How to fix corrupted backup then proceed with restore? Or extract app databases from corrupted backup?

Deeply let down by Backup restore :-(
iPhone 3GS with iOS5.1 (the latest) started to behave abnormally. Made a full restore of iOS then tried to restore from backup only to discover message that my backup is corrupt or not compatible. Contacts were restored more or less OK but all applications data including personal financials (PocketMoney records) were lost.
Tried 2 times to run restore from backup but without success :-( Is there any chance to fix so-called corrupted backup file or at least to retrieve my app databases out of there?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not that I've heard of. You can extract some of your data from a backup using iPhone Backup Extractor, but I'm not sure that includes app data (you could try contacting them to find out). And even if you could, I don't know how you would sync it back to your phone.

How do I restore an in-app purchase from a backup?

I purchased and downloaded a number of issues of Popular Science magazine. These would have been backed up over the cloud.
I subsequently deleted some of these from my iPad to free up space.
Since then, the Popular Science app has been removed from the Australian App Store.
Am I able to restore individual in-app purchases from a backup? And, if so, how do I do this?
If not, what's the impact of restoring a full backup from, say, 12 months ago? Does this mean I've lost all app data in the period since? I'm thinking that this option would not be practical and am hoping that I can pick and choose from a backup a la Time Machine on OS X.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

It works the same way as a credit card so on the back you have your security code. You type in the card number and then you give it your security code. You should be able to purchase what ever you need.

How can I restore 3rd party app data from my backup in the cloud

First a brief history. I use the iCloud to backup my iPad 2 and hardly ever synch it to itunes on my computer. I got the new iPad and restored the backup of my iPad 2 onto it. All was fine except that an issue I had on my iPad 2's Safari had transferred over to my new iPad. That's is for another discussion. Anyhow I went to the genius bar and they said to just setup my new iPad as a new device and then manually install everything back on it. Stuff like mail, contacts, etc, would be reloaded from the cloud. So I did and I noticed that one of my 3rd party apps, MadPad, had none of my saved data. Does anyone know of a way to restore 3rd party app data from the iCloud? Is there some sort of utility out there that would do this? I don't want to restore it from my previous iPad 2 backup because it will reintroduce the Safari problem back onto my new iPad.
Thanks!

Assuming that you even have a backup with the data in it, you have no choice but to use a backup in order to restore that data. That is the idea behind backing up to iCloud. If that is the only backup that you have - then that is the one that you have to use.
But if the backup is bad - or had corrupt data - then you will end up with the corrupt data again. You cannot selectively restore app data from a backup. you restore all settings and data - or nothing at all.

Unable to restore and recover my Database from RMAN Backup

Dear All,
Iam practicing RMAN in Windows environment.
My configurations are
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION ON; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP ON; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 'F:\Backup\%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION FOR DATABASE OFF; # default
CONFIGURE ENCRYPTION ALGORITHM 'AES128'; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'E:\ORACLE\DATABASE\SNCFORCL.ORA';
CONFIGURE CHANNEL DEVICE TYPE DISK FORMAT 'F:\Backup\%U.bak';
Then i took the RMAN backup, now iam shutdown my DB and removed one logfile..
then i tried to startup the DB but it is saying
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 3 of thread 1
ORA-00312: online log 3 thread 1: 'E:\ORADATA\ORCL\REDO03.LOG'
So i tried to restore the Database with my rman backup
RMAN> restore database;
But i am unable to restore my logfile in the Datafiles location where as all other datafiles are restored but redo logfiles are not restored.
So, i am unable to recover my DB
Please tell me whether i am doing any mistake, what is the solution for my problem.
Thanks in advance
Mahi

All you restored was your datafiles.
Now issue recover database and that will apply the archive logs.
This is in the oracle documentation.
"You must restore backups of these archived logs for recovery to proceed. You can restore either to the default or nondefault location. If you do not have backups, then you must performing incomplete recovery up to an SCN before the first missing redo log and open RESETLOGS."
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/B28359_01/backup.111/b28270/osrecvry.htm
In this case after issuing restore database in RMAN, then issue this.
"Recover database"
It will then be an incomplete recovery. They should have been multiplexed. Did you restore your controlfile with this backup? You may have to issue an "Alter database open resetlogs;"

FaceTime bright highlights are overexposed. How to fix this on my iMac with Lion.?

FaceTime bright highlights are blown out, overexposed. How to fix this on my iMac with Lion?

If restarting doesn't fix, use the relevant suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight. If nothing else there works, the repair by an Apple-Authorized Service Provider suggested there and by spudnuty will get it sorted.
(Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD." Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)

Can a Button call a java script and then proceed with the creation

Hi all,
I have a simple APEX form on a table,
with simple function as create and apply changes,
some items of the form are computed by a "Computation"
I need the create button to show the computed values, before move to the next page, then proceed with the creation ( submission)
I have tried to show the values by a java script, but after clicking the button OK of the javascript msg, no submission performed ,
details:
the java script is called in the URL of the Button,
it only contains a alert statement
is there a way to let the button do that
or may be the case could be solved by another idea!!!
rgrds,

Hi Varad,
It is Before header of course. I forgot to mention this.
Yes, you are right Varad, I have read again the question and seems original request was to show Computation that is done in After Submit, more javascript is required of course.
One possibility is to create On Demand process called COMPUTEITEM where you compute your item, and in the end of on demand process it prints it
htp.p(:P1_X)
Then put in HTML header of your page
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function setShowItemSub(pThis){
   var l_This   = $x(pThis);
   var ajaxRequest = new htmldb_Get(null, $v('pFlowId'), 'APPLICATION_PROCESS=COMPUTEITEM', $v('pFlowStepId'));
   ajaxRequest.add($x(l_This).id, $v(l_This));
   var gReturn = ajaxRequest.get();
   alert(gReturn);
   ajaxRequest = null;
doSubmit('aa');
</script>And in Button URL textarea put:
javascript:setShowItemSub('P1_X');
Then no need in After Submit process anymore
I have put this now in http://apex6.revion.com/pls/apex/f?p=225:1
COMPUTEITEM On demand process is :
:P1_X := :P1_X || ' Added this trail';
htp.p(:P1_X);Of course, all this should be modified accordingly

Hi, i wanted to resize my windows partion. I was thinking of using the default backup system for windows. Then switching to mac partion, deleting the bootcamp and then restoring a new enlarged partion from the backup. Is this possible?

I see youhave gotten recommendatons for using WinClone or CampTune. I have used both and they both work well.
You have asked about using the WIndows 7 utility to backup your drive and restor it onto a larger partition. I will tell you fro experience that this will probably not do what you want, and may do something that you don't want. You can use the Windows 7 native backup tool to make a backup of your Windows 7 partition. It will most liekly end-up making a dive image of the whole drive. When yourestore that backup, it will try to re-create teh partitions of exactly the same size as they were when the backup was taken, so it won't increase your partition size for you. Worse, since Windows doesn't natively know how to read./write HFS+ volumes, the backup will make a partition for your MacOS (replacing any you may have now), except that the copy restored by WIndows will be totally worthless, and you will not be able to boot MacOS from it, or even read it under MacOS.
Now I will tell you that I've also had some fairly good success working with the free tool CloneZilla. Since it hasn't been mentioned yet, and everything else mentioned does cost you money, I thought I would throw it out. CloneZilla is not as easy to use as the tools mentioned, but it has worked for me int hte past, so it is something to consider. I tend to use CampTune myself, but that was because I purchased a bundle deal for them and it was included in that deal.

You can redownload iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
Synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup that iTunes makes.

How can i recover my photos if i restored my phone but turned off icloud backup?

how can i recover my photos if i restored my phone but turned off icloud backup?

Do you have any backup at all for your device? If you do, then you can restore from that backup and get any photos that were on it. If you have imported your photos to your computer, you can sync them back to your device via an iTunes sync. If you had Photo Stream turned on, you can recover your Photo Stream for the last 30 days or 1000 photos on that Photo Stream (whichever comes first) by signing onto the iCloud account that the Photo Stream was turned on for.

How can I see the whole week with calendar built-in app ?

How can I see the whole week with calendar built-in app ? My husband has an ipad and he can see the whole week and the whole year... is it possible with iphone 4 ?

What you see is what is available.
Turning the iPhone into landscape mode with Month, Day, or List view selected provides the closest thing to seeing an entire week.

I am getting error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone". I have deleted the backup and restarted my computer, but continue to get this error message. What do I need to do now?

I have recently updated my phone and am attempting to sync it. I got the error message "iTunes could not back up the iPhone because the backup was corrupt or not compatible with the iPhone". I deleted the backup, restarted my computer, and even restored the iPhone, but continue to get the same error message. What do I need to do now?

iTunes places the iPhone backup in the following location. Navigate there & delete everything in the backup folder, but not the folder itself. You will have to turn on "Show All Hidden Files & Folders" to see it:
Mac:~/Library/Application Support/MobileSync/Backup/
Windows XP:\Documents and Settings\(username)\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
Windows Vista and Windows 7:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\
