How to reinstall osx and recover data?

Hi
If I reinstall osx 10.6.8 after hd format, and later connect my time machine external drive, will I get back all my stuff? I mean data, docs programs and so on?
After having played with a linux install, I found partitions ex linux I don't know how to delete and reassign to the mac hd, so I think the easiest way shoul be a fresh reinstall.
Thanks, Gianfranco

Thanks, my osx is already at 10.6.8. I had a lot of fun with Ubuntu, and even if I was warned about issues, wanted to try. I did it because some hardware will not be detected by osx. Afterwards decided to uninstall Ubuntu and switch to W7 for the above. Disappoint: ex linux partitions will not be removed by disk utility, and, more frustrating, Bootcamp does not allow to install Win because it finds that mac hd is not journaled. Of course is not: to be it expects a contigous volume, not parted. So, just to talk about my experience, mac architecture is very rigid, both in hardware management and software: it wants to decide where to store or pick data according to itunes philosofy (not mine) and, at the moment don't find any advantage respect Win/Linux exept a beautiful piece of furniture. Sorry for my complaints, you were very kind and gave me a helpful hint, but I'm starting to regret the iMac/iPad purchase.
Thanks for all, Gianfranco

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

How do I find out how much space OSX and applications are taking up on my HDD?

I am thinking of moving my OS and all applications to a SSD to free up space on my MBP.
My question is how do I find out how much space OSX and installed applications are taking up on my HDD so I know how big the SSD needs to be? Also, what is the best way to move these files across to the new SSD once installed?
Many thanks,
Andrew.

If you do command-click or right click on your hard drive and select get info, it will tell you how full the HD is.
there are some apps that can show you exactly how big particular apps are

I replaced my internal drive with a SSD for performance reasons a few months ago. There are a number of ways to move your files over to the new SSD. I am a fan of the clean install, which might take a bit more time and effort but results in a very fast and trouble free mac. An easy way to do this if you are replacing your internal drive is to put the old drive in an external drive enclosure. Then you install the new SSD and install mavericks on it. In my case I used Diskmaker X to make a Mavericks installer (DiskMaker X (formerly Lion DiskMaker) . Then you can reinstall your apps from scratch, and finally move your documents over from the external drive.

How to update link and import data of relocated incx file into inca file?

Subject : how to update link and import data of relocated incx file into inca file.? The incx file was originally part of the inca file and it has been relocated. ------------------- Hello All, I am working on InDesignCS2 and InCopyCS2. From indesign I am creating an assignment file as well as incopy files.(.inca and .incx file created through exporing). Now indesign hardcodes the path of the incx files in inca file.So if I put the incx files in different folder then after opening the inca file in InCopy , I am getting the alert stating that " The document doesn't consists of any incopy story" and all the linked story will flag a red question mark icon. So I tried to recreate and update the links. Below is my code for that //code start***************************** //creating kDataLinkHelperBoss InterfacePtr<IDataLinkHelper> dataLinkHelper(static_cast<IDataLinkHelper*> (CreateObject2<IDataLinkHelper>(kDataLinkHelperBoss))); /** The newFileToBeLinkedPath is the path of the incx file which is relocated. And it was previously part of the inca file. eg. earlier it was c:\\test.incx now it is d:\\test.incx */ IDFile newIDFileToBeLinked(newFileToBeLinkedPath); //create the datelink IDataLink * dlk = dataLinkHelper->CreateDataLink(newIDFileToBeLinked); NameInfo name; PMString type; uint32 fileType; dlk->GetNameInfo(&name,&type,&fileType); //relink the story InterfacePtr<ICommand> relinkCmd(CmdUtils::CreateCommand(kRestoreLinkCmdBoss)); InterfacePtr<IRestoreLinkCmdData> relinkCmdData(relinkCmd, IID_IRESTORELINKCMDDATA); relinkCmdData->Set(database, dataLinkUID, &name, &type, fileType, IDataLink::kLinkNormal); ErrorCode err = CmdUtils::ProcessCommand(relinkCmd); //Update the link now InterfacePtr<IUpdateLink> updateLink(dataLinkHelper, UseDefaultIID()); UID newLinkUID; err = updateLink->DoUpdateLink(dl, &newLinkUID, kFullUI); //code end********************* I am able to create the proper link.But the data which is there in the incx file is not getting imported in the linked story.But if I modify the newlinked story from the inca file,the incx file will be getting update.(all its previous content will be deleted.) I tried using Utils<IInCopyWorkflow>()->ImportStory() ,But its import the incx file in xml format. What is the solution of this then? Kindly help me as I am terribly stuck since last few days. Thanks and Regards, Yopangjo

How to combine sales and delivery data

hi
i have requirement to make a report from sales as well as deliveries. Important fields in report are sales document , material , plant , sales document type , country key , sold to party , ordered quantity , delivered quantity , price from vakon ( KBETR ), actual goods issue date.
The required extractors are 2LIS_11_VASCL, 2LIS_11_V_SSL ,2LIS_11_VAKON.
Problem is how to combine sales and delivery data as V_SSL has different key figures.Multicube is not the solution as dont have plant , sold to party and many other fields in V_SSL.
Kindly suggest how to combine sales and deivery data.
Regards,
Monika

I guess you do have shipping point in delivery.
In most scenarios shipping point may not(or) may be same like order plant.
Although they are different you can still roll up the delivery information to order level by plant since you have order # available as reference key in delivery.
With this reference key you can convert all delivery information to order (item) level.
I guess you can use one merge ODS with one cube (or) with 2 ODS for each at order level for validation.
You may have to map delivery type to order type as per R3 configuration as well.
speak with any Logistics guys for help.
cheers

How to accessed,created and modified date of particular file in java

Hi,
I am facing one problem.
I know how to get the modified date/time of file in java.
but i don't know how to find created and accessed date/time of file in java.
Thanks,
Tejas

I guess thats not possible in in Windows.
But if u r trying it on a unix machine.
You can use Runtime class to call exec on the command
ls -l filename
and then store the result in a file . And then take out the last modified time. But you cant get created time.
Thats a clumpsy way i believe.

It sounds like your hard drive either has a software problem that Disk Utility cannot fix or that the HD has failed (mechanically).
Your Mac may have booted either to your recovery partition or to internet recovery in an attempt to repair the drive- I can't tell from your post.
I'll assume that it was the recovery partition.
Try to boot into internet recovery (hold down option command R at restart), and see if you can repair your HD with Disk Utility. You should also repair permissions while you're there.
If that doesn't work, try to boot into single user mode (restart, hold down ⌘S until you see a black screen with white text) and repair your hard drive. Here's a reference with directions: Repair Your Hard Disk in Single User Mode | Everything Macintosh
If that doesn't work you have a few options:
If your mac originally came with installation disks, you can try to boot from the installation disk and then see if you can repair the HD.
There is a small chance that Techtool Pro 7 will be able to repair your HD if Disk Utility can't.
If none of that works then your HD has probably failed and will need to be replaced, which is not too difficult to do yourself if you can use a screwdriver.

Hello Rajendra,
You can get plenty of forums in SCN related to it. Follow below steps to create VOFM routine.
Go to VOFM Transaction Code
1. On the Menu Select required Application i.e Pricing
2. Enter any Number in between 600 to 999 for Custom Developments.
3. On entering Pop Screen appears ask for Access Key(We have to remember that Every New Routine needs an Access Key)
4. Once the Access Key is received we can do modification.
5. Enter the Routine Number ,description and insert the Access Key
6. Now the ABAP Editor will open and required code can be copied from Standard SAP Routine and Custom Code Can be developed.
7. Once the coding is completed we have to Activate the Routine
8. Select the Routine and Go to Edit – Activate
9. Ensure that Active check box is ticked upon Activation of the Routine.
10. Double click on the routine will enter into ABAP Editor, we have to generate the Routine
11. Go to Program and select Generate
12.A screen pops up with the related Main Programs and select all required main programs wherever the Routine is being called.
13. Once the Routine is Generated and Activated, We need to configure the Routine in the config.

You would have to restore the iPad and set it up as new. The data would eventually come back as you use the iPad so you may as well not worry about it. It uses very little space on the iPad.

There are two iMacs connected through same router in my house but one refuses to login to facebook and other logged in sites. local techies are bemused, I have just reinstalled OSX and still have the problem. Login page recycles and no errors reported.

There are two iMacs connected through same router in my house but one refuses to login to facebook and other logged in sites. Local techies are bemused, I have just reinstalled OSX and still have the problem. Login page recycles, I get no further and no errors reported. Safari, Opera and Firefox. Deleted cookies and chain but still no action.

If you have not already done so, read the router's user manual troubleshooting section and/or contact its customer service department/forums.
If still having problems, post back w/details of all you have tried to resolve the problems along w/the troubleshooting solutions that the "local techies" had you try.

HT1533 SSD PROBLEM: unable to reinstall osx and also failed in backup recovery.

Yesterday my MacBook Pro 2011 suddenly got hanged and freeze. And I have to restart system by hard shutdown. Then I faced this problem every time. I reset nvram but it did not work . Then I thought May be it's corrupt operating system I tried to reinstall new osx maverick from recovery mode but system freeze again during osx downloading process. I tried this 2 more times but the same problem occurred. Afterwards I deleted all ssd drive data in partitions but when I tried to unmount and delete the partitions here I was failed in unmounting partitions. But I deleted all data from all partitions.after this I tried again to reinstall osx but system hung after sometime. I also tried to recover from my time machine backup but the same problem happened and my system got freeze and I have to hard shutdown. I also did hardware diagnostic test which showed everything ok. Now I am realizing that my SSD got corrupt. Could you please help me what I should consider that can fix my problem. I also tried fsck and verify and repair the disk.

Devbird,
are you still able to boot into Recovery mode? If so, select Utilities from the menu bar and run Terminal from there. In the Terminal window, give it the following commands, one per line, separating each command by pressing the Return key at the end of each line:
diskutil list
diskutil cs list
mount
Please include in your reply the full output from these commands.

Does reinstalling OSX delete the data on the drive?

Does reinstalling OSX via recovery drive delete any data on the drive? Basically, I think the install of yosemite I have now is messed up and needs to be redone. Safari doesn't open in normal start up mode but opens in safe mode. I figured a reinstall of OSX would help? Does reinstalling it remove all the data on the drive? Or does it detect that there is data there and leaves it alone? Thanks in advance.

Hey Kpe413,
Thanks for the question. Using the built-in recovery disk to reinstall OS X will keep your files and user settings intact. However, you should always make a back up of your data via Time Machine or manual methods in case you run into any issues. For more information, check out the following resources:
