How to Recover Lost Memory Stick

I've lost my memory stick that I have backed up on my home machine. I'm wondering if there is a way to recover the data without the memory stick. I can't see the memory in time machine without it plugged in. Can anyone help me with this?

go to your Time machine volume in Finder and open Backups.backupdb. Inside there will be a folder with the name of your computer. Inside that there will a list of backups. open one made when your stick was backed up. You'll see a list of folders with the names of hard drive that were backed. open the one corresponding to your memory stick and copy what you need.

How to recover lost folders and files - Pls help, help...

Some days ago I lost all of my 15 GB folders and files that stored in my Macbook Pro hard drive called DATA. I brought my Macbook pro to an experienced computer tecnicians who providing data recovery services. To his and my suprise, after checking, scanning it a few hours, he said their is no way to recover because he did not find any trails at all. The computer still seems working properly - I have no problem with any applications. There are few other folders in the DATA hard disk containing pictures, computer programs still remain. These lost folders and files contain mainly documents (word, excel, power point, pdf etc) which I accumulated in my many years working !!!!. I did not make a back up since last September partly because I think Mac is very safe.
The computer with me all the time on that day and only my son used Power Point to make a simple presentation on that evening - he can not save it on the folders the he normally use - All the folders and files are gone.
I will appreciate it very much if any of you can tell me what would be the possible causes and more importanly how to recover the lost folders and files. They are very very valuable to me.
Many thanks for your kind attention

First, did the data actually get deleted, or is it still there somewhere? Try searching the drive for some of the documents, perhaps it's all just in another folder on that drive.
If it's truly gone, it's impossible for us to say what might have happened to make it unrecoverable. Perhaps someone using the computer used Secure Empty Trash, or securely erased empty space on the hard drive. Perhaps it was overwritten by other stuff before you noticed. It's possible the hard drive is starting to fail, though this seems like an awfully specific problem for that to be the issue.
Or perhaps the tech you took the computer to didn't know what he was doing. Why not try recovering what you can on your own? See Recovering deleted files.
You should be aware that no computer is safe. All computers rely on hardware that may fail and software that can have bugs. You absolutely MUST maintain a good set of frequently-updated backups... no fewer than two full backups of anything you don't want to lose.

How do I use memory stick for pictures

How do I use a memory stick for my pictures? I put it in the side of computer? I want to look at
my pictures on it and save more on it?

Open Finder, the stick will be in the left hand pane, click on it and what is on the stick will show up in the right hand pane. Double click on one of them and it should open in Preview or iPhoto.
You can use iPhoto for this also and you can copy images from iPhoto onto the stick.
I dont use iPhoto, I use Lightroom, and when I do something like this I use Finder.

How To Recover Lost Develop History Settings?

can anyone tell me how I can recover lost develop history?
I edited some files quite a few days ago. Today I launched LR and it did a backup, then when it opened the images were visible but with the ? and missing file message, because i had moved the files from the main folder into sub folders using Bridge. So I did a Sync on the main folder to bring back all the files....it relocated the files as per the new structure, when I realised all the develop history had gone. I think thats because it removed the missing files and imported the files again as new.
So I shut down, moved all the files back, and opened the backup file. The backup was created AFTER I made the develop edits. The images were back in orioginal location, but again no develop history, all files back to their original import. There are no issues with other files, some I worked on that day but did not move are fine.
I have LR backup to a external HD drive. The previews were in the default Username/Pictures folder, but now its rebuilding previews in the same folder as the backup on the external drive, and its taking ages!
Im puzzled why its doing this and why the dev settings have gone, I would have thought they would be in the backup catalog? As I moved the files back and opened the backup should they not be there? I dont have the save xmp sidecar enabled either.
Could it be that the previuos previews are on my hard drive, and now LR is rebuilding previews in the same folder as the backup on my external HD?
Phil

I don't have all the answers, but by now you've learned the hard way to make changes in LR if you're moving files about. As to Previews: they'll get rebuilt in the same folder as the .lrcat if none is there. If you have a catalog on the external, and launched from it, it's very likely it is building a Previews folder. I set mine to rebuild at a very small size in such a case. Or just have it build for those folders you need to check.
Now, if the external has the edits/history you want, run Export as Catalog on those photos you need to replace, then delete them from the internal, and run Import from Catalog.
Good luck!

How to recover lost files in iMac due to software update

iI accepted an automatic software update in Mac; it restarted my computer and all files created in the last three days disappeared. Any ideas on how to recover those files?
Thank you!

If all your files are missing
You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

How to recover lost product license keys and not just Microsoft licenses?

Which products have you tried? Have you looked at Magic Jelly Bean? Depending on the OS and software, some keys are not retrievable. You should also know that certain software are not transferable from one PC to another, reference the license terms of each for clarification.

There are so many products out there that claim to recover lost software license keys and all of the ones I've tried either recover only MS license keys or no keys at all. I'm trying to recover keys from my fathers old system to install on his new one and some of the products he used do not have the keys available. Anyone out there with a viable product key recovery tool that will get back more than just MS license keys?
My father will be greatly pleased.

How can I recover lost memory capacity

I have an Iphone 5s with IOS 8.0.2 installed. Today when I was syncing my phone with my laptop, the overall capacity became 26 Gb instead of 29Gb as usual. Can anyone help recover that lost capacity?

I just checked with my phone. My phone does not show up in the Finder on my Mac, but here are the results from the phone:
Settings/About: Capacity: 64GB/Usable: 57.1GB
Settings/Usage/Storage: 23GB used/34.1 available, which adds up again to 57.1GB, as shown in Usable Capacity.
iTunes gives me the same readings for used and free space.
So, if those numbers add up for your phone in the same way, there is nothing to worry about, no matter what the Windows Explorer says.

Does anyone know how I can recover all of the albums with the pictures I've created without have to import and rebuild everything? HELP!

If so you may be able to locate the PSE data base file and launch from that.

How to recover lost music?

I connected my IPod to ITunes without realizing the settings had changed to 'automatic update' (I recently downloaded a new version of Itunes without setting it to manual update). So I lost almost all my music, since I recently changed computers ie my library is almost empty!!
How can I recover my lost music?!?

If there is no back up anywhere (on your other computer for instance), you are left with attemtping to recover the deleted music form the iPod.
This will require some data recovery software, and there's a post giving some options here.
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=931813&#931813
You may have to spend money, and have a little computer knowledge and the results are variable.
Incidentally, since the setting to auto sync your iPod is an iPod setting and not an iTunes one, downloading and installing a new version of iTunes should not have changed anything.

How to recover lost files from ipod touch 3rd gen after sync?

I synchronized my ipod touch in a new computer and it deleted all my files, and I did not have a back up neither my old sync computer. How can I recover my files?

Go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices. Is a backup listed with the date/time you synced?
Do you have an iCloud backup?
If yo use the same iCloud ID you should still have you contacts, calendar and other iCloud stuff.
