Link to recovered files

Hello all,
I stupidly erased my iTunes library. After some work using Data Rescue I was able to recover most of my files, I think. Is there a way to have iTunes automaticaly recover the links to all the missing files?
At the moment if I re-import the files I get it all duplicate and doing one by one manually will take an eternity. Most of my library was originally imported by hand from my CD collection...
Any tips are greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

Thanks Tom, but where does iWeb keep its files? I did try seting up a dummy site with the same page titles as the site I'm trying to recover. I published that to disk, then tried overwriting that folder with the backed up html and asset files. That failed, I realise, because publishing TO a folder has nothing to do with where iWeb keeps its own information, does it? Any guidance on where that might be, and whether overwriting that would have the desired effect?

  • Recovering files from your ipod

    My computer got reconfigured, so is there a way ro recover files from your ipod to your computer? I have a windows XP not a mac,if that makes a difference.

    Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
    Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
    The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    TuneJack Windows Only
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    iRepo Windows Only
    iPodRip Mac & Windows
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

  • Empty "Recovered Files" folder keeps reappearing in my Trash

    Hello,
    An empty "Recovered Files" folder keeps reappearing in my Trash each time I boot my iMac.
    Is there any way to prevent this empty folder from constantly reappearing?
    Thank you and regards,
    Olivier.

    I think this issue started in Tiger, however there was some freeware that would automatically empty the Trash on start up. I downloaded that software and it worked. It was called "RecoverTrasher". It worked with Snow Leopard, at least until last week when I had to delete my entire preferences file due to an unrelated issue. Now it no longer works on my iMac.
    There is still a link to RecoverTrasher at http://mac.softpedia.com/progDownload/RecoverTrasher-Download-9415.html/, however, I don't know if it works with 10.6.4. This version is 1.4, and it still references "Tiger", but I downloaded it and put it into my log-in items, shut down and then restated. The icon for it briefly appeared in the dock, and the trash is empty, so it appears to have worked at least this first time with Snow Leopard.
    I don't have any relationship with the author of the software, and don't make any representations about the software.

  • Is it possible to recover files after reinstalling my whole Mac OS X?

    I recently reinstalled my whole Mac OS X in my new iMac. But I realized I forgot to backup some files (my Pictures folder!).
    Is there a way I can recover those files? When I reinstalled the software (using the DVD's the iMac came with) I used the option erase and install (I don't remember exactly what it said but it was the complete reinstallation option.
    Thank you.

    It could be - remember that a folder is really just a special kind of file. The files within it are just additional files, linked to it as contents in the file allocation table. And all of them are not necessarily kept as a discreet contiguous chunk of data on the hard disc. So yes, it is possible that the folder itself is fine, but the files within it are not.
    Or, as mentioned, it could be something else, like permissions, or a corrupted iPhoto database, or who knows?
    Did you look at the DR3 FAQ? Does it make any sense to you, given whatever was displayed while the recovery software was running?
    DR3 online FAQ entry:
    I recovered files, but they won’t open. What’s wrong?
    The answer to this question depends on whether you’re talking about files recovered from under the “CBR” folder, or other ones.
    Files recovered by catalog (i.e. Not from the CBR folder)
    It's normal for a small percentage of recovered files to be bad. But if you have checked a number of them and none of them are good, then chances are that they were recovered with wrong ABL setting. Pick out a few files to use as test files, and go back and select a different ABL choice (Expert>Allocation Blocks Layout..menu) and recover and test those few. If you find an ABL setting that gives good results on those files, re-do your big recovery with that setting. For more information, read the material on Allocation Block Layout in section 8.2.1 of the Data Rescue 3 Users Guide.
    Files recovered by content (i.e. from the CBR folder)
    It's also normal for a small percentage of these files to be bad. If the original file was fragmented (not stored on disk in consecutive blocks), then it can not be properly recovered by content. In most normal situations, most files on a user's disk will not be fragmented. Typical fragmentation rates for files tend to be just a few percent.
    Note: The ABL setting plays No role in recovering files under the CBR folder.

  • Numbers generates recovered files on bootup

    Does anyone else experience this?
    Whenever I have used Numbers '09, the next time I do a cold bootup (power down, cold startup) in the trash I find recovered files, always the same one. Like this actual example:
    Trash
    } Recovered files (folder)
    } com.apple.iWork.Numbers183_SFED_2960572041
    } style-thumbail-Basic.tiff
    Always the file "style-thumbail-Basic.tiff". Pages also always produces a similar error; I don't just now recall the file it generates.
    Does anyone else experience this? Yes I've reported it to Apple. Yes I've repaired permissions. Yes I've checked for disk errors with Disk Utility.
    It doesn't really seem to be a problem, other than the fact that there are recovered files means some kind of error has occurred.

    I identified these 'recovered files' linked to Numbers.
    They are the thumbnails of recents documents which are no longer available.
    On my machine, I sat the number of recents documents to twenty.
    On every morning, during the startup process, the preferences file is replace by a script which I wrote, by a clean one designed to get rid of possible corruption.
    As the stored thumbnails are no longer matching the 'recent documents' described in the installed prefs file, they are dropped and I retrieve them in the trash.
    So, don't worry.
    The only surprising feature is that they appear as 'Recovered'

  • Muse crashes on saving recovered file.

    Muse is not allowing me to save a recovered file. Everytime I try to save it it come up with this message:
    [B$/fromIBounds] TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null object reference.
    When I reopen Muse it asks if I would like to recover the same file again and gives the message above when trying to save that.
    Just seeing if I can rescue this morning's work without having to copy-paste everything out of this recovered version.

    Brad, Jesses
    Have you updated to Yosemite, and then it happened?
    If so, I believe a reinstallation would be called for, see 6) below.
    Otherwise, you may have a look at the list in general.
    The following is a general list of things you may try when the issue is not in a specific file (you may have tried/done some of them already); 1) and 2) are the easy ones for temporary strangenesses, and 3) and 4) are specifically aimed at possibly corrupt preferences); 5) is a list in itself, and 6) is the last resort.
    1) Close down Illy and open again;
    2) Restart the computer (you may do that up to 3 times);
    3) Close down Illy and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift/Cmd+Option+Shift during startup (easy but irreversible);
    4) Move the folder (follow the link with that name) with Illy closed (more tedious but also more thorough and reversible);
    5) Look through and try out the relevant among the Other options (follow the link with that name, Item 7) is a list of usual suspects among other applications that may disturb and confuse Illy, Item 15) applies to CC, CS6, and maybe CS5);
    Even more seriously, you may:
    6) Uninstall, run the Cleaner Tool (if you have CS3/CS4/CS5/CS6/CC), and reinstall.

  • Multiple HTML-files in one stack / link another HTML-file in a stack

    Hi,
    I want to integrate a webapp (html/js) into a stack of a dps-folio. All the HTML works fine ... all no problem, but at clicking the first link on the initial HTML-document the next (local) HTML-File is opened in a slider with a "ready"/"Fertig"-bar at the top. But I want, that all html files are seamlessly loaded in the same view.
    At this point i found: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/digitalpubsuite/using/WS67cb9e293e2f1f60-8ad81e812b10bfd837-80 00.html and i made the file "NativeOverlays.config" and moved it to the described location. After that, the behaviour was correct in the desktop-preview-app of the DPS, but it still fails on the iPad-Adobe-Viewer.
    How can i link between HTML-files without any interuption or sliding?
    Thank you!

    Hi Tim,
    Thanks for replying. I have looked for "PDFBookBinder class" in xml publisher user guide for ver 5.6.2. I didn't get any reference of this text. Can you please guide me to a tutorial/link where i can get more information about this class.
    Also, i originally thought of similar to your second logic, as my design basis. Oracle process generates the xml file in output directory which i can get. What i didn't get is how do i "pick them up and merge" using publisher. Also, is there way to do this merging process using pl/sql ? Can you please give little more information on your second approach.
    My original plan of action is that i will create a report set in which i will call oracle seeded report for all 7 payrolls in a sequential manner. Then using the child requests of the report set i will get to 7 xml files generated by seeded oracle process. Then the piece i am not sure of , i will use those 7 files to generate a single xml file having payroll name as tree top for each output. Once single xml is ready, i can easily design a template and register the process to generate output as Excel.This process will not require me to actually change any data or do any calculation. It will only reformatting the feilds we see and abiity to see all 7 payroll at one time rather then entering these numbers manually into an excel to do analysis.
    Please provide your feedback, if you think above plan is not feasible or need corrections.
    Best Regards,
    Ankur

  • Creating a link to a file on a Windows server?

    I am trying to create a link to a file located on a Windows server that I can email to users and they can click on the link and it will open the actual file.
    Here is what I have done so far:
    smb://server/sharedfolder/document.doc
    The user can click on the link but it just opnes up the "sharedfolder" and then you have to find the file you want and then open it and that works.
    I need the link to be able to just open the actual file.
    Is there a way to do this??
    Thanks

    Since it's a file download, there's no reason to add the target="_blank", I'm guessing your file is 404 for some reason which would give you a blank window per the target.
    Make sure the case structure of the file and link are identical. Servers are case sensitive, a server sees CheckIPApp.zip and checkIPApp.zip as totally different files. Your local OS sees them as the same thing so during local testing it will work, when uploaded, it won't.
    Make sure you've loaded the file onto the server at the exact location specified by the link. It should be in a folder called "Zip Files" that resides on the same directory level as the page that the link is on.
    You may also want to normalize your file names. They should be all lower case alpha-numerics without any spaces (use hyphens or underscores instead) and without special characters ($%&*). You can use DW's Files window to change names and DW will fix the links automatically.

  • If you delete files from your computer, BlackBerry Link deletes the file or collection from your device?

    I found the below description from the help of BlackBerry Link, however i never get it work.
    Any one know whats wrong or what i need to set?
    About deleting music, pictures, videos, and documents?
    After you sync your music, picture, video, or document files between your computer and your BlackBerrydevice, if you delete a file or a collection of files, the following actions occur:
    If you delete files from your computer, BlackBerry Link deletes the file or collection from your device.
    If you delete files from your device, BlackBerry Link doesn't delete the file or collection from your computer.
    For information about how to delete a file from your device, tap the Help app on the home screen of your device.

    Hey hkfoolman,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Thanks for the question.
    Go into BlackBerry Link and click on the BlackBerry and then click on Options.  Make sure you have Music, Pictures, Videos and Documents checkmarked for synchronization.  Once these are checked, try to remove the files.
    Let me know if you have any more questions.

  • How do i Secure & recover file from shared folder

    Hi All,
    I have Windows server 2008 R2 environment and one shared folder created on this with restricted permission by file sharing & security, now 1. I want to add one more restriction that owner of the folder should not able to delete that file? If this is
    not available with Microsoft then
    2. How do i recover file which deleted from MAP drive...
    Please help me to resolve this issue...
    Kalpesh Chauhan

    As to your first problem, I am not so familiar. But, as to the second problem, I think I can help.
    In fact, I have ever also accidentally deleted my hard drive files. In order to re-access them, I have also posted my question in forums, just like you. Fortunately, after browsing many related answers and threads, I just know that a third
    party data recovery program can be a good chance to go on.
    So, I follow some instructions in these forums and select three drive recovery freeware to go on, including Recuva, iCare Data Recovery Free and TestDisk and so on.
    Finally, I have restored all my needed data back successfully with these freeware.
    So, I hope it will also help you out.
    PS: Never forget to back up everything important on different hard drives or places in case of any similar data recovery problems in the future.

  • Adober Reader 8.1.2 will not open new page links to .pdf file

    Since upgrading to version 8, I cannot open a pdf file (from IE) if it opens in a new window. It opens local files, and links on pages that go directly to the pdf file, but not if the link opens the file in a new window. This means that I cannot open such things as my VISA statement, etc. What now?
    I have Windows XP on a Dell desktop. If it makes any difference, I also have Adobe Pagemaker 7.0 and Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0 loaded on this computer.
    I really need this to work.
    Thanks.

    Nothing showed in the Event Viewer log. However, just to be thorough:
    1. I uninstalled reader 6.0.1 and rebooted. (all pdf became unassociated)
    2. I deleted any acr*.tmp anywhere on my computer.
    3. I deleted The 6.0 folder from the application updates path
    4. I deleted the 6.0 folder from my install path.
    5. I deleted the Adobe folder from my temp directory.
    6. I ran CCleaner, cleaned app files and registry and repeated.
    7. I rebooted and repeated step 6.
    8. I opened Event Viewer, backed up and cleared all events from the log.
    9. I installed 8.1.2 (all pdf became associated with Acrobat Reader)
    10. Under Event Viewer/Application the event log displays: Product: Adobe Reader 8.1.2 -- Installation operation completed successfully.
    11. Under Event Viewer/System the event log displays: The Windows Installer service entered the stopped state.
    12. I tried to launch: the shortcut, a pdf and the exe file.
    13. There are no additional events added to any level of the event log.
    14. There is no indication of activity from Reader in the Task Manager: Applications or Processes. It never appears in either.
    As a final note, I know the 8.1.2 install file is not corrupted because I copied it to another computer where it installed and runs just fine.

  • How to create link for pdf file in discoverer worksheet

    Hi All,
    I would like to create a link for pdf file into discoverer report (worksheet).
    So that i can open linked pdf file using worksheet link.
    Can any one tell me about this?
    Thanks
    Ravi

    Hi,
    I think the best way to do this is to use a database directory so that you can access your pdf file as a bfile. Then create a mod_plsql procedure that sets the mime type and downloads the pdf file. You then create a calculation in the EUL then returns the URL to your mod_plsql procedure. You can then include this calculation as a hyperlink in your worksheet.
    It is not as difficult as it sounds. Please let me know if you need anymore details.

  • Links to excel file on safari page suddenly stopped working, but work in firefox.  Happened yesterday. Help!

    I have a webpage with links mapped from an icon to two excel files. They aren't working. I checked the html. it is identical to two links to .png files and the location is correct, but nothing happens when you click the link.  I have reset, emptied cache and thrown out the plists,
    The html reads:
    <img usemap="#Curio_Map" src="Steps%20in%20Detail(3D691625).png" />
    <map name="Curio_Map">
    <area href="Assets/7B8E04AB/Strategic%20Planning%20Detail%20Dairy.xlsx" shape="polygon" coords="455,66 844,66 844,296 455,296" >
    <area href="Assets/18C769C4/Initial%20questions%20for%20Strategic%20Planning.xls" shape="polygon" coords="14,71 431,71 431,293 14,293" >
    </map>
    The Assets folder is in the same folder as the index.html page with frames and the page within the frame. 
    The html for the .png files that do work is:
    <img usemap="#Curio_Map" src="Supporting%20Doc(698C969A).png" />
    <map name="Curio_Map">
    <area href="Assets/9D8D3352/P%20of%20PDSA%20Altresco.pdf" shape="polygon" coords="22,126 102,126 102,192 22,192" >

    </map>
    Look the same to me!  Why does one work and the other not, and why did it happen all of a sudden?  Any thoughts?
    Dan

    It sounds like the page has somehow got stuck in the cache of
    a server
    somewhere. Delete the file from the server, and then call the
    page.
    Hopefullt you should then get a 404 error. Then FTP the page
    back. This
    should hopefully clear out the cache.
