Wiped my hard drive worried about my notes and other app data

Because of a bad DD command I wiped my hard drive unexpectedly. I am not to worried about my music witch I had backed up but I am worried about the notes, and data in some of the applications on my touch. When I reinstall Windows and Sync will I be able to do something about that?

I believe you are out of luck. Applications can be downloaded again but the data is likely going to be toast. Try googling iPod to PC and see if any of the programs meant to copy content can also handle notes and app data.

Re-installing FCP & Wiping Out Hard Drive, Worried about Losing Project

Ok so computer needs a factory re-install, need to clean it out and re-install FCP and everything. I have projects I've been working on in Final Cut Pro and I'm worried even though I save all the raw footage, rendered files, and project files on external hard drive, that when I go to put it back on my computer it's going to get all screwed up and mixed up, is there any easy way to do this? Or should I just finish my projects first and then re-install everything on my computer?

If you do decide to re-install and have never used Media Manager. Here is an excellent video on how the use Media Manager from PixelCrop/MacBreak:

The best approach would be to take the iPad to the school's IT person and see what is going wrong, why it will not accept your sign-in. That person can make sure the userid and password are correct on the iPad.

I able to copy and paste files from external hard drive to mac, but not the other way around. Please suggest. Thanks

I m able to copy and paste selected files from external hard drive to my mac but not the other way around. Im not able to copy files from Mac to external hard drive.
The same is working fine with USB flash memory.
Please help.

Don't use NTFS, remove your data off it first and change the format to something the Mac and PC can read, but doens't cost money or require software.

My MacBook Pro's hard drive is about full, can I move a lot of the data to my 3 TB Time Capsule?

I have a late 2011 MacBook Pro 17 Inch with 750 GB of space on its hard drive. About a month and half ago I bought a 3 TB Time Capsule and I know that Time Capsule, together with Time Machine, basically takes periodic snapshots of your hard drive and will rearrange/clean/delete files on your hard drive. What I want to know is that since I'm about to run out of space on the internal hard drive can I move a good chunk of the data into the Time Capsule and free up that data on internal hard drive. Videos take up about 75% of my MacBook Pro's hard drive so video's are my biggest problem. If I can't do this with the Time Capsule I guess that's a con of the Time Capsule/Time Machine.
Thank you to anyone that answers!

You should be able to do that by partitioning but then how would that data be backed up? If the Time Capsule drive fails, then all of that data is lost. I would suggest you consider an additional external HDD for redundancy unless the video files are of no importance.
Ciao.

I was thinking of getting a MacBook however I'm a bit worried about it not having enough memory or hard drive space unlike other laptop?

oother laptops have 500gb or 250gb or 1tb so I was a bit worried about the macbook storage and if it will be enough?

The MacBook Air has an SSD, not a mechanical hard drive and since SSDs are more expensive drive sizes tend to be smaller. When I first installed an SSD in my previous notebook I went from having a 750GB mechanical drive to a 256GB SSD. That forced me to rethink how I used the drive since I was using about 600GB of that hard drive. I moved all my music, video, and photos to an external drive since I really didn’t need to keep all that stuff on my notebook which reduced my usage down to well below 300GB. I then began taking a look at the programs, utilities, templates, etc to see what I’d pack ratted away ‘just in case’. Removing most of that stuff took me down to just above 200GB.
The 13” MBA has an SD RAM slot and there are several different products that let you put a card in that doesn’t stick out like a normal SD card would. I have a 64GB card that I keep a selection of music, video, and photos. There are also mini USB cards that have just a little nob sticking out when inserted into the computer that can provide additional space.
Only you can determine if the trade-off for hard drive speed vs lost space (and longer battery life) is worth it.

My pc recently caught a virus, which has wiped my hard drive. I had itunes on it and would like to know if my music is stored on my computer or on the net? So if i download itunes onto another computer will i be able to get it or not?

My PC recently got a virus and wiped the hard drive. I used itunes for my ipod. I would like to know if the music i had on itunes is stored on my computer or on the net? So in other words can i still access my itunes from a different computer?

Your purchased music is availble for download again at no cost. If you have iTunes match service, you can download your matched music.

Wiping the hard drive

Hi
After windows failed and recovery discs did not work, failed on the second disc. If i wiped the hard drive using active killdisc and then used recovery discs (made at time of purchace) what are the chances of if working or do we buy HP recovery discs.

Windows Vista 32 bit
nothing changed and working ok before windows failed
This question was solved.

Hi,
If your recovery Discs don't work at the moment, there are no downsides as such, it literally just writes zeros to the entire HDD and this can resolve problems with Recovery Discs not working on drives that have been partially wiped - as I mentioned before, it's important to select the (80h) option, then press f10 to wipe all existing partitions before trying your recovery discs again.
There is a similar thread to yours that you may want to read Here.
If you want to try this, you can download and install Killdisk on the link below.
http://software.lsoft.net/KillDiskSuiteFree-Setup.exe
Go to the Kill Disk application you have installed in All Programs, open the main folder, then select Bootable Disk creators and from that select Bootable DOS CD Creator which will burn the bootable ISO to a blank CD.
Do not worry about any warnings as your Recovery DVDs will reformat the HDD.
Regards,
DP-K

I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?

I'm having some difficulty with Time Machine. It appears to be deleting backups from random dates on my external hard drive. I am not deleting them. Are they hidden and how do I prevent this from happening? Can I retrieve them?

... I didn't know that Time Machine was more a last resort back up instead of main back up.
Don't rely upon Time Machine to the exclusion of all else. I compliment Time Machine with a periodic "clone". TM is much better than nothing, but it's a safety net, not a hammock
Here is my understanding of Time Machine's file deletion algorithm, distilled from Pondini's FAQ, Apple's KB articles, and my own observations.
Time Machine deletes ("thins") files from the backup disk as follows:
Hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first backup of the day
Daily backups over 30 days old, except the first backup of the week
Older backups get deleted when Time Machine requires space and you deleted them from the source disk.
Therefore, assuming TM has been performing at least one backup per day, backup files will remain available:
at least thirty days, if they existed on your Mac for at least a day
until you run out of space, if they existed on your Mac for at least a week
In addition to the above, Time Machine always keeps one complete copy of your source disk so that the entire volume could be restored if necessary. Any files that remain on your source volume will be present on the TM backup, no matter how old they are.
If you are using 250 GB of space on your source disk, its Time Machine backups are likely to require at least twice that much. A good estimate of the minimum required backup volume size would be about three times the size of your source disk - 1.5 TB in your case.
A more thorough explanation would require Pondini since he has plumbed Time Machine's mysteries far more than I have.

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Thanks!

Using Mac OSX Install Disc 1, I am not able to get any further than the Partition tab. It allows me to select my hard drive selection, but will not allow me to make any other selections such as options. Does anyone know their way around this obstacle? Am I doing anything wrong? Thanks

Hello, The Hatter, I read about the 'trick' of backing up, erasing, and restoring too, but I figured it would take longer than defragmenting the disk.
But the defragmentation process has just finished! so I'm gonna try to run Boot Camp again soon!
Thanks for your helpfulness, anyway.
And P.S. I didn't clone my system onto the external drive, I just inserted the Mac OS X Install CD, rebooted holding down the "C" key, and installed a fresh Snow Leopard system onto the predetermined partition. I will use that in cases of emergency, when my main/internal system becomes unusable.

I have created a slide show with music but when i view it or attempt to burn to a CD or even copy to hard drive after about 15 sec the program stops working and it shuts down

I Also can't sign in to adobe with the program. It simply spins and I had to force close the program.

I am using photoshop Elements 10 under the create tab...slide show.
Used it on my desktop several times. Deactivated it and installed on new lap top about 5 months ago. Had not used it other than for photo editing until today.

My eMac won't update to 10.5.8 from 10.3.5 after I wiped the hard drive clean

I was wiping the hard drive of my eMac that at the time HAD a good running copy of OS X 10.5.8 on it. Now obviously I did not want to reinstall from a back up because I'm donating the eMac to a non-profit and wanted no data from me, the previous owner, on it..
I do have the original discs, but they only install OS X 10.3.5 on the eMac. When I tried to update the OS to 10.5.8, where I had it running before wiping, I got a message that the "Bill of materials was not included for this package" (or something to that effect), so the eMac would not allow me to update the OS with the newly downloaded software.
Now what?

Thank you both so very much! I have found my Leopard DVD and am installing it as I write this on a different computer. The missing link, no doubt. I presume that after I install the 10.5 Leopard, I can then add the update that sits on my desktop now?
Again, thank you so much.

I got a Model Number: A1181, My hard drive burned out. I bouhgt a new hard drive Wd Scorpio 500 GB. When i tried to install the MAC OS, it identies a hard drive with 3.6 TB and i'm not able to do the installation.

Any ideas what do i have to do?

Well, let's hope that nothing was jiggled out of place when you were installing the new hard drive. Your optical drive may just be out of alignment or the disc you have is "dirty." Get a lint-free cloth and some rubbing alcohol, then clean the disc as thoroughly as you can starting from the center and working outward in a concentric circlular motion. See if that helps. In particular clean the inner portion well.
If this does not help, then you have a problem. You have opened the computer yourself. That action voids all support from Apple. If you take the computer in for service the store may refuse to service the computer. This is not related to your now expired warranty.
