Notes from backup drive.

Somehow I've lost all my notes via sync. Nothing in backup. However, I should have the notes on ext. backup drive and Carbonite. Where would I find the file and how to move to be restored?

It will be very difficult now, if possible at all. Installing Mavericks may have overwritten the same areas of the drive the data you want to recover was on. You also need to stop using the main disk as soon as possible.
1) Make a bootable clone of your current OS X installation to an external drive using Disk Utility, SuperDuper! or Carbon Copy Cloner.
2) Boot to that new clone. Do not startup to the original drive again for any reason until you've tried to recover the data.
3) Purchase either FileSalvage, or Data Rescue III. Both will run in demo mode to give you an idea what they can do, but even the demos are limited. Make sure to download the purchased software to the clone, and install it on the clone. Do not write anything else to the drive you are recovering data from.
4) Once you have launched either app, scouring a drive for recoverable files takes hours. Be prepared to wait quite a while before you even know if it was able to recover the file(s) you need.

Lightroom pulls up photoshop from backup drive rather than boot drive

I am using the latest versions of Lightroom and Photoshop for Mac.
I back up each night using super duper. In Lightroom, when I choose to Edit in Photoshop CC 2014, Lightroom loads Photoshop from my backup drive. The only workaround I have found is to dismount my backup drive. Is there a place I can go in either lightroom or photoshop to specify from which drive Photoshop should start when Editing from Lightroom. If I start photoshop first, then Lightroom "finds" the correct Photoshop, but I'd like to actually solve this rather than using a workaround. BTW, I used Adobe's instructions for uninstalling Lightroom and then re-installed, but that did not solve the problem.

ANSWER BELOW:
I discovered a work around - super duper has a way to create custom scripts which will NOT back up items you specify. I went to the backup drive of my main drive and deleted both photoshop CC and lightroom cc. After running super duper using the custom script (which they explain thoroughly in the latest super duper manual) and NOT backing up either Photoshop or Lightroom (in Applications) things are back to normal. If I need to reinstall either photoshop or lightroom, I can easily do that from the web.

Error on launch -- duplicate project from backup drive

When I launch FCP X, I get this error:
"/Volumes/Media Backup/Final Cut Events/Event is already open with the same identifier as /Volumes/Media/Final Cut Events/Event, so the second document cannot be opened."
I have a media drive and its backup daisy-chained and connected to my computer. (Carbon Copy Cloner takes care of the backup tasks. In case that is helpful.)
I guess FCPX sees the projects on the backup as the same as on the media drive?
I could live with it, but what happens is I open FCPX and it opens the event on the backup drive instead of the media drive. My edits are made to the backup and not the other way around.
Can you advise me what I should do about this? Should I just eject the backup drive every time I use FCPX? Or is there a way to label the backup drive so that FCPX recognizes it as such?
Thanks!

Just eject the backup dive when you using FCP. Or use Event Manager X to hide the backup events from FCP.

Remove "Other Files" from Backup Drive

I have 10.08 GB of "Other Files" on my backup drive that i need to get rid of, however i am unable to directly access the files to delete them.
Can anyone tell me how to do this?
The files are a mis-directed computer back up.

The Q drive typically contains the Factory Recovery data to restore to original factory settings. The S drive typically has the Rescue and Recovery standalone software. I dont think this is a Mis-directed backup. Are you trying to use an old Vista HDD as data Hdd now?
Read this link, it my help.
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-70829
IF this is an old hdd( now secondary drive), that USE to have a functional vista system, you can't View the Q drive
because it is NOT set as an ACTIVE partition. If this is the case, diskpart DOS command can make the Q drive Active, and thus delete able.

Lightroom opens Photoshop from backup drive

Sometimes LR opens PSCC 2014 from my attached BOOT CLONE (backup) drive, causing two concurrently running instances. This will happen if I have previously opened PSCC14 from the dock to load an image. LR doesn't realize PS is already running and opens it from the backup drive. This second instance finds the backup files from the fist instance and opens them as backup files. Very confusing and seems unsafe regarding losing work (i.e. which one to close down first). Once that happens, LR insists on continuing to open CC14 from my backup drive.
Have repeatedly tried to remedy this by making sure LR preferences opens the copy on the boot drive, but theres on way to differentiate from the two drives. If I shut BOOT CLONE down LR will open the copy on the boot drive, but only temporarily. I have no idea how LR even sees the BOOT CLONE, or why.
Bottom line is I never know for sure what's going on. Need a solution for this please.

How to import photos into iphoto from backup drive to new computer

2008 "Vintage" iMac recently died. Data was saved on external hard drive. Purchased new iMac, OS 10.9.4, how to get old iphoto library from hard drive to new computer. Iphoto 9.5.1. Thanks

Data was saved on external hard drive. Purchased new iMac, OS 10.9.4, how to get old iphoto library from hard drive to new computer.
Teresa, in what way way the data saved to an external hard drive? Do you have a copy of your iPhoto library on that drive? Or is it a clone of your old system drive ? A Time Machine backup?
And which iPhoto version did you have on your old Mac?
If your external drive holds a copy of your iPhoto library, you can simply connect this drive your new mac and drag the library over. It will depend in the version of your old iPhoto, how you can open the the old library. If it is an iPhoto '09 or '11 library, you can aunch iPhoto with the options key held down and select the library as your new iPhoto library. If the iPhoto version is older, you will have to ru the iPhoto Library Upgrader first.

"Open With" Keeps opening up applications from backup drive

This has been going on for months and its driving me crazy.
If I right click on a jpeg, click open with photoshop, it opens up the photoshop app on my backup drive and gives a warning message saying the application moved and gives the option to update it even tho i already have photoshop open. It opens up 2 of them.
I dragged the whole applications folder on my backup drive to the spotlight privacy and even tried dragging photoshop itself, but it still opens with the wrong one.
I also rebuilt the framework with the terminal command with no luck.
I tried adding a period to the beginning of the photoshop app name so it would become invisible but it still opens it.
It's getting really annoying and I am out of ideas to fix it.
Can someone please help me!!!
Thanks!

unplug the external and rebuild your launch services database.
run the following terminal command
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
then it won't show the apps on the external even when you plug it in provided you don't open them by hand or don't open the folder containing them in finder.

After reinstall, Aperture 1.5.1 doesn't show vault images from backup drive

Hi folks,
Okay, I am stuck. For some reason Aperture would not start when I double click the icon, so I reinstalled it from the disk and upgraded it to 1.5.1. I have all the images I was using before the crash backed up in a vault on my back up drive but when I open Aperture the folders and project do not appear in Aperture. I right click on the vault and say open with Aperture.app but nothing happens and I can't seem to access the files with Aperture.
If anyone can help, it would be really great and appreciated.
Thank you
Scott

Hi Scott,
Have you checked the Aperture - > Preferences and library location?
Default should be ~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary
Is there a ~/Pictures/Aperture Library.aplibrary in Finder?
If so, how large it is? does it seem to contain the images(sizewise)?
Restoring vault:
Have you tried opening Aperture, select File - Vault - Restore Library

If you synced your iPhone with itunes.
to restore from a previous backup, be sure to go into iTunes before you
connect your iPod Touch or iPhone and set iTunes > preferences > devices
and check “prevent iPods and iPhones from syncing automatically.This ensures we don’t erase the previously stored backup.

Yoga 11s won't power on - clicking sound not from hard drive

Looks like I'm two months past warranty, and my yoga 11s is not powering on. Symptoms are as follows, would really appreciate someone's help!
When pressing the power button, the light comes on
A light clicking sound starts
The fan does start spinning
That's it... screen does not come on
When you unplug the charger, a loud single beep results
I took apart the laptop to try to pinpoint the sound, and I believe it's coming from somewhere around the processor. Could it be the heat sink? It's a solid state drive and I don't think the clicking is coming from there...
Any one else have this problem? Any suggestions?!

I had a similar problem and the screen was blank. Not sure if this will help. I searched for a day for solutions but in the end it was the screen that was turned off. I simply pressed the brightness button and one of the other screen buttons on the keyboard and it was alive.

Boot older G3/9.1 not from hard drive or CD?

I have an old ibook G3 w/ OS 9 whose hard drive crashed and the CD drive doesn't work, so can't book from a CD. I want to use my ibook g4 (w/ Mac OS X 10.3.9) to try to read and get files off of the hard drive. (Either boot the old computer using my newer ibook or just try to read the older hard drive from the newer ibook.) The G3 ibook doesn't have firewire of course - I can't connect via ethernet and boot could I?
Any other options? Could I boot from a flash drive (would be older USB 1)? Could I boot from an ipod over USB?
Any ideas? Thanks!!!

jbal77...
Sorry, but you lost me on the rational of using another computer to read a crashed drive? Doesn't dead mean dead?
You need some recovery service for the crashed drive not another computer. Also monkeying with a bad drive makes it less likely for successful recovery.
You didn't mention the "order" of failures with the CD and HD. If they both went at the same time there could be other mechanical issues such as the ATA controller that interfaces the 2 may of went bad. That may mean the possibility of a bad logic board.
I think you would be better helped by some professional that can get a hands on look to see what exactly is bad. I also would refrain from trying to interface a bad computer with a good one, as you may end up with 2 dead computers in the process.

I'm getting classes that are not from JDBC Driver

Hello
I configured a data source connection against RAC using the oracle.jdbc.pool.OracleDataSource. When I get the connection and check what classes I'm getting I get the following:
java.sql.Connection: com.evermind.sql.DriverManagerConnectionPoolConnection
java.sql.PreparedStatement: com.evermind.sql.FilterPreparedStatement
where I should be getting OraclePoolConnection and OraclePreparedStatement.

Launch System Preferences and select the Mail, Contacts, and Calendars tab. Now select each account that's listed and see which ones have a checkmark by notes.
Your strange notes must be coming from one of these accounts. If you have only one account with Notes checkmark it must be that one. Change the password to that account. If you have more than one account with Notes you'll have to experiment to determine which one the notes are coming from or, of course, you could change the password for all the involved accounts.
I can't think of any other way you would be getting notes into the notepad. (Unless someone is playing a prank and actually writing them while your computer is unattended)

TM Not Finding Backup Drives

I have a LaCie 320 GB disk connected via a home network on another computer (PowerbookG4). It appears in "Devices" and I can freely access it, but TM does not find it. Is there anything I can do, or do I have to plug in the drive directly? Thanks

Is there any work-around or alternative to the local disk requirement? Just bought a TB NAS drive. It's always on the network and available, so why can't I use it?
