How can I get my data out of a crashed drive?

I need help. Crashed hard drive. How can I get the data out?

First have to define what a 'crashed drive' is, so we'll know how to respond.
If you boot to an installer DVD does Disk Utility see the drive? What does it tell you about the drive?
If the drive is showing up but not mounting it may be possible to repair it and get the data off yourself -
But if it isn't even showing up then you may need to take it to a recovery specialist to get the data off it. This is costly and not guaranteed to always work.
Did you replace the drive in the MBP and install a new OS on a new drive?
Or is it still in the MBP and you are trying to recover it from there?
One type of 'crash' is a head crash, usually caused by a impact or jarring to the drive while it is spinning which bounces the heads off the platters. This removes some of the magnetic media off the platters typically rendering it unrecoverable.
So first priority is tell us precisely where you are with this drive, what you see, what you have tried, what the symptoms are, and what you need to accomplish.

  • How can I get my data out of my broken Macbook Pro?

    My macbook pro was working weird for no reason at Friday, and it also cannot turn on at Saturday suddenly, I didn't have time to backup my laptop before it stop working. Is this a response of Apple to help me take my data out of my broken laptop? Even I am still covered by applecare, they told me I need pay for extra 99 dollars for backup my data to my external hard drive.

  • How Can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP in WebDynpro

    Hi,
    I hope u understand my query, How can we get the data from Non-SAP to SAP thru WebDynpro Programming.
    Help out with the steps for getting the data or procedure.
    Regards,
    Mutyapu

    You can expose the APIs in the Non-SAP backend as Web Services, and consume them in SAP by creating an Enterprise Proxy. Then these can be called just like normal class methods from Web Dynpro.

  • How can i get the data from database & add them as a link

    Hi,
    how can i get a data from a database(DB2) and that data will be having a file so i should make them as a link.i tried it in jsp .
    <%
    Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.app.DB2Driver");
    Class.forName("COM.ibm.db2.jdbc.net.DB2Driver");     
    response.setContentType("text/html");
    Connection conn = null;
    conn = DriverManager.getConnection("jdbc:db2:spintran");
    Statement stmt = conn.createStatement();
    stmt.executeQuery("set current schema tut");
    ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select * from tutorial");     
    %>
    Type Of the Category : &nbsp&nbsp&nbsp
    <%
         while (rs.next())
         String desc = rs.getString(1);     
         out.println(desc);
    %>
         <A HREF = "<%=desc%>"><%=desc%> </A>
         <%
         %>
    but it is not working.how can i link.
    thank you.

    what is desc? is it the file name ? whats the data type of desc in db? INFILE?
    if desc is just the name of the file, then make sure that such a file exists in the proper folder.only then the link works..
    that is, if desc is 'a.jpg' then a.jpg should be existing in the same folder as your html is.

  • How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

  • HT1414 i backed up tha data on my iphone before i unlocked and restored as "new." how can i get the data back onto my iphone?i backed up tha data on my iphone before i unlocked and restored as "new." how can i get the data back onto my iphone?

    Hi,
    I wanted to unlock my at&t iphone 3gs that i had for 3  years.  i was told to back up the data on my phone and then restore it as new.  now i don't have any data i had before it was restored. how can i get that data back onto my iphone 3gs?  can i put that data on my ipad?

    Is it an iTunes backup or an iCloud backup? If iTunes, connect the iPhone, right click on the name of the iPhone under the DEVICES section in iTunes. Click on Restore from Backup.
    If iCloud, on the iPhone go to Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings. When the device powers back on, you will see the original setup screens you saw when your iPhone was fresh out of the box. One of these screen asks you if you want to restore. Choose Restore from iCloud backup.

  • How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait?

    How can I get my iPhone out of landscape mode and back to portrait? Tilting the phone doesn't work.

    Try following - 1 by 1:-
    * make sure portrait lock is not on & try turning on/off several times
    * turn off mobile and turned it back on
    * hard reset by pressing lock and home at same time
    If problem persist, you need to try following but be careful since the following impact your iphone.
    * resetting all setting: this will reset all settings of your iphone back to factory setting
    * resetting all setting by erasing all data: this will reset all setting and erase all data so do back-up and proper syncing and read relevant details
    * restoring from itunes: this will also erase all data and take mobile back to day 1
    last 3 options are last resort and only be done if you are sure you can restore your data.
    Please don't hold me responsible for any data loss while doing last 3 options
    Cheers!

  • Can't get my data out of palm tungsten c- palm desktop crashes

    I have been a tungsten c user for many years. Now that HP has discontinued support, I would like to get my data out and transfer it to anothr device. I have backed up with hotsync on a daily basis. When I load palm desktop (PD), it crashes. I have 4 computers: a Dell 700 m with win xp, an optiplex with win xp, an optiplex with vista and a toshibal laptop with win7 64 bit. I have downloaded new copies of palm desktop 4.4, and tried the access version of 6 something. The desktop loads, waits 2 seconds, then I get the message .. has created an error and has to close. I checked, the MA file is there and seems to have the correct date. How do I get my data out if palm desktop will not start?
    PS I disabled antivirus during installation, uninstalled the old version and rebooted before trying to open the PD.
    Post relates to: Tungsten C

    >
    Well I went ahead and made separate methods to return each value. I suppose that will work just as well, especially since now I don't have to declare a bunch of strings and int's to hold the data and pass to the method.
    >
    Well this would never work anyway
    public void getData(String n, int num, String c, String d)None of those can be changed within the method. Strings are immutable and 'int' is passed by value. Each of those parameters will have the same value after the method exits as they did before it was called.
    Your book class should be using 'setters' to set the value of its instance variables.

  • My battery died and then when i charged the phone it is asking me to connect to itunes and restore. if i restore how can i get my data back

    My iphone battery died and on charging the phone it asked me to connect to itunes and restore the phone.
    If i restore the phone how can i get my data back and how can i check when i last backed up my phone

    If you have been syncing regularly as the iphone is designed, then you can sync the data back.
    Regardless you will have to restore the iphone.

  • I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.

    I lost my iPhone device, how can I get my data back on another one without using an iCloud backup just back up on i Tunes, Please Help.??

    You can find the backup files and then copy them to a safe place if you are worrying about this.
    iTunes places the backup files in these places:
    Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
    The "~" represents your Home folder. If you don't see Library in your Home folder, hold Option and click the Go menu.
    Windows Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8: \Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the AppData folder, click Start. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then press Return.
    Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
    To quickly access the Application Data folder, click Start, then choose Run. In the search bar, type %appdata%, then click OK.

    how can I get a date picker or wheel to show up in the form to make filling in a form with a lot of dates more easy?

    There is no built-in date picker available for forms created in Acrobat. There are some third-party solutions involving JavaScript (either a large collection of fields or a custom dialog) though. Also, text fields with date formatting will use a wheel type date picker on Android/iOS devices with Adobe Reader.

  • How can I get the best out of my battery life?

    There are a variety of things you can do to extend your device battery life, and use your phone for longer periods of time to see you through the day.
    Set your screen to timeout after a period of inactivity. This way your phone is not sitting idle with the screen backlight consuming extra energy. The recommended screen timeout is 30 seconds, but most phones will allow from 15 seconds to 10 minutes.
    Turn off location services (GPS), Wi-Fi and Bluetooth when not using these functions. When they're on, your phone constantly searches for your current location and open networks, which has a big impact on battery life.
    Turn down the screen brightness. For example, on an iPhone 4 the lowest brightness setting gives roughly 6.5 hours of continuous use, whereas the highest setting gives roughly 3.5 hours. You can always adjust the brightness when you're outside so you can still see your screen clearly. Some devices have an auto-brightness setting, where the phone adjusts the screen brightness depending on the light around it.
    Close your applications. On smartphones, returning to the ‘home' screen only minimises your apps – they keep running in the background. Closing your apps fully will save power; for example, on Samsung Galaxy devices hold down the home button for two seconds to see a list of all open apps. You can then swipe these to the left of the screen to exit them completely. On an Apple product, double press the home button to bring up all active applications and exit from there.

    Re: How can I get the best out of my battery life?
    Hi,
    When I make phone calls people on the other end have difficulty hearing me. They describe as they can hardly hear me as if I was speaking through the pillow etc). I am not touching any buttons and obviously it is not mute. This was happening couple of time in June, then every now and then. Recently it happened a few time in 2 weeks. I was trying to check if it was a reception issue but the place I spoke from is my office I make 70% of phone calls from. Can you book time for me in repair shop and address the issue.
    Thank you.

  • I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    I have a Mac Pro OS 10.7.5 and have a DVD+R disc with files on it, but it ejects the disk after about 10 seconds--what to do?  How can I get the data off this disc?  I can see it has been already burned, so files are on there?

    Try cleaning the lens and see if that will restore functionality to the DVD drive.  Use a DVD lens cleaning disk, if you have a can of compressed air, shoot some into the slot or wrap a fine microfiber cloth (eyeglasses cleaning cloth)  around a business card and insert it gently inside the slot.
    If no success, make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and get a free diagnosis from them.
    Ciao.
