I would like to know if anyone in has experienced problems with Stellar Phoenix Data Recovery and if I have ultimately fallen for a scam?

I had accidentally deleted important files from my hard drive and emptied them from my trash can on my MacBook Pro. I sought a variety of data recvery packages but none were really successful apart from one - the now infamous Stellar Phoenix Mac Data Recovery Version 6.0. Upon using what I was led to believe was a trial version, the files I was looking for could in fact be found. However, in order to recover them I had to purchase a £94.80 licence. In deperatation I chose to do this. Upon attempting to recover the files, I went to check the location I saved them into and low and behold there was a folfer called a 'Root' Folder which was completely EMPTY.
Stellar Phoenix have done little except take the money and run
I would greatly appreciate it if you alert me to free data recovery options as I dont want to be scammed by unreliable apple 3rd party providers.

It sounds like that your drive is corrupted. You should try to format it for fixing this problem.
But, to recover your original data, you are supposed to run a hard disk recovery software at first and format this disk afterwards for saving the physical drive. This free one can retrieve your data completely as it helps my friend restore all his data. Go get it there: http://goo.gl/wQW0Ur
Add some tips: You should not rewrite your wanted data with any new file in case of data loss.
You should back up your important data all the time on a different drive in the future.
Hope it works.

  • I would like to know if anyone, after downloading Lion OS, lost their Quicken 2007?  If so, what have they done to remedy the problem?

    I would like to know if anyone, after downloading Lion OS, lost their Quicken 2007?  If so, what have they done to remedy the problem?

    From the quicken website:
    Converting your data from Quicken for Mac
    Create a copy of your current Quicken for Mac data file.
    Important: You'll want to use the copy for the conversion. Do not use your original data file.
    Launch the Quicken File Exchange Utility (it's located on your Quicken Essentials disk).
    Follow the on-screen instructions to locate the copy of your old data file and then convert your data from Quicken for Mac to Quicken Essentials.
    Open Quicken Essentials.
    If you want to import your old data into a new Quicken Essentials data file that you’ve already started using (optional), make sure that the new data file is now open in Quicken Essentials.
    Choose File > Import, and then select the file that you just created during the conversion process.
    The conversion file has a .QDFX extension. You’ll find it in the same folder as the copy of your old Quicken for Mac file.

  • I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch.

    I installed lv 6.1 on a windows 98 system. As I am having problems of stability (frequent crashes, much more than with the former release 6.0), I would like to know if there is some specific problem with windows 98 or there is some patch available.

    My experience with Win98 is that it is not a very stable system, regardless of software used. For example, Win2000 and XP are far more stable than 98. I've had it crash on its own if I leave the computer on for several days.
    I wouldn't recommend running programs for long time (few days) on this OS.
    This being said, can you be more specific in your question. What kind of stability problems did you have, which VIs did you run (if possible post them here), did you change the interrupts and priority levels on those VI, do you get error messages or blue screen....

  • I would like to know if anyone else is experiencing issues related to location services settings. Ie; they are on but maps cannot determine location etc.

    I recently experienced an issue on my ipad2 related to location services. While connected to a wifi network, I found that apps requiring location services would not work properly and I would receive a pop up notice asking me to turn on location services.  For example, the maps app would display a pop up stating "cannot determine location". My NHL gamecenter app would not allow me to watch live feeds; a pop up advised me to turn on location services. In each case, location services was in fact on.
    I checked my settings, shut down the apps, restarted them, shut down the iPad and rebooted it to no avail. The internet connection was working fine as best as I could determine. The wifi network was at a guest home and the router was recently replaced. I returned to my home wifi and everything worked fine. The next day, I returned to the guest Internet connection and everything seemed to work once again. However, while watching a NHL game, during the last seconds of an overtime shoot out, I lost video and it was attributed once again to location services being disabled. Of course I checked and nothing in my settings had been altered. I went to my iPhone (3GS) and pulled up the gamecenter app and was able to watch the end of the game( via wifi connection...same network).
    So, I am puzzled as to what could be causing this problem. If anyone else is having similar issues, I would like to know as well as if there are any solutions or feedback from Apple regarding this type of problem.....Dave.

    As the King says, if your friends wifi router was relatively new, it likely has not been picked up by Apple's location based information database system and thus there is no location information associated with it.  So your iPad had no way of getting its location.
    The wifi location databases are traditionally updated by wardriving - literally companies employ people to drive around sniffing out active wifi signals and associating an approximate location to it.  Some companies also have web sites to submit that information if owners wish to (Apple does not seem to have one though), and the various companies with wifi location databases buy and sell their information.  Bottom line is though, it can take weeks, months or sometimes even longer for a residential router to get picked up - depends on where you live (more rural, likely the longer time it takes).
    When I moved from VA to NC it took up to 6 months for mine to reflect my new location (I checked it once the week I moved in, and then periodically thereafter, and it finally was getting it right after about 6 months) and I live in a pretty densley populated area (triangle NC).

    I would like to know if "Restore Backup" to my new phone will load up all the information I have which backed up from my other phone. I only "clicked" on "Backup" when I connected the new phone to my computer. I was afraid to click on "Restore Backup" to have all the other information I had from my other iPhone load up to my new iPhone. Hope you can help. What is the difference between "Backup" and "Restore Backup"; is all that different from synching.Thanks. Ana

    I just got iTunes Match and would like to know if downloading my songs from the cloud uses cellular data if I am not able to use wifi?

    Hi,
    Yes, it will use cellular data. If you know that you are going to out of wifi range, you can predownload some music whilst you have a wifi connection.

    It is a 64G IPhone 5 ... 
    Regardless, it is not a matter of carrier locking.  Verizon iPhone 5 phones were never GSM sim-locked to begin with.  Every iPhone Verizon has sold since the introduction of the iPhone 5 has been sold with an unlocked GSM slot, as required in the USA by their agreement with the FCC.  They have not been allowed to sell any iPhone 5, iPhone 5c nor iPhone 5s devices with GSM carrier locking in place.
    Your connection problems are from some other cause - it is NOT a carrier locking issue.

  • Hi, i would like to know if my mac has a virus

    hi, i would like to know if my mac has a virus, ´cause in sometimes it works weird

    Ralph is right (of course) about no virus.
    What you are describing seems to be what might happen if all of the system's resources* are gobbled up.
    *When I say "resources" - I mean memory (real and virtual), caching needs, CPU usage etc.
    The web pages you describe have nothing to do with your Mac having been "infected", per se, but that kind of "Pop Over" "Pop Under" malicious JavaScript can certainly gpbble up resources. When you get the Web being mean to you, and have a lot of other APPs open too, you could max out your machine, especially if it is older like mine.
    To help other members answer your question, give as many details as you can.
    Include your Mac Model name and specs such as processor speed, memory, and storage capacity. Please do not include your Serial Number, IMEI, MEID, or other personal information.
    Provide the version numbers of your operating system and relevant applications, for example "OS 10.4.11" , "Quicktime Player 7.6.4",  "Safari 4.1.3"and any other apps you might have open when the misbehavior occurs.
    Describe the problem in detail, and include step-by-step your actions that lead up to °each misbehavior.You seem to be describing at least TWO different bad behaviors
    List any troubleshooting steps you've already tried, or temporary fixes you've discovered.

    Any device that Palm manufaturers currently should be able to get the data from the older device.
    Although Palm doesn't make handhelds anymore you can get a smartphone and transfer the data over to it without issue.
    If you go to the new WebOS you can transfer the data over it just might take a little work.
