Recover Citadel Database from Corrupt Hard Drvie

Hey All,
I recently suffered a hard drive failure / corrupted hard drive. However, I was able to recover several Citadel 5 database files from the corrupted drive. For example, I have 16 GB of CDPG files that I was able to recover. I might be able to recover other file types too, if I knew what I needed.
Is there anyway to recover these data and put them back in Citadel? Anway to view the data at all?
Thanks in advance for any advice / help!
Mike

Hi,
The link bellow shows the extension files used by Citadel databases. If you can perform a search by the extension of the file (*.thd) you will be able to recover your files.

Using Data Rescue II to recover lost files from corrupt hard drive!!!

OK I am terribly confused. I found out my MacBook Pro hard drive is corrupt and I can't even start up my computer. I was told to get Data Rescue II, another Mac, and an external hard drive.
I have all of the above but have no idea how to make it work!! How do I access the corrupt HD on the current iMac I am using with Data Rescue and then transfer the found files to the external HD??? Please I need help asap!!

First, if you have an external drive, then install OS X on the external drive. Boot from the external drive, install Data Rescue, then run Data Rescue and see if you are able to recover any files from the bad drive.
You boot from the external drive by restarting the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the external drive then click on the down arrow button.
If you do not have an external drive then you can try connecting the two computers with a FireWire cable and booting the computer with the bad drive into Target Disk Mode. Boot the good computer normally. Install Data Rescue and run it to see if you can recover anything from the bad drive. My guess is this method will not likely work, but one never knows without trying.
BTW, have you tried the following:
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger and Leopard.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer. Now restart normally.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger, and 4.1 for Leopard) and/or TechTool Pro (4.6.1 for Leopard) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.

Basic tips to recover MDF file from corrupted SQL server

Hi users,
share the basic tips of MDF file recovery with good example and when the tool support with all over MS windows and MS SQL server.

Basic solution to recover MDF file from corruption is to run DBCC statements. It is a set of SQL statements -
1. Dbcc checkdb ('database_name') with no_infomsgs
You do not need to repair file if the above statement is executed without any errors. Before executing the repair operation, you need to set the database in single user mode by executing:
2. Alter database 'database_name' set SINGLE_USER
You can now start repairing process by using Repair_Rebuild model by executing:
3. Dbcc checkdb('database_name', REPAIR_REBUILD)
If this statement executes successfully, then execute 5.5 else execute:
4. Dbcc checkdb('database_name', REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS)
This statement may lead to data loss. If it is executed properly then execute 5.5 else execute:
5. 5.1 Alter database 'database_name' set EMERGENCY
5.2 Alter database 'database_name' set SINGLE_USER
5.3 Dbcc checkdb ('database_name', REPAIR_ALLOW_DATA_LOSS) with no_infomsgs, all_errormsgs
5.4 Alter database 'database_name' set ONLINE
5.5 Alter database 'database_name' set MULTI_USER

How to recover iphoto pictures from a hard drive

My macbook pro got water on it and it doesn't work anymore. I bought a new one, but want to recover the information from the hard drive in the old computer. I am trying to recover my iphoto pictures, but I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive. Can you help? How can I recover the pictures from my iphoto library? Thank you for your suggestions.

Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it? From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive" I'm assuming you can somehow.
Therefore copy the library to your new Mac and try to open the library from there. If you can copy the library to you new Mac but can't open it with iPhoto open it with the Finder and follow these directions:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

Is there a way to recover my info from my hard drive even if it won't power on?

Is there a way to recover my info from my hard drive even if it won't power on? When plugged in my computer does not power on and I am only seeing a dim amber light that is blinking. Is there a way I can recover my hard drive before sendin my computer in??

This is not something for the faint of heart. What Ogelthorpe is suggesting is that you open up your computer, remove the hard drive and then install it in a "shell" that allows you to use it as an external hard drive. This "shell" is called an enclosure. You can purchase cheap USB enclosures many places, such as at Best Buy, which has the advantage of speed if you have such a store near you. However, you can purchase better quality enclosures online, from such places as Other World Computing.
If that sounds like more than you feel comfortable with doing, pay someone else to do the job for you. Call your local Apple Store and see what they will do for you. I'm not actually sure how they handle such issues.

Datafile recovery from corrupted hard disk

Hi Guys,
Im using oracle 8i 8174 on windows 2000 server.
Suddenly out of four hard disks one of them corrupted. No RAID configuration.
This disk is F: drive partition only and having a datafile.
Windows 2000 server is working fine , but database is not opened due to failure of hard disk.
I have export of one day back.
I want to recover datafile file from export which is in corrupted hard disk.
Pls guide me.
Arvind
Edited by: Arvindcbg on Mar 4, 2011 6:10 AM

no redundancy, no physical backup and you have lost complete drive/partition.
But better having something than nothing, you got export dump created from last night.
You need to create a new database and just do the import using last night export dump file.
Also, ZIP all the existing database files, and keep them safe, if you are manage to repair the disk, could be useful to get the data for a day..

Recovered illustrator file from a hard drive will not open

Hi,
I just recovered some illustrator CS2/CS3 files that were accidently deleted from a hard drive using Recuva version 1.39.509. The files were detected as being in excellent shape and they are recognized as illustrator files in windows. But I can not open them!
Please help! These are months of work that could be lost!
Dear Jacob - I dont know why the previous discussion disappeared. I have tried all your suggestions, including following the instructions for recovering illustrator files... None of them worked! I am at a loss! Again, every single one of the recoverd illustrator files can not be read, are supposedly 100% healthy from the softwared used to recover them, but they do not open! Other files such as word adn images were recovered successfully - I dont understand what is missing here!

TG,
As you can see on the pages mentioned in post #3, you can open the AI files as text files, and then you can see and compare the lines of code building each file.
The first part of each file is the wrapping defining the structure, folllowed by the part defining the artwork. Some of the artwork part may be corrupted, but more likely the structure part at the beginning is (it may be as little part snipped off at the very start).
So you can copy (at least some of) the part of code defining the artwork from the corrupted file and insert into the sound file after the initial part.
You may compare the two files and try to work out which part to move and where, using the file parts shown on those Adobe pages as guides.
I hope this was not too woolly.

Write to Citadel database from LabVIEW?

Hi. I'm a newbie when it comes to Lookout and the Citadel database... so here's my question for you all:
We have various labview applications that log data from instruments. We would like to be able to take this data and store it as "tags" in a Citadel database.
What do you think is the best way to do this?
There are ODBC drivers for the Citadel database, but they appear to only allow you to query the database to retrieve values... you can't write data to the database (so its read-only).
Are they any "Lookout VIs" or Citadel VIs that can write to the Citadel DB from LabVIEW? Or a DLL or something?
Any ideas?
regards,
John Paul

Very nice question John Paul. I take it you already have Lookout and LabVIEW. In this case, with the latest versions of either, simply use the LabVIEW datasocket to publish the items on your front panel. Lookout then can subscribe to these once you register the LabVIEW computer. Once you have subscribed to them in Lookout, you are then able to set up logging. You may need to create an expression object to route the data to citadel.
If you just want to use LabVIEW and the Citadel database, you might try VI Logger. This works in our configuration utility - MAX, and also comes with a set of VIs for LabVIEW. One caveot, the Citadel database in VI logger is newer (and faster) than the Citadel database in Lookout. I believe NI is working to synchronize
the version in the future, and its hard to say when. So till then, you would not be able to merge data in the dislike citadel databases. However, you can always use and ODBC call set to extract from both and store in a more permanent SQL database such as access, oracle, ms back office, etc.

Recover iPhoto pictures from a hard drive?

Hello,
My hard drive of my Macbook Pro crashed, and a day before it happened I moved ALL the pictures from my phone to iPhoto.
All the pics I ever had with and of my dog who died are there.
I wanted to ask if there's a way to recover them from the hard drive?
I don't know what is wrong with the hard drive so I just wanted to ask if there's even a chance to recover them?
They gave me back my Mac all fixed but with a new hard drive because the last one kept crashing.
Please please answer

Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it? From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive" I'm assuming you can somehow.

Recovering aperture files from crashed hard drive?

Hi,
I'm trying to recover Aperture photos which weren't backed up externally (I know) from the hard drive of my MBP in an external mount, I can navigate to the library but cannot find files to backup the master images. Do I need to just copy the library or do I need to look somewhere else. I cannot search using aperture as that isn't installed on the computer I'm using. Would be grateful for any thoughts!
Cheers

Hello,
if you want to recover data from a drive after it crashed, don't do anything to that drive that writes data to it. You might try recovery software like Disk Drill to access files, see e.g. this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16641843#16641843
But I do not understand from you post, how your Aperture library is organized, please explain a little bit more:
Do you have a managed or a referenced library?
Did the system drive of your MBP crash or an external drive, and which parts of your Aperture Library and master files were on the drive that crashed?
If you library is managed, then all your master image files should be contained inside the Aperture library package. This package can be copied using the Finder by dragging it to a new location. If you want to reassure yourself, that it contains all your master image files, ctrl-click the package and select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu. You should see a folder "Masters" inside, and their you should find all the master image files, grouped by year and month.

Recover Primary Database from Standby Database

Hi all,
I'm trying to understand how to use physical standby database in order to have a backup from a primary database.
The first part is very clear. I supose I have a physical standby database ready and archiving from a primary database but the second part is the problem.
1. Now I supose that my primary database is gone... not just a logical corruption but a physical disaster such a fire o something worst.
How to recover the primary site from the physical standby database??????????
2. Just a logical corruption in primary database. How to syncronize with the standby database that it's the one who has the right data???
Thanks in advance.

How to recover the primary site from the physical standby database?1. Ensure that you DO have a Primary Site up and running. It might be the same building. It might be another building. Management might decide to switch to another city. (BTW, all of this should be defined in the D.R. / B.C.P. documentation).
The (possibly new) Primary Site has to have the required hardware , O.S etc.
2. Take a backup of the Standby and restore it to the (possibly new) Primary.
Actually, the Standby becomes the new Primary and the new site that is setup becomes the Standby. This continues until management decides to switch over.
Just a logical corruption in primary database.Take a backup of the Standby and restore it to the Primary. You have to suffer an outage. Note : If only one or few files on the Primary are physically corrupt (and offline), you could backup the selected files from the Standby and RESTORE and RECOVER on the Primary !

How to fix corrupted backup then proceed with restore? Or extract app databases from corrupted backup?

Deeply let down by Backup restore :-(
iPhone 3GS with iOS5.1 (the latest) started to behave abnormally. Made a full restore of iOS then tried to restore from backup only to discover message that my backup is corrupt or not compatible. Contacts were restored more or less OK but all applications data including personal financials (PocketMoney records) were lost.
Tried 2 times to run restore from backup but without success :-( Is there any chance to fix so-called corrupted backup file or at least to retrieve my app databases out of there?
Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Not that I've heard of. You can extract some of your data from a backup using iPhone Backup Extractor, but I'm not sure that includes app data (you could try contacting them to find out). And even if you could, I don't know how you would sync it back to your phone.

How to recover deleted songs from iTunes hard drive (not iPod)

I have a Western Digital hard drive that I use to play all of my mp3 files. Tonight I was creating a playlist by dragging and dropping songs. Although I thought I was editing the playlist, it turns out that I accidently deleted a song from my library ("MUSIC").
Now anytime that I delete something from the external hard drive, it ends up in the recycling bin on my desktop. But that does not seem to be the case with songs that I delete from the "MUSIC" library on my hard drive.
I'm confused. When I accidently deleted this song, where did it go? The folder containing the mp3 file is gone, it is no longer in iTunes and it never appeared in the Recycling Bin. In the past whenever I've accidently deleted a song, I simply went to the Recycling Bin and clicked on "Restore File".
Does anyone know where to find the missing file(s) and how to restore them to my 'MUSIC' folder in iTunes?
Note that this has nothing to do with my iPod, but rather the external hard drive associated with my PC.
Thanking everyone in advance who can help!
Chad

How I wish it were that simple.
My Recycling Bin is empty, which is what is perplexing. Just to see if this function was working properly I deleted a song from the LIBRARY and guess what? It appeared in the Recycling Bin.
Its a mystery what has happened to these songs.
This has happened on several occassions. I waited years for a few rare songs to come out in digital because only vinyl copies existed. When Apple finally reached a licensing agreement to sell these songs, I downloaded them and created a playlist. Somehow the playlist disappeared including all of the songs from the library. I didn't think anything of it because I thought that I could simply go to iTunes, select PURCHASED songs and add them. To my suprise iTunes does not have a history of my purchase.
Finally, after much trouble back and forth with Apple customer support they sent me a link for two of the most recent songs that I downloaded, but the ones that I downloaded a year or more in the past.
The whole entire scenario has left me scratching my head.
