    What version of PS?  If it's CC, just reinstall the CC application manager then PS and sign in.  For an earlier version you will need to call Abobe to have you S/N reset.

  • Data recover from a hard drive error 301

    Can anyone advise me of how to recover data from a hard drive error 301.  I have a pavilion dv7-4177 and i received the hard drive error code 301 two weeks after the warranty expired. I back up my data so I though but when tried to reload that data on a new hard drive it would not take. The damage hard drive will not load the OS now even in safe mode. Is there any way to retrieve this data from that hard drive.

    Hi,
    One possible way to try and retrieve your files from a non-booting drive is to follow the process detailed in the link below.  The Ubuntu operating system CD you create can run from the CD alone ( ie it doesn't have to install on the Hard Drive ) and I've often found it to be successful in retrieving data even from a failing Hard Drive.  When you've created the CD, follow the instructions and see if you can back up your files.

  • Recovering from a hard drive crash

    I had a complete hard drive crash and lost all of the songs in my ITunes library. All the songs are on my IPod. When I reinstall ITunes, is it possible to transfer the songs from my IPod back into my computer? If so, how. I have over 12,000 songs on my IPod so I have no desire to reload all of the CD's again.

    For iTunes version 7 or later, then you can transfer purchased iTunes store music from the iPod to an authorized computer by using the "file/transfer purchases from iPod" menu. Note that the maximum of 5 authorized computers applies here.
    Find out how to do that here.
    How to copy iTunes purchases from an iPod to a computer.
    For all other non purchased content (your own CDs etc) try this method which works on some Windows PCs.
    Enable your iPod for disk use.
    See: iPod Disk Use.
    Open iTunes and select edit/preferences/advanced/general. Put a check mark in the box marked "copy files to iTunes music folder when adding to library" and also "keep iTunes music folder organized", then click 'ok'.
    Connect the iPod whilst holding down the shift/ctrl keys to prevent any auto sync, and if you see the dialogue window asking if you want to sync to this itunes library, click 'no'.
    Then go to file/add folder, open 'my computer', select your iPod and click 'ok'.
    The music files should transfer to your iTunes.
    If this doesn't work (and it may not because officially it's not supposed to), check out the instructions/suggestions here.
    Music from iPod to computer (using option 2). This a manual method using "hidden folders" and although it works, it is a little more involved than other methods.
    Much easier ways are to use one of the many 3rd party programs that copy music from the iPod to the computer.
    One of the most recommended is Yamipod. This is a free program that transfers music from iPod back to the computer. However, it does not transfer playcounts/ratings etc.
    Another free program is Pod Player.
    SharePod is also freeware.
    If you want to recover just the structure of playlists from the iPod (and not the actual song files themselves), there's iRepo for Windows. which I understand has this feature along with all the standard features for these programs.
    iPodRip also has the feature enabling you to reconstruct playlists.
    There is also CopyTrans. This does preserve ratings/playcounts etc if those are important to you but this program is not free. It also supports video transfer.

  • I am recovering from a hard drive crash and Windows 7 reinstall.

    I have reinstalled LR 4.3, photos still in same external drive location, LR catalog back to C:My Pictures file (from backup).
    How do I now add these photos and connect the LR4.3 with the LR catalog to preserve my edits to date on these photos?
    Thanks

    If you have Lightroom installed, then all you should have to do is double click on the catalog that you restored.  If the external hard drive letter is the same as it was before, you should be ready to go.  If the letter has changed it will be necessary for you to use the find missing folders feature to get things synchronized.

  • Recovering from a hard drive crash with play counts in tact - Is it possibl

    I keep all my mp3s on an external hard drive. Well, I did until it just crashed. Luckily, I backed up everything just yesterday to another hard drive so I didn't lose anything. My only issue is this...itunes can't find the files. I guess I can just start from scratch but I don't want to lose my play counts. Is there any way to easily "point" itunes to the back up location? This is more important to me than it should be, I guess.

  • Activation: how can I recover from a hard drive crash?

    My hard drive crashed on me...  All my data is safe, but now I have to figure out how to reactivate both Lightroom 3 and CS3.
    I have rebuilt the failed machine with a new hard drive, but it was getting rather old so I also took the opportunity to purchase a new machine.  My intention is to get Lightroom and CS3 installed and registered on the new machine.  I understand that under normal circumstances I could deactivate Adobe products on the old machine, install and reactivate on the new machine.  But since I rebuilt it, the old machine doesn't actually have Lightroom and CS3 installed and activated -- no activation, so no chance to deactivate.
    I see two options.  Which is easier?
    I could reinstall both Lightroom and CS3 on the old machine, activate them, then deactivate them, then install and activate on the new machine.  If I reinstall and reactivate on the old machine, will Adobe's activation service recognize that I'm reactivating on a machine that already had Lightroom and CS3 installed (everything is the same except the hard drive)?  If not, will I be able to activate since I will be trying to activate an already-activated license?
    Alternately, I could just install on the new machine and attempt to activate there.  I expect I'll run into problems, again because I'm trying to activate with a key that was used to activate on a different system.  I expect I'll have to phone into Adobe to clear this up.
    I'm concerned that if I take the wrong path it will make it more difficult to get everything working in the end, possibly to the point where Adobe will refuse to allow me to activate my licences on my new machine.  Does anybody have any advice?
    Thanks.

    Since CS3 is not a shipping version there is NO activation needed, only the current shipping version. Install CS3 and insert the serial number.
    Do the same with LR. No install, uninstall, gymnastics needed nor phone calls to Adobe Tech Support.
    I did this when my power supply shorted and took the whole machine up in smoke, all four hard drives worth. When I got the new computer I just installed CS2 with the license and no activation needed.

  • How do I recover from a hard drive crash??

    I had an extreme hard disk crash with all of my images and the recovery service could only recover a few of the images.  Here's my problem - when I originally imported my Nikon images (.NEF format) into LR, I created a new .dng format and saved the .NEF images as the backup copy.  Now that I'm trying to get images back, when I try to import from the backup image in the .NEF format, I get a message in LR that says "The files appear to be unsupported or damaged."  What the heck does that mean?  What good are the backups if I can't get to them in LR?  Please help or I've lost thousands of images to use in LR.

    Quilla98 wrote:
    I just did some checking and LR seems to import .NEF format files if taken with the D70 but not with the D90.  So it appears you are absolutely correct about 1.4.1 not supporting the D90 .NEF files.  I guess Bridge can handle the D90 .NEF format but LR won't.  So to use the same process again, I'd have to somehow clear all of the files that Bridge has and start over.  It would probably be much simpler to either use the DNG converter or upgrade to LR 2.
    Support for the D90 was introduced along when the Camera Raw 4.6 update whereas Lightroom 1.4.1 only supports cameras included by Camera Raw 4.4.1. So, yes you will have to upgrade to Lightroom 2.x or convert the NEFs to DNG format.

  • Recovering from a hard drive failure

    My HD recently failed, I just got my machine back from my friendly Apple Store. Thankfully, my iTunes library is on an external HD. I got my music up and running, but I can't get the TV shows I had back in my library. They are all in the iTunes Music folder, in a folder called "TV Shows". Every time I try to add iTunes does nothing. Anyone ever hear of this or have any advice for me?

  • Recovering Items from a Hard Drive?

    Hello everyone. My MBP recently went through a tragic incident which ended up with it needing extensive repair and therefore I am considering getting a new MacBook Pro. I was wondering if all the apps that were downloaded online as well as all other files and bookmarks can be recovered from the Hard Drive? Or would they be saved in iCloud as well? Is it possible to recover all the data in my previous Mac? Thank you very much.

    Yes, Time Machine backs up all your stuff automatically.
    The first Backup is tedious, but after that it works unobtrusively in the background backing up only changed items once an hour (or as often as you attach the External backup drive).
    Time Machine is not the best backup solution ever. There are much more sophisticated and flexible solutions available. But Time Machine is the Backup that actually gets done, and that is the most valuable feature of any Backup system.

  • Recovering data from external hard drive

    Very similar with your experience 
    Last time when I was in Rio, I took part in the famous Carnival there with my boyfriend and we took a lot of interesting photos there. About one week ago, one of my friends asked me to show her the photos. However, it turned out to be inaccessible and the PC can not read the data on the drive. And the PC suggested me to format the external hard drive for reusing it again.

    Launch EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, Then click next button

  • Recover data from external hard drive that was Windows format and connected on a Macbook Pro. Did I lose everything? What happened?

    Hi there this is my first question here!
    I connected my external hard drive originally formatted on PC on my new Macbook. The first time I connected it I could see all my files but today I connected it and after I couldn't see any file nor even on my pc appears as NO NAME with a different name and nothing on it. I think was reformatted, any help to recover all my data?
    It's really important stuff for me

    If the Apple Store couldn't get files off of the drive, it is unlikely that you will be able to. If you have backups, those would be the best way to go. You could also try booting up the computer and holding down T to boot into Target Disk Mode. Plug the broken computer into another one with FireWire and see if it works to recover data from external hard drive. If you can see it, try booting up the broken computer while holding down Option. Choose Recovery HD from the menu, then choose to Reinstall OS X.
    It is unlikely that this will work, because I'm pretty sure that the Apple Store would have tried this. You could try using expensive software to get files off the drive, but it would be risky and the results might not be any good.

  • How to recover backed up photos from mbp hard drive

    I'll try to make this short.
    Basically I had a late 2006 macbook pro 15", it died on me about 2 weeks ago, hard drive failure I think. Just getting the white screen when I started it up, tried a few things and no luck, so I decided it was time to upgrade. Ordered a new macbook pro retina 13".
    Then last weekend I was away and my iphone 5 got water damaged and stopped working completely. The thing is I had everything backed up on icloud apart from my photos because there was too many. I hadnt backed up or synced my iphone with my new mbp (wish I had).
    I now have a new iphone 5s and want to try and get my old photos back.
    I have ordered a usb enclosure to try and recover data from my broken macbook pro hard drive. The enclosure hasnt arrived yet but I wanted to get a head start on what I need to do. I thought it would be as simple as finding the backed up folder itunes keeps with the photos in it. But from looking around the net it seems these photo files arent easily readable. Is there some software I need for this situation, will I need to pay for it ?
    Any help appreciated.
    Cheers

    TM does not retain files that have been deleted from the hard drive for more than one week. During the weekly consolidation files removed from the hard drive are then removed from the TM backup.
    If you are trying to use TM like a regular backup storage utility, then you've misunderstood how TM works. See the following explanation:
    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. Data are deleted to make space for a new backup, but if TM is unable to delete enough files to free up space for the new backup, then you will get a disk full error. Normal thinning during a backup occurs during TM's periodic weekly and monthly consolidation backups. 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.

  • How to recover data from bad hard drive

    Once a hard drive goes bad (cannot get into the computer), is there any hope of recovering any data from it?  If so, how?

    Do you mean the hard drive is mechanically broken for sure?  It's not a data corruption issue that is causing a problem with starting up the Mac, but maybe not be a bad mechanism?
    If the drive is definitely broken, there are businesses that specialize in recovering data from bad hard drives.  For example
    http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/  (I always saw their booth at MacWorld Expos...)
    The cost of such services is usually high.
    cannot get into the computer
    So that probably means the hard drive in question is the internal drive?  If you don't know for sure that the hard drive is physically broken, you can try starting up using your Mac OS X installation disc.  Insert disc in optical drive and start up with the C key held down.  When you get to Installer's screen, go up to the menu bar and run Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.  Does the internal drive appear in the Disk Utility sidebar?
    Alternately, if you have another Mac (that has FireWire), you can try starting the Mac with the problem in FireWire Target Disk Mode,
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1661
    Connect the "target" Mac to the other Mac (running normally) using a FireWire cable.  Run Disk Utility on that Mac.  Does the hard drive of the Mac in FireWire Target Disk Mode appear in the sidebar?
    If you can get the internal drive to appear in Disk Utility, you may be able to run Repair Disk on the First Aid tab.  There are also third-party utilities, such as TechTool Pro (Micromat), Drive Genius (Prosoft), and Disk Warrior (Alsoft), that may be able to fix (or at least recover data from) the hard drive.

  • How to recover data from the hard drive?

    I've always heard that data is never really gone from the hard drive even after you delete it. How do I recover that data? My problem is some photos (my honeymoon photos) have been deleted from my computer and they have also been deleted from the recycle bin. I sure would like to recover them.

    First stop using your system, then get a copy of a program that will recover files like Data Rescue 3.  If you have a time machine backup you may be able to restore them.
