Is there a way to retrieve files encripted up by Apples Backup?

I have some files on an external hard drive that were backed up (encripted?) by Apples Backup a couple years ago. I would like to restore that data and retrieve some photos. Is thare a program or method to accomplish this? Thanks for any help with this.
Joe

These files were encrypted by the Apple program "Backup" that was available until 2011 or so. The program is no longer available on the app store. When I purchased a new computer they were somehow missed when I migrated my data over to the new machine. I am looking for a program that can open them. I do have the original password. I am also looking around locally someone with a mac running Snow Leopard or earlier. Thanks for answering.

Is there a way to retrieve deleted text messages with no backup?

Is there any way to retrieve text message conversations with no backup on an iPhone 4S?

If there is no backup, there is nothing to recover the message from.
You might check to see if your carrier can provide the message, but it would never appear on your device again.

Is there a way to retrieve an Apple ID using the backup email?

Hi!
So I have an iPad mini that I purchased about a year ago and I activated it with an apple ID that was under by brother's name. Recently I updated iTunes on it and it reset. I have to put the apple ID that i activated it with but I can't remember it. The email that I used was a yahoo, and the thing with yahoo is that if its inactive for a few months (the email) they recyle it. So, I can't check my brother's email or even guess at it because it doesn't exist anymore and he doesn't remember it. I do know that my email was the back-up email that I used for the account. I know my email, but I have to use his apple ID first for an email to even be sent to mine. Is there a way that ican go around this and just get an email sent to mine (his back-up email)?? (I don't know the operating system, but what I do know is that I purchase it on March 2013)

Can your brother use his iTunes account? If he can log in then he has his passcode, use it. ???
AND
The yahoo email does not get recycled unless your brother deactivates his yahoo account, and nobody does that. So I doubt it is inactive. The email account is the same as the Apple ID and it appears in the iPad, in settings, under iCloud or Mail account information.
That doesn't help recover a password. But if your brother still uses iTunes, he remembers his passcode.

Is there any way to retrieve files from my Original Aperture 2 library after conversion to Aperture 3?

My original conversion locked up due to damaged file. I repaired Library and process completed,I thought! Now I'm finding folders from the conversion empty. I can go back to the Original Library and use the show contents command to view the files. They are still in place, but the import process in Aperture 3 doesn't see the files to import? Any ideas on how to retrive these missing files?

Thanks for the info. I do have the Aperture 2 disc so I'll re-install and repair library then give it a go again. It will probably take a few days as I have a HUGE library. I'll let you know the outcome when it completes! Thanks again for the help.

Is there a way to retrieve camera roll photos after failed backup

I backed up my iphone 4 to itunes (not icloud) yesterday, and today i went to the apple store to see if they could fix a broken lock button. They issued me a new phone, and assured me that i woult be able to retrieve my camera roll photos after restoring my phone from backup. Everything restored to my phone EXCEPT the photos. Some of them are very important to me and i would like to know if there is a way to retreive all of the photos through my computer, phone or itunes. PLEASE help me.

The Camera Roll photos should have restored, as they are part of the backup, unless you had a corrupted backup. Connect the phone, right click on it in iTunes, and choose Restore from Backup. If you are given a choice of backups choose one from before you replaced the phone.
However, the Camera Roll is not intended as a permanent store for photos; they should be transferred to a photo app on your computer or Photo Stream frequently, to avoid the situation you are now facing.

Did you backup the phone before deleting the messages?
If so, restore the backup;

If not, you're out of luck.
Beware of spammers who may post about software claiming to recover deleted messages directly on the phone. These are all identity theft scams.

My mac froze and shut down. Is there a way to retrieve unsaved files?, My mac froze and shut down. Is there a way to retrieve unsaved files?

My mac froze then shut down. Is there a way to retrieve my unsaved files?

It depends what you are using, you haven't told us, and whether you ever saved in the first place which you also haven't told us.
In OSX Lion (OSX 10.7) Pages will have auto-saved after the initial save and reopening the file will take you back to the last save.
Prior to Lion you would only have the last saved version. Utilities like ForEverSave would have auto-saved for you or you would need to manually save with command s.
If your whole Mac froze and it wasn't a battery issue in a laptop, then I would try and determine the reason as this should not be happening.

I accidentally deleted some files in my Notes on my Iphone 4s, is there a way to retrieve them?

I was trying to copy and paste in my Notes and accidentally deleted them after highlighting. Is there a way to retrieve them???? I assume that once you delete them on one device, it deletes them in the cloud and other devices because they are not there.

If you use iCloud then use the restore feature. If you backed up to your computer then restore from there. However if you did not backup prior to erasing the notes, then they're gone.

Is there any way to retrieve deleted photos or files after they were trashed.

From your backup. The iCloud backup contains the photos in your Camera Roll:

Lost all my passwords in mozilla, is there a way to retrieve them?

While looking in my security window folder of passwords I somehow inadvertent did something to lose all my stored passwords -- is there a way to retrieve them

First of all backup your profile, just in case the information really is in there and in case you make mistakes, at least then things should not get worse than they are already.
Especially if this happened very recently then and it is worth trying using Windows OS and the option to retrieve previous files after right clicking them. The files are in the Firefox profile, and the easiest method of finding that is to navigate to the troubleshooting information page by keying in to the location bar ''about:support'' and using the open folder option on that page. Make sure you close firefox before messing with the profile and it is worth backing up files before and after you attempt to recover them.

The files you need are the pair '''''key3.db ''''' & '''''signons.sqlite''''' copying the recovered files into the profile to overwrite the current file, or just recovering them in their correct location should restore the passwords.
Note there are methods of backing up passwords, and the new sync will also backup passwords, but not at the moment if you use a master password.

Is there any way to retrieve accidentally deleted source clips?

I accidentally deleted source clips for a video project, and now the viewer won't show my video (although I can still see the frames when I run my cursor over the project). Is there any way to retrieve the files or show iMovie where to find the source clips on my computer, kind of like how it's possible to show iTunes where to find source mp3s on my computer when they're moved from the iTunes file? Since I can still see the frames when I move my cursor over the clips (with the exclamation points in the corners), it seems as though the memory of the edited clips must still be in iMovie somehow and be recoverable. Any help would be appreciated - I'd really like to avoid having to re-import and re-edit all of those clips!

Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

Any and all help is welcome and needed.
Thanks!

Use the backup to put back what you have... something is better than nothing.
Any purchases that are still missing can be downloaded from iTunes.
Downloading past purchases from iTunes
If the iTunesLibrary.itl file was not a part of the backup, your library is gone. Playlists will need to be recreated, playcounts are gone.
