Biggest Blunder of my Life? Reformatted 1tb of Samples and Videos NEED HELP
i reformatted a tb of samples , music, videos, some are backed up but its months of work that isn't.
is there a disk i can buy to recover? or any other suggestions. i feel like throwing up.
thanks
Just don't panic. I have more experience of recovering files on PC but you should find a specific type of recovery for if the drive has been formatted as opposed to just files deleted. Don't be too quick to consider that the files are lost if the first attempt/software doesn't work. Another bit of software might do 100% better than the first depending on the quality of software and condition of the files but if you've done a straight format of the drive and nothing else there is a good chance the files are there and recoverable.
It will be a slow process though as you have such a lot of data to recover - don't rush it and don't give up too quick! Good luck!

You can, but it is not possible to continue backups "seamlessly" from one Time Capsule to the other.
Time Machine will make a new complete backup of each Mac on the first pass when you connect the new 3TB Time Capsule. -
So I'm getting an iPhone c for Christmas and I wanted to know buy like a cover for it. You know how it has the rubber cover can I take it off and put on it a plastic one or whatever. Please answer me!!
I read your question as if you can remove the coloured back of iphone5c and put on another one
if so then no I believe the rubber ones with colours and holes I linked to can be switchted between but I don't believe the back coloured part of iphone5c comes off -
Dear all,
I am new to this community even though I have been a Apple user for years, so please forgive me if this question is not in the right section.
Has anyone encountered drastic shorter battery life both on iphone 5 and ipad since updating to iOS 6.1.2? I've always been happy with these two products until the update - now the battery life is considerably shorter which is extremely frustrating.
How can this problem be solved? Is there any way to go back to the previous version?
Thanks for your help.If you update using iTunes the phone is first wiped clean, then the new OS is installed, and finally the backup is restored. After this finishes if you sync your music should be restored. Music is not in the backup, because it is already on your computer and duplicating it would use up a lot of hard disk space.
An OTA update just patches what has changed; it does not disturb content. -
Hi All,
I was given a macbook pro with parallel windows, and later windows was remove but hard disk space is greyed out and could not be merge and when i run a 'verify disk' it told me to reformat my OS. The nearest service centre is real far away from me and i hope to solve this on my own. I need to keep my applications and files, how do i do so? As some of these applications was given by my company. I need help on keeping my files and reformating.
Thanks in advance.
MelCGet an external drive and make a clone of your internal, erase the internal, set it for 1 partition (OSX Journaled) and restore the clone.

i have a seagate 1tb hard drive and a 16gb memory stick, how do i transfer avi files from one to another as the click drag and drop wont work, please help?
Greetings,
What happens when you drag it?
Make sure the drive you are moving the files to has enough available space to receive the file:
Click on the movie file and go to File > Get Info and note the "size"
Check the drive to which you are moving the file to make sure it has enough available space: https://idisk.me.com/madisonfile-Public/web/finder-drive-available-space-and-for mat.html
Also note the format of the drive you are copying too. If it is not Mac OS Extended or FAT (not recommended unless you are taking it to a windows computer) then that may be the issue.
Hope that helps. -
How long does it take to reformat a hard drive and do a system recovery?
I have a Satellite 2405-S201 that was infected with a virus. I decided to use the Toshiba recovery discs that came with the computer to reformat the hard drive and restore the system to its original factory status. I started with the recovery process using Disc 1 and it now seems stuck. Its been at least 2 hours since I started and the screen is blank. Occasionally the CD drive spins up but nothing else seems to happen. Any ideas on what I should do next? Should I leave it be and see what happens? Or should I attempt to restart the process? Something else?
When my imac was new in 2002 the drive turned out to be defective. Apple replaced it, but it still took about a week, even with the part in stock at the local (US) Apple Store. I would expect it to take longer these days, when it's an outdated machine and so not one requiring parts they'd likely have in stock.

I just got a WD My Passport 1TB External Harddrive and i have already backed everything up to it but im still a little nervous about erasing things off the physical drive on my macbook pro since it says my disk utility is out of space an implying i need to erase items.
I cant find the options to erase selected items it only shows that i can erase everything.
I mean technically i suppose i could erase everything an have a fresh start since its backed up to my external. But what exactly are the specific items being erased?
I have bought the newest OS X 10.8.2 an worried that it will get erased also an end up having to repurchase it.
Can anyone help me?

If you are trying to delete some files get out of Disk Utility, it is not for that!
How did you backup and what are you trying to achieve?
Please post the exact error messages(s) you have received. -

I have to reformat my hard drive and reinstall all of my programs. What do I do about Creative Cloud? I also still need access to CS6 (I have a Marksware converter for InDesign to Quark).
This is a MacBook Pro 15" (Model number A1286) running Mavericks. Hard drive is fine but system software has been corrupted. I cannot simply restore from Time Machine as it will copy the corrupt system.
Will I have to find all of my serial numbers before I can launch any of the programs?
ThanksFor the Cloud, you log in to your paid Cloud account and download & install the same way you did the first time
Cloud Getting Started https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/topics/getting-started.html
If you have the perpetual license version of CS6 you install from your original media and use your serial number
If you have the version of CS6 that is installed via the cloud use this link

Need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook.......
need help with how to reset bios and admin password to reformat hard drive in 8440p elitebook? removal of cmos, resetting laptop, using cccleaner, windows password recovery and hiren's was noneffective, any help is appreciated. thanks
Hi,
As your notebook is a business class machine, security is more stringent - the password is stored in non-volatile memory and there are no 'backdoor' passwords. Your best option would be to contact HP regarding this.

HT3728 Optimisation of Time Capsule 1tb, Apple TV and bt broadband
Please can you offer advice on the correct configuration for Apple Time Capsule (1tb), Apple TV and bt broadband hub that will provide the optimum performance of the wireless broadband and the hardware.
Thank you in advance for your advice/response.The TC should plug into the BT hub by ethernet to WAN port..
The TC will be in bridge mode.
You will create a wireless network in the TC.. It is then up to you if you use the same SSID =Network name as the BT Hub or a different name.. the roaming network should work fine.. but sometimes it is easier to just turn off the wireless in the BT Hub and just use the TC.. a bit of trial and error here is the only way to find out.
What do you hope to do with the TC other than wireless network?? It is really not able to store movies etc.. because the ATV is not a media player .. it is a streamer. You need something like a computer or ipad to stream to the ATV. (Unless you JB a Gen1 or Gen2 ATV). -
my iPhone is about 6 months old now and I would say I don't use it that much. Yet for the last month or so the battery life has been going down and today after having charged it to 100% this morning, it was at 5% at 4 pm this aft. help!!
Ok Fellas, let me give you a clue: Games, particularly those that make heavy use of graphics and sound are notoriously power hungry. In fact, when I was in the Navy many years ago, the folks working on the NTDS (Navy Tactical Data System) computers used a version of Space Invaders to load test the AN/UYK-43 computers.
I have also noticed that all of my laptops (I have a brand new Toshiba dual core, an older Toshiba single core, plus 2 Dell dual core machines) have significantly shorter battery life when I play Company of Heroes than when I am just reading e-mail or surfing the 'Net. I have also noticed the same behavior when I play games on my 4th gen Touch and my iPhone 4.
The fact is, iOS 5 did make some major improvements as well as adding some nice functionality like iMessage, wireless synch, and such, but the down side is that depending on how you use the device battery life can be shorter that what you may have experienced with pervious versions of iOS. Its just the nature of the beast...

Thanks.You'll sit on your bum and ruin your back again with most IT jobs. With your government shrinking, OCA qualification won't have much worth unless you personally know someone in the private sector that needs help. An operator job with your petrol company (assuming it's not just a mom 'n pop station) would probably require heavy lifting.
IT is a good, solid, growing career path, but most of the work is still programming, and most ways up to better jobs go through that experience. You might be an exception if you have a way to join other skills with your IT education, such as business analysis or sales or web prettyfying. Perhaps the determinants are your personality and goals.
I know, it's tough, but if you are honest with yourself and check out some of the "what color is my parachute" kinds of career advice books, you can find a happy medium. There actually are some benefits in starting a career during economically troubled times, but you only see that in retrospect. You have to decide on goals, pursue them vigorously, and reevaluate when it doesn't work for you. -
