Yosemite/FileVault - data lost?

device
Macbook pro retina 2012
osx Yosemite
filevault enabled
story
upgraded to yosemite, enabled filevault
after reaching desktop I would get spinning beachball after 5-10 seconds. Guest account worked fine.
Reinstalled Yosemite from recovery mode
after I login now I cannot reach desktop. System freezes at 50% status bar after I type in my password.
I tried to turn off encryption from recovery mode but nothing happens after I click it.
I do not have a recent backup. Is there anyway to recover my data?

At this point filevault is not encrypting or decrypting since I am unable to login
does anyone know how I can fix the login problem or recover the data before wiping the drive?

I should just change the OS and leave all your apps and data alone. That said, if any of your apps are old and use Rosetta (ppc apps), they won't run under Mountain Lion.
Make sure you take a good Time Machine or Clone backup before you convert.

After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone help?

After upgrading to Yosemite I have lost iPhoto. It has a cross through it in Finder, but I clicked on it and I was directed to download the latest version from the App store, but it is not available in the Australian store. Can anyone please help? I am not an advanced user and I would like my photos back, having had no idea I would lose iPhoto in the upgrade!

Thanks petermac87...but for some reason, the only purchases showing are OS. So assuming iPhoto is in Mountain Lion, I was hoping to look under Hidden Items there as you suggested, but there is no option for that. Only option is to download Mountain Lion again, not iPhoto specifically. Any ideas welcome!

Is it possible to recover ical data lost in a sync?

Is it possible to recover ical data lost in a sync?

Your only bet is to resotre from the Time Machine backup. However when you do this the sync process will promptly delete the calendars again, so you need to work through the slightly convoluted method detailed in this page:

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

Trouble: HD "Data Lost," DiskWarrior stumped, then a "Clean Install"

Hello Classic Fans,
Since installing OS 9.1 on my 1998 WallStreet PowerBook on 25 April 2005, I enjoyed a PERFECT computer until 3 days ago (16 Feb. 2006) when my Mac started badly acting up.
I'll chart what happened and what I did to correct the problem in the hope it may help others. I would also appreciate feedback telling me if what I did was correct and if there's anything else I should do. Since I'm just now back up and running I'm not sure the problem is gone.
Sequence of Events:
16 Feb: While surfing in InternetExplorer 5.1.7 the program quit then the display froze. Ran DiskWarrior (5% out) and installed fresh copy of I.E. I had not had a freeze for many moons!
17 Feb: Got "Data Lost" on HD error message twice. Ran DiskWarrior again (5% out).
Backed up recent important "Documents" stuff to CD.
(Note: From past experience I knew that the HD "Data Lost" error means certain trouble).
18 Feb: It's back! Got HD "Data Lost" right away. This time the error box kept flashing and dinging like nuts and wouldn't stop.
Forced restart.
Flashing "Question Mark" appeared (HD can't recognize its own "System" software!)
Booted to Zip Rescue Disk with DiskWarrior on it.
DiskWarrior can't see HardDrive -- none of my normal desktop icons appear either.
Shut down with Power Button.
Tried to start/boot to HD ("System" folder) using Power Button.
This time HD recognized its "System" folder and started normally! (How come it could normally boot this time but not last time?)
Restarted to the Boot Rescue Zip. This time DiskWarrior COULD see HD, so I ran DiskWarrior (1% out) on the HD and successfully rebuild Directory.
Almost certain now that something was wrong more than DiskWarrior could fix (I had run DiskWarrior twice in 2 days and the problem was still there and getting worse), I consulted the Apple TroubleShooting guide and decided to do a "Clean Install" of OS 9.1 before I lost EVERYTHING on my HD (that dire event happened before!)
Did "Clean Install" of OS 9.1.
Moved the following folders from the "Previous System" suitcase to the new clean install "System" Suitcase: Control Panels, Extensions, Favorites, Apple Menu Items, Startup Items, and Preferences.
After doing that stuff and a restart, my desktop now looks the same as it did before the Clean Install and my applications, etc. are working like they did before too.
Is the problem fixed? I don't know yet. But from past experience I do know that once the HD "Data Lost" error starts appearing bad stuff starts happening really fast.
Als: Since installing OS 9.1 nearly a year ago, I have never rebuilt the desktop or reblessed anything. Was that a mistake? But this PowerBook just ran PERFECT better than when brand new!
Until 3 days ago....then BANG!
Did I follow the correct procedure? Any other suggestions for this eight year old PowerBook to keep it alive?
Thanks and I hope this helps others....
Wallstreet G3 Powerbook Series (1998) Mac OS 9.1.x 233 Hz; 20 GB HD (16 GB free); 288 RAM:

I have no expierence using a zip disk. I have always ran DW directly from the CD. Therefore, unknown if it would have made a difference.
The reason why IE froze could have been because it needed more preferred memory. The newer version needs approximately 300%.
If you were looking at a flash type site, those take up a lot of memory & can cause freezes if your browser does not have enough preferred memory.
Then again, you could have had directory damage. 5% is not much. You could have run Disk First Aid directly from your System Install CD that originally came w/your computer. Whatever, DFA can't repair, then that is when you pull out the heavy artillary (DiskWarrior, etc.).
I would just leave sleeping dogs lie for right now if your computer is running smoothly again.
I would also do a monthly maintenance by running DW & Plus Optimizor.
Rebuild your desktop after updating/upgrading an OS, running a 3rd party utility like DW, downloading & installations.
You really need a backup browser. The following is from Microsoft's website:
"Microsoft ended support for Internet Explorer for Mac on December 31st, 2005, and is not providing any further security or performance updates. As of January 31st, 2006, Internet Explorer for the Mac is no longer available for download from Microsoft."
Alternative OS 9.x Browsers:
Mozilla v1.3.1(Wamcom)
Netscape Browser Archive
Netscape v7.0.2
MacUpdate-NC v7.0.2
iCab v3
Opera v6.0.3

Why the cached data lost from Coherence?

Yesterday,I sarted a storage-enabledcache server by running cache-server.cmd and started a storage-disabled cache console by running coherence.cmd.
Then I inputed the following commands to input some data into the Coherence caches:
cache(cb)
put a a
put b b
put c c
put d d
put e e
Map (cb): list
c = c
e = e
a = a
d = d
b = bBut today, when I issue the list command from the Coherence command line, the output become "null".
Why the data lost?

By running cache-server.cmd Coherence will be using the configuration file from the coherence.jar which will default to a cache with expiry of one hour. So if you had checked you cache after an hour or so you would have seen it was empty.
If you look at the coherence-cache-config.xml file inside the coherence jar you will see this mapping (which will apply to the cache you created with the name "cb"
    <cache-mapping>
      <cache-name>*</cache-name>
      <scheme-name>example-distributed</scheme-name>
    </cache-mapping>This maps to a scheme called example-distributed that looks like this:
    <distributed-scheme>
      <scheme-name>example-distributed</scheme-name>
      <service-name>DistributedCache</service-name>
      
      
      <backing-map-scheme>
        <local-scheme>
          <scheme-ref>example-binary-backing-map</scheme-ref>
        </local-scheme>
      </backing-map-scheme>
      <autostart>true</autostart>
    </distributed-scheme>which uses the example-binary-backing-map scheme
    <local-scheme>
      <scheme-name>example-binary-backing-map</scheme-name>
      <eviction-policy>HYBRID</eviction-policy>
      <high-units>{back-size-limit 0}</high-units>
      <unit-calculator>BINARY</unit-calculator>
      <expiry-delay>{back-expiry 1h}</expiry-delay>
      <flush-delay>1m</flush-delay>
      <cachestore-scheme></cachestore-scheme>
    </local-scheme>which you can see has expiry set to 1 hour.
I once had to help out a team who managed to get a node using this configuration on their production cluster and lost random data every hour!

NTFS data lost when read on Mac OS X Mountain Lion

I am having external disk with NTFS and using Mac OS X Mountain Lion to work with the data inside the disk.
However I encountered problems when working with those data in Mac, somehow the data inside several directories on NTFS disk are lost.
The data lost was not because it was deleted, the data just lost directly when it was opened on the mac.
From the Mac's Finder, it is said that the size of the directories were zero bytes.
When I connected the disk to windows machine after that then it keep showing 0 byte. The data was lost permanently just after I opened it from Mac - the data was there previously before I openned it in Mac, but right now it's gone.
It's happened two times on different NTFS disks, it seems that Mac OS X deleted those files on NTFS disks.
Has anyone here encounterred the same problems like I did?
How to prevent it from deleting NTFS data again?
Is there any way how to recover those lost NTFS data?

When I upgraded my MAC to Yosemite OS I lost my lightroom. I was able to restore elements because I had the old cd. Contacting Adobe is impossible, how do I find out if they can restore it?? Thanks! Pat

when I upgraded my MAC to Yosemite OS I lost lightroom. I was able to restore elements because I still had the CD. Light room came as a bonus when I bought it at COSTCO last year. How can I contact Adobe people to see if they will restore it? I tried my 'finder' nothing..thanks! Pat

If you took the time to register Lightroom with Adobe after you installed it, you can retrieve your serial number from your account information that is available to you online. Serial numbers are crucial to have available in the event of a computer upgrade or change of computers. It's hard to understand why people don't take care to store those serial numbers where they know they can get them if needed.

I have a feeling this has been up here a lot. I updated ios 6 to my phone with no problems but I also back my phone up. I decided to help the wife out and update hers and something went wrong data lost. All contacts, photos, etc without backup, help.

if you have no back up in icloud or itunes the best you can do is sync with your computer and get back what you can from there

Data lost when download data after ALV display in background

Hi, everyone, first i display the data in ALV Grid, then I upload the data into sap application sever, it is ok in foreground. But when i run the program at background and the data is more then one page in spool list, the file on application server will lost and only has data in last page of spool list. Is this SAP standard behavior? please advice, thanks.

There is a simple logic.
First i get all data and keep the data in interal table T_LIST.
Then call function REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY to display data in T_LIST.
Third, Using statement OPEN DATASTET and TRANSFER to upload data in T_LIST into application server.
In fact, it will be ok if run the program foreground. it will also be ok if upload data into appllication server before display data with ALV grid. But i just want to know the root cause why data lost in my current design. thanks.
