Target Disc Mode and only showing the windows partition:

Hi, two weeks ago I purchased Aperture 2 for my MacBook Pro, and during the install, it stated that the install had failed and then froze. I did a hard-shutdown, and when I attempted to boot it back up, it kept trying to boot in Windows-- (It is running Bootcamp Beta/ it's a first generation MBP.) Windows wouldn't even boot up. Repair disc failed, as did numerous other courses of action. Apple advised me of TDM and we verified holding "T" that it would boot up in such. I then decided it was time to acquire a new desktop, which is how I get the Mac Pro. So I'm desperately trying to salvage the data from my MBP, but when booting up in TDM, only the Windows partition appears in Finder...any ideas? It's like the Mac partition has disappeared, as it only appears in the disc profiler thingy that you may access with the OS X disc in the optical drive.
Thanks in advance.

Try using Disk Warrior.
Pull the drive and put it in FW case.

    I'd try Dropbox (http://www.dropbox.com/), which you and your recipient both have to have. It's easy, and the free version would probably be enough. There are any number of other services available for emailing large files (google that). Of course, your recipient must have KN installed to be able to view it correctly, or can view it in PP, but with some loss, primarily transitions/animations.

  • While updating software of Ipad, it stop working and only shows the Apple on screen. How can I recover?

    While I was updating the software of my IPad, it stopped working and only shows the apple logo. How can I recover my IPad?

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Ipod has shut off and only shows the apple logo and the loading screen for the past day

    I was downloading a song from one of the ipod apps for illegal songs and it just stoped downloading so i restarted my ipod and it would turn back on but if i would try to go back into the app it would only push me out of it. so after restarting it a coupld more times just with the ipod it has resulted in not turning back on and remaining on the apple logo screen then to the loading screen. it wont turn on at all. i have charged it (or tried) for a whole night but the whole night it has remained on the two screen. i cant plus it into my computer because then i will lose all my music. i dont know what to do.?

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    You will very very likely lose the contents on the iPod. That is the way it is .

  • Update to 5.1 problems-unresponsive and only shows the sync screen.

    I tried updating my iTouch to 5.1 today. As it tried installing, iTunes said that there was a problem installing the update to my iTouch. Now it shows the picture containing a USB cable that points to iTunes (basically the syncing picture). However, that is all it will show. I have tried restarting and resetting! I have tried syncing as well! Yet my iTouch shows the same picture and iTunes wont read my iTouch.

    I would love if it does happen like that. However, from what I am reading, it seems that my iPod Touch has gone into recovery mode and may be completely bricked. Hoping something happens as I sleep tonight or I will be calling Apple tomorrow trying to get this solved.

  • Spotlight and target disc mode

    One of the schools I work at has an iMac that I've adopted. It's
    relatively new and, therefore, snappier than my aging but much loved
    Power Book. I have taken to starting the latter in target disc mode and
    hitching it up to the former so the PB is effectively a HDD. This is
    good becasue I don't want to leave my files on the iMac. Thing is,
    every time I connect these two, Spotlight decides it needs to reindex
    the target disc (ie the laptop). I've let it finish doing this several
    times but the next day it insists on doing it all again. I know I can
    exclude the laptop's drive by adding it to the iMac's privacy setting
    in spotlight's prefs, but it is actually quite useful to have the thing
    indexed so I can find those files I've forgotten the names of. Is there
    a way to make the indexing stick? And will such a solution interfere
    with the laptop's own spotlight performance when it is not a target disc?

    I don't believe that there is a solution to your problem, everytime that the comp is plugged in the comp sees it differently so it reindexes it
