Restoring iDVD files

I created a DVD, using iMovie and iDVD, ending up with 6 movies in the iDVD menu window. Then, I moved those files (images, iMovie events and projects) from my iMac hard drive to an external drive. Now when I open the DVD project, I'm told (of course) that "the following files could not be found" and 12 missing files (audio and video for each movie) are listed in a window. The window gives me the option to "find file." That's more than iMovie does, by the way.
So I select the first file, and bingo! it's restored---but populates all 6 windows in the iDVD menu. I figure I can select all 12 files from the "missing files" window by using the control, shift, option or option keys, but nope, only one. And, once I have restored that one file, I cannot get the "missing files" window to reappear when I close/reopen the DVD, so I can select another.
My question is: how do I restore ALL those missing files? Thanks, John Nall
So my question is: how can I use the "missing

For anyone with this problem, I found my answer at http://www.peachpit.com/articles/article.aspx?p=1374783&seqNum=5
Some comments, though, on the solution: the Project Asset box will not update a missing asset symbol from a zero with a slash to a check mark--you have to double-click on the item to see if the Missing Files window opens again. If it doesn't, then you've restored the file. Also, although the Asset box might show that audio files are missing too, mine were restored when the videos were restored. Finally, if the movies themselves were populating the iDVD menu screen, they will still show a broken chain image until you save and re-open your iDVD movie.

  • Re: Restoring deleted files/restoring originals

    Hi! I was wondering if anyone could help me with restoring deleted files. I think I have someway or another managed to delete my original photos from iPhoto. Is there any way that I am able to restore these deleted files? If I haven't deleted them (who knows!) how do I restore my files to the original, as a lot of my photos in iPhoto are not opening. Also, I have 'lost' an iDVD project that I know that I have not deleted, but I cannot seem to find it anywhere.
    Thanks, Fiona

    Hi fiona,
    what did you do that you think you might have deleted photos?
    Did you rename any photos in the iPhoto Library folder in the Finder?
    navigate to Pictures/iPhoto Library and go through the Year/Month/day folders and see if your photos are there. Take a look at the screenshot so you know where to look.
    This is a view of how the iPhoto Library looks in the Finder.
    It is organized by Year folders. Inside the Year folders are Month folders. Inside the Month folders are the days of the Month. Inside the day folders are the photos you took on that day. If you imported video clips and RAW files on that day they will be in an Originals folder. If you have edited any photo imported on that day, the original will be in that folder also.

  • 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.

    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';

    How do I view my Photo Stream?
    On your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch, your photos will appear in the Photos app. If you're using iOS 6 or later, you can find your photos by tapping the Photo Stream tab and then tapping the My Photo Stream album. In iOS 5, your photos are in the Photo Stream album.
    On your Mac, they appear in the Photo Stream view in iPhoto or Aperture. In iPhoto 9.4 or later or in Aperture 3.4 or later, open the My Photo Stream album in the Photo Stream view.
    On a PC, your photos download to the My Photo Stream (Download) folder. By default, this folder is located at C:\Users\\Pictures\Photo Stream\My Photo Stream. You can change this location by visiting Photo Stream Options in the iCloud Control Panel for Windows.
    On Apple TV, your photos will appear in the Photo Stream (or My Photo Stream) view under Internet in the main Apple TV menu after you sign in with your iCloud account.

  • 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:

  • How do I restore individual files/folders from Time Machine to a PC?

    My Mac of six years have crashed and been sent to the apple hospital for surgery, but I had time machine backing up all my files. Yah! Now with the help of 'macdrive' I can see the files on my windows computer, but when I tried to restore any individual files or folders to the pc, nothing.
    I would click on the files from my external drive and a box comes up for 'where do you want to copy selected files?'. Right-clicking only provide the 'copy', 'copy to', and 'create a shortup' options. Whichever options I try, no copies/restored files is created.

    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.

  • 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.

    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.

    how do i restore missing files for i work 09 as it is asking me to reinstall but cant find the disk?

    Hello Jessica472,
    It sounds like you need to recover some missing files but do not have access to the iWork '09 disc you used to install it. If you have a Time Machine backup and know what files you need, you can use the "Restoring specific files or folders" section of the following article to restore them:
    Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
    If you do not have Time Machine, you will need the disc to reinstall the software suite.

  • HT201250 I just had a new hard drive installed in my iMac.  Migration manager cannot see my external Time Machine hard drive to restore the files and applications.  The drive is operational in Finder

    I cannot seem to migrate the full time machine backup from an external hard drive back to the new hard drive.  Finder sees the drive and files.  When I use Migration managers, it only sees the computer hard drive after I select the time machine option to restore the files.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    With what OS X version did you make the backup? If it was the same as the version you are using now, you don't have to use Migration Assistant to restore the backup. Instead, there's a safer and better method, but you will lose all the changes you have made since the last time you made the backup.
    Just hold Command and R keys while your Mac is starting to start into OS X Recovery. Then, select the option to restore a Time Machine backup, and follow its steps. Also, you will be able to select the backup you want to restore
