    how to restore data file from back up on iPhone 5 docs to go

    If it backed up the lock file, then Lightroom was open when Time Machine ran, and the backup therefore may be corrupted.  You could try restoring that backup (without overwriting your week ago version) and see if it'll open.  If it does, you're off and running.  What methods have you tried?

  • I need to know how to restore a file from sessionstore-backups?

    I opened a link from an email and it over rided the last session I had open in FIrefox because it wasnt open when i clicked the link. I had 48 tabs open in the last session before i did this and cant seem to get them back. How do I restore a file from sessionstore-backups? The latest upgrade file based on the date probably has all of the tabs I need.

  • How to restore mail files from Time Capsule onto a different machine?

    My Macbook Pro hard drive crashed, and I want to restore my backed-up mail files from Time Capsule onto my Desktop Mac (iMac 27").  When I try to restore by opening Time Capsule with Mail already open, I can only see the current mail files on the iMac (not the backed up files on the MacBook Pro), even when I point to the MacBook Pro backup file.

  • How to restore data files from a purchased app that isn't working

    I recently had to reset my iPad after an ios7 problem with hyperlinks.  The reset fixed the hyperlink problem but now I can't open excel or word files created in a purchased application, productivity suite.  When I click on the file, it starts to open then switches back to the app icon.  Tried deleting and reinstalling the app and now all the files are gone from my iPad.  I backed up my iPad to my desktop before deleting the app but can't figure out how to restore just the files I need. 

    You should be able to mount the partition once you've loaded up the live CD. Just figure out which one it is by using
    fdisk -l
    then mount it to /mnt or wherever you want it.
    As for moving/saving them, I'm not entirely sure how to get them onto an external server. You might have to mount another partition in order to install any apps that you need to connect to an external server, but wait for someone who really knows to answer before you try it. If you're only talking about 4 or 5 MB, I would just mount a USB stick and dump them on there.

  • [SOLVED] How to Restore Folders/Files from a Hard Drive

    I broke my system today; it won't boot into any run level. Rather than try to fix it, I'd like to just pull off the 4 or 5 MB of files that are on the hard drive. The partition they are in was formatted XFS. I have the 2008.06 ArchLive CD - is it possible to access files from the hard drive after booting with an ArchLive CD? If so, I could just scp them to an external server. Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

  • How to restore many files from trashcan?

    I unintentionally deleted thousands of files from "all files".
    They are now in my trashcan. I want to restore them but can only restore a few at a time. This is frustrating and time-consuming.
    Does anyone know an efficient way to restore them all in one go?
    Thanks for any help.

    Right or control click the Trash icon.
    Hold down the Shift key while selecting multiple files.
    Right or control click then click:  Put Back

  • How to restore iTunes library from TimeMachine external hard drive backup after clean install

    I was not able to solve this problem, hence I decided to open this discussion.
    1. Recently, I clean installed Yosemite so my new Mac is completely empty.
    2. I have my time machine backup on my eternal hard drive and would like to restore only specific things - such as iTunes library.
    3. I did not manually copy iTunes library to my drive, I did the TM backup only, but I also do have all the files in my own "music" folder I manually backed-up.
    However, I cannot locate the library there, where is it?
    How do I move the library to my new Mac and then establish a new source folder that would be on my drive?
    PS: Previously, iTunes used my own music folder as a source = it contained all the music files. I had it on an external drive, later moved it to my Mac.
    This leads me to the conclusion that my backup copy of iTunes library did not contain the files anyway.
    Any advice?
    Thank you in advance.

    I am confused as to what you had or have where and when.  The bottom line is, your library (for the standard user) is everything in the iTunes folder.  As far as iTunes' organization and display is concerned, your library is a file called "iTunes Library.itl" which points to all the other host of files and folders normally in the iTunes folder which all work together.
    What are the iTunes library files? - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1660

    What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html

    Image of folder structure and explanation of different iTunes versions (turingtest2 post) - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7392 and making an iTunes library portable.
    If you kept everything together in one place then you need to put the whole iTunes folder on the drive where you want it, start iTunes while holding down the option key and guide it to that .itl file.  If things were split up and you had media on the external and the rest of the library on the internal you need to get them back to exactly where they were before.  If you can't find that iTunes folder holding the critical .itl file anywhere then you have a bunch of media tracks and no organization and will need to rebuild the organization from ground level.

  • How to restore individual files from a TM backup after a clean install?

    Hi to all,
    my teenage daughter's Mac Mini (running OSX 10.8) was cluttered with all sorts of stuff, even unwanted and inappropriate popup windows when using Safari, and more. So I made a final TM backup. Then I did a clean install of Mavericks.
    Now, I wanted to bring back individual files and folders from that TM backup, BUT...
    going to Migration Assistant, I realized that it would overwrite the clean install and bring back the clutter. This is no option.
    going to TM, I realized I wasn't able to select any of the snapshots from the timeline
    going to the external drive containing the TM backup with Finder, all folders within her "old" user.folder showed a small red stop-sign, which I learned is an issue with permissions. I wasn't able to restore manually.
    What to do now?
    I know I could restore the cluttered state and copy folders and files manually to an external drive, make another clean install of Mavericks, then copy manually from that external drive. This seems a lot of time and work to me.
    Is there an easier way?
    Thanks in advance,
    Michi

  • Restoring Control file from snapshot

    Hi,
    As in RMAN the following configuration will create snapshot of control file.
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'product/10.2.0/dbs/snapcf_PROD.f'; # default
    My question is how to restore control file from this snapshot to another location.
    Regards
    Krishna

    Copy RMAN backup files including archive log backup files to the target server
    Copy the SNAPSHOT CONTROL FILE or backed up control file from source server to target server.
    Source Server:
    RMAN> connect target /;
    connected to target database: HRDMO (DBID=209403493034)
    RMAN> show SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME;
    using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
    RMAN configuration parameters are:
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/opt/oracle/10g/dbs/snapcf_HRDMO.f'; # default
    Target Server:
    Export ORACLE_SID=HRDMO
    RMAN
    RMAN>startup nomount;
    RMAN> set DBID=209403493034;
    executing command: SET DBID
    RMAN> restore controlfile from '/opt/oracle/standby/dbs/snapcf_crmprod.f'; # The location where you have it in target srvr.
    RMAN>alter database mount;
    RMAN> run
    2> {

    5> restore database;
    6> recover database;
    7> }
    RMAN>alter database open resetlogs;
    You have the copy of instance in the target server.

  • HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

    Hi,
    I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
    So basically here are my 2 questions:
    How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
    How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
    Any solutions are very much apreciated!
    Thanks!
    I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
    And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

    WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
    http://www.twocanoes.com/
    Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
    During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

    I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
    OS X
    Windows
    Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine

    There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
    AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
    I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

  • How can I restore iCloud files from my lost iPhone

    I backed up my files to icloud. But I lost my Iphone last week. How can I restore my files from icloud to my macbook ?

    Are you using Photostream?  If yes, then you will be able to see your 1000 most recent photos on your Mac in iPhoto.
    All your contacts, calendar events, emails, etc. will still be on your Mac as part of iCloud.
    If you didn't import your videos from your iPhone to your Mac, then you've lost them unless you can restore your cloud backup to another iOS device.

  • How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

    How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
    The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine.  iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so.  Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost.  The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there.  There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch.  How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore?  HELP...

    Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
    You can restore from an existing backup

  • In iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed?

    in iPhoto how do I stop files from auto resizing as they import? I don't want my files reduced to 72. The option to choose size on the export menu not suitable for up sizing, as you can't restore the quality removed.

    Short answer: They are not resizing, there is no quality lost. The dpi is only set when you decide what size you're printing at
    Longer answer:  Dpi means nothing in the digital world of your computer. There are no "inches" to have "dots per..." Size is measured in pixels. That's the same on your camera. It doesn't take 10 x 8 or 6 x 4 shots. It takes shots measured in megapixels. For instance 4,000 x 3,000 is a 12 megapixel camera.
    Using that example, that shot from that camera has 12 million pixels. So that's how many "Dots" there are. To decide the ratio of dots per inch, you now need to decide the "inches" part. And that's printing. Print at 10 x 8 and the dpi will be 4,000/10 or about 400 dpi. At 6 x 4 then it's 4,000/6 or 660 dpi. Work the other way: Print at 300 dpi and the resulting image will be about 13 inches on the longer side.
    So, your photo as a fixed number of pixels. Changing the dimensions of the print will vary the dpi, changing the dpi will vary the dimensions of the print.
