Rescue data from dead NOMAD jukeb

I have a first generation NOMAD jukebox (6 GB). it's now archi'ved on Creative, as it's no longer a product for them, so I can't get any support on it from Creative. I bought my jukebox about fi've years ago when I moved from the USA to Europe. hence, it had most of my music collection on it, and then I got rid of all the CDs after I ripped them to the jukebox because I was making a transcontinental move. While I had several lovely years with my jukebox, it has decided to stop working now. Problem is, it wasn't backed up because I didn't have the storage on my laptop to back it up with. Now, I can't get my jukebox to turn on AT ALL, with or without the power cord attached, and my laptop doesn't recognize that it's plugged in when I attach it via the USB port, so I haven't been able to transfer any of the data that way either. I've been to a few computer repair stores and they said they don't work on MP3 players. ANY suggestions for recovering the data? I miss my tunes, it comprised the bulk of my old CD collection. I know I'm lame for not buying a secondary external hard dri've to back it up with, but kicking myself won't bring back my tunes. Just need a solution now. ;(

I wouldn't begine to tell you what chip or whatever to pull and think you're going to save your pictures.
The only way I know is to get your PlayBook back started, and I do believe it's possible.
1. Get a rapid charger unit and use it. Many users have been successful with this.
2. Jump start a PlayBook a knottyrope tip

Rescue data from Dead Playbook

My playbook is dead. Out of warranty. Tried every method posted to get it working.
Watched some videos about taking the playbook apart.
I was unable to tell where data is stored (pictures). Probably on a chip of some kind.
Given that I will not be able to get the playbook working:
Is it possible to take it apart, find the chip (or something) that stores the data and then somehow hook it up to a PC in order to retrieve the data (pictures). I don't care if the playbook is destroyed in the process; just would like to save the important family pictures that were on it.
Any comments would be appreciated.
I am only interested in getting the pictures, not in saving the playbook.
Thanks.

Please help! Desperately need to retrieve critical data from dead Curve 9330

Re-posting as I'm desperate.
My phone shut down while making a call. The screen went black, no LED signal light, no power, totally dead.
Actions already attempted:
1) removed/replaced battery multiple times,
2) inserted fully charged spare battery,
3) connected to charger cord,
4) connected to computer via USB and
5) connected to computer via USB with battery removed.
The phone has not been subjected to water or cooked by heat. It was operating perfectly fine for six months prior to this event. One caveat: the phone was running on software one version (5.5?) behind the current latest version (6.0?), as the newer software slowed my phone to a crawl plus I really didn't like the new calendar software.
Verizon is replacing the phone under the warranty program but I I desperately need to retrieve critical medical and tax data from this dead device as I regrettably have not backed up in the six months since I purchased the phone.
Any help/replies are urgently needed as I am required to return the dead device within five days of receiving the replacement unit (expected today 8/26/11).  Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

You don't have BlackBerry Protect installed on the device, by any chance? If so, you'd have an over the air backup of contacts, calendar, SMS, etc.
I'd suggest one last time, leave it charge a couple of hours on a wall outlet charger. After a few hours, keep it connected to the charger, remove the battery for a few minutes, replace and see if it boots.
If not, then I think you're stuck.
We might be able to get the device to reload the OS and power up again, but you will lose all your data.

Help with rescuing data from faulty disk

Sorry the long wall of text, I wanted to explained everything as detailed as possible to not mess with the chronological order (TL; DR down below!)
Ok, here's the thing. I have two hard drives, a ssd [sda] (for the OS [arch linux, ubuntu and win7], munchkin 240gb) and a sata 3 one ([sdc] wd, 1 tb) that I use for everything else. A couple of weeks ago I found there were progressive, unexpected and random behaviour particularly with windows, random freezes, no bsod, ecc... I finally found that the second hard drive was the culprit so I decided stop using a buy a new disk (while sending the faulty to RMA, since it's barely one year old, and I don't do nothing out of ordinary), I got a seagate with 1 tb.
I honestly didn't want to mess too much about the data and wanted to save the most without wasting time, so I decided to try to clone the whole disk with dd according to the wiki (Disk Cloning). I imagined that the "bad sectors" were from the ntfs partition, so I went with that. Clearly I could get corrupt files in linux too, but my guess was that the most important data was safe, because I had been using it for the last couple of days without problems. The process ended with a lot of I/O errors, but in the end it showed the same number of `in` and `out`. I regenerated the UUID for the new cloned disk and each partition, modified the fstab and restarted (fingers crossed).
I could log into arch linux without problems, used it for a while, restarted a second time (that windows habit that I still found hard to overcome) and everything was okay (yes I made sure I was actually on the new disk). Next was windows time, which to my surprise worked fine too, I even played a while. After patting myself in the back, I rebooted the machine thinking in how much work I would like to have done today, and there were an error that apparead on the login screen, just a ms before I pressed enter, I think I read it was referring to another partition of sda. The system got stuck in the middle of the "log in screen" and loading x with a black screen, nothing else. Waited a while, losing hope I pushed the RESET button.
Now, it was stuck during the boot up process, after "killing rf radio" or something. It was obviously stuck somewhere else... (that message had appeared there since I built the pc) it read though that the /var partition was clean, same with the root partition, next I tried with "recovery" kernels, and each other kernel I had still in grub; but the problem persisted. Tried with ubuntu, had to change fstab again, rebooted, tried to enter, stuck on the loading screen with the big purple background. I couldn't get anything else past that, neither to get a decent log.
I don't know why (or maybe because I was desperate) I entered the uefi/bios settings and found that the time was localtime instead utc.... weird I thought and I blamed windows (though, I had the registry hack working for a while) and imagined that I updated something that removed that *fixed* the blessed fix. Since I remember having issues with partitions not being correctly mounted once because of time issues, I thought it was a problem with the time... nope, nothing changed.
I tried again with the recovery kernel of the ubuntu install, I could drop on the root shell, and tried to fix the clock time after remounting, same with mounting the /var partition (ubuntu doesn't use that one), it threw that "bad superblock error", but fsck ran saying the filesystem was clean and it was mount normally later. Somewhere between, I mounted the home partition, no errors, gave a quick navigation. I tried to install ntpd to follow the "troubleshoot" from the Time arch wiki page, but HA, no internet.
Rebooted again, and from the menu from "ubuntu recovery", allowed me to enable networking. Quite nice I thought, and pressed enter. It politely informed that I needed to mount the system (root partition) in read/write instead read-only. I happily said yes (I already had remounted the ubuntu root as rw, and worked ok), but stopped at the home partition taking about 10 minutes in "phase 2", suddenly started throwing a lot of errors, about missing inodes, files pointing nowhere, etc. It put a lot of files into lost+found directory. Oh, there it was... I thought, let's go into Arch Linux then...
Now the system booted up quite fast, and I was welcomed by the black screen asking coldly for my login information, I wrote the credentials, pressed enter, aaaaand PAH, "/home/pablo" change directory failed: No such file or directory. HA, funny I thought, lsblk, the partition was mounted, ls -l /home/... WHAT? the folder wasn't there.
I looked for the lost+found folder inside the home directory, and it had a lot of directories and files called DXXXXXX.RCN, and IXXXXXX.RCN and some symbolic links. The directories had files inside, the IXXXXX are actually files, ecc.
Right now, I'm lost... I'm not scared about the data, because it's still living happily (?) on the bad disk, but I still need to recover it, so I can filter it later allowing to write zeros to the fault disk and send it for a replacement. Is there any chance to recover the data? (I rather not going into around 100 files/directories with cryptics names), or maybe use another method to "recover" the data from the previous disk? using cp or rsync? Any good experience or advice on this?
PS.- Sorry for the epic story, I hope I don't scare readers or other fellow members.
TL; DR
+ I have 2 disks (ssd [OS {win7, arch and ubuntu}] and sata3 [data])
+ Sata3 disk started to fail on windows (users folder it's on the sata3), arch/ubuntu never had a problem
+ I bought a new one, and I'm trying to send the old one for a RMA
+ Clone the disk according to the wiki and rebuilt the UUID
+ Change fstab to use the new cloned disk
+ Worked fine for a couple of times
+ Used windows, played, everything fine
+ Entered arch, now I couldn't it got stuck without showing any errors
+ Tried every kernel and recovery image without success
+ With Ubuntu I could drop into a root shell
+ Mounted home partition, no problems
+ Tried to activate networking, started to run fsck and threw a lot of errors (I remember I read something about "offset" not correcting) and moved files to lost+found directory
+ Arch Linux started, but I couldn't log because /home/pablo doesn't exist anymore and it seems everything lives now in the lost+found directory with weird names like DXXXXXX and IXXXXXXX
Aftermath: I have the original data, safe (?) on the bad disk (like I said, I never had any problem in my home partition). I really don't want to be nit picky about what I can save, I'll be happy to save as much as I can, but I don't mind losing corrupt files (that's why I thought cloning with filling with zeros would be enough). I just want to ditch the bad disk and send it to wd for a replacement.
End of TL; DR

I can see three possibilities:
1. The new HDD is broken as well.
2. The Linux partition contained a little garbage from old HDD's errors and that confused Linux and caused it to corrupt the partition further by writing more garbage to it.
3. The garbage from old HDD's errors contained on the Windows partition confused Windows and caused it to corrupt the Linux partition by overwriting it with garbage.
1. Rather unlikely if the HDD is new, but still worth checking. Install smartmontools and run smartctl -a /dev/new-hdd. On the "SMART attributes" list, check if any of "Reallocated_Sector_Ct", "Reallocated_Event_Count", "Current_Pending_Sector", "Offline_Uncorrectable" have RAW_VALUE other than zero or if the "SMART Error Log" contains any entries. If the attributes are all zero and the error log is empty, everything is fine.
2. Make new image of the old HDD. Make sure that Windows and Linux partitions don't overlap each other due to HDD read error. Run fsck on the Linux partition before mounting it to ensure that it doesn't contain errors which could lead to further errors. If it doesn't, it should be safe to mount and use it.
3. You said that Windows partition certainly contains error. Don't run Windows and don't mount this partition in Linux without running some NTFS checker (Windows tools on some other Windows system or ntfsck on Linux) and fixing all errors contained there. Alternatively, you can reinstall Windows on the new HDD and manually copy all the files you care about that are still readable from the old HDD. BTW, don't modify anything on the old HDD, as this would likely corrupt its other contents in the same way that modifying its copy corrupted other parts of its copy.

Retrieving data from dead macbook

Hi, I had a macbook that doesn't work anymore, but it's hard drive is fine. I want to take the data from that hard drive and store them in my new macbook. I know that I need a special cable for that, but I can't remember how it's called and what type is appropriate for macbooks. Let me know if you have any suggestions

Niel wrote:
The enclosure needs to have an USB port and be capable of holding a Serial ATA drive.
Or FireWire 400 if the new MacBook has FireWire. Maybe even a networking enclosure with an ethernet port, although I haven't seen one for 2.5" drives yet.

Moving data from dead, broken iPad to new iPad?

My wife's boss ran over her iPad. It's toast. However...
She had just gotten the iPad set-up for business with all sorts of work-related files and what-not. Here's my question...
If the logic board miraculously survived the smashing, is it possible for the techs at the Apple store to transfer her data from the busted iPad's board to her new iPad?

When an iPad is synced via iTunes, it makes an automatic backup of the device. This, as I said before, if the new iPad is connected to the same computer the old one was used with to sync apps and files, you can opt to restore the new iPad from the backup of the old one. This is an option which is only available when the iPad is first activated or if it is restored to as-new via iTunes.

How can I rescue data from bad hard drive

My imac stop working last night. The imac goes to the apple logo and then it shut itself. I had ubuntu on my other partition, so when there and I was able to see the Macintosh HD. I called Apple care and they asked me to do a repair disk from my installing DVD, but I was getting repair failed. After couple of time he told me that the only way to fix this is by installing from the beginning, like erasing everything. I had a back from last year and I had some picture that I hadn't backup. So, I decide to buy an hard drive. When I came back, I when to ubuntu and I was still able to see the Macintosh HD. I was having problem on ubuntu, so I decide to reboot and then I didn't have neither Mac partition nor Ubuntu. I insert the leopard dvd and when I check my hard drive on disk utility, I don't see any partition. I would like to know if there is a way to recover the data that I had on my mac partition. By the way everything happen after I upgraded Safary.

Hi
If you can't access the drive using the normal methods (DU) you might be struggling? You could have a go and use something like Data Rescue:
http://www.prosofteng.com/
As long as the drive is spinning you might stand a chance? If you can physically hear the drive whirring/clicking or making cricket/scratching like noises or a slight hum when its powered up you might be wasting your time?
If the drive sounds 'normal' you might want to try:
http://www.alsoft.com/
If you were so inclined and able you could set up your own highly controlled and engineered environment. Physically take the drive apart and try to read the platters themselves. You would need specialized software (expensive) or you could develop something suitable yourself.

HELP How to rescue data from a HD with only the Terminal utility working

I can no longer access the hard disk on a 2008 unibody Mac Book after an failed OS upgrade (?). Running the original OS 10.5.5 from the grey CD-ROM that came with the device and using the "Terminal" utility, I find all data in their place and within the correct structure.
I tried to make an image of the HD or to copy the files to the external disc using the Hard Disk utility, but all attempts have produced an "operation not possible" message. Target mode will not work, as the device has no firewire connection implemented.
How can I access the files (I know they are there, I can see them...) and e. g. copy them to an external disc or rescue them with an other method?
PLEASE HELP ME
Thank you, Martin
PS Please don't tell me that experienced users will always have backups of their files: It is my wife's device and that's exactly what I have been telling her for years. Still, it's my wife...

Click here and choose 10.5 from the menu for usage instructions. Installing the OS on an external drive is done the same way as doing it on the internal drive, but it needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Rescuing data from a hard disk

Hi,
For various reasons my wife's HD failed, and I began installing OS X, when it gave up during the process. Luckily most of it is backed up on Time Capsule, but I do need to recover some Mail from her drive. Linking her MacBook to my machine using the T key and a firewire cable (not sure of the word for this) her drive appears. It says that there are only 16 GB available (on a 60GB hard drive) which means that the data is there, somewhere, but the files that show up don't add up to anywhere near that amount of data. Could the files I need to extract be invisible?
I've done a screengrab showing what is displayed on her drive, but I'm not sure how to attach it. I'm sure that would help any answer, but for now can anyone help?
Thanks

try using data recovery software like [Data rescue II|http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php] or [Filesalvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1].

Possible to recover data from dead HD?

in July of this year, my HD stopped working for whatever reason. i got the folder icon when i started my Mac mini that day and did lots of troubleshooting with no luck. i ended up putting a new one in and all is fine now. EXCEPT all my pics and whatnot is on my old HD. the nearest apple store is 3hrs away and dont plan on making a trip any time soon. is there any way possible to recover the data? what are the possibilities of getting the data over since the old HD stopped working? it didnt spin, it was dead quiet. ive seen alot of those HD to USB data recovery connections to transfer info but dont know if it will work? thanks for the help!!

If it is completely dead in that it is not making any noise indicating it is not spinning etc. then you cannot use any software to try and recover data, these software programs generally only help if the hard disk is physically ok but the data is damaged.
In your case it would appear to be a hardware problem and the only option would be to send it to a specialist data recovery firm. If you went to Apple they would only be able to replace it with a new one (if under warranty) and would not do any data recovery.
The specialist recovery firms would completely dismantle the hard disk and replace faulty parts to enable them to get it working and to copy the data off. Your profile does not indicate your location, but an example firm (I have no personal experience of them) is Datatrak Labs see http://www.datatrack-labs.co.uk/company_profile.asp
By the way, why have you not been making backups? Time Machine makes this so easy it is no longer excusable to not do this. I had a hard disk fail in one of my Macs earlier this year (hardware failure), but because I had a full Time Machine backup I lost nothing.

Easiest way to extract data from dead Macbook Pro?

I figured if anyone could help, it would be you guys. I would imagine a large majority of you are more computer savvy than anyone I know. My MBP crashed almost a year ago, I opened it one morning to find it wouldn't turn on. It doesn't properly boot, it just sounds different. The screen stays black and the light on the front isn't the same, I think it kind of goes in and out.
Anyway, unfortunately I've given up on getting the Mac back, but I really need the stuff that was on it. I heard I could put this hard drive in a new MBP when I get one, but that probably won't be anytime soon. What would the cheapest and/or easiest way to retrieve my data? I was hoping a friend could somehow open its files and put it on an xhd? Something tells me it's not that easy though. Any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated

shldr2thewheel: Right on. It's good to know there are options. However, if it comes down to something like that, I'll just have to wait until I make a lot more than what I make now. I could care less about most of the stuff, I just want all of the videos I've taken on Photo Booth. My best friend died last year and it has some of the best times of my life on there.
Shootist007: I'm at work now and it's been over 6 months since I've even tried to turn it on. From what I remember, the boot noise doesn't go 'up' like normal. It used to make two noises really fast, the latter being higher. I'm sure there's a much better way to describe it but I sure can't think of it. The system does come to life, but it doesn't do anything. The fans turn on, the LED light slowly flashes, but the screen does nothing. I also seem to remember the sound of it being on being a lot quieter, like it wasn't actually on. I'm sorry if this isn't enough to work with.

Recovering iTunes meta data from dead machine

The power supply failed on the Windows 7 pc that I was using for my iTunes library, let's call that computer A. I had been planning to migrate the library to my new machine anyway, lets call that computer B. I'm not planning on replacing the power supply on computer A. I can pull the HD and put it in computer B as an additional drive, what files do I need to recover from the iTunes folder from computer A?
I know that when I migrated that library from my old Macbook, I needed to to a search and replace in the XML files to point them to the music file's new home, but in that effort, I migrated the library xml file from the Macbook, I didn't need to recover the files from a dead machine.
Worst case scenario and I just re-import everything, but I've had this library for years, I'd like to preserve the playcounts, ratings and playlists, if at all possible.
Computers A and B are both Windows 7.

I did. I even looked at both XML files and the path was identical on all of them. What ended up fixing it for me was to go into preferences>advanced, click on the change location, select the same directory it was in, it went through this lengthy process where it updated and/or looked for album art, and said something about updating my library. when it was done, approximately 20% remain in an unfound status. I rebooted, repeated the process, and I was left with only a handful, about a dozen songs in all, and I manually "found" them.
I am happy though, I kept the playcounts and ratings and all of my playlists are intact.
Thanks for you efforts Ed...

Transferring data from dead G4 to new iMac..

I've got an old 20" iMac g4. The lcd or inverter failed.. I have removed the hard drive from it.
I have a drive adapter (that I have successfully used with snow leopard before) to connect an ide drive via USB. I simply cannot get Snow Leopard to mount it.
If I look in the disks folder I see disk1 and disk0, but I'm not sure how to mount it or if it is even the drive I'm connecting.
Any advice would be useful..!

Migration Assistant via FireWire is the normal method. Details in Finder->Help->Mac Help->transfer files.

Moving data from a dead G5 with serial ATA drives to a Mac Pro

I have a dead Power Mac dual 2.7 GHz G5. The red light on the edge of the mother board is on - and the machine does not start up. It has been dying slowly - the dual monitors turn off when I send an image to my printer.
It is under Apple Care - and today I purchased a Mac Pro quad 3.0 to replace it.
But - I need some files from the 2 drives in the dead dual 2.7 G5. They are 250GB Serial ATA; 7200 rpm drives.
From what I read here I cannot simply put the drives into the new Mac Pro.
So - I think that I need a firewire enclosure for the 250GB Serial ATA; 7200 rpm drives that will let me get out the data.
What is a good enclosure to do this - or is there another way? I can't send in the G5 for repair until I rescue the data from the drives and erase them.
Dual 2.7 G5, 2 intel iMacs, 1 MacBook, 1 Powerbook, 18 G4 Macs, 3 iPods Mac OS X (10.4.9) I teach Digital Photography clases - on Macs

You can install them - you just won't be able to boot
from them.
Don't move programs over - you should re-install them
instead.
That would be great. I don't need to boot from them - I just need to rescue some files.
Can I erase them from the Mac pro before I send the G5 off for service?

How to get data from hard drive in dead iMac?

I have an old slot-loading iMac (350Mhz G3 blueberry) that just died, probably a dead power supply or something. Won't turn on at all. I don't care about restoring it, I just want to take the hard drive out and grab data from it. I've found instructions for removing the HD ... but any tips on the best/cheapest way to hook it up to get data from it? It's EIDE I believe from what I've read so far. Thanks for any help.

Hey Richard.....Thanks for the reply to my question about my wife's dead iMac.....
Her iMac had been acting up lately, mostly to do with her Outlook Express freezing up in OS9. I dunno if OS9 was freezing or if the application was failing. Regardless, I would have to quit OS9, restart Outlook which at the same time restarted OS9. All would be fine for a while, a day or two and then the scene would repeat itself. But I think that issue is separate from the iMac being "dead". Often we have power outages in the area, more than we should. I had the iMac plugged into a battery backup, some APS product I think it is. I believe it is only good for less than an hour as we have other devices drawing on it too. Most of our power outages are of short duration, just enough to be aggravating, sometimes having to reset clocks, etc...And a couple times, I would have to reset the time and date on the iMac so this told me that the PRAM battery was below minimum voltage. But the iMac would ALWAYS restart, even with the low battery. But the most recent outage, about one hour duration, did in the iMac, somehow or other. I do believe the battery backup basically fully discharged. So I removed the battery, could not find a new battery locally so I drove to the big city and paid the local Apple service dealer a visit. I got ripped big time price wise, embarrassed to say. So I get home, put the battery in the holder, depressed the CMU reset, the powerbutton illuminated as did a green LED by the memory modules for less than three seconds and then quit. I also heard the HD trying to spin up and a high voltage THUMP which I assume is the CRT trying to ignite. If I unplugged the iMac, removed the battery, plug in the power again and hit the power button, the iMac would repeat the same short on period and then quit. So it did not seem to make any difference if there was a battery in place. I read somewhere to pull the battery, pull the AC cord, hold down the power button to dump any current (?) and let the unit sit for 24hrs. After that length of time, I was supposed to replace the battery, depress the CMU reset, wait ten seconds and then feed it AC. Well, when I pressed the power button, I heard life for maybe five seconds, maybe a second longer, then a beep and then it shut down. I pulled the AC cord, pulled the battery, re-inserted the battery, depressed the CMU reset, waited a few seconds, plugged in the AC cord, depressed the power button and I am back at the under three seconds of "power-up" and then nothing, dead, no beep, nothing. I think maybe it is a waste of time trying to mess with this unit, looking for a newer iMac on eBay, the snowball series with the 17" LCD, might be time better spent. Hate throwing stuff away, that's why I am up to my ears in junk, maybe u know that scenario. The wife likes my 19" ACER LCD screen, hooked up to this old dual 800mhz, though she dislikes the noise and the tower. But we both agree the large LCD screen is much easier on our aging eyes than the old iMac CRT. Anyway, I appreciate your help, always GREAT to correspond with an Apple fan.....John Bauer
