Language files recovery

Hi, I'm not sure if i accidentally deleted some unwanted language files in os X yosemite, wondering 1) if its a big deal and if so 2) how do i check if i deleted them or not and 3) will a system update in the future automatically recover those language files? thank you very much!

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
If you have deleted language files you have modified system folders, so you may have issues. It is up to you (your Mac may be working properly), but I would recommend you to reinstall OS X through OS X Recovery to get back the system files. Anyway, a future OS X maintenance update should introduce those files again.

Reiunstalling Lion and/or the English language files

I accidently deleted nearly ever English language file whilst intentionally deleting all languages to generate more disk space in my system. Now I find that things like Safari only open up in teh Spanish language, I can't open Finder from the Dock as well as other software.
I want tor restore my operating system to it's normal state but as the operating system was preinstalled on my iMac I seem to be hitting barriers no matter what I try.
Is there a way that allow sme to re-download the operating system and install it on a USB or DVD and then do a clean boot and install from there?
regards
JR

you don't need or want any utilities. When you boot to the Recovery HD you have 4 options. one of those is Reinstall Mac OS X. That is the one you want.
Are you holding down Command+r and getting to the Recovery HD?
You could try the Internet Recovery HD system. Hold down the Command+Option+r keys until you see a spinning globe in the center of the screen. Have the computer connected to your internet router with an Ethernet cable. That will boot the system from over the internet. Again select Reinstall Mac OS X.

N8: No file recovery for files stored in mass memo...

Greetings everyone, I am experiencing a lot of trouble retrieving files that were accidentally deleted on the mass memory. I have tried all sorts of file recovery programs but they DO NOT read the mass memory. They can't even see it as a drive on the computer whenever I connect via usb cable. Please advise me as to what I can do to get those files back.
I wish I saved them to the memory card...
Many thanks and kind regards.

1. Connect the phone to the PC
2. On the phone: Tap the small status icons in the upper right corner of the screen
3. Tap the connections icon in the upper left corner of the pop-up (two horizontal lines with arrows)
4. Select USB
5. Select Data Transfer mode / Mass Storage mode (or what it is called in your phone's language)
- On my N8 it is the second choice from the top, under the default "Nokia Ovi Suite" mode
Wait for Windows to select the proper drivers and pop-up the autoplay dialog
Now there are 2 new drive letters in Windows File Manager to work with
I hope that you now can retrieve the missing files?
Best regards,
Hans

ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE FILE TO .CLASS --- URGENT!!!!

Can someone please tell me how to convert a MIPS assembly language file to a .class so I can run it in a JVM? It's URGENT (there's a bus about to hit me and the driver will only stop if I can tell him how to do this).

Can I use gpt to recreate/unerase a partition table? (Rebuild the GPT/GUID partition table?) I don't want to do FILE recovery.

(Yes, I've googled a bunch and read threads like this one already.)
Can I use gpt or some other app to recreate/unerase a partition table? That is, how can I rebuild a disk's GPT/GUID partition table?) I don't want to do FILE recovery.
What happened: Instead of erasing a single partition off a disk with many partitions, the entire partition table was erased (using Disk Utility, w/o deleting the underlying files). Somehow the "Erasing a disk deletes all data on all its partitions." warning message was missed.
I have a copy of the output of df, with the number of blocks in each partition, from just prior to the erasure, so I should be able to recreate the GPT/GUID partition table. Editing the GPT with a hex editor is not feasible. Simply recreating the partitions with Disk Utility will overwrite the key filesystem tables on each partition, and I don't want to do that, plus Disk Utility doesn't allow me to specify exact partition sizes anyway.
Surely there's an app for rebuilding the partition table (other than emacs' hexl-mode!) for recreating/unerasing a partition table when the partition sizes and orders are known? I've looked at the advertising for a bunch of recovery software and none of them clearly indicate that they will do what I want.
I guess I can try using gpt on a copy of the reformatted drive I've made with dd, and see what happens. But perhaps someone knows of a tool that should do what I need, or knows if gpt is that tool or not.
There are answers and tools that will do FILE recovery - search for files and recover the ones that aren't fragmented or deleted. As far as I can find, they just look for files on the disk, and don't pay much, if any attention to the filesystem info or directory heirarchy, which in this case is valuable. Of course I could send it in to DriveSavers, or the like. But none of that seems necessary, and the scavenging file recovery apps won't do the job well,
E.g. some are mentioned here:
I don't want to do FILE recovery.
Thanks for any help.
The links in this post are to pages describing the underlined term, e.g. the man pages for df and gpt.

Aperture has the ability to work with files in their existing location. They are called "referenced masters." When you import images, you should select the "In their current location" in the "Store Files:" drop down box. Have a read of the documentation for full specifics. Unsure how you can resolve your duplication; might be some work but next time have a read of the manual first
Information for versions is stored in the Aperture database (library file). The masters can be inside the library file itself, or they can be somewhere else.

File recovery after system recovery?

One of our students has a laptop that has had a system recovery performed on it by someone else by holding the zero key while pressing the power button. I'm trying to see if any file recovery is possible using standard forensic tools or suites. I haven't been able to find out exactly how the system recovery process works so I don't know what I have to work with. Does anyone know how the original partition is cleaned up before copying the files from the hidden backups?
Thanks in advance for any help or information you can offer.

Same thing happened to me except that they were audio MP3 files. Where did all those WAV files go?

File Recovery Question

Hi there, before I ask my question, let me explain my situation:
I lost all of my data off my hard drive partition, and used the program "Stellar Phoenix Macintosh 4.0". It is a recovery program that allowed me to view and retrieve my lost files from my deleted partition.
It managed to recover EVERY file in its original file structure.
Now, when I try to view pictures, play songs, or do ANYTHING with these files, they don't work, however the FILE SIZE makes sense: Pictures are 1mb-5mb. Songs are 2mb-15mb, etc.
For example: I get this error when trying to view jpgs:
The file filename.jpg could not be opened.
It may be damaged or use a file format that Preview doesn’t recognize.
I changed the permissions on the file so everyone can "read & write" but that still didn't help. I tried copying the files to another drive, but still no luck.
If someone could help me either with making the files readable, or a different setting on the recovery program, that would be great.
Is it possible that the files were viewed in 10.6.2 and I recovered them in 10.6.0?
Any suggestions would be appreciated!

30 day trial, no money spent.
So why would anyone buy this Keith, if they could get full use out of it for up to 30 days, when just 30 hours would probably do ? Excuse the rhetorical question.
What is noticeable about the various file recovery programs is they let you sample them but mostly require payment if you want to seriously use them.
It is remarkable in the software universe of freeware, and OpenSource ware, that software recovery are the exception and give no free lunches, or at least none that I know.
*I suspect you will have to pay for this app to facilitate your file recovery*.
I'm not sure which one, but there is one that lets you restore one file, just to prove itself, but to get the rest you have to buy the software. Can't remember which one that is but see if you can find it, at least to prove something is recoverable before you fork out the money.
On the matter of creating a backup image using Disk Utility, did you do it according to these procedures?
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
Still, if it has no mountable file system, I doubt if it can be created after the fact.
Sorry to be unable to throw some sunshine on your problems, but gee you are gonna have a great backup strategy in place after this. ...a little ray there.
P.S. You need to contact the providers of these software to clarify things - your expectations, payment, whatever.

File Recovery Software

A software bug has apparently erased one of my email folders. I don't use Apple Mail.
Can anyone recommend a good, reliable file recovery program that might be successful in recovering the previous file?
I'm avoiding that partition in hopes of preventing any overwriting of the deleted data.
Thanks.

If the mail was stored on the server, but was checked before it was taped, the internet provider might be able to do a data recovery on their own machine to see if they can find a trace of it.
If it was stored locally, you need to know the local file name of where it was stored, and recover it to the location that it stored it.
Definitely stored locally. I've become very security conscious, and avoid almost everything cloud related. This year, plan on doing taxes and next years records on an OS many have never seen, and not connected to the internet. So, it's been a lo-o-o-o-o-o-o-ong time since anything identity related has been stolen from me.
This isn't the first time I'm used recovery software, but the first time on a Mac. First experience doing it was on an Atari 800.
What e-mail program did you use? These programs can recover such files, if not too much else has been written to the hard disk since the file was lost:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-1689
Leaving the machine on lessens the chances it can be recovered locally.
I use Thunderbird, but I seriously consider switching if I could find an equivalent program. That has been a fruitless search.
The attempts at recovery using TB quite possibly overwrote the needed file at the outset. It all depends on how the filesystem selects the vacant sectors to write changes to.
Have you used any of the programs listed in the article?
I've opted to not try to recover the data, and have installed a back up from Time Machine. But, because I was troubleshooting issues copying massive amounts of data between hard drives, I'd turned off Time Machine, so the back up is missing some emails for all accounts. But, I have the accounts set to leave messages on the server, so just have to learn how to get those messages. I'd forgotten I'd done that, so hopefully there will be a way to just get the ones that are missing.

What's a good file recovery program for a MacBook Pro running IS 10.7.5?

Hey gang - I ordered a miniStack 4TB external hard drive from OWC a few months ago during a long overseas trip. I finally unwrapped it and started dumping data to the drive from the 1TB drives (also from OWC) I used via my MacBook Pro. I connected the 4TB to the laptop with FW800.
I came back from the gym (gone about two hours) and saw a "the drive wasn't disconnected properly..." window. There was a clicking noise coming from the drive, which means mechanical failure.
I went into Disk Utility and the drive is there but it's grayed out. I changed cables to USB 3.0. Unplugged the drive. Shut down the laptop. Then went through the start up and nadda.
So before I run off a disk repair place in town and spend $1000, what's a good hard drive recovery program to use to pull the data? I only dumped 1.5TBs until the 4TB and have other drives to dump that data too if I need to.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Bill.

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. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service, such as Data Recovery by DriveSavers, which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

How do I purge foreign language files from OS X, 10.8, without using purchased software?

I jumped from Snow Leopard on an older MBP to a new MBP with Mtn Lion already installed, and though my older MBP had all but English and Spanish languages deleted from the Snow Leopard install, it appears that I do now have many foreign languages I would rather not have on my hard disk. I ran across an app from Stellar Software, Speedup Mac, that has a demo version, but without paying the $29 purchase price purging of language files cannot be done. (It was this app that showed me that all those other languages were hidden on my drive.) I am simply wondering if there is lesser expensive apps for stripping languages from 10.8 or simple command line instructions that I (not a usual Terminal user) could use to accomplish this "downsizing". BTW, I'm not too keen on reinstalling 10.8 just to purge the unwanted languages. I've got plenty of hard drive space (yes, it is HDD not Flash-based) but I think this new MBP would start up faster w/o the extra files. Despite going from an MBP with a Core2Duo to an MBP with a Corei5, my new machine is way slower starting up. Much gracias everyone.

I recommend that you do not do this. Extraneous language files do not occupy much space, and removing them has been known to break future upgrades for those apps. There is also no way to undo their removal, short of restoring your system from a backup.
Your computer's performance is unaffected by the presence of these localized language files. Deleting them will result in no performance improvement whatsoever. Localized language resources are stored in resource folders contained within each app. They load what is required according to your specifed settings in System Preferences.

Language files for non-official Skype languages av...

Skype bundles a number of languages with the standard installation file but there are more languages available for the interface. Some of these are really hard to find on the forum or web so to make life easier, some translators have opened a project on SourceForge (download your lang file here) where you can now get all the .lang / .ts and .qm files (as far as we know). To install in Windows, go to Skype and select Tools » Change Language » Load Skype Language file. To install on Linux, check the wiki on SourceForge.
If you would like to continue translating into your language or if you want to start a new non-official translation, please visit the project on Transifex
Please note:
They're not all complete translations (but you're welcome to help!)
They're not official so if any translations are wrong, that's not Skype's fault

File recovery and file structure?

Bummer: Some combo of Excel, Google Earth, and my involvement have left my Sandisk thumbdrive corrupted. Disk Utility sees the drive but can't mount it and can't repair it. I used Sandisk's RescuePRO software which pulled off lots of files, but most of them had been deleted and few were actually the latest copies. Lots of the recovered files had odd file types like .MOF, .ANM, and Illustrator and Codewarrior files were just gone. And (finally, here's the question): is there any way to handle Pages and Keynote files when you're in a desperate file-recovery situation? They are bundles of xml, tiff, and other files, and on recovery, all these bits seem to emerge as separate files. Is there any way to put Humpty Dumpty together again, or are data from these apps particularly bad news when disk failure happens?
Thanks for any advice, philosophy, tips or tricks.

Is your SanDisk drive formatted MS-DOS or Mac OS Extended? If the former you will have a major problem because Mac files are not properly saved on MS-DOS formatted disks. If the SanDisk recovery program is not a Mac program, then it probably knows nothing about Mac files. All of this would seriously complicate trying to recover file created by Mac programs.
There are file recovery programs for Mac OS X, but I have no idea if they can recover files from an MS-DOS formatted thumbdrive. You would need to talk to the developers about it. Your choices are Data Rescue II (www.prosofteng.com) and File Salvage (www.subrosasoft.com.)

Re Mackeeper Smart Uninstaller have done Files recovery how do I get it all back as before?

Question. I know this might sound really dumb but I installed MacKeeper thinking it was an Apple product. I used Smart Uninstaller to removed what I thought was a list of unnecessary stuff from my laptop. When I realised it wasn't unecessary I ran the Files Recovery. It took 24 hours in total and now there is an enormous list of items to be restored. I want to just put it all back, is that possible? I am confused - do I need to buy an external drive to do this? PLEASE HELP. Thanks B

I only use my Mac in English US. I see there a tone of Language Files with each CS 5 app. Can I safely delete these? I know in previous versions of CS for mac doing so caused problems. Is this still the case?

Where have you downloaded these files from ? If not from here .. try re-downloading...
