Losing data in projects

I know this is a broad question but I am having regular crashes and when it does, I am losing a fair bit of work.
Just had a situation where I finished an 30 sec edit and I did a render OK... went back afterwards to make a small timing adjustment, and the app crashed... Upon reoping FCX I discovered I lost about 2 hours work. It somehow reverted back to a version just a few minutes after beginning the project. I HATE this so called 'auto-save'.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much.

No ideas for recovering your lost work at this stage, but anecdotal evidence suggests a fresh clean install of OS X plus FCP X can provide a more stable working environment.
Other than that, I'd recommend you get in the habit of creating duplicates of your project sequences as you go along in order to preserve versions that you can revert to at a later date if needs be. Just select the project in the Project Library and choose File menu > Duplicate Project... (or Cmd D).
Cheers

What is the proper way to convert a VHD from dynamic to basic without losing data?

Hi,
What is the proper way to convert a VHD from dynamic to basic without losing data?
Our VM is running Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
Thanks in advanced

Hi efebo,
"After you convert a basic disk to a dynamic disk, you cannot change the dynamic volumes back to partitions. Instead, you must delete all dynamic volumes on the disk and then use the
Convert To Basic Disk command. If you want to keep your data, you must first back it up or move it to another volume. "
Please refer to following link:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731274.aspx
You can try to backup the dynamic volume via Windows Server Backup then restore it to a new basic VHD file ( the space is recommended to be larger than or equal to the old one ) .
Hope it helps

How to reset without losing data?

LS,
Is there a way to reset my iPhone (through itunes or other) that will prevent me from losing data?
Situation:
I have an iPhone 3G with ios4. Saturday night my phone acted weird, it would lock the screen every few seconds without me promting it (automatic screen lock is off).
To reset the phone I pressed the home button and the on/off button simultamiously. Instead of simply resetting it stuck on the Aplle logo.
Trying to get it going again, it went out.
Since than whenever I try to switch the phone on, it asks for a reset through iTunes (picture of usb + itunes in screen).
Since I have not been able to synchronise the phone for a few weeks, I was wondering if there is a workaround to prevend loss of data (for instance the recent photo's).
I sincerely hope there is a workaround.
Cheers

Well, if you have a backup, that will save your text messages, settings, camera roll etc.
Not the music, photos, videos, contact etc.
So there is a way to restore without losing most of the important information. Since the music, videos and others are theoetically on your Mac/PC.

HT204053 I have one icloud id on my mac and want to share with an ipad with a different icloud id. if I create a new id for both of us will this work? My concern is losing data on either device.

I have one icloud id on my mac and want to share photos, calendars, etc with an ipad with a different icloud id. if I create a new id for both of us will this work? My concern is losing data on either device. (the mac book pro is new, but has all of the retrieved data from my previous mac book pro)

You will lose data from whichever was the 2nd to last to sync .
Don't do it.

Is it possible to resize the partitions without losing data?

I have following issue:
I have dual-boot Arch with Windows XP. I created 4 partitions: 40GB XP's system disk (ntfs), 80GB ntfs data disk, 1GB swap and 25GB Linux partition.
But I am running XP so rarely, that it is frustrating, that I have most of my data on ntfs partition... I'd like to wipe out that 80GB ntfs, resize the system ntfs partition up to for example 60GB, and add the remaining 60GB to my linux ext3 partition (because I'm running out of free space recently...).
Has anyone done something like this, and how safe it is (if possible at all)
Yes, I have read this: http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Res … _partition, and a few more.
I just don't have time to reinstall both systems (especially I would not like to install Windows, because I'd rather install Vista from my recovery disk, than hack the XP to work again...), and if some issues are likely to appear, then I'll give it up for now .

It's trivial using gparted, but as with any similar operation, you run the risk of losing data - so you'd better backup.

Bought a new macbook air because my old computer is formatted. I want to sync my iphone to my new mac, so I can save the data on my iphone without losing data. how can I do?

bought a new macbook air because my old computer is formatted. I want to sync my iphone to my new mac, so I can save the data on my iphone without losing data. how can I do?

You need to copy everything form your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to your new one.
The iphone is not a storage/backup device. it simply mirrors the selected content of the computer to which it is synced.

Big bug in NW-PI-731, JDBC-adapter losing data

Hi,
we recognized a big bug in NW-PI-731 SPS07, processing data with JDBC_xxxx_SENDER, sometimes it occurs, that for example, from 13974 documents should be processed, but only a part of 13137 documents are processed successfully, but 837 documents are missing in the target system,
In message-monitoring, PI displays all documents as processed successfully, but that is obviously wrong,
so PI is sometimes losing data - this behaviour we did not have had in NW-PI-700-SPS18
after upgrading to PI-731, we have big trouble with data processing.
did other SAP-customers noticed the same behaviour?

Hi
You can count the total number message processed in PI from message monitoring in RWB.
If you see that the number is 13137, then there is a problem while reading the data from database
using JDBC sender adapter.
Since the number of records are high, you can try to restrict the number of records using rownum in
database select query.

SAP PS Data Migration Project

Hi,
This is my first data migration project. We have to migrate SAP PS transactional data from SAP 4.7 to SAP 6.0. My task is to migrate WBS element data to the new system. To do that I need to do field and Value mapping also. Please suggest how do we go about completing the task at hand and also suggest what else do we migrate in SAP PS.

Hi,
If it is a new system, you can use BDC/LSMW/BAPI for uploading the data to PS.
Also topic have been already discussed in the forum. You can refer below threads for more info:

Unable to Change Project Start Date in Project Server 2013

Dear All,
I have created new EPT in Project Server 2013. After that, when i am creating any new project in PWA 2013 by using newly created EPT, then i am not able to change Date as per my requirement.
Basically, EPT created on 02/18/2015 & even though i am changing Project start date then its again showing same date (02/18/2015)
Kindly suggest what i can do.

Hello,
Does this new EPT have a project plan template associated? What happens if you set the EPT not to have a plan template then create a new project from this EPT? Does that let you update the start date? The start date should default to today (date the project
plan was created). If that works as expected, add the plan template back to the EPT (if you had one to start with) and test creating another project to see if that then works or you then get the same behaviour. This will point us to the cause hopefully.
Do other EPTs work as expected?

PLEASE READ REGARDING iPod losing data

I have bought my 5th generation iPod and have not done anything to it that will cause to malfunction in anyway. But im getting annoyed that a lot of times i connect by black video iPod into my Windows Xp computer. Then iTunes pops out. I click on the iPod on the left and its WHITE!? Then i check how much space its used and it says 1.5 g data used? I normally have around 6.3 g.
I just lost all my videos and photos but i still have the songs for some reason. Then i always have to keep updating it cause everytime i connect i keep losing data.
Basically, when i connect my iPod a lot of stuff gets erased and i have to keep updating it.

well umm of course it appears WHITE because it cant detect that your ipod is black and it sounds like you reset it or deleted your videos on your computer and lost them in the ipod last time you connected

Dates in project definition

Dear All
When i am creating the project definition i am giving finish date.After scheduling is carried out for networking and for WBS.In networking and in wbs i am getting the st.date&fi.date but i am not getting the st.date in project definition.So what i have to do in IMG for getting the st.date in project definition
Regards&Thanks
P.Srinivasan

Hi Pratap
Be note that overlapping of WBSe dates is almost possible and can be done.
However, scdeduling of a project shall certainly depend on the following which may give error or may not give error if we follow the correct procedure accordingl to settings and selection scheduling methods.
Wish to through some light on this topic.
You may be aware that there are different types of scheduling scenarios and methods are being adopted for planning and scheduling of projects in PS.
There are three methods we adopt for scheduling of Projects. They are
1. Top Down
The dates for scheduling are passed down from PD to lower lever objects ie WBS and activities
2. Bottom Up
The dates for scheduling are passed from lower level hierarchy to higher lever objects of Proejcts ie either activity dates or wbs dates to higher level and so on to PD level.
3. Free Scduling
In this case users can set the scheduling scenarios as they wish and accordingly system does its functionality.
Users must specify planning methods for planning using basic dates and forecast dates for WBS elements and not to activities.
Scheduling methods for WBS elements are
1. Top Down
2. Bottom up
3. Strict Bottom up
4. Open planning
In your case if you choose top down scheduling, lower level objects datets shall be adjusted to highler objects like higher level WBS or Project Definition.
In your case if you choose bottom up scheduling, the lower level object dates are passed on and to higher level.
One thing you have to remember here is, selection of scheduling parameters differs from pre-defined scheduling parameter, obviously system will give an error.
Therefore, you should be careful while defining your scheduling parameters while configuration and selection of scheduling paramters should match together. In such considitions no error. otherwise system will give an error if mismatch of scheduling parameters exists.
Coming to your query and requirement, u have to decided how to go about and in what way u want to execute your project. with error or without error.
Please feel free to post your queries for unanswered queries in this forum.
Enjoy SAP....

RFP for Data Warehousing Project

My manager contracted a consultant to come up with an RFP for us. But we are running way behind schedule :(
Does anyone have a sample RFP for a Data Warehousing project for me to have a reference on what is required?
Thanks,
Tamara

Tamara,
I assume this question is not for members of Oracle Warehouse Builder team. Otherwise it'd be a bit awkward - you are asking us for a sample of what to request from us.

Downloaded songs losing data..

I have numerous previously downloaded songs that appear to be, losing data. I'm listening to incomplete songs and it's driving me nuts...

Yes, they were checked and selected to sync.. all purchased with the same appleid and I never received any error messages.. funny as it is though, after rwading some threads I saw one person mention that they played a few seconds of each song then synced again and it worked.. so I tried it and now all my purchases show up in my playlist on the iphone itself. Weird... but hey whatever works. Thanks SO much for responding though, I was definitely more than a little upset lol
