What are the iphoto files I need to restore iphoto library deleted from drive

A few days ago my hard drive started making noises and I was getting all sorts of errors.  I even got errors trying to do a time machine backup with the final error being "backup failed".
Earlier last week I imported a couple hundred photos of my kids from Christmas to present which also included our vacation last month.  I deleted the photos from my camera after the import.  Then foolishly, I didn't think to do any time machine backups between then and the time my hard drive started making noise.
I bought a new SSD drive.  I could still access the bad drive so I moved my pictures directory from the bad drive to the new drive.  It took nearly two hours.  It appeared to have moved everything, but it did not move the iphoto library.  The pictures directory is gone from the old hard drive. 
I purchased FileSalvage and recoved thousands of deleted jpg files from my old drive, but none appear to be the pictures I lost. 
It appears that FileSalvage will recover specific file types.  There doesn't seem to be a way to just tell it to recover the deleted "pictures" directory or recover "iphoto library".
If I was able to specify specific file names to restore, what files would I even need to specify?   I have iphoto 11. 
I came across an article about iphoto library files from iphoto 6 and previous versions which explained the following iphoto files: library.iphoto6, albumdata.xml, Thumb32Segment.data, Thumb64Segment.data, ThumbJPGSegment.data, etcxxxxx.
mmm
Does iphoto 11 use similar file names?  I'm not concerned with keeping my iphoto database in tact.  I just want my pictures.
Maybe I'm asking the wrong question.  Any advice on how to get my pictures back would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!!

Simply, you can't recover the iPhoto Library. What you need to do is try recover the Photos that were in it. These will be saved as jpeg files* and that's what you need to search for. Recovering all the other files will do no good. You won't be alble to reconstruct the Library. Your aim is to get the Photos and then start over.
The search may find many files of the same name, try to recover the largest files - they are most likely to be your originals.

    Well, try this (I was able to fix my with these steps):
    Go Utilities > Disk Utility
    Select your Startup Disk, e.g. Macintosh HD
    Then, under the First Aid Tab, click Verify Disk Permissions.
    If there are errors, then click repair Disk Permissions.
    After it is done, restart the computer and see if your problem is resolved.
    I hope this help.

    If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can get a clue to what it is, and potentially use it, by going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and clicking 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you should see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
    If you don't have, or don't want to use, your rescue email address (you won't be able to add/change it until you can answer 2 of your questions) then you will need to contact iTunes Support or Apple to get them reset (which will be by phone as they need to verify your id - we are fellow users here on these forums).
    e.g. you can try contacting iTunes Support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page, then Account Management , and then 'Forgotten Apple ID security questions'
    or try ringing Apple in your country and ask to talk to the Accounts Security Team : http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to add/change rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312 . Or you could change to 2-step verification : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5570

    What are the exact AM parameters(Pooling and Scalability tab) to be set when we planned for 500+ concurrent users?
    Along with this do we need to set any parameters at weblogic server level, if any please give inputs.
    Any input's would be appreciated.
    Thanks in advance.

    We can?t give you exact numbers as there are many factors influencing the performance. In hte end you have to make a load test to find the right set of parameters.

  • What are the data files in the Proxies folder?

    In the iMovie Projects folder tree there are folders called Proxies. In that folder there is a folder called the name of the projects events folder, twice, with %20 for spaces and such. In that folder there are a large number of data files like 2010.data and such. What are these data files? In one case there are 861 of them and they take up 5.1 MB. Thanks.

    An iMovie project is a bundle?
    Yes. What appears in the Finder as a singel file is really a bundle of files.
    But what are they?
    I can't tell you exactly - but I'm sure there's data there that allows iMovie to undo things you've already done, references the event clips used in the movie, thumbnails, backups, transitions you've used - that kind of thing.
    I deleted them on a junk project and so no ill effect, though I didn't check all the things you can do with a project.
    Even so, I'd restrict that kind of experimentation to junk projects.
    Regardless of whether it's safe to delete them, I'd like to know what they are.
    Fair question. I wish I could tell you more.

  • What are the installer(setups) I need to install for webcenter Portal

    I use a 32bit laptop now and I want to start working on webcenter portal. What are the applications I need to install in order so I can successfully get my webcenter working. I already have installed Jdeveloper 11.1.1.6.0
    Thanks

    This depends on what exactly you mean by 'my webcenter'.
    If all you want is develop your own webcenter applications (using the WebCenter Framework), you might be good to go only with the webcenter jdev plug-in (see http://www.oracle.com/ocom/groups/public/@otn/documents/webcontent/156082.xml#oracle.webcenter.app). Your apps will be deployed to the integrated WLS. There will be two important missing pieces:
    a) WebCenter Content as the document storage (requires also a database)
    b) BPEL/BPM as the workflow engine
    You might also want to install WebCenter Portal: Spaces, or deploy your apps to a separate WebCenter Portal server (running on its own Weblogic Server).
    Optionally, you might also want to utilize other servers contained in the WebCenter Portal license such as Secure Enterprise Search for enterprise searching and/or Oracle Access Manager for enabling single sign-on between the above mentioned components.

I've tried the anamorphic -- but viewer doesn't connect to camera -- sorry this is so rudimentary but if anyone can help me get it going, I'd be very grateful. Thank you!

    If your footage is DV NTSC, it is anamorphic if it's widescreen. You should be able to simply use the "Easy Setup" for DV NTSC Anamorphic and edit your heart out.
    If you can't see the camera, might trash preferences: http://fcprescue.andersholck.com/
