How to extract data from an encrypted hard drive

Ok so i have a powerbookG4 with a dead logic board and i'm trying to extract all the data that i have from my hard drive. so i took out the hard rive and put it in a USB 3.5 hard drive enclosure, i can access some of the hard drive but the important stuff that i want are all encrypted by filevault in a folder that i can't access.
i tried to boot from the hard drive but it won't work.
do you have any suggestions??? help please....

Double-click the FileVault image and provide the password associated with that Mac OS X user account when prompted. If you don't have that password, but do have the master password, place the drive in a FireWire enclosure, use it to start up the computer, and unlock the FileVault account from there. If you don't have either password, the data inside is unrecoverable without them.

  • Need to extract data from a bricked hard drive - Failure ID ucx77t-69j7ms-mfpx1f-60vp03

    Hi My laptop (HP Pavilion Sleekbook 14, purchased in October 2012)  had gone slow recently, and finally its hard drive developed problems. At one point, it was so slow that it took a few minutes to sign off my user, so I shut it down manually while it was logging off. That was when it got really bad. Specifically, I reached the "Repairing disk errors. This may take over an hour to complete" screen. I left it to run for almost a full day and it didn't work. So, I rebooted the laptop and checked its diagnostics boot menu. It ran diagnostics on the hard drive, and on the whole laptop. There were no hardware problems or any codes for any individual components, except the hard drive. Specifically, it gave me the  Failure ID "ucx77t-69j7ms-mfpx1f-60vp03". I tried looking that up but I couldn't find anything. I wonder what that failure ID is for. Fortunately, I have a recovery drive, and most of the information on the laptop is backed up, but I need to extract some recently created data from my hard drive before I lose it by running recovery manager. I tried to back up some files, but the recovery drive could not reach any files to back up. I've also tried taking out the drive and putting it in an external hard drive enclosure then connecting it to another laptop, but it's telling me that the drive is only 25 GB when it's a 500 GB drive, and I still can't reach any files from C: inside. Can you help me figure out how to back up those files? They're only about 10-15 GB altogether, and I can easily fit them on another laptop.

    The failure id message means the hard drive has failed and will have to be replaced. The slowness and other problems were early warning signs of a failing hdd.If the drive can not be read using an external enclosure-not much hope. You might try one of the free tools to recover files-especially #2 which claims ability to recover lost partitions.Maybe it can see your C partition. http://pcsupport.about.com/od/filerecovery/tp/free-file-recovery-programs.htm

  • Extracting data from a Windows hard drive

    My PC died and I bought a new iMac. I thought that turning my PC's internal hard drive into an external drive would ensure that all of my data would transfer. I set up the external hard drive and was able to get a few files; however, all of my music and photos are nowhere to be found. Is this simply because Windows XP was installed on the hard drive? Is there a way to extract this data and save it to my new iMac?

    DiskWarrior is the best there is to "fix" various types of directory and corruption problems. In most cases, if DW can't fix it, nothing can. Disk Utility is great at finding problems, but can't fix all of them. Every Mac user should have a copy of DW.
    Be sure to get DW on a CD, since that's what you boot from to fix the problem on your hard drive. You can download DW, but you have to burn it to a CD or put it on another bootable volume.

  • How to retrieve data from a removed hard drive????

    I had an iBook G3 12” when the logic board broke. I dismantled the computer and sold all the parts. I kept the hard drive hoping that I could retrieve the data. Is there a product that will connect the hard drive to a WINDOWS based computer and allow me to retrieve my files?
    The hard drive is a Toshiba 30gb.
    I believe that it is an Apple model #655-1019
    If you need any other model numbers or serial numbers let me know.
    I sure hope that there is a way to get the data. I have a lot of MP3’s and school data on that hard drive. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    If this is the only place where files are kept (that is, if you do not have backup copies), the situation is not without risk. If the files are really important, I would suggest that you get in touch with a company specialised in data retrieval.
    Connecting a hard drive to a PC is possible per se. You ought to be able to do this via a suitable external USB 2.0 case, for example. There are also various adapters without a case. Have a look at your local computer store.
    However, a PC running Windows is not capable of reading disks from a Mac, with a Mac file system, without special software. Something like TransMac or MacDrive could possibly be of help (study any system requirements and instructions carefully). A specialist might even use some kind of cloning utility prior to a normal file copying attempt.
    There may be other difficulties as well, including copy protection et cetera.
    The easiest way could be to buy a new Mac.

  • How to recover data from an external hard drive that has lost half of the data I was storing in it

    I am using a Lacie external hard drive to store my photos on. Every once in awhile it disappears from my screen. I have been able to bring it back by unplugging and re-plugging from the computer. Then I had to turn it off and on again. Finally, it lost about half the stored photos, and I couldn't recover them. Does anybody have any suggestions as to what I might do to fix this problem?
    I'm using an iMac with  iOS 10.6.8
    The hard drive has 1 TB capacity

  • I transferred data from my external hard drive to my restored Mac Book Pro via migration assistant and now my external hard drive in time capsule has red minus signs. How do I get rid of that without getting rid of any of my data?

    I used Migration Assistant to transfer my data from my external hard drive via Time Capsule to my restored Mac Book Pro. When I now go into Time Capsule I there are red minus signs in the corner of all the folders that are contained in my back up. How do I get rid of this and access my previous back-ups?

    Select the drive and Finder > Get info and at the bottom "ignore permissions on this volume"
    You can copy the files, but the ownership on the files still belongs to the other user account, once your done copying, then perform a #6 Reset Users Permissions and that will set all the ownership to that account.
    ..Step by Step to fix your Mac
    Another method is to copy the entire folder, then change it's permissions.

  • How to extract data from Chart History?

    Dear all, I have read a lot of posts, but still don't understand how to extract data from Chart history.
    Suppose you acquired 1024 points of data every time, then use "build array" to build an array, then send to intensity chart to show, then save the history into a .txt file,  but how to extact data from the file?
    How Labview store the data in the 2D history buffer?
    Anybody has any examples?

    The simplest would be to save the 2D array as a spreadsheet file, the read it back the same way.
    Maybe the attached simple example can give you some ideas (LabVIEW 7.1). Just run it. At any time, press "write to file". At any later time, you can read the save data into the second history chart.
    If you are worried about performance, it might be better to use binary files, but it will be a little more complicated. See how far you get.

    Hello Debadrita,
    Function Module BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 or BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL can help you.
    For BAPI BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL, the parameters are:
    1) PLANNINGBOOK - the name of your planning book
    2) DATA_VIEW - name of your data view
    3) KEY_FIGURE_SELECTION - list of key figures you want to read
    4)  SELECTION - selection parameters which describe the attributes of the data you want to read (e.g. the category or brand). This is basically a list of characteristics and characteristic values.
    BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAIL2 is very similar to BAPI_PBSRVAPS_GETDETAI but is only available from SCM 4.1 onwards.
    For the complete list of parameters, you can go to transaction SE37, enter the function module names above and check out the documentation.
    Please post again if you have questions.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to extract data from ODS to non-SAP system

    Hi,
    Can anybody tell me, step by step, how to extract data from ODS to a non-SAP system?
    Is it possible to do it without programming effort? And is there volume limits for this kind of extraction?
    The non-SAP system is an unix system.
    Thanks in advance
    Ella

    Ella,
    You can look at it from the concept of a BADI / Infospoke
    Extract the data from the ODS to a Flat file / RDBMS using an infospoke. I am not sure as to how the infospoke loads data into the RDBMS ( did it very long ago ) but then you can push it into an RDBMS and I am sure it will be system neutral.
    Hope this helps...

  • How to extract data from custom made Idoc that is not sent

    Hi experts,
    Could you please advise if there is a way how to extract data from custom made idoc (it collects a lot of data from different SAP tables)? Please note that this idoc is not sent as target system is not fully maintained.
    As by now, we would like to verify - what data is extracted now.
    Any help, would be appreciated!

    Hi,
    The fields that are given for each segment have their length given in EDSAPPL table. How you have to map is explained in below example.
    Suppose for segment1, EDSAPPL has 3 fields so below are entries
    SEGMENT          FIELDNAME           LENGTH
    SEGMENT1         FIELD1                   4
    SEGMENT1         FIELD2                   2
    SEGMENT1         FIELD3                   2
    Data in EDID4 would be as follows
    IDOC           SEGMENT                          APPLICATION DATA
    12345         SEGMENT1                        XYZ R Y
    When you are extracting data from these tables into your internal table, mapping has to be as follows:
    FIELD1 = APPLICATIONDATA+0(4)        to read first 4 characters of this field, because the first 4 characters in this field would belong to FIELD1
    Similarly,
    FIELD2 = APPLICATIONDATA+4(2).
    FIELD3 = APPLICATIONDATA+6(2).  
    FIELD1 would have XYZ, FIELD2 = R, FIELD3 = Y
    This would remain true in all cases. So all you need to do is identify which fields you want to extract, and simply code as above to extract the data from this table.
    Hope this was helpful in explaining how to derive the data.
