Unable to find data after backup and installation of snow leopard

Lots of data has disappeared?
I backed up my data by dropping my hard disk icon onto an external drive, at the end of the copying process, i checked to see that the backup drive had used the same amount of file space that i had on the computer.
I then formatted my laptop and installed snow leopard, now when looking at the backup drive a cant see all my files?
i have done this at various other times without problems, any ideas

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.

My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard (via my MacBookPro), either from the HD or DVD drive. Can't get it to run Hardware Test. Disk Utility says disk OK - files are there. What can I do?

My 2006 iMac running Snow Leopard won't boot even after erasing and re-installing Snow Leopard. I erased and re-installed by putting the iMac in Target Disk mode and usin my MacBookPro as the host. But after numerous attempts I still can't get it to boot either from the HD or DVD drive. I just get the white screen after the wheel stops spinning. I can't get it to run Hardware Test - just get the white screen. If I use Disk Utility via my MBP it says the disk appears OK. All the Snow Leopad files appear to have been installed. What can I do?

Perhaps you installed the wrong version OS X onto the iMac, you can't use the disk from another Mac.
clean the disk.
If it's not working then use this method to create a bootable 10.6 USB from the iMac machine specific 10.6 disk or the 10.6.3 retail disk on your other Mac, use it to boot the iMac with.

Can't open Virtual Machines after "Archive and Install" of Snow Leopard OS

Hi all,
Please bear with me while I provide a bit of background info for my issue:
I just installed a copy of Adobe Photoshop CS5, during which I was actually forced to archive and install my Snow Leopard because of an installation error. So, I inserted my Snow Leopard disc and let the OS X installer do its thing. I remember, somewhere along the way, an admonishment that this process may somehow corrupt any virtual machines that may be installed, but throwing caution to the wind, I went ahead anyway.
Well, turns out it did indeed corrupt my installation of Parallels 6 somehow, and now none of my VMs work. When I open Parallels, and select File -> Open, then select whichever VM I want, a screen flashes so quickly I can't see it (I assume it says something like "Opening XYZ Virtual Machine"), and then.......nothing.
Thus far, I have tried to uninstall and reinstall Parallels 6 (using the KB article that directs you to delete a bunch of files via Terminal after running the packaged uninstaller) and I deleted my VMs and restored backup copies of them from several months ago.
I'm now at a loss - any ideas what I can do to get Parallels to function again? I don't know if somehow permissions were modified, or if there are any other particulars that the reinstall of Snow Leopard may have made to cause parallels to be unable to open my VMs.
Appreciate any advice in advance!

I think I would look at if you have the latest Parallels;
clone and backup your system and files before doing anything;
boot off 2nd hard drive and run Apple First Aid + (Disk Warrior or DG3 or TechTool Pro 5).
Always be prepared to be able to restore your system to prior point, that could even mean keeping 10.6.4 around for a month until you know 10.6.5 and 3rd party software and drivers all play nice together.
Bottom line: invest in two backup sets and methods; a copy of SuperDuper or CCC; and Disk Warrior.
I've used VBox, Fusion but not Parallels, plus Windows XP Mode, VHDs and VMs under Windows Vista/7.
I'd go back to ERASE and INSTALL and then do all your updates, then start on 3rd party with main packages first (CS5 and others). Off load, save, backup everything and anything you might need first of course.
Last but actually #1: a small 30GB OS X 10.6.5 drive volume (can take the 30GB from one of your backup drive is fine) so you can run the latest DU plus other system maintenance (DVDs get old, out of date, slow to boot, can't use Finder and other programs).

Can't find data after backup

Computer hardrive broke so apple put a new one. We saved all our music, photos and videos in the time capsule. When the computer got here, we did a backup. It took about 10 hours but now, we can't find our pictures or our videos or our music.

It is one or the other. Since you're Restored the phone from the previous backup, the new content is gone (unless you did a separate backup) and whatever was in the old backup is all you've got. And there is no merging capabilities.
Beware that if you do not password-protect a locally-stored backup made on iTunes on a computer, not all the content gets saved. I suspect it is similar when using iCloud, but I never use that so don't know for sure. Just Restored my new iPhone 6+ from the full backup of the previous iPhone 5 and all was there save a few passwords such as iCloud.

Optional Installs for Snow Leopard

After completing the installation of Snow Leopard, I noticed the "Optional Installs" folder on the disc and opened the Optional Install.mpkg. Under applications it lists Address Book, Mail, iTunes, iChat, etc. Does this mean they were not installed and I'm still using the Leopard versions, or were any new updates installed and they are there in case you need to reinstall? I just want to make sure I'm running the "latest & greatest" of everything. So the question is whether I need to do anything with these or if as long as I went through the normal update process I'm all good. Thank you.

no. it means that you could have chosen not to install them during the SL installation by pressing the "custom" button on one of the installer screens. but all those apps are installed by default if you didn't customize your installation. you don't have to do anything.

Unable to find data in RSA3 for particular fields2lis_04_p_arbpl datasource

I am working with datasource 2lis_04_p_arbpl to construct Yield Report. I have a field GAMNG(Target Quantity) in the table AFKO, so I added it to the communication structure and activated it. I also want the field IGMNG(confirmed quantity) which is available in the table AFKO but not appearing in the pool tables of ARBPL datasource, so I have done datasource enhancement and obtained the field in the datasource. When I am checking for the data in RSA3, unable to find data(zero values) for both the fields.

Hi ,
Please make sure that you are doing the extractor check in Update mode 'Full' .If the setup tables are filled then this should pick the data for the 2 newly added fields .
check and update accordingly later .

You need to check your datasource name jdbc/AIADataSource
Check out your data-sources.xml to make sure you didn't mistype it.

Error -2000 unable to find data reference

Hi
Ive just recently installed the SP2 Windows update and I suddenly cant run mov files in Quicktime. When I do run them I get an error "error -2000 unable to find data reference" . These mov files used to work . Ive uninstalled QT and reinstalled but it did not change the problem - Im running the latest QT available which I think is 7.5.5. When I unistalled QT I did not unistall Itunes
It has been a while since I ran these files but the Windows SP update is the most recent change I can think of
Any ideas on how to fix this would be appreciated

Hi,
Did you already check the export location and existence of the file SAPSTR.LST?
If exists, perhaps a permission issue. If not then various reasons could be applicable.

i need one very urgently for my day to day work. Can anyone suggest from where I can get a new piece(boxed) on or before 11 March 2013? As this is already launched in India in Jan month, but still not available with retailers, might be because of less demand of this very product.
