Can't restore backup files.

Not long ago my mbp HD broke and I had to change it. Now I am trying to restore some backup files from it but it seems that I have no permission to access those files therefore I cannot restore them. Is there a way I can access those files again?
NOTE: I have already tried to do cmd+i and convert the sharing options in read and write but didn't work.

More info following some more testing. It looks like it's actually worse than I thought. It appears as if iPhoto only transfers ONE copy of each photo from the DVD, NOT both the Original and Modified. Most of the time, it takes the Modified version. In the case of RAW photos, there will ALWAYS be a .jpg "processed" version of the Original RAW file in the "Modified" folder, so this is the one it always takes. In the case of .jpg files, it depends on whether you actually made any changes to the photo. If it is right out of the camera, there will be no version in Modified, and iPhoto will transfer the one in Originals. In all other cases, it takes the versions from Modified.
ALL the files are transfered to the Originals folder in your destination library, even though many of them were in Modifieds on the DVD.
The big downside of all this is that for ALL photos, JPG and RAW, you don't get the Original recovered. It stays on the DVD. This is a real bummer. Because of this, you cannot "reprocess RAW", or "Revert to Original", or tweak any previous adjustments and/or effects. It treats the "old" modified as if it were a fresh "original", with no changes.
iPhoto Library Manager is not much help. For RAWs ILM seems to prefer to transfer Originals, which at least preserves your RAWs, but you lose any mods.
There does NOT appear to be any way to transfer Modified AND Originals off the DVD within iPhoto...
This seems like a bug to me, though casual users would probably not recognize this as a pretty serious problem.
Perhaps there is some option/ secret keystroke, preference setting, etc. that can get it to work? Anybody out there have any suggestions?

Device dead, need to restore backup files from Palm 515 desktop software to Centro desktop software. Can it be done??

Ok, here's the story: My palm515 died about a year ago and since then I've been operating exclusively from my desktop software, until I recently bought a Palm Centro. Instructions said to hotsync to device, install new Centro Software, then hotsync back from device onto the desktop program. Problem is, I don't have a device to hotsync to because it's dead! I have backups of desktop, so I tried installing Centro Software per instructions. Centro Software said that it couldn't overwrite the old program, that I would manually have to uninstall it. Ok. But when I tried to go back into my old desktop software, it wouldn't even execute, like the Centro software had already begun to delete it. So I reinstalled the old 515 software thinking I wanted to at least do another triple-dog-check backup to two different locations, maybe even print stuff out in case it woudn't restore to the new software. Worst case scenario I have to type everything back in but at least I still have it. But now i can't figure out how to restore backup files to the 515 software! It keeps looking for .ada files but the backup files are .bak and it won't recognize them. How the heck do you restore a backup on this thing! OR, can I just install the new Centro software and restore the files from there.
Somebody PLEASE tell me how this can be done. My entire life, my business, all my clients, my appointments, my phone numbers, addresses, my records for my taxes, EVERYTHING is in there!
thanks,
meg

Assuming you are not running Vista, and that you have copied the User folder with the .dat and .bak files to a safe location outside the Palm folder, completely uninstall the Access Desktop that came with your Centro and download and install 4.1.4e from Palm's download page.
If you can get the m515 data in there by copying the User folder or Importing Data and sync the Centro you should be fine. Once it all appears where it should (Desktop and Centro) you can delete the User folder copy you copied for the process.

How can I restore iCloud files from my lost iPhone

I backed up my files to icloud. But I lost my Iphone last week. How can I restore my files from icloud to my macbook ?

Are you using Photostream? If yes, then you will be able to see your 1000 most recent photos on your Mac in iPhoto.
All your contacts, calendar events, emails, etc. will still be on your Mac as part of iCloud.
If you didn't import your videos from your iPhone to your Mac, then you've lost them unless you can restore your cloud backup to another iOS device.

HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

Hi,
I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
So basically here are my 2 questions:
How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
Any solutions are very much apreciated!
Thanks!
I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
http://www.twocanoes.com/
Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

Can I remove backuped files/folders from Azure Backup storage without un-registor the servers ?
I want to remove some backuped files/folders to compact Azure Backup Storage and to save the cost of Azure Backup.
Scenario 1: remove tempolary files from Azure Backup Storage.
Scenario 2: remove no-recovery files from Azure Backup Storage.
Scenario 3: move the files from backup target folder to other storage's folder.
Now, To remove backup files/folder from Azure Backup storage, I seems to need un-register the servers, and register the server.

Thank you Giri, for quick reply.
I want to save the Azure Backup storage cost, now.
I don't want to pay the Azure Backup storage cost for no-restore-need files until the backup point gets aged.
and I don't want to remove / re-backup the restore need files by un-register/register operation.

HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive? While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean! When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message: "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

Thanks so much Terence. I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:

That worked like a charm. I really appreciate it.

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

Can not restore data files from backup set

I am trying to restore Server A's backup data to Server B (they are all oracle11g) using rman. The restore commands is below:
rman target /;
shutdown immediate;
startup nomount;
restore controlfile from '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/ctl_xxx'
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/';
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
For the first time, it works. But when i tried to restore another backup data by the same way:
rman target /;
shutdown immediate;
startup nomount;
restore controlfile from '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/ctl_xxx'
alter database mount;
catalog start with '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/';
restore database;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
The second time, i found that rman restore the old backup data, which means that it restore the data file under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/' instead of '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/'.
So I run 'list backup of database summary' to see the backup set lists in control file.
List of Backups

945 B 0 A DISK 25-APR-10 1 1 NO TAG20100425T020007
But when i run ‘restore database preview summary’ to see the backup set list to restore

===============
Key TY LV S Device Type Completion Time #Pieces #Copies Compressed Tag

there's no backup set 945 at all. that's why i could not restore data file under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/' at the second time.
So, why two backup list is different ? how can i restore datafile under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/' ?
My backup script is below:
run{
allocate channel c1 type disk;
backup incremental level 0 as backupset format '$DIR/`date +%Y%m%d`/data_%d_c0_%T_%u' database;
sql 'alter system archive log current';
backup archivelog from time 'sysdate-14' format '$DIR/`date +%Y%m%d`/log_%d_%T_%u';
backup current controlfile format '$DIR/`date +%Y%m%d`/ctl_%d_%T_%I_%u';
release channel c1;

My purpose is to use the newest backupset of Server A to update Server B. So if Server A crush, Server B will be useful. Is there any other way to do that ?

And Server A do LV0 backup every 7 day, and do LV1 backup ervery other day.

After Restoring/Backup File System XI Java Instances are not up!

Hello all,
We are facing problem in restoring the SAP XI System, after taking backup of the system the java instances in SAP XI System are not starting again. ABAP connections are fine.
Can anyone provide suggestions/solutions in order to restore the XI System back.
The system information is as follows.
System Component: SAP NetWeaver 2004s, PI 7.0
Operating System: SunOS 5.9, SunOS 5.10
Database: ORACLE 9.2.0.
Regards,
Ketan Patel

I would correct Oracle version is 10.2.0
I would also like to reframe my problem.
XI server(both abap and Web) was working fine. Every weekend we take full backup(file system+DB)(UFS) of server. After taking backup server got up and we were able to login through abap but java web page was not openning. We did some troubleshooting it didn't work and finaly we restored the backup and somehow it worked. Next week after backup again same problem arose. We again restored latest backup but this time problem still exists.

Ketan

Anyway to restore backup files from s40 to s*3 dev...

I made a backup of nessages in my nokia 2730 device. I have the backup file its in .crt format.
Now i have nokia c7 and i want to restore that backup file in c7. but it dont support ?
any idea, how to get messages in c7 ?

Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
How did you back up your messages? Did you use the Nokia PC Suite or the Nokia Suite to back up your messages? Note that you can use both the Nokia PC Suite and the Nokia Suite to back up your files but there's no guarantee if your C7 will recognize it. Since both devices are different in terms of software.
If you still have the 2730 Classic, another way to transfer your messages is by syncing or exporting/importing it using the Nokia Suite.
You can download the latest Nokia Suite from this link: www.nokia.com/nokiasuite
Transfer all your text messages to the Nokia Suite:
Connect your Nokia 2730 Classic to the computer.
In Nokia Suite, go to the Messaging tab.
To get messages from the phone, press Sync messages and follow the instructions on the screen.
Once your messages imported to Nokia Suite, you can view them under Conversations.
Alternatively, choose a file to export the messages, select File > Export all text messages.
Browse to the folder where you want to save the file. Then, type a name for a new message file in the File name field, or select an existing message file to overwrite it.
Click Save. All your text messages are stored to the file.
Disconnect the phone.
Open the message file and sync the content to your Nokia C7:
Connect your C7 to the computer.
In Nokia Suite, go to the Messaging tab.
You can view your messages under Conversations.
Alternatively, choose a file to import the messages, select File > Import text messages.
Browse to the folder where you have the CSV file that contains your messages and select it.
Click Open. All your text messages are copied from the file to Nokia Suite.
To sync the content to your C7, press Sync messages and follow the instructions on the screen.
The text messages appearing on your C7.
Hope this helps.

Can't reload backup files. Sparse bundle won't open

When my AirBook crashed I took it to the Apple Store. There the contents of the hard drive were backed up to an external drive, and the AirBook sent for repairs. During the repair process the OS was updated to Snow Leopard (I don't remember what the prior OS was). Now, when I try to use Time Machine to restore the files from the external drive I find a disk image named dudley.sparsebundle (dudley is my middle name). But when I double-click it, I get a message that the disk image can't be opened because "no mountable file systems" were found. I've tried the repair disk and verify disk utility without success. Can anyone help?

There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup; 10.7 or later), from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup; 10.7.2 or later), or from your installation disc (C key at startup; 10.6.8 or earlier.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data.
