar a few close friends that my wife knows, to safe her reentering the data.
What I did not know was that the phone was syncing to the icloud/itunes everytime i hit delete and deleted a contact from the icloud and also from my old iphone that I am still using, so now I have 2 x iphones with no contact data.
I have lost 15years of accumulated business and personal contact info, 75% of which I have no way of recovering from other sources.
My obvious questions is, is there any way of restoring my iphone's contact data from an earlier version of the the auto sync backup ie from 2 days ago ie the 18th June 2012 and not the sync'd backup from today or this evening?
OR is my life lost for ever?
can anyone help?
Thanks and regards
John

Unless you backed up somewhere else before deleting the contacts and not since, i.e. iTunes on your computer, sorry but no. The backups are overwritten each time there is changed data - old backups on iCloud aren't saved.
There is no way to restore any data deleted from an iOS device if it isn't in an available backup.

Lost All data after iPhone 3GS upgrade .. Help needed to RECOVER !!..

Hi ,
I have been backing up my iPhone in my laptop for almost 3 years. My laptop is crashed now.
Today I thought of upgrading the software from my PC. so I installed itunes and upgraded the software.
I am sure it made a copy of back up before doing SOFTWARE update.
But when the update is about to finish. It throwed an error message popup and said update failed.
I got instructions on the display that my iPHONE is been restored.
But after RESTORING, I am not able to see any APPs in my phone. It looks like a clean phone.
I am worried as I have plenty of apps and data on it.
I am able to see several backup with different time when I click RESTORE backup. I almost tried everything and still could nt see the apps.
Is there a way I can restore my old apps with data?
Thanks.

It's pretty much guaranteed to work if it's at all possible to recover your contacts, although other simpler solutions may work too and some are discussed there.
