Recover files from .Inprogress file

I ran a back up with time machine before sending my macbook for repair. After recieving my newly installed mac software on my macbook, I tried to recover my previous backup files and install it on my macbook. However, I could not recover the file and I can see a folder which was .inprogress. I then clicked 'show package contents' and went through each of the files to look for my aperture library. When I managed to find it, the file size of the library was 42.31 GB and I proceeded to copy the library to my desktop. After copying, the library file size shrinked to just 1.02 GB. when I opened the library in aperture, the pictures were all blank. Is there a proper way to recover the aperture library as I have alot of photos stored in there and I hope not to lose it all.
Thanks.

would be incredibly grateful for an answer to this...
i did a back up in november before i went away for two months. along the way my internal HD started failing, and in the melee of trying to grab files before it went down, i plugged in the ext HD with time machine on it. the backup failed doing this, and now the entire backup is a .inprogress file, and i can't seem to transfer the files in any way. i also don't want to delete the .inprogress file because i assume it will delete the entirety of the 500GB contents :/
to compound this, the backup is also case sensitive whereas my new internal one isn't... what to do what to do??!

As to your first problem, I am not so familiar. But, as to the second problem, I think I can help.
In fact, I have ever also accidentally deleted my hard drive files. In order to re-access them, I have also posted my question in forums, just like you. Fortunately, after browsing many related answers and threads, I just know that a third
party data recovery program can be a good chance to go on.
So, I follow some instructions in these forums and select three drive recovery freeware to go on, including Recuva, iCare Data Recovery Free and TestDisk and so on.
Finally, I have restored all my needed data back successfully with these freeware.
So, I hope it will also help you out.
PS: Never forget to back up everything important on different hard drives or places in case of any similar data recovery problems in the future.

What is happening when recovered files show up in my trash everyday. These files are recovered from my Iweb.

What is heppening when folder entitled "Recovered Files" show up in my trash daily for the last 3 days?
They are apparently recovered art thumbnails from my I web.

Annoying, but nothing to worry about.
Sometimes the OS just tries to rescue files you've trashed.
It will happen almost every time if they were built-in templates (but the Application will replace them anyway)
Just empty the trash.

HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

Hi,
I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
So basically here are my 2 questions:
How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
Any solutions are very much apreciated!
Thanks!
I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.

Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
OS X
Windows
Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine

There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.

I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine. iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so. Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost. The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there. There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch. How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore? HELP...

Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
You can restore from an existing backup

How to recover files from a deleted partition?

Unfortunately, my OSX was not booting and I deleted my partition. Through the Internet Recovery mode I reinstalled the original OSX Mountain Lion it came with. I then upgraded to Maverick. I know that deleting a partition practically means all files are lost. I heard that files can be recovered on a Windows when a partition is deleted. Is there any way I can recover files from a partition that was deleted just a day ago?

Hi,
Yes, it is possible to recover deleted partition or volume on Mac. Previously I was able to recover all my data lost due to accidental deletion of partition on my Mac PC by using recover Mac data software. This tool is really helpful, here you can download this tool.

Recovering files from your ipod

My computer got reconfigured, so is there a way ro recover files from your ipod to your computer? I have a windows XP not a mac,if that makes a difference.

Connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual and use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button: Managing content manually on iPod
Once you are safely connected there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. A paragraph on it has been added to this article: Transfer iTunes Store purchases using iPod
The transfer of content from other sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can also read reviews of some of them here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
iRepo Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
There is also a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows or a Mac. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync. I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay.

Replacing recovered files from a crashed HD

I had a HD crash but could recover the files on the disk. Any website that explainse how I can put back the recovered files like for instance my contacts from Adressbook, Software, etc.
Or can any one explain where to put what files to get the closesed to my previous configuration?
Many thanks,
Werner

I would just copy them because Migration Assistant sets up a new account, which might cause you to have to move the files around.

After refomatting HDD, reinstalling Vista plus service packs, recovering files from Microsoft backup and installing new copy of Firefox 3.6, Firefox will not run. Have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.

After computer would not boot and could not be repaired, I reformatted the HDD, reinstalled Vista plus all service packs and updates, recovered files from Microsoft backup and installed new copy of Firefox 3.6. Firefox will not run.
I have deleted all old M0zilla profile folders and reinstalled Firefox again to no avail.
After intallation was completed, the automatic startup just placed a small box on the screen "Import wiz". This just sat there with no activity. After I closed this box, none of the Firefox start buttons would open the program -- just the blue rotating icon for about 2 seconds then nothing.

Recovering files that have been emptied from the trash

Is ther any way to recover files that you have sent to the trash, which you have subsequently emptied? Third party software? I accidentally trashed my entire iphoto library.
B&W G3 Mac OS X (10.2.x)

If your photo library is on your startup volume, and if you've continued to use the startup volume since deleting the files, then your chances of recovery may be very small. Once files are deleted the operating system may use the space occupied by the deleted files when it writes new data to the drive. The more new data written to the drive the greater the probability that your old files will be overwritten. Once overwritten they cannot be recovered.
If you hope to maximize recovery then you need to immediately shut the computer off or boot from a different drive and stop using the drive on which the deleted files are located.

Recovered photos from bad driver, but files are .ithmb, & won't convert!!!

Hi, .. My hard-drive was damaged, and Time Machine backed-up everything on the external drive, except my second iPhoto Library, called iPhoto Library-2, .. and Genius Bar couldn't find the reason, nor could they fix it. For some reason Time Machine just saved thumbnails, and the dates and the locations were all intact.
However, when the technician tried to recover data from the bad drive, using Mac Drive, Media Four, via PC, all the pictures from Library-2 has .ithmb extension. Not Library one. Library one is fine just like time-machine back-up. I used File Juicer to convert .ithmb files into readable file, but it couldn't do it.
My question is, .. Has this happened to anyone? Why the rescued files are .ithmb? Did we recover the data in a wrong way? Are the picture in Library 2 corrupted, thus damaged drive, & the thumbnails? Should we use another software to recover? Is the problem using a PC to recover instead of a Mac?
Thank you in-advance for your help. Babak
P.S. Time-Machine's back-up shows Library 2 thumbnails, under 1GB, which is no way 19,000 pictures be under 1GB, but the data recovery rescue shows 14GB. .. I'm very confused what to do. Specially, that all the pictures from my iPhone was accidentally erased the next day by iTunes, even-though I stopped the sync, somehow pictures were deleted. So, my only hope is rescuing the pictures from the bad drive.

Hi, I don't know if you're still looking for an answer, but I can tell you that you can easily convert those .ithmb files to viewable .jpgs files on your working pc. It's a bit time consuming but easy. Don't waste your money on expensive software or recovery options, because they will not work. This is freeware and it's a very small command line program. You can download it for free here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/50707723/37b8a1ad/iThmbConv.html
Now follow these steps:
1. Create a new foder called Thumbs as a subdirectory of your hard drive. I assume this your C: drive. (example C:\Thumbs)
2. Copy all the .ithmb files into this folder.
3. Download the iThmbConv program file directly into this folder.
4. Now, on your pc desktop, go to Start, Run and enter cmd in the box. Hit okay.
5. When the black screen command prompt comes on, type cd.. at the end of the prompt line. Press Enter.
6. The next line should only show C:\> If not, enter cd.. again to just show C:\>
7. Now type cd Thumbs When you press enter, the next line should be C:\Thumbs>
8. Assuming one of your .ithmb picture files is named T100. (They are all T and a number, so I'm using T100 as an example) Now type iThumbConv T100.ithmb
You should now see a few copies of your original .ithmb file in the Thumbs folder in a format that is viewable on your pc such as .jpg or whatever.
Repeat step #8 for each additional .ithmb file you want to convert. Then, you can ditch the the copies you don't need.
uming, but easy.

Recovered Files from iWeb

Each time, after making minor changes to a web page and uploading it to my .mac account, there will appear in my trash, the next time I log on, a "Recovered files" folder with anywhere from five to one-hundred and fifty recovered files, each related to my web pages. One time, after revamping my photo collection, there were over 1,900 recovered files.
Why doesn't the iWeb application eliminate these files automatically?
Why must I empty the trash manually to get rid of these?
Why isn't Apple, the manufacturer of my computer and the software involved, doing a better job?
Do you find this happening to you or am I the only one?
Cheers - Fabe

Cédric,
You're right of course, emptying electronic trash is not a hard or bothersome task. However, I'm neat, not anal compulsive mind you, but neat. I put away files, I turn off the volume, and before I shut down the computer for the day, I empty the trash. In fact, I always do a secure empty trash. So when I come back to the computer I expect it to be clean and ready for my new day. The trash in the can always niggles at me, "I emptied that," I say to myself. "Am I losing my mind?"
This computer is like a borderline employee, one who isn't bad enough to dismiss, but never gets it quite right either. It always seems like there is unfinished business I must take care of because someone else didn't pull their weight. Perhaps it's gremlins or fairies living in the ether of the turned off state leaving behind their party favors. There's a party somewhere and I wasn't invited.
As Jack Kornfeld said, "After the ecstasy, the laundry." So it is. - Fabe

Can I selectively recover files from my Time Machine Back-up?

After installing the most current apps from the App Store, OS X 10.8.5, Safari and iTunes,my system became disfunctional. I did not back up my system before this happened. Before these updates, I had the spinning beach ball on opening and closing apps and applications quiting or freezing. Eventually, after trying to repair by various means, I couldn't access my desktop. I went into Recovery mode and did a backup of my corrupt system and reinstalled OS. I have a good basic system now but now I would like to know, "Can I selectively recover files from my Time Machine Back-up?"

The basic answer is Yes, but it depends on what files. Can you give an example of what type of files and where they were located.

Recovering files from trash???

PLEEEEEASE HELP! Can someone tell me if you can recover files from somewhere in the system that have been deleted from trash

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.
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 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.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

Recovering files from a external HD pre Time Machine

Please someone throw me a ladder to get me out of this ginormous hole I doug myself.
A few days ago I set up my old MBP to be a server of sorts. It is plugged into my external HDD and my Wife's external HDD. My reasoning for this is so our computers can wirelessly back them selves up with Time Machine. Setting my new MBP was not problem was doing a fresh install because I wanted to start fresh, select the location of the drive I wanted and go, cake! The wife's drive was just as easy or so I thought. She comes to me today and tells me that the only thing she has on her external HDD is the backups folder from Time Machine. She is missing 3 folders. I presume when I set up Time Machine on her compy that it did not recognize her old backups from previous and reformatted her external HDD. So my question to you is that is there a way to revert or go back and fetch the old files that were on her drive or will I be groveling and apologizing until I die.
I beg for some help.

So my question to you is that is there a way to revert or go back and fetch the old files that were on her drive or will I be groveling and apologizing until I die.
probably the latter. if the drive was reformatted to make it work with TM the only way to possibly recover anything from before that happened is by using Data recovery software like Data Rescue II or Filesalvage. you should stop using the drive and do it ASAP. But there are no guarantees here. if the data that was there before has already been overwritten by new data then Data Recovery won't work.
