How can I retrieve desktop files being erased after updating my computer?

The easiest method would be to restore them from the last Time Machine backup made just prior to the update.
Or use a file recovery application to recovery them. Most have a demo mode so you can determine if it can find the files you need before purchasing it. Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "recover files" to get a list of potential candidates.

Hello there,
It sounds like you have a video file you exported from iMovie that you would like to import back into the program. Depending on the version of iMovie the process is a bit different so choose the correct article for your version:
iMovie '11: Import video from movie files
http://support.apple.com/kb/ph2153
Or

How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone?

How can I retrieve my contacts and pictures after installing iOS6 on my iphone? Don't call me stupid! I was relying on iCloud to have backed all this up, but turns out it didn't work. Can anyone help me get my photos back - they were of my baby daughter. Also, I've lost all my contacts. Please help.

Unfortunately no. The only way the phone backs up is if you make it back up. You either connect to iTunes and backup and sync, or you set it up for a wifi sync to iCloud. But you have to setup iCloud to start with. You have learned a hard lesson on how to make sure you import pictures on a regular basis like you would the digital camera. When things happen to the phone, this is the media that is lost the most (pictures in camera roll). After taking a number of pictures, and especially ones you consider important, you should connect the phone to the computer and import them, so there is a backup copy on the computer.
Contacts are saved in the backup as well, however they are really designed to be synced to a supported application on the computer, or backed up to iCloud or other cloud service. And, the only way to go back in time on the phone is to restore from a backup, but you also have to remember, you would lose everything on the phone that you had done since that backup, so it is a double edged sword.

How can i retrieve xsl file by context-root

we have a project using weblogic server6.1,all things done smoothly,
          but,we met a big problem . we use xml and xsl export html,but the problem is

          to context-root,is there some method else work around this. thanks in
          advance.


In Repository, double click on XSL program.
It will show you the mapping program, Graphical & there is one option for Code also, you can check the code there.
Else if you have stylus studio, so export that program from repository & import into the stylus studio.
When you will check this in stylus studio, it will ask you sender structure & receiver structure, just give it XSD of sender & receiver structures. Here you can check the complete mapping in graphical as well as codiing.

Please help me, I mistakenly deleted a file. How can I retrieve my file?

PLease help me retrieve my file. I was rearranging some docs into sub-files and mistakenly deleted the main file, thinking the sub-files would still be there and they are all gone. Lots and lots of docs. PLEASE HELP ME,!!! The File name was "Cardis, Jackets, Ponchos& Tops Patterns. I was using the new Adobe Acrobat Reader.

I don't believe you can if the only copy is on your iPad.
You must make backups of files which you have on your mobile devices. Then restore from the backup. Backups could easily made by uploading them to Document Cloud, or backing up to another device.

How can I retrieve my files when my iMac won't boot?

My iMac won't boot up, which may be related to a recent update to Mavericks. I've tried repairing the disk from the DVD startup - it finds invalid volume file counts and says it's repaired them, but the same thing happens when I try to boot, the screen goes dark, the cursor is still visible and movable, but that's it. Foolishly, I didn't make a back-up so I'm now trying to retrieve some files at least. Using disk utility I've been able to copy everything to an external drive but I still can't get access to the files because it won't boot from there either, same old volume errors turn up when I try to repair it. Will I have to buy another mac just to access the files?

Assuming you are running OS X Mavericks (10.9.4), try booting into your Recovery HD by pressing/holding Command+R at startup. When you see the OS X Utilities Menu, plug in a USB external drive with an empty partition. Select Reinstall OS X from the menu and install Mavericks to you external drive. After the install is completed, your system should boot to your external drive to completed Setup. You might be able to use your internal iMac drive and Setup Assistant to bring over you User accounts and Apps to the external.

Scc question: how can I retrieve all files in 6.1?

hello
I have recently upgraded from LV5.1 to 6.1.. In 5.1
it was possible to retrieve all files of a project
with scc. When I try to do that in 6.1 (scc provider, select changed files, get latest version..) LV searches
always in the local work directory for the vi's, but they don't exist, so I have to press "cancel" all the
time.
Is there an easier way to retrieve all files of a project at once???
thanks

NI support has sent me this VI, replace the original
VI and it works..

How can I access the same table within AFTER UPDATE trigger? mutating

I'm trying to have processing done within a before or after update trigger.
reduced what I want to do down to a select within the trigger.
create or replace TRIGGER "AU_TABLE_A"
after update on "TABLE_A"
for each row
declare
l_res_status NUMBER:=0;
l_count NUMBER:=0;
begin
SELECT COUNT(*) INTO l_count
FROM TABLE_A
WHERE ID = :NEW.ID AND STATUS_ID = 9;
end;
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1,
     ORA-04091: table TABLE_A is mutating, trigger/function may not see it
     ORA-06512: at "BHRS.BU_MR_RES_APPR", line 13
     ORA-04088: error during execution of trigger 'BHRS.BU_MR_RES_APPR',
     update TABLE_A set "ID" = :b1, "STATUS_ID" = :b2, "COMMENTS" = :b3
     where "ID" = :p_pk_col
IS THERE A WAY AROUND IT?
Thank you, Bill

The very common approach to workaround mutating table problem is passing the table state through the package variables. I.e. - you create a package with one global variable ( say l_count). Then you need
1) a trigger before update for statement - here you counts your rows and set the package variable accordingly.
2) a trigger after update for each row - here you read the rowcount from a package variable and do your actual work
3) a trigger after update for statement - here you reset your package variable.
This approach uses the fact, that mutating table problem occurs only with triggers for each row and the order of execution of different trigger types.
However, counting records in every update statement (whereas not so worse although as doing this for each row within an update) may consume a lot of resources, so, possibly , you can rethink your business needs/approach.

I use audio memos and files are saved in icloud. while updating audio memo the apps stop working. i cannot access the apps. how can i retrieve the files saved in icloud ?

I can't access the audio memo apps but i can see under usage - manage storage that all the files are located in icloud. how to extract .wav files from icloud if the apps is no longer responding to fileshare in itunes? Thanks.

yes it was solved some time ago. i cant remember exactly but i think i disconnected from the internet and tried accessing the audio apps (or maybe i had accessed the apps first then only turned off internet i cant remember) thereafter the files were in my local apps and then I turned off use icloud. i suggest you backup your ipad on itunes before trying anything. All the best - hope you solve your problem.

How can I unfreeze a file being dragged?

Problem
On my Mac Mini, the operation to drag a pdf file from the downloads folder to the desktop has frozen. Nothing I do, can delete the file, interrupt the process or arrest the spinning progress wheel.
Other Symptoms
The rest of the system (OSX 10.7.3) has become sluggish and Paralles 7 / Windows 7 won't open. Some preferences in Mail (from whiuch the pdf origintaed) have become corrupted or lost.
Now, Finder wont reveal certain document sub-folders which were connected with the 'dragging' operation, but shows them empty even though I have since moved files into them.
Solutions Tried so Far
I've run Cocktail (including repair permissions), rebooted several times and re-started in safe mode.
Proposed Solutions
Re-Install the OS
Re-Format and rebuild all programmes, apps and files from uncoruupted back-ups
Before embarking on this fairly heavy process I'd value any more informed suggestions please.
Many thanks.

For the record and in the hope it may help others with a similar snag, this is the questoner posting the solution I've finally worked out. As is so often the case, it was simple to solve and I am very red-faced that I didn't think of it sooner!
Force quit all the apps AND relaunch Finder. Viola! The errant file that refused to be dragged to a new location did make it to the new destination, the wretched revolving progress wheel and dialogue box disappeared and everything works fine once again!
Thanks to all that looked in...

How can I unblock a file being downloaded?

When I try to download files such as skype from the internet when I click save file as instructed, it blocks the download, if it does download it I can't click it in my documents to open and run the file. How do I unblock these downloads and allow them.
== This happened ==
Just once or twice
== I tried downloading skype.

It is possible that your anti-virus software is corrupting the downloaded files or otherwise interfering with downloading files by Firefox.
You can try to disable the real-time (live) scanning of files in your anti-virus software temporarily to see if that makes downloading work.
Do not forget to re-enable the scanning in your anti-virus software after you are finished with downloading and installing.

How can I stop midi files being played by the QT plugin in IE6?

Hi
Since reloading XP and QT 7.5 Pro, I have a problem I did not have before. In Explorer, my .mid midi files are associated with my preferred Karaoke player.
However, when I click on a .mid link on a web page in IE6, it uses the QT plugin to play it, rather than my preferred player. I have check my QT preferences file types, and midi files are definately NOT associated.
Firefox did the same, so I simply disabled the plugin, clicked a .mid link, and Firefox then asked me to choose a player. However, if I disable the plugin in IE6, when I click a .mid link, I just get a blank page and a baloon warning me the page is trying to use a disabled plug in. My only option at this point is to quit or re-enable the plugin.
Can anybody please help?
Thanks.
Message was edited by: alan_dr

In case anyone is interested, I managed to solve this. Basically I disabled the QT plugin, went into Windows media player and assigned midi files to it. Then I went into Explorer and switched the files back to use my Karaoke player. THen I unassigned midi in Media player and reenabled the QT plugin. Bingo!

How can I retrieve my most recent tabs after I close Firefox?

This is not a new problem for me - it has been going on for months and months, and I have wasted countless hours looking for a solution - so I decided to post a question on the forum, and hope for the best.
The Problem: Whenever I close Firefox, it loses my most recent tabs, and there is NO way to get them back.
Here's what I have tried:
1. I set Firefox to automatically resume my previous session at startup. ( I did this a long time ago, and have not changed it since. ) When I restart Firefox ( without modifying the sessionstore.js file first ), I get an old session with all 5 of my tab groups present, but with two of them empty.
2. Before restarting, I right-click on sessionstore.js, select Properties, click on the Previous Versions tab, click the latest Restore point, and apply. ( The latest restore point is always at least a week old. ) Now, sessionstore.js shows a size > 1000 KB. When I restart, I get the "embarassing" screen. Clicking Restore gives me exactly what was promised - the set of tab groups that I had over a week ago. This is the best I can do. It does NOT have my LATEST tabs.
3. Before closing Firefox, I copy the sessionstore.js file from my Profile folder, and save it in a seperate folder on my desktop. ( This should contain any new tabs I just opened today, no? ) Then I close Firefox. Before restarting, I copy & paste the copy of sessionstore.js that I just saved into my Profile folder. When I restart, I get exactly the same results as in #2. The tabs I just opened today are gone.
4. When I searched Mozilla support, I came across this page: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-do-i-restore-my-tabs-last-time?esab=a&as=aaq . It said "Note: In order to get your tabs and windows back from the previous session, you should close Firefox from the menu:
At the top of the Firefox window, click on the Firefox button and then select Exit." When I close Firefox in this manner, it makes absolutely no difference - the results are the same.
5. A page in Mozilla support also suggested using the plugin Session Manager. I tried this, and all it does is make it easier to go through steps #2 or #3 - the results on restarting are the same.
6. I tried writing a "Bug" to submit to the Mozilla developers, but it's way over my head!
I can't believe that this is the way things are supposed to happen. Surely other people are having the same problem!

Thanks jscher 2000. I guess I didn't make it clear. "It restarts with all the addons activated, and resumes with the tabs that were open before closing it." IE, it's running fine now with all the extensions activated. Everything is OK now.
So something in the Firefox code was causing the bad behavior. It's not essential that I find out what the problem was - I'm just curious. And if anybody else has this same problem, it might be nice to have it corrected at the source.

I download confidential info & save to a secured flash drive; how can I delete the file from "downloads" after that?

I am a mental health professional. My supervisor emails me confidential information as Word documents, which I download using Firefox. When the download is complete, I open the document and save it to my secured flash drive. I would like to then delete the file from my computer, so the flash drive has the only copy, to protect my clients' privacy. The only directions I can find are for deleting the entry from the downloads list, but not the file itself.

There is technology known as RMS which you could set series of policies like only members in the company could access certain documents and if someone copy them and attempt to run them in another PC or outside company, it won't work. Take a look at:
