Restore invisible files from CD

Im not so sure to place topic here, but suppose to find answer of the problem.
Here is a dvd disc with audio files, but after burning on pc, they are unseen on Mac and pc computers both. Look at Google and find a software
CDR Diagnostic/pc,
that can see and restore the files, but it is for win only. My question is:
Wich program for Mac can restore invisible files from CD? I need equivalent to CDR Diagnostic for mac. Will aprecciate any help, thanks.

Windows machines can read Windows files, most of the time. As far as Windows is concerned, the Mac does not exist. They make no accommodation for its unique file formats, and it is not unusual for Windows to "loose" portions of Mac files and entire Mac files.
I expect that if you could read the CDR perfectly, you would find that your files never made it to the CDR.
The solution is to make it possible for the Mac to burn those CDs. The Mac can make a CD that reads just fine in a PC, and the Blue & White G3 can be upgraded to do it.

  • HT201250 Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  I'm trying to restore lost photo files and I see them listed in Time Machine (without use of an external drive), but when I try to restore I get a error code 36.

    Can I restore photo files from Time Machine without the use of an external drive?  While I was transferring photos back and forth from a thumb drive something went haywire and my IPhoto was wiped clean!  When I click on Time Machine I see all the dated pages (without an external storage drive connected), go back to a date where all my photo files are there, click "restore", and I get the message:  "The Finder can't complete the operation because some data in file cant be read or written (error code - 36)"

    Thanks so much Terence.  I tried some of the fixes from that page, but then discovered the suggestion to compress the Time Machine Back up of the original library and transfer it as a zip back to my computer as detailed here:

    That worked like a charm.  I really appreciate it. 

  • How can I restore iCloud files from my lost iPhone

    I backed up my files to icloud. But I lost my Iphone last week. How can I restore my files from icloud to my macbook ?

    Are you using Photostream?  If yes, then you will be able to see your 1000 most recent photos on your Mac in iPhoto.
    All your contacts, calendar events, emails, etc. will still be on your Mac as part of iCloud.
    If you didn't import your videos from your iPhone to your Mac, then you've lost them unless you can restore your cloud backup to another iOS device.

  • HELP! How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?

    Hi,
    I am having a few problems with bootcamp on my imac. When i tried to move the bootcamp partition on windows 7 into free space, it crashed and turned off. Ever since i have had the error 'Missing operating system' and it fails to boot. I have some very important files on the bootcamp partition. Is it possible to recover these files or even to restore the bootcamp partition to it's original state? I do not have a backup of my bootcamp partition. Another problem i have is that ever since i tried to expand my macintosh HD partition into free space, when i hold alt while booting up (to choose which partition to boot like i normally do), the bootcamp partition has stopped appearing. This means that i cannot even boot the windows 7 bootcamp partition anymore!
    So basically here are my 2 questions:
    How can i restore/recover files from Bootcamp with Boot Failure - Missing operating system error?
    How can i make the Bootcamp partition appear in Startup Disk and when i hold the option key while starting up my computer to allow me to boot windows 7?
    Any solutions are very much apreciated!
    Thanks!
    I know that bootcamp (disk0s4) hasn't been fully deleted since it appears in disk utility (i cant do anything to it though)
    And here is the error i see when i try to launch bootcamp (back when i was actually able to boot up bootcamp to the error screen)

    WinClone 3 is OS X and saves Windows image it makes for restore - that should work but you will have to try and you would need to make a new image unless it also works with a native Windows system restore image. It is now supported and has come a long way.
    http://www.twocanoes.com/
    Paragon Clone OS works and does disk-to-disk clone just like CCC you end up with two bootable drives. But does not work with your setup. It would let you clone and move your Windows install to an SSD or another disk drive though and be bootable.
    During its clone process it checks for errors which is very helpful and lets you know - something CCC and others should adopt more of.

    I wish for our/my sake you had re-read and rewritten the long 'story' and broken it into a brief list of facts we needed.
    OS X
    Windows
    Backup (though external is much safer) and you want bootable OS X clones as well as TimeMachine

    https://support.apple.com/kb/HT1553
    There are a number of things to do like chkdsk and others as well as Windows DVD to do automatic system repairs and find out why.
    AppleHFS - the abilty to mount and read HFS volumes can be notorious.
    I would rearrange and redo your storage setup and how you use the 4-5 internal hard drive bays.

  • My hard drive failed. I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive. I have my bookmarks saved but am not able to import them into Firefox as the only option is to import them from another browser. Any suggestions?

    -My hard drive failed.
    -I was able to restore my files from an external hard drive.
    -My bookmarks are saved to a folder on my new hard drive.
    -I am not able to import them from this folder on my hard drive into Firefox.
    - the only option Firefox offers for importing bookmarks is to import them from another browser...is there another way?

    In Firefox the bookmarks are saved in a database file called places.sqlite in the profile folder. If you have got this file from the external hard drive you can restore the bookmarks by copying this file to your current profile folder. For details of the location of the profile folder see either https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox

  • Device dead, need to restore backup files from Palm 515 desktop software to Centro desktop software. Can it be done??

    Ok, here's the story:  My palm515 died about a year ago and since then I've been operating exclusively from my desktop software, until I recently bought a Palm Centro.  Instructions said to hotsync to device, install new Centro Software, then hotsync back from device onto the desktop program.  Problem is, I don't have a device to hotsync to because it's dead!  I have backups of desktop, so I tried installing Centro Software per instructions.  Centro Software said that it couldn't overwrite the old program, that I would manually have to uninstall it.  Ok.  But when I tried to go back into my old desktop software, it wouldn't even execute, like the Centro software had already begun to delete it.  So I reinstalled the old 515 software thinking I wanted to at least do another triple-dog-check backup to two different locations, maybe even print stuff out in case it woudn't restore to the new software.  Worst case scenario I have to type everything back in but at least I still have it.  But now i can't figure out how to restore backup files to the 515 software!  It keeps looking for .ada files but the backup files are .bak and it won't recognize them.  How the heck do you restore a backup on this thing!  OR, can I just install the new Centro software and restore the files from there.
    Somebody PLEASE tell me how this can be done.  My entire life, my business, all my clients, my appointments, my phone numbers, addresses, my records for my taxes, EVERYTHING is in there!
    thanks,
    meg

    Assuming you are not running Vista, and that you have copied the User folder with the .dat and .bak files to a safe location outside the Palm folder, completely uninstall the Access Desktop that came with your Centro and download and install 4.1.4e from Palm's download page.
    If you can get the m515 data in there by copying the User folder or Importing Data and sync the Centro you should be fine. Once it all appears where it should (Desktop and Centro) you can delete the User folder copy you copied for the process.

    how to restore data file from back up on iPhone 5 docs to go

    If it backed up the lock file, then Lightroom was open when Time Machine ran, and the backup therefore may be corrupted.  You could try restoring that backup (without overwriting your week ago version) and see if it'll open.  If it does, you're off and running.  What methods have you tried?

  • Restoring Control file from snapshot

    Hi,
    As in RMAN the following configuration will create snapshot of control file.
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO 'product/10.2.0/dbs/snapcf_PROD.f'; # default
    My question is how to restore control file from this snapshot to another location.
    Regards
    Krishna

    Copy RMAN backup files including archive log backup files to the target server
    Copy the SNAPSHOT CONTROL FILE or backed up control file from source server to target server.
    Source Server:
    RMAN> connect target /;
    connected to target database: HRDMO (DBID=209403493034)
    RMAN> show SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME;
    using target database control file instead of recovery catalog
    RMAN configuration parameters are:
    CONFIGURE SNAPSHOT CONTROLFILE NAME TO '/opt/oracle/10g/dbs/snapcf_HRDMO.f'; # default
    Target Server:
    Export ORACLE_SID=HRDMO
    RMAN

    You have the copy of instance in the target server.

  • How do I upgrade to snow leopard and then restore my files from my time machine HDD backup...without losing any data or reinstalling leopard (10.5)?

    How do I upgrade to snow leopard (from leopard 10.5) and then restore my files from my time machine HDD backup...without losing any data or reinstalling leopard (10.5)?

    Hello, it's great you have a backup, but 10.6 should just Install 10.6 system files over the top of 10.5 system files, & leave all your data intact on the drive.

  • Can not restore data files from backup set

    I am trying to restore Server A's backup data to Server B (they are all oracle11g) using rman. The restore commands is below:
    rman target /;
    shutdown immediate;
    startup nomount;
    restore controlfile from '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/ctl_xxx'
    alter database mount;
    catalog start with '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/';
    restore database;
    recover database;
    alter database open resetlogs;
    For the first time, it works. But when i tried to restore another backup data by the same way:
    rman target /;
    shutdown immediate;
    startup nomount;
    restore controlfile from '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/ctl_xxx'
    alter database mount;
    catalog start with '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/';
    restore database;
    recover database;
    alter database open resetlogs;
    The second time, i found that rman restore the old backup data, which means that it restore the data file under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100418/' instead of '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/'.
    So I run 'list backup of database summary' to see the backup set lists in control file.

    945 B 0 A DISK 25-APR-10 1 1 NO TAG20100425T020007
    But when i run ‘restore database preview summary’ to see the backup set list to restore

    910 B 0 A DISK 18-APR-10 1 1 NO TAG20100418T020007
    there's no backup set 945 at all. that's why i could not restore data file under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/' at the second time.
    So, why two backup list is different ? how can i restore datafile under '/usr/local/oracle/backup/20100425/' ?
    My backup script is below:
    run{
    allocate channel c1 type disk;
    backup incremental level 0 as backupset format '$DIR/`date +%Y%m%d`/data_%d_c0_%T_%u' database;
    sql 'alter system archive log current';
    backup archivelog from time 'sysdate-14' format '$DIR/`date +%Y%m%d`/log_%d_%T_%u';
    backup current controlfile format '$DIR/`date +%Y%m%d`/ctl_%d_%T_%I_%u';
    release channel c1;

  • HT4859 I have just restored and updated my ipad 2 with the new iOS 6 software resulting in me losing all apps and items i had saved wen i had the  version 5 software. How do i restore my files from icloud if its possible

    How do i restore my files back onto my ipad 2 from icloud. I lost all things while updating to iOS 6 software. I can see that all the items are there on my icloud but i cant see the restoring option

    Hi Taunda
    When you went through the iOS 6 set up - did you see the option to restore?
    When you go through Setup Assistant on a new iOS 5 device, choose "Restore from iCloud Backup" and enter your iCloud account and password. You will see the three most recent backups for each of the devices on which you enabled Backup. Choose which backup to restore from.
    After your device restarts, your settings and accounts are restored and Backup starts downloading your purchased music, movies, TV shows, apps, books, Camera Roll, and other content.
    Note: You may be prompted to enter the passwords for all accounts enabled on your device. You may also be prompted to enter the password for for any iTunes, iBookstore and App Store accounts for which iCloud Backup is attempting to restore content.
    A progress bar will appear underneath the apps that are being downloaded. To prioritize the restore of a specific app, tap its icon. Restore will attempt to download the same version of the app that you had installed previously. If that version is no longer available, the latest version of the app will be restored.
