Reading backed up files
I am trying to read the files that I backed up to my computer but my computer will not read them. What is a safe download that will help?
thx
I installed Elcomsoft Blackberry Backup Explorer on my PC today. The free version allows you to read your Blackberry Backup files but you can't export them to your Blackberry using this utility.

and under path i need to take back up of values in some text file and then put some value in the registry after back is taken in text file.
Also how to read the text file values so that we can again write to registry hive back from the back up text file.
Your help is much appreciated.

I purchased a IMac in Feb later I added a Seagate ext. hard drive. On April 29 I received an errors that the ext. Drive may be a read only and not backing up files. I'm unable to check disk permission or correct errors. Help would be appreciated.
Click on the hard drive on the desktop, then File > Get Info. What does it say about permissions? If this is just a data drive you may want to consider "ignore ownership on this volume".
Otherwise I can only say I have not been reading good things about Seagate drives recently. I have some of their rock-solid ones from about 10 years ago (still running well), but now...? -
hi all
I have a problem reading back an xml file.
What I want to do is to store sensors and some vi parmaters.
To do it, I put the parmaters in a cluster, flaten it to xml and then write the xml file.

When I want to read back the xml file, it doesn't work with the way I do (I use unflaten and read xml file)
The datas i read back are not those I want to take back from my xml file.
Can somebody help me with this point?

Reading back file for analysis purposes controlling X-axis
Alright, I lose using labview. I use it for a ton of different projects at work. I have been fooling around with this for a while and maybe I am just missing it.
Here goes, in one of my applications I record 4 AI channels at various rates (6, 600, 6000) Hz, I write the data to three different files depending on the record speed. I create a .txt file using the "write to file" wizard. I check the option to use one time column. In the end I get a nice file with 5 columns the first being my time, and the other four being the data on the 4 AI channels.
Now I am trying to read this file back to graph and perform some analysis on it. I have tried this a few different ways, with using charts and graphs. My question is is there anyway to grab that first column and set it as my x-axis. Right now the x-axis really dosn't make much sense. Even if it graphed it as a sample number would be good. Any help would be greatly appreated.
Thanks
ChrisHi Chris,
attached vi will read your data...
When you rename your txt to .lvm you may also use the "Read from measurement file" function. As I'm not using the dynamic datatype (DDT) (so far) I don't know how to separate the single signal from the output - but it is shown in the properties dialog...
"Spreadsheet string to array" is located on the string palette - like any other string function too

I can't read back what I wrote (to a file)
I wrote a very large file (over several hundred hours) in textual form; each line is a long, output using toHexString() like this:
2092cc0ca723ec80
2092cc0ce463ec80
2092cc0d14a3ec80
2092cc0d14e3ec00
2092cc0d1523ec80
2092cc0d1563ec80
2092cc0d15a3ec80
2092cc0d15a3ed00
2092cc0d16e3ec80
... etc ...
I then tried to read the numbers back into another Java program using Long.parseLong(str, 16), but I get a NumberFormatException when I get about 1million lines in. This is where the lines begin with an _8_ (in hex):
8219250d16e3ec80
8219250d16e3ed00
8219250d56a3ec80
8219250d56e3ec80
8219250d56e3ed00
...etc...
Is there another way for me to use Java to read back in what I wrote using Java?ozweepay wrote:

Did you actually just claim that Java's popularity implies that it cannot contain design flaws?Sure, why not. I mean we all know that Java is perfect. God forbid, I've never seen anything wrong with Java in the past 10 years.
Wow indeed! Why didn't they put it to the standard API. Businesses all around the world are parsing 64-bit hex values from files!!!
Did you actually just insinuate that Java's principle purpose is to support business applications? I guess that's why the standard library doesn't support things like graphics, sound, networking, etc.And yet you're only reading hex Strings from a file. All those sweet graphics and sound classes for nothing...
Do you spend a lot of your time insulting people who complain that the lack of unsigned longs makes it hard to parse network addresses? It's not like anyone ever does that on a computer, right?Do you spend a lot of your time rewriting things in C when a programming language fails you in the parsing department? -

Error when reading back a binary file
Hello,
I am writing out a binary file consisting of U32 arrays, packed strings, and clusters. I get error 116 when reading back. As long as I am synchronized on the correct data position why should LV care what I write to the file? In the example I write a simple 16 element array and a time stamp cluster. When reading back the array I get the error. What is the correct way to do mixed structures? Thanks.

file write.PNG 44 KBDavid,
You can solve the problem in various ways. The easiest might be to modify the writer VI by wiring a True constant into the "header (F)" input of your first Write File node. That forces LabVIEW to include a four-byte header that specifies the length of the array you are writing.
When you wire up the reader code the way you did, the length of the array you wire to the "byte stream type " input is irrelevant; by wiring nothing into the "count" input, you are implicitly telling LabVIEW to look for a header to determine the length of the array you are asking it to read. Because you didn't write any header, LabVIEW is interpreting the first four bytes of the array itself as a length. That length doesn't match the actual amount of data present in the datafile, so LabVIEW generates your error.
An alternative solution would be to leave the writer unchanged and modify the reader VI: wire an I32 constant into "byte stream type" and wire a 16 into "count". The choice depends on what you prefer and whether or not these binary files need to be compatible with some other program or not.
Another aside: you can dispense with your case that checks whether the datafile already exists. Just change the function input of the Open/Create/Replace to "create or replace" and wire a False constant into its "advisory dialog" input.
Hope that's clear,
John -
I have a friend who I was helping out with his iPhone. He has since lost it. I believe I backed it up to my machine but have no idea where to find it. Is it possible to find it and read the back-up file without the original device being connected?
If he gets another device - you should be able to restore it from your computer to the point where you backed it up
Otherwise that file cannot be read -

Disk Utility says "drive can't be repaired, disk and restore your backed up files."
My Mac Book Pro froze yesterday and I had to force restart it. It had been showing me messages that my hard drive disk was full for a while and I was in the middle of transferring files to my external hard drive and I accidentally put a huge large file from my external hard drive into the trash on my laptop which makes me wonder if that means I added more GB to a computer that was already very full. Anyway, after freezing I restarted it and the desktop wouldn't load properly. The desktop picture was there, but folders on desktop did not appear, finder bar was missing and the dock was acting super slow and nothing worked when clicked on. Then the next few attempts were around the same result and eventually became stuck on the apple logo, spinning gear and a progress bar that was not loading at all.
Here's what I've tried so far:
Safe mode- nothing happens
Command + R - I am unsure how to work this since I can't seem to find an internet connection when it prompts for one. None of the internet connections have much signal and my own information doesn't seem to load since the gear spins to find the internet connection name and password I typed to load it but can't seem to find it. Perhaps I have the wrong internet information, but I don't think so.
I tried Command + S to use in single user mode and type in a command to help fix the drive, BUT, even though the black screen and white lettering mode did show up, it remained in a place where I was not allowed to type anything and the last thing written at the bottom of the screen was something about set up for bluetooth, I think. I tried this twice and both times it stopped in the same place and I could not type a command.
Disk Utility using installation dvd to verify and repair disk. Verify says disk needs repair and then repair has some red colored phrases: Invalid volume file count. (It should be 786374 instead of 786274) Incorrect number of thread records. And there was another problem listed but I do not remember it. Then, near the end of repairing it says: "Disk Utility stopped repairing Macintosh HD." It tells me it couldn't repair the disk and that I should back up as many of my files as possible, reformat the disk and restore backed up files.
That would be fine and dandy, but I have no idea how to back up my files and do all this. I have no idea how to exactly get the data off my hard drive. If someone does, please list a step by step guide for me on how to do so.
I have an external hard drive and I tried plugging in and selecting the hard drive and making a "New Image" to copy to the external hard drive destination, but it just stops a few seconds into it and tells me there is an input/output error. I tried read only, read/write only, compressed options for making a copy and all yield the same result.
In Disk Utility, I believe I have a partition -the Macintosh HD. I have listed on the left hand side: 320.07 GB Hitachi HTSS45.....etc. and below it in non-bolded, grey lettering it says "Macintosh HD."
The Hitachi, when clicked upon, shows the S.M.A.R.T. status as Verified and the Macintosh HD doesn't show much in details except for "Not mounted."
At one point, the Macintosh HD was in bold lettering and seemed to be mounted for a few minutes. When that happened, I was able to see the details reading: Mount Point: /Volumes/Macintosh HD, Capacity: 319.73 GB, Available: 11.92 GB, Used: 307.81 GB, etc.
I'm getting nervous to keep turning on and off the computer on force start and shut downs, especially since I have been reading up that the longer the computer is on, the more the hard drive is in use and the more chance for it to start deleting or overwriting my files. Is this true?
It's not mounted anymore since it was momentarily mounted. I just want to get my files off the disk and save them to my external hard drive. That is my main goal right now. What can I do?
Thank you in advance for your help!If you want to preserve the data on the boot drive, you must try to back up now, before you do anything else. It may or may not be possible. If you don't care about the data, you can skip this step.
There are several ways to back up a Mac that is unable to fully boot. You need an external hard drive to hold the backup data.
1. Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup) or from a local Time Machine backup volume (option key at startup.) Launch Disk Utility and follow the instructions in the support article linked below, under “Instructions for backing up to an external hard disk via Disk Utility.”
How to back up and restore your files
2. If you have access to a working Mac, and both it and the non-working Mac have FireWire or Thunderbolt ports, boot the non-working Mac in target disk mode by holding down the key combination command-T at the startup chime. Connect the two Macs with a FireWire or Thunderbolt cable. The internal drive of the machine running in target mode will mount as an external drive on the other machine. Copy the data to another drive. This technique won't work with USB, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth.
How to use and troubleshoot FireWire target disk mode
3. If the internal drive of the non-working Mac is user-replaceable, remove it and mount it in an external enclosure or drive dock. Use another Mac to copy the data. -
I am trying to get space on an external hard drive which has some old time machine back up files that I do not need but can not eliminate, even by going into the time machine, clicking on the backup file to be eliminated and using the drop down menu with the gear box symbol to eliminate
I cannot find this 300GB "Backup" in the Finder, only in the Storage info when I check "About This Mac".
You are probably using Time Machine to backup your MacBook Pro, right? Then the additional 300 GB could be local Time Machine snapshots. Time Machine will write the hourly backups to the free space on your hard disk, if the backup drive is temporarily not connected. You do not see these local backups in the Finder, and MacOS will delete them, when you make a regular backup to Time Machine, or when you need the space for other data.
See Pondini's page for more explanation: What are Local Snapshots? http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
I have restarted my computer, but the information remains the same. How do I reclaim the use of the 300GB? Why is it showing up as "Backups" when it used to indicate "Photos"? Are my photos safe on the external drive?
You have tested the library on the external drive, and so your photos are save there.
The local TimeMachine snapshot probably now contains a backup of the moved library. Try, if connecting your Time Machine drive will reduce the size of your local Time Machine snapshots. -
UPDATE : Toshiba Recovery Wizard 'cannot read from source file or disk' error (satellite L500)
UPDATE 2: Phoned Toshiba tech support again, guided by techie to begin the recovery again. Just before phoning I was able to go into recovery options and view the drive setup and all the files that couldn't be read are on the CD so I've no idea why the error kept occuring, and neither did the techie. Fingers crossed it works this time but I'm not overly hopefully given that we've just done exactly the same as I did before. UPDATE 1: I got into the BIOS and reset everything back to defaults and yay, my toshiba recovery wizard now starts! :-D On the down side, when trying to do a factory default software / out of the box recovery I continually get error messages with regards to copying the files, for example
cannot read from source file or disk
7z.dll
Type application extension
size 585kb
date modified 7/14/2009 10.26pm
other read / copy errors include PREINST6.SWM, BOOT_32, BOOTPRIORITY, CHECKMAXPTSIZE, CHGBOOT, CPU, CPUCHECK, CREATEPARTITION, CTRLDRVINFO, DISKWIPE, DMI, DPINST32, EBLIB.DLL, ERRORDIALOG, EW3BOOTSEQ, FWLINK, FWLINK.SYS, GETHDDINFO, GETKEYSTATE, IMAGEX, INFILED, INITRECAREA, KRAIADAPI.DLL ..... at which point I decided to 'skip all' :-/
Any explanations as to what's going on and how I might be able to fix it would be very much appreciated! :-) Thank you!
I have a two and half year old satellite L500 with an Intel i-3 and 4 gigs of RAM, on which I was running Windows 7.
Admittedly it’s had rather a hard life (I ran some very demanding CAD / graphics software on it) but it had always performed well until just recently, when after suffering several BSOD (which had never happened before), the hard drive failed.
I partitioned and formatted a brand new hard drive (which is perfectly fine and functions normally when hooked up to another laptop with a SATA to USB cable) and obtained system recovery discs from Toshiba. Unfortunately, when I try and run the first disc, windows starts to load files but then generates an error screen with the message Error F3-F100-0003 and a request to turn the computer off.
When I use the windows Memory Diagnostic to get into the Windows Boot Manager Screen I get the following;
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware / software change might be the case.
To fix the problem
Insert your windows installation disc and restart your computer
Choose your language settings and click ‘next’
Click ‘repair your computer’
File: \boot\memtest.exe
Status: 0xc000000f
Info: the selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.
I can also use F8 on startup to get into the advanced boot options but selecting any of them simply results in the F3-F100-0003 error message. I’ve run a memory test using the UBCD, which tells me the memory is fine, and tried another hard drive (which also works perfectly well in another laptop) but no joy. On phoning Toshiba support the techie said my hard drive had failed, but as I say, both hard drives are perfectly fine / usable when hooked up to another laptop. I’m now completely stuck as to what the problem is and how I might resolve it – any advice / suggestions would be most gratefully received! Thank you in advance :-)Satellite L655-S5096
Downloads here.
the second disc gives me the the "cannot read from source file or disk PREINST8.SWM"
My best guess is that the disc is not readable. Try copying it to another. Sometimes that works.
Otherwise, order new discs from Toshiba.
