I just got a new external harddrive and I was copying everything to it, I cancelled the process so I could try something else, then I dragged the folder again and clicked replace. But I did it the wrong way. The first time I did it I went like this
Mac HD --> External
and then I stupidly went like this
External --> Mac HD
Therefore replacing the files with nothing. This is 19gb of footage that I need terribly bad.
How can I recover a file I by mistake replaced?

iMac, Mac OS X (10.5.8), I prepared the document in Word/Mac
Today I accidently moved a project I'd been working on from my flash drive to my desktop, I already had a folder of the same name on my desktop and when I merged it, it overwrote the old file and my project is totally gone. Is there any way of undoing this or recovering my work.

View 13 Replies View Relatedso I was organizing all my pictures in the Pictures folder and I made a folder called "My Pics" under the Pictures folder. I dragged the iPhoto Library file there which contained all my pictures from like two years in it. Then I opened iPhoto and a new one came up not in "My Pics" but just under the Pictures folder. I dragged it to the my pics folder thinking it was the same but it was a brand new copy and I accidentally replaced the one with all my photos. Please help me all my photos are missing and it's if I never put anything in iPhoto.

I had a mid-2008 MacBook Pro running 10.6. I used filevault on the main user. Unfortunately the logic board died while I was logged in. I bought a new MacBook Pro and Apple successfully moved the files across, however, when I go to login it says "you are unable to log in to the FileVault user account". Using disk utility I found the disk needed to be repaired and did that and repaired disk permissions to no avail. I have another admin account that doesnt use FileVault on this laptop... is it possible to get in through it?? I was reading about using terminal, however, all advice was OS 10.4 or earlier. I don't know if this poses any significance but in the other admin account the internet won't turn on. Even if I successfully add wifi or plug in my usb tethering enabled iphone 4 it won't connect. Also the user file seems a tad small (only 25GB) so I'm concerned I've lost some data.

View 2 Replies View RelatedMy MacBook's hard drive died last night, but luckily I have a backup from earlier that day on my Time Machine enabled external HD. My friend has a MacBook, and I have a paper due for a class in about a week, so I was wondering if I could hook my HD to her computer and recover just the word document. I would have tried this by now if the guy at the store who's replacing my hard drive had not told me to be extremely careful when trying this or else it won't restore when I get my computer back.

I made something in Illustrator, neglected to embed the link using the Links panel, and then deleted the link. Everything shows up fine in Acrobat and the Illustrator file is huge, indicative that the links are actually in the Illustrator file. I can place it into a new Illustrator document and everything shows up just fine, but I can't edit it. How do I extract the links from this Illustrator file and/or relink them to the one that is in the .ai itself?

View 1 Replies View RelatedI accidentally formatted my external hard drive when I was creating a Windows USB install disk with Boot Camp It was a HFS+ formatted drive with a GUID partition table and 2 partitions: one clone of my Macbook OS, and one with personal data. I'm not worried about the OS clone, I'm more concerned about getting my personal data back on the second partition.So far I've used Stellar Phoenix and Data Rescue 3. I reformatted the hard drive from FAT to HFS+ before I did these scans. Not sure if it was a good idea, but the programs wouldn't scan properly otherwise.Stellar finds my files with the original folder structure, but I can't open any of the files, even though the file sizes seem to be correct. Data Rescue partially finds the original folder structure, and also has a "Reconstructed files" section which has all my files sorted by file type and without the original file name. I really want to avoid going through all my photos, videos, etc. one by one to sort them out.
Can I still recover my files in the original folder structure? Why can Stellar find all my files basically intact, but I can't open anything? In the meantime, I'm going to try scanning with Disk Drill and FileSalvage with fingers crossed...
I have a 2009 Macbook Pro, and Apple advertises up to 80% battery capacity up to 1,000 charges. My MBP is down to 75% health after a little more than 500 charges.Would I have any problem getting Apple to swap the battery out for me free of charge?
View 5 Replies View RelatedI have a macbook pro 13 inch purchased in 2009. My HDD died so I took it to an Apple dealer and they replaced it and upgraded me to 10.6.8, when I took it home I found that some of the applications I had received for free were now missing, and after a few days I was having the same problems with my HDD (folder with ? mark appearing) so I took it back. They told me that I had a virus? They then gave me the apps that had been missing and upgraded me again to 10.7.3 however it is still freezing regardless of whether I am on the internet so its not my connection. I also went to open itunes and it told me it could not find a folder and to choose a location. When I chose Music - itunes - it states I can't and to choose another folder.

View 1 Replies View RelatedThe problem I am having is that lines will appear on my screen at random times (vertical and horizontal), or when I tilt the screen. I had it replaced at the Ginza store after my screen died, then I had it replaced a few weeks ago at the 5th Ave store and it's doing it again, but this time more colors of lines show but vertically and horizontally. In the last replacement the gave me a new screen and a logic board. It was good for about 4 days. Am I doing something wrong? I have read on the forum about people having small lines show, but my whole screen changes. My computer sits on my desk in my room, it never leaves. It's also a last gen 17 inch PowerBook.
