Is there any ways how to retrieve this folder: /var/db/volinfo.database. Luckily the files in the trash are not deleted yet. But what shall I do now?
Hi,
I am using Mavericks and my MacBook is MacBook Pro with Retina Mid 2012.
And I made a little silly mistake, I deleted db folder, which is this:
/var/db/volinfo.database
Luckily, the files in Trash have not been deleted (I am not sure). because the trash stops me from emptying the trash.
However, I cannot go into Users and Groups Preferences folder in system preferences app.
And also, every time I tried to move back the db folder into the right place with Put Back Option,
it will go into Finder's username and password, asking me to enter my information. But it "shakes" back at me as if it is rejecting my account.
What shall I do now?

Are you running an administer account? 1) If you delete that file, it is automatically recreated. 2) You would still be able to empty your trash. What is the error message you are receiving?
Open Terminal. Post the output of the following command:
cat /private/var/db/volinfo.database

I accidentally deleted a contact but stupidly i haven't ever done a backup. When i search my i phone, text messages that i received from this deleted contact still appear but they aren't in my message inbox. Is there anyway i can retrieve this contact??
Thank you!!!With no backup? No. Are you not syncing your contacts either over-the-air or with a supported application on your computer?

Hi, my IPAD was stolen last April 30, 2014 here in the Philippines. Is there any way how to locate or LOCK it so anybody cant use it? Thank you
Here is some guidance ... What to do if your iOS device is lost or stolen
And some more ... Reporting a lost or stolen Apple product
Remember, take a note of the incident number when you have reported it to the police ... without that, any domestic insurance claim will not receive attention. -
My iphone screen and lock button are broken, I bought a new phone and want to get all the information off my old phone. My old phone will not sync with itunes because it has a pass code on it. I have no way to enter the pass code. Is there any way to get around this so I can still retrieve my information from it?
If you are using the computer that you normally sync with, it should sync without entering the passcode. However, if this is not the computer you normally sync with, you cannot get past the passcode, it has to be entered.

I just got the iPhone 5 and took it on a trip and took a bunch of photos on it. I just came home and hooked it up to my Mac for the first time and hit restore. All of my trip pictures disappeared. Is there any way I can retrieve them?
Did you by chance have photo stream turned on? If so then they might be there. When you restored your phone it deleted everything and they will be unretreivable from your computer.

virus protection in vmware or on my running OS X 10.8.2??plz help me out
First, you can install Microsoft's Security Essentials in the Win 7 VM and keep it up-to-date. Second, you can turn off Sharing in Fusion's System Settings to keep the VM environment separate from your Mac. Third, you can look into Sophos Anti-Virus http://www.sophos.com/en-us/products/free-tools/sophos-antivirus-for-mac-home-ed ition/download.aspx for the Mac host. -

Our Windows PC crashed with all our music on it. There are copies of both purchased (thru iTunes store) and from our own CDs on an external HD in a backup file. They are not linked to a Media file. Is there any way I can put this music on my new computer?
The syncing of music is one way, computer to phone. See this helpful document from a fellow user. Credit goes to the author.

I've copied my itunes library onto an external hard drive. Is there any way I can do this and delete songs from my PC without also deleting from the external drive? Already lost two songs!!! I just want a back up - using a work PC and don't want others accessing my songs. Hope someone can help. Thanks!
I see. To get a better idea of what is being stored where please download and run the script iTunesInfo which should output something like this:
I'm interested in the block of 4 results starting ITL location. If your profile name shows up somewhere replace it with <Name>. It is also worth checking under Edit > Preferences > Advanced to see where iTunes thinks your media is supposed to go. My script estimates the setting based on the location of the first media file it can actually find.

My iPhone says that my charger is not supported, but it's the charger that came with my phone. Is there any way I can solve this issue?
Try cleaning out the phone's port, of pocket fluff and such. Carefully. And check the mains adapter similarly, but less likely.

Whenever I try to sync my iPod Touch 5th gen with iTunes I get an error message saying "The iPod "*****" could not be synced because the sync session failed to start". Is there any way I can fix this?
B-rock, thanks for posting the above. I actually have the same issue, running Windows XP and I don't have that backup location, \Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup\. When I go to Documents and Settings\(username)\ there's a AppData folder followed by:\LocalLow\DataMngr\ .
I have the latest update, 5.0.1 and I have the iPod Touch 3rd gen.
I have tried removing itunes and all that is associated with it then reinstalling and keep getting the same message. I've reset my ipod thinking that would help but still, no backup.
In iTunes, Edit, Preference, Device there are no backups.
What am I doing wrong, can you help?
Thank you! -
I have Acrobat 9.5 and when I try to create>pdf from scanner, it displays an error "Adobe acrobat has stopped working". Is there any way I can use this functionality?
Provide you have Acrobat 9 installed in an OS for which Acrobat 9 is compatible then you can use the functionality.
As well, you need a scanner connected, powered up, and the software installed. Acrobat 9 "prefers" TWAIN drivers.
Always visit the scanner vendor's site and download - install the latest greatest software.
n.b., The Acrobat 9.x product family passed into "End of Support" mid-year 2013.
As well the Acrobat 9.x product family is not compatible with contemporary OSs.
Be well...
