How do you save my files from the recovery HD.

My Macbook keeps processing, so I went to the recovery hd amd mac os x utilitiles.  from this point i am trying save my files so i can erase disk using disk utility.  any ideas.

If you have an external hard drive, you can use the Restore tab in Disk Utility to copy the contents of one disk to another.  Note that this will erase the destination drive, and may very well fail.  You could also use the command line in the Terminal from recovery mode and copy files that way, but that requires knowledge of how to use Unix filesystem commands.  You could also try connecting the Mac to another Mac via Firewire target disk mode and copy the data that way.
Alternately, if your Mac won't start up, you could try just repairing the hard drive with Disk Utility and then installing Mac OS X on top of your existing system.  That will replace all the system files but leave your files and apps alone.  (Of course, things can go wrong in cases like this, so making some kind of backups would be a good idea.)

  • How do you transfer video files from the iPad to a separate device?

    How do I transfer video files from my iPad Air to a separate device or storage device so that I free up memory on my iPad

    You can directly transfer photos and videos via WiFi between the iDevices, PCs, and Macs with an App like Photo Transfer.
    See: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-transfer-app-easily/id365152940?mt=8
    Or you can upload the photos and videos to the Dropbox service using the Dropbox App on the iDevice, PC, or Mac and download them to the another device using the Dropbox App on that device. By the way, once the videos are on Dropbox you can share them with others.

  • Can/How do you save excel files to the cloud?

    How, if at all, can you save excel files to icloud?

    I think you need to upgrade your MacOS.  Mine is running MacOS X 10.8.4. 
    I am running Numbers '09 v2.3.
    Need to sign on to iCloud under Mac Preference Settings.
    When I start Numbers, I can view files stored on iCloud, or locally on the Mac harddisk.
    Hope it helps.

  • How do you send a File from the Clinent End To the Server?

    Hi, I'm jut learing Java and am tring to send a file from the Cleints end to the Servers' end, I know how to do this in Php, but its some what different in Java, i know where is a File Class which i can post the information into but for some reason it woudn't work
    <%@ page import=" javax.servlet.*, java.io.File" %>
    <%
    String fullname, emailadds, genre, filename;
    fullname = request.getParameter("Name");
    emailadds = request.getParameter("email");
    genre = request.getParameter("genre");
    filename = request.getParameter("clip");
    File file = new File();
    file.isFile();
    if (file.isFile())
    out.print("File is true");
    else
    out.print("file ain't there");
    %>
    just as a tester i tried this to see if file is being read, but it won't compile
    I keep getting this error sign! Have i missed out a lib or somthing?
    \upload_jsp.java:52: cannot find symbol
    symbol : constructor File()
    location: class java.io.File
    File file = new File();

    Sham, dont show your anger... and dont use provocative words...
    Now, coming to your problems.
    your jsp/html should contain some thing like
    <form action="/uploadServlet" method="post">
    <input type="file" name="file"/>
    <input type ="submit" value="upload"/>
    </form>and for servlet code, refer to
    http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=516176&messageID=2461686
    or the easiest way would be to use 'commons-fileupload' api available on http://jakarta.apache.org/commons/

  • How do you save a picture from email to the iPhoto?

    How do you save a picture from email to the iPhoto?

    Click and hold on the Save button, and a menu appears, listing each attached file’s name along with a Save As button. Select any individual file, and you’ll save just that attachment to disk. But the really nice feature is the final menu item—Add to iPhoto. That’s right; with one button click-and-hold, you can add all of a message’s attached images to iPhoto.

    Hello Anybody, I have a question. Can any of you please suggest me how to make an xml file from the database table with all the records?

    The Oracle documentation has a good overview of the options available

    Without knowing your version, I just picked 11.2, so you made need to look for that chapter in the documentation for your version to find applicable information.

  • We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube?

    We are evaluating the use of iPod touch devices to record best practice videos on our manufacturing floor and to post to an internal Moodle web site. How can you upload a video from the iPod touch to a site other than YouTube? The Moodle upload interface is expecting a file selection dialog box like windows or OSX. I do not want to have to go through an intermediary step of messing with a pc.
    Thanks!

    It should be around 7 and a half gigs. In iTunes, across the bottom there should be a bar that show how much storage is being used and by what. (music, movies, apps, etc.) To make music take up less room, you can check the box to make it convert the music to 128kbps AAC. This lowers the quality, but with most earbuds and speakers, you can't even tell the difference.
    The iPod touch has parental controls built in. You'll find them in Settings. I think they only work for enabling/disabling Safari, Mail, YouTube, and App Store. Here's an app that does more: http://www.mobicip.com/online_safety/ipod_touch

  • How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?

    How do I move music files from the startup disc to iTunes in the other internal hard disk os 10.5.8?
    The music I want to move was in iTunes but is now just files. I had to reinstall a new iTunes and lost all my old music.
    Thank you!

    That article is about using your iPod as an external hard drive, to move files from one computer to another computer.  It is not related to your question.
    You can't use iTunes to move song files from iPod to computer, except for songs you purchased from the iTunes Store (and you can also re-download purchases).  However, there are third-party methods and utilities that can move song files from iPod to computer.  If you do a Google search on something like "ipod transfer," you should get some links.
    Once the song files are on your current computer, add them to that computer's iTunes library by dragging the files (or folder containing the files) to the iTunes window.  After confirming everything is there (and fixing the data issue you mentioned) you can sync the iPod.  You may want to do a Restore on the iPod, if it might have a data corruption issue, which will erase the iPod's hard drive, re-install the latest software, and set it to defautl settings.

  • HT1386 How do you sync your itunes from the Iphone to the macbook pro?

    How do you sync your itunes from the iphone to the macbook pro? 
    Let's say, I have an Iphone 3GS and it was synced to my older pc (I know...) and it crashed and I can't retrieve my files on there.  I want everything that I have on my 3Gs: photos, videos, music, notes, voice recordings, etc...  Now, I recently upgraded to 4Gs.  I can sync almost everything via icloud but there are files like photos, videos, other music that I cannot sync or for some weird reason it won't work over the cloud.  So I want to move all of those information to my macbook pro (upgraded from pc... yes!).  How do I move everything in my iphone backed up to my itunes in my mac book so that I can sync it to my new 4Gs? 

    I have a 3GS IPhone and have not been able to find Cloud on it anywhere (I was instructed to go to Settings, General, etc). I have also been told I should download update from I Tunes and have not been successful doing that either. I know my I Pad has the Cloud and I am wanting to sync the calendar from the phone to the pad. Any suggestions?
