  • Can I retrieve data from crashed hard drive on MacBook Pro?

    Any help appreciated

    First, get yourself an External Enclosure and a new drive that can be used eventually to place inside your MacBook.
    Install Mac OS X on the new External and Boot from it. Now your Mac is operating again.
    Later, you can swap the new drive with the old drive and get back your portability.
    Mac OS X has over 250,000 files in it. Booting is very complex. Just reading a few files off your old drive may be relatively easy -- or may be completely impossible.
    If you have a spare drive, programs like DataRescue may be able to grab a few files off it -- or maybe not.

    How do I remove Apple Mail from my hard drive? Over 10,000 downloaded into my mail and continues to freeze up---  I just want to use my gmail account directly

    I go to Gmail to do my email yes, in my browser, but ya know how sometimes you click on a website to email someone and it pulls up apple mail, and then tons of email dump into apple mail and it frequently causes my computer to lock up and have to shut down w/escape.  I thought it would be  better to take it off if I could

  • Recovering data from "crashed" hard drive - white macbook

    I have a 13" white macbook (my daughter's macbook). It looks like the hard drive crashed. She took it to Apple store they told her they can replace the hard drive (still under Apple care), but I am trying to get the data from the hard drive.
    I pulled the hard drive out of the macbook, and put it in a external hard drive enclosure, with USB2 connector. Unfortunately I have to connect the USB to a Windows PC, since that's what I have (she took my PowerBook for school work). The wondows machine does not recognize the hard drive. I tried to connect to a Vista machine and an XP machine same problem.
    Do I have to connect it to a Mac to be able to recognize this hard drive? I thought as long as I put it in a external disk enclosure I will be able to recognize it even with Windows machine.
    I would appreciate any help.
    p.s. I do hear (faint) clicking noise from the hard drive - both when it is in the macbook and when it is in the external enclosure.
    Thanks.

    The enclosure is format "agnostic". A drive could conceivably be formatted in several different Apple formats; HFS+ (aka Mac OS Extended) is likely what you have. There's Windows based FAT32 or NTFS.
    Windows doesn't properly recognize Mac drive formats unless you add software. There are a couple of commercial tools that might work.

  • Recovering aperture files from crashed hard drive?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to recover Aperture photos which weren't backed up externally (I know) from the hard drive of my MBP in an external mount, I can navigate to the library but cannot find files to backup the master images.  Do I need to just copy the library or do I need to look somewhere else.  I cannot search using aperture as that isn't installed on the computer I'm using.  Would be grateful for any thoughts!
    Cheers

    Hello,
    if you want to recover data from a drive after it crashed, don't do  anything to that drive that writes data to it. You might try recovery software like Disk Drill to access files, see e.g. this post: https://discussions.apple.com/message/16641843#16641843
    But I do not understand from you post, how your Aperture library is organized, please explain a little bit more:
    Do you have a managed or a referenced library?
    Did the system drive of your MBP crash or an external drive, and which parts of your Aperture Library and master files were on the drive that crashed?
    If you library is managed, then all your master image files should be contained inside the Aperture library package. This package can be copied using the Finder by dragging it to a new location. If you want to reassure yourself, that it contains all your master image files, ctrl-click the package and select "Show Package Contents" from the pop-up menu. You should see a folder "Masters" inside, and their you should find all the master image files, grouped by year and month.
    Regards

  • Retrieving photos from my hard drive to my computer desktop after crash

    My computer crashed and I've been able to put back most of my programs because of having an external hard drive.  How do I get my Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 program with photos back?
    Help!
    Thanks.
    Edna

    Thanks for your reply.  I already had an external hard drive when my computer crashed so everything was backed up.  How do I get my photos off of there and back onto my computer?  Also, how do I re-install my Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 program back onto my computer.
    How did you make the backups? DId you use the PSE Organizer command File->Backup Catalog? Or did you make the backups outside of PSE?
    To reinstall PSE, you would insert the PSE6 CD; or if you downloaded PSE and registered with Adobe, you can go to their site and download PSE6 again and run it from that file.

  • Cannot retrieve photos from external hard drive

    I had to upgrade my OS so that i could download the newest version of adobe photoshop.  this upgrade also upgraded my iPhoto and erasing all photos.  I do have photos backed up on external hard drive but cannot retrieve photos from the external hard drive.

    this upgrade also upgraded my iPhoto and erasing all photos.
    No update to the OS upgrade iPhoto too. So something else is going on there.
    There are 9 different versions of iPhoto and they run on 10 different versions of the Operating System. The tricks and tips for dealing with issues vary depending on the version of iPhoto and the version of the OS. So to get help you need to give as much information as you can. Include things like:
    - What version of iPhoto.
    - What version of the Operating System.
    - Details. As full a description of the problem as you can. For example, if you have a problem with exporting, then explain by describing how you are trying to export, and so on.
    - History: Is this going on long? Has anything been installed or deleted? - Are there error messages?
    - What steps have you tried already to solve the issue.
    - Anything unusual about your set up? Or how you use iPhoto?
    Anything else you can think of that might help someone understand the problem you have.

  • Transferring data from crashed hard drive to new?

    My trusty 6 year old mac book crashed.  Took it to apple, they couldn't recover.   Purchased new 15 mac book pro with 1TB. drive.   Removed my HD from the old mac book and trying to transfer files via sata cable to USB directly to my new mac.   Been successful with lots of files.  Problem is, new mac shows old file icons from Applications,  library, users, etc. but not contents.  I tried copying entire hard drive... Wont work. Then went into users, from my main folder with most of my saved stuff.  The largest two folders I want to recover is the Documents folder and the Images folder.   I cant open and see the files inside because for over 24 hours now it has been showing "Preparing to copy files".   When I went to the images folder after about 6 hours it went from preparing, to copying with estimated time of 6 days to complete.    Is there a better way to do this?    If I could see the contents in the folders, I could simply just transfer the main Items needed?   Any help is appreciated!

    I have not tried a recovery program or repairing the HD.  I thought Apple tried to repair at the Genius bar when I brought it there.  They said I should contact a recover company that may cost thousands of dollars because they wont do recovery.     "So far I have copied a ton of files form smaller folders that didn't have so much data".    The problem is that the main documents file is so large, that when you click into the folder, you can't see which files to copy... Kind of like its buffering?  So I clicked on copy entire folder and it been preparing to copy.. so far up to 6,162 files... It has been doing this for over 24 hours.  When I copied the smaller folders, it would say the same thing until it read everything in the folder, then copied them just fine. On some files it transferred in a few hours because there were only a few gigs of data. 
    Maybe a data recover program would help buffer and read the files faster so I could simply choose the files I want... the copy?

  • Help moving mail from old hard drive to new installaion...

    I need to import all my mail from my original hard drive (in the second bay) to my new installation of Tiger on a new drive. I've got the new setup of Mail working fine. Can anyone point me to the steps required to safely import my original mail? Both systems are on Tiger but unfortunately the admin usernames are not the same. If possible, I would like to keep what mail is currently in the new installation as well. And I would like to only import one of the accounts if possible.
    Hoping someone knows a good FAQ on manual replacement from an original drive or copy/past backup.
    Is there a more appropriate forum for this question?

    So why don't you just use the Mail import command and choose OSX mail then point the importer to where your mailboxes are to import.

  • How to retrieve files from old hard drive?

    Okay, so here is the deal. I have an iMac 27 inch with one of those faulty hard drives which needs replacing. The problem is that the hard drive is in such a bad state that I can no longer boot up with it.
    I have bought myself a external hard drive to retrieve some of my data from the faulty hard drive. I have installed Snow Leopard on it and I'm able to see the contents of the built-in faulty drive. However, some of the folders like my old user desktop and documents folder is "private", hence I'm not able to access the contents. What is the best way to retrieve my old data so I can access them? Is there some workaround that let me bypass the security?

    While booted from the external drive, select the icon of the old boot volume, open the Finder Info window, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, and check the box marked Ignore ownership on this volume.

  • How do I retrieve files from faulty Hard Drive?

    My Hard Drive failed and on advice I bought a new External Hard Drive and installed OSX 10.5.1 from there.
    However, my faulty Macintosh HD still shows up on my Desktop and I can open it and see files there named Applications, Library, System, Users, System Folder, User Guides and Information, Home, Lost + Found, Net.
    However, when I open, for instance, Applications, in there I can find my copy of CorelDraw which was installed on my Macintosh HD but which is not installed on my External HD, and I can open and operate CorelDraw from there, but my previously written documents are not in there.
    The same applies to my copy of MS Office for Mac 2008 - I can open and operate the program from my Macintosh HD but my previously written documents are not there.
    Can I retrieve my old work from my Macintosh HD and how do I attempt that?
    I don't want to pay anyone to do it but I would like to try and do it myself.

    None of my previous work is visible in Documents or anywhere else - the cupboard is bare - just as if I had never done anything.
    Yet both CorelDraw and MS Office for Mac 2008 both work just fine when I access them from the faulty macintosh HD.
    My documents are probably there somewhere but I don't know where to look for them.
    Also, is there any way of retrieving my old web page bookmarks somehow?

  • Retrieve Data from Failing Hard Drive of iBook G4

    I have a iBook G4 which crashed. The message on Disk Utility says *"S.M.A.R.T. Status - Failing"*.
    My question is, how can I retrieve data that I hadn't gotten a chance to back up?

    DD:
    I think the drive should be fine. Here is a list of Seagate HDDs for your computer. If you see the drive you are looking at there, go for it, although I suggest you consider a larger HDD. The price difference is not that much.
    If you plan to install this HDD yourself, you should know that it is a bit of a challenge, although very doable. The iBook is the most difficult Apple laptop in which to swap out a drive. You will find step by step directions at ifixit. Sorry, I don't know whether yours is the 12" or 14", so you can navigate to the correct directions for your computer.
    Here are few tips you may find helpful:
    • Print out the ifixit directions as well as the screw guide ahead of time.
    • Be sure you have the right tools. You don't want to damage the screw heads or you may never get them out. And the Torx 8 screw driver is critical.
    • I use small medicine cups one for the screws in each step. I nest them so that the last ones out and the first to go back in are on top. You can use an ice cube tray, egg carton, dixie cups etc. (Some users report cutting up the screw guide and placing the applicable section in each container.)
    • Be very careful pulling out leads. Hold the lead as close to the plug as possible and wiggle (the plug ) to loosen its grip. Don’t hold the wires and pull as that can damage the cable, or worse, in some instances pull the wires out of the plug. Indeed, some users have pulled the socket off the logic board! Use needle nose pliers or tweezers if you can access the plug, or nudge the plug with a small instrument to help loosen its grip.
    • Use force gently in removing parts. Separating upper and lower case takes some doing. Use a plastic tool (spudge) so as not to leave marks.
    • Refer to the screw guide when reassembling computer. Putting longer screws in the wrong place can perforate the circuit board.
    Please don't hesitate to post back with more questions.
    Good luck.
