Missing Redologs/Flash Recover files

Hi
Our development team has backed up database files, controlfiles and missed to backup redologs/flash recovery ONLINELOG files. I am working on how to recover the databsae in the absense of those ONLINELOg files.
I tried re-creating controlfile with RESETLOGS options and then open with resetlogs option but that didn't work. As per the database backup trace file, it is a noarchive log database.
What options do I have now to open the database by somehow recreating those missing ONLINELOG files (redo logs)/FLashrecovery files. We don't care if any data is lost. We just want to open and look at the schema structure.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Thanks

If the parameters of the target server (SPFILE, paths) are equal to those of the source server - and if both are XE then they probably are -, this should do the trick. I just ran this successfully on my laptop.

HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

Hi,
I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
So basically here are my 2 questions:
How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
Any solutions are very much apreciated!
Thanks!
I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
http://www.twocanoes.com/
Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.
http://www.paragon-software.com/downloads/demo.html
I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

Using the recovered files folder in the Trash for Flash CS5 files

I'm creating a complex animation (hand drawing every two frames on a Cintiq) in Flash CS5 and, despite saving, lost the day's work upon my Mac freezing - over 300 drawings, just gone. The recovered files folder contains /tmp and .dat files, and I've found no guidance online as what to do with these. Please help!

Those files in the recovered files folder happen when an APP crashes with unwritten data/files.
It's not very likely those tmp or dat files will be of any use, but if critical get HexEdit and open those files for a look...
http://hexedit.sourceforge.net/
We should work on why the crashes & loses are happening.

Recover Flash Drive Files

Is there anyone that possibly knows if there is a way to recover files from a flash drive? I accidently pulled my flash drive when it was initializing and at first the flash drive wasn't recognized and I'm not sure what I did, but now my mac recognizes it. But now there's are only a few files that show up, the important ones were deleted. Can someone please help me!?

Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

pages file document went missing after force quit. cant find it anywhere even after using recovering files softwares. HELP
i was working on a document with pages. while transferring files from USB, the 'pinball' thing popped up for the longest time which lead me to force quit the document. the document had been saved before quitting. however, my macbook starts to reboot, and after rebooting that specific file is missing. Before it quit, it says that the file is locked and asked me to create a duplicate, which i clicked yes to.

Hi,
just to say that while waiting for a help
I decided to go back from zero and moved to a second network (thanks i got some few computers available for my tests ) and this time i run in another trouble wich is the subject of a former post (with no reply...) <<HELP!! "Checksum failed" & "Integrity check on decrypted field failed ">>

Anyway if one could help... on one of the two issues Thanks

How do you recover files on a USB drive?

I used Disk drill to find missing files on my USB, but don't want to pay $89 dollars to recover them. Othe free programs don't even find the files. Is there a trick to recovering them using the iMac?

Is there any way to recover files on a corrupted drive if I can book to Lion Recovery Assistant?

Is there anyway to recover files from a corrupted drive if I can boot to the on-disk Lion Recovery Assistant? Unfortunately Apple replaced my screen in December and wiped my hard drive. I restored my files from Time Machine but have not done a backup since December because Time Machine sees the computer as new. I started trying to find a way to reconnect to the existing backup with hopes of not having to do a full back up all over again. There are a number of files that I need from the last 2 months.
My mid-2009 17" MacBook Pro froze last night and I had to press the power button to turn it off. When the computer restarted, it boot into Lion Recovery Assistant. Disk Utility reported errors like "invalid b-tree node size" and "invalid record count".
- I restarted and ran fsck overnight. This morning I looked at the computer and it said that the drive could not be repaired.
- Genius Bar did a quick scan and said I needed a new hard drive.
- I called Apple Care and they had me start in Lion Recovery Assistant and run Disk Utility. Disk Utility again reported that the drive cannot be repaired.
- I tried using target disk mode and connected the MacBook to my iMac. The iMac can see the drive in Disk Utility but cannot mount it.
- I tried DiskWarrior from the iMac and it cannot rebuild the drive. It does not even attempt.
- I tried the demo of Data Rescue and it could not read the drive (using target disk mode).
I realized that if I can boot the computer to the Lion Recovery Assistant then the drive is still functional (corrupted but still functional). Disk Utility shows the custom name I assigned to the partition (I changed it from Macintosh HD).
Any suggestions?

I was finally able to recover my data using DiskWarrior!
After taking my laptop to a data recovery company and quoted $449 to recover my data, I decided to try one more time. The technician did a free diagnosis and said the drive was still functional. I explained everything that I tried. He said that they normally use Data Rescue and recommended that I wait a few minutes after starting the application before attempting to scan.
Using another computer, I installed Lion to a 16GB flash drive and installed DiskWarrior, Data Rescue, and Remo Recover. Remo Recover ran the day before for more than 24 hours and although it "saw" the data, the it only presented a fraction of the data I needed. I booted my laptop from the flash drive and first tried Data Rescue Demo. It estimated 3500 hours to scan a 500GB drive. That worked out to be about 145 days. I cancelled and tried DiskWarrior hoping that since I had purchased it, I would get some value. This time DiskWarror did the scan and in less than 90 minutes it found pretty much everything! It seems that it does not run properly with highly corrupted drives using target disk mode. At the end of the scan, it mounted my internal drive so that I could preview the rebuilt directories and copy what I needed to an external drive!

Restore - filename for datafile is missing in the control file

I am practicing RMAN recovery procedures and I encountered a problem that I do not know how to solve.
1) I took a hot backup of my test database.
2) Create tablespace TS_DATA_TEMP
3) Deleted tablespace TS_DATA which had 2 datafiles
4) Created tablespace TS_DATA with 1 datafile
5) shutdown database
6) logged into RMAN in nomount
7) restore controlfile from autobackup;
8) alter database mount;
9) restore database;
RMAN> restore database;

So i'm not sure what the problem is. Datafile TS_DATA.dbf is located in the control file but i'm getting the error: the filename for datafile 5 is missing in the control file.
Suggestions on what's wrong with the control file?

I found my mistake; a newbie error.
I did not know I needed to include in my restore command the 'until' option when doing incomplete recovery. I only included the 'until' option in the recover command:
original command
restore database;
recover database until sequence =123;
should be
restore database until sequence = 123;
recover database until sequence =123;
I usually run the command using a RUN block with a SET UNTIL SEQUENCE but this case I used the single commands separately.
RUN
+{+
SET UNTIL sequence 123;
RESTORE DATABASE;
RECOVER DATABASE;

Photoshop CC 2014 Crashing on Startup (Recovering Files)

Since installing an OSX update (10.9.4), Photoshop won't finish starting. It tries recovering files it had open, then hits a PSD which it did not have the fonts for and exits.
No idea how to find the log file or clear this from happening, totally unusable
And suggestions?

Okay... so anyone else in this situation - to me it is a bug when it tries to resolve missing fonts - so does need investigating...
So I removed the offending recovery file under:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CC 2014/AutoRecover
Starts up fine now.

Flash fla files corrupted by CVS

Hi,
I have saved my Flash fla files with Eclipse CVS and some where on the way, I set their ASCII\BINARY value to ASCII and now my files are totally corrupted.
Does anyone know of a way to fix fla files that were saved as ASCII in CVS?
Thanks for your help.

Well, I'm not quite sure what kind of cards am I using. The SD card is a common one, one of those you use for digital cameras. It's a 2GB SanDisk, quite new. The flash drive is an 8GB Data Traveler...
And, yes - the AVIs are quite big (biggest one is around 700MB, and they're about 5 or 6 with 500MB)
Anyway, I'm totally sure the files are extremely corrupted because I didn't save them on a HD... I've tried in VLC, DivX... They simply wont open the files (I mean, I don't get soundless blank screens or other kind of synthom you usually read in AVI help threads). I even went to my university's media lab and one of the teachers told me that I did wrong when I transferred the files directly from the SD card to the flash drive, without saving them on a hard disk first.
The camera isn't the cause of the problems, because yesterday I've made new videos with it and I emptyed the SD card directly to my own Mac with no problems on those AVIs at all.
In addition to all this, the flash drive presented life signs at the media lab's iMac -- the archive containing the AVI files turned unrecognizable (had that icon like a black card with green "exec" letters); when we opened it on a Windows, a lot of archives appeared and their names were in constant change.
Worst of all is that I've already format the SD card twice ^_^" (I didn't know the AVIs were corrupted - I just thought I needed QT Pro). All my hopes are relying on the flash drive.
Today I've tried recovering the flash drive's files with Data Rescue and StellarPhoenix software (all of them very limited demos) but it was all useless.
Sorry for the word labyrinth; thanks for your help..

Plist and Recovered Files

With Search down, I can only post this question as a new topic. Suddenly in Trash, I have some Recovered files that appear to relate to Keynote. The folder name is:
com.apple.iWork.Keynote1099_SFED_2329226411
Content is a bunch jpg files, such as: stonemarble_barA_flathi-Layer0Image.jpg. Since I have two full Leopard boot volumes on my Mac Pro, both of which have a Keynote installation, it would seem this folder in Trash could relate to either of them? However, neither the folder nor any file can be found with Spotlight to exist anywhere on the Mac Pro.
This seemed to occur after in one boot volume of Leopard I did an Update to Microsoft Office 2004, and then returned to the other Leopard boot volume. I don't know which boot volume placed the Recovered files into Trash (both have the same Username for the Home Directory), and don't know if they are fine to delete, or not. I would assume they can be deleted, but . . . ?
Ernie

I used to check and double-check these all the time. Now I just delete them as I've found they're not really "missing". Apparently, Apps that use the "Temporary Items" folder and don't remove the files (or aren't able to remove the files because the app didn't quit properly, as in a crash) then these files are "recovered" from there.

URL, email links in Flash swf files shows up in search engine

Hi, can you please help? I post this problem a while ago.
My problem is: I developed a website in Flash 8 on the Mac.
The Flash swf file is displayed via Dreamweaver doc. When I do a
search and, when the site is found in Google, all the links used in
the Flash swf file appears in the snippets below the main title. I
would like to know where I'm going wrong, and how can I prevent
Google from displaying the URL and email details.
Do I need to use a preloaded, or do I need to put the Flash
swf movie file in a table in Dreamwever.
Many thanks,
Blue_Mac

>I don't know how this is happening then. Search engine
spiders don't
>read through compiled files like Flash.
Thanks, this is reassuring. Although it seems to have done
just that.
The following action script is where the details are coming
from. I've used the name 'whatever" as an example. I don't mind the
URLs on view as much as I mind my email address because of security
issues.
on (release) {
//Goto Webpage Behavior
getURL("mailto:[email protected]","_blank");
//End Behavior
I'll check my files again to see if I've miss anything out -
I have done this so many times already.

Recovered Files - FlashTmp0 always in Trash

Every single time I restart my computer a folder appears in the Trash called "Recovered Files." Now I understand what that's for. But it's frustrating when it appears all the time. It only ever contains the file "FlashTmp0" and/or "FlashTmp1." Does anyone know what program could be causing the crash? I've tried reinstalling adobe flash plugin, safari, and firefox.

It's not a crash. Flash is discarding temp files, apparently.
One or more Recovered Files folder may appear in your Trash after restarting your computer. The recovered files are temporary files used by Mac OS X applications. Usually temporary files are deleted by an application when it no longer needs them. If an application quits unexpectedly, the temporary files may not get deleted by the application. When you restart your computer, Mac OS X moves these temporary files to the Trash.
You can retrieve useful files by dragging them out of the Trash. In most cases, however, the temporary files are not important and it is safe to empty your Trash. Check with the manufacturer of the application if you are not sure.

I am working on a PC. My InDesign CS6 was working but is now missing its amtlib.dll file. To fix it it says to reinstall program but I was am idiot and didn't make a copy. Is there any way to reinstall this missing file?

I am working on a PC. My InDesign CS6 was working but is now missing its amtlib.dll file. To fix it it says to reinstall program but I was am idiot and didn't make a copy. Is there any way to reinstall this missing file?

It was bought for my son and he never registered it.
I still don't understand why Neema was trying to reinstall it when she didn't have the serial number but after she uninstalled it, said she couldn't reinstall it because I didn't have the serial number. I never had it yet she didn't have a problem with trying to install it originally.
Still won't buy another Adobe product again. I've talked to a lot of people who can't stand Adobe and I now know why. I can't even update Flash without my whole system crashing or getting a virus.
I won't re-purchase InDesign either. I realize it should have been registered and I explained that my email had been hacked and my proof of purchase was deleted with ALL of my emails and I also had a major virus after updating Flash.
I can't afford to buy the same product twice.
I will find out what other formats my book distributor (Ingram Books) accepts and purchase that program.
Not impressed with Adobe and will share my experience with others so they can be sure to register their product and make a copy of the program BEFORE allowing an Adobe employee to take control of their computers.
If you knew the answer to my question, customer support should have too.
Thanks for your help.
