Curious about "Recovered Files" after restart

Is there a way to find out the source of recovered files and what they mean? Just curious.
My latest were:
A folder: <msoclip>
A folder: <CardModeFiles>
Thank you.

Recovered items appear when a program that creates temporary files either crashes or does not clean up after itself properly.  The Mac OS cleans the files up and puts them in this folder. This is an old apple tech note, but it is still valid:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.4/en/mh2267.html
I think msoclip comes from some Microsoft software. I don't know about the CardModeFiles thingy. You can safely delete these files.

    If you emptied the trash, you don't unless they are on your backup disk.

  • How to recover file after battery exhaustion

    How do I recover unsaved files after battery exhaustion? Before my snow leopard installation, when I replug power after battery exhaustion, the system would restart and resume the desktop with my working files. After I installed snow leopard, the system simply went for a complete reboot every time I replug power after battery died, and thus I couldn't find the files I worked on unless I saved them. How do I find/recover the unsaved files?
    I use macbook and snow leopard. Any advice would be highly appreciated!

    I think you are seriously confused about terminology, as your post doesn't make a lot of sense. Rebooting refers to the act of restarting the Mac, just as if you turned off the machine and then turned it back on again. It restarts the system from scratch (ie, with a "fresh desktop").
    Sleep is a completely different thing. It allows the machine to stay on while cutting power to as many components as possible. This allows the machine to look like it's turned off, but it retains its state and wakes up with all the same apps/windows open.
    If you are putting your machine to sleep and finding later that it has not retained the state, as you seem to be saying, that means the battery has died and the machine shut down. Not a nice, gentle shut down, like when you choose Apple -> Shut Down, but an abrupt, kick-in-the-head sort of shut down that has the potential to do damage to your system software. Not to mention that you'll lose unsaved changes to open documents. This is a problem, and you need to address it.

  • [SOLVED] recover files after accidental formatting of zfs

    Ok, Let it the 'you are an idiot' comments roll...
    Long version:
    I wanted to play with zfs, so I was installing freebsd alongside my typical arch installation. During the installation, I was astonished to realize that I must have been confused by the BSD drive naming convention because I had overwritten my data partition with zfs. Of course (I am an idiot) and I had no backup.
    short version:
    Used to have an ext4 partition that had some files on it. Now I have a zfs partition that has no files on it.
    I did not do ANYTHING after I realized the mistake. I didn't even finish the installation. To the best of my knowledge, it has never even been mounted.
    What utilities give me the best chance of recovery? Is there anything specific I should know about this specific situation, recovering a journeled file system out of zfs?

    Turns out that TestDisk was IS in fact capable of recovering lost partitions after they have been deleted, or sometimes reformatted. According to their wiki, they do not support ZFS filesystem, so I decided to try it in hopes that it would still recover TO a zfs partition.
    And, I happen to have a copy of TestDisk handy on my Parted Magic CD.
    Steps taken:
    -From the main menu on Test disk, Select advanced.
    -Select analyze partition data.
    -This correctly identified my old linux partitions, and they were marked with a D which means they were 'deleted'. I don't know if it is completely right, because I never bothered to write down the specific Hard Drive geometry before, but it looks right to me.
    -hit 'Write' to write the corrected partition table to disk.
    -I was able to see recovered files through the testdisk program, but I'll have to reboot for the kernel become aware of the partitions and let me mount them. So I'll be back in 5 minutes to report whether this worked.

  • Recover files after assumed hard drive crash

    I have a PowerMac G4 with its original hard drive and an additional 80 GB hard drive and I am using OSX 10.3.9. Last night, after restarting the computer, I got the flashing question mark. I rebooted using my OSX install disk, checked Disk Utility and it showed only the 80 GB hard drive. Up to this point, I was still using the original drive for applications and some files. I have read a large number of the forum postings about this type of problem, but no matter what I try, the computer only recognizes the 80 GB drive. I assume my original drive has crashed. Now the question is, can I retrieve any of the files or applications on the original hard drive and what is the easiest method of doing so?

    If your drive is dead and you really need to salvage data, you can always contact a professional data recovery service and see what they can do for you. Otherwise, it seems your drive has failed. One way of keeping an eye on your drives is to regularly check it's S.M.A.R.T. status. You can check this in disk utility by clicking on the appropriate drive and looking at the information about the drive mentioned at the bottom of the window. If a drive is about the fail, it will report in red "failing". You can check the S.M.A.R.T. status any time you wish. Many third party disk utilities do it for you in their routine checks, such a Techtool. A third party disk utility may be something for to look into if you haven't already to prevent further loss of data.

  • My mbpro would not start so re-installed (as instructed by the website) how do i recover files after i re-installed my OS?  thank you.

    my 13" mbpro would not start so i followed the instructions & turned out i needed to reinstall the OS.  can i still recover my files after i erased & reinstalled?  if yes, how do i do it?  thanks.

    If the system partition was erased, recovery of any files previously stored on it as identifiable entities is unlikely.
    Keeping an external CarbonCopyClone of the startup disk (free download) gets you a bootable clone (with all applications installed) so you have a chance of cloning back onto the internal disk if you ever need to reformat the partition again.

  • "MerpAD RDC" file in Trash "Recovered Files" after every startup.

    Does anyone know what this "MerpAD RDC" file is? It shows up in the Recovered Files in my Trash every time I reboot / startup. It's not causing any trouble, just curious as to what it is.

    I have the same issue. I don't seem to see it everytime, but almost. I am going to try to keep better track of it. I have seen several different files show up here. Mostly this one.

  • Is it possible to recover files after reinstalling my whole Mac OS X?

    I recently reinstalled my whole Mac OS X in my new iMac. But I realized I forgot to backup some files (my Pictures folder!).
    Is there a way I can recover those files? When I reinstalled the software (using the DVD's the iMac came with) I used the option erase and install (I don't remember exactly what it said but it was the complete reinstallation option.
    Thank you.

    It could be - remember that a folder is really just a special kind of file. The files within it are just additional files, linked to it as contents in the file allocation table. And all of them are not necessarily kept as a discreet contiguous chunk of data on the hard disc. So yes, it is possible that the folder itself is fine, but the files within it are not.
    Or, as mentioned, it could be something else, like permissions, or a corrupted iPhoto database, or who knows?
    Did you look at the DR3 FAQ? Does it make any sense to you, given whatever was displayed while the recovery software was running?
    DR3 online FAQ entry:
    I recovered files, but they won’t open. What’s wrong?
    The answer to this question depends on whether you’re talking about files recovered from under the “CBR” folder, or other ones.
    Files recovered by catalog (i.e. Not from the CBR folder)
    It's normal for a small percentage of recovered files to be bad. But if you have checked a number of them and none of them are good, then chances are that they were recovered with wrong ABL setting. Pick out a few files to use as test files, and go back and select a different ABL choice (Expert>Allocation Blocks Layout..menu) and recover and test those few. If you find an ABL setting that gives good results on those files, re-do your big recovery with that setting. For more information, read the material on Allocation Block Layout in section 8.2.1 of the Data Rescue 3 Users Guide.
    Files recovered by content (i.e. from the CBR folder)
    It's also normal for a small percentage of these files to be bad. If the original file was fragmented (not stored on disk in consecutive blocks), then it can not be properly recovered by content. In most normal situations, most files on a user's disk will not be fragmented. Typical fragmentation rates for files tend to be just a few percent.
    Note: The ABL setting plays No role in recovering files under the CBR folder.

  • Grey flashing file after restarting my computer

    My mac book air froze and i turned it off using the power button. when i tried to turn it back on the OS X utilities options where on the screen. I was fiddleing with them a little bit seeing what the options did ubt nothing seemed to get me anywhere. when i restarted it another time there is a little grey file flashing on my screen and now I'm stuck!
    any suggestions?

    If you see a grey folder with a question mark flashing after restarting your computer it means that it cannot find an operating system to boot from. When you were in the OS X utilites page, you either:
    1. Messed with your hard drive / OS X partition.
    2. Erased your OS X partition completely.
    Either way, if you continue to get the flashing folder, you'll have to erase your hard drive completely and reinstall OS X using internet recovery. If you don't have backups, I'm sorry to say that all your data is gone. If you'd like me to, I can give you detailed instructions on formatting your hard drive and reinstalling OS X if you don't already know how to.

  • Recovering files after a force shut down

    **** all,
    My mbp froze up last night and I had to do a forced shut down. When I rebooted all was fine except for a pages document that was open during the freeze was lost. Can this file be recovered?
    Thanks,
    Brian

    I don't know if Pages periodically saves to a temp file, but if it does, that temp file should be in a Recovered Files folder in your trash can. If it's not there, or if you emptied your trash and got rid of that Recovered Files folder, then you're out of luck. Any unsaved changes are gone.

  • Limits are changing in Instance config file after restart (Sometimes)

    Hi Experts,
    Here I have one problem.
    The configuration limits are changing to original limits after restarting of the server
    Ex: Initial Given Limit : <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>75</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>
    I changed to <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>1500</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>
    After restart, some times the configuration is changing to initial stage
    <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>75</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDelivery>
    Similarly the Download limit also changing <DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload>2500</DefaultRowsDisplayedInDownload> from 2500 to initial value
    Can anyone help me in regardin this?

  • Ora 8.0.5 + locked for about 3 hours after restart

    When I shut down oracle 8.0.5 to do a cold backup of the db via "shutdown" command in svrmgrl upon restart it sits at about 50% cpu usage on the dbwriter procs. Im an oracle novice but it would seem its doing some bit cleanup. You cant stop oracle until it finishes whatever its doing. (SMON Proc is running this query:
    SELECT file#, block#, length
    FROM uet$
    WHERE ts# = :1
    AND segfile# = :2
    AND segblock# = :3
    AND ext# = :4
    While its doing this, most of our more popular tables allowed to be queried however It appears to lock something.
    What Im hoping for is a way to diagnose and clear this issue. If any kind souls want to help me out here i would greatly appreciate this help.
    When I run svrmgrl from command line the instance shuts down within 10 seconds.

    SMON is probably cleaning up temporary segments.
    In 8.0.5 you have a tablespace defined as the TEMPORARY TABLESPACE for all
    users (probably TEMP, but could the default SYSTEM) but the tablespace is
    created for Permanent Storage.
    If the INITIAL, NEXT extent sizes are too small, then user queries are creating very
    many extents -- all of which have to be cleaned up by SMON.
    Check the way temp segment creation has been defined :
    select tablespace_name, contents,initial_extent, next_extent, pct_increase
    from dba_tablespaces
    where tablespace_name in (select distinct temporary_tablespace from dba_users);
    You could ALTER the tablespace(s) to set a large NEXT_EXTENT and
    PCT_INCREASE=0
    but monitor the usage of the tablespace after that -- too many large extents with
    multiple users concurrently would need more space.
    Larger Extents of an even size (because of PCTINCREASE=0) would mean that
    SMON spends less time in doing a cleanup.

  • Instances In recovery are getting recovered only after restart of server.

    Hi All,
    The issue I face is :There is a BPEL Process with a DB adapter which has to poll on a database.
    Now my DB adapter polls,but the instance in EM remains in Recovery State.
    From BPEL Service Engine even if I recover,they dont get recovered.
    But,If I restart the server(SOA) and and From BPEL Service Engine if I recover,they get recovered.
    SO,every Time I hav to restart the server.:-( :-(
    Kindly ,suggest the solution.

    The solution is either change the order of deployment or copy the FileAdapter.rar file in $ORACLE_HOME/lib location and restart the server as mentioned here.
