Recover a file
Hi,
this morning, I have this error :
RMAN-03009: failure of backup command on Channel1 channel at 09/16/2006 05:00:04
ORA-19602: cannot backup or copy active file in NOARCHIVELOG mode
According to Note Note:373828.1
There is at least one file that is in need of recovery.
How can I find this file (file number or name) ?
Many thanks before.
ORA-19602: cannot backup or copy active file in NOARCHIVELOG mode
Cause: You tried to copy or backup a file that was not closed cleanly, and the database was in NOARCHIVELOG mode. This is not allowed because when restored, the file will require redo application before it is usable, and redo is not currently being saved beyond the contents of the online redo logs.
Action: Take the tablespace offline clean or close the database and retry the copy or backup

How to recover Deleted file from HARD DISK
By mistake my entire AVCHD file of 90 Mts duration was deleted from my Hard Disk, this I realised after a week., in the meantime I have not added or deleted any file from this hard Disk. I had given my this hard disk to my service engineer to recover the video., he has tried and recover some 40 mb file., but I cant open this recovered video file in Premiere or any other video convertor programme., also I cant get any information about Video.
Can anybody in the forum help me and suggest how to recover my deleted Video from the Hard diskHi, hard disk data loss is actually a hard task for many users 'cause most of them think this kind of problems is a complicated situation. Here are some tips you need to know after data loss happened.
1. If you meet the file loss situation, keep calm and stop using your computer to do any read or write operation until you find the way to recover the lost files because any wrong operation.
2. If you've lost a file, time is of the essence. As new files saved to Mac hard drive or storage devices, the original files gets overwritten. So do not use the drive or disk which your deleted files are stored before at all, until you have completed the scanning and recovery process.
3. The system crashed or the files loss situation happens occasionally, so remember build a backup for the files periodically is strongly needed.
4. If you meet the file loss situation again, stop using the Mac or storage device right now, use another computer to process the files recovery.
5. Remember this, no matter at the normal time or after files recovery, build a backup for the files periodically is the best method to protect your files from data loss situation.

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email (service provider is MWeb) but now cannot find it on my hard drive and it's not in the recycle bin. It does, however, appear in Firefox downloads but I'm unable to open it from there. How can I recover the file?
Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol. -
Mount time machine, how to open and recover .inprogress file
so this is how i fixed and mounted a time machine capsule ( it was extended journaled Case-sensitive) to MacBook Pro ( non-case sensitive) and recovered files from .inprogress file. for me it worked like a charm and lets see if this can help you too.
Found a way to figure it out! (mount drive). So I went to my gf's laptop and created a new backup file for her ( just the file or a new sparsebundle. the info.plist , token and info.bckup are the files that we need from here ). If no mac is available, create a new backup in pc but it has to be to the same time capsule ( the files that we need and create will point and tell the sparse bundle a new path to time capsule ) To het there you go to the sparse bundle Dmg, right click and go to "show contents". So this is how i change it, I open 2 finder windows and got each sparse bundle in it ( old one or damaged and new one), righ click on both > show contents and then replace these files from the new one to the damaged one ( info.plist , token and info.bckup ). That's it. The time machine at least mounted on my desktop and could see the files. Now for opening the .inprogress file; go to Automator >new workflow > and drag in this order; get selected finder items, get folder contents and open finder items. While the .inprogress file i selected, press "run" or play button in Automator. That's it. Now you may try to drag to desktop but it will say "the volume has the wrong case sensitive for a backup" but you should have access. Now for copying or move to somewhere; get another hard drive ( external) and format it to the same as time capsule ( extended journaled case sensitive is my case), once it's done, right click and go to info> at the bottom uncheck "ignore ownership" and close it. Now you can copy from .inprogress file to just formatted hard drive and from hard drive to laptop. Here's the annoying part; it will treat it as a special folder ( when you paste it in you desktop it's gonna ask for password, if you wanna move it somewhere else it's going to do it as well. But at least you can recover the file ) . once this process It's done just reformat your time capsule.
Cheers,well, after you transfer everything to new hard drive and to avoid the putting a password everytime you move the folders, richt click on drive > get info > check again the "ignore ownership" option and you shouldnt have any problems transfering back folders

Looking for help as to recover the files, thanks!
Hello Lawrence,
I do have AppleMobileDeviceService.exe running.
My USBs are plugging in straight into the laptop. All 4 work. Just today, I synced my iPod with multiple USB ports. It works for the iPod, but the iPhone won't pop-up. The iPhone does not appear in iTunes as a button anywhere.
I am unable to use another computer for this. I can actually go into iTunes, add file to library, and add photos that way. So, it's recognized by my computer.
This should have been seperated. Basically, I don't have another computer accessible to me to back-up sync on iTunes with.
The last part means in iTunes, I can click "File > Add file to library" and the iPhone is shown as a camera icon. I can click on it and have access to photos. I can add those photos to the iTunes library. That's about as far as the connectivity goes with the iPhone right now. -
I created and albums and I copied all the pictures and videos and I pasted it in the new album after that i deleted all the pictures and videos in the camera roll . I didnt know that it will be also deleted from the new album ! any one can help me to recover these files . but I had no itunes no back up data no icloud nothing!
thanks in advance- If you used PhotoStream then try getting the pho tosfrom your PhotoStream. See that topic of:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
The stream does not included videos -
I was trying to use my external hard drive to back up my mac computer. It had files on it from my pc computer. Time machine erased all my existing files. (I thought it was only going to erase the duplicate files and rewrite them). Is there anyway to recover these files from my external hard drive. My mac has renamed the hard drive time maching and it will no longer show up on my pc. What can I do?
Yes, the Old Master file has a folder for each year where I find all photos from that specific year. I am attaching a screen shot of the file.
In the meantime i have managed to download all photos (it did not download any video files though in mpg, avi, 3gp, m4v,mp4 and mov format) to a new iphoto library. Unfortunately the photos are quite mixed and often doubled up. I ma considering to purchase iphoto library which checks all duplicates in iphoto. this will save me a lot of time. What do you think? -
Hi all,
The person I work for has mistakenly re-formatted a collection of SD and CF cards (incl. Sony F3, AJA Ki Pro Mini). He needs to recover video files.
Is it worth it to have the cards professionally recovered at a place like Tekserve, or is there a software program anybody here has had success with? There seems to be a lot of recovery software out there and it's hard to tell what's trustworthy. I should mention that the software doesn't have to be free, it just has to be effective and cheaper than a professional recovery.
A few other stray but important questions:
-What are the risks of running a recovery program that fails? In other words is it possible for software to damage the old data so that no other program has a chance of successfully recovering it?
-Most importantly: is it possible to recover at least some data from a card that has been reformatted and then recorded over a bit, but not all the way? I have read that if the whole card has been recorded over, the old data is irretrievable. But there's only a little bit of new material on this card.
Thanks!Reformating storage devices usually involves deleting the catalog that tells the OS where files start and end. The files are still there unless you have chosen a secure erase where the systems writes zeros over the whole drive several times (sometimes known as a DoD format).
What this means is as long as you do not try to write to the media, the files are still there. Best practice would be to clone the media then work on the clone. This way you do not introduce any addiional changes.
The more important element of your question is "can I get these files that still exist off the the media?". The answer is a resounding "maybe".
I have used FileSalvage to try to recover material from a failing hard drive. It was pretty successful with small files (Word docs, Acrobat files, Adobe Illustrator images and the like) but considerably less successful with large video files. I believe it is because video is more sensitive to end of file (eof) markers and if those are not found, the whole file is useless.
If you have reused the card, the chances of getting anything go WAY down as the way files are written to storage devices is not that orderly. Bits get written all over the drive/ flash storage. When there is no catalog to tell the OS what memory locations have a purpose, new files can be written over multiple old files. Will this completely remove any chance to recover your material? Most likely, but if you are purchasing software anyway it will not cost you any additional cost to try on those cards. You might get lucky.
Also, in the locking the barn after the paddle is lost upstream, this is why I always create two copies of the contents of cards before I start editing. 1 copy goes on the on-line editing RAID and the other copy go to an archive drive. Then once a week, I'll back up the archive drives in the studio to a set off-site. This way I have 3 copies while I'm working and 2 copies once the project is closed out. Given the low price of hard drives, it's easy to create redundant backups.
Good luck,

stupidly repaired my external hard disk without backing it up via mavericks's disk utility repair option.
After the repair, all my folders disappeared but at the same time I noticed that the disk space still remained the same. Is there anyway to get these files back? My thesis is on it.General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

How do I recover lost files off my external WD Passport hard drive with Time Machine?
I have been backing up my Macbook Pro with Time Machine and my Western Digital Passport since May 2010. I accidentally deleted my music in February of 2011, but had backed it up with Time Machine. Now when I try to go back and recover the files in Time Machine, they are gone. Nothing is available past June 2011. How do I recover those files?
About TM "Backup Drive is Full"
Alert TM only deletes older files if they have been deleted from the source and when TM needs space on the backup drive for a new incremental backup. Time Machine "thins" it's backups; hourly backups over 24 hours old, except the first of the day; those "daily" backups over 30 days old, except the first of the week. The weeklies are kept as long as there's room.
So, how long a backup file remains depends on how long it was on your Mac before being deleted, assuming you do at least one backup per day. If it was there for at least 24 hours, it will be kept for at least a month. If it was there for at least a week, it will be kept as long as there's room.
Note, that on a Time Capsule the sparsebundle grows in size as needed, but doesn't shrink. Thus, from the user's view of the TC it appears that no space has been freed, although there may be space in the sparsebundle.
Once TM has found it cannot free up enough space for a new backup it reports the disk is full. You can either erase the backup drive and start your backups anew or replace the drive with a larger drive. -
My macbook pro hard drive went bad and i bought a new one and installed it. Now i have the old corrupted hard drive in my hand and i am looking to recover my files from it, any suggestions please? too bad i never backed them up.
After you have installed the OSX on the new HDD in your MBP, install the old HDD in an enclosure and connect it to your MBP via USB. Then try to drag and drop your data to the new HDD.
If this proves unsuccessful, you may look for data recovery software on the Internet. There will be free trails to see if it will work or not. If the trial suggests that it will work, then you will have to purchase the software.
The last resort is a professional data recovery service that will offer NO guarantees and charge a lot of money.
As you now can appreciate, backups eliminate such predicaments.

Is there a possibility to recover erased files from an external hard drive that was reformatted by the Time Machine?
Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.

If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.

Is it possible to recover individual files from my Macbook Pro's HD even if it won't boot?
Recently, my Macbook Pro would slow down longer than usual as I was performing menial tasks, like internet surfing, and so I tried to clear the memory by restarting it. It only went up to a white screen from there, and when I turned it off by holding the power button and turned it back on, it would only boot up to the white screen with the Apple logo and a spinning wheel and progress bar below it.
Mine is a late-2011 13-in Macbook Pro running Mountain Lion. I've tried every way that I've found to try and repair the disk, like using Disk Utility to try and repair my HD (I get the message telling me to back up as many files as possible, then reformatting my hard drive), to "fsck"-ing (I get the messages "Incorrect block count for file live.4.indexPositions" and "disk0s2: I/O error"), and even to using Sungle-User mode to try and delete that "live.4.indexPositions" file (I get told that no such file exists).
I'm pretty much resigned to the fact that my only remaining option is to reformat my HD, but I was wondering if it was possible for me to maybe cut and paste some of my documents and pictures to an external HD before I reformatted because I don't have them anywhere else. Is it possible? I know I should've made a back-up before it all happened, but alas, my lack of a big-enough external HD rendered me un-cautious.Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Your hard drive is broken and you can't erase it. The only option you have is to take it to a company that can recover your files from the hard disk, because you can't do anything with it.
If you want, you can try to take it out, put a new hard disk and install Mac OS X. Then, use a USB to SATA adapter to connect the old hard drive to your MacBook and try to recover your files, but probably you won't be able to access to the data -
How to recover word files with readable format after formatting external hard drive?
I had tried different software. All software are able to recover word files but all word files having encoded content is there any way to convert it in readable format?
please provide any solution for this problem
Thank You.Are you saying that these documents are password-protected? In that case, if you don't have the passwords, it's going to be next to impossible to open them.
