I recently reinstalled Snow leapod on my mac because I was having problems. I backed up everything onto disks, but after formatting, i quickly realized that some files did not transfer. I am missing some very important video footage. Please help me!

I recently re-installed Snow leapod onto my macbook. Previously the system was running snow, I believe I may have visited a corrupt website or something. Anyhow, I backed up all of my information onto disks before reformatting, and the format went well. However, I realized after the fact that some important video footage did not transfer to my DVD-R's that I saved my data too. Is there any possible way I could recover this information? I'm trying to recovery software I found recomended online, but im not sure what the outcome of it will be. I know things are not looking good, but was hoping someone could please help me.

Also, as for what I did. I put the OS disk into my computer, restarted it and ran through the screens to completely reinstall the OS. Then, I had to install my Snow Leapord CD because my origional OS was not the newer SL. Its my own fault, I just didnt think of every file off the top of my head before startign the process. I assumed everything was on the backup disks I had just burned.

  • Using iTunes I moved my vacation photos onto my iPad3; however, some of my videos did not transfer even though I clicked on "include videos" in iTunes.  How do I get these videos to load onto my iPad?  Thank you.

    Using iTunes I transferred my vacation photos from my MacBook to my iPad3.  Some are videos and some of them did not transfer onto the iPad.  One transferred into the photo album and worked as a video and also transferred into the Video album.  These videos were shot with a Pentax camera and have the extension .MOV.  How can I get them to transfer to the iPad3?  Thank you.

    The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Do your .mov files comply?

  • Failover did not happen when network switch went down!!! PLEASE HELP

    Hi gurus,
    Yesterday one disaster struck my RAC database. We have two node cluster and it is 10.2.0.2, both of them located in different sites, yesterday suddenly power went down and the one of the network switch went down and got destructed, node one of RAC database was connected to that switch, but the failover did not happen to the node two as this should be the case when one node goes down the other should be available for all the node one sessions/connections.
    when I tried to ping/telnet the node 1, it was not happening because the switch was down, the network guyz connected the cables to other switch available. When I connected to the node 1, it was showing "Oracle is not available" message.
    And when I tried the other node, it was the same case but I did not see any error in alert log file. Then my TL restarted both the nodes and then the database was available.
    I am very confused that how the failover did not happen and how the database went down, PLEASE suggest something to how to identifiy what was happened. Thanks & Regards

    About Oracle RAC ... you have 2 nodes ... You have to connect 4 IPs.
    I mean
    - IP public node1
    - IP public node2
    - IP Virtual node1
    - IP Virtual node2
    When node1 down
    You can not ping "IP public node1", but you should ping "- IP Virtual node1", because it should up on node2.
    But not bind 1521 port.
    Idea about failover
    you have to create new difference Service...on RAC Database!
    and on your client have to set TNS to on failover and balance (if you used OCI), you can use TAF feature
    Example:
    DB =
    (DESCRIPTION = (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db01-vip)(PORT = 1521)) (ADDRESS = (PROTOCOL = TCP)(HOST = db02-vip)(PORT = 1521)) (FAILOVER=ON)(LOAD_BALANCE = yes) (CONNECT_DATA = (SERVER = DEDICATED) (SERVICE_NAME = NEW_SERVICE_DB) (FAILOVER_MODE = (TYPE = SELECT) (METHOD = BASIC) (RETRIES = 180) (DELAY = 5))))
    If you use JDBC, can not use TAF.
    Anyway, I suggest you read more about RAC on http://otn.oracle.com/rac and http://oracleracsig.org
    Good Luck

    Thanks for your reply,
    after the network switch was replaced we connected to both the nodes and found that the instances are down with no reason given in the Alertlog file. We just restarted both the instances and then the database was up and the clients connected to both the instances with equal sessions on both the instances. I want to know that whether the failover can be done at the application side or it should be done on the database side i,e; in tnsnames.ora file with the required parameters? as in our scenario there is no failover configuration in the tnsnames.ora file.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Upgraded numbers and some files did not upgrade

    I have upraded numbers but some files say I need an upgrade. What do I do>

    Hi CP,
    Shame that both need to be kept on the Dock, but I understand why.
    You don't need both on the Dock. But double clicking on a document in Finder will open it in Numbers 3.1 (the default version).
    You can right click (control click) on a document in Finder and Open With > Numbers 3.1 or Numbers 2.3.
    Sadly, Get info (command i) > Open with: > Numbers (2.3) and then Change All... does not stick. It reverts to Numbers (default) 3.1

  • Importation video impossible, please help

    Bonjour, I m working with Adobe Premiere pro CS3 on Win Xp sp3.
    Its now impossible to import any media video !?
    Look like a audio media.
    Tanx for help and have a happy new year
    Have a look on my video.

    To the OP - welcome to the forum.
    In follow up to Jim's comments:
    This ARTICLE will give you some background on the AVI "wrapper," and tell you how to "peek inside" that wrapper.
    If the CODEC inside the AVI is DivX/Xvid, you will most likely have issues and conversion of that delivery-only material is the best course of action.
    If it's MJPEG, then there are "fixes" in most cases. See this ARTICLE, if MJPEG.
    Good luck, and let us know the full specs. of that AV material.

  • Deleted a VERY important Folder..PLEASE HELP!!!

    Okay- I drug a folder to the trash. Clicked on the trash Icon, and hit "empty trash." Now, I'm screwed! It was the wrong folder, and I need that stuff back!!!!! aaahhhhh!!!!!! Anyone- clues? Programs (that wont break the bank?!) Thanks in advance!
    -David

    I wish I could locate the apple document about backups, I know there's an official one but I can't find it. If you have a .mac account you can use the "backup" program to do that. The other way is third party programs that will backup any updated files to a remote computer on your network, or another drive. Probably the easiest though is just burning the files you need to save to DVDs or CDs. Someone else could probably explain this a whole lot better than me though, so give it a try.
    Oh! And just out of curiocity, how did the program not work? Did you get an error, or was the folder just too far gone to get back? If the lisence you purchaced is transferable, you might just want to sell it to someone here or on ebay. Good luck.

  • Syncing my New iPod - Some files do not transfer

    I just upgraded from 30GB to 80GB and when I went to sync my new iPod it left out like 5 (of 2550) songs and 40 videos (of 80+). I changed to Manually manage and was able to add the files, however, I wish to keep auto sync on and don't like the idea of manually doing it. I can not see any reason why these files were left out of the sync. It is not an authorization problem as all of my videos were purchased from iTunes Store and half of them were transfered. I only have one iTunes account so it is not multiple authorizations. Can anyone help me with this?
    Custom Built   Windows XP Pro  

    I was thinking that this was a file type error, but when you manually transfered over media onto your iPod, everything worked fine?
    Try keeping the Auto Sync feature on for a while and see if any new media it finds is automatically transfered over.
    Hope it helps!

  • Import iTunes Media Library, some files were not found problem

    Hi guys,
    I am trying to restore my music library info via importing from iTunes Media Library xml file I backed up. During import, iTunes gave me error message box saying that some files were not found and therefore won't get imported. After it's done, I checked the iTune and I noticed many of the music files did not get imported at all, even their locations are correct. Is it because iTunes stopped importing at the first entry that it found its location not existed and therefore skipped the rest all along? Even later ones might be valid. Is this the case?
    Is there an easy way to find out what those entries are? So perhaps I could go and edit them directly in the xml file. The message box did not give much information
    Any help would be really appreciated,
    Thanks alot

    Hi Chris
    I have now experimented a little more and discovered that although Time Capsule (TC) is showing in Finder as a Shared Drive at laptop startup (and showing a status of a connected user, me) it is not actually 'mounted' in the true sense of the word i.e. the unmount/eject symbol is not showing next to it nor either of the drives connected to the TC. By clicking on either of the 2 drives (i.e. the TC 'Data' disk or the TC USB-connected drive) the status changes to show the dismount symbol on both the selected drive and the TC in the Finder side bar. Launching iTunes after this intervention works every time as per your advice. Not the Apple 'it just works' that I have come to expect and appreciate but at least I now understand how to make it work reliably..........many thanks and I hope Apple just makes it work sometine in the future
