IPod Data Retrieval

A few weeks ago my computer had an unexpected breakdown and I lost my entire hardrive. I am pretty devastated about losing everything, particularly the thousands of picture files. The thing that cuts me up the most is the fact that I have almost ALL of those pictures on my iPod.
The music I can upload again from CDs, so that's no problem. Time consuming, but I will live. What I was wondering was, is there any way to get the images off of my iPod and back onto my now fixed computer?
I have many precious photos, photoshopped images I have spent LONG amounts of time on, and graphics for my websites, so this would mean a lot to me if I could. I am KICKING myself for not backing up, I promise I'll never let it happen again! lol

If you have full resolution copies of the photos on the iPod have a look here: Apple Knowledge Base article - Use Disk Mode to copy photos from iPod
If not, there are a few programs out there for recovering photos from an iPod, have a look at the ones below. If you search the internet you can find more. Just be aware that what you'll be recovering will be photos optimised for the iPod so they won't be the same quality as the original full resolution versions:
iPodPhotoCopy Windows only

Tansee iPod Transfer Photo Windows only

Data retrieval from sad face ipod

So, two nights ago my ipod (40gig 3rd gen(? 4th? 1.5 years old; warranty expired)) randomly died while in the middle of playing music. It whirred and clicked and eventually gave me the unhappy face, and that is how it's stayed for the past 48 hours. Now, there are plenty of people in this same boat, as a little browsing of the forums has showed me, so I'm not asking for how to possibly fix it, but...
What I do want to know: is there a service to get the data off the ipod? Reformatting the machine is all fine and good, but I'm living abroad and most of my CDs are currently on the other side of the world. My friend said that you could pay $50 for Apple to retrieve the data from your old drive, but I haven't seen anything like that on the website (perhaps it is only for Macs?)
Anyway, has anyone heard of a data retrieval service for ipods, or some other method of getting data off an ipod that won't connect to the computer? (I tried putting it in data mode and it just laughed at me...or frowned, I suppose.)
Thanks for any advice you can give...

Is your iPod fully charged? (connect it to the Mac for 4 hours to charge the battery)
Your post is not very clear on the problem, but normally Resetting the iPod will get rid of the sad face, on the iPod sceen, but may not get rid of your unhappy face.
To Reset - Press Menu and Center Button for about 10 secs till the Apple logo comes ON.
Here is the support document that may help you.

Query Error Information: Result set is too large; data retrieval ......

Hi Experts,
I got one problem with my query information. when Im executing my report and drill my info in my navigation panel, Instead of a table with values the message "Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration" appears. I already applied "Note 1127156 - Safety belt: Result set is too large". I imported Support Package 13 for SAP NetWeaver 7. 0 BI Java (BIIBC13_0.SCA / BIBASES13_0.SCA / BIWEBAPP13_0.SCA) and executed the program SAP_RSADMIN_MAINTAIN (in transaction SE38), with the object and the value like Note 1127156 says... but the problem still appears....
what Should I be missing ?????? How can I fix this issue ????
Thank you very much for helping me out..... (Any help would be rewarded)

You may ask your basis guy to increase ESM buffer (rsdb/esm/buffersize_kb). Did you check the systems memory?
Did you try to check the error dump using ST22 - Runtime error analysis?

WAD : Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration

Hi All,
When trying to execute the web template by giving less restiction we are getting the below error :
Result set is too large; data retrieval restricted by configuration
Result set too large (758992 cells); data retrieval restricted by configuration (maximum = 500000 cells)
But when we try to increase the number of restictions it is giving output. For example if we give fiscal period, company code ann Brand we are able to get output. But if we give fical period alone it it throwing the above error.
Note : We are in SP18.
Whether do we need to change some setting in configuration? If we yes where do we need to change or what else we need to do to remove this error
Regards
Karthik

Hi Karthik,
the standard setting for web templates is to display a maximum amount of 50.000 cells. The less you restrict your query the more data will be displayed in the report. If you want to display more than 50.000 cells the template will not be executed correctly.
In general it is advisable to restrict the query as much as possible. The more data you display the worse your performance will be. If you have to display more data and you execute the query from query designer or if you use the standard template you can individually set the maximum amount of cells. This is described over [here|Re: Bex Web 7.0 cells overflow].
However I do not know if (and how) you can set the maximum amount of cells differently as a default setting for your template. This should be possible somehow I think, if you find a solution for this please let us know.
Brgds,
Marcel

Real tough data retrieval - assistance needed

Late 2011 Macbook Pro with 500GB hard drive
Lion 10.7
One morning out of absolutely nowhere I get this grey screen with a flashing question mark folder. I take it to the geniuses at the Apple store and they tell me my hard drive has failed (no explanation). My mac is under warranty so they gave me a new hard drive for free, bagged my old hard drive and told me "good luck" retrieving the data.
I'm on a mission to retrieve the data without paying for services. I have never retrieved data before but I've been doing a lot of forum reading and I have been getting protips from an IT friend who has saved my PC data before.
As of now, I have been unable to even access the hard drive and so I am reaching out to the community to help me conquer this project.
the problem is not the OS (according to Apple store)
when hooking up with the dongle, neither Finder nor Disk Utility detect the bad drive
the drive will spin when forced by the dongle (so I've ruled out the freezer method)
I was advised (by friends and forums alike) to download so powerful data retrieval software:
Data Rescue [did not detect bad external drive]
Disk Drill [did not detect bad external drive]
TestDisk (http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk) [I can get it up and running but I have no idea how to use this software]
So that seems to be the big problem, when I hook up my failed drive as an external hard drive, there is no acknowledgement from my MBP that it is connected and as such data recovery programs cannot access it. When I still had it installed in my computer, there was no clicking sound and it doesn't seem like any of the components are jammed up as it still spins.
Where do I go from here? Please keep in mind that I am new to resolving my own technical problems but I'm willing to learn. Tired of being one of those people who look at computer parts and get anxious.
NOTE: I haven't tried Target Mode as I do not have a firewire cable or access to another mac (yet). If you think I should try this, please let me know.

A hard drive that will not divulge BOTH its Make&Model and a reasonable size/capacity to the likes of Disk Utility and data rescue programs has died, and connot be repaired with any software.
Target Disk mode will not improve anything. The drive is read as a Mac Volume by software. If it won't mount under Mac OS X, it won't mount under Target Disk Mode.

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation without itunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen.?

What is the procedure for a hard boot of my iPod touch 4th generation
without iTunes, and without computer, and without iPod data screen?
6 months after purchase I updated my iPod touch as recommend by iTunes.
It has not worked since that day. It frozen (disabled) with a "connect to
iTunes" icon displayed...that is the only thing it does. itunes does not
recognize the iPod. My Windows7 computer recognizes an Apple device.
Other computers recognize the devise but if iTunes resided on that
computer it did not recognize the iPod
I suffered a setback with deep depression and am just now getting out of it enough to do something. The depression prohibited me from taking action.
I have done every procedure recommended from Apple help and external
sources. I did this thoroughly with help for other owners and IT experts,
Apple employees etc etc. I and associates have perform reboots utilizing a
number procedure using only button on the iPod. These were unsuccessful
also have performed.
Please do not ask me to do the usual.
Online I saw a process using the buttons on the iPod to completely
reformat
the iPod. It was NOT the hold buttons for 10 sec let go of one wait 8 sec
etc. I can not find the process now...a friend showed it to me in passing
I have lost contact with him. This is the procedure, I believe, that with
enable me to update and use the iPod.

You need an internet connection and likely a computer with iTunes but an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with the FindMy iPhone App may work by:
If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and use Remote Wipe to erase the contents of your device. If you have been using iCloud to back up, you may be able to restore the most recent backup to reset the passcode after the device has been erased.
You can also wipe the iOS device by installing the FindMyiPhone app on another iOS device and using that app to wipe the device.
Otherwise
Disabled
Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
To restore from backup see:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
Yo may have to go to an Apple store or a friend's house with an internet connection and iTunes.

IPod data recovery- Help!!

I recently lost all of the songs, videos and pictures I had on my 80gb ipod video (at least over 3000 items) and don't have any of the files in my computer anymore.
Now I've downloaded 3 trial versions of programs that claim to restore your iPod data, and I wanted to take into consideration your suggestions before making a quite possible unnecessary expense.
The first programs that I installed were Recover My iPod and iPod Data Recovery.
However, the problem with these two was that they either presented a list of over 8000 songs, with no names mind you, (an amount i vividly remember not having) or they would just appear as error files.
Then I stumbled upon an alternate option, which was iPod Recovery. It offered me a detailed list of all the songs i had in my iPod. So I left it yesterday almost the whole day, but in the end, it only allowed me to download 15 songs.
I don't know if this is the limit for the trial version, but before buying the full software, I wanted to ask if any of you had encountered the same problem, or if you know whether it would be a good choice to buy the program, and if it will allow me to recover all of my data. Please help me!! I don't care if I have to spend a lot of money in those programs, I just want to be sure that they will be able to recover all of my lost data.
Any comments or suggestions are highly welcomed and encouraged. Thanks in advanced, and please excuse any inconveniences I may have caused.

*They can rescue data that has not been overwritten.*
This is what I wanted to know, I thought they were scammers and that I'd not get anything out of it.
*can they recover all lost data? Most likely, no.*
T_T
*You do still have everything on your computer though, correct?*
If that were the case it would be unnecessary to look for programs that can "recover" your data
If you don't have the files on your computer, you do make regular backups of at least the important files on your computer, correct?
No...that's my mistake and I'm paying too big a price for it. sighs
Thanks a lot for your responses *Chris CA*, I'll still buy one of those programs and a backup memory x_x

Should I use a data retrieval service or software to recover data ?

Please pardon the length of this post.

I have 2 LaCie Big Disk d2 Extremes daisy chained and connected to the IMac. We use the first to store all of our data to keep our local disks free. The second d2 is the backup to the first. The other 2 computers connect to the d2's via an ethernet hub. The d2's are each partitioned into 4 compartments.
A couple of days ago I started the system up when I got in in the morning, and the main d2 would not open. I ran disk utility, but it said that the drive was damaged beyond it's ability to repair. I ran DiskWarrior, and it gave me this message:
"The directory of disk 'G4' cannot be rebuilt. The disk was not modified. The original directory is too severely damaged. It appears another disk utility has erased critical directory information. (3004, 2176)."
I contacted Disk Warrior tech support and after a series of exchanges that had me send him dated extracted from the terminal function, he said this:
"It appears that the concatenated RAID inside your LaCie
drive has failed (your 500GB drive is actually 2 250GB
hard drives). That is why we only saw 2 partitions
on "disk3". A possible cause could be a failed bridge
in the case.
You may be looking at sending this drive to a data recovery service.
However, it is possible that we may be able to recover data
from the partitions that we CAN see. What we would be doing would cause no damage to your data
unless the hard drives were having a mechanical failure (ie, the
head crashed and was contacting the platters, similar to scratching
a record). But from what I've seen, I don't feel that is the case.
I believe the piece of hardware that 'bridges' the two drives to
make them act as one has failed. that's why we can only see data
about 1 of the 2 drives in the case.
We would only be attempting to gather data off the drive. Since
data recovery services sometimes charge for amount of data retrieved,
it's up to you how you want to proceed."
Most of the data from the past 5 years for our business stands at being lost. Only some of it had been properly backed up on the second drive, due to some back up software issues. I want to do whatever I can to retrieve all of, or at least some of the data. From what the Alsoft technician said, do you think that the data recovery software available to the consumer is going to be robust enough to retrieve at least the data from the one disk in the drive that is recognizable (there are 2 250gig disks in the d2X. Only one is responding at all). If so, do these Softwares further damage the disks? Or should I just send the drive to a data recovery service?
I'd like to try to extract some of it myself via over the counter retrieval software, but I don't know whether to trust these programs?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

My 2 cents:
I have used FileSalvage
http://www.subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1
to recover files from damaged disks. It works as advertised, within limits. Some files may be too damaged to recover. More importantly yo get to scan the disk before actually recovering, and it will give you a list of what it thinks it can recover.
My experience was that it recovered approx 85% of the data.
YMMV but they do have a trial.

Comp. hard drive crash-How to start using new comp. w/o losing ipod data

I had a hard drive crash on my old laptop. Unfortunately, I didn't have any backup of any of my iPod data. I had purchased 2 videos and 3 songs. Not a huge loss there, but I also had imported about 150 CDs that I don't care to burn again.
Ideally, I'd like to get my new laptop loaded with all the data from my iPod, but I've heard I can't do that. At a minimum, I'd like to get my iPod synching with my iTunes library on the new laptop without losing all the data I've already placed on it.
Each time I try and switch back to automatic, it tells me that it will replace all the data on my laptop.
Any advice on how to proceed, and any way to get the data back on my laptop's iTunes library from my iPod?
5th gen iPod using iTunes 6.0.1.3 on Windows 2000
Thanks.

Gordon,
There's a solution to your problem but first it's time for a little lecture. (If it makes you feel any better, I don't like this any more than you do.)
I hope you take this as an opportunity to learn a very important lesson: Back up your iTunes library as soon as you can after resolving this situation because right now you are only one glitch of your iPod away from losing your music entirely.
Many people come to the Discussions having lost their music in just such situations and, believe me, it's not a happy time for anyone.
If you place any importance on your playlists and the data they depend on, you will want to include your iTunes Library files in your back-up regimen as well.
Anyways, that's the lecture. The answer to your problem should be found in this post:

Good Luck! But once your music is back on your computer, remember:
Your music is valuable - please back it up!

Report Developed in Webi Rich Client Consuming more time in Data Retrieval

Dear All,
I am a BO Consultant, recently in my project I have developed one report in Webi Rich Client., at the time of development and subsequent days the report was working fine (taking Data Retrieval time less than 1 minute), but after some days its taking much time (increasing day by day and now its taking more than 11 minutes).
Can anybody point out what could be the reason?????
We are using,
1. SAP BI 7.0
2. SAP BO XI 3.1 Edge
3. Webi Rich Client Version :12.3.0 and Build 601
This report is made on a Multiprovider (Sales).
What are the important points that should be considered so that we can improve the performance of Webi Reports????
Waiting for a suitable solution.....................

Getting started. how do I sent my ipod data to another drive?

Ok. I just got my first ipod. I decided to get the classic.
I started to transfer some of my music from my external hard drive onto my ipod with itunes..but I guess everything is saving on my itunes list on my mac drive.
Is there a way to keep all the ipod data on my ext. drive only? I don't want it taking up all the space on my Mac drive by itself.
Also, how do I store Video files on my ipod? Is there any kind of program I can use to convert them to Ipod form (Mp4 or whatever the video format is).
Thanks.

The iPod uses .m4v, .mp4 and .mov file formats so you probably need a 3rd party converter to convert the file with both audio and video.
See this for help: Guide to converting video for iPod (Mac/Windows).

Data retrieval for Sony handycam with 60G harddrive.

Does BestBuy do data retrieval? I have a handycam with work video on it that accidentaly got formated. I know with a standard harddrive you can still retrieve it if there has not been recording since the formatting but I am not sure about camera harddrives. If BestBuy does not do it, does anyone know where it can be done and approximate cost. I live in the New Orleans area.
I may try the same question in computers if nobody knows. Thanks in advance for any guidance at all.

Best Buy sends out for data retrieval. You can have it sent out through geek squad to get the estimate of cost.

Data Retrieval Speed in Oracle Spatial vs. ESRI ArcSDE

I would appreciate any opinions regarding data retrieval
performance between Oracle Spatial and ESRI ArcSDE. Would an end-
user (using ESRI software) experience significant differences in
data retrieval speed depending on how the data were stored in
Oracle (MDSYS.SDO_GEOMETRY verses ESRI Binary/Blob formats).
Knowing that the ESRI binary formats are tailored to their
software front-end apps (ArcGIS, ArcMap, ArcCatalog, and
ArcInfo), wouldn't this be a "non-issue" until the spatial
dataset gets "large", and even then, wouldn't performance be
(almost) equal if the spatial indexes were created properly?
Thanks for your inputs,
Bruce

John,
You can't do that type of query in sql from sql*plus using
SDEBINARY. HOwever, you can perform spatial queries in ArcMap
if you are using SDEBINARY.
You can use the query builder to perform point-in-polygon type
queries.
Hope that helps.
For my two cents, I think SDO_GEOMETRY gives you a more robust
database to work with, because you have the added power of
Oracle Spatial functions. If you are using SDEBINARY you are
limited to only what you can do thru ArcGIS.
If you are concerned more about performance than accessibility,
especially with a large number of users, then SDEBINARY might
be the better choice.
I love Oracle Spatial and am hoping that the performance issue
will not be a serious one when we start putting ArcIMS developed
apps into production.

Passing values to subreport in SSRS throwing an error - Data Retrieval failed for the report, please check the log for more details.

Hi,
I have the subreport calling from the main report. The subreport is based on MDX query agianst the SSAS cube. some dimensions in cube has values 0 and 1.
when I try to pass '0' to the sub report as the parameter value, it gives an error "Data Retrieval failed for the report, please check the log for more details".
Actually I am using table for storing these parameter values. In the main report I am calling this table (dataset) and passing these values to subreport.
so I have given like [0],[1] and this works fine. when I give only either [0] or [1] then it is throwing an error.
Could you please advise on this.
Appreciate all and any help.
Thanks,
Divya

Hi Divya,
Based on the current description, I understand that there is no issue if you pass two values from main report to subreport, while the issue occurs when passing one value to subreport.
To narrow down the issue, I want to confirm whether the subreport can run if there is only [0] or [1] in the subreport. If so, it indicates the query statements exist error in the subreport. If it’s not the case, this shows the issue occurs during passing
values from main report to subreport. To make further analysis, please post the details of query statements of the subreport to the forum.
