Maybe slower - but mavericks is not my problem - i lost a folder i really wanted; can target disk mode see deleted data?

so i might avoid data recovery expenses
(already this year;
torx set, to remove hd from '07 imac
take 3000 km to service who rebuilt fried western digital
an external drive dockable seagate and extra dock ( to use with usb 3 and firewire )
new computer
- and lots of hassling and downtime before thinking time machine and external drive have our back from now on ...
but then -
i restored from backup, which excluded a desktop folder of articles and photos i was collecting and sorting in to iPhoto-
- anything i can save from overwriting would be appreciated.
thanks in advance

thank you for the lead; i can see ways to start collecting again using the webhistory etc., which easyfind will show.
but where the file names are not identifying the image, though ...
thinking about how to find what is doomed to be overwritten otherwise: would making an absolutely complete
clone of the disc - and then subtracting everything visible - leave anything intelligible?
thanks again

I have an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 I also have about 30 Kodack photo CDs that I wish to convert from PCD to Jpeg but Mavericks will not see the files, they are grey. Is there any way to convert them?

I have an iMac running Mavericks 10.9.4 I also have about 30 Kodack photo CDs that I wish to convert from PCD to Jpeg but Mavericks will not see the files, they are grey. Is there any way to convert them or must I do it on another machine?

iPhoto used to support the PCD format up to a few years ago. It's extremely frustrating that Apple decided to no longer support this format and now I'm directed to pay nearly $40 for an app that will (GraphicConverter 9). Did Lemke Software make a deal with Apple so we'd have to pay a premium for a very overpriced converter? And, how are decisions like this supposed to encourage the use of iPhoto?
Apple users already pay a premium to use a Mac. Obstacles like these eventually destroy loyalty to the Apple brand. Just ask Microsoft how their back room deals that exploited their customer base worked out for them.

I have a 27" IMac. I want to add additional monitors to it. There is a vga slot for the first monitor. I would like to add a second monitor but there is not another via slot. Is there an adapter I can get for via to usb?

Here's the problem I am trying to research for you...
There does exist a way to add a second monitor via USB:
USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
It's the only device I know of that can do that. The problem is that it wants a HDMI connection. So that means a HDMI-to-VGA adapter or converter needs to be found (not VGA-to-HDMI, those are easier to find).
Interesting article realted to this:
Hdmi to vga adapter
Maybe somthing like this converter will work.

I stream video/audio from my iPhone to AppleTV and it works fine. I want to use headphones on the iPhone so I can stream the video and listen on the headphones, but Airplay will not allow me to select both AppleTV and headphones, I can only select one.

I want to use headphones on the iPhone so I can stream the video to AppleTV and listen on the headphones, but Airplay will not allow me to select both AppleTV and headphones, I can only select one. How can I watch AppleTV and listen on the headphones?
Thank you.

Try deleting that app, then see if you have the same issue.

i have a iphone 4 and i have forgtten my passcode but i do not have acess too itunes is there a way i can do a hard rest manually ??

The only thing you can do when you have forgotten the passcode is to restore the device as a new phone. A restore requires a computer and iTunes. If you have the computer you normally sync with, you could restore from a backup and not lose any content, however if you don't have that computer, you will lose all content with a restore. If you don't have that computer, you can restore with any computer that has iTunes.

Data recovery options if drive not accessible through Target Disk Mode

I have the classic data recovery question: my computer seems to have failed, and I'd like to save some data. Thanks in advance for any advice.
Details:
- Most recent backup was about a month ago to Time Machine (unfortunately, this laptop went off on a long trip and didn't have access to the destination disk, and then when it came home was running very slowly and my wife halted the TM backup thinking it was slowing the computer down). Some documents have been backed up more recently via Dropbox and/or Mozy, but not a couple important ones
- When booted in Target Disk Mode, no drive shows up on the computer to which I connect it
- When I boot from an OS X CD, a drive appears in Disk Utility with no volumes on it, and the options to 'repair disk' and 'verify disk' are greyed out.
- When I try to just start the computer up, it gets to the grey screen with the apple and just spins.
Questions:
- Should I attempt anything else myself? I've never learned about Lion's Recovery Mode; can it be used to copy some data off, in the unlikely case that this computer would boot into that Mode? Would any further attempts to boot, etc. potentially reduce the chances of a professional company recovering data?
- I'm planning to take this to an Apple Store today to confirm that this is indeed a hard drive problem and not a failed mother board or something; is there a way for me to do this myself? In the past I've used Hardware Test CDs from Apple and stuff; I don't know if those still work on modern computers.
Thanks again for any help!

I know I used to have a copy of Disk Warrior, but can't find it and it's probably out of date. I downloaded the Data Rescue demo, but it only got partway through scanning the disk and then failed. It told me to 'clone' the disk, but after about three days of trying still wasn't making much progress on it, so I gave up.
However, I was able to recover the few important files I needed simply by removing the drive, putting it in an enclosure, and connecting it via USB. After 10 or 20 minutes, Finder gave me a message that said something like, "this disk cannot be repaired, and is probably damaged. You can still access the disk, but copy everything off ASAP because it will probably fail soon." Some files indeed couldn't be copied, but I could copy the things I needed.
I assume that this is a hardware problem. To confirm, I assume that I can check it without having DiskWarrior simply by trying to reformat it? If it can't be reformatted, I assume there's no chance that it is a functioning drive. Is that right?

Slow transfers with G5 client running in target disk mode

I'm using a brand new dual 3GHz Mac Pro, just arrived today.
I've connected my G5 in FW800 target disk mode, it's two internal drives are mounted properly on my Mac Pro ("/Volumes/Files 1" is the drive in the G5):
/dev/disk3 750G 98G 652G 13% /Volumes/Files
/dev/disk4s3 400G 334G 66G 83% /Volumes/Files 1
I'm copying all my old data, and it's taking way too long.
iostat reveals disk activity on disk4 at 10MB/s (it never passed 11MB/s - it's always upwards of 10.5MB/s, so it's being throttled):
disk4 disk5 disk1 cpu
KB/t tps MB/s KB/t tps MB/s KB/t tps MB/s us sy id
128.00 85 10.62 0.00 0 0.00 0.00 0 0.00 0 1 98
128.00 86 10.74 0.00 0 0.00 0.00 0 0.00 1 2 97
128.00 86 10.74 0.00 0 0.00 0.00 0 0.00 1 2 97
122.07 89 10.60 0.00 0 0.00 0.00 0 0.00 1 0 99
There are always 128KB/t when a large file is being copied, so perhaps that's the rate limiter.
iostat will not print statistics about "disk3", which is the destination RAID1 (mirror) inside the new MacPro. What tools are used to monitor IO stats for Apple's RAID volumes, if iostat won't do it?
I'm open to suggestions as to what's causing this. I don't know much about tuning MacOS. Is this a firmware issue? The MacPro firmware is up to date (did it today).
There are no other FW devices connected, period. This is just the G5 connected to the MacPro; FW800.
I have read articles discussing problems with slave drives not being available from disk mode clients, but this is not that type of problem. As I mentioned, the drives in the G5 all mount correctly on the MacPro.
Should I post this in a G5 forum as well?
Thanks for any suggestions.

I am having the same issue - extremely slow transfer speeds from old G5 to new MacPro. Was originally using a FW400 cable - now I am using a FW800 cable.
Goes VERY slow when it starts moving video files (from Final Cut Pro, etc.).
Help! We've been trying to do this transfer for about two days now...

Hard disk not recognised - will not boot from cd & No FW Target Disk mode

hi,
some help would be greatly appreciated.
Some time ago i was switching internal hard drives around and wound up with a kernel panic of some sort (see my previous posts).
following on from this I have tried FW target disk mode with no success, and it will not boot from a retail Tiger install disc (this machine has tiger installed (i think!). I can't force a boot from the optical drive and i also can't even force it to eject the disc inside to try another install DVD/CD (I have panther discs lying around also).
when i start up with the c key nothing happens, but when i start up with the alt/option key i get a closed padlock symbol, password entry field and a "right facing arrow" button.
anyone got any clues with this? i'm guessing it could either and/or be an internal hard drive ribbon failure (i have swapped internal HDs multiple times in this machine, which can't be good for it) or the familiar PRAM problem (although why would it not boot from an install DVD if this was the case?). I have changed the power supply unit in the past due to having a power cable snap off inside the original one - damage to PRAM caused by this?
help would be muchly appreciated!
Jesse

Hi, Jesse. Remove the hard drive and its cable, then see whether you can start up from a CD or DVD. If that works, replace your hard drive cable.

Maybe slower - but mavericks is not my problem - i lost a folder i really wanted; can target disk mode see deleted data?
