File restore after system crash?

I recorded several videos on my iPhone yesterday. One was 28 minutes long (almost 3 GB) so I deleted them from my phone as soon as I copied it into iPhoto. I was viewing the videos in iPhoto when my system crashed. After rebooting, the movies were gone.
Is there any way these movies can be recovered? They've got to be on the hard drive somewhere.

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

  • Please help: fail to recover after system crash

    Hi all,
    I tried to start our directory server after system crash due to hardware failure. Error log shows:
    [17/Apr/2010:01:35:15 +0800] - WARNING<20488> - Backend Database - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - Detected Disorderly Shutdown last time Directory Server was running, recovering database.
    However, the recover process seems never ends (I waited overnight...). While CPU usage of ns-slapd grows continuously, the server has no response (e.g. ldapsearch waits forever). I make copies of db before starting ns-slapd and thus I tried several attempts:
    1. start as it is.
    2. remove db/log* and start
    3. remove db/log* and db/__db* and start
    4. remove db/* except db/NetscapeRoot and start
    All attempts have the same result - recovery goes on continuously.
    Then I tried to remove db/* and run restoreconfig with an old configuration backup. Then ns-slapd can be started. However, when I do ldapsearch testing:
    ldapsearch -h localhost -v -D"cn=directory manager" -b "" -s base objectclass= namingContexts
    ldap_init( localhost, 389 )
    Bind Password:
    ldap_simple_bind_s: Invalid credentials
    I'm sure the password is correct, and also tried modifying nsslapd-rootpw in config/dse.ldif and corresponding userPassword in configuration file created by saveconfig before restoreconfig.
    Again, all attempts have the same result - invalid credentials. I can see BIND cn=directory manager attempts in logs/access, but also see following line in logs/errors:
    [17/Apr/2010:21:59:08 +0800] - INFORMATION - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - get_entry: entry cn=directory manager not found (error 32)
    I'd like to know:
    * if there any other method to make recovery process complete successfully?
    * if there is anything missed/wrong in the restoreconfig process?
    I tried several days but can't make it. Would anyone please help?
    Sorry that we're still using old versions 5.2 patch 5 on Solaris 5.9 on v440 machines...
    Thank you very much.
    /ST Wong ([email protected])

    I hope you have a export of LDAP data backup in LDIF format, if so, please stop the instance and remove all the files from your db directory which includes .db3 and log.* and __db* and then do a ldif2db.
    Once import is complete, start the slapd process.

  • Files Recovery After System Restored to Factory Default?

    Dear Friends,
            Last month I bought Lenovo X100e in Germany. Last night I got a virus attack that blocked every thing. I had to restore the system to factory default. Unfortunately I forgot that I haven't taken the backup of the pictures of my two weeks long Euro trip  :-(
    Now I want to restore my Old Folders and Files. I didn't make any new partitions and was storing everything in drive C.
    During restore I noticed that the system spent most of the time running some command like backing up C drive. But after everything was set, I couldn't find any back up information.
    Does Thinkpad restore tool really stores back up information before overwriting the C drive? Can I get my files back with available tools? If not what is the best tool to recover my folders and files, preferably with original name and size.
    I shall be grateful if you kindly guide me in this regard.

  • Restore DB2 after System Crash .No backup available

    Hi Everyone,
    We have a severe problem at this moment, please let me know any suggestion for this
    Issue :
    The operating system have crashed on the application server, and reboots itself all the trails to restore have failed, no backup of System / Database / Snapshots of the system available
    Intial Symptomps :
    The application Server was rebooting itself
    Backup :
    No Backup available ( System / SAP )
    Steps Taken:
    we have finally restored the data / Drive snapshots and have attached this to a new system ( Windows 2008 R2 standard Datacenter ) , at this moment we have all the datafiles/ Logs retrived,
    Is there any solution to build a system using this raw data ?
    Is it possible to create a backup from the node directories ?
    Is it possible to create a new system with samebuild and attach thedata file and process further to retrieve the old system
    Can anyone  help to describe any other possible option and share your thoughts
    Regards
    Tim

    Thanks Everyone for your Quick Inputs, and sorry for delayed response,
    well the System is Production System, we finally restored the system by fixing the root Volume,
    However when we have contacted SAP, SAP have suggested to follow the below strategy
    Create a Blank DB,
    Use db2relocatedb command
    Move the Log Files and Data Files
    Now from this Database, Create a Backup
    Restore the Backup on a SAP instance,
    The below approch is also tried parallely ,
    System Copy from Development is done on a new box
    important thing is we need to maintain the same drive / Diriectory structure, and later the replace the Log Files and Data Files ( Drives / Directories ) with the Production Data, in this approach we didnt maintain the structure so the dispatcher kept going down , however I didnt give a second try as my root volume was fixed, will try and update you later..

  • Problems Accessing Photos After System Crash

    Hi,
    Last night my system inexplicably crashed after working fine all day. I called Applecare, and they told me to clear everything and start from scratch. I had just used backup the night before so everything came over fine. I'm just having problems with my photos.
    How I noticed my system crashed was that my iPhoto library disappeared, and when I went to open the files manually, they would not open either, saying they were corrupt. I went to DiskUtility and it wouldn't fix it either, so that's how I had to reboot everything from my backup drive.
    So I open iPhoto and the pictures seem to be there, but they are "squished." When I click on them to open, the edit screen is blank. My albums also did not survive the reinstall (even though my playlists from iTunes did). I went to open some photos directly from my "iPhoto Library" folder, and they open fine in Preview. So I thought I would trash all the fake pics currently in iPhoto and import the good ones over. When I try to do that, it says the photos are unreadable or corrupt, but they work fine in Preview! (which they did not last night before I reinstalled post-crash).
    Please help me save my 4000 photos!

    It may not be a 'glitch' in the actual update so much as it could be that the update did not go through correctly.
    Restoring the device as suggested is the best way to isolate exactly where the issue lies.
    You can start with a first step of attempting a Hard Reset (Home Button + Sleep/Wake Button for 5-10s), however if this does not rectify the issue the next step is to attempt a Restore or alternatively force an update again of the device.

  • ITunes reverting to old library after system crash

    I just started my itunes after my computer crashed, and it has reverted back to an old library from 2010.
    I've tried holding shift and opening itunes to select what library file (.itl) it uses, and even when I select the most recent one, which is dated yesterday, it still only loads the music that I added sometime in 2010.
    All of the music and apps I have added since then (which is a lot!) are still in my itunes Media > Music folder, yet they are not showing up when I open itunes. This goes for both music/apps I have purchased from itunes, and music I have added.
    Can anyone help me?! I don't want to have go through and add two years of music and apps again!

    Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
    Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
    See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
    When you get it all working make a backup!

  • ? How to recover APPS from iTunes after system crash

    I think we need a sticky for this.
    Is there a tutorial or instructions to recover ALL your iPhone/iPod Touch apps from your PC or iTunes after a system crash and iTunes is no longer accessible even after uninstall and reinstallation? I heard one can call Apple Support and have them do a one time reset but for people like me who have more than one iTunes account that may be a problem since it would require several accounts.

    Ok....i have some good news, I believe. Using King_Penguin's link and Apple's KB seems to have worked. I tried this under another windows profile on the same machine. The TRICK is to hold down CTRL W when opening up iTunes. This will prompt you to tell iTunes where the library is. The key is to copy everything from your My MUSIC\ITUNES folder. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
    What is throwing me off is there is another option to, "Create LIBRARY". Not sure how that works. But the instructions are here: When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
    1.Quit iTunes.
    2.Locate your external hard drive.
    Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
    Windows: In My Computer
    3.Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
    Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
    Windows Vista or Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\

  • Lost all Subclips from project after system crash

    Hi,
    I'm new to the forum and tried to find an answer but I'm not seeing it so I apologize if this is covered somewhere else.
    I've been using Premiere Pro (CS4) for a couple of years.  I've made extensive use of SUBCLIPS for projects and I found they helped organize the building a complex sequence in several documentaries and they have worked well for me - until my system crashed. While the project opens and I find all media, I find that all SUBCLIPS are gone.  Have I lost them forever?  Can they be recovered?
    I have built a new system and installed my old data hard drives, but I have a newly loaded C-drive.  I am running Windows 7 on both the new and the dead system.  I can still extract data from the old C-drive if needed.  
    I am wondering just how Subclips are stored.  They do not appear to be files – where do they live?  Can they be transferred? 
    I would really like to avoid the number of hours it will take to rebuild those subclips.
    Thanks!

  • Satellite M40: Win XP install after system crash- ser.number problem

    Hello there,
    i would like to ask you what shall i do. I bought new toshiba satellite m40 laptop about 5 years ago in London.
    There was no Win XP recovery cd (no recovery partition on hdd as well), just cd with toshiba drivers in the box. Now my system crashed.
    Took me long time to figure out what it was. (BSOD - "not ACPI compliant") I tried almost everything even HDD format.
    Later on i completely dismanteled laptop, cleaned the dust inside and it works again - no BSOD.
    Now i need to install my WinXP back. So i downloaded WinXP service pack 3 cd-rom and tried to install it.
    It wont take my serial number which i have on a sticker on my toshiba.
    Please help me, what shall i do?
    I paid for WinXP (system was included in price) and now i cannot use it.

    Well, i was in London just few months when i bought that laptop. The guy in the store told me the box include everything - it was the way they got it. I didn't know how it works in London (well except the robb of in an exchange office on victoria train station first day and another one paying for a laptop in Computer store which had branches all around London and the company crashed and did not pay me back) and it was my first (delivered) laptop as well. Of course i asked why there is no Win XP cd (or recovery). I used to have many destops before starting with old good 386@20MHz. I was very well aware that i really need installation cd of windows, do remember loads of system crashes of Win95 and Win98. Maybe somebody took it out of the box, who knows. I am just 100% sure it was not there. So i reconciled myself with it, was a newbee there, didn't want to make problems. My fault. Another one was not buying recovery program (or use of that toshiba recovery creator) to make image of hdd. Those days imaging system was quite a new thing as well-at least for me. Few days ago I tried toshiba support web to find recovery cd, even e-bay, etc. to find and buy it. No chance. I can try to call Toshiba UK support centre, but i guess it will be the same answer.
    You wrote your friend has got one as well, is it the type -225 ? Full name of it is: Toshiba satellite m40 -225. Different number means different hardware, but recovery cd of your friend might be compatible. Would it be possible to ask him to give/sale me an image of that disk? Toshiba support in my country cannot provide help or further info, is not comparable with the UK or US one. But thank you guys for answering me anyway! :-) Any idea welcomed.
    EDIT: BSOD (not ACPI compliant) is unfortunatelly back, laptop works just in really cold (-10 C) environment. Restoration CD would be logical step to go.

  • Svrmgrl: connect internal requires password after system crash

    In the password file I set the password of the os

    I do not think the Oracle OS user password change is the problem. When you alter SYS password using the alter user command, it should change the password file automatically.
    Try
    SVRMGR> connect sys/sys_password as see whether it works. If it does not, then check other issues.

  • RMAN-07527 After System Crash

    We recently had a system crash (hardware issue).  When the system came back up I noticed an error in the event log (ORA-19816) that instructed me to use CATALOG RECOVERY AREA in RMAN.  When I did this I received an RMAN-07527 error indicating that the copies of the redo logs and archivelog files that are duplexed there were not created using the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter.  Can I just delete these files?  Will Oracle recreate them if necessary?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    RMAN-07527:
    Reason: File was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter
    Cause: This message should be accompanied by other message(s) indicating the name of file that was not created using DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter. One of the following scenarios caused this error: 1) This is an archived log file and was created when the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter was set explicitly to flash recovery area location. For example, LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_1="location=+FRA" where "+FRA" was also your DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST value. 2) This is an RMAN backup file and was created in a flash recovery area using the FORMAT option of the BACKUP command. 3) This is an online log file or current control file and was created prior to setting the flash recovery area. 4) This file fits none of the above scnearios and is not supported by the flash recovery area.
    Action: All of following actions will resolve future occurences of this error: 1) To create archived logs in flash recovery area, set the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to "location=USE_DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST". Do not explicitly set the LOG_ARCHIVE_DEST_n initialization parameter to a flash recovery area location. 2) To create RMAN backups in flash recovery area, do not use the FORMAT option of the BACKUP command. All of following actions will resolve current problem: 1) If this is an archived log file or an RMAN backup file, use the CATALOG command to re-catalog the files. 2) If this is an online log file or a current control file to be managed by the flash recovery area, re-create the file using the DB_RECOVERY_FILE_DEST initialization parameter.

  • AirPort partially broken after system crash

    Hi, before my system crash which caused me to force reboot it. My Internet Sharing from my Ethernet-to-computer-using-AirPort worked fine.
    Now. the Internet Sharing doesn't work because:
    No "Arrow Up" icon on top my AirPort icon on menu bar, I tried to uncheck then check "Internet Sharing" in Sharing preference pane but it still doesn't show up.
    "AirPort" network not showing up under the menu of Stat menu. Normally there's when AirPort was turned on.
    However the AirPort menu could detect secured wireless network from my neighbor.
    Here is the screenshot of my Network, I don't know what does yellow light next to AirPort indicated or if it's normal? I repaired permission and it doesn't help.

    Anyone has a clue? thanks!

    Obviously it's a bug.
    Previously I was using Chinese as the system language.
    After I switch back to English, the Internet Sharing can't understand the Chinese text（亿太网:Ethernet) that were remain selected in the Internet Sharing preference. I have to reselect it to make things work.
