What is a good recovery program

Hi I am looking for a good recovery program, someone has mentioned Disk Drill, can anyone recommend this, or are there better options.I've mistakenly deleted an image folder and hopefully I shall be able to recover it, as the images are quite important.

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service, such as Data Recovery by DriveSavers, which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

What's a good karaoke program/app for the iPhone, iPad and Macbook Pro. I need lyrics and tempo shown.

What's a good karaoke program so I can practice at home ? I need the lyrics and tempo shown like a professional setup for the pc windows lline and the app should be similar throught IOS platforms and Mac.

You'll need an adapter cable, and which one you need depends on what version MBP you have and the inputs on the monitor.
I just recently purchased a Dell U2410 to use as a second display with my iMac. Overall I'm pretty happy with but my use is a little different, I wanted something with very good color accuracy for photo work. Based on what you said your needs are, you probably don't have to spend as much.
One thing I will say, is this particular monitor (and I believe all Dells) has an antiglare screen on it, which to be honest, took me a little getting used to. Because of the matte surface, text and documents aren't quite as sharp and can even look a little hazy at times. For your uses you may be better off with a glossy screen as long as glare isn't going to be too much an issue for you.
BenQ makes some pretty nice and affordable monitors these days LED backlit or otherwise, and on that note, theres absolutely nothing at all wrong with non "LED" monitors, both technologies are still using an LCD panel for the display, they just deal with the backlighting differently.
As the other poster mentioned, NEC is always a good option as well. Less common on the consumer side, but they make very good professional products.

What is a good spyware program to download

What is a good spyware program to download?

I strongly disagree with Shootist007. Google "OSX Flashback" to see the damage a recent Trojan was able to do by infecting thousands of MAC's - many of whom shared the view of Shootist I suspect. OSX is susceptible to viruses just like Windows machines- however, just on a much smaller scale.
Apple itself even recently removed the famous tag line " Mac's don't get viruses " from it's advertising because it is simply no longer true.
Personally, I've used Norton Internet security for MAC - and found it to be very good. I currently use AVAST free antivirus however on my Macbook PRO and it also seems sufficent. You can obtain this by going to www.download.com and you'll note its among the most downloaded MAC software on the site.
Also - if you have not done so - make sure your firewall is turned on by going to the security settings. I'd also suggest going to safari preferences and unchecking the box marked "JAVA", not to be confused with JAVA SCRIPT which is ok. This is how the "Flashback trojan" I mentioned earlier exploited OSX.
Best of luck !

What is a good billing program that won't delete my charged work!?

I have been using iRatchet (the same program as MacFreelance under a different name) and it has recently been changing my billed numbers on it's own. I will let the timer go for a certain amount of time and then iRatchet will just lower the price on it's own! I would like to know either if there is a good app out there that would not do that or a way to fix iRatchet. I have tried to talk to the iRatchet and MacFreelance people put they don't return my emails.

I have started using Billings and it works pretty well.

What's a good file recovery program for a MacBook Pro running IS 10.7.5?

Hey gang - I ordered a miniStack 4TB external hard drive from OWC a few months ago during a long overseas trip. I finally unwrapped it and started dumping data to the drive from the 1TB drives (also from OWC) I used via my MacBook Pro. I connected the 4TB to the laptop with FW800.
I came back from the gym (gone about two hours) and saw a "the drive wasn't disconnected properly..." window. There was a clicking noise coming from the drive, which means mechanical failure.
I went into Disk Utility and the drive is there but it's grayed out. I changed cables to USB 3.0. Unplugged the drive. Shut down the laptop. Then went through the start up and nadda.
So before I run off a disk repair place in town and spend $1000, what's a good hard drive recovery program to use to pull the data? I only dumped 1.5TBs until the 4TB and have other drives to dump that data too if I need to.
Thanks.
Cheers,
Bill.

Need a good free data recovery program

Can anyone suggest a good free data recovery program? I have some deleted images on a camera card that I'm trying to revive.
Thanks!

If there is any chance of recovery at all your best bet is Prosoft Data Rescue 3 . There is a free trial to see if it can recover what you need. But don't do another process on that drive until you've downloaded and run it.
That means that ideally you should use another bootable drive to download and run Data Rescue. Or booted from another Mac in firewire mode. Also, there is always the option of ordering or going to the store to purchase the DVD. Then running from the optical drive.

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso

What is a good program to install windows via a flashdrive...Have the iso...

What are you trying to do?
You can install Windows in a Boot Camp partition and have a Dual Boot system where you run one operating system at a time. Either Windows or Mac OS X.
Or you can use one of the 3 available virtual machine software parograms to install Windows in a virtual machine on top of Mac OS X. Then you can run both Windows and OS X at the same time.
If you go with the Boot Camp option then you really need to burn that ISO file onto a DVD disc as Boot Camp likes to install from disc.
If you go with the virtual machine option then you can use that ISO file as it is to install Windows. You will just point the VM to the USB thumb drive to find the Windows OS to do the install from.

What are some good free virus and malware programs?

what are some good free virus and malware programs?

The common census by the old timers on the forum is that you should not have any AV software on your Mac cause its not needed, yet the forums are full of people that have been infected with Malware which the same people help clean afterwards.
This totally befuddles me. I take care of quite a few macs and in the past few years have installed Anti Virus software on them and other than Sophos not catching the latest kinds of Malware that are out in the wild, I have not experienced any of the problems that the so called experts claim that they do.
Over the past few months I have migrated over 50 Macs from using Sophos to now using aVast Free Anti Virus for Mac. Other than getting more alerts of Windows viruses being found in Mail there has been no downside whatsover.
I believe in the old saying that an ounce of prevention is worth more than a pound of cure. So with that I will recommend that you should have some sort of Anti Virus software on your Mac. As I said prior, for now I an recommending avast Anti Virus for Mac. This will protect your Mac from getting infected with malware before you have to come back and ask the experts here how to fix your Mac and get rid of the malware.
When doing a scan I recommend that you only have it set to only show infections. Since it cannot read some compressed files and reports them as an error.

What's the correct recovery process once upgraded to Windows 10? (No OneKey Recovery)

I have a Z50-70 laptop that came preinstalled with Windows 8.1. It is a OEM version, with the product key stored in the Bios. It is a UEFI install. It currently has OneKey recovery installed, which, if I understand correctly (I haven't actually used it yet), allows you to recover from a recovery partition in the hard disk. This isn't a "fresh" Windows 8.1, but an image provided by Lenovo that takes you back to the state the laptop was in when originally purchased (will have all Lenovo software and drivers preinstalled). According to the official Lenovo upgrade guide, before performing the Windows 10 upgrade, we should uninstall basically all Lenovo software, including OneKey recovery and it won't work in Windows 10. Questions: 1. What's the correct process to recover the system from within Windows 10 if something goes badly wrong? I think Windows 10 has a built in "reset your computer" functionality in Settings which I assume is what we would be expected to use. Would this take me to:a. A completely fresh install of Windows 10?b. An image created during the 8.1 to 10 upgrade, containing all my files etc at the point of performing the upgrade?c. Or would it use the Lenovo recovery partition (that OneKey Recovery would have used if it was compatible) and take me back to Windows 8.1?d. Something else? 2. Once I've performed the upgrade and Windows 10 has successfully activated, I believe I could create a bootable media with the Windows 10 ISO, boot into it and install a completely clean installation of Windows 10 and it would activate. I could theoretically do as many fresh installs from the bootable media as I want, so long as initially I did the upgrade (not a clean install), and the laptop hardware doesn't change. Is that correct?2a. If so, during the first clean bootable media install process, would I be safe to compeletly remove the Lenovo recovery partition entirely, and from that point onwards rely on Windows 10's "Reset your PC" functionality? Could I could even just use reinstalling Windows 10 from bootable media again as a way of recovering? If I understand correctly, it doesn't make sense to keep the recovery partition it if it can't be used within Windows 10. I think it I had a regular desktop PC with a retail version of Windows, then all the above would be fine. The added complications here are that 1. I have no Windows 8.1 product key (it's handled alll by the BIOS), and 2. I have no recovery disks. I want to make sure I understand everything fully before upgrading, and potentially doing a clean install using bootable media, so that I don't end up messing something up and ending up with either a laptop that I can't recover, of a Windows installation that isn't activated. Thanks.

Update for anyone else reading: I just uninstalled OneKey recovery on my Windows 8.1 installation, in preparation for the upgrade. So as far as Windows is concerned, OneKey Recovery has been completely removed. The good news is that I then shut down the laptop, pressed the novo button, selected "System Recovery" and I was still greeted with the OneKey recovery program where I could choose to restore from factory image, or a custom image. Therefore I assume that once I've upgraded to Windows 10, I will always have the option to restore to factory Windows 8.1 if I ever need/want to. The confusion seems to be that the OneKey recovery software is actually two separate softwares: 1. OneKey Recovery #1 is installed within the hidden recovery partition that is responsible for performing a system restore from the image of your choosing - either the factory image or a custom image created by OneKey recovery software #2. OneKey Recovery software #1 is always accessible via the Novo button. 2. OneKey Recovery #2 is installed on the Windows 8.1 installation, that is responsible for creating custom system images. You can also choose to restore the system from here, but as far as I can tell, this just restarts the computer and loads up OneKey software #1, which allows you to perform the recovery. OneKey Recovery #2 is the software that Lenovo told us to uninstall before upgrading to Windows 10. However, uninstalling OneKey Recovery #2 will leave OneKey Recovery software #1 in tact.As far as I can tell, this means that uninstalling OneKey Recovery #2 means that we lose the ability to create custom system images, but we retain the ability to restore from a system image. Can anyone confirm that I've understood correctly, and that what I've said above is indeed the case? I'm still a little unsure about what Windows 10's built in "Reset this PC" will do though - whether it will use Lenovo's recovery partition or perform a clean Windows 10 install.

What's a good book for getting started?

I've been doing web design in HTML and ColdFusion for almost 3 years. It's clear that ColdFusion is on it's way out and I need to learn J2EE/Java/JSP etc. I have a few questions:
Java is a term I've heard associated with C++ and other types of programming as well as Web design. Are the Java/C++ Java and the Web Java basically the same type of language? Is the Web Java and JavaScript the same thing? I'm very confused!
What is a good book for getting these types of questions answered and getting started in J2EE/Java/JSP? There are quite a few variations of script languages out there and I want to make sure I learn the right stuff, ie the stuff that employers are going to be needing.
Thanks!

Here is a free online version of a good book:
http://pdf.coreservlets.com/Core-Servlets-and-JSP.pdf
Print it off or read from the screen. Otherwise, there are several good Java books out there. What I would do is go to the bookstore and thumb through a few books. Depending on what type of book you want (example based or theory) find the books that you think would satisfy your learning style. Write down the names and authors, go home and buy them used online at Amazon for tremendous discounts. This way you can buy several versus just one.
