Getting files off a dead iphone 6

My iphone 6 got wet and will not turn on. I understand I need a new phone and I am ok with that.
The big problem is the gentleman at the apple store said my icloud backups were incomplete and therefore useless. The syncs I have done with my computer did not create a backup either. If this phone was a laptop or desktop, I would just pull the hard drive, connect a cable to it and copy it to another drive. What options do I have with my iphone?

Since iCloud backup is incomplete and your local iTunes backup is not there, you don't have anymore options.

How to get files off a dead iPad 1

Mine is an iPad 1, and I got it a couple of years ago. The previous owner rarely used it, and it looked like new.
One night I put it on to charge, and it had 23% battery remaining. The next morning, it was completely unresponsive.
I have tried the hard reset method (holding power/home buttons at same time for 1 minute) as well as DFU recovery mode, and neither creates a response. The screen stays blank with no signs of power.
Plugging it into the computer with iTunes running does nothing. iTunes does not recognize the iPad. I have an iPhone also, and iTunes does recognize it, and the charger for the iPad works with the iPhone just fine. So this is just the iPad, not my cords.
I have pages and pages of notes on the iPad and did not use Cloud to back them up because our Wifi is so slow.
How can I get them back?

If it's truly dead then there is no way to get the data. If it's just a battery problem, then you may be able to just get a battery replaced and find your data are still there. But I would see if you can determine just what the problem is before going further. Your local Apple retailer should be able to help by providing a diagnosis.

Can I set up an iCloud on iPad to get pictures off my dead iPhone 4S?

I had a Lifeproof case on my phone and dropped it into water on accident. I have an iCloud but its not set up totally and I am trying to get the 1,300 pictures off my phone and to put them onto my iPad. My phone hasn't been updated due to the mass amount of pictures not allowing me to update to iOS 7, while the iPad is fully updated. My phone is in rice and has been for the last few hours. It worked for about 5 min after dropping it but now isn't. Is there any hope/is this possible?

Sorry, but I'm not clear. Was iCloud set up on the phone prior to the accident?
P.S. the phone is now almost certainly shot for good - trying to turn it on only a few hours after the accident, while it was still wet, made sure of that.

I have a G4 Quicksilver that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new iMac?

I have a G4 Quicksilver 2001 that no longer works, but the hd may still be good. How can I get files off the G4 hd and onto my new late 2013 iMac?

Also, how do I boot the G4 into FireWire Target Disk mode?
First, the G4 must be able to start to use FWTDM. If it can start, hold the t key at boot until you get a "screensaver pattern" that looks like this:
If the G4 is attached via a FireWire cable to a newer Mac with a FireWire port, the G4's hard drive will appear on the other Mac's desktop just as if it were any external drive. A USB cable won't work for FWTDM.
Just wondering if the drive in my G4, which I believe may be an ATA drive will also work in an enclosure for a SATA drive?
No. ATA (actually "PATA" or "IDE") and SATA are different interfaces. PATA external enclosures are now very hard to find. You best and least expensive option is the adaptor that BDAqua linked. One of its connectors is for PATA drives.

Getting Files off of ATV

Hi All,
Is there a way to get files off of ATV that have been synced from iPhoto? Here's my problem. I have a LaCie drive that I use to save all of my media files on and that drive syncs my photo's to my ATV. I can no longer mount my LaCie drive; which is another issue, but I want to be able to take my photos from my ATV and back them up on another drive so I don't loss them if my LaCie drive is fried. I can view the photos on my ATV, so the files themselves are there, but I can't figure out how to access the ATV as a volume drive and copy the files somewhere else.
Can someone help me out?
Thanks in advance.
John

You can't officially do it.
AppleTV is not additional storage or a backup solution.
It only holds non-retrievable copies.
Your only solutions are to hack/mod AppleTV to open up some functionality - which is beyond most user, or to dismatle and remove the internal drive and then use an adpter to connect it to your computer and manually hunt for the files.
You can certainly get at the files if you're prepared to take AppleTV apart.

Getting files off an early 2000's hard drive

My fiance has an early 2000's laptop that the screen is broke and no power cord. I have removed the hard drive and put in an enclosure that works and is recognized by my pc at work but not able to see what's on it as it doesn't recognize the file structure. I have hooked it up to my imac at home and nothing has happened. What do i need to do to get the files off it?

A: does the HD spin up (listen for same) hooked to your Imac?
B: hooked to your Imac at home does the external HD show up in disk utility?
great job on yanking the HD from the dead Mac and tossing it into an enclosure. I hope its not a 'DYNEX' enclosure you bought at the local electronics retail shop

Can I get files off of my old hard drive?

So, I've been going through a whole lot of trouble lately with my late 2011 Macbook Pro. A little over a week ago it wouldn't start up, and after attempting the recovery process I learned that I had a corrupted hard drive. The problem was I had a partially written 50000 word novel on there which I hadn't backed up. I'm aware that that was incredibly stupid of me, and I usually always back my work up, but I guess because I'd just purchased this macbook in July I didn't expect to have a problem so soon. Anyway, I took it to the apple store and by hooking it up to genius bar OS instead of my own they were able to get into my hard drive and they let me extract the files I needed, and then proceeded to replace my hard drive which took about four days. I just went back to look at the novel after getting the computer back today, and I realized it somehow only got half of it; maybe it was in two documents or something that I missed, I'm not sure what happened, but it's missing a hundred pages.
So, long story short, I need to get back on my hard drive again. They gave the old one to me, but the last thing I want to do is go through the whole entire process of switching drives again, because I need this computer to work on and it would undoubtedly take forever to do. What I'm asking is, does anyone know if there's another way to retrieve these files? Would the apple store be willing to let me load it onto a different computer so I can still keep my own to work on? I know it's probably a long shot, but I'm about ready to give up and this is my only hope.
I'll be returning there tomorrow afternoon, because apparently on top of all of this they did something to my battery while replacing the hard drive, and now it's coming up as not available and it relies entirely on the power adapter to function. So they've got to fix that too. Just my luck, isn't it?
Thanks.

There are several ways to get data off an old drive, some of which have already been mentioned:
USB drive adapter cable (best choice if you only need to do this rarely, too fragile for frequent use)
External enclosure (choose the 0GB empty case)
Drive dock (I keep one of these around to read old drives that are in the closet, so I no longer need the other accessories. Super handy accessory, much more reliable than the USB adapter cable.)
There are also write-protected forensic drive docks intended to examine and rescue data from drives without altering the contents, but that's probably more than what you need. They're mostly for data recovery shops.

How do I get files off of a macbook pro that doesn't have a working trackpad or keyboard? Is it possible to connect it to a new macbook pro?

I spilled water on my old macbook pro and now the keyboard and trackpad no longer work. I have a new one but want to get some files off of the old one. What would be the easiest way of doing this. The old one also has a password so I'm not sure I could get into it anyway.

You could remove the hard drive and put it into an external enclosure. You can connect it to another Mac via Target Disk Mode and transfer the files you want that way. If you put the drive into an external enclosure you can use Migration Assistant to transfer your Home folder to the new computer.

Any way to get contacts off a dead Centro?

My Centro died a few weeks ago (usual issue with the hotsync loop, not turning on, taking the battery out, etc.) and I never transfered my contacts list or photos to my SIM card. The phone is definitely dead -- no coming back this time like it has about 10x in the past. Is there a way to retrieve this information after the phone died? Is there a place I can send it to?
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

If you are sure it's totally dead then your only chance for getting data off the device is by googling "data recovery" and there are companies out there that can retrieve data off of dead devices. I'm not sure of the cost, but a little research and calling them will be able to give you your answer.

Getting Files off CD-RW that is not Closed

Hi,
I have an issue that is new to me. My dad has a CD of a music concert his chorus performed that was captured from the mixing board to a CD writer of some sort. The result was a CD that has a single session that is marked as Open when I look at the disk in Toast.
He had 2 such CDs but I closed the session and finalized one disk by burning an additional file on it. That closed the disk and I could see the 2 sessions (as different volumes) and get the audio files off the disk. However, the second CD seems to have run out of room for me to try that trick again. I tried to copy an empty file created by the "touch" command (probably about 4k in size since nothing is every empty in size) it tells me there is ~600k to write and only about 300k available. Toast tells me there is 702MB of data on the disk already (and CDs only say they hold 700MB so I'm assuming it's at the limit).
So the big question is whether I can use Terminal or some other means to just grab the files from the disk even though the session is open and the disk is not closed. Has anyone run into this before or a way around it? Since the Finder will not mount the open session I can't see it in the /Volumes folder to copy from it. Disk Utility wants to erase the disk and Toast can see the disk and if I had room I could write more to it.
Any help or ideas anyone has is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sean

Give this one a try....
http://mac.softpedia.com/get/Utilities/Dragon-Burn.shtml
Do just run it and go.....and do a fresh restart, run that app, then feed the CD - all in one shot, right after a reboot and don't run any other burn apps, feed in any other disks, etc.
If it mounts for DragonBurn, immediately create an image, then burn that to a blank DVD or export audio tracks to iTunes...don't try to pack it all back onto a CD.

Can I get pictures off of an iPhone 5 with water damage?

So my wife recently dropped her iPhone 5 in the toilet... And I believe she tried to power it on after she got it out and dried it off, which I know is a big no no. So I tried the bag of rice trick. That didn't seem to do too much. When I plug it in to my MacBook Pro, iTunes will recognize it, and say that it is in recovery mode, and that it needs to be restored in order to continue. I said **** with it and tried to restore, but I get error message 2001. I know I can get at least a little money for it from places like Gazelle, etc. even if it is water damaged, and I have already ordered the 5s with an upgrade we had on our plan, so I'm not too concerned about having it repaired; although if I could restore it, I could get a little more money. So I have 2 questions.
1. Is there anyway I can get the pictures off of the iPhone without paying $230 to have it repaired.
2. What does error message 2001 mean? And is there anyway to restore it at this point?

I the device will not power on without going into recovery mode then the pictures would not be restorable even with a repair.
Try Resetting the device ( Power button + home butto till you see the apple).
Error 2001: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3694?viewlocale=en_US will help with this if at all possible. However if you restore the pictures will be erased.
Your best bet is to look in iTunes for a backup ( Edit>preference>devices you will see all the device backups on the computer here) or in the iCloud once you sign into her Apple id on the new device.

Problem getting files off a disk

Hi, I have a DVD with data on it (not a film DVD) but can only get half the files off it. I get the error 36. Is there any app or way of somehow getting past this?
thanks

I am quite sure it says on the label its IDE. Would there be a difference in the connectors? It's connector fit the IDE enclosures.
I plugged the drive into my MBP running 10.6.latest. Eventually the drive mounted, I tried to access it via Finder, the bottom right hand monochrome spinner went on. I tried to unmount the drive after maybe 10+ minutes, it balked saying the drive was in use. I looked back at the Finder, which now showed the drives contents. I tried to cancel the windows saying the drive wasn't ejected because it was in use, but such window was in use. I dragged the important folders from the mounted drive to a new folder on the desktop. The little file transfer windows popped up. I now have two "Preparing to copy" listings for the two folders I tried to move, though it has been preparing to copy for about 5+ minutes now.

Getting files off of idisk

Help!!Hard drive crashed and now I have a new one and I can't figure out how to get stuff off of .mac onto iweb on my new hard drive, which of course is blank. I assume that is possible. How do I transfer all my pages onto my hard drive?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Unfortunately you can't get the published web site back into iWeb. It's a one way street. Unless you have a backup copy of the domain.sites2 file that you used to create the site you'll have to start over and rebuild from scratch. This site will give some tips on doing so: http://iwebfaq.org/site/iWebBackupretrieve.html

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If your hard drive spins up, it may be possible using FireWire Target Disk Mode:

I have never done this myself, but if you have questions, I'm sure the more knowledgeable members of the forum will be happy to help you.
Good luck!
