How to recover data in iPhoto?

How to recover data from iphoto?

I haven't done any conscious backup.
Time to start. Now. Using a computer without a back up is like driving without a seat belt. You'll be fine as long as nothing goes wrong, but if something does go wrong it'll be a much bigger mess.
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

How to recover data from bad hard drive

Once a hard drive goes bad (cannot get into the computer), is there any hope of recovering any data from it? If so, how?

Do you mean the hard drive is mechanically broken for sure? It's not a data corruption issue that is causing a problem with starting up the Mac, but maybe not be a bad mechanism?
If the drive is definitely broken, there are businesses that specialize in recovering data from bad hard drives. For example
http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/ (I always saw their booth at MacWorld Expos...)
The cost of such services is usually high.
cannot get into the computer
So that probably means the hard drive in question is the internal drive? If you don't know for sure that the hard drive is physically broken, you can try starting up using your Mac OS X installation disc. Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down. When you get to Installer's screen, go up to the menu bar and run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Does the internal drive appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
Alternately, if you have another Mac (that has FireWire), you can try starting the Mac with the problem in FireWire Target Disk Mode,
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
Connect the "target" Mac to the other Mac (running normally) using a FireWire cable. Run Disk Utility on that Mac. Does the hard drive of the Mac in FireWire Target Disk Mode appear in the sidebar?
If you can get the internal drive to appear in Disk Utility, you may be able to run Repair Disk on the First Aid tab. There are also third-party utilities, such as TechTool Pro (Micromat), Drive Genius (Prosoft), and Disk Warrior (Alsoft), that may be able to fix (or at least recover data from) the hard drive.

How to recover data from a hard drive with bad blocks?

An external hard drive, 4TB Iomega...connected via eSATA cable...had a power outage and the drive won't be read by OSX now. (Yes, it was on a surge protector and no I did not have a backup. I was actually preparing for the process of creating a backup when the power went out!) Anyway, I have tried using Data Rescue 3 and DiskDrill to try and recover data from the drive. I can recover the first 1/3 of the drive, but it ejects when either app tries to access the bad block. Can anyone tell me how/what software to use to recover the data? I know there are programs that will avoid the bad block but I've only found them for Windows. Are there any that will do such a thing in Lion? Any help will be appreciated...and no, I can not afford a data recovery service. Trying to do this on my own.

Basics of File Recovery
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. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

How to recover date from i phone 4

Hi,
I have an iphone 4 and unfortunately the phone got wet (waves on the beach). I understand there is a problem with the board and maybe also with the battery.
I would like to know if I am eligble for an out of warranty replacement. Do I have to buy the same mobile or is it possible to upgrade to an i phone 5.
And - more important - how can I retrieve or at least, is there a possibility to retrieve some data I had on my phone.
Any suggestion how to recover the data is more welcome. Maybe there is a programme ?
Thanks for helping out.

"I would like to know if I am eligble for an out of warranty replacement. Do I have to buy the same mobile or is it possible to upgrade to an i phone 5."
You would get the exact same model
"And - more important - how can I retrieve or at least, is there a possibility to retrieve some data I had on my phone."

How to recover data and system in MacBook Pro?

I have a MacBook Pro. I have now problem about booting the system. The GRAY logo comes with blinking by a "Stop" logo and the system can not open. When I use the Mac Installation DVD (Snow Leopard) all my data goes to be erased after installing a fresh one.
Shall I recover my Mac?
If I couldn't recover and was forced to install a fresh OS, is it possible to recover data after having the fresh installation?
Thank you
Diako

Not much, but you can install OS X on a extenral drive, boot from it and recover files, then do the erase and install.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive

Deleted account in Mail - how to recover data?

I've had nothing but problems since updating to Leopard with Mail.
As I'm often on the move, resetting of SMTP in different accounts is often necessary, but with new mail, I've run into nothing but problems.
The latest problem is my fault - as I am constantly having to reset smtp's, i accidentally deleted may account and all the mail in it! All in all, more than one year of all my professional correspondence!
The strange thing is that the account wasn't really deleted - the settings remained somehow but the mail is gone - anyone know of a way to recover the mail?

Hi Tim
First, you don't need to reset your SMTP settings under Leopard. For each account, under the General preferences tab, make sure that "Use only this server" is unticked for the SMTP section. Then, go into the SMTP server drop-down list and create your various servers. Now when you compose an email from that account, you'll have a new drop-down which gives you the option of any of your SMTP servers.
The email for each account is stored in your home folder's Library/Mail folder. You should see a "POP-youremailaddress" or "IMAP-youremailaddress" folder for the main account folders (Inbox, Sent, etc), and the Mailboxes folder contains mailboxes which you created locally. If you had a POP account, and the folder isn't there, it looks like your mail is probably gone. (No backup?). If it's an IMAP account, such as .Mac, your server will still contain the email. If you do see the folder, you should copy it to the Desktop and try Mail's File-Import Mailboxes menu.

How to recover data from failed drive that's part of mirrored raid

Hi Guys,
hope to get help from someone knowledgeable out there. I have a macpro and recently experienced a failed drive. I set up that failed drive as part of a mirrored raid, this set is not my primary drive and so my computer is stilling up and running but now am wondering how I access the data from the mirrored drive. Should the mirrored drive automatically mount on my desktop whereby I would be able to access the files? This is my first drive failure and I was under the impression having a mirror would duplicate my data and allow me to access it in situations like this. I'm a bit of novice in this area and not sure if the data is truly on the "mirror" or if there are things I need to do.
I launched disk utility and was able to see the mirrored drive and I selected "mount" drive but it would not mount; I then selected "verify" and got "unrecognizeable filesystem" Is this normal? Am I suppose do something to get access to the mirrored drive? Do I install a new drive in place of the failed drive and expect the raid to rebuild automatically whereby I then see the data?
Your help is much appreciated.

Even with a mirror, you still need a backup.
Along with Disk Utility, you still need 3rd party (TechTool Pro 5, Disk Warrior 4.1.1+).
And if you like to use RAID and esp mirror RAID, consider
http://www.softraid.com which is a step above (the pdf guide, manual you can download and they have a demo, so worth the read). SoftRAID can also import/convert an Apple RAID to its own format which has been known to recover drives and data.

How to recover data from non-mounting external drive?

OK- here is the pinch:
I have a Western Digital My Book 500GB Studio Edition which, though visible in Disk Utility, fails to mount, even when I try to do so via Disk Utility. I have tried all the usual- unplugged, repowered-up, changed the order of Mac to external drive power-up/plug in etc etc. It will not mount, end of.
Then I changed the housing, in case the issue was with that. No change.
Then I had a friend use his PC's software to recover the data and he pulled off what appears to be ALL of it (it was close on being the 500GB as the drive was full) but it is not usuable and the Final Cut Pro and iMovie files I am needing to recover, appear to have been "downgraded" to MPEGs and MP4s (how IS that even possible?!) with a few MOVs of which the bulk are unreadable. Oddly the clips are transitions only- no full three and a half minute (most of them are of music, songs of about that length) clips ever.
So- is there any chance that I can get software which will let me recover the content of the drive in a format which my MacBook Pro can use/understand? Or is it a lost cause?
I had done some research on the topic here and found one thread which mentioned accessing the drive via the "Terminal" (sounds wonderful, if I knew what it was and how to use it) and correcting a read and write setting, copying its content over to the hard drive (well- that is not possible as I have a smaller internal than that drive is but no never mind) and getting the non-mounting drive to once more mount.
Could that ^ be something worth pursuing? I cannot ask on the thread as it is from 2006 and, obviously, archived.
Hoping for some good news but am resigned almost.
Thank you for reading!

Did you try using a powered USB hub?
Mac's now cut off port powered drives if they draw too much current.
The external drive is a powered SATA, currently residing in a powered SATA to USB housing, no extensions. No, the drive is actually just not supported anymore and was not mountable before.
Also use the Mac version of Data Rescue for file recovery, it knows the Mac file formats better than PC file format recovery.
I cannot recover anything with a Mac because the Mac will not read it. It is not supported due to something my friend did with his PC:
This is only since he had a go at recovery. Before then it was supported and appeared fine- just not mountable.
Obviously what happened is it took the MPEG portions of the Mac files as it understood that and discarded the rest.
Yes, I gathered that and explained as much to him. It discarded the entire 120GB FCPro project file I kind of would like to recover.
Not sure what now...
You had mentioned cloning/imaging etc. which you edited out. Could that be something which can be done with a PC (I am not a PC user but I guess I could have a go) and then I use said image on the Mac to copy the bits I need to transfer to the Mac-formatted storage device? Or- with a different Mac? Not sure why that would make a difference but I am happy to try anything!
Thank you to you both christopher rigby1 and ds store- means a lot not to be completely up the creek without a paddle. I just wish that I had not been overwhelmed by the offer of assistance from a PC user and had had more of a go myself. I suspect it would not be this difficult now.

Macbook Pro hard drive failing, how to recover data?

My 2 year old MBP refused to boot up this morning. I was told at the Genius Bar that the hard drive is on its way out.
It is still able to mount when hooked up to another machine but apparently the geniuses don't do data recovery. I was refferred to a data recovery service or another option was to "hook the drive up to another machine" via some sort of docking station to lift the data off myself.
I have no idea where to start with this, does anyone know how I could accomplish this myself? Thanks in advance for any tips.

I hope that will work out for you, but I have very little confidence that all will go well that way.
Your situation is one in which it makes very good sense to ignore the warranty on your hard drive, replace it yourself at your own expense, and thus be able to keep the old drive — which Apple will keep, if Apple replaces it. Once you have a new drive in your MBP and an OS up and running on it, then you can connect the old drive to it and see what can be recovered. If you hand the machine over to Apple for the replacement and lose the old drive, and then you discover that some of your files in Mac-only formats have been corrupted by being written to a Windows file system on your HP computer, you'll have no chance of recovering them.
The way to avoid all this, of course, was to keep up-to-date backups on one or more external hard drives so it wouldn't be necessary to recover anything from the failed drive. Once you get your new drive, do that.

How to recover data from .bkf files made when os was XP Proffesional into the system when it is windows7

Hello Sir/Madam,
Previously I was using Microsoft Wndows XP Professional,with version: 5.1.2600 Service Pack 3 Build 2600.

And paste it to my external hard disk.
Then I used OS :Microsoft Windows 7 Professional(Version 6.1.7600 Build 7600).I formated my system deleted all the partitions and created new partions and installed Windows 7.

Plz help me.....
I downloaded Windows NT Backup - Restore Utility and tried to install NtBackupRestore_x86.msi .But it will not installed in Windows 7 with a message that this requires Removable Storage Management. Since RSM is not included in Windows 7 how does
one access old Backups from Windows XP?
Will the NtBackupRestore program be updated to be compatible with Windows 7? plz help................................

Yes, you need to first install Removable Storage Management software before installing NT-Backup.exe in Windows 7. To know more about restoring backup file, you can read this post: http://belanalavade.blog.com/2014/04/15/how-to-repair-damaged-bkf-file/
Berdooook
No. You do not need to install Removable Storage Management in Windows 7 to read NT backups!
You go to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/974674 and download the package for Windows 7 that Microsoft has published specifically for this!

How to recover data from the hard drive?

I've always heard that data is never really gone from the hard drive even after you delete it. How do I recover that data? My problem is some photos (my honeymoon photos) have been deleted from my computer and they have also been deleted from the recycle bin. I sure would like to recover them.

First stop using your system, then get a copy of a program that will recover files like Data Rescue 3. If you have a time machine backup you may be able to restore them.

How to recover data from hard drive?

All my data was saved in an external hard drive and it got deleted, don't know how. Is there a data recovery program that you recommend me?

Try using one of those listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.
