Lion Server: How can I restore OD after a crash ?

Hello all,
the issue is not new but I found no way how to repair the OD database. I admit I am no expert and I rely upon senior advice.
I ran the restore command as described here to no avail:
http://www.prestonlee.com/2009/07/08/recovering-a-corrupt-openldap-database-on-o sx-server/
What happened ?
After a Finder crash we had to re-boot our Lion Server (10.7.5) with the power button and after that the Network Accounts were all gone because OD's LDAP, Kerberos and Password Server were no longer running.
I re-stored the server from a TM back-up just the day before and I got back the network accounts but this is probably just a last resort.
What is the quickest way to restore OD services in Lion Server ?
Thanks for your help,
Twistan
P.S.
The TM restore from the previous day's backup did NOT RESTORE the following:
1) calendars of network accounts
2) Enrolled devices (profile manager)
I shall post these experiences in a separate thread.

If you originally bought the iWork apps through the Mac App Store (doubtful based on your profile) you can reinstall from the Mac App Store using your Apple ID. The Mac App Store does require at least Mac OS 10.6.6.
If you originally installed from a retail boxed DVD, use that DVD to reinstall.
If you downloaded the trial & bought a serial number electronically, you can redownload the trial & apply the serial number you were given. If you do not have the e-mail with the serial number you can get the serial number from the list of online purchases in your Apple Store account. You do not need a new serial number from Apple. Go to the Store tab at the top of this page, click Account (small, faint gray word next to the cart icon in the upper right), click on Downloadable Software Purchases & sign in.

I have Time Machine that I used to back up my old computer. It was running snow leopard. My MacBook died, so I got a new one which is running Lion. how can I restore the data from the time capsule to my new Mac?

In technical support, sometimes you have to make educated guesses. I'm sorry that you were offended.
iTunes does prompt when it is going to erase a device, and the message is clear.
She said in her message that she was able to successfully sync the old ipad. This indicated to me that itunes wiping the data was not an issue, because either it had been setup at the apple store (in which case it doesn't actually wipe the ipad despite saying it will*) (*based on a single case I saw), or because the itunes media folder was migrated.
Furthermore, my solution was to tell her how to backup her ipad (by either doing it manually, or as a last resort, by deleting the corrupt backup -- that she couldn't access anyway.)
I got that last part of the instructions from the "Taking Control of your iphone" book which I found samples of when I did a google search for "corrupted backup itunes".
She marked this as a solution, so it worked for her.

Thank you very much in advance!

G'day mate,
You are posting in the 10.7 Lion client forum, rather than the 10.7 Lion Server forum.
Thus it's quite likely that no-one here know the answer.
Here's the link to the correct forum:

Good luck!

Restart Apache with "sudo apachecrl restart"

How can I restore bookmarks after I pressed clear data for Firefox on Android

I have pressed clear data for Firefox in Android Application manager. On SGS4 it is Settings->Options->Application manager->Fitefox->Clear data. Can I restore my bookmarks now?

Android's Clear Data button completely deletes your Firefox settings files. I am not aware of any way to undo that unless there is an "unerase" tool for Android files as there are on desktop operating systems.
Some ways you might have made a copy of those bookmarks:
* Did you ever set up Firefox Sync and sync the bookmarks to a Firefox Account?
* Did you ever use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/android/addon/copy-profile/ Copy Profile add-on] in Firefox for Android?

How do I restore iWork after a crash?

I used to have access to Pages, Keynote and Numbers. After my system crashed I don't see them. How do I restore them to my unit if they weren't on the Time Machine (had to cut out some software to make room for data files)? Should I have a disk or could it have been downloaded? I don't show anything in my AppStore inventory but do know that I used to used the product.

How can i restore memory after deleting all photos on my iPad 8.1.2

iPad 4
8.1.2
Photos; not iPhoto app
Under GENERAL I cannot restore my capacity memory after deleting all my photos from the iPad.
I do not store photos in the Cloud. I do not use Photo Stream
I have reset my iPad as well as checked in Image Capture for possible photos still there.
I have also deleted last 30 days of photos.

In iOS 8.1.2 photos that are deleted from the Camera Roll are moved to the Recently Deleted album. They remain there for 30 days unless you delete them again from that album. The Recently Deleted album was created because so many people complained that they deleted photos and wanted them back. The Recently Deleted album gives people 30 days to change their mind about deleting photos. For the rest of us, it's kind of a pan to have to delete the photos twice to free up the storage space.
Oh, and there is no longer an iPhoto that works on iOS devices running iOS 8.1.2.

How can i restore files after i've emptied the trash bin?

I accidently deleted some photos and also emptied the trash bin. I also haven't backed up my computer in a while. (unfortunately).
Is there any way I can restore the photos?

You'll have to stop using the boot volume so you don't write to it and create and boot from a external boot drive, then install Data Rescue on that to run against the internal drive to recover files.
If you write to the boot drive, even surfing the web does that, you can overwrite your deleted data.
Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
If that is too much for you, you can use the local PC/Mac software repair shops, they do data recovery in the hundreds of dollars range.
The "four figures" data recovery is really only needed if the drive is mechanically dead and it has to be dissected.

TSNA - My system crashed 1/2 way through opening up Parallels. I use Parallels for Quicken & Quickbooks only. My system locked up & I had to power down to get any response on the screen. When it started back up I got a screen that said Restore from Time Machine, Safe Startup (or some such words) and one other choice. NONE of which would do anything. - No response to any clicking, entering, up down etc. I called over my Apple friend and he could not get it going,. Ended up having to Reload O/S from the startup disks and reformat my hard drive. Reformatted because I wanted to get rid of Parallels which has painfully slowed down my entire system. I never keep it open unless I am working with Quickbooks or Quicken. Therefore I had decided to start using Boot Camp anyway. So I would have had to reformat my hard drive to do that regardless of this freeze up of my system.
This whole thing has taken days to get my documents off Time Capsule. Time Machine would then not restore to my "new" or reformatted hard drive, so all the files on the Time Capsule were hidden. Total nightmare !
Because now I can't get iPhoto APP back on my system as it is not available and have to use the new PHOTO which I hear is not good.

Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?

Mac OS no longer available after trying to remove Windows on Bootcamp. How can I restore Mac OS without the Mac HDD in options?
So what I did was, I had bought my iMac from a shop and asked them to do bootcamp for me. However, they installed 32 bit instead of 64. My fault, I did not make my self clear about it. So after it has been delivered to my house, I realized that I wanted the 64 bit. I tried to remove windows on bootcamp but honestly, I have not experienced this before. So I failed. I believe, I did something wrong.
So I opened the iMac and it keeps asking me to go to windows. Windows OS also corrupted.
I tried the Option Key but the only option is Windows 7 only. So using a different keyboard, I press option and it only shows Windows HDD and the Mac HDD has gone.
What am I going to do? How can I restore Mac OS without the HDD anymore?

How can i restore Lion 10.7?

i want to restore os x v10.7 but i can not reinstall without apple id. I bought OS X Lion built in with my macbook pro. how can i restore it?

You will need to find a copy of that file to replace the one you deleted. Or you can try reinstalling Lion:
Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
