SoundTrak Crashed!! How I got my data back.

If you get the beachball during a record, by what could be the screen saver kicking in or the disk drive going to sleep (all of which should be disabled to start with), then you might get a file which shows size and a good time of creation, but it won't play or show a waveform. In fact even Audacity won't touch it.  Here's how to recover the data. Hopefully you know your settings you were using, aka 48khz, 44.1 etc.  For the sake of this post, I used 24bit 44.1khz AIFF sample rescue information.  Bear with me.
First locate your bad file in the soundtrak pro recordings folder. Duplicate it. Note its size. Take the copy and get it to the desktop. Do not muck with the original.
Download the 0xED (thats the name) hex editing app.  You can also have a dupe file of a working file from an earlier session. Your going to want to copy it as well and put it on your desktop. You'll need the header info from it.
Open your known good file wih 0xED. Highlight and copy from the beginning of that file address 0000000 thru 0000FF7 with a contrl C on the keyboard.
Open your bad file copy. They can both be opened at the same time.  Highlight those same addresses and contrl V that data into your bad file.  Pay close attention thats all you changed. Nothing should have shifted anywhere else. If you screwed up, cntrl Z out of that and try it again until it looks like a clean paste. Yes the data is going to be different in your paste operation as thats why your file is hosed to begin with. Hopefully you just now patched your file.  SAVE the potential repaired file using the save icon in 0xED. Open our repaired file
with Audacity, or SoundTrak Pro. You should have a workable file now.  If not, go back and try again as perhaps you messed something up or didnt save the repair properly.  Its crucial you use data from a good file of the same settings to fix the bad one. If your not sure of the settings you used, try a couple possibilities. Most people use the same settings with only a few variations so your choices should be few hopefully. NOTE: To test your file, close out all instances of the bad file in Sountrak Pro or your new file won't chck out if it is indeed fixed. DO a fresh load of your new file into a freshly started Sountrak Pro or Audacity.
What else have I used? I used SoundHack a few times. Its a bit strange and clunky. The results are hard to nail down. I ended up with a file that played like MickeyMouse but I was able to use Audacity to cut the speed down by 50% and save the audio.
The problems I encountered to get me to this point were as described in the beginning of this write up. I had the beachball. One time Sountrak just quit without warning. Again, the data was there but just wasnt closed out properly.
I hope this saves someone from a disaster. It saved me. I never gave up.
cheers

P.S.  Here's the data for an AIFF 44.1k 24 bit good file if it can be of use. You'd want to place it right over your bad file in 0xED. No guarantees. Make sure your muckng with a copy and NOT your original file...... (yes thats 4C twice, thats not a misprint)

if you did not do a back up of your phone and memory card there is no way to get back the information. you can't roll back anything the memory or firmware once done is done for good. sorry i know this is not good news

  • Hard drive crashed - how to import my data back to itunes?

    my hard drive crashed.
    I reload windows, install itunes,
    but when i connect iphone it wants to delete everything off it.
    oddly enough it imported the photos. why cant it jsut import everything?
    the reason why i dont want to wipe it and start over is because I have dozens of addresses stored in Tomtom.
    if i tell to setup new device it will delete all apps including the saved data in those apps
    so i'm wondering how can I get round this problem?
    i have all my apps saved on  a second drive.
    why cant itunes just recognize this is your phone and let all app data remain on it and resync? why does it have to delete everything even after i verify my account?

    You should be able to:
    Backup the device to the new installation
    Transfer your purchases into a newly authorized library
    Recover any other media using third party tools as suggested in this post from forum regular Zevoneer
    Restore the device from the backup
    This process should switch the association of the device to the new library, preserving the data and settings in your apps.
    May also be prudent to attempt a backup to iCloud directly from the device before you start... Settings > iCloud > Storage & Backup > iCloud Backup > On. It won't save any media but it would preserve the general account settings and documents in case anything goes wrong while you are trying to extract your other data.
    When you get it all fixed, make a backup!

  • How do I get data back on my Numbers created inventory that was supposedly removed by spotlight?

    How do I get data back on my Numbers created inventory that was removed by Spotlight recently?  It seems to have happened after upgrading.

    Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately when I click on "revert to" it shows no document.  It's very strange that the rest of my old inventories on numbers remain.  It is only my 2014 entries that went into a black hole somewhere.  When I click on my inventory pages it says: "OS X spotlight search information was removed."  It seems to have occurred after I recently updated Numbers.  I never did anything to have it removed and never got any kind of warning to my knowledge that it was about to be removed.  Very frustrating!

  • I lost my Iphone and I stored my photos on icloud, how to get those data back? My PC also not working.

    I lost my Iphone and I stored my photos on icloud, how to get those data back? My PC also not working.

    Welcome to the Apple Community Rahul.
    Photos in photo stream...
    You can log into your iCloud account on another computer or device and enable photo stream to see your photos. You should do this as soon as possible because photo stream in the cloud only keeps photos for 30 days and each day you delay, you will lose another days photos.
    Photos in the camera roll...
    If you kept a back up of your device you can use it to restore to a replacement device, this will restore all of the photos in your camera roll and isn't time limited.

  • Archive and Install: How to get my data back?

    I did an archive/install to resolve a "computer not going to sleep" issue. It did resolve the issue but now I want my data back. I see it is all probably in the folder titled: Previous Systems. How do i get things into this new install (such as my addresses, photo's, calendar, email boxes etc.)? Thanks in advance...Karen

    You should copy and put things in selectively. You know how file systems work, yes? There is a home folder, and in this folder there will be a documents folder, a library folder, a photos folder, etc. I would suggest you open these folders in your previous system, find the files you want, and thene copy and paste them into the new Leopard home folder.
    Think of it like moving into a new apartment. Sure, you might have a little more space, but do you really need to take that fishing tackle set you got at work from your secret Santa? Do you ever fish? No! And you sure as heck don't want to take the heater with you . . . it might not even work in the new place, and how would you hook it up? (the heater is a metaphor for the system files like those in "library")
    Also, when you get to the new place (the new Leopard system) you want to make sure everything is in it's right place. A good way to do that is to look and see where it was stored at the old place (galoshes are right by the door, next to the coat rack - same thing in the new place).
    Okay, I think I'm going overboard with the metaphor.
    Do you dig?

  • Lost my appleworks in a crash. how do I get it back?

    My hard drive crashed earlier this year and when the new hard drive was installed, I didnt end up with appleworks and garageband (and probably other things that I haven't missed yet). How do I get them back? Is it on the install disk that came with my computer. And if it is, will I lose what I have on my computer now if I do a reinstall? (I'm techno-idiot!)
    Thanks for your help!

    What Niel said, with a bit more detail.
    Insert your (first) install disk.
    Run Install Bundled software.
    Deselect all software you do not wish to install.
    AppleWorks will probably be listed as "AppleWorks Languages" witha disclosure triangle beside it. Click the triangle to show the list of AppleWorks language versions, then click the checkbox beside the version(s) you want to install.
    Follow the prompts to complete the installation.
    After installing, you should do a couple of maintenance tasks:
    Clear the Recent Items folder (if there is one) at Mac HD > Users > yourname > Documents > AppleWorks User Data > Starting Points > Recent Items.
    Delete the AppleWorks preferences and cache files at Mac HD > Users > yourname > Library > Preferences...
    Delete the file com.apple.appleworks.plist.
    Open the folder AppleWorks at this location and delete both Preferences files and both Cache files that it contains.
    Launch Disk Utility, found in Applications > Utilities, choose Disk First Aid, choose your startup volume (Mac HD), then Repair Permissions.

  • Lost some apps after syncing/restoring, how to get lost data back?

    I updated the firmware of my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1 yesterday. After the update, I noticed that I have lost all of my contacts on the phone, so I plugged it back in to the computer and went with "Restore from backup", which was dated just a few hours prior to updating the firmware.
    After it finished restoring, my contacts were all back but half of my apps are missing. I tried redownloading from the App Store as well as syncing from the computer, but the data (game saves, etc) are still missing. How do I get them back?

    It's still listed there, dated around 5 hours before I updated. I right-clicked on my iPhone and chose "Restore from backup" and they still weren't there.
    Most of the apps that I lost were downloaded within the last 6 months, but the apps that remained contained data that are up to date (to just before the update).
    In other words, half of my apps are up to date while the rest are completely missing their data.

  • Computer Crashed,how do I get music back into itunes w/o erasing Ipod?

    My computer crashed, and I had to get a new hard drive. I was able to save all of my music on cd, and it is all still currently on my Ipod. I have downloaded Itunes again, but how do I upload all the music on my ipod into Itunes without it automatically erasing my Ipod when I plug it in? Am I able to save my play lists when I reload my music to Itunes?
    Dell PC   Windows XP  

    If you are using the iPod in manual update mode it is safe from being accidentally erased when you connect to an empty iTunes after reinstalling your operating system. However if your iPod is set to automatically update you will get a message that your iPod is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press *No*. Pressing "Yes" will irretrievably remove all songs from your iPod. Your iPod should appear in the iTunes source list from where you can change the update setting to manual.
    You can use a keyboard command to prevent your iPod auto-syncing with iTunes. While connecting the iPod to the computer on Windows hold down the Shift + Ctrl keys (on a Mac hold down the Option and Command (⌥ and ⌘) keys). This will stop the iPod from auto-syncing with iTunes and the iPod will appear in the source list. Wait until you are sure the iPod has mounted, and that it will not auto sync and then you can let the keys go. This may take between 20 to 30 seconds depending on your computer. Then go to Preferences>iPod and check the "Manually manage songs and playlists" box: Managing Your Songs Manually
    While you can't sync your music back from an iPod to iTunes, if you want to check this out, there is a manual method of accessing the iPod's hard drive and copying songs back to iTunes on Windows posted in this thread: MacMuse - iPod to iTunes
    If you prefer something more automated then there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the files from an iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward and will copy songs and playlists.
    iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
    YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
    PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
    iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
    PodPlayer Windows Only
    iGadget Windows Only
    Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync again.

  • How can I get data back that is in the trash?

    I don't seem to be able to retreive clips or other data that end up in the trash. When I click on the trash icon contained in the app I am only given the option of Cancel or Empty. Is that it? Once the data is in there it's gone? Thanks.

    iMovie 4 trash is a sort of virtual trash in that there isn't really a location where things are put (like your system trash) but instead a representation of how much stuff you cut out of your project. If you click empty (and never due that in iMovie 4 as there is a bug that sometimes trashes your project) what happens is iMovie rewrites all the media files to get rid of the stuff you clipped or deleted.
    So there are ways to get your stuff back. One way is to select any clip and pick the restore option which will reset the clip back to the way it was before you made cuts. The downside of this is that you lose all your edits on that clip and have to redo them over if the one you wanted to undo is several edits back.
    You might try this instead. Assuming your clips are all off the clip shelf and now down on the timeline, grab all the clips on the timeline, hold down the OPTION key and then drag them all back to the Clip Pane. As you drag up there while holding the OPTION key, you should see a green circle with a ( + ) in it. This means you are making a COPY to the shelf, not moving them. Drop them on the clip shelf. Now select clips on the shelf and do a restore on them from that location. I think this will let you restore the clips to their original size on the shelf while the ones on the timeline will remain untouched. Hopefully you will find what you lost.
    In the future, the best way to edit in iM4 to avoid this sort of thing is to import all your clips normally onto the clip shelf on the upper right side. Now rather than dragging them down to the timeline (removing them from the clip shelf) and editing them, OPTION drag them to the timeline which will make a copy to the timeline rather than a move. Don't worry about drive space. When you make copies, they are not real copies (the media files are not duplicated) but instead just additional virtual copies, so you can make as many as you want with very little impact on drive space.
    Now you can edit to your heart's content on the timeline and if you ever make a mistake or need to get back a piece of clip you deleted, the full copy remains safe and unedited up and over on the clip shelf. You can always drag down additional copies if you need to get back footage or if you want to use the same footage more than once.
