How do you recover files on a USB drive?

I used Disk drill to find missing files on my USB, but don't want to pay $89 dollars to recover them.  Othe free programs don't even find the files.  Is there a trick to recovering them using the iMac?

  • How do you recover files that were put in the trash before you emptied your trash?

    Before realizing that I had saved my research paper under downloads rather than documents, I put all my downloaded files in the trash and emptied my trash. How can I recover this file? I appreciate all the help I can get! I have spent the last five hours editing this paper :/

    Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the file is recovered or you choose not to recover it.

  • How do you view file on an external drive using Unix?

    Hi Folks,
    I'm a serious UNIX newbie...Basically I took up unix in order to use a specific image processing software package... I've learned enough to write a script to batch process all of my images, but I have so many that I would like to use an external (USB) drive to hold the data and point the script towards those files.
    Is there any way to navigate to an external drive in UNIX?
    I see a lot about "mounting" drives, but I have no idea how to do this... I really need someone to hold my hand!
    Thanks.
    -Brent.

    PS:
    here is an example of mounting a network drive if you have to go across the network and actually have the external drive mounted, as opposed to just copying to/from (which would probably be the case coz' things like "scp" are going to ask you for a password):
    mount -t smb server.work.com:/vol/vol0/Projects /Projects
    -t is keyword for type of of filesystem and smb is the actual type.
    server.work.com:/vol/vol0/Projects is path to actual directory on external networked drive. The trailing "/Projects" is the mount point and name on your computer.
    Visit the "man" pages for mount in Terminal for more info, at prompt, type
    man mount
    You won't have to bother with this with a locally mounted (i.e., on the same computer that you are working on) firewire or USB drive. The local path is just
    /Volumes/{NameOfExternalFirewireOrUSBdrive}/{filepath}

  • How to import m4a files in a USB drive and play them using iTune?

    I have set the target directory of iTune to that USB drive, iTune just does not play them.  The length of the playing is awful long.  But in reality , they are merely 1min long reading when I listen to them using Window Media Player.

    CS4 is much older than Windows 8. CS4 is meant to work on XP or Vista. Getting it to run on Windows 7 was a bit of an issue, so I'm pleasantly surprised to hear that you have CS4 running on Windows 8 at all.
    It's also possible that a new camera records in a codec that such an old version of AE doesn't understand.
    Make sure you're running the latest update to your version of AE. You're on version 9, so make sure you've run the Adobe After Effects CS4 9.0.3 Update (I would not suggest updating in the middle of a project though, as any changes might break AE). I would like to reiterate: you're running a version that was released six years ago on an operating system that was released much more recently. So, be careful how you tread. However, if you're not running 9.0.3, you're missing some bug fix updates that might solve your problem.
    I would suggest upgrading to a newer version of AE.
    That being said, as Dave mentions, CS4 and earlier had lots of trouble with MPEG-4 and other codecs that used interframe compression. Can you open the files in your version of Premiere? If so, you can use Premiere or the Adobe Media Encoder to convert to a proper intermediate codec. MOV is just a container format. QuickTime with the PNG codec will work in After Effects CS4 with no problems as will the other codecs Dave mentions.

  • How do I recover files off my damaged drive?

    My hard drive running windows crashed and there are some important files I want to get off. I pulled the hard drive out and put it in an external case and tried mounting it, but it does not appear in "my computer" I looked on google and found "PC Inspector File Recovery" Software that says it can recover it even if there is no letter mounted in "my computer" I cannot find the drive on there either. Does anyone know any strategy for recovering my files?
    Thanks in advance,
    Caleb

    Mac OS can read NTFS so no matter what version you should be able to read files.
    I would put it back, then boot from Windows DVD and try repair/recovery, Vista does a good job if possible. It will probably want to boot into Safe Mode if you try to boot from it.
    Does Windows share same drive as Mac OS? Running Vista? 7?
    BEFORE a system or drive goes south is when you want to image it, WinClone 2.2 runs in Mac OS; or there are imaging programs or Vista's built in backup.

  • When/how do you move files off of Hard Drive to make new room.

    Maybe this is simple; I understand so far that you can choose the Library folder for iTunes and that that is the source of all songs, album cover art, everything that iTunes needs to display all the information for tunes. Please correct me if I am wrong on that.
    When the directory fills up to the point that it is taking over your startup drive, then the iTunes library folder can be moved to an external backup drive and iTunes can start up fresh, empty, and ready to receive new songs. Also, Please correct me if that is not correct.
    How many songs do you contain in iTunes before you consider it is too unwieldy and time to start fresh?
    I've never done this before, new first-time iPod user here, and would like some pointers on how to handle this.
    Thanks In Advance,
    Ken

    When the directory fills up to the point that it is taking over your startup drive, then the iTunes library folder can be moved to an external backup drive and iTunes can start up fresh, empty, and ready to receive new songs.
    You can move it but you do not need to "start fresh".
    Just move the folder to the external drive and use it for everything.
    No need to use the internal drive.
    1 Quit iTunes.
    2 Move the entire iTunes folder including music to the external drive.
    3 Restart iTunes holding (Shift-Windows, Option-Mac).
    4 Select Choose library. Select the library in the folder you just moved.
    5 Move the old iTunes folder to the trash but do not empty it.
    6 Restart iTunes normally and verify the songs work. If they do, empty the trash.
    How many songs do you contain in iTunes before you consider it is too unwieldy and time to start fresh?
    Over 100,000 songs and it will start to slow down.

  • How do you recover a deleted file in Notes?

    How do you recover a deleted note in Notes?

    You can recover to an iCloud or iTunes backup that contains the note. With no backup you are out of luck.

  • How can I recover files on USB that time machine has erased?

    While transferring pictures from my girlfriend's MacBook to my USB drive, I received a warning message when I ejected the device, saying that Time Machine had not finished backing up. Apparently my girlfriend had enabled Time Machine to back up her system every x minutes when it detects an external device. When I checked my USB on my laptop, it was empty. All the pictures and some files of mine that I did not back up were seemingly erased. Is there any way to rcover these files? I am particularly interested in a few word documents of mine. Any suggestions are much appreciated.

    If you delete files from your internal hard drive and don't save a copy of them other then in a Time Machine backup you will eventually lose that data. As you have found out. Time Machine is NOT for archiving files. It is a program to svae what is currently on your internal drive to another so it can be restored at a later date. Once you delete files from your internal drive TM will no longer back them up and then delete old backups where those file may be. This is totally normal for any program like TM, IE a Back Up and Restore Program. It is up to the user to SAVE a copy of files they want to keep on some other media before they delete them from an internal drive. If you had never deleted those files TM would still be backing them up.

  • How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

    How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
    The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine.  iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so.  Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost.  The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there.  There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch.  How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore?  HELP...

    Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
    You can restore from an existing backup

  • Satellite L40: How do I recover files from Hard Drive

    Hi
    Can anyone help me please. About one week ago I started experiencing a clicking sound coming from my Satellite L40 laptop. My laptop froze and when I restarted it, I was directed to the system setup with a message at the bottom saying
    "Pri Master Hard Drive Disk SMART status bad, Backup and replace.
    Press F2 to presume."
    I have pressed F2 but I haven't a clue what to do?
    Can anyone tell me how to backup my files before my hard drive has completly gone or if it has gone can I use another device to get them off.
    I have tried to use the recovery disk but the disk is not responding??
    Please help
    Pete

    Hi
    This messages looks like an warning notification from the S.M.A.R.T.
    It does mean that your HDD will eventually fail.
    It could happen next days or it may not happen for a few months but the SMART capability has detected that the drive is going bad so it should be replaced as soon as possible.
    It looks like your notebook is not very old so the warranty should cover all replacements.
    I see only one way to access and backup the data. Possibly you could buy an external USB SATA HDD enclosure and could connect the HDD to another computer.
    Im not sure if you will be able to access the HDD due to the malfunction but if you want you could try this.
    Good luck

  • I have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk?

    i have deleted my private folder and do not have enough space to reinstall my operating system. How can i transfer files from my hard drive to an USB drive to free up space when the operating system isn't working. or do i need to erase disk through disk utilities without erasing data (but will it delete my programs such as photoshop, office, creative suite?

    Connect the computer to another Mac and put it in FireWire Target Disk mode, or use the Disk Utility to clone the drive or image specific folders with the USB drive as the target. After you've copied off everything you want, you'll likely need to erase the drive and reinstall the applications.

  • I'm new to apple after years of MS OS! How do I transfer files from my USB memory stick to another USB memory stick? cheers

    hi all, i've just switched to apple after many years using MS OS!  I'm now using iMac desktop 21.5" with 2.9GHz processor and latest Yosemite software.
    How do I transfer files from one USB memory stick to another USB memory stick on the iMac?  cheers, linley94

    Plug in the memory stick and it should open then create a New Folder and drag and drop the contents from the memory stick to the new folder you created. Remove the original memory stick all the information should be in the new folder you created. Now plug in the new memory stick with nothing on it when it opens drag the folder with the contents from the original memory stick folder and all into the new memory stick that opened and there you have it.

  • Hi how do i save files to a usb flash drive in windows 8 rt

    Hi how do i save a pdf file to a usb drive i have a tablet with windows 8 RT myfiles are in Adobe

    Adobe Reader Touch does not support Save or Save As yet.  But we are working on adding the support in a future release.
    How did you get PDF files "in Adobe"? 
    If you already have the PDF files on your device, you can simply use Microsoft File Explorer on the Windows 8 desktop to copy them to your USB flash drive.
    If you tap/click on the link to a PDF file in Microsoft Internet Explorer (Windows Store app, i.e. Metro version), IE will prompt you to "Open" or "Save".  After you choose the Save option, you can specify your USB flash drive as destination.
