How to recover my HD using DiscUtility

Hi All,
I will so appreciate if someone can help with an answer soon.
I (wrongfully) and by mistake selected my external HD where I do my time machine backups, selected from the dropdown MsDOS (FAT) and clicked Erase. A second after that I realised that this is the wrong HD and unplugged the 1TB HD. After plugging it back again I get the message that it can't be read and I have options to Initialise, Ignore, or Eject.
I did Ignore once and checked whether I can restore with Utilities. The disc shows but not with the naming I gave. It shows the capacity of 1TB so the Disc is OK.
I can't believe that 1TB has been deleted or reformatted for a matter of a 1sec.
Could you please HELP?
Thanks in advance.
Stefan

You're now in an unknown situation... First rule is - Don't use disk utility or try to write (save) anything on that disk!
You will need to try out file recovery software.

How to recover database without archive files

There are serveral information missing in this posting and as a support personnel, I would like to find out more when I see postings like this.
1. This person wants to "Test" his backup and recovery in NOARCHIVELOG mode.
2. He/She did not say his database had already crashed or had a problem.
3. He/She did not give any indication the kind of scenario he wants to recover from.
4. He/She did not mention the state of his database at the time of he posting.
5. He/She did not mention the Release of his Oracle Server or Platform.
6. He/She did not mention the type of backup he already has in place (although provided later as Full COLD Backup). How "genuine" is the back?
7. What actions has already been taken to attempt recovery.
In my support experience, I normally would go through a list of questions witht he use/client to get the full picture of the current status of the database before I give answers that would worsen situations, especially in a Disaster Recovery sitaution.
Personaly, I would suggest you have a look at the list above. One of the most important is number 3 (The Recovery Scenario), then number 4, number 6 and 7. Number 7 will determine the situation of your database. So, when you ask for SQL commands to use, there are different commands for different kind of recovery depending on what has gone wrong or what kind of file is damaged (Datafiles, Logfiles, Control Files, one tablespace, one table, entire database gone, etc).

I'm sorry to hear you no longer have access to your pictures ItzKB11. I know they're important, we'll do everything we can to help. However, since you did not back them up to any source and the screen does not work, we only have a couple options. Try using the USB cable to tranfer to PC:

It should be something like the following, but really you should read and understand the rman documentation first ...
1. restore the controlfile
sqlplus / as sysdba
startup nomount
exit
rman
connect target /
restore controlfile from '/path to the controlfile backup piece';
exit
sqlplus / as sysdba
alter database mount
exit
2. catalog the backup pieces
rman
connect target /
catalog start with '/path to backup pieces';
3. restore the database
rman
connect target /
restore database
4. recover the database
rman
connect target /

How can recover database using only Full Export ?

Hi,
I have one query , i have only Full export is given database , after full export sucessfully
database Crash by mistacally, how can recover it, i have only export is given no backup is taken (RMAN,COLD or HOT) statergy is use , How can recover it.

You need to recreate the database from scratch as imp requires a working database.
You could already do this by transforming the results from
'alter database backup controlfile to trace', a trace file containing a 'create controlfile' statement, into a 'create database' script.
After that step you apply your import. Everything after that import is lost forever.
One would ask for a sanity check of management and personell of a company, which has no backup strategy in place.

I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the one PSD files by distorting the images and colour. Does anyone know how to recover the original images?

I was using photoshop CC as normal, when suddenly it started going haywire. It has corrupted all the open PSD files by distorting the images and colour. They are now completely unrecognisable and unusable. Does anyone know how to recover the original images as I was saving them as I went along but the files are now corrupt?

What version of Photoshop are you running?
I've seen a couple of instances over the last week or two where Photoshop has added masks, strange colours and also merged content from two separate PSD files that were open at the same time.
This has occurred on two different iMacs, (both 10.10.x) running Photoshop CC 2014.2.2 (20141204.r.310 x64).
see image below for example:

HT1212 Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

Using the "if you have never synched with itunes" instructions, will I lose all data on the phone? That is the most important information, how to recover the data. The phone is fungible.

Thanks @ KiltedTim, but losing "only" any data is really not acceptable and, in this case, the phone had not been backed up, but thanks for taking the time. Also, yes, fungible means what I think it means. An iphone is a completely substitutible commodity, unlike my data, so instructions that inform me as to how to fix a phone I could replace for a small sum of money while failing to address the more important issue of the data are almost useless - they potentially save me the $99 it would cost me to replace the phone if I were so inclined to trust another apple product. Not worth the hour it took to find them or the 35 minutes on the phone to confirm my suspicions about the data.

Depends a lot on when, what you have done since (and probably a good idea to not use the computer and devices). Might want to search for data recovery, Data Rescue 3 is handy with Mac and PC computers, not sure about the rest.

HT3529 How to recover deleted text messages from iphone using iPhone

I'm trying to recover text messages I deleted on my iPhone4s. Is it possible?
Is it possible to do with out using a computer. If possible I'd like to recover the messages using my iPhone.

If the backup is made after the messages were deleted, then you won't be able to get them back via an iTunes restore. However, you may be able to use a third-party program to look at the backup made after the messages were deleted and see what information about those messages is recoverable.
One program, the one I work on, is called Decipher TextMessage. Our software will scan the text-message database and show you what information (whole and incomplete) was found that has been previously deleted. We've had a lot of success helping folks recover their deleted text messages -- it doesn't always work 100% since we're at the mercy of how the database works but it's worth a shot to see what you can find!
The website for Decipher TextMessage is http://deciphertools.com
You're also welcome to visit our website, try the software free, and send us any questions that you have.
Disclaimer: Since I work on Decipher TextMessage, I stand to benefit from the links to our website that I've made above.

How to recover my backups?? i used migration assistant but none of my old files showed up. I backed up daily and did a full disk back up twice.

how to recover my backups?? i used migration assistant but none of my old files showed up. I backed up daily and did a full disk back up twice

Open System Preferences and select Users & Groups. Assuming the migration was successful, you now have a new account - it was migrated. Migration Assistant doesn't copy files, it copies accounts. To see your documents you'll need to log into the account you migrated. (It has the same password it did on the other computer.)

How to recover using lion recovery disk assistant IN MAC MINI

how to recover using lion recovery disk assistant IF MY KEYBOARD AND MOUSE DOEST NOT WORK DURING BOOTING ?

Hello:
If my memory serves me correctly, the licence agreement that comes with a new system indicates that is good for one system....
Also, I do not think that something that would boot one type of processor would work on a different type.
