Please Help Me Is there any way of recovering files from time machine

Recently had a new hard drive fitted,tried to restore files from time machine,but failed went to Apple store with my imac and time machine.
They said use migration app, needed to add a new user profile to do this.
When entering time machine there were lots of previous backups, Still didnt restore everything and when it did it said did not have permission to open them.
Anyway have deleted the later user profile from my mac and now my time machine only goes back to two weeks ago.
is there anyway that i canrecover what seems to be lost files as I have lost photos,movies etc
Many thanks

Since you haven't upgraded your iPhone from 4.3 there will also not be an iCloud back-up.,,, so.....
So there is no way to restore it, but before you start rekeying your contacts you should.
1.  Back it up on Itunes (11.0.1) and a computer, it will help you upgrade your IOS (6.0.1) at the same time.
2.  When complete ensure you have a back-up.
3.  Set-up iCloud and iCloud back-up
4.  Start keying....
Sorry in advance..

  • Is there any way to recover files from the guest account on a Mac, after the machine has been logged out?

    I had uploaded some photos onto iPhoto on the guest account for my visitors, intending to burn them on departure.
    I updated my Mac with a system software update, which required reboot so I of course types in the admin username/password to do so.
    I received no warning message "caution: all temporary files in guest account will be deleted if you logout" as if you logout directly from the guest account, so I had forgotten about the guest account wipe.
    Just today I switched to the guest user, and was dismayed to find the files gone.
    Surely there must be some way to recover these files? Can anyone help?!
    Thanks

    They possibly still exist on the hard drive if you haven't overwritten that space already.
    Your only hope is to try a file recovery program like Data Rescue 3 or some sort like that.

    I hear you, I do.  But the problem is that with my Mac, I have to stop and postpone whatever project I am working on while the backup occurs.  It just slows down my computer.
    Then something is wrong with your backups.  Changing the interval will only deal with they symptoms, not the actual problem, and you won't be as well protected as with hourly backups.
    If the backups are much larger than they ought to be,  see #D4 in Time Machine - Troubleshooting.
    If the sizes are reasonable, but it seems to take too long, see #D2 there.

  • Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition?

    Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition? <eom>

    You could try using 'metarecover'. I don't know if that works after a metaclear, but it's the only think that I could think to try.
    I think you could brute-force search for UFS filesystems within the underlying storage, but that's pretty tedious.

    Check item #18 of Time Machine FAQ, particularly the material in #3 of the "How to" section.

  • HT4910 i accidently deleted a note from my iphone 5 is there any way to recover it from an icloud backup?

    I accidently deleted a note from my iphone 5 is there any way to recover it from icloud?

    You have to start by erasing the phone so if there's any newer data on it that is not contained in your last backup, you'll need to save that first.  Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup.  Then sign into your iCloud account and choose your backup to restore from.
    Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take a while to finish.

  • 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!

  • Tried to sync my itouch with my laptop and accidentally erased all of my music.  HELP! Is there any way to recover my 800  songs?

    I attempted to sync my ipod touch with my laptop and accidentally wiped out all of my music!  How can I recover my 1000+ songs?!!!  PLEASE HELP!

    All media should be in the iTunes library on your computer.
    Syncing is ONE way from computer to iPhone.
    If the media was on your device, but not in your computer, then it's likely gone.
    Do you have a backup of your media somewhere else? Like an external drive?

  • HELP!  Is there any way to recover emptied trash?  I deleted christmas.

    Help me save Christmas! I thought I was ejecting my camera but somehow I deleted my photos, and anal me empties the trash without looking.

    So, you deleted the files from the camera before you were able to import them onto your computer, or did you accidentally erase them from both the camera and your computer?
    If it's the latter, stop using the computer immediately, as any new files that might get created (including temporary files) can potentially overwrite the areas on the disk where your photos were stored.
    If nothing has overwritten the areas on your disk where the photos were stored, software such as Data Rescue II has a good chance of recovering your files.
    If you have a separate disk to boot from, do so, and run any recovery applications from that disk.

  • Is there any way to recover pictures from my new iPhone?

    I had gotten an iphone 5 for christmas and since then had been using it regularly and everything was going perfectly fine. The only thing I was dumb enough not to do was plug it into my computer to get it all set up on itunes and such. So yesterday I finally decided to do that, and I made the stupid mistake of not regestering it as a new iphone and instead hit the restore from old phone back up thinking that it would just update my apps or the notes that I was missing from my old phone. So all the pictures from my phone before the restore are completely gone, and after trying a bunch of different things I just resorted to set it to factory settings and start new. But now one thing that is strange is that my photos were (supposively) saving to the photo stream, so from before the first restore I was able to find about 70 of the 400 pictures I am currently missing, but what I find weird is that the stream only has the first 50 photos that I took and then the last 24 that I had taken since the beginning of last week. So I guess my question is if there is a way to restore pictures from your photostream or access it's data at all? I don't know what else to do to get my photos back.
    thanks in advance.

    How long has it been since you setup the iPhone again and entered your iCloud information? You might just have to give it a little more time to finish adding the other Photo Stream photos.
    Try checking the Photo Stream on your PC or Mac.
    iCloud: Photo Stream FAQ
    On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture. In iPhoto 9.4 or later or in Aperture 3.4 or later, open the My Photo Stream album in the Photo Stream view.
    On a PC using Windows 8, from the Start screen, select Photo Stream. On a PC using Windows 7 or VIsta, click the Windows Start button, and then Pictures. Click Photo Stream under the Favorites menu in the panel on the left. Double-click My Photo Stream to view your photos.

  • Is there any way to recover files lost from restarting my Mac?

    I had Garage Band and Pages documents open, and all of a sudden an opaque grey screen slid down over the screen and it asked me to restart the computer by holding down the power button. I did that because it wouldn't let me do anything else, and when I turned it back on, my Pages document and my Garage Band song were gone. Is there anything on Mac that does what PCs do, when it shuts down unexpectedly it saves your files? It would be really helpful to recover those documents!!

    It may be possible to recover some erased ones, but you must quit using the Computer immediately, because the OS will think it can write to those freed blocks on the disk.
