Hard Drive Failing?


i in search of data recovery app. have precious photos , video files cherish on external hard drive.
whenever plug computer, nothing appears in finder. appears on disk utility though. tried repairing it, tells me should try recover files, up, , reformat it.
, that's why need data recovery app.

guys have suggestions? thanks.
 

to retrieve files, have been deleted , been emptied trash, can use
data rescue 3 (trial lets scan hdd , see, if data recoverable, recover files, need buy full version 99 usd) or
filesalvage (trial lets scan hdd , see, if data recoverable, recover files, need buy full version 89.95 usd).
diskdrill - lets recover data hfs/hfs+, fat, ntfs & other file systems right on mac[/i].​

know, should stop writing processes actual hdd. if same hdd 1 operating system (os) resides on, better use external hdd mac os x on boot , install data rescue or filesalvage onto scan hdd data has been accidentally deleted.

can click mount button in disk utility?

Changeware Survey: new iPad Owners Very Satisfied: 82%


very + satisfied: 98%
or unsatisfied: 2%

biggest like: retina display (75%)
biggest dislike: cost (26%)

battery issues: 22% positive, 6% negative

heat: no problem 89%, somewhat, big problem: 4%

partial survey details link (entire survey pay only) here

first scientifically conducted survey provide hard evidence ipad screen , battery not major issues , those issues either receiving defective units or ocd. again nominal .5 1% defect rate on 3 million units 30,000. 30,000 people yelling vs.the silent millions.

pool bit low @ 200, margin of error @ 10%, wouldn't make of difference end conclusion vast majority of new ipad owners happy product.

(although ocders believe, 98% satisfied stupid & blind, lacking ocders meticulous, superior attention detail, , willing accept slop put before them.)
 

do people care changeware? i'm wondering because i've never heard name.

MBP as desktop or move on?


recently 2007 mpb suffered torn screen ribbon. works fine connected external monitor, i'm thinking investing few hundred dollars create decent desktop (new monitor, keyboard , mouse). don't care losing portability, questioning whether it's worth money create desktop out of older machine.

i'm concerned how non-apple external monitors work mbps. while i'm not looking same clarity mbp monitor, i'd relatively close. and, i'd able inexpensive monitor. once "desktop" gets above $300, think makes more sense @ newer used imac.

stories lack of sharpness external monitors exception or rule? short of hooking mbp bunch of monitors @ big box store, i'm not sure how can figure out monitors work well.

thoughts?
 

lack of "sharpness" vs. mbp screen? that's new 1 me... haven't run don't mess around budget displays either...

i'm switching imacs mbps , external displays. don't care imac "glassy" display , lack of ergonomic adjustments. external displays can purchased of better quality stock imac displays comparable price. don't require power of imac or power mac , idea of having "all in one" mac both desktop , portable computer.

1 route can take increase budget , display can use portable mac when upgrade. 1 area don't scrimp display, spend of day on macs , image editing, needs may different yours. new imac costs substantially more $300, why not consider spending little more money since figure must include new input devices?

prefer nec displays high quality, reliability , 4 year warranty. ldc displays start @ $300 msrp; there thirty ccfl backlit models led backlit.

other people have suggestions less expensive displays. monitors photography web site asus display less $300: http://monitorsforphotography.com/reviews/asus-pa238q-23-review-best-value-monitor-for-photography. don't have personal experience asus displays , if considering @ other review web sites before making decision.

What your take on Multi-Tasking Gestures on the new iPad?


when got new ipad, hesitant enable multi-tasking gestures. i'm glad did. going iphone first ipad , larger screen feeling sorta uncomfortable @ times pressing home button go home screen or double pressing home button multi-task. find gestures easier. have use 4 fingers , pinch go home screen , use 4 fingers , swipe bottom access multitask bar @ bottoms.

i'm finding wish same on iphone 4s! it's easier.

think of feature?
 

i don't find myself utilizing enough...i know exist, app switching, chances next app want isn't "next" app i'm in, in case double click of home button easier me.

think of it? seems useful! use it? nah. :/

Here's My Plan (feedback s'il vous plait)


i need replace trusty 2003-vintage 1.8 ghz dual proc power mac use exclusively music production. i'm on limited budget, first instinct hottest used mac pro (octocore, 8g ram) find on craigslist.

then, started thinking (danger!)...

why don't macbook pro! (which use in studio, playing live, doing animation projects, using @ work, etc...) so, here's nascent plan:

  • get 2.8 ghz i7 13" 128 g ssd - $1599
  • upgrade 8 or maybe 16 g ram (aftermarket save $) $45 - $120
  • switch odd second ssd, put odd in enclosure - $300
voila.

don't want wait redesigned mpb, since:
  • i don't know if there second drive hack there current mbp
  • i use firewire audio interface , wary of thunderbolt adapter (adapters in general)
  • from sound of it, there won't new mbp in price range

sound plan bitchin' quite machine on tiny side?

reason expect apple lower price of unit once new line announced, la ipads?

 

if you're worried price, buy refurbished. it's same laptop different box less money.

sure want dual-core laptop integrated gpu "animation projects?" stuff sounds 15" mbp better suited (quad-core cpu , dedicated graphics).

How fast does your Mac reset PRAM?


hi all,

when our office purchases new mbp's, able compare them , select best unit based on benchmarks, etc. 1 tiny bit faster, or cosmetically little better..

anyway, onto point. noticed in our recent purchase not seen before. 1 mbp 17" takes extremely long time "chime" between pram resets. test on own unit, hold option-cmd-p-r on @ boot time. many units seem take 35 seconds initial boot second chime (when holding down keys), 1 unit have - , 1 - takes twice long...

run this? unit otherwise unremarkable , shows no errors or malfunctions. in fact, benches best of lot, why i'm asking question. :)
 

how long takes pretty meaningless. question is, why resetting nvram in first place?

Should I get a new MacBook Pro NOW?


wirelessly posted (mozilla/5.0 (iphone; cpu iphone os 5_0_1 mac os x) applewebkit/534.46 (khtml, gecko) version/5.1 mobile/9a406 safari/7534.48.3)

you've heard rumours new redesigned macbook pro coming out soon... have bought one. problem 2008 macbook pro's display doesn't work anymore , apple geniuses i'll have pay around 700 fixed. don't know do. i'd rather buy new macbook pro when bought current macbook pro, new redesigned 1 came out few months later. don't want repeat itself...

guess question is, should wait new 1 come out , fix laptop or buy 1 now? need laptop work , can't without one. again don't want ultra thin laptop rather 1 need (i'm planning 17 inch 1 anyway) , current laptop quite good...
 

i see question being asked time.

answer always: if need it, now. if can wait, wait.

don't make such commodity dilemma.

How to Move all my Photos to external


i have read here move photos in iphoto move iphoto library external. move picture files external or reference actual files still in mac? need sure make this.

~~~ then...

also, ccc makes backup of other photos not in iphoto not sure are. doe sit make exact copy of pictures folder?

have mix of things in mac. use picasa, using lightroom , stopped using iphoto long ago, still have libraries , iphoto tree.

goal: want move entirely dual system of picasa for home photos and lightroom serious experimentation.

need sure moving library folder hd files moving well, not reference actual files.


then, want move of rest photos imported picasa (this easy) , lightroom external keep mac free of photos.


thank you.

btw, see folders on mac named "iphoto library recovered photos" don't remember how landed there or how did this. in there list of files inside, in pictures folder, in others find strange named file.
 

iphoto, if not set otherwise in preferences, stores photos import in iphoto library file, which, depending on amount of photos in it, should several gb in size.
iphoto library file located inside pictures folder, copying/moving folder external hdd copy/move photos it.

find other photos, can use finder , search function (cmd+f) , search kind > pictures , if found 1 or 2 or more, can right click on 1 of them , choose "open enclosing folder".

don't know how picasa works, can't there.
use lightroom, , have setup cloned twice, have photos , libraries 3 times.

USB drive sized Thunderbolt Drive & Thunderbolt docking stations


i have macbook air , reading threads , tech. sites cant seem find out if possible have small thunderbolt drive size of little usb drive, if possible have more breathing room storage wise.

if possible think start @ price wise , how storage get?

p.s. when can expect 3rd party apple thunderbolt display docking stations?
, might price those?

thanks!
 

both items (a small thunderbolt drive , thunderbolt display) going come out sooner or later.

, when come out, going cost arm , leg time. other thunderbolt drives out cost considerably more firewire drives of similar capacity.

it's new tech , there limited products available right now, thunderbolt products going premium bit yet.

wasn't long ago (may 2011) couldn't buy thunderbolt cable.

app runs in background without input, can create beautiful visual record of day. can travel in time click wheel relive days of yore, check alibi or find out how ended in de dumpster next morning wearing nothing pink dress , pair of sunglasses… ;)

check out more details, screen shots , videos on: www.replaymyday.com or on product page in app store

i'm curious experience replay day. , should improved? had heard of replay day before? should included in next update?

let me know!
 

why seem bypass security standards in ios? lol.

i'm confused @ how possibly track things. pictures, calendar events, ect.

edit: idea fun , creative. can imagine nice on rooted android phone, or jailbroken iphone. track everything. amount of time spent using specific apps, when used apps, , sorts of other things.

of course that'd ignoring fact it'd insanely insecure , you'd want trust developers. still, nice idea!

IDEA: So much untapped potential with Messages.app!


think it. apple wants in ecosystem. iphones, ipod, ipad, osx, itunes & icloud. but... there still people have not embraced entire apple lifestyle. people have iphones, no mac. mac owners have android phones.

how using messages encourage more people adopt apple devices.

idea...

dock iphone imac. then... messages on osx takes on phone! so... in messages app, able send, receive & read sms & mms messages sent to/from iphone's phone number. osx messages app no longer limited imessage. huge feature.

think?
 

hell... while we're @ it... how updating facetime app full fledged calling app... using iphone's cell service.

Time Capsule Upload Help


hi all. got email isp saying i'm on monthly bandwith of 250gb's!! :eek: :eek:

logged on check things out. seems i'm downloading approx 1-2gb per day (which seems reasonable) uploading 15gb per day!! :confused:

have mac's on network (mac pro, 2 imac's, mac mini, macbook pro) couple iphones, 2 ipads, , hp photosmart printer.

couple of mac's have frostwire, finished downloading whatever, shut down completely.

called isp, have no idea why it's high. there anyway can find out?

wireless router password has been changed every week, , network hidden, , live on dead end street 1 neighbor, highly unlikely cause.
 

quick fix, change isp 1 offers unlimited bandwidth :)

Returned Verizon LTE iPad, keeps on searching for signal


got ipad friday noon, did people do, unboxed, synced, charged , activated verizon prepaid lte. signals @ home ok, not or bad, ok, getting advertised 5-12mbps download speeds.

went different part of city dinner time, inside 1930's brick building, sat beside window, got signals. got great speeds! around 20mbps down/15mbps up. after 3-4 hours, notice verizon lte signals going on , off, thinking, maybe it's bad inside building turned lte off, used verizon 3g. of sudden, keeps on searching , searching , searching signal. at&t iphone4s had full bars, , friend's verizon iphone4s had full bars too. then, every 3-5 mins when can't find signal, ipad reboot itself.

so, tried reset network settings of ipad, reprovision verizon service, , ipad restarted, still didn't work. tried re-seat sim card, same thing. decided up, restored it, worked perfectly... 2-3 hours.

ended doing same thing on last paragraph , after 2nd restore, worked perfectly... again 2-3 hours. tried restore it, again 3rd time, now, gave me error , won't restore , stays in recovery mode every restart. repeated restoring no avail.

it's pissing me off 1st-ever ipad has defect, made appointment @ apple store @ 230pm afternoon after using overnight documents need next morning.

got few hours sleep, woke , went apple store. of course store crowded new ipad buyers , there specialists stationed in front screen tried in store. of course got in without hitch told them had genius bar appointment. so, spoke genius guy , explained him happening. finished explaining, told me, he'll replace ipad , wait him standing.

after 45 mins, came out ipad replacement still original box plastic wrap. explained me, why took him while me 1 needed @ least troubleshoot problem, , did tell me wasn't able restore ipad @ secured replacement me. 1 thing needed log , report problem corporate , engineering newly launched product , need gather first-model issues can gather can fix issues.

ended inserting current sim card , logged in verizon activated prepaid account, working perfectly. thinking, when had 1st 1 i'll wait few more hours , see if it'll replicate problem had.

, now, after 32 hours, ipad working perfectly... well, besides usual complaint i'm reading here, longer charging, hot in lower-left side, etc, etc. after 2 days of having ipad, think made right decision in waiting 3rd-gen ipad. , besides, would've thought 1st-time ipad buyer, i've had 2 ipads in less 48 hours. lol
 

ok, lte problems coming back. when ipad goes 3g, either have to:

a) turn cell data off, on. if still doesn't work...
b) turn airplane mode on, off. if still doesn't work...
c) reboot ipad... if worse comes ro worst...
d) reset network settings

got bad week @ least once or 2x day, have reset network settings sucks because have input wifi passwords again , again.

went verizon , have them change sim card per recommendation their twitter support representative. changed sim , reprovisioned account, now, i'm on 3g. no matter rebooting or resetting do. there lte signal on lte ipad display @ verizon store know it's ipad's lte radio.

made appointment today have apple check out, we'll see happens when there. same issues?
