Data Recovery Help Please!

I lost all my data during the iOS 7 update... is there anyway i can get it back? i didnt back up my phone before the update.

Well you can only recover your data from a backup.
If you don't have a current one, then maybe you have an old one to backup to.http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766

  • Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop Windows-XP​sp3 OS - Need Data Recovery Help

    Hard Drive Failure on HP DV 6000 Pavilion laptop - Need Data Recovery Help
    HP Pavilion DV 6108 NR, RG365UA, purchased in late 2006 at Best Buy, with Windows XP, upgraded to Service Pack 3. It has a Fujitsu hard disk, 60 gigabyte, partitioned into C: and a Recovery D:.
    Windows tries to boot up, but goes to blue screen with the message: "Unmountable Boot Volume" for one second, then just keeps recycling until I force a shutdown.
    BIOS Phoenix, hard drive test result: " #1-08 Fail "
    I ran a disk analysis/recovery program on the Cdrive and it seemed to show the directory structure intact, and it was able to recover some files. I was using the free one from Seagate (which only recovers small files). The second pass didn't run so well, and during the third run the program said I should not proceed further, and I should contact a professional disk recovery company.
    However, the D drive seems to be intact, so, I wonder if the disk is corrupted or just some aspect of the logical C drive is bad.
    How can I get the D: to run the recovery software on it? The recovery disks, made by Best Buy, only proceed to the R / F / Q option screen, and when I press R, I get a blue screen every time.
    Tapping the F10 key during startup gets me nowhere. Ditto the F11 key.
    I dont care about the hard disk; it is the data (files, docs, images, etc)  that I want.
    I contacted HP to order recovery disks but they are no longer available for my computer.
    Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Update...
    I found a website that offers the following:
    http://www.computersurgeons.com/p-13442-recovery-k​it-435422-001-for-hp-model-number-dv6108nr.aspx
    Recovery Kit 435422-001 For HP Model Number dv6108nr
    Price: $27.00
    Recovery Kit Set (An Entire Image of the Computer hard drive when the computer was new)
    But I wonder how useful it would be. Early XP , no doubt. And if my hard disk problem is a mechanical fault, would any recovery disk even work? The disks made by Best Buy when I bought mine new in 2006 don't do anything more than go to the R /F/ Q screen and then goes to a blue screen when I press R (to recover the OS and apps and data files). And, as I wrote, it is the data that I want, not the disk drive.

  • Data recovery - HELP!

    Hi there
    I have done the stupidest thing EVER! I back up my entire MacBook on an external hard drive - so far, so sensible. Only I've updated what I've backed up by replacing folders with newer versions and I've only just realised. I've lost four years' worth of digital photos and I'm praying there's some way of recovering them. Please help me! I'll name my future children after you and put you in my will!
    Here's what I've done in full:
    - I upload all my photos to iPhoto, edit them and then save them into a folder within a folder on my desktop
    - I started getting very low on operating memory so I got an external hard drive with a fire wire and began backing everything up. I took all my photos in the Photos folder off my desktop altogether and trashed them, so I had more operating memory.
    - I did this in May/June
    - I also had photos from 2004/2005/2006 on there which were from before I had a Mac and uploaded to iPhoto
    - I've since overwritten this folder with a new (thus virtually empty with only a few recent photos) version and I think I've done it twice since I originally backed everything up, but I've only just realised I've been overwriting everything.
    - I've looked in that iPhoto library in Pictures that I have and I can recover some photos, but there appears to be a lot missing and because I'm a keen photographer who is anal about editing and organising (the irony!) my photos, they're all mixed up - which is why I had them in separate folders in the first place
    Is there ANYTHING I can do?
    Can they be recovered from the hard drive itself?
    Is there software that can be downloaded free or paid for to do this?
    I've googled it a bit and it looks like there's stuff you can download for a PC. I have access to a PC, so I can have a go on that if that's what it takes.
    If they can't be salvaged from the hard drive, will I perhaps be able to find them in a secret place on my MacBook from the time I trashed the original folders a couple of months ago? 'Secret place' is about as technical as I get!
    I can't get an appointment at the Genius Bar for a while. Any help on this would be much appreciated. I know I'm an idiot - but I was half way to being a non-idiot by backing up in the first place...so small victories...!
    Thanks,
    Rachael

    Basics of File Recovery
    If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
    If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
    If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
    The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    Since it sounds like you overwrote files and folders then the data that were overwritten are gone for good and can not be recovered.
    In the future you should make multiple backups including an archival backup on DVD media that can be stored away safely. It's good that you have some backups, but your backup plan is obviously inadequate.

  • IPod data recovery- Help!!

    I recently lost all of the songs, videos and pictures I had on my 80gb ipod video (at least over 3000 items) and don't have any of the files in my computer anymore.
    Now I've downloaded 3 trial versions of programs that claim to restore your iPod data, and I wanted to take into consideration your suggestions before making a quite possible unnecessary expense.
    The first programs that I installed were Recover My iPod and iPod Data Recovery.
    However, the problem with these two was that they either presented a list of over 8000 songs, with no names mind you, (an amount i vividly remember not having) or they would just appear as error files.
    Then I stumbled upon an alternate option, which was iPod Recovery. It offered me a detailed list of all the songs i had in my iPod. So I left it yesterday almost the whole day, but in the end, it only allowed me to download 15 songs.
    I don't know if this is the limit for the trial version, but before buying the full software, I wanted to ask if any of you had encountered the same problem, or if you know whether it would be a good choice to buy the program, and if it will allow me to recover all of my data. Please help me!! I don't care if I have to spend a lot of money in those programs, I just want to be sure that they will be able to recover all of my lost data.
    Any comments or suggestions are highly welcomed and encouraged. Thanks in advanced, and please excuse any inconveniences I may have caused.

    *They can rescue data that has not been overwritten.*
    This is what I wanted to know, I thought they were scammers and that I'd not get anything out of it.
    *can they recover all lost data? Most likely, no.*
    T_T
    *You do still have everything on your computer though, correct?*
    If that were the case it would be unnecessary to look for programs that can "recover" your data
    If you don't have the files on your computer, you do make regular backups of at least the important files on your computer, correct?
    No...that's my mistake and I'm paying too big a price for it. sighs
    Thanks a lot for your responses *Chris CA*, I'll still buy one of those programs and a backup memory x_x

  • ISCSI volume lost, have the .img file but no access to data. Help please, WD support worthless!

      Basically, I have a iSCSI target which I cannot access  after re-installing windows because the CHAP "secret"  I thought I knew was wrong.  Although I was told there was no way to acess the .img file by WD, I was able to pull the image using an SSH connection to the EX2 from a hidden folder.  So now I have that file stored locally.  Of course it would just be too easy to be able to mount that file and I understand why that is.  However, through research, I am seeing that it may in fact be possible some how.   Can anyone please help me with the resources that I have?  I have alot of info that I really do not want to lose and I dont have the funds to pay a data recovery company thousands of dollars like WD support suggested.  Is the .img file encrypted or is it just a FS that windows wont recognize?  Please help and I would really appreciate any info. Thank you.

    if the iSCSI target is protected with a username and password.  It would not do any good even with a linux tool to open it. Like WD tech support suggest to find a recovery company is all your best bet.  If you still have access to your NAS, you should be able to change the iSCSI target to with CHAP enable to NONE.  From your Windows try to access your iSCSI target again without a password. bda714 wrote:

  • Data recovery help and options

    If you don't want to read the entire diatribe, please answer:  Any suggestions as to which data recovery app is appropriate for a ThunderBolt Seagate GoFlex 1TB?  It's been 21 hours, should I stop and restart First Aid?
    I have a MBP15R that is about a month old.  With it, I purchased a Seagate GoFlex 1TB drive with Thunderbolt adapter.  I was away from the house for 24hrs, and had shut my MBP off prior to leaving.  Upon return, I started the MBP and began my work.  About an hour in, I realized I couldn't find a few recent files.  I went to Finder, and realized the SGF wasn't mounted.  It would not mount, and prompted me to run First aid.  The log for this so far is:
    2012-12-17 15:27:13 -0800: Disk Utility started. 
    2012-12-17 15:27:58 -0800: Mount of “FreeAgent GoFlex Drive” failed

    2012-12-17 15:28:51 -0800: Updating boot support partitions for the volume as required.
    It's now been 21 hours, and the boot support partitions for the volume as required has not completed.
    I live-chatted with Seagate.  The pertinant text is:
    You: The question:  with approximately 90% of the drive filled from backup, etc., how long should the process of 'updating boot support partitions for the volume as required' take?  we're pushing 21hrs now.
    Jason H: That is really hard to say. There is not a way to give a time on that, but I can tell you that it should not exceed 5 hours. At that point either the drive is unrepairable, or may be corrupted.
    Jason H: It could be a bad drive.
    You: ...hmm...your recommended course of action at this point?  i'm an it director, am familiar with seatools, but unless i'm mistaken, you don't have a version of seatools for mac
    Jason H: That is correct. The only thing we recommend on Mac is to use Mac First Aid Repair to try and correct any issues.  I would still wait a little longer even though it has been some time.  With the drive being 2TB and depending on the system, and what type of data, it could still be updating the partitions.
    You: 1TB
    You: video, audio, and documents/spreadsheets.  the time machine backups took up over .5 the drive in just under a month.  ok, so if another 24hrs doesn't resolve it, 3rd party tools to attempt a repair?
    Jason H: The only other program that I can suggest, is even though Mac is not listed for Seatools, if you have an Intel based chipset on your Mac, Seatools for DOS can work. Otherwise, the only other thing I can suggest would be to search online for free recovery programs.
    You: seagate will charge for data recovery even though the drive is 35 days old from purchase, correct?
    Jason H: Correct, data recovery is not covered under warranty.
    I'm getting a 2nd Goflex and USB adapter to push the data to once I get the drive operational, then exchanging the 'bad' drive and TB adapter.
    Any suggestions as to which data recovery app is appropriate?

    Sorry to hear your problem.
    IMHO what you should of done was Shut down the Mac, Disconnected the drive from the Mac (Pull out the TB cord), Restarted the Mac and tried to Reconnect it once the Mac had started.
    Could of simply been the drive was trying to draw to much power from the TB port, that is IF that drive did not have it own AC adapter, while the MBP was starting. But once it was up and running it may of been able to supply the correct power to the drive.
    sorry I don't have any suggestions for Data recovery.

  • Macbook Pro Recovery Help please!!!

    I have a Macbook pro i am trying to restore. I have been trying since i got up yesterday. I backed up all my stuff on an external drive, restarted, went into disk utilities, erased Macintosh HD, quit disk utilities, went into OS X Mavericks recovery. It downloaded all my stuff and it went to install. Got a huge Yellow triangle with a "!" in it. Said it couldn't install and to contact the software manufacturer. Tried it again many times, but to no avail. Restarted it and got a folder with a question mark in it, blinking over and over. Restarted again and it went into Internet recovery. Got stuck a few times, but finally downloaded. Now it starts up as Mountain Lion Recovery instead of mavericks. (Was shipped with ML) I have tried to download many times but it starts off as the download being 5H 30Min then gets to 2H 13M and then shoots up to 9H 59Min, then up to 12H 56Min. My internet is not that slow. My connection is (as of typing this) 4.91 Down and 0.68 Up. What just happened is i tried it again. Recovery download got until 2H 18Min and went back up to over 6H. I then quit it, and restarted. Reset the PRam and booted up. Now internet Recovery is my only option. I put in my WiFi password and now it has the loading bar that isn't moving, and shows no time limit. I have restored this same mac before on the same network and it restored without a problem. I do not have disks, nor do I have the OS on a flashdrive. I have googled for hours on end trying to find answers to no avail. Help please!

    The nearest Apple Store is 6 hours away from me and it ran out of warranty a month ago (of course ) so i don't know what to do. Just checked my computer and i got the 5010F error. Yay..

  • Photo recovery help PLEASE !

    Hello forum.
    Have a clients iPod here - they somehow managed to loose 1300+ photos. I  used Phoenix Steller data recovery and saved them ( or something ) to a folder on a PC. Now what  !?
    They look only like icons - you cannot view them no matter what program I use to attempt to view them. I tried just dumping  them back to the photo folder on the iPod thinkng that well of course they came from the iPod and that should work. NOT !
    Sure could use some help here. I prefer not to try doing anything with iTunes yet since I think that may make matters worse.
    Yes - you can email me with any thoughts / comments.

    Really sorry to hear that. I guess there is nothing you can do about the data lost except to restore it using iTunes. If you have previously synced it with iTunes you would get all the music/video/photos back,

  • Mail Crashed - Inbox Deleted - Trying Data Recovery - Help

    I am running a G4 Powerbook 10.3.9 and Mail 1.3.11 locked up and crashed. My old Inbox is wiped out. Last July, I accidentally deleted my Sent emails but that was intentional (as in I thought I was in the Trash window, selected All and Deleted but as I was in my Sent window, that's what got deleted). I bought Data Rescue II and was able to restore almost all of my deleted Sent email.
    So I tried to do the same today. I recovered large "mail" files to the CBR folder. These files are marked as Mail-00034.mbox where the number goes up. Some files are 100MB while others are smaller. I also recovered the INBOX.mbox file but I cannot import either file type into Mail (as in the Import Mailbox function).
    I have recovered plenty of big files but none that can be imported into mail. Any thoughts. Thanks in advance

    The current INBOX.mbox contents include
    content_index 128K
    Info.plist 4K
    mbox 236K
    mbox.SKindex 30.3MB
    mbox.SKindex.isValid 0K
    tableofcontents 4K
    The file size of the mbox.SKindex does not make complete sense as I have only about a dozen or so emails currently in my INBOX (those received after the crash). Either way, the entire INBOX file is way too small (compared with a 1.2G SENT box). I believe the INBOX file size was around 900MB prior to the crash.
    As for what the Data Recovery II program found, it recovered a folder called CBR and in it is a folder called Mail, and in that a folder called AppleMail, and in that about 120 files (using the mailbox icon) all labeled "Mail-######.mbox" where the ###### refers to 00001 (the first file) up to 00120 (the last file). File sizes vary from several at 100MB down to 1MB. There is a great deal of data there. When I try and import these files into Mail, the import seems to work but the IMPORT folder is empty.
    Data Recovery also got a INBOX.mbox file that when opened, is blank. It too reads as 30.3MB (vs. the 30.7MB INBOX.mbox file noted above). When this is opened, there are 0 emails in it.

  • Erased P2 Card Data Recovery Help!

    One of my students erased a P2 Card accidentally (Don't Ask). Fortunately they realized this as the trash was being emptied. We properly shut down everything right away and didn't save anything to the drive.
    The drive is an external LaCie connected via FW800. We are running Power PC G5 Towers and Intel Mac Pro's here with 10.5.4 OS and FCP 6.0.4 I even have one machine (Intel iMac) on 10.4.11.
    I ran "File Salvage which I have used once before to recover QT files. That did a great job for QT but the P2 Card had not been Log & Transfered.
    In my recovery attempt the application couldn't find anything like an MXF file. Can anyone recommend a recovery program that can maintain the file structure of the P2 Card. Maybe I'm dreaming, Maybe not. All suggestions welcome.
    Thank You

    Hi,
    In many cases, the data recovery software will recover files that don't work well:
    Unplayable videos, corrupt audio or video, ...
    In such case, you may have to repair the files in a second phase.
    There's a free app to diagnose and preview corrupt movie files: Treasured

  • Recommend UK based data recovery specialist please?

    Hi all,
    My friend accidentally dropped his iBook and his hard drive no longer works. I've replaced the hard drive, but he has valuable data on the old hard drive, and he hasn't backed it up, and I was unable to recover the data myself. So he wants to send it to a data recovery specialist - can anyone recommend one in the UK that can recover data off an HFS+ formatted hard drive? He'd like a company that's reasonably priced, but aren't cowboys. If you've done business with them, how much did it cost?
    Thanks very much for your time in advance!
    Regards - Piers

    I was recommended Datarecoverycorp (see their website)but they were bad news. Very costly and IMO a bit shady. When I visited they were OK but they kept themselves secret and were controlled from Florida.
    I dealt with a Birmingham firm called Microforce, 0121440440 in Moseley. They had had trouble with DRC and were using someone else. But in the end, I just gave up.
    But if you are stuck, try Amit at Microforce. He was honest.

  • Stuck in Recovery - Help please

    Just recieved ipod nano today.. connected to itunes (was fine), updated software (was fine). Now i connect my ipod to my PC and itunes displays
    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must Restore this iPod before it can be used with itunes."
    Clicked ok then clicked restore.
    After restoring ipod message is displayed.
    "iPod has been restored to its factory settings. Please leave it connected and it will appear in itunes source bar."
    - Ipod is Left connected -
    itunes then displays the original message -
    "iTunes has detected an iPod in recovery mode. You must Restore this iPod before it can be used with itunes."
    It keeps going round in circles.
    Any ideas????

    Try assigning your iPod a different drive letter. This recurrent message about "iTunes has deteced an iPod..." could possibly be caused by Windows drive letter confusion.
    Follow these instructions:
    Log off of any other users on your computer (and disconnect any iPods that are currently connected to your computer, as well)
    Then, put your iPod into Disk Mode, then follow these steps:
    1 - Don’t plug in your iPod yet.
    2 - Go to "START -> Control Panel -> Admin Tools (if you don't see this, click on "classic view" button on the left panel) -> Computer Management."
    3 - Click on the "Disk Management" button in the left panel area.
    4 - Now, with "Computer Management" and Control Panel windows opened, connect your iPod to the computer.
    5 - Right-click on your iPod's listing there (after a few moments when it gets recognized in this drive window), and click on "Change Drive letter and Paths". Then the "Change..." button.
    Here's what it should look like:
    Assign your iPod the letter "M" "N", "O" or the like (further along in the alphabet).
