Recovering from lost HD

I lost my primary hard drive (where Lightroom was installed). Luckily my photos and Lightroom backups are on another drive (and backed-up on an external). When I reinstalled Lightroom on my replacement system drive I wanted to restore from the latest backup but I couldn't find any instructions on HELP telling me how that is supposed to be done. I looked in the Lightroom backup folder and saw that the backup was a catalog file so I tried to "open catalog" but I had two problems. 1) All of the photos are in one folder. It seems to have lost the directory structure. 2) The second drive was drive D: before and it is a different letter now so all of the photos are marked as missing. I tried the locate on disk functionality but it only finds a few at a time and still does not put them in the proper directories. Can someone tell me the proper procedure to use in this situation? I would really appreciate your help!

I changed the drive letter by using a computer management tool supplied by Microsoft. I cleared Lightroom's catalog, changed the drive letter to be what it used to be for re-doing my system, and re-booted. I then re-imported the catalog from the same backup as before.
I tried changing the "Include photos from subitems" option but it made no difference. There is not a triangle next to the folder name to twirl open so it looks like they are all in the same folder. In fact, they are listed under "All Photographs" which is not one of my folders. I assume that is a Lightroom default of some kind? (Excuse my ignorance if that is a dumb question.)

Cannot recover from lost of all the controlfiles without resetlogs?
I have an Oracle10g (10.2.0.1) database(on RHEL5.0 system) DB10G with a recovery catalog database RCATALLOG. The RCATALOG database is synchronized with theDB10G database.

Because I did not restore the the controlfiles from the backups, I do not need to open the database with open resetlogs.
Why I cannot open the database without resetlogs? Is any step wrong?
Thank you

Hi,
You restored the controlfile from backup but not the full DB. The Database files header are not sinchronized with your controlfile.
Follow the following steps:
1) Mount your Database and create a backup of the controlfile using:
SQL>ALTER DATABASE BACKUP CONTROLFILE TO TRACE;2) Modify the trace file and recreate the controlfile.
3) At this stage your database is mounted. You need to recover it.
SQL> recover database;
Media recovery complete.4)Open the database after recovery completes.
SQL> alter database open;
Database altered.Done, any problem you can use this link for reference:

Recovering from lost library

Lost my iTunes library files (don't ask how... I'm still not sure), and had to recover using backup copies that were about 2 months old. The situation that left me in is I have about 35 music files and lots of album art still in the original locations in the iTunes Music folders, but iTunes doesn't know about it.
How do I tell iTunes to refresh it's list of songs based on everything it finds in iTunes Music folder?
One thing I tried is to do a search, and from that list create the 35 shortcuts, put them all in a new folder on my desktop, then perform an "add folder...". That didn't seem to work.
Any suggestions?
thanks!

How to recover from lost notes on my iPhone 4?

Today, I believe that I lost a VERY long "note" on my iPhone when my battery died. Either that or I deleted it by accident.
I figured I would plug my iPhone to my laptop to get the latest version of "note" back.
Two things came up:
1 - I had to update my iTunes to the latest version
2 - Problem: my iTunes does not open.
How do I proceed?
Thanks,

Download iTunes 11.1.1 directly from Apple.
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
For the recovery, you may find them in your iTunes backup. If you have not a backup, a third easy iPhone recovery utility is necessary. Please follow the blog to get your notes back.

How do I recover data lost from restoring

I restored my ipod touch to the settings of a former ipod touch without realizing it would delete all my data. It erased some pictures and video, so I am wondering if there is any way to recover that lost data. Help!

Not unless you can restore from a backup that was made from the ipod when it was the way you wanted it.

Hi,
If the tracks were not in your iTunes library on your computer when you subscribed to match, I am afraid that they are lost. Do you have a separate back up of this music?

Iphone cant recover from a lost of service

I am in canada, my Iphone sometimes lost the carrier signal and a "no service" message appear at the top left corner. The thing is the phone seems unable to recover from it even if I move to a full signal strengh location. I need to do a full hardware power off/on (holding the button) for the signal to come back. This is happening on my wife iphone too and all my friends with iphone have this problem too. the thing is its also happening with multiple service carriers (telus, Bell, fido, ...)
This looks a lot like Iphone software bug to me. That makes me think AT&T is NOT the problem in the US, its the phone.

Carrier was initially set at the Telus store and an carrier update happen when I sync it on Itunes. Its always set on Telus, I dont see any manual/auto settings. I was saying in my initial post that it happen on multiple carriers because my friends with iphones are on Bell and Fido and they also have the same problem. I even saw one of my friend phone went from 5 bars signal to no service while it was just standing there on a desk.
The problem happen yesterday. I set it to airplane mode then set airplane mode off and after that it search for a signal and found it. At least I dont have to reboot it anymore.
Also, the iphone is not very good at picking up signal inside buildings has other phones with the same carrier will pick up 5 bars while the iphone will be go down to 2 for example.

Is there any way to recover files lost from restarting my Mac?

I had Garage Band and Pages documents open, and all of a sudden an opaque grey screen slid down over the screen and it asked me to restart the computer by holding down the power button. I did that because it wouldn't let me do anything else, and when I turned it back on, my Pages document and my Garage Band song were gone. Is there anything on Mac that does what PCs do, when it shuts down unexpectedly it saves your files? It would be really helpful to recover those documents!!

Hi Vicky, sorry to hear, where these new/unsaved docs, or older modified ones?
It's not likely, but if the latter...
It may be possible to recover some erased ones, but you must quit using the Computer immediately, because the OS will think it can write to those freed blocks on the disk.
Either boot this one in Target mode...

How do I recover a "lost" font in Pages? The font file appears to exist in my MS Office area.

How do I recover a lost font in pages? The font management process seems very opaque, lots of areas on the hard drive with font folders. None seems to match the list of fonts I can pull down from the font menu in Pages. At the moment, the font I need is Century Gothic, which does reside in the MS Office area, but nowhere else that I can find. Would greatly appreciate help!
thanks much, Eilert

Thanks for the idea, fruhulda. I just checked (Jul 18) and the "missing" font is there. However, yesterday I tried a full restart of my computer, and it seemed to fix (?) the problem, so I still am not sure what happened. At any rate, the problem is now gone.

Mac Pro display does not recover from sleep

Hello,
I have a Mac Pro Mid 2010 with two graphics cards (ATI 5770 & nVidia Geoforce GT 120) and three displays. After intense use of the GPUs with graphics processing jobs, and after the screen goers to sleep, they do not recover. The computer is accessible via the network (ping, ssh, etc) however, the screens blank out and no longer recover from sleep. The only resolution is to reboot.
I have already run memtest all just to make sure there isn't a memory issue. All tests passed. Also, this issue has ocurred with Mountain Lion and Mavericks.
Does anyone have any suggestions or experiences with regard to this iussue?
Thanks

Update -- I now can reproduce the issue at will and it is definitely related to the sleep feature and has gotten much worse under OS X Mavericks. Side Rant -- First let me note how disappointing Mavericks is as a platform. Apple's output seems to be getting progressively less thought out, reliable and buggy.
Now back to the issue. I created a hot corner that puts my display to sleep. Every time I active the hot corner the system display is lost -- that is the system continues to function and respond via network (ping, ssh, etc) but no joy on un-sleeping the displays.
I have Mac Pro Mid 2010 w/ 2x 2.4Ghz Quad Core, 32GB RAM, ATI 5770 and NVidia Geoforce GT 120 using three displays (2x 27" Apple and 1x Panasonic 1080P HD TV) running OS X 10.9.1 (13B42).

I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.

Is there any file carver technology tool to recover from a HDD only a group of named jpg files

Is there any file carver technology tool to recover from a HDD only a group of named jpg files that i lost? I lost 500 jpg files in my iPhoto library named i.e from 1.jpg to 500.jpg and I want to recover ONLY them from an 1TB external WD My Book e-sata disk, to avoid time waste and unwanted jpg files.
I' ve used data recovery software as Photorec, but it recovers all the jpgs it can find, it can't search for specific name files and as it uses its own naming for the files it recovers, i have thousands of photos to look up and find these i really want.Not to mention so much waiting time.
Even if you know other technology tool that can help me please tell me.
I've also used StellarPhoenixMacDataRecovery that is not file carving tool, but with similar results.

Prosoft Data Rescue may be what you need. Others may work that way, that are described here:
My data has become inaccessible, and I don't have a backup!

I resently upgraded my OS to Snow Leopard, but the information in my address book did not transfer. How can I recover the lost information?

I upgraded to Snow Loepard OS. But not all the information in the address book was transfered. How can I recover the lost information from my old address book?

No I did not make a copy of my address book.
Some information was moved over, many did not.
I do not see a pattern.
I think all the info is still on the hard drive, I just don't know how to recover it.

Recover Notes lost in a backup

I had a lot of important information written in my notes and lost it during my last backup. Foolishly I checked the box 'replace information on my iphone' with my gmail notes account. Is there a way to recover the lost information from my notes that was only on my iPhone?
Thank you so much for your help.

If you synced your phone while these notes were still on it and you haven't synced again since they were deleted, you may be able to recover them by restoring your phone to your last backup (the backup includes notes). This will revert your settings and data to those contained in the backup (not just notes) so be sure to save any more recent data prior to restoring). To do this:
Without connecting your phone, open iTunes on your computer and go to Preferences, on the Devices tab check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".
Connect your phone to your computer, right-click on the name of your phone when it appears in iTunes on the left sidebar and select Restore from Backup, choose your most recent backup to restore from.
When this finishes you can go back to iTunes>Prerferences>Devices and re-enable automatic syncing.
