I need my data back

Hello,
I tried to download and install the recent iOS 8 update to my iPad 3. It failed to install too many times, so I decided to restart the device and give a try. The device appeared as if it is still loading and fails to startup no matter how much time I leave it to finish booting. There is an update logo on the screen and I can’t make it switch to a normal start up or cancel the update or anything. I can get access to the recovery mode but the problem is that I have very important data on the device storage which I cannot lose. This is serious as I don’t have any backup for my data on my PC or iCloud which makes the only copy I have is on the device itself. So, the situation in brief is that I’m stuck in the update and can’t access the old OS. I just need to get my data back in any possible way before proceeding to the update, so please give any possible solution.
Thanks

This must be a unique definition of "very important". One backup is not enough. No backups is insane. Hopefully this will be a successful learning experience, which everybody eventually discovers.

Most of my equipment has toasted, and I need the data back.

I must have been a very, very bad person in a past life. This week has been more technologically harrowing than I'd thought possible.
My cherished Titanium Powerbook died after a valiant battle, and the Apple techs said that there was nothing they could do, Apple just doesn't support such antiques (not sure if they meant me or the PB). They did let me download my files onto my 80G Smartdisk FireLite, and though the PB hard drive was acting a bit wonky and transfer was slow, I got most of the files. Most everything already had been backed up on the FireLite, but I grabbed the remainder. This means that My Entire Life resided on the FireLite.
I was about to download the files onto the G4 cube, and plugged in a USB hub with an optical mouse and a jump drive on it--and something started to burn. The jump drive, the mouse, and the hub fried. Now it looks as though the well-named FireLite is toast too, since though it powers up, it won't mount and nothing recognizes it. The cube is fine.
I still have the hard drive from the late lamented Powerbook, so if it holds up a bit longer, I ought to be able to save most if not all the files. Can I do this myself if I can get an external case to power the PB drive? And if the PB drive does indeed hold up, could I continue to use it? (This would be helpful, since the MacBook Pro won't run Classic, which is necessary in the short term for all my current programs and most peripherals.)
If an external case is feasible, can someone give me specs for what to get? I'm hoping it's affordable, though I'd also look for one to borrow.
If it isn't feasible, would someone please shoot me now?
Thanks.

Hi A,
Just one thought to add: I would get a FireWire enclosure so if you ever want to clone an entire HD on a Mac, you would then have a secure backup which was also able to boot said Mac.

I need to back up and sync multiple iPhones to a single iMac. Each iPhone has a separate Apple ID and the data from each iPhone needs to be backed up separately from the others. How can I do this without getting all of the contacts, etc. mixed? Tnx

I lost all my events on iphone prior to 2015 and this is not nice as I often need to look back on past dates they are on my Macbook air but how can I get them back to my phone

They're not lost, they simply don't show because you settings ask it not to.
Go to Settings --> Mail, Contacts, Calendar --> Calendar --> Sync --> All events

Friend deleted app (my disk for iphone) and need to get back data from my icloud backup...need help!

     I had this app called my disk (app store name is: Lock photo+video safe - secure folder manager to protect private photos vault & hide secret picture file privacy) This app lets me have two passwords with different pictures and videos in each of them. It's a really great app.
     My friend deleted the app by "accident" and I need to get the app back with all my data. I have a backup of the app on my icloud backup that was taken place two months ago (around same time the app was deleted). It shows up in the cloud saying I have 4gb worth of that app in the cloud. I restore my phone back to that backup but the app data is not there. I wasn't sure if I had to wait till my iphone backs up everything (like music and pictures for example) for it to show up but as soon as the app downloaded I opened it hapilly knowing I have my data back but unfortunately it was not there. In the app itself, there's an option to backup from the cloud but it just brings up this window that says you can back up from the cloud (doesn't have a place to hit that says restore or anything).
     Is there something I am doing wrong? Can anyone help me? I really need that app data back because I have pictures of memories with friends and family inside that app that I do not have anywhere else. Once i get the back back ill be sure to save the photos onto my computer just incase anything goes wrong again.
Thanks everyone for the help!

fwiw
It seems that in a case like this you'd need to reset the device to factory settings and then restore from iCloud backup.
Sadly the reset to factory settings could cause more trouble than its worth.
Apple's iCloud backup, could, but does not let the user restore one app or its data.
You'll also find that even though that App's data is in the cloud, you as its owner do not have access to it.
Hope it helps/

Calendar in iCloud deleted - need help to get the data back

Hi,
I just deleted one of my calendars in iCloud. Is there any chance to get this calendar (with all the data) back into iCloud?
Thanks for your help.
Pierre

thank you

HT6154 I deleted my Imexchange from my phone I need to get the data back with the app

I deleted a IMexchane App from my phone by mistake. I need to get the app and the data back.

Talk to the app developer. From what I can see, that app is designed to sync with Outlook. The data should still be in Outlook

HELP... Machine crashed, need to put back data

Long story short, the machine running Oracle 9i crashed. I was able to get the Oradata directory from it, and format it, and put a fresh install of Oracle 9i on it. I need to know how to put the old data back onto the fresh install.
If it involves logging into Oracle Management Server, I've never done that, and I'd appreciate some instructions on that also. Thanks in advance for any help you can give me.

Hi
yes you can simply overwrite the old datafiles with new ones.
You dont need to recreate a database with exact same structure though.
All you need to do is make sure that the drive letter (if windows) or the path are exactly the same as it was before and just create a demo database with the same name as you crashed db.
ie: D:\oracle\oradata\db_name
then just shutdown the database stop the service and past the old files on the new ones.
after it finishes just restart the service.
trick: you need to either have the old pwd<db_name>.ora file for the sys password, or you need to use the orapwd.exe in order to reset the sys password to the original one.
hope this will help

Input needed for writing data back into BW/ECC data

Hello Everyone,
Can anyone please let me know an example or process you have used for writing data back into BW (DSO/Cubes) or ECC systems.
We do not have integrated planning in our current system configuration currently.
So, any sample code for using any of the BAPI/RFC for writing data would be appreciated.
Also, I am trying to find out if there is any way to schedule the models developed in VC 7.1 in background to automate certain type of data processing which goes across multiple systems.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
Can anyone please help me out on this one....
I am aware of few BAPI's such as RSDRI_ODSO_INSERT_RFC but I am not aware of what action has to be used to transfer the data from the table within VC to this BAPI and how to define the parameters as the one's available for the BAPI I mentioned do not fit into the data I have in the table within VC.
The following are the columns I have in the table within VC,
1. GL Account
2. Credit Amount
3. Debit Amount
4. Sales Amount
I have defined the DSO with the same where G/L Account is the keyfield and the rest being data fields.
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Apple has a 90 warranty warranty on all of their repairs. You should take your computer back to the repair shop. Or call Apple Customer Relations (800) 767-2775. Wait for a human to come on the line and ask politely and firmly that you want to be transferred over to the Customer Relations department. Tell them your issue.

How can I get my data back?

I have a Macbook Pro running 10.8.5. I went to startup my computer tonight and got an osx utilities window. No desktop. I don't know how to restore my desktop or get my data back. I don't have a backup. Please help!
Thanks

Since you've a Retina machine, you have flash storage. If you can get to the Recovery partition (it sounds as if that's where you are? Nonetheless, you can boot into your Recovery partition by holding down the command and R keys whilst booting).
Use Disk Utility to verify and, if needed, repair your flash storage. If it can't be repaired, call back.

How to get data back from an action ?

Hello,
Would it be possible to get data back from an action (out of the question EO_MESSAGE & ET_FAILED_KEY )?
For example we got an order with order positions and we need a "function" to e.g. count all positions. Because of Performance the function should not be processed each time the order is changed, read or a position is added. Instead the function should be processed only if it was called explicitly.
Is it possible to create a kind of action which is actually counting all entries and export the number of them?
How to mark a parameter in is_parameters as exporting?
Is this just done by (naming-) convention?
What is the preferred way to have “methods” with returning/exporting values?
Regards,
Lorenz

Hello Lorenz,
As you have already figured out , the Action API provides you with only the messages and failed keys if any.
Post action execution , you can always execute a retrieve or retrive by association , to get the latest buffer snapshot , which of course would include the changes that you have made in your action.
If you want to ensure that users have explict control on execution of your "fucntion", then of course , you should model it as an action on the BO.
The parameter is_parameters is an IMPORTING parameter. You CANNOT use it to export anything back from the action. For importing , you can of course have any structure to use as the is_paramaters , which you model as the action parameter structure which modelling your BO action.
From an external entity the only way to interact with a BO is by consuming the BO services and you are bound by the BOBF standard interfaces. Any and all data you require needs to be modelled as node attributes ( persistent or transient ) and fetched using the RETRIEVE, RETRIEVE_BY_ASSOCIATION or QUERY services.

Indranil.

Help needed with data security

I need to return my Thinkpad for service but I am concerned with security. For instance, my facebook account as well as other accounts log on automatically because the passwords are automatically remembered. How do I keep my confidential information safe while the laptop is in the technicians hands?
BTW, one of the problems that it has is that I cannot backup successfully with the lenovo application... I managed to get a backup completed with the windows backup program, but I'm not sure of it's integrity.
Please help me with this, Thanks!

Hi,
If I understand you correctly, you suspect software problems.
The first thing the techs will do (probably) is re-image your HDD. I hope you have you important data backed up somewhere - especially if you don't trust the Windows backup.
For that matter, if you do have software issues, restoring a full backup will also restore the problem.
You've probably already considered this, but just in case...

How can I get data back that is in the trash?

I don't seem to be able to retreive clips or other data that end up in the trash. When I click on the trash icon contained in the app I am only given the option of Cancel or Empty. Is that it? Once the data is in there it's gone? Thanks.

iMovie 4 trash is a sort of virtual trash in that there isn't really a location where things are put (like your system trash) but instead a representation of how much stuff you cut out of your project. If you click empty (and never due that in iMovie 4 as there is a bug that sometimes trashes your project) what happens is iMovie rewrites all the media files to get rid of the stuff you clipped or deleted.
So there are ways to get your stuff back. One way is to select any clip and pick the restore option which will reset the clip back to the way it was before you made cuts. The downside of this is that you lose all your edits on that clip and have to redo them over if the one you wanted to undo is several edits back.
You might try this instead. Assuming your clips are all off the clip shelf and now down on the timeline, grab all the clips on the timeline, hold down the OPTION key and then drag them all back to the Clip Pane. As you drag up there while holding the OPTION key, you should see a green circle with a ( + ) in it. This means you are making a COPY to the shelf, not moving them. Drop them on the clip shelf. Now select clips on the shelf and do a restore on them from that location. I think this will let you restore the clips to their original size on the shelf while the ones on the timeline will remain untouched. Hopefully you will find what you lost.
In the future, the best way to edit in iM4 to avoid this sort of thing is to import all your clips normally onto the clip shelf on the upper right side. Now rather than dragging them down to the timeline (removing them from the clip shelf) and editing them, OPTION drag them to the timeline which will make a copy to the timeline rather than a move. Don't worry about drive space. When you make copies, they are not real copies (the media files are not duplicated) but instead just additional virtual copies, so you can make as many as you want with very little impact on drive space.
Now you can edit to your heart's content on the timeline and if you ever make a mistake or need to get back a piece of clip you deleted, the full copy remains safe and unedited up and over on the clip shelf. You can always drag down additional copies if you need to get back footage or if you want to use the same footage more than once.
