How do i recover data from an external hard drive that was accidentally deleted? After I verified the drive, a message appeared that said my drive needed to be repaired. When I tried to access the drive again, the 700 Gigs of music is gone!

Stop using the drive immediately, un plug it.
Buy a copy of ProSoft DataRescue 4 and use it to search for deleted files.

Since it's a new machine, contact Apple's Support, formerly Apple Express Lane and let them deal with it.

Can I recover data from a reformatted hard drive? I did not complete a back up prior to talking to Apple Support and the guy having me delete the hard drive (10.5.8) and start anew (10.6.3). My bad but is all lost?? Years of very important information....

You will need to purchase reovery sofware such as such as FileSalvage
http://subrosasoft.com/software/filesalvage
You can download a demo copy that will tell you what it can recover
If you want to recover that you must pay for the software then
When you do the recovery, you will need another disk drive to receive the recovered files
Having install a new operating system on the disk after the retformat is going to gradually reduce the amount of data that this software will be able to recover for you

How do I recover data from my dead hard drive?

How do I recover data from my dead hard drive?

Is it dead or corrupt? There are recovery programs out there, however if your HD is head, paying pros to do data recovery is VERY costly. Some have removed the platters and installed them in likewise drives that dont have head crashes, but torque tolerances are tight, and doing it right is a bit advanced and tricky for most. Ive done HD disk swaps 4 times and had success 3 of the 4 times. It requires cannibalizing another working HD. In the future remember the golden rule, 2 copies is 1, and one is NONE.
Its likely you could find a local computer repair station that can do it for you cheaply. HD dont really "die", they have fried SATA bus, or crashed HEADS........the platters DO demagnatize over long time due to heat and degauss of the data (poor storage, etc).........but in specific, a HARD DRIVE DOESNT DIE ,.........only the flying head mechanisms that read and write the data, and SATA / bus that feeds the data DIES,.......but the data (unless corrupt or magnetically corrupted) is THERE

Need to recover data from Bootcamp partition

Hi, all,
I recently sent my Macbook Pro in for repairs after a crash (Windows partition not recognized, after working well for a year), and they replaced the logic board and HD, the former of which was dead and the latter of which "wasn't running very well". I got the HD back, and have been trying to get data off it; the problem is, most of my data was stored on my Windows bootcamp partition, which I can now see - but not access.
This is the info I got off it, since Disk Utility still recognizes it.
Mount Point : /Volumes/BOOTCAMP
Capacity : 116.7 GB (125,294,346,240 Bytes)
Format : Windows NT File System (NTFS)
Available : 26.6 GB (28,521,467,904 Bytes)
Used : 90.1 GB (96,772,874,240 Bytes)
Number of Files : 138,674
Owners Enabled : No
Number of Folders : 0
I feel as if there should be a way to recover data from the drive, since it obviously still...exists and is recognized. But using "verify" in Disk Utility returns a "verify volume failed: invalid request", and I can't otherwise see any files, since there's apparently 0 folders.
Does anyone have any recommendations for data recovery software that works in Mac? I can't just run Windows from an external drive because the HD with the Bootcamp on it is Mac-formatted.
Many thanks.

Probably the best option for attempting to recover files is attaching the hdd to a> USB Adapter and plug it into a usb port an another machine. If the hdd has not failed it should show up as a drive and can be browsed on the other machine to copy files over.

Help needed to insert data from different database

Hi ,
I have a requirement where i need to fetch data from different database through database link .Depending on user request , the dblink needs to change and data from respective table from mentioned datbase has to be fetched and populated .Could i use execute immediate for this, would dblink work within execute immediate .If not , could pls let me know any other approach .

What does "the dblink needs to change" mean?
Are you trying to dynamically create database links at run-time? Or to point a query at one of a set of pre-established database links at run-time?
Are you sure that you really need to get the data from the remote database in real time? Could you use materialized views/ Streams/ etc to move the data from the remote databases to the local database? That tends to be far more robust.

Can I recover data from an internal hard drive that I removed from my MB Pro?

A few months back my HD failed on my MB pro. I have since then replaced this HD with a SSHD. My question is can I recover this data from the old hard drive? I remember when I was at the Genius Bar one of the techs told me there was a company I could send the HD to and they could recover the data. Does anyone know of such a company?
Thanks

here is one of many companies. But it is expensive and not guaranteed. http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/

Need to retrieve data from IBM Travelstar Hard drive from G3 Powerbook

The only problem is the G3 I had is broken, i now have a Macbook Pro Intel and need to retrieve the data from the old Hard drive.
I have removed the drive from the G3 but is it possible to connect it to my Macbook pro?
I'm considering buying an old G3 and fitting it to that then using target mode to retrieve the files.
Mac Book Pro 17" Intel Mac OS X (10.4.7)

The most cost-effective solutions may be one of the external drive adapters such as the one from Newer Tech.
I'm considering buying an old G3 and fitting it to that then using target mode
Just FYI, G3s do not support target disk mode. You'd have to have an AGP G4 or later.

I need to delete files from my iMac hard drive, but not from my other devices (that are sync. to iCloud). How do I do this?? My Mac is a 24-inch Mid 2007 running on Mountain Lion. Thanks for your help.

I have recently recieved messages indicating that my start up disc is almost full. Consequently I need to remove some files from my hard drive. I've backed up my hard drive onto a NAS system & onto an external harddrive. The problem now, is that whenever I try to delete a file, a message comes up saying that if I remove this file from my hard disc it will remove it from all my other devices that are syn. to it. How do I remove a file (movies) from my iMac but not from other devices.
Thanks for your help
Robert

You're right - this question has nothing to do with iSync!
You're best bet would be to buy yourself an external Firewire or USB 2.0 hard-disk. There's no way you'll get 150gb onto an 80gb drive - certainly not in an instantly accessible way.
Your new Mac would've had the Migration Assistant appear during the initial OS install. This allows you to connect your new and old Mac together via a Firewire cable and automatically transfer your important files from old Mac to new.
Once you've all the files off your old Mac, re-format it and re-install the OS that came with it. If you boot up the Mac from the OS install DVD, there is an option to re-format the HD and install the OS.

Help needed with loading data from ODS to cube

Hi
I am loading data from an ODS to a cube in QA. The update rules are active and definition seems right. I am getting the following error, in the update rules.
"Error in the unit conversion. Error 110 occurred"
Help.
Thanks.

Hi Chintai,
You can see the record number where the error occured in the monitor (RSMO) for this data load > goto the details tab and open up the Processing area (+ sign). Try it out...
Also about ignoring the error record and uploading the rest, this is done if you have set Error Handling in your InfoPackage (Update tab), but this would have to be done before the load starts, not after the error happens.
Hope this helps...
And since you thanked me twice, also please see here:-) https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn?rid=/webcontent/uuid/7201c12f-0701-0010-f2a6-de5f8ea81a9e [original link is broken]

Help needed in loading data from BW(200) to APO(100).

Hi everybody,
I am trying to load a master data from BW(200) to AP1(100) , this is what i did.
1) created a InfoObject, with some fields (general-ebeln, Attributes- bukrs, werks,matnr).
2) created and activated communication structure.
3) Then went to BW(200) created data source(sbiw) and extracted datas from a particular info object, which had same fields and saved it, then went to RSA3 checked for data availability in data source , and it was available there too.
4) Came back to AP1(100), in the source system tab, opened BW(200) and replicated the datas. I was able to see the Data source name which is created in BW(200).
5) Create and activated the Transfer struct.
6) created a info package, and loaded the data, but the monitor says " NOT YET COMPLEATED" , "CURRENTLY IN PROCESS". and it also shows "0 of 0 RECORDS".
I want to know,
1) Is there any mistake in what i have done above ?
2) how long will it take to complete the process (i.e. the loading) ?.
Please help me through this problem.
Thanks,
Ranjani.

Hi,
I am surprised with your steps. In APO, you want to load data from a particular infoobject from BW. Why did you create a specific extractor in SBIW???
You have just reinvented the wheel... It reminds me some people in the world ...
Here is what you should do:
- in BW, at the infosource level, you create a direct infosource based on the infoobject that you want to extract the data to APO (let's say 0MATERIAL)
- in BW, at the infosource level, you right click on the infosource itself and you choose 'GENERATE EXPORT DATASOURCE. That will create the datasources for you (attributes, texts, hierarchies) depending on the infoobject settings. The names of these datasources will begin with a 8 for the datamart
- in APO, you replicate the BW system. Now you find the datasources 80MATERIAL something
- in APO, you create the transfer rules to your infosource and you can load
Just give it a try
Regards

Need to extract data from a bricked hard drive - Failure ID ucx77t-69j7ms-mfpx1f-60vp03

Hi My laptop (HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14, purchased in October 2012) had gone slow recently, and finally its hard drive developed problems. At one point, it was so slow that it took a few minutes to sign off my user, so I shut it down manually while it was logging off. That was when it got really bad. Specifically, I reached the "Repairing disk errors. This may take over an hour to complete" screen. I left it to run for almost a full day and it didn't work. So, I rebooted the laptop and checked its diagnostics boot menu. It ran diagnostics on the hard drive, and on the whole laptop. There were no hardware problems or any codes for any individual components, except the hard drive. Specifically, it gave me the Failure ID "ucx77t-69j7ms-mfpx1f-60vp03". I tried looking that up but I couldn't find anything. I wonder what that failure ID is for. Fortunately, I have a recovery drive, and most of the information on the laptop is backed up, but I need to extract some recently created data from my hard drive before I lose it by running recovery manager. I tried to back up some files, but the recovery drive could not reach any files to back up. I've also tried taking out the drive and putting it in an external hard drive enclosure then connecting it to another laptop, but it's telling me that the drive is only 25 GB when it's a 500 GB drive, and I still can't reach any files from C: inside. Can you help me figure out how to back up those files? They're only about 10-15 GB altogether, and I can easily fit them on another laptop.

The failure id message means the hard drive has failed and will have to be replaced. The slowness and other problems were early warning signs of a failing hdd.If the drive can not be read using an external enclosure-not much hope. You might try one of the free tools to recover files-especially #2 which claims ability to recover lost partitions.Maybe it can see your C partition. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/filerecovery/tp/free-file-recovery-programs.htm

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.
