What is wrong with your database and are the files that you have from the orafolder copies of the database that were made when the database was shutdown? Are you in archive log mode?

Now I installed windows again and I want to recover my databases from ORADATA folder, could you please guide me step by step so that I could be able to recover my lost data.
Any immediate help will be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
I have got only data files in my ORADATA Folder
You have no redo log files[i]
I don't have control file there.
You have to create control file like
STARTUP NOMOUNT
CREATE CONTROLFILE REUSE DATABASE "taj"
NORESETLOGS ARCHIVELOG
MAXLOGFILES 5
MAXLOGMEMBERS 3
MAXDATAFILES 10
MAXINSTANCES 1
MAXLOGHISTORY 113
LOGFILE
GROUP 1 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\TAJ\REDO01.LOG' SIZE 10M,
GROUP 2 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\TAJ\REDO02.LOG' SIZE 10M,
GROUP 3 'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\TAJ\REDO03.LOG' SIZE 10M
DATAFILE
'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\TAJ\SYSTEM01.DBF' SIZE xxx,
'D:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.1.0\ORADATA\TAJ\USERS01.DBF' SIZE xxx,
CHARACTER SET xxxxxxxxxafter mount your database you have datafile or redo log files for open your database.

How do i Secure & recover file from shared folder

Hi All,

not available with Microsoft then
2. How do i recover file which deleted from MAP drive...
Please help me to resolve this issue...
Kalpesh Chauhan

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.

Is there a way to recover files from a folder that has accidentally been overwritten?

Need help real bad coz I stand to lose a lot of articles I have written and could make up my portfolio...

Restore them from your backup or use a product such as Data Rescue or FileSalvage.

Oradata folder size over 6.5 gb

What should I do in this case? One temp.dbf file>3.5 gb. Which files can I delete from oradata folder
Amitesh

You should also check dba_temp_files to see if the temp file belongs to your temporary tablespace and v$logfile to see if the redo log files are used by the instance. You should also make sure that the files do no belong to another database instance running on the same server.

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility

How do i repair or recover data from a corrupt USB external hard drive that does not show up on my Mac desktop or disk utility?
Last night i was using my external hard drive, for some reason the folder just closed and i couldn't find it on my desktop.
After googling solutions, i found it in the disk utilities, i clicked on the 'repair' button many times, but it said the 'error...' message.
So i ejected it to try again, now when i connect the USB external hard drive it doesn't show up on my desktop or disk utilities.
I really just want to either repair or recover the data on it because it literally has everything (documents, work files, photos etc) on it,
I downloaded an application to recover my files but it needs the USB to at least show up.recognise it which mine doesn't.
I know i should've backed it up on another USB, this definitely teaches me for next time to back up all my files.
Are the files lost forever or can i recover them by going to a shop or using a software?

Thank you for responding.
This might sound stupid since i'm not really knowledgeable with Macs,
but since all my files were moved from my mac computer to the external hard drive,
is it possible to recover those files through my Mac - like recovering deleted files?

Recovering data from Time Capsule after conversion from Snow Leopard to Lion

Had a problem with my iMac, which was running Snow Leopard O/S. Data was backed up on Time Capsule using Time Machine, although recent back-ups had failed (but earlier back-ups had been OK). Apple support determined that I needed to re-install the O/S and they walked me through it. After blowing away all data (believing that once O/S reinstalled, could recover from Time Capsule), the reinstall failed. Took to Apple store, where they installed Lion at my request. Then tried to recover from Time Capsule, but couldn't do so. Sparse file doesn't work (it shows 10GB, which is wrong as it had several hundred GB's before due to lots of photos). Apple Support couldn't solve issue, believes it was corrupted with the last backup. Ultimately recommended that I have professional data recovery service recover data from the iMac hard-drive (as opposed to Time Capsule). Spoke to recovery service recommended by Apple, and it is very expensive (also, given the O/S reinstall, anything they recover will have new file names and no directory structure). They also said getting data off the Time Capsule is even more difficult and expensive to recover. I'm not a happy camper.
I would welcome any thoughts on what to do. FWIW, I live in South Florida and there appear to be lots of data recovery companies locally, but Apple support had said that they have only a few authorized vendors that can do it without voiding warranty, so I'm reluctant to even call them. Thanks. Steve

Your backups may be corrupted.
Try to repair them, via Disk Utility (in your Applications/Utilities folder).
Mount the sparse bundle by opening the TC in the Finder and double-clicking on the sparse bundle. Drag the sparse bundle into Disk Utility's sidebar, and do a +*Repair Disk*+ (not permissions) on it. If it finds errors it can't fix, run it again (and again), until it either fixes them all, or can't fix any more.

Moving items from sub-folder to inbox are disappearing

Hello everyone,
We have exchange 2010 and we are having issue when user move item from sub-folder to inbox then the item just disappears. I have tested this at-least 3 mailboxes.
If i do this in outlook then it disappears right away. if i do this in OWA then it disappears in 10 seconds. Sometimes it shows up in deleted folder but most of the time it doesn't but it always shows up in "recover deleted item" in outlook.
Please advise how to find what's going on. thanks

I don't think it is a Managed Folder Mailbox Policy which is doing this. We have almost ruled out that the issue is specific to Client but not Server. If you want to check the Managed Folder Mailbox Policy for a mailbox run the command below:
Get-Mailbox -ResultSize Unlimited -Server ServerName |?{$_.ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy -ne $Null}
The above command will help us get all the mailboxes where there is a ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy Applied
To Get the ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy for a Specific Mailbox Run the command below:
Get-Mailbox MailboxName | Fl Name,DisplayName,ManagedFolderMailboxPolicy
If Deleting the outlook profile/ost fixed the issue, then it might have been most likely an issue with corrupted outlook rule. if you want to do it for all the mailboxes across org, i would suggest you force that via group policy using a PRF File.

ORA-17628: Oracle error 19505 returned by remote Oracle server
please friends, try to help me to solve the problem.
Thanks,
Vihang

hi.
Its not necessary its a otherway around to recover datafile from this backupset and apply archivelogs to make datafile consistent.
yes, it ain't the right way to restore backup to primary location.
so how would i connect to standby database with primary and recovery catalog.
i need to connect to recovery catalog and primary site because i need to restore to primary location and recovery catalog contain all metadata and backupsets related information.
i also tried the following steps from oracle documentation.
Connect to the standby database as the target database:
CONNECT TARGET sys@standby
You are prompted for a password:
target database Password: password
Connect to the primary database as the auxiliary database:
CONNECT AUXILIARY sys@primary
You are prompted for a password:
target database Password: password
Back up the datafile on the standby host across the network to a location on the primary host. For example, suppose that /disk1/df2.dbf is the name of datafile 2 on the standby host. Suppose that /disk8/datafile2.dbf is the name of datafile 2 on the primary host. The following command would copy datafile 2 over the network to /disk9/df2copy.dbf:
BACKUP AS COPY DATAFILE 2 AUXILIARY FORMAT '/disk9/df2copy.dbf';
Starting backup at 06-NOV-08
using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
allocated channel: ORA_DISK_1
channel ORA_DISK_1: SID=1068 device type=DISK
channel ORA_DISK_1: starting datafile copy
input datafile file number=00004 name=C:\APP\ADMINISTRATOR\ORADATA\prod\USERS01.

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.

Recovering iPhoto from Time Machine - Project is not recovered, the book is

Having lost a book in iPhoto, I recovered iPhoto from Time Machine. The Project containing the book was there, but the pictures in the book were not. The pictures are in the photos section, but not in the book. I do not want to have to reload the pictures one by one. Any suggestions. Looks like a defect in Time Machine
Richard

I just recovered a library with a couple of books in them and all photos were in the book. You might try recovering a different backup of the same library. Go backward from the time of your last attempt and then, if necessary, forward. If all fail then you've got an problem with TM and that library. Check to see if other files can be recovered satisfactorily. If you use iWeb try recovering your domain file from a time back (select the option to keep both so you don't lose your work to date).
It might be a little late, i.e. the horse is out of the barn, but you might consider using a separate library for your books. That provides a couple of benefits: 1 - working in your primarary library, deleting files, etc. will have no effect on your book; 2 - it's easy to backup and archive the book for ordering additional copies in the future. Old Toad's Tutorials #9 and 9a describe two different methods. I prefer #9a.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier versions) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. There are versions that are compatible with iPhoto 5, 6, 7 and 8 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
NOTE: iPhoto 8's new option in it's rebuild library window, "Rebuild the iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup" may make this tip obsolete. We'll know when users have occasion to use it and see if that's the case.
