Need help with data recovery

I accidentally formatted a partition on my ext HDD while trying out Time Machine on my new MBP. Need to recover the partition and erased files urgently.
Just went to try out a trial version of VirtualLab Data Recovery software and it seemed to work. Managed to retrieve some files which were erased. Has anyone ever tried this software? It costs USD99 for 500gb of data. Kind of expensive but I believe will be much cheaper than going to a data recovery centre. Or any other softwares to recommend?

Hi Michael
Thanks. Can this software recover data from external HDD that are corrupted and cannot mount? I've another ext HDD which has been damaged some time back. Brought it to a data recovery centre for a quotation and they've given me a ridiculous quotation! Hence hope to find a good software which could restore both reformatted hard drives and damaged drives.

  • Need Help with Dates

    I am printing a calendar and certain events will be helds on certain dates.
    One can edit the event if it has not passed the date. Events in the past can be viewed but not edited.
    When I query the database the date must be formatted dd-MMM-yy
    I am able to get today's date by doing this:
    java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
    String formatString = "dd-MMM-yy";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString);
    String today_str = sdf.format(today);
    My code for printing the calendar: I left out some of the table formatting in the JSP page.
    GregorianCalendar d = new GregorianCalendar();
    int today = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    int month = d.get(Calendar.MONTH);
    d.set(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
    int weekday = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    for(int i = Calendar.SUNDAY; i < weekday; i++)
    out.print("<td> </td>");
    do {
    int day = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH);
    out.print("<td>" + day + "</td>");
    String formatString = "dd-MMM-yy";
    SimpleDateFormat sdf = new SimpleDateFormat(formatString);
    //if(event exists on this day
    // Get results
    // print link for viewing
    // if (after today) print link for edit
    if(weekday == Calendar.SATURDAY)
    out.println("</tr><tr valign=top>");
    d.add(Calendar.DAY_OF_MONTH,1);
    weekday = d.get(Calendar.DAY_OF_WEEK);
    } while(d.get(Calendar.MONTH) == month);
    if(weekday != Calendar.SUNDAY)
    System.out.println();
    The part I need help on is this:
    //if(event exists on this day
    // Get results
    // print link for viewing
    // if (after today) print link for edit
    I'm looping through each day of the month to print the days. I have the month, day, year as integers. How can I create a date object out of that and compare it to today's date to test if it's before or after today???
    All the function in the Date class that I think would do this have been deprecated.

    Need Help with Dates
    Here is some information about dates:
    There are many edible palm fruits, and one of the most widespread and favored of these is the data (Phoenix dactylifera). Dates were cultivated in ancient land from Mesopotamia to prehistoric Egypt, possibly as early as 6000 B.C. Then--as now--dates were a staple for the natives of those dry regions. Much later, Arabs spread dates around northern Africa, and dates were introduced into California by the Spaniards in 1765, around Mission San Ignacio.
    The date prefers dry, hot climates, because date fruits are injured at temperatures of 20 degrees F, and the damp climate of the California coast was not favorable for fruit production. In the mid-1800s, the date industry developed in California's hot interior valleys and in Arizona. Now the date industry in the United States is localized mostly in the Coachella Valley, where the sandy soils permit the plants to be deeply irrigated. Today the new varieties, mostly introduced in this century, produce about 40 million pounds of dates per annum, or over 60% of the dates consumed in this country. The rest are imported mainly from Persia. According to one survey, about one million people are engaged entirely in date palm cultivation worldwide.
    Hope that helps.

  • IMAC Fusion Hard Drive failure, help with data recovery

    I've got a Late 2012 iMAC 27 Inches 3.4GHZ with a Fusion 3.1TB HDD. My machine has booting issue the past few weeks and when contacted through Apple Care UK, after a few over the phone diagnostics they wanted me to take the machine over to get the Hard Drive checked. I had transferred some of my vital data from another HDD a few days before that and did not have an up to date backup. When booked in they said the HDD will have to be replaced and they will migrate the data over. But when I collected the machine, they said they couldn't transfer data as 'it didn't mount' and therefore unable to transfer. I was gutted as I have 2 wedding on their which were WIP and had to be delivered to the client in a few days. I have got my old HDD from the apple store...but unable to read data..can you help? Guess as a final resort I'd have to obtain the expensive data recovery services.

    Ouch...
    But before going for an expensive data recovery service, you have some other options.
    At first you have to get that harddrive connected to your iMac. There are several solutions to that. One is to buy a SATA USB Docking Bay (see picture). You can put the harddisk in it and connect it via USB to your iMac.
    Next you'll need recovery software. Disk Utility will probably not help you, but it is worth the try (because it is free and comes with OSX).
    A great piece of software to look at is DiskWarrior. It once helped me accessing a dying External Harddisk and got most of the data off it before it really died. There are more applications, just google 'Data Recovery OSX', and you will find a lot more.
    Oh, and make sure to start a good back-up plan for the future. Time Machine is great, or Carbon Copy Cloner, and maybe invest in a decent NAS to copy your data on.
    Good luck!

  • Need help with date range searches for Table Sources in SES

    Hi all,
    I need help, please. I am trying to satisfy a Level 1 client requirement for the ability to search for records in crawled table sources by a date and/or date range. I have performed the following steps, and did not get accurate results from Advanced searching for date. Please help me understand what I am doing wrong, and/or if there is a way to define a date search attribute without creating a LOV for a date column. (My tables have 500,00 rows.)
    I am using SES 10.1.8.3 on Windows 32.
    My Oracle 10g Spatial Table is called REPORTS and this table has the following columns:
    TRACKNUM Varchar2
    TITLE Varchar2
    SUMMARY CLOB
    SYMBOLCODE Varchar2
    Timestamp Date
    OBSDATE Date
    GEOM SDO_GEOMETRY
    I set up the REPORTS table source in SES, using TRACKNUM as the Primary Key (unique and not null), and SUMMARY as the CONTENT Column. In the Table Column Mappings I defined TITLE as String and TITLE.
    Under Global Settings > Search Attributes I defined a new Search Attribute (type Date) called DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY).
    Went back to REPORTS source previously defined and added a new Table Column Mapping - mapping OBSDATE to the newly defined DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) search attribute.
    I then modified the Schedule for the REPORTS source Crawler Policy to “Process All Documents”.
    Schedule crawls and indexes entire REPORTS table.
    In SES Advanced Search page, I enter my search keyword, select Specific Source Group as REPORTS, select All Match, and used the pick list to select the DATE OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY) Attribute Name, operator of Greater than equal, and entered the Value 01-JAN-07. Then the second attribute name of DATE_OCCURRED (DD-MON-YY), less than equals, 10-JAN-07.
    Search results gave me 38,000 documents, and the first 25 I looked at had dates NOT within the 01-JAN-07 / 10-JAN-07 range. (e.g. OBSDATE= 10-MAR-07, 22-SEP-07, 02-FEB-08, etc.)
    And, none of the results I opened had ANY dates within the SUMMARY CLOB…in case that’s what was being found in the search.
    Can someone help me figure out how to allow my client to search for specific dated records in a db table using a single column for the date? This is a major requirement and they are anxiously awaiting my solution.
    Thanks very much, in advance….

    raford,
    Thanks very much for your reply. However, from what I've read in the SES Admin Document is that (I think) the date format DD/MM/YYYY pertains only to searches on "file system" sources (e.g. Word, Excel, Powerpoint, PDF, etc.). We have 3 file system sources among our 25 total sources. The remaining 22 sources are all TABLE or DATABASE sources. The DBA here has done a great job getting the data standardized using the typical/default Oracle DATE type format in our TABLE sources (DD-MON-YY). Our tables have anywhere from 1500 rows to 2 million rows.
    I tested your theory that the dates we are entering are being changed to Strings behind the scenes and on the Advanced Page, searched for results using OBSDATE equals 01/02/2007 in an attempt to find data that I know for certain to be in the mapped OBSDATE table column as 01-FEB-07. My result set contained data that had an OBSDATE of 03-MAR-07 and none containing 01-FEB-07.
    Here is the big issue...in order for my client to fulfill his primary mission, one of the top 5 requirements is that he/she be able to find specific table rows that are contain a specific date or range of dates.
    thanks very much!

  • Need help with date and time calculations please

    Hello there.. Im stuck, and im hoping someone can help..
    Working on a list to manage and track PTO.  User completes PTO request form,
    Fields
    Name
    Start Date (with time)
    End Date (with time)
    Total Number of Days/hours requested: (calculation)
    Full Day: (Yes/No)
    ok business need
    user has the ability to request a certain number of hours as opposed to a full day.
    After searching around on google. I found this calculation to help me figure out how many BUSINESS days being requested.
    =IF(ISERROR(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d")),"",(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d"))+1-INT(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],"d")/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))<0,2,0)-IF(OR(AND(WEEKDAY([End
    Date])=7,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),AND(WEEKDAY([End Date])=1,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1)),1,0)-IF(AND(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1,(WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))>0),1,0)-IF(AND(NOT(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),WEEKDAY([End Date])=7),1,0))
    This works great as long as its a [Full Day]="YES", displays results in column labeled Number of days
    now if [Full Day]="No", displays results in column labeled Number of Hours
    BUT this is my issue (well part of it) it calcuate the correct number of hours.. but puts a "1" in "Number of Days" why.. dates have not changed.. I think Its something with the above calculation but I could be way off.
    the end result is I need number of days to concat with number of hours 
    i.e 1 full day 4 hours  1.4
        0 full day 5 hours  0.5
        1 full day 0 hours  1.0
    so that the total can be deducted via workflow.. from the remaining balance in a tracker. (seperate list) 
    Any angels out there??

    Posnera-
    Try changing time zones and see if the travel itinerary times change.

  • I need help with Bitlocker recovery

    Hi thanks for taking the time to read this. My laptop was running very rough so I put all my information onto my external hard drive. I wasn't thinking that my external would be locked if I re-downloaded windows 7 ultimate on my computer but guess what
    it's locked now. My first question is does the full bit-locker recovery key identification help me at all? My second question is either know I re-downloaded windows 7 on my computer is the info I'm looking for still obtainable? I really need this info but
    I'm afraid it might be lost. I feel stupid lol.

    I don't have access to the Bitlocker recovery tool on my version of Windows, but when I was supporting a bitlocker environment, you could install a bitlocker recovery tool on Vista.  There was an update you had to download and install, then add the
    Windows feature for Bitlocker Recovery Tool.  You would enter the first 8 alphanumeric characters of the recovery key and it would provide the 48 character numeric recovery password.
    I have a Windows Server 2012 R2 vm that does not appear to have that feature.
    Maybe try this link:
    http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/210071-bitlocker-drive-encryption-unlock-locked-data-removable-drive.html
    There are also a lot of references to Bitlocker Repair, which would probably work as well even though the drive isn't damaged, but you would need another drive on which to decrypt the data.  But the link above should work for you.

  • Help with data recovery on failed MBP HD Please

    Hello
    My MacBook Pro 160 GB froze the other night and I had to hard reset it. Ever since I have not been able to turn it on and log into the OS (Mountain Lion). All I could do was get the Apple logo when you turn the MacBook on or a folder with a question mark (a couple times).
    I took it to the Apple store even though I was out of warranty and they still helped (got to love Apple customer service!). The genious plugged in a cable and did his diagnosis and it froze tyring to load the into the hard drive but said that the OS was reconginzed in this diganostic machine so he said it was probably a harware issue and not software.
    Long story short, they took it to the back and tried a new Hard drive cable, which was not the issue. They said that they were able to log into the HD in the back and that all my infomation was still on there but it was really slow to use and said I should replace the HD and transfer the data off of that failed drive onto the new one.
    However, I dont now how to do this on a Mac. Do I get an enclosure or a "HD sled" as the genious recommended. Do I use software to recover, and is my data really safe? Please anyone, help me out. I have some pictures I really do not want to lose and form now on will make sure I buy an external HD to backup all my data via Time Machine.
    Thank you so much.
    Will make sure to give you 10 points if you can help me or 5 if you give input.

    Buy an enclosure for your old drive, and you will need to buy a new drive to replace it.
    How to replace or upgrade a drive in a laptop
    Step One: Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger, Leopard or Snow Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    Step Two: Remove the old drive and install the new drive.  Place the old drive in an external USB enclosure.  You can buy one at OWC who is also a good vendor for drives.
    Step Three: Boot from the external drive.  Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager appears.  Select the icon for the external drive then click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Step Four: New Hard Drive Preparation
      1. Open Disk Utility in your Utilities folder.
      2. After DU loads select your new hard drive (this is the entry with the
          mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of
          the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive
          is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  Otherwise, click on the
          Partition tab in the DU main window.
      3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from
          the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended
          (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to
          GUID  then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and
          wait until the process has completed.
      4. Select the volume you just created (this is the sub-entry under the
          drive entry) from the left side list. Click on the Erase tab in the DU main
          window.
      5. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the
          Options button, check the button for Zero Data and click on OK to
          return to the Erase window.
      6. Click on the Erase button. The format process can take up to several
          hours depending upon the drive size.
    Step Five: Clone the old drive to the new drive
      1. Open Disk Utility from the Utilities folder.
      2. Select the destination volume from the left side list.
      3. Click on the Restore tab in the DU main window.
      4. Check the box labeled Erase destination.
      5. Select the destination volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Destination entry field.
      6. Select the source volume from the left side list and drag it to the
          Source entry field.
      7. Double-check you got it right, then click on the Restore button.
    Destination means the new internal drive. Source means the old external drive.
    Step Six: Open the Startup Disk preferences and select the new internal volume.  Click on the Restart button.  You should boot from the new drive.  Eject the external drive and disconnect it from the computer.
    The above takes you through the entire process that you need to follow. This assumes you have removed the old drive, installed the new drive in the computer, and installed the old drive in an external enclosure.
    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. Firewire Direct
      4. California Drives
      5. 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.
    The above sites also sell replacement hard drives. You are looking for 2.5" SATA Notebook-sized hard drives and enclosures. If you want good performance spend a little extra on the hard drive. Look for 7200 RPM drives with 16 MB cache. You are looking for a drive with SATA 3.0 Gb/s support with a capacity of around 500 GBs that is not more than 9.5 mm high.
    Any cheap USB enclosure will be suitable for the data transfer. You should find one under $25.00.

  • Need help with Data Model for Private Messaging

    Sad to say, but it looks like I just really screwed up the design of my Private Messaging (PM) module...  *sigh*
    What looked good on paper doesn't seem to be practical in application.
    I am hoping some of you Oracle gurus can help me come up with a better design!!
    Here is my current design...
    member -||-----0<- private_msg_recipient ->0------||- private_msg
    MEMBER table
    - id
    - email
    - username
    - first_name
    PRIVATE_MSG_RECIPIENT table
    - id
    - member_id_to
    - message_id
    - flag
    - created_on
    - updated_on
    - read_on
    - deleted_on
    - purged_on
    PRIVATE_MSG table
    - id
    - member_id_from
    - subject
    - body
    - flag
    - sent_on
    - updated_on
    - sender_deleted_on
    - sender_purged_on
    ***Short explanation of how the application currently works...
    - Sender creates a PM and sends it to a Recipient.
    - The PM appears in the Sender's "Sent" folder in my website
    - The PM also appears in the Recipient's "Incoming" folder.
    - If the Recipient deletes the PM, I set "deleted_on" and my code moves the PM from Recipient's "Inbox" to the "Trash" folder.  (Record doesn't actually move!)
    - If the Recipient "permanently deletes" the PM from his/her "Trash", I set "purged_on" and my code removes the PM from the Recipient's Message Center.  (Record still in database!)
    - If the Sender deletes the PM, I set "sender_deleted_on" and my code moves the PM from the Sender's "Sent" folder to the "Trash" folder.  (Record doesn't actually move!)
    - If the Recipient "permanently deletes" the PM from his/her "Trash", I set "sender_purged_on" and my code removes the PM from the Sender's Message Center.  (Record still in database!)
    Here are my problems...
    1.) I can't store PM's forever.
    2.) Because of my design, the Sender really owns the PM, and if I add code to REMOVE the PM from the database once it has a "sender_purged_on" value, then that would in essence remove the PM from the Recipient's Inbox as well!!
    In order to remove a PM from the database, I would have to make sure that *both* the Recipient has "purged_on" value and the Sender has a "sender_purged_on" value.  (Lot's of Application Logic for something which should be simple?!)
    I am wondering if I need to change my Data Model to something that allows my autonomy when it comes to the Sender and/or the Recipient deleting the PM for good...
    One the other hand, I believe I did a good job or normalizing the data.  And my current Data Model is the most efficient when it comes to saving storage space and not having dups.
    Maybe I do indeed just need need to write application logic - or a cron job - which checks to make sure that *both* the Sender an Recipient have deleted the PM before it actually flushes it out of my database to free up space?!
    Of course, if one party sits on their PM's forever, then I can never clear things out of my database to free up space...
    What should I do??
    Some expert advice would be welcome!!
    Sincerely,
    Debbie

    rp0428,
    I think I am starting to see my evil ways and where I went wrong... 
    > Unfortunately his design is just as denormalized as yours
    I see that now.  My bad!!
    > the last two columns have NOTHING to do with the message itself so do NOT belong in a normalized table.
    > And his design:
    >
    > Same comment - those last two columns also have NOTHING to do with the message itself.
    Right.
    > The message table should just have columns directly related to the message. It is a list of unique messages: no more, no less.
    Right.
    > Mark gave you hints to the proper normalized design using an INTERSECT table.
    > that table might list: sender, recipient, sender_delete_flag, recipient_delete_flag.
    > As mark suggested you could also have one or two DATEs related to when the delete flags were set. I would just make the columns DATE fields.
    >
    > Once both date columns have a value you can delete the message (or delete all messages older than 30+ days).
    >
    > When both flags are set you can delete the message itself that references the sender and the message sent.
    Okay, how does this revised design look...
    MEMBER --||-----0<-- PM_DISTRIBUTION -->0-------||-- PRIVATE_MSG
    MEMBER table
    - id
    - email
    - username
    - first_name
    and so on...
    PM_DISTRIBUTION table (Maybe you can think of a better name??)
    - id
    - private_msg_id
    - sender_id
    - recipient_id
    - sender_flag
    - sender_deleted_on
    - sender_purged_on
    - recipient_flag
    - recipient_read_on
    - recipient_deleted_on
    - recipient_purged_on
    PRIVATE_MSG
    - id
    - subject
    - body
    - sent_on
    Is that what you were describing to me?
    Quickly reflecting on this new design...
    1.) It should now be in 3rd Normal Form, right?
    2.) It should allow the Sender and Recipient to freely and independently "delete" or "purge" a PM with no impact on the other party, right?
    Here are a few Potential Issues that I see, though...
    a.) What is to stop there from being TWO SENDERS of a PM?
    In retrospect, that is why I originally stuck "member_id_from" in the PRIVATE_MSG table!!  The logic being, that a PM only ever has *one* Sender.
    I guess I would have to add either Application Logic, or Database Logic, or both to ensure that a given PM never has more than one Sender, right?
    b.) If the design above is what you were hinting at, and if it is thus "correct", then is there any conflict with my Business Rule: "Any given User shall only be allowed 100 Messages between his/her Incoming, Sent and Trash folders."
    Because the Sender is no longer "tightly bound" to the PRIVATE_MSG, in my scenario above...
    Debbie could send 100 PM's, hit her quota, then turn around and delete and purge all 100 Sent PM's and that should in no way impact the 100 PM's sitting in other Users' Inboxes, right??
    I think this works like I want...
    Sincerely,
    Debbie

  • Need help with dates  please-urgent

    Hi folks, please help me with this if you can.

  • Need help with data grid...

    I have setup a profile card which displays information about individuals by pulling data from an XML database.
    I have multiple text fields and couple movie clips that display images but i need a datagrid to display stats for each individual.
    The stat information is set as attributes on a array of XML nodes each node is a year.
    Example XML
    <hockey>
         <profile>
              <name>Wayne Gretzky</name>
              <image>pic1</image>
              <dob>Jan 26, 1961</dob>
              <position>Centre</position>
              <height>6'0"</height>
              <weight>185lbs</weight>
              <history>"important information"</history>
              <medal_record>
                        <medal standing ="Silver" Event =" 1981 Canada Cup" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
                        <medal standing ="Gold" Event =" 1984 Canada Cup" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
                        <medal standing ="Gold" Event =" 1987 Canada Cup" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
                        <medal standing ="Gold" Event =" 1991 Canada Cup" sport="Ice Hockey"/>
                        <medal standing ="Silver" Event =" 1996 World Cup of Hockey" sport="Ice Hockey"/>

         </profile>
         <profile>

              </medal_record>
         </profile>
    </hockey>
    The red information is what i need to get displayed by the Data Grid for each profile.
    Standing
    Event
    Sport
    Gold
    1981 Canada Cup
    Ice Hockey
    Bronze
    1984 Canada Cup
    Ice Hockey
    The swf has buttons to cycle through the profiles which loads the new information from the XML.
    If you have a good understanding of how the dataGRIDs work please let me know if you can help as this is the last problem holding me from finishing this.
    Thanks in advance.

    Update... I got the data pulling in but it doesnt change as the profile changes with the rest of the data.

  • Need help with contact recovery

    i need some help please
    i lost my bb 9900 last week and now am using a bb 8520 that has os 5.0 i believe
    supposedly bb protect will not work with this phone so I cannot access my weekly backups from protect website
    is there anyway i can transfer those online backups to my home mac computer so i can load to this phone without installing protect app? (it wont let me install on this phone)
    if not - can someone from RIM send to me? i can see the backup files on protect website - latest from around when i lost my phone.
    the reason for all this is i have many BBM contacts - and previously, i was able to restore using email when i got my 9900 and it loaded successfully - now, when i try retore by email - it states no contacts linked to my email address!
    i dont have these bbm contacts on my mac since the last backup on the computer was last year - since then, i have only backed up using protect
    i am having no luck at all!!!!

    but i dont understand your last part:
    (this doesnt show up in my options tab for contacts)
    As for the continued inability to restore your contacts from BB Protect, also check this:
    On the BlackBerry smartphone, navigate to Contacts > Options > Desktop Contact List. Set Wireless Synchronization to No.
    Check that same setting for any Contact Lists you have displayed in the Contacts Options area.
    not sure what this all means > Further, if you are going to use Google as your Contact list source, then restoring from any source is moot...if Google has the correct data, then allowing it to continue OTA synchronization would be your best approach.
    My point was that the Option setting indicated may or may not exist...if it exists, then it needs to be set to NO. If it does not exist, then it is not relevant (which I think is what applies in your case). In any event, since you were able to restore, all is well as far as contacts are concerned.

    so i have my old BBM pin - how can i retrieve the BBM contacts from there? its linked to my gmail address because i restored by email to my 9900 last time
    You have your old BBM PIN? Hmmm...I'm not quite sure what you mean by that. Knowing the PIN is just that...knowing the unique PIN that was assigned to your old BB at time of manufacture. But, for obtaining your old BBM contacts, you'd need the actual device or a successful backup that was previously created (either the Desktop Software or via the in-BBM backup method). Knowing only the PIN itself now, I don't see how that applies. Perhaps I do not understand?
    Now, if what you did was do the remote in-BBM backup using an email address, then that's a different thing indeed. But I don't exactly know how that works...it may well be that it only works for the exact same BB and not to another BB. I've always used the local file BBM contact backup as I then know for certain that I have control over the backup file.

    For free, only if you can convince your mobile service provider to escalate your case into RIM.
    For a fee, you can ask via Incident Support, but it does cost to just ask the initial question, and I've no idea if there even is a way to accomplish what you are wanting to have them do (I rather doubt it, but I still do not quite understand what your request is):

  • Need help with Backup Recovery using Rman - Point in Time.

    Hi all,
    I am trying to recover my database to a certain point in time. Here are the details below.
    Oracle database version is. 11G R1. on 2 Node RAC. OS is AIX.
    Database name is Sales.
    Due to a mistake by the Application team, the database is written over by bad data. Now I have to restore the database in to a point in time, where the database was good.
    For this, i took a whole (full) RMAN backup, everything, all the archivelog files and Controlfiles as well.
    After doing this, i dropped the entire database. So now everything is clean.
    Now i have to restore and recover the database to this point in time.. 03/16/2011 12:45:00
    Please guide.
    The backups are located at.. /backup/sales/rman/
    I am trying various things, but each time i get the msg..
    ORA-01507: database not mounted
    I understand.. the reason for this message is the controlfile does not exist.. as the database is in mount mode. But as i said.. i have dropped the database in order to proceed with entire restoration.
    But i have taken a whole backup.. which also includes the controlfiles + archivefiles.
    Please guide.. with proper steps and commands.

    Hi,
    Priror to start with restore and recovery - Try to restore the control file from backups "/backup/sales/rman/"
    Then further you can mount the db and further carry on with recovery (catalog the backups prior to recovery)
