How do I recover a lost partition on my mac

When I used Disk Utility it showed my mac hard drive, and another what I assumed was a partition named Apple (something or other) as you can see I am not very savvy.  I eventually realized that this partition was now under a different name and shown under the section that shows the mounted external drives.  It was now called Greys Anatomy so6 e16.  Once I realized that it was the missing partition I tried to re name it, and could not, so then I tried to move it back to the place it had originated from using a "how to" video on you tube. now I have lost the thing altogether any one help an old guy who is quite lost and can not afford to go to the computer shop

This is all the information I know how to collect iMac 27inch late 2009, processor 3.06GHz intel core Duo,
Memory, 8GB 1067 MHz DDr3,graphics ATi Radeon HD4670 256Mb.
you said in your reply that there was an article that explains how it is done, but I can see no reference to an article.
Thank you for taking the time to help me it is most appreciated

  • How do I recover a "lost" font in Pages?  The font file appears to exist in my MS Office area.

    How do I recover a lost font in pages?  The font management process seems very opaque, lots of areas on the hard drive with font folders.  None seems to match the list of fonts I can pull down from the font menu in Pages.  At the moment, the font I need is Century Gothic, which does reside in the MS Office area, but nowhere else that I can find.  Would greatly appreciate help!
    thanks much,  Eilert

    Thanks for the idea, fruhulda.  I just checked (Jul 18) and the "missing" font is there.  However, yesterday I tried a full restart of my computer, and it seemed to fix (?) the problem, so I still am not sure what happened.  At any rate, the problem is now gone.

  • I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.
    Regards.

  • I resently upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard, but the information in my address book did not transfer.  How can I recover the lost information?

    I upgraded to Snow Loepard OS.  But not all the information in the address book was transfered.  How can I recover the lost information from my old address book?

    No I did not make a copy of my address book. 
    Some information was moved over, many did not.
    I do not see a pattern.
    I think all the info is still on the hard drive, I just don't know how to recover it.

    As long as you enabled it when you first activated your Iphone, it's pretty straightforward.  Using any computer, go to icloud.com.  Sign in with your Apple ID. A screen will come up with a map showing the general location of your phone.  If you have a friend with an iphone and are logged in using Safari, when you get close, you can tell your iphone to make a sound.  Good luck.

  • How can I recover my lost iPhone4 passcode?

    How can I recover my lost iPhone4 passcode?

    If you mean you lost the passcode for your iPhone, you cannot recover it.  You can reset it by attaching the iPhone to your computer with iTunes and restore the iPhone from the most recent backup.  That removes the passcode.
    If iTunes does not recognize the iPhone or let you restore, attach in recovery mode by starting iTunes, connect the USB end of the cable then while holding the home button on the iPhone connect the dock connector end of the cable.  iTunes should then ask if you want to restore.

  • How do I recover a lost folder?

    How do I recover a lost folder on my MackBook Pro, (2011, Yosemete 10.10.2) ?  I was cleaning up a folder when suddenly it was gone!  "Finder" can not find it.  It is not in Trash.  It is gone!  Help Please!!!

    You can restore a JSON backup in Firefox if you have such a backup.<br />
    * Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Restore > Choose File
    Restoring a JSON will however replace all the current bookmarks.<br />
    If you have any that you want to preserve then you need to export the bookmarks to an HTML file and re-import that HTML backup after you have restored the JSON backup.<br />
    Make sure that a JSON backup has .json file extension and that an HTML backup has a .html fle extension to avoid problems (nothing happens or you get an error like can't process the backup file).

    I had 1235 songs on my iPad 3 I subscribed to iTunes Match and it deleted all of my songs except for 79 that I had purchased from iTunes Store. How can I recover my lost songs???

    Hi,
    If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?
