Missing a file...how do I recover it?

I'm trying to transfer music that was ripped from my iPad to a new PC. I've read all about showing the hidden files and have done that. The file iPad-control is NOT there! Only a DCIM folder with photos is there. Can someone help me recover this file so I can get all my music back on my new PC? I have an iPad and an old iPod touch and the files on both devices is not there. Thanks for you help.

The iPad is not designed to mount as a drive, it will only show in windows explorer for copying photos off, not for other content.
There are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy your music off the iPad and/or iPod : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

There's not much you can do other than trying an "un-delete" utility.
Here's one you can try: http://www.active-undelete.com/

Missing Music Files - How Can I Retrieve Them???

I opened my computer this morning and was shocked to find everything in my iTunes library was gone, and all the default settings had been restored. I attempted to do a search for my music files, and found nothing, but the strangest thing is I still have the same amount of hard space available, which leads me to believe that my files are still somewhere on my computer, but I can just not see them forr some reason. Can I find my files, and if so how? I also tried to connect my iPod touch in the hopes that i could restore the files from there, and my computer did not even register that the iPod was connected.

Could you please give me the exact product number for your computer? What version of Windows are you using?
If you need help finding it, you can use the following link:

How do I recover Missing Files

I have several groups of pictures that have gone missing since I first used Picasa to share some photos. I could care less about a lot of them but there were a couple of hundred of my trip to England I would really like to recover. The thumbnails show up in my Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 but when you click on them they say that they are missing. These photos are no longer in MY Pictures either and the only thing in those folders is a Picasa.ini .
I have also checked my recycle bin but there is nothing in there. Does anyone have any help as to how I may recover these photos?

It is a common misconception that Starter Edition 'stores', or copies, your files into it. But the program does not move or copy files at all, rather it scans your system's My Pictures directory, and generates miniature versions of your pictures (called thumbnails) so that you can browse a 'flat' list of thumbnails of your photos, overcoming the inconvenience of having to go into separate folders in Windows Explorer to have to find files.The thumbnails, as well as any tags, and Albums that you create in Starter Edition are all stored in the Photoshop Album catalog file, separate from your pictures, and your pictures remain where you originally copied them to your computer.
If you use Photoshop Album to subsequently download files from a digital camera or scanner, the default location where the program will create those files would be in the My Pictures>Digital Camera Photos folder. But if you do NOT use Photoshop Album Starter edition to download files from your camera, then you will find that folder empty.
The thumbnails in the Starter Edition catalog will exist, even if you decide to move or delete the original photos that were added to the program. This will cause files in the Photoshop Album catalog to become 'disconnected' from the original photos. To reconnect the files, you can use the File>Reconnect Missing files command to see if the program can locate the original files in a new location, and once again re-link the catalog thumbnails to the files they once referenced.
Since Photoshop Album has been discontinued, I recommend that folks find an alternative solution. One alternative that will preserve most of what you've created in Starter Edition is the Photoshop Elements 8 trial. Install that, and it will automatically convert the Photoshop Album catalog to a current format, and the program will not time out, as Starter Edition did. If you want to purchase more Editing power, you can also choose to purchase the full program, but it's not required.
If you are like many who have come to this forum wondering how you can get to your photos, now that the program has become locked or expired, don't worry; your photos have never been moved by Photoshop Album; they remain wherever you intially put them, on your hard drive. To get to them, you can navigate your file system using Windows Explorer. They are typically in your My Documents>My Pictures folder. Here is a handy How-To that you could refer to to find photos on your system, as well as some other tips for how you can use folders to keep your photos organized: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/maintain/filemgmt.mspx
Hope those tips help!

Soundbooth "generic error", recover lost files, huge file lost, how can I recover them?

Hello, I am using Soundbooth CS5 on Windows 7. I have been editing this .asnd file for some time. I have been saving and editing and saving and opening each day. However, today, I went to open it, and got "generic error". The entire file will not open. Also, when I checked on its properties, it said it was only 2kb, where in fact it was huge with multiple other files in it. Those files, by the way? They are all missing too. It isn;t a virus. I opened the file in the morning, it was fine, did work, saved it, never turned off the computer, came back later, opened it again to do work, then it gave me the error. Plus, all of the subfiles disappeared as well.
How can I recover these lost files, because I dilligently save. Where would they be stored? How can I find them?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Unfortunately, iCloud notes are not included in backups, because they are synced between devices, this means you won't be able to restore them.

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email but cannot find it on my hard drive or in recycle bin - it's in downloads but am unable to open from downloads - how can I recover the file?

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email (service provider is MWeb) but now cannot find it on my hard drive and it's not in the recycle bin. It does, however, appear in Firefox downloads but I'm unable to open it from there. How can I recover the file?

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.

Check out software like Data Rescue 3 (and you need an external drive to recover to)

I've used an external drive for time machine which has important files on it. After trying to back up my computer, it suddenly needed to be "repaired" by utilities. Now it's not being "seen" at all! How do I recover my important files off the drive?

How do I re-attach missing Illustrator files

APOLOGIES FOR CROSSPOSTING FROM INDESIGN FORUM (where I have not gotten any responses):
Thanks in advance for reading this!
I am converting an InDesign document to ePub and mobi. The document also exists as a PDF file (which, as you may know, can not be converted effectively to ePub).
The InDesign file has been supplied to me with missing Illustrator .ai links for charts and graphs. There are lo-res images in their places.
I could manually import individual charts from the PDF file into Illustrator, but there are dozens of them and relinking will be a huge job as it is. Any suggestions on how to transform all charts and graphs in the PDF file to .ai files OR import them directly into InDesign?
Many thanks

Thanks for your reply. My replies are in line:
1. how do you know the links are missing?
The "missing, click to relink" question mark appears in all InDesign charts and graphs. The ID links panel is all question marks.
2. how do you know the there are lo-res images in their place? (are they named as such? is your page display set to 'highest')
When I create an epub or mobi file, the graphics are blurred, placeholders for the intended artwork. I can anchor them, but they look pretty poor.
3. can you contact whoever made the source files to acquire the missing files?
I have tried (and tried and tried). Alas, this is a pro bono job for a UN development agency in Beijing, and no one can figure out where the files are (even though I found the a complete directory path to where they should be on SOMEONE'S computer).
4. you can PLACE the PDF pages diectly into indesign (crop to the charts) and then delete the lo-res files after using them as a reference for placement and size--yes a lot of work, but if you got to, then you got to.
At this point, if I can't come up with an alternative, I think it will be easiest to select each chart and graph from the PDF, then "edit using AI...", save them individually as AI files and relink them. I was praying for a more simple solution (other than finding those missing .ai files).
There is an extension, but it's $100 and I'll probably never need to use it again. I'd spring for it if I was sure it would save me much time.
Again, thanks for your reply.

How do I recover a "lost" font in Pages? The font file appears to exist in my MS Office area.

How do I recover a lost font in pages? The font management process seems very opaque, lots of areas on the hard drive with font folders. None seems to match the list of fonts I can pull down from the font menu in Pages. At the moment, the font I need is Century Gothic, which does reside in the MS Office area, but nowhere else that I can find. Would greatly appreciate help!
thanks much, Eilert

Thanks for the idea, fruhulda. I just checked (Jul 18) and the "missing" font is there. However, yesterday I tried a full restart of my computer, and it seemed to fix (?) the problem, so I still am not sure what happened. At any rate, the problem is now gone.

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine. iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so. Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost. The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there. There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch. How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore? HELP...

Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
You can restore from an existing backup

How can I recover files from an hard disk that DiskUtility cannot rapair?

When I push the power button of my PowerBook, while the computer is rebooting and you see the gray screen with the apple, the black screen appears saying that I have to restart the computer!
I have connected the Power Book to another Mac BookPro 2.33Ghz, intel Core Duo 2G RAM via firewire.
In the Mac bookPro desktop I cannot see the HD, and disk utility indicates this problem:
+Verify and Repair disk “Macintosh HD”+
+Invalid Volume Header+
+Checking HFS Plus volume.+
+Checking Extents Overflow file.+
+Checking Catalog file.+
+Invalid node structure+
+Volume check failed.+
+Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit+
+1 HFS volume checked+
+ 1 volume could not be repaired because of an error+
+and then:+
+Disk Utility stopped repairing “Macintosh HD” because the following error was encountered:+
+The underlying task reported failure on exit.+
Of course, I didn't try to format it, because the HD contains data that I don't want to lose.
I tried "Data Rescue II", and I can see and scan the HD, but it seems that I can only recover deleted files...
Any suggestions on how to repair the HD without losing the files?
Or a software suggestion that at least lets me first recover the files. If I recover the files, then I will try to reformat the HD.
Ciao!
