Help need to recover corrupted ipad backup

I need help recovering a corrupted ipad backup. I was unable to restore my ipad from the backup when upgrading to ios 4.2. Does anyone know of a program that will allow me to decrypt the data from this backup?? Any hints or help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you so very much!

Your best option would be to try a program called backup extractor. It is mac only

Help needed to recover corrupt virtual disk - No snapshots

Hi
Please could somebody help me.
I was running Clean Up Virtual Machine and then I Force Quit Fusion. Now I can't start my VM. I have run vmware_vdiskmanager to try and recover the virtual disk, but I get the following error.
VixDiskLib: Invalid configuration file parameter. Failed to read configuration file.
The virtual disk, '/Users/juan-emil/Documents/Virtual Machines.localized/Windows 7.vmwarevm/Virtual Disk.vmdk', is corrupted and cannot be repaired.
In an attempt to solve the problem I created snapshots to see if I can recover from them, but all I did was to un-associate my fusion with the virtual disk.
What do I do. Please somebody help. I cannot afford to loss this VM. All my work is on it.

If even vmware-vdiskmanager cannot repair the .vmdk file anymore, then I'm afraid that you may need to revert to your latest backup. What may be worth a try though is to see whether another start of the clean process will work!?
Other than the above, you can try to contact continuum, who may have further ideas.

How to find out which archived logs needed to recover a hot backup?

I'm using Oracle 11gR2 (11.2.0.1.0).
I have backed up a database when it is online using the following backup script through RMAN
connect target /
run {
allocate channel d1 type disk;
backup
incremental level=0 cumulative
filesperset 4
format '/san/u01/app/backup/DB_%d_%T_%u_%c.rman'
database
}The backup set contains the backup of datafiles and control file. I have copied all the backup pieces to another server where I will restore/recover the database but I don't know which archived logs are needed in order to restore/recover the database to a consistent state.
I have not deleted any archived log.
How can I find out which archived logs are needed to recover the hot backup to a consistent state? Can this be done by querying V$BACKUP_DATAFILE and V$ARCHIVED_LOG? If yes, which columns should I query?
Thanks for any help.

A few ways :
1a. Get the timestamps when the BACKUP ... DATABASE began and ended.
1b. Review the alert.log of the database that was backed up.
1c. From the alert.log identify the first Archivelog that was generated after the begin of the BACKUP ... DATABASE and the first Archivelog that was generated after the end of the BACKUP .. DATABASE.
1d. These (from 1c) are the minimal Archivelogs that you need to RECOVER with. You can choose to apply additional Archivelogs that were generated at the source database to contininue to "roll-forward"
2a. Do a RESTORE DATABASE alone.
2b. Query V$DATAFILE on the restored database for the lowest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# and CHECKPOINT_TIME. Also query for the highest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# and CHECKPOINT_TIME.
2c. Go back to the source database and query V$ARCHIVED_LOG (FIRST_CHANGE#) to identify the first Archivelog that has a higher SCN (FIRST_CHANGE#) than the lowest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# from 2b above. Also query for the first Archivelog that has a higher SCN (FIRST_CHANGE#) than the highest CHECKPOINT_CHANGE# from 2b above.
2d. These (from 2c) are the minimal Archivelogs that you need to RECOVER with.
(why do you need to query V$ARCHIVED_LOG at the source ? If RESTORE a controlfile backup that was generated after the first Archivelog switch after the end of the BACKUP ... DATABASE, you would be able to query V$ARCHIVED_LOG at the restored database as well. That is why it is important to force an archivelog (log switch) after a BACKUP ... DATABASE and then backup the controlfile after this -- i.e. last. That way, the controlfile that you have restored to the new server has all the information needed).
3. RESTORE DATABASE PREVIEW in RMAN if you have the archivelogs and subsequent controlfile in the backup itself !

can you please tell how to restore
yes it is a datafile corruptionYou did not say how you defined that's a datafile corruption. You provide minimum to zero information.
I just need to bring the database up,no need any exact data
I can refresh from prod laterThen drop and recreate database. Basically and since you are not in archive mode, no recover is possible. Period.
Nicolas.Hi,
How did you come to the conclusion that your datafile is corrupted? Can you provide and supported logs?

Urgent help needed, can I restore N900 Backup file...

i owned a N900 (now sold out)
before selling i took backup of contacts from backup restore option in application section
now i bought a N8 but i m not able to restore my contacts
1. is there any way to restore them in N8?
2. if not, can i convert them in TEXT or any readable format
urgent help needed
thanks in advance

The backup procedures built into the phone are only designed for restoring to the same phone (ie: in case or data corruption, software update or repair etc.), they can't usually be used to restore to a phone with a different operating system.
You should have backed up with Ovi Suite before selling the N900, that would have been able to restore to the N8.

Help needed to recover info on iPad2 (restore state)

Hi!
I've a real problem.
My mother has an iPad, and she says that when try to connect to iTunes (on PC not Mac), the iPad goes to restore state.
It appears on the screen the iTunes logo with the USB wire, and waits to be connected.
If I connect to a iTunes (Mac or PC), on the computer screen appears a warning message saying:
"iTunes had detected an iPad on restore state. You must restore this iPad to use it with iTunes" (it's the translation of the spanish message "iTunes ha detectado un iPad en modo recuperación. Debe restaurar este iPad para poder usarlo en iTunes.").
But now, when i try to "recover" the iPad via iTunes, appears a new message:
"Are you sure you want to restore to factory settings of the iPad? All of it contents and stored data will be erased and the latest version of the software wil be installed", with two buttons: "Restore & upadate" and "Cancel".
I think she had tried to update to IOS 6 ...
But my mam said me: "I have all the pictures on the iPad ... don't delete it !!!!"
Now the 1 million question: Can I retrieve, in this iPad state, any information stored in it? Or I can pray to get a divine intevention?
Thnaks in advantage (and my apologies for my "spaninglish".

If the pictures on the iPad are in the camera roll and your mom has not imported them to her computer, or if she has not backed up the iPad with iCloud or iTunes, when you restore the iPad they will be erased and there is no way to save them.
If these are photos that she synced to the iPad from iTunes, she doesn't have to worry about losing the photos because they would still have to be on her computer somewhere - since that is where she would have synced them from.
So you need to find out if she backs up her iPad or if she did import them to the computer.
If she has no backup and the photos are not on the computer - her choices are restore the iPad and have a working device again and lose the photos - or keep the photos on an iPad that she can't use anyway and will not be able to get the photos no matter what she does.
Really seems like an easy choice if you think about it that way.

DESPERATE: need to recover corrupted Word file

Hi Everyone,
I hope someone out there can help me recover a corrupted Word file. My Macbook froze while I working on an important document. I was forced to restart it but when I tried to reopen the file I had been working on, I got a message that "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened" I have surfed the web for solutions and some suggested opening and repairing the file under PC versions of Word. I've done that, but when the file opens, the entire document is filled with weird symbols and characters. Please tell that I haven't lost everything
Thanks for any leads for solving this or on any recovery softwares that might provide some partial recovery of the data.

Well it's hard to say if recovery of your file is possible, but you can check if you have selected the Save AutoRecover information every x minutes check box in your MS Office settings.
If yes just check AutoRecover file location box in MS Office settings.
If not and you don't have backup, your file is lost i think.

Help needed to recover migrated bookmarks

Expert help needed to connect iPhone / iPad using BlueTooth and Wi-Fi

We need expert help to connect iPhone / iPad using BlueTooth and Wi-Fi. If you have worked with Apple MFi Program [http://developer.apple.com/programs/mfi], or have expertise/experience in this, please contact me. Thanks! Kevin.

Hi there.
I connected to my livebox after about three attempts. You have to pair the livebox by pressing either the number one or two that is on the box. When it is in pair mode it stays that way for ten minutes so it gives you chance to try your wep code that is on the bottom of the box a few times. I can't remember which one was successful but i did try the letters in uppercase and lower and one of them seemed to connect.
Welcome to discussions by the way.
Hope this helps JB

HELP NEEDED - iTunes.exe -Corrupt File

I am getting this error message everytime I plug in my iPod to update thru iTunes.
iTunes.exe - Corrupt File
The file or directory/iPod_ControliTunes/TempFile is corrupt & unreadable.
Please run the Chkdsk utility.
So my question is....how do I backup all the songs and playlists so that I do not lose them. And then do I just run the dist that came with the iPod to start it over again and if so do I delete the old Itunes?
Plese help I would like to save the songs, restore iTunes somehow and be able to bring back the songs with nothing lost.

In Windows, the default location of your songs is:
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes
Your 'iTunes library' file which hold all playlists, locations of songs, ratings etc. is located in:
\Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\iTunes Library.itl
Copy the complete iTunes directory to your backup device.
That way, you will copy all songs and library information.
After fixing the problem with the corrupt file, put the files back to the location they came from (if necessary).
In my very limited experience with the chkdsk utility, no files were lost, but it is always wise to have a backup in case something goes wrong.
Hope this helps.
M
P.S.
You will probably get more help by posting in the iTunes for Windows forum (this is the Mac forum)

Help needed to recover lost photos, please!

Please help! All 49,537 photos in our iPhoto library have suddenly disappeared. A hopeful fact is that the 512 gigs they recently filled has not reappeared on Finder as available space. Might someone out there in the ether be able to help? Please?

If your profile is correct about the library and system versions apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager 3.8.6 and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

HT1766 emergency help needed to recover deleted contacts from Iphone

Here is the situtation that occured that resulted in deleting all the 500+ contacts in my iphone
A couple of days ago, I went to the mobile phone store and bought an iphone 4s upgrade package. I have been using an iphone 3s for the late couple of years.
recently I upgraded the software of the old iphone and received the icloud software and backed up all the data to the cloud.
Now during the upgrade to the iphone 4s the shop assistant set up the new phone and transfered the sim etc to the new phone, I was unaware that the new iphone was now a clone of my old iphone with all my old data and a live sync to the icloud and itunes etc.
When I got home I decided that I would give the new phone to my wife, so I proceeded to delete all the data off the new phone, this involved manually deleting all 500+ contacts in the address book, bar a few close friends that my wife knows, to safe her reentering the data.
What I did not know was that the phone was syncing to the icloud/itunes everytime i hit delete and deleted a contact from the icloud and also from my old iphone that I am still using, so now I have 2 x iphones with no contact data.
I have lost 15years of accumulated business and personal contact info, 75% of which I have no way of recovering from other sources.
My obvious questions is, is there any way of restoring my iphone's contact data from an earlier version of the the auto sync backup ie from 2 days ago ie the 18th June 2012 and not the sync'd backup from today or this evening?
OR is my life lost for ever?
can anyone help?
Thanks and regards
John

Unless you backed up somewhere else before deleting the contacts and not since, i.e. iTunes on your computer, sorry but no. The backups are overwritten each time there is changed data - old backups on iCloud aren't saved.
There is no way to restore any data deleted from an iOS device if it isn't in an available backup.
