How to recover missing folders after merging two annual folders?

I had two 2013 folders, each with about 100 daily folders. The dates were differnt in each annual folder. I dragged one into the other. The folder where the daily folder was dragged from is now empty but those folders do not appear in the recieving folder. All the photos are still in the catalog, but do not show in the folders (left side panel).

So this is the answer you probably don't want, but I think its a better solution. Instead of investing time and energy to fix up your folders, put the time and energy into enhancing your keywords, and then use keywords and other metadata when you want to search for photos, and don't use folders to search. This is what I do, as I don't know and don't care what folder things are in, but I do have the ability to find all of my photos quickly via keywords and other metdata. Furthermore, as I read these forums, people having problems with folders is a major source of confusion and problems, while the people who have problems with keywords are mjuch fewer and have much less serious issues, and usually its a complaint about a feature that they want added to the handling of keywords.
But if you really want to work on your folders, please do the following. Go to one of those photos from the "missing" folder, make sure there is no question mark on it, and then right-click on the photo and select "Go To Folder in Library". This should highlight the folder where the photo is now located over on the left in the Lightroom Folder Panel (you may have to scroll up or down to find it). Then you know where the photo is located, and you should be able to figure out how to restore folders to whatever location you want. If you need more help with this task, please let us know.

How to recover 10.6 after getting mangled by CoreAudio

hi- about two days ago i experienced a sever system crash- i was trying to install the CoreAudio drivers to use Virtual DJ and messed up most of OS X. i could boot properly but almost nothing worked, including iTunes, FInder, Chrome, Safari, and so on. i tried debugging for a while (deleting the drivers, reinstalling chrome, running disc utility, running onyx, so on) with no results so i reinstalled osx and that has brought be this far. at this point most of the system has recovered except for two (maybe three) things. one is that disc utility still shows inconsistencies in the permissions of many of my system files. it also fails to fix any of them. onyx does the same. also my internet protocols have been effected. chrome has become unusable to a cue- crashing pretty consistantly and demonstrating this unstability. safari doesnt even load my homepage without freezing, forcing me to force close it. skype is also very unstable, and firefox does not run either.
if anyone knows how to recover 10.6 after getting mangled by CoreAudio, please help. tnx.

Ignore the disk utility repair permissions. Stuff is always reported. Scan over this.
The fact that your internet related apps aren't working implies that you should look at your network system preferences. Are you using ethernet or wireless? Are you using default DNS servers or something like the OpenDNS servers (208.67.222.222, 208.67.220.220)? DHCP? Is there a green dot next to the connection type you are using?

yours recovery asking a lot of archivelog ,you are in the situation now like you are in no archive mode recovery..which requires last cold backup.
What you can do is restore yours old backup with its old controlfile and then recover till before that miissing log by using recover database using backup controlfile.

You cannot use the iTunes store there any longer just as you can no longer use the food store you used to visit. Unless you can change your country back to the one you used to use you no longer have access to purchases made there which is why it is important you keep backups of all purchases made there.
The iTunes Store in a country is intended only for use by that country's residents, and only while they are in the country. To use the iTunes Store in a country you need a credit card (or other card type if acceptable in a country) issued in that country, billed to an address in that country, and also be physically present in that country when using the store. You are also restricted to waiting 90 days between country changes.
E.g., "The iTunes Service is available to you only in the United States, its territories, and possessions. You agree not to use or attempt to use the iTunes Service from outside these locations. Apple may use technologies to verify your compliance." - http://www.apple.com/legal/itunes/us/terms.html#SERVICE

How to recover the workflow after dead line is missed

Dear friends,
my work item missed requested end date as well as latest end date. I see it in
transaction SWI2_DEAD. Is there way how to recover the work item or prolonge
the dead lines?
Thanks for you help.
Regards,
Petr.

Hi Petr,
Could you please explain in a little more detail, what exactly you mean by "recover"?
Nothing actually happens to the work item, unless you have designed the workflow with modelled deadlines in such a way that it cancels the item and perform some or other action. Simple deadlines don't do anything to the work item, they just send out a notification and the work item remains where it is.
If on the other hand you have a modelled deadline which cancels the item and generates a new one, then there is no way to "recover" other than starting a new workflow.
Cheers,
Mike

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 to recover missing data from PCL4 cluster

Hello experts,
Is there any way to recover missing data from PCL4 cluster ?
We recently found that some data related to W2 production run for past years was missing in the PCL4 cluster. Tables T5UXX & T5UXY has entries with the filing dates but certain data is missing in the cluster related to those table entries.
Would there be any specific reason for such a data loss ?
Has anyone come across this issue earlier and found resolution on the same ?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Dipesh.

When you delete PCL4 entries for production runs, the corresponding
control information in tables T5UXX and T5UXY also will be deleted. A
control number may be used for more than one Form number (in Tax
Reporter control tables). Therefore, if a control number that is
assigned to the Form number to be deleted was also assigned to other
form numbers, then this control number information from T5UXY will not
be deleted. These details will be displayed in the program results.
However, if all Form numbers that were assigned to this particular
control number were deleted, then the control information in table T5UXY
for the control number will be deleted automatically as the last
dependent Form number is deleted."
Following we have two questions:
o Was PCL4 deleted?
o Did the W2 generate without errors?
Basically if the PCL4 data is corrupted, then we have 2 options to
rebuild the PCL4 Cluster:
1. Delete the existing PCL4 & rerun the production run with the same
   As of date.
2. Overwrite the production results without deleting PCL4 data but with
   different As of Date.
If the Employee data is not changed after your
actual production run then overwriting the results will not cause any
difference in the PCL4 data.
Secondly, if you dont want PDF spools or magmedia layouts to be
generated during overwriting of production run, then kindly uncheck
the following on the PU19 screen, so that only PCL4 data is rebuild :
1. Uncheck Employee Copy
2. Uncheck Authority Copy
3. Uncheck Magnetic table"

How to recover missing files

I am missing a few songs dffrom Itunes. I may have missed while transfering from another PC. Any tips on how to recover, if any chance of that to happen?
Thanks.

Trying to diagnose something like this third hand probably isn't very effective. But when you open Terminal you are "in" your home directory. If you then issue this command:
cd Desktop
and hit return you will then be "in" your Desktop folder. If you then issue the list command:
ls -al
you will get a list of all the files and folders that are in the Desktop folder. If he sees everything, then the stuff is there. He could try creating a new folder in his home folder, call it something like fromDesktop, and then issue this command (this assumes he is still "in" the Desktop folder):
mv * ~/fromDesktop
This will move everything from the Desktop folder into the fromDesktop folder. A list command will verify things:
ls -al ~/fromDesktop
If all his stuff is listed, but he still can't see it in its new location using the Finder, then it could be that somehow the invisible bit got set.
And for Finder's sake, tell him to stop saving all that stuff to the Desktop! Put stuff in folders in his home folder. I've seen cases where excessive numbers of files dropped on the Desktop brought the Finder to its knees for many hours. Every single thing on the Desktop is treated as a window by the Finder, and having a ton of stuff there is needlessly slowing things down. And he should be backing up every night, not every couple of weeks. There are many programs available that will do this automatically. If he is in business he should be using one. Not to mention burning separate CDs of things for every client.

HT1391 how to recover itunes library after reformatting computer - has also wiped my ipod clean when I tried to transfer the music from there

Hi - I have reformatted my computer and want to know how to recover my tunes that were on itunes - I have tried to transfer the tunes from my ipod but it has wiped this clean too - any suggestions welcome!!

*If my kids dock up their iPods to charge them (the iPods still have the music on them) will the computer "sync" the iPod to the now empty library that's on the computer?*
If the iPods are set to update automatically you need to take care connecting to an empty iTunes. You can use a keyboard command to prevent an iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘ Apple) keys together. This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and it will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. You should then be able to change your settings: iTunes for Mac - Keyboard Shortcuts
Once the iPods are connected it might be a good idea to change them to manual updating at least until you have your library back in shape. The content of iTunes and the iPod are not syncronised in this mode so the two can be different, you can get details here:
Managing content manually on iPod
iPod - Syncing Music
Something else to be aware of when using an iPod in manual mode is that the "Do Not Disconnect" message will remain on the display until you physically eject the device: Safely Disconnect IPod

How to recover missing notes on an iphone

How can I recover missing note on an iphone. I lost them when I deleted an old buisness email account that is no longer operational.

Have you been backing up the phone? You might be able to recover the note if you restore to a backup that was made while the note was on the phone. It might not work though, if the note was resident on the business account and was being synced to the phone that way.
