Recover .TMP files on offline folders in Windows 7 Synch

Hello.
I have a user with Windows 7 Pro and we set him up for offline folder synchronization.
Somehow several of his office docs disappeared and seem to have been replaced by several
.TMP files with similar sizes and dates.
We only keep 7 days worth of offline folder directory backups and when he told me his problem
it was too late to get them from the backup tapes.
Is there a way or a process to recover anything useful from these TMP files?
Thanks

Have you restored your mistakenly deleted files back? I hope my answer is not too late.
In fact, after deleting something off from a drive or PC, the lost files are still recoverable, as long as they are not overwritten by anything new in the same place.
Therefore, if you really have not got your data back, you can also take chances with some data recovery tool like
Recuva, 4Card Recovery, iCare Data Recovery Free and more to restore your wanted files back.
No matter which tool you choose, you’d better not save all restored data on the same PC drive in case of any data recovery failure.
Note: Never forget to back up everything important all the time.

Acrobat 8 professional causing recovered tmp files in trash

I have recently done a clean install of CS3 including Acrobat Pro. I'm getting an occasional bouncing of the Acrobat program icon in the application doc. It acts as if it wants attention, but when you click on it its just open and has no warnings. This is really annoying having to baby sit the app by clicking on the app icon.
Anyway, I'm also getting strange system performance issues. I'll restart and there will be recovered files in the trash. They are all acr1234567.tmp files. They look like Acrobat temp files.
Anyone have any ideas?

Much appreciated!

Upgrade to 8.1.1 the 8.1.2 should stop the bounce.

Offline folders exclusion list for specific folders

Hello
First at all i apologize for my english.
we are trying around with the offline folders with windows 7 enterprise (x64) and server 2008R2 standard.
The synchronisation was set by GPO and it works.
Today we got the task that the user should only be able to synchronize files and not whole folders (with subfolders and all files in it).
Is it possbile to set an option (like the exclusion list for specific file types) to exclude folders from synchronizing?
Kind Regards
Luca

> Is it possbile to set an option (like the exclusion list for specific
> file types) to exclude folders from synchronizing?
Short answer: No.
(ok, you can exclude shares from being avail offline, but that was not
your question :))

Recover & use files from crashed TM harddrive

Hi all,
Here's the case.
I switched from a 24" iMac with 10.6 to a 27" iMac with 10.6
During this switch, my only source of backup was a 500GB WD with TimeMachine.
When i plugged this drive into the new iMac, it said the disk was "unformatted", even though I used it the day before to do the final backup.
So here I stand with everything I own datawise lost. I can see the partition containing folders using AppleXsoft File Recovery.
The question: Can I somehow recover these files in their folders, and rebuild them to a hardrive so that the computer will recognise it as a TM-backup?
Any help appreciated!
Alex

V.K. ("the guru" here) is, of course, correct.
Time Machine does incremental backups of new and changed items since the previous backup, but each backup is, in effect, a full one.
This "magic" is done by linking to the backups of the items that did not change with "hard links." An item that was present on your Mac for two or more backups will have multiple hard links to it's backup copies. This structure is used not only at the file level, but also at the directory level.
Prior to Leopard, even OSX did not support doing this at the directory level; and even the Leopard Finder couldn't copy good backups properly, much less corrupted or partial ones.
A data recovery app may be able to recover some of the backup files; but not the structure of links. At best, you're going to get a whole passel of "loose" files, with no structure whatever.

How to recover hidden files and folders from memor...

When you connect your memory card to a PC or connect your phone as a mass storage device to a PC which is infected by a virus, the virus may hide all your files and folders.
The virus also changes their attributes to "hidden" and "read only" and may move all memory card content to another hidden folder, though the size of the disk looks unchanged, files are still invisible.
Steps to recover hidden files and folders:
First, change the settings in "folder options" so that we can see all hidden files and folders,
Open any folder > select organise > folder and search options, select view tab and under hidden files and folders setting, select "show hidden files, folders and drives", and uncheck the option "Hide protected operating system files" and click ok, click yes if a prompt appears for confirmation, now you should be able to see all hidden files and folders.
Second, connect your memory card to PC using a card reader or you can connect your phone as a mass storage device and note down its drive letter. (L) is the drive in my case as shown
1. If you have autorun.info file, you can manually delete it or use tools like autorun eater(or any other you like).
If all the folders are moved inside a hidden folder, select all the items inside that folder, cut them and paste them to root directory of your memory card.
If you select properties of any folder on your memory card, the hidden attribute might be locked as shown:
To solve these issues, type cmd in the start menu, right click on it and click run as administrator.
2. In the command prompt window, type the following:
L: [Press Enter]
Here, I assume L as your drive letter.
3. Type the following code to reset the attributes of all the files and folders to their default:
Attrib *.* -r -h -s /s /d [Press Enter]
After few seconds, all the files and folders will be reset to their normal attributes settings.
Hope you enjoyed reading the post and was helpful.

Check the formatting of the external hard drive. To do that, right click on the drive icon and select Get Info. (Or click once on the drive and type command +i ) The pane includes information about the drive format.
The drive should be formatted as Mac OS Extended. If it is not, run Disk Utility (App;ications / Utilities) and format the drive.

Recover offline files after offline restored

I have a user that had offline files turned on. Some time later that server crashed and was replaced with a new one.
The user still had offline files turned on and it would fail to sync with the crashed server. The user still was saving files to her offline folder. Then we turned off offline folders and pointed it to the correct server. Now all the files
that were being saved during the time the server was gone are also gone. So my question is. Are those files lost or are they on the local computer hard drive and can they be recovered with a utility like csccmd?
thanks

Michael,
Select a clip in the Browser that is Offline.
Right click and choose the Reconnect to Media.
Navigate to to the real clip on your Scratch Disc.
The real clip is on the Scratch Disc.
FCE is non-destructive which means that everything in the Browser and Timeline are links to the Real clips stored on the Scratch Disc.
That's why when something like a clip name is changed outside of FCE the LINK is broken. FCE does not know the identity of the changed clip and where to find it. Reconnecting creates a new link (file path).

How can I get my files back in their proper folders in Windows Explorer?

For over 10 years I have meticulously put my photos in folders according to month, event. So a folder is in directory labeled 2013, with
I've successfully used Adobe Bridge to browse, edit, final edit in Photoshop.
Now I use Lightroom and everything is put into a Lightroom Catalog with weird numbers on the folders and all my pictures have vanished from my carefully created folders on Windows Explorer?
How do I put the pictures back to where they were - short of going to my backup files.
Also since using Lightroom, Photoshop is hanging saying it is waiting for Network I/O threads - so I cannot save (on my own disk - why Photoshop CC should look at the network for every task beats me - I had about 5 threads waiting on the network).
All I'm trying to do is find my best 12 pictures from 2013 to make a Christmas letter and I've already spent a whole evening trying to get this to work.
Is this how Lightroom works, or is it a terrible bug, or is there an option to not move the original files when making a Lightroom catalog?
I am a single user, so don't need sharing, network, workflow.
I only want Lightroom to Point to my files, not to move them. Maybe I should go back to Bridge?

I discovered a wonderful blog that explained:
Lightroom is a database and it holds the pictures
Bridge is a browser that browses files on the disk
I'm getting used to Lightroom, even though I have many pictures because I organize them and only look at recent ones, it does seem that Bridge is better for me - so I am not locked into Adobe's database.
All is clear now - except Photoshop is hanging a bit - maybe graphics driver or memory problem. Sometimes it works, sometimes it seems to time out.

Recover file of Time machine with Window XP

I maked a backup with Time Capsule of my Snow Leopard System. Now I sold my Mac Mini and I have only a PC. I need to recover some file of the backup... how i can do? I have only Windows XP. The lan ìs ok and i can access to directory "BANDS" but there are only 41800 file of same size (8,129 MB)

You have to mount the disk image inside the sparse bundle, but Windoze will not recognize your backups.
You need a Mac running Leopard, Snow Leopard, or Lion.

Private/tmp file filled with random folders

Several times in the past few months I have had the Private/tmp file filled with random folders taken off of my HD. I can easily find them with Whatsize but they are always in the Private/tmp file. This, of course brings my startup disc up with the usual warning "Startup disc is full.
I have looked on console and the only thing that looks suspicious is the following entry:
Sep 22 12:35:34 <user>-imac com.apple.launchd[1] (org.postfix.master[934]): Stray process with PGID equal to this dead job: PID 935 PPID 1 pickup
This entry occurs continuously throughout the log.
I use both Super duper and Time Machine to back up my systems HD and my Docs HD.
Any help on this. I have used Apples since 1982 and this is a first.
Thanks

Thanks Red Menace.
I am aware of the regular tmp files, but what I am talking about is over 500GB of random files from my hard disk put into the private/tmp folder. It is not the normal machine operation.
Further investigation indicates it might be Super Duper, but I can not find an exact duplicate of my problem

Rename files or folders in Windows 8 not working

Rename a file or folder on a Windows CE device is not working from Windows 8 when connected through Windows Mobile Device Center.
From Windows 7 it worked just fine!
This has been a problem for a very long time now, and im not alone according to all forums.
But no fix as far as i can find!
Is there anyone that have found a fix on this?

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows8_1-files/windows-8-unable-to-rename-files-on-pocket-pc/abae21b7-7ee1-41c7-853e-1ac7ea5b0413
It seems a issue in window 8.x system. Maybe you can ask for a MS support ticket.

Recover Catpivate from .tmp file - My computer crashed while recording

My PC shutdown while I was recording a session. I found a large .tmp file in my TEMP files from around the time my PC crashed, which I am assuming is the Captivate recording. I attempted to change the file extension to .cp, but I cannot get it to open in Captivate. Any Suggestions???

Had you saved the image files at any time before the crash? If so, you can search your hard drive for them.
When Photoshop doesn't shut down properly, it retains very little. I've even seen a crash make PS wipe my preferences and other settings to their factory state.

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

How to restore files from a backup in windows 8.1

Hello
I did a Factory Image reset recently on my Windows 8.1 PC. I did a backup to an external drive of all my personal files before I did the Factory Image reset.
This backup is listed on the external hard drive as: "Backup files 2014-07-06"
THe properties of this is 322 GB -   765 files   - 17 folders.
THis cannot be all my files UNLESS they were compressed.
The reason i say this is that also on my extrenal hard drive is "Filehistory"
THe properties on FileHistory are: 1.45 TB   - 59,580 files - 765 folders.
I need to restore these files back to my C: drive
I am not confident that the Filehistory has all my files, BUT, since the Backup files 2014-07-06 is so much smaller
than my Filehistory , I do not know what to think.
I have attempted to restore the files from the Backup files 2014-07-06 but get errors that I do not have security clearance. I am the only user on this PC.
I am not very confident that everything is contained on the "FileHistroy" , but I don't really know.
Does anyone have experience with "Backup files' and "Filehistory" that can help me?
thank you!

Hello,
The backup file must have become inaccessible. I am not sure about the error message but it can because of virus infection in your PC that your files must have got damaged. If you are not able to restore backup file from File History, tehn you may try backup recvery software to recover data from it. Try this Windows backup recovery sofwtare - http://goo.gl/kYPP6J
It might help you.
Thanks.

Photoshop locks up trying to recover a file

Earlier, I was working on a photo with many layers and tried to switch to mask mode when it locked up. After an hour of waiting for it finish, I finally terminated PS via Windows task manager. Now, every time I go to start PS, it tries to recover the image and keeps locking up. I tried restarting my computer but it's still doing it. It doesn't lock up the whole computer but I need to finish the work. I have accepted the fact that I will have to start all over with the image, now I just want to get back at it. I am using PS CC on Windows 7.
Thanks for any help.

I think that documents file may be a goner. If you want to recover that file first try resetting your preferences to see if Photoshop starts. If Photoshop still hangs you need to move the recovery PSB files out of your Photoshop recovery folder. Photoshop should start then you can try to open the PSB files you moved out of Photoshop recovery folders one at a time to see in any can be recovered, Each user ID the uses Photoshop should had a autorecover folder for the Photoshop versions the user ID has used.

How do I recover Missing Files

I have several groups of pictures that have gone missing since I first used Picasa to share some photos. I could care less about a lot of them but there were a couple of hundred of my trip to England I would really like to recover. The thumbnails show up in my Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.0 but when you click on them they say that they are missing. These photos are no longer in MY Pictures either and the only thing in those folders is a Picasa.ini .
I have also checked my recycle bin but there is nothing in there. Does anyone have any help as to how I may recover these photos?

It is a common misconception that Starter Edition 'stores', or copies, your files into it. But the program does not move or copy files at all, rather it scans your system's My Pictures directory, and generates miniature versions of your pictures (called thumbnails) so that you can browse a 'flat' list of thumbnails of your photos, overcoming the inconvenience of having to go into separate folders in Windows Explorer to have to find files.The thumbnails, as well as any tags, and Albums that you create in Starter Edition are all stored in the Photoshop Album catalog file, separate from your pictures, and your pictures remain where you originally copied them to your computer.
If you use Photoshop Album to subsequently download files from a digital camera or scanner, the default location where the program will create those files would be in the My Pictures>Digital Camera Photos folder. But if you do NOT use Photoshop Album Starter edition to download files from your camera, then you will find that folder empty.
The thumbnails in the Starter Edition catalog will exist, even if you decide to move or delete the original photos that were added to the program. This will cause files in the Photoshop Album catalog to become 'disconnected' from the original photos. To reconnect the files, you can use the File>Reconnect Missing files command to see if the program can locate the original files in a new location, and once again re-link the catalog thumbnails to the files they once referenced.
Since Photoshop Album has been discontinued, I recommend that folks find an alternative solution. One alternative that will preserve most of what you've created in Starter Edition is the Photoshop Elements 8 trial. Install that, and it will automatically convert the Photoshop Album catalog to a current format, and the program will not time out, as Starter Edition did. If you want to purchase more Editing power, you can also choose to purchase the full program, but it's not required.
If you are like many who have come to this forum wondering how you can get to your photos, now that the program has become locked or expired, don't worry; your photos have never been moved by Photoshop Album; they remain wherever you intially put them, on your hard drive. To get to them, you can navigate your file system using Windows Explorer. They are typically in your My Documents>My Pictures folder. Here is a handy How-To that you could refer to to find photos on your system, as well as some other tips for how you can use folders to keep your photos organized: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/maintain/filemgmt.mspx
Hope those tips help!
