Lost the access to the first partion of the firewire drive and the data ?

Hello to everybody,
after i moved 5,5GB Data from my internal harddisk, HFS+ , to my external Firewire drive, FAT 32 formatted for compatilibilty with a PC, i lost the access to the first partion of the firewire drive and the data. At first after having appearently finished copying the data a lot of ununderstable numbers and letters appeared on the first partion and couldn't be opened.
Using first aid showed the following messages:

As i translated the First Aid messages from german to english they will probably look a bit different in english but i hope you get the idea.
So what can i do to regain access to the first partion and the data ?
If i have to use the terminal then please !!! step by step as i don't have any experience in using it
Greetings and thanks in advance for any hints

PD: i was just arranging my data into different categories so could later burn a backup when this happened

Yep, you sure can. That's how I support my family's computers. I just entered their dynamic hostname in ARD, and it always updates their IP address in the ARD list should they have changed.

The Dock was replaced in Mountain Lion and you can't get back the old one.

Messages is the iChat replacement. Messages is iChat but with iMessage compatibility, so you can send messages to other iPhones, iPads, iPods touch or Macs, but keeping the iChat features. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5395

Hi All, i recently done a back up and update & restore, but ive lost my notes, my text messages and my reminders and notes on the calender, i also have lost the data i had in an app which was very important to me. Please Please help me, i,m total novice.
I did this back up because i was instructed by my service provider. This was supposed to sort out my losing connection problem, which it didn't, it instead gave me a new problem. If there is anyone out there who can help me to retrieve my lost information i would appreciate it.
Thank You in advance.

You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup. If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup. You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone. However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

HT1364 i rebuilt my itunes from my back up discs. I lost the data again and now when i insert the back up discs itunes recognizes it as a device with no option to rebuild. any ideas?

i rebuilt my itunes from my backup discs a couple of years ago. i lost the data again, now itunes sees the discs as a device, it lists all the songs and artists but there is not an option to rebuild again. i have over 19,000 songs from multiple sources so re copying from the originals is not an option. my ipod is fine, if i could use that to rebuild life would be so much easier. Any thoughts?

Hello Philly,
I believe that when you reset your ipod(command given from the computer, right?) touch WHILE the ipod was updating, It cleared the system in the middle of writing files, thus corrupting(equivalent of cutting of in the middle of a sentence) the basic running system.
I suggest you go to an apple store and ask for a technical diagonosis in person. they may offer to help if the problem is fixable. If your ipod is still under warrenty, i would guess it would be free/low cost.

I forgot to enable sync on multiple devices hence I lost the data that was synced from my desktop.

I had enabled firefox sync only on my desktop and forgot to enable sync on multiple devices.
I lost the data that was synced from my desktop as I have re-imaged my system with new OS and when i login into the sync account none of the bookmarks are recovered.
Can Firefox team provide me the data that was synced?

Hi darikere,
Unfortunately Sync was not meant to be a back up service. I am sorry for the inconvenience.

Lost the data I was busy typing when i aciddentily pressed back. Is there a way to recover it?

Pressed back by accidently and when returning to the page i lost the text i was busy with ... is there a way to recover it?

No, unfortunately not if the text didn't appear when clicking Forward.
You can disable the backspace key:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.backspace_action (2)
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
*Use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a preference more easily.
*Preferences that have been modified show as bold(user set).
*Preferences can be reset to the default or changed via the right-click context menu.

Lost all photos in iPhoto 6 (photos on external firewire drive)

when using iphoto i accidentally unplugged my external drive.
on reopening iPhoto all thumbs have turned to empty squares.
on opening an image i just get a large grey square with an ! in the centre.
My iphoto library is still on the external disk.
the original/modified folders still contain all the photos, as does that data folder. The folders at the top of the file entitled by each year do not contain any photos.
I have tried rebuilding by holding down CMD and option on startup to no effect.
Please help, my photos are an account of my life at uni.

You're most welcome.
Out of interest, what causes the library to become corrupted?<<<</div>
Darned if I know but, in your case, iPhoto was probably in the middle of doing something when the drive was inadvertently disconnected.

Desktop v 6.2 Lost Calendar and Contact functions, Handheld Tungsten E2 still has the data and functions

May 12, 2011 I decided to upgrade Desktop 6.1 to 6.2 on my home Win 7 Desktop, the download and installation appeared to work correctly. Since I use the handheld daily (for everything) and backup at work and home every 2-3 days. I did not notice that the Calendar and Contact functions on my home desktop had disappeared for a few days. Normally at home I use the Desktop to make adjustments and additions to my data in other applications. I did not realize that Calendar and Contacts had dropped off the home PC, until I needed to update my calendar from notes at home..
I have tried to download the software and repair the installation. Still failed.
So after downloading ver 4.1.4, I uninstalled the 6.2 version. I was unable to find the installation program for the prior 6.1. Version 4.1.4, lacks what I had for my home desktop.
Post relates to: Tungsten E2

I use the Tungsten E2 & had upgraded to 6.2 (Access) OS. I had all filed backed up to another folder on the PD. I lost the DATE, ADDRESS, MEMOS & TO DO categories on the Palm Desktop. I tried to re-install 6.2 (the categories were still lost); I uninstalled 6.2 & installed 4.1 (but could not import files from my backed-up files).
The solution was to uninstall 4.1 (I used Windows uninstall) & to re-install 6.2. The missing categories were still missing. Right click on the Palm Desktop shortcut, click on Properties, click on Compatibility, put a check mark in the Administrator Box, click on Apply & click on OK. The missing categories returned including the data that was in them.

Is there a way to restore the All Contacts app on my iPad 1. it seems the data and cannot turn a page or add more contacts

Is there a way to restore the All Contacts app on my gen 1 ipad? I seem to have lost the data and can't turn a page or add new contacts. I did try to reload the contacts (and I guess everything else) from my itunes computer backup but nothing happens to the All Contacts app. everything else seems to work fine on the ipad so I'm not sure what happened to the data or why. not sure i want to try and reset the whole ipad just for this one little app or feature...thanks in advance to any replies.

Sorry, had to sep out. I see the contacts "page" but I can't use the letters on the left margin or a finger touch to change location. Nor does anything happen when I touch the plus sign to allow me to add a new contact. So maybe he actual old contact data is still there I just can't get to it. Rick

Why did Firefox intervened to move data while working with an Excel file; cannot locate the data.

Downloaded Firefox 2wks ago. Just now working with a large Excel spreadsheet when something happened losing all 6 sheets of data. My file location now shows sheet data as Firefox Document. Now I can't retrieve this file of data; it was financial data! What happened for Firefox to intervene?

No, Sir. I was strictly working within a newly created Excel file. Actually, Internet Explorer is current browser.
Thank you for interest and any suggestion.
Re-thinking thru this, it is probable I downloaded the base data thru FIREFOX. I was working with the project on an Excel spread sheet when I lost the data. The sheets still exist but the data is missing. Very strange.

Please Help! - Cannot Access Or See External USB/Firewire Drive

Can anyone help or advise me as I’m really at a loss as how to fix a problem I have with my external hard drive and OX 10.4.6.
I had just completed a fresh install of OS X on my PowerPC iMac G5 using the “Erase & Install” feature.
Everything had gone extremely well, all my applications and settings had been re-set as I normally have them (I made backups) and was able to access my external hard disk, which is a Maxtor OneTouch USB/FireWire 250 GB model.
I then setup a second account for my brother, which I setup as a “Standard” account.
When I then went to access some of the files on my external disk and tried to copy them over to my Desktop, it refused me permission and said that I had to ask the permission of the “Owner’ which it said was Steve (my Brother) which was strange because as I said his account was only setup as a standard account whereas I had an administrator account (and am the main user of the computer).
I went into the Steve's account and looked at the Permissions information using the “Get Info” dialogue box. This showed that the owner was indeed Steve, so I changed it to my Name (Andrew) went back to my account, and found could no longer see the external disk at all.
Returning to Steve’s account I checked the permissions again, and asked it to ignore permissions.
But now I cannot see or access the disk at all in either account, it just does not show up on the desktop or in the Finder Sidebar.
The strange thing is I can see it in “Disk Utility” but when I ask it to either verify or Repair the Disk permissions, it reports that they are all or OK and “no repairs were necessary”.
I have tried connecting the disk with both types of connection - USB2 and the Firewire drive, and the results are exactly the same, the drive is not visible on the Desktop or the Finder Sidebar, but is visible to Disk Utility.
The disk is formatted as a ‘Mac OS Extended (Journaled) drive
Can anyone please tell me how I can get my external disk to show on my computer again, as ALL my backup documents and programs are on the disk, and most of the data cannot be replaced.
Would doing a complete fresh install of the OS X operating system fix this as a last resort?
I hope someone can advise, as I really am desperate.
Thanks

Yes, I didn't think it was very good either!
You are correct in I should have said "Repair Disk" - Verify Permissions is not available on the maxtor drive ( it is dimmed) in Repair Disk.
Until now, the drive has worked perfectly, and I did not install any of Maxtors software when I originally connected the drive to this system, I just formatted it as a Mac Extended and it worked great. It was only after the fresh Erase & Install - even then it worked fine. It was only when I created a new account that the problem started.
What I have done is get hold of a demo version of a program called "Mac Drive 6" which allows you to read any Mac formatted disk or drive on a Windows system, - fortunately i still have my Windows XP Pro system which I have also connected to my home network.
So for the next four days (the length of the demo) I can access all of my files on the disk and copy them to my Windows system.
This is really great because I have all my data and images back which were my biggest concern.
I thought I might get another drive anyhow, and when I have everything backed up on a new drive and on the Windows system, I can then reformat the Maxtor drive and start afresh with it.
Thanks for all your help anyhow.

‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.
 Cheers, Tom
