Problems Accessing Photos After System Crash

Hi,
Last night my system inexplicably crashed after working fine all day. I called Applecare, and they told me to clear everything and start from scratch. I had just used backup the night before so everything came over fine. I'm just having problems with my photos.
How I noticed my system crashed was that my iPhoto library disappeared, and when I went to open the files manually, they would not open either, saying they were corrupt. I went to DiskUtility and it wouldn't fix it either, so that's how I had to reboot everything from my backup drive.
So I open iPhoto and the pictures seem to be there, but they are "squished." When I click on them to open, the edit screen is blank. My albums also did not survive the reinstall (even though my playlists from iTunes did). I went to open some photos directly from my "iPhoto Library" folder, and they open fine in Preview. So I thought I would trash all the fake pics currently in iPhoto and import the good ones over. When I try to do that, it says the photos are unreadable or corrupt, but they work fine in Preview! (which they did not last night before I reinstalled post-crash).
Please help me save my 4000 photos!

It may not be a 'glitch' in the actual update so much as it could be that the update did not go through correctly.
Restoring the device as suggested is the best way to isolate exactly where the issue lies.
You can start with a first step of attempting a Hard Reset (Home Button + Sleep/Wake Button for 5-10s), however if this does not rectify the issue the next step is to attempt a Restore or alternatively force an update again of the device.

Problems accessing photos after 4.3 upgrade

I did not have this problem before...
After I upgraded my phone to the 4.3 version software, I have problems accessing my photos. When you click on the photos icon, the Camera Roll pulls up under the gray bar that says Albums. You cannot click on Camera Roll because it is up under the Album gray bar and you are unable to drag it down to click on the Camera Roll in order to pull up your pictures. There is no way you can access your photos when this happens. I have done reboot (hold down power and menu button till apple comes on). After the reboot, when I go back into the photos icon the Camera Roll will pull up normally to where I am able to access my photos. After a while, the same thing will happen... I am not sure if it happens in time or after I take some pictures and than try to go back into my photos.
I upgraded my phone couple days ago.
Apple doesn't want to admit it is a glitch in their upgrade.
Apple tells me to restore the phone and restore it back to the last backup.
I do not want to have to restore the phone and take chance to lose information I don't have saved to do a restore and haave the same issue happen.
Does anyone else have this issue or know what could be the problem?
Thanks so much in advance.

Please help: fail to recover after system crash

Hi all,
I tried to start our directory server after system crash due to hardware failure. Error log shows:
[17/Apr/2010:01:35:15 +0800] - WARNING<20488> - Backend Database - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - Detected Disorderly Shutdown last time Directory Server was running, recovering database.
However, the recover process seems never ends (I waited overnight...). While CPU usage of ns-slapd grows continuously, the server has no response (e.g. ldapsearch waits forever). I make copies of db before starting ns-slapd and thus I tried several attempts:
1. start as it is.
2. remove db/log* and start
3. remove db/log* and db/__db* and start
4. remove db/* except db/NetscapeRoot and start
All attempts have the same result - recovery goes on continuously.
Then I tried to remove db/* and run restoreconfig with an old configuration backup. Then ns-slapd can be started. However, when I do ldapsearch testing:
ldapsearch -h localhost -v -D"cn=directory manager" -b "" -s base objectclass= namingContexts
ldap_init( localhost, 389 )
Bind Password:
ldap_simple_bind_s: Invalid credentials
I'm sure the password is correct, and also tried modifying nsslapd-rootpw in config/dse.ldif and corresponding userPassword in configuration file created by saveconfig before restoreconfig.
Again, all attempts have the same result - invalid credentials. I can see BIND cn=directory manager attempts in logs/access, but also see following line in logs/errors:
[17/Apr/2010:21:59:08 +0800] - INFORMATION - conn=-1 op=-1 msgId=-1 - get_entry: entry cn=directory manager not found (error 32)
I'd like to know:
* if there any other method to make recovery process complete successfully?
* if there is anything missed/wrong in the restoreconfig process?
I tried several days but can't make it. Would anyone please help?
Sorry that we're still using old versions 5.2 patch 5 on Solaris 5.9 on v440 machines...
Thank you very much.
/ST Wong ([email protected])

I hope you have a export of LDAP data backup in LDIF format, if so, please stop the instance and remove all the files from your db directory which includes .db3 and log.* and __db* and then do a ldif2db.
Once import is complete, start the slapd process.

Dear Workflow expert,
I have customized the standard leave request workflow to a 2 level approval workflow. However, sometimes the workflow will suddenly stop without any error and I need to go to tcode SWPC (execute workflow after system crash) to continue the workflow.
Anyone can tell me in what circumstances that the workflow will fall into this category, because it like happens quite frequently.

Satellite M40: Win XP install after system crash- ser.number problem

Hello there,
i would like to ask you what shall i do. I bought new toshiba satellite m40 laptop about 5 years ago in London.
There was no Win XP recovery cd (no recovery partition on hdd as well), just cd with toshiba drivers in the box. Now my system crashed.
Took me long time to figure out what it was. (BSOD - "not ACPI compliant") I tried almost everything even HDD format.
Later on i completely dismanteled laptop, cleaned the dust inside and it works again - no BSOD.
Now i need to install my WinXP back. So i downloaded WinXP service pack 3 cd-rom and tried to install it.
It wont take my serial number which i have on a sticker on my toshiba.
Please help me, what shall i do?
I paid for WinXP (system was included in price) and now i cannot use it.

Well, i was in London just few months when i bought that laptop. The guy in the store told me the box include everything - it was the way they got it. I didn't know how it works in London (well except the robb of in an exchange office on victoria train station first day and another one paying for a laptop in Computer store which had branches all around London and the company crashed and did not pay me back) and it was my first (delivered) laptop as well. Of course i asked why there is no Win XP cd (or recovery). I used to have many destops before starting with old good 386@20MHz. I was very well aware that i really need installation cd of windows, do remember loads of system crashes of Win95 and Win98. Maybe somebody took it out of the box, who knows. I am just 100% sure it was not there. So i reconciled myself with it, was a newbee there, didn't want to make problems. My fault. Another one was not buying recovery program (or use of that toshiba recovery creator) to make image of hdd. Those days imaging system was quite a new thing as well-at least for me. Few days ago I tried toshiba support web to find recovery cd, even e-bay, etc. to find and buy it. No chance. I can try to call Toshiba UK support centre, but i guess it will be the same answer.
You wrote your friend has got one as well, is it the type -225 ? Full name of it is: Toshiba satellite m40 -225. Different number means different hardware, but recovery cd of your friend might be compatible. Would it be possible to ask him to give/sale me an image of that disk? Toshiba support in my country cannot provide help or further info, is not comparable with the UK or US one. But thank you guys for answering me anyway! :-) Any idea welcomed.
EDIT: BSOD (not ACPI compliant) is unfortunatelly back, laptop works just in really cold (-10 C) environment. Restoration CD would be logical step to go.

? How to recover APPS from iTunes after system crash

I think we need a sticky for this.
Is there a tutorial or instructions to recover ALL your iPhone/iPod Touch apps from your PC or iTunes after a system crash and iTunes is no longer accessible even after uninstall and reinstallation? I heard one can call Apple Support and have them do a one time reset but for people like me who have more than one iTunes account that may be a problem since it would require several accounts.

Ok....i have some good news, I believe. Using King_Penguin's link and Apple's KB seems to have worked. I tried this under another windows profile on the same machine. The TRICK is to hold down CTRL W when opening up iTunes. This will prompt you to tell iTunes where the library is. The key is to copy everything from your My MUSIC\ITUNES folder. More info here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1751
What is throwing me off is there is another option to, "Create LIBRARY". Not sure how that works. But the instructions are here: When you need to restore your backed up iTunes Library from your external hard drive to your computer, follow these steps:
1.Quit iTunes.
2.Locate your external hard drive.
Mac: On the Desktop or Finder sidebar.
Windows: In My Computer
3.Drag the iTunes folder (backed up earlier) from your external hard drive to whatever location you desire on your internal hard drive. It is recommended that you choose the default location for the iTunes folder, which is:
Mac OS X: /Users/username/Music
Windows XP: \Documents and Settings\username\My Documents\My Music\
Windows Vista or Windows 7: \Users\username\My Music\

Problem with Java after System Upgrade to 10.5.7

Hi,
I am facing problem with Java after having run Software upgrades.
Here is the whole story. I recently moved to iMac 10.5.6 from PowerPc 10.4. On this new machine I was having problem running a 3rd party application, which requires JVM. As this application worked well on Tiger, I decided to upgrade JVM on my iMAC using Software Upgrade(was I insane!!). As I like my systems to be updated (as with linux on my personal machine) I clicked "install all". As a result I have the following upgrades run on my machine:
2009-05-20 13:12:01 +0200: Installed "Mac OS X Update Combined" (10.5.7)
2009-05-20 13:12:10 +0200: Installed "Remote Desktop Client Update" (3.2.2)
2009-05-20 13:12:26 +0200: Installed "Java For Mac OS X 10.5 Update 2" (1.0)
2009-05-20 13:58:36 +0200: Installed "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 3" (1.0)
2009-05-20 13:58:44 +0200: Installed "AirPort Utility Software Update 2009-001" (5.4.1)
2009-05-20 13:59:07 +0200: Installed "QuickTime" (7.6)
2009-05-20 13:59:22 +0200: Installed "iPhoto Update" (7.1.5)
2009-05-20 13:59:28 +0200: Installed "iLife Support" (9.0.2)
2009-05-20 13:59:38 +0200: Installed "iDVD Update" (7.0.3)
2009-05-20 13:59:58 +0200: Installed "iTunes" (8.1.1)
But now, simply running $ java on the prompt hangs, i.e. it takes no action.
$ which java
/usr/bin/java
$ ls -ltr /usr/bin/java
May 20 15:09 /usr/bin/java -> /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current/Commands/java
$java (no response)
Here is the output of $ top

Any clues?

Hi man,
In the wake of this java problem I resorted to keep working on my old machine, and today in my spare time I tried to fix this new machine.
So I execute $java on prompt, and then try to check the files it has opened, using lsof -p pid
I see it referring to
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
isn't this usually the JAVA_HOME
However, executing $/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.5.0/Home/bin/java
hangs!!
but
$/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6.0/Home/bin/java
works!!
$ pwd
/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/1.6/Home/bin
$ ./java -version
java version "1.6.0_07"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0_07-b06-153)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 1.6.0_07-b06-57, mixed mode)
So, I changed the links as follows
borgraf:Versions raveesh$ l
total 72
drwxr-xr-x 3 root wheel 102 Mar 6 2008 1.3.1
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 May 21 19:42 1.4.1 -> 1.4

lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Jun 4 17:14 CurrentJDK -> 1.6
lrwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 3 Jun 4 17:21 Current -> 1.6
Linking my Current and CurrentJDK to 1.6 and it works!
However, shall that be the reason!
what is in your /Versions/Current/
I got the following
$ ls /System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/Current
CodeResources Frameworks JavaVM
Commands Headers Resources
There is no /Home in here, which is usually the case for /1.5 or /1.6
Anyways, things seems to work for the moment. Lets see if I get problem with using Java.
thanks

How to Recover a running composites after system crash?

The Weblogic server has unexpected restart while some long-time composites were running.
After Weblogic started again, those composites had state "Running". But nothing changes. They never neither finish neither fault.
Is there a something necessary to configure in weblogic, or composites to successfully continue all running composites after system start-up after a crash?

Hi there,
please have a look at http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15586_01/integration.1111/e10226/bp_mang.htm#BABCEIBC.
In section "13.4 Performing BPEL Process Service Engine Message Recovery" you can read how a manual recovery of undelivered invoke or callback messages due to a transaction rollback in the process instance can be performed. Please have a look an let me know if it helpful for you.
Best regards,

User password problem in RFC after system copy

HEllo,
we have a problem in ECC6.0 after system copy (refresh QUAL system by PRD data).
BEfore doing this copy, we export RFC data (SM59 tables) of our QUAL system and after the refresh we reimport these RFC in our QUAL system. We don't want RFC comming from productive system.
After this reimport, RFC configuration is ok but we have a problem with RFCuser password. In the password box we have "inconsistent"...
Have you an idea to reimport succesfully these informations ?
Thanks
lionel

Hello,
We performed another refresh yesterday. But unfortunatly it was not working. Password are still inconsistent.
This are exactly way we perform it:
Before restoring DB :
export table via R3trans for tables:
RFCDES, RFCDOC, RFCATTRIB, RFCCHECK, RFCDESSECU, RFCSYSACL, RFCTRUST, RFCCMC, RFCGO, SXRFC, IBSSI_RFCDEST, PARAMVALUE, RSECACTB where ident LIKE '___/RFC%'
export users via scc8
Restore DB, truncate upper rfc tables, import rfc Tables
Check SM59 => inconsistent
Migrate Secstore => still inconsistent
Import Users via transport generated by scc8
run scc7 as post actions
Tuncatate/re-import rfc tables
Check SM59 => inconsistent
Migrate Secstore => still inconsistent
What else could be done ?
We have a lot of RFC. so re-enter all password is really a hudge task ..
Thanks a lot for help

Problem with extractors after system copy

Hi Gurus!
After system copy I have problem with export data source from infocubes. Logical system name was converted with BDLS. When I check any export datasource (8*) with transaction RSA3 system tell me that no data records was found though data in fact table every infocube exist (in SE11). What can I do to solve this problem?
Thanx.

Hi,
Of course I tried reactivate myself source system but problem is still here. When I check extractor (with RSA3) of any data source of any infoobject (master data) - everything is OK. When I check extractor for export data sorce - I have problem.
to Mickael: In modeling every thing is OK.
Thank you for all answers.....

Can't access photos after upgrade to cloud

I have an iMac 2.5 GHz with 4 GB memory, currently running OS X 10.10.3. I updated photo and went to use the new cloud storage of my photos. The system was updating fine it loaded about 5,100 of the 8,200 photos to the cloud. However now it is not updating for it has been updating the last ~3,000 images for 24hrs. Also if I try to open the application Photo, I receive a message that "Photo must quit because the photo library has become corrupt or is unavailable". I'm concerned and not sure what to do.
I have a Macbook air that is also upgraded and with that device I can access photo iCloud but only the 5.100 photos.

Hold down ⌥ and ⌘ whilst launching photos and try repairing the library.

File restore after system crash?

I recorded several videos on my iPhone yesterday. One was 28 minutes long (almost 3 GB) so I deleted them from my phone as soon as I copied it into iPhoto. I was viewing the videos in iPhoto when my system crashed. After rebooting, the movies were gone.
Is there any way these movies can be recovered? They've got to be on the hard drive somewhere.

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

IPad apps can't access photos after iOS8 upgrade

I've got a number of apps on my iPad that used to be able to access the photos in my iPad Photos app but no longer can access them. I checked under Privacy > Photos that they are enabled and I went to General > Restrictions and made sure all restrictions are off. I changed nothing after the upgrade and all the apps could access photos before the upgrade.
