Need help locating backup files on Ipad 1.
Went to upgrade OS and it got hung up and restarted then everything was wiped from my Ipad. I was able to restore Apps and stuff from ITunes but lost contacts, email, Safari favorites, etc. Also got a new PC w/ Windows 7 so I have no idea what the backup would be called or where it's at...
If you never synced with the new computer - you have no backup. If you have synced - then you have a backup.
Do not connect the iPad to your PC. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - do you see a backup in there? If so - then you have one.
If you have no iTunes backup - have you been using iCloud to backup?

Need help with backup files made by HP Recovery.
So in 2011 I had made a post about a DV9 series HP laptop I had that I felt needed a harddrive. Well the laptop has been sold to a friend of mine and he has since fixed the issue it had. My curent deboggle is trying to deal with the 36GB of data it backed up onto an external USB powered harddrive. The information was saved from a system that ran Windows VISTA, on that same DV9 Pavilion. I have a new laptop and it's a Pavilion DV6 running windows 7. Is there some sort of 3rd party application or an uncommon HP utility that can open, run or modify. Specificaly I need to some files but not all, but if my only option is to extract all then that would be fine also. There is an executible in the backup folder but it doesn't extract anything it just locks up.
For the TLR portion, need to access backup files made on an older HP laptop with windows vista to a newer HP latop running windows 7.Terribly sorry for the post, I should have researched more before posting. I found the answer to my issue in another thread here on the HP forums! Thanks so much!!

Need help locating duplicate files and projects. Space is running out
Ok, over time I have made duplicate files and projects on both my local and external hard drives. What I am looking for is a program that I can run on to Identify duplicate files and such so that I can decide what to delete to free up much needed space.
Please suggest anything you can think of, I am running out of room.
Cheers, and Thanks in advance.You will find several such utilities at VersionTracker or MacUpdate.

I have a few songs on multiple albums that I have paid for. I tried to listen to a few songs. An exclamation point said I need to locate the files. I went in to ITunes and it said the items have been downloaded to my computer. I can't find them. Can anyone help? Thanks!
You can try manually downloading them:
1. Open iTunes and click on "Store"
2. Click "Purchased" in the top-right
3. Find the Album you need to compete and click the cloud next to it. -
I need help locating where and how to update Mac OS-X to Mountain Lion.....Thanx....Jay
First update your 10.6 version to 10.6.8 from the software update under the Apple Menu.
This will add direct access to the Mac App store via a new application.
Now launch the App Store from your Applications folder - Its the new icon a letter A formed from a ruler pencil and pen on a blue circle !
Once launched you need to add your iTunes account details or create an account add payment details etc...
Sign in purchase download and follow install processes to upgrade to 10.8 Mountain Lion.
OH and to be safe BEFORE you install backup your current system to an external drive ! -
I just want to put PDF files for my books on here. Please help me
Here's some more info about the router settings:
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points
You should be able to get into the setup of your router by typing the IP address into your browser.
Depending on your router security setup, you might need the MAC address of your iPad, to allow access to your network, if the so called MAC filtering is active.
You can also check the name of your home network if your click on the AirPort icon on your desktop of your MacBook.
And here's a Wi-Fi assistant to get you going: http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/assistant/wifi/

Help needed to locate missing files
I'm still a Mac newbie so i'm really having trouble here.
The capacity of my Mac is 27.94GB and i'm only left with with 749.8MB. The problem is i dunno where the used 27.2GB of stuff are????
I've checked all the files like Applications, Library, users... each of them have barely over 1GB. So i'm really puzzled where the other GB are???? Where else can they be? I've cleared my Trashbin but that didn't help.
Can anyone help?? I'm desperate...i'm running out of space!!From the Finder (click on the icon with the face in the dock), do a find. File->Find ...
Use the drop down lists to select Size -> Greater Than -> xxx Mb
Stick in a number say 100 Mb in the right hand box. Then do the find.
It should list the large files on your system. This may or may not help. If the files are hidden/private OS ones they won't get listed.
Another thing to try is an application called Onyx (or something similar).
It helps clean up files on your system that might not be needed anymore - e.g. cache files, log files etc.. It would be worth running all the options on the 'Automate' tab/screen.
You can get it from http://www.titanium.free.fr/ -
New Oracle DBA - Need help with backup & restore procedure via RMAN
Hello everyone,
I've been a SQL Server DBA for 12 years now, but new to the Oracle space. My first assignment at work was to refresh our training environment with production. So with that said, I took a full backup of our production database via RMAN and backed up the Control File. I then copied both the Control File and full backup from our production environment to training. I followed the procedures listed in the URL below:
http://www.dba-oracle.com/t_rman_clone+copy_database.htm
I then connected to RMAN and executed a 'show all' which is as follows:
RMAN configuration parameters are:
CONFIGURE RETENTION POLICY TO REDUNDANCY 1; # default
CONFIGURE BACKUP OPTIMIZATION OFF; # default
CONFIGURE DEFAULT DEVICE TYPE TO DISK; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP OFF; # default
CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP FORMAT FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO '%F'; # default
CONFIGURE DEVICE TYPE DISK PARALLELISM 1 BACKUP TYPE TO BACKUPSET; # default
CONFIGURE DATAFILE BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG BACKUP COPIES FOR DEVICE TYPE DISK TO 1; # default
CONFIGURE MAXSETSIZE TO UNLIMITED; # default
CONFIGURE ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY TO NONE; # default
The CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
Thank you,
PeteThe CONFIGURE CONTROLFILE AUTOBACKUP was set to ON but received a message that the database needed to be mounted, so, I mounted the database and made the changes, but when I shutdown the database and performed the startup nomount again, the settings were gone. These settings are persistent settings.So these information retain in control files.To reading information from control files database instance must be MOUNT or OPEN stage.Due to you have mount instance and try SHOW ALL command through RMAN.
Are these settings valid only when the database is mounted? Not only MOUNT also OPEN stage.
How can I successfully refresh this training environment with production data? I'm at a standstill here so any help would be very much appreciated.
There are several ways like duplication.But you take full backup from production database using BACKUP DATABASE through rman.In this case you will get also AUTOBACKUP for controlfiles/spfiles.Then copy these backup files and all available archive logs to training server and perform below steps.
1) You have set properly ORACLE_HOME and ORACLE_SID environment variable.After that first need restore spfile as
rman target /
startup force nomount;
restore spfile from 'autobackup_location';
startup force nomount;2) Now you have to restore controlfiie as
rman>restore controlfile from 'autobackup_location';
rman>alter database mount;
3) Now need catalog(it means register) all backup files and archivelogs in new restored controlfile as
rman>catalog start with 'backuplocation';
4) Finally you can restore and recover your database as below
rman>restore database;
rman>recover database;
rman>alter database open resetlogs;
If you want restore database to new location then before executing RESTORE DATABASE command you can use SET NEWNAME FOR DATAFILE clause.Firstly refer backup recovery guide in online documentation. -
I need help retrieving Microsoft files lost when upgrading to OSX Mavericks
My daughter recently upgraded our Mac to the OSX Mavericks platform. Unfortunately, all of our Microsoft files, etc. are gone! I need to know how I can retrieve these files or if I can. I'm honestly not impressed with this new platform. I need help asap and your help is truly appreciated.
You have to make the backup yourself. That's your only protection against file loss whether accidental or catastrophic. In fact you should have at least two of them - each done differently and on separate drives.
If your files truly were "erased" then you can see if they can be recovered:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, 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. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
Basic Backup
For some people Time Machine will be more than adequate. Time Machine is part of OS X. There are two components:
1. A Time Machine preferences panel as part of System Preferences;
2. A Time Machine application located in the Applications folder. It is
used to manage backups and to restore backups. Time Machine
requires a backup drive that is at least twice the capacity of the
drive being backed up.
3. Time Machine requires a backup drive that is at least double the
capacity of the drive(s) it backs up.
Alternatively, get an external drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is not significant):
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. For help with using Time Machine visit Pondini's Time Machine FAQ for help with all things Time Machine.
Although you can buy a complete external drive system, you can also put one together if you are so inclined. It's relatively easy and only requires a Phillips head screwdriver (typically.) You can purchase hard drives separately. This gives you an opportunity to shop for the best prices on a hard drive of your choice. Reliable brands include Seagate, Hitachi, Western Digital, Toshiba, and Fujitsu. You can find reviews and benchmarks on many drives at Storage Review.
Enclosures for FireWire and USB are readily available. You can find only FireWire enclosures, only USB enclosures, and enclosures that feature multiple ports. I would stress getting enclosures that use the Oxford chipsets especially for Firewire drives (911, 921, 922, for example.) You can find enclosures at places such as;
1. Cool Drives
2. OWC
3. WiebeTech
4. Firewire Direct
5. California Drives
6. NewEgg
All you need do is remove a case cover, mount the hard drive in the enclosure and connect the cables, then re-attach the case cover. Usually the only tool required is a small or medium Phillips screwdriver. -
Need Help-SOA 11g File Adapter unable to delete input file and its crashing
Hi All
Please find the details below:
1. We have created a simple SOA composite to Read file from an input directory, archive the file in an archive directory using Inbound File Adapter Read
and then use Outbound File Adapter Write to move the file to a output directory.
2. File Adapter needs to delete the file after successful read/retrieval.
3. We are using the "Use Trigger File" for invoking the file adapter. This is a new feature in SOA 11g
4. Also we are using the option of reading the file as an attachment as we are not doing any transformation in the composite
Issue Details_
1. When the trigger file is put in the input directory for the first time, the File Adapter reads the file, archives it and moves it to the output directory
2. However it does not delete the input file from the input directory and raises Fatal Exception mentioned below:
[*2011-01-12T16:55:48.639+05:30] [soa_server1] [WARNING] [] [oracle.soa.adapter] [tid: weblogic.work.j2ee.J2EEWorkManager$WorkWithListener@19c243d]*

File deletion failed.
File deletion failed.
File : C:\Dibya\AttachmentTest\InputDir\TestFile3.txt could not be deleted.
Delete the file and restart server. Contact oracle support if error is not fixable.
If any one has faced similar issues, kindly provide pointers on how to resolve it.
Regards,
DibyaHi,
Using the file adapter, you can poll from multilple locations...
Keep the following property in your .jca file
<property name="DirectorySeparator" value="," />
While giving the path in File Adapter configuration, keep comma and give the next location....then the file will be picked up from the locations you gave....
Hope this helps...
Thanks,

Envy DV7 7212nr - I need the BIOS backup file.
Hi,
I installed the Lojack software on my laptop and the windows stopped working and started showing a blue screenerror. Because of this my laptop don't work and I can’t restore or reinstall Windows.
My laptop is a Envy DV7 7212nr.
The only solution is to rewrite the BIOS chip. But the BIOS file that HP provides to download can not be written directly to the chip because it is very large and can only be used when the laptop is running normally (this is not my situation).
So I need a BIOS backup's file to get record the BIOS chip. But as I don't have this backup file, I need another laptop like mine to get this BIOS backup file.
So I need someone who has this laptop help me.
Please, if you have the Envy laptop DV7 7212nr and you know make a backup the BIOS, please send this backup file it to me.
If I do not get this BIOS backup file, I will not have to fix my laptop.
Recalling that the file that HP offers for download not work. I need the file obtained by backup BIOS directly of a laptop Envy DV7 7212nr that is running normally.
Thank you.This is the process to rollback to working version of BIOS.
1-Immediately after powering on hold/tap the Esc key.
2-When the menu appears, tap F2 for System Diagnostics.
3-In the list of items will be BIOS Management.Use the arrow key to move down & highlight it.Press Enter key.
4-You should now have a Rollback BIOS option.Use arrow key again to highlight and press Enter key.
******Clicking the Thumbs-Up button is a way to say -Thanks!.******

Need help with connecting file inputs to arrays
In this assignment I have a program that will do the following: display a list of names inputed by the user in reverse order, display any names that begin with M or m, and display any names with 5 or more letters. This is all done with arrays.
That was the fun part. The next part requires me to take the names from a Notepad file, them through the arrays and then output them to a second Notepad file.
Here is the original program: (view in full screen so that the code doesn't get jumbled)
import java.io.*; //Imports the Java library
class progB //Defines class
public static void main (String[] arguments) throws IOException
BufferedReader keyboard; //<-
InputStreamReader reader; // Allows the program to
reader = new InputStreamReader (System.in); // read the the keyboard
keyboard = new BufferedReader (reader); //<-
String name; //Assigns the name variable which will be parsed into...
int newnames; //...the integer variable for the amount of names.
int order = 0; //The integer variable that will be used to set the array size
String[] array; //Dynamic array (empty)
System.out.println (" How many names do you want to input?"); //This will get the number that will later define the array
name = keyboard.readLine ();
newnames = Integer.parseInt (name); // Converts the String into the Integer variable
array = new String [newnames]; //This defines the size of the array
DataInput Imp = new DataInputStream (System.in); //Allows data to be input into the array
String temp;
int length; //Defines the length of the array for a loop later on
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
{ // Takes the inputed names and
System.out.println (" Please input name "); // gives them a number according to
temp = keyboard.readLine (); // the order they were inputed in
array [order] = temp; //<-
for (order = newnames - 1 ; order >= 0 ; order--) //<-
{ // Outputs the names in the reverse
System.out.print (" \n "); // order that they were inputed
System.out.println (" Name " + order + " is " + array [order]); //<-
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
if (array [order].startsWith ("M") || array [order].startsWith ("m")) // Finds and outputs any and all
{ // names that begin with M or m
System.out.print (" \n "); //
System.out.println (array [order] + (" starts with M or m")); //
} //<-
for (order = 0 ; order < newnames ; order++) //<-
length = array [order].length (); //
if (length >= 5) // Finds and outputs names
{ // with 5 or more letters
System.out.print (" \n "); //
System.out.println ("Name " + array [order] + " have 5 or more letters "); //<-
}The notepad file contains the following names:
jim
laruie
tim
timothy
manny
joseph
matty
amanda
I have tried various methods but the one thing that really gets me is the fact that i can't find a way to connect the names to the arrays. Opening the file with FileInputStream is easy enough but using the names and then outputing them is quite hard. (unless i'm thinking too hard and there really is a simple method)By "connect", do you just mean you want to put the names into an array?
array[0] = "jim"
array[1] = "laruie"
and so on?
That shouldn't be difficult at all, provided you know how to open a file for reading, and how to read a line of text from it. You can just read the line of text, put it in the array position you want, until the file is exhausted. Then open a file for writing, loop through the array, and write a line.
What part of all that do you need help with? -
Need help putting photos on my iPad
Trying to put scanned photos on my iPad. I have tried iTunes but under devices there is no photos to select. Need help.
Photos doesn't appear on the left-hand sidebar under Devices, it appears on the right-hand side in a similar way as for selecting and syncing music, apps etc
If you are on iTunes 11 on your computer then you may want to re-enable the left-hand sidebar via View > Show Sidebar (option-command-S on a Mac, control-S on a PC), which might make it easier to navigate and my instructions may make more sense.
To sync photos, connect and select your iPad on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes (if you've enabled the sidebar), and on the right-hand side there should be a series of tabs, one of which should be Photos - if you select that tab you can then select which photo folders to sync to the iPad. There is a bit more info on this page. You will need to sync all the photos that you want on the iPad together in one go as only the most recent photo sync remains on the iPad - synced photos can't be deleted directly on the iPad, instead they are deleted by not including them in the next photo sync.
If you haven't enabled the sidebar, then from your library click 'iPad' at the top right of the screen and you should get a series of buttons along the top of the screen, including one for Photos
