After you rename the directory of missing files

Hello

I rename a directory of Windows and now all of the previous content are missing.  I need suggestions on how to recover.

Background:

My machine runs on Win7 x 64.  The "Downloads" folder under my profile of the user (C:\Users\Brian\Downloads) had been innaccesible for many months.  When I try to open, that it does not open and, possibly, the time-out.   I could see the content when you browse the directory in a shell.  As a work-around to access the content via a command prompt I moved all the files/directories in a new directory that I named "downloads" in the folder My Documents (C:\Users\Brian\Documents\downloads).   All files are installed perfectly (about 9 GB) and I could see all the files in the new profile of downloads (C:\Users\Brian\Documents\downloads).  Then I renamed the «_downloads» download folder

When I open the _downloads file then all files were missing!  The directory is now completely empty.

I tried two programs of recovery of files (NTFS Undelete and Piriform Recuva) without success.   I haven't restarted the computer.  I read that a possible solution would be to rename the original name 'downloads' folder, but I didn't yet.

Any suggestions on next steps?

Thank you!

TestDisk (free) or R-Studio (not free).

CHKDSK may be able to solve this problem, but be aware that there is always a risk of data loss when chkdsk is run, it is advisable to start on a clone rather than the original disk where the files are stored.

  • After you rename a folder full of files using LR CC, I now have two of each DNG file with consecutive numbers providing unique names!

    After you rename a folder full of .dng and. MOV files using LR CC, I now have two of each file DNG image with consecutive numbers providing unique names. . MOV files are not affected. Activated with "Bridge" and found it said one is one Mac Application, either in the form of windows. I have Lightroom on Mac and Windows PC with local catalogues which are clouds synchronized (but never on at the same time). Could be the cause of this problem? It is possible that differ from the Mac and Windows version catalogs and their creative together via the Cloud technology synchronization can cause this duplication is obvious when all files are renamed by using a number of automatic sequence?

    Yes, my default sort criteria is by file name as my beginning of file names with a reverse date followed by a sequence number. I think at some stage I must have reproduced all the files on the Windows PC and saved with a different range of sequence numbers after the element of date filenames outside of LR. Sometime later I have imported in the Lightroom. When I decided to rename all of them using this naming convention, I discovered the duplication hiding behind different file names. This turns out to be a lesson on the practices of workflow systems.

    I guess, you create controlfile as the directory of log files "C:\ORACLE\PRODUCT\10.2.0\ORADATA\db2\".
    So now, you will need to change pfile to again match controlfile.

    sql>create pfile='c:\pfile.ora' from spfile;
    

    Change the section of the command file "c:\pfile.ora" to match your NEW control file.
    then start DB, using the new file pfile

    sql> startup mount pfile='c:\pfile.ora';
    

    Check the locations of the data file and log files from views v$ datafile and v$ logfile.

    If everything is ok - open the database and create spfile

    sql>create spfile from pfile='c:\pfile.ora';

  • After you rename the computer, the backup of the file history still showing the old name of the computer to its destination.

    Original title: history of Falie Worng Destination path

    I changed my computer name [my computer setting and the name, display name, computer and computer Description all equal under the same name]. But when the history of files backing up my files, he insists on putting the OLD computer name in the backup destination path, for example:

    Backup_Drive\\Backup_Folder_A\UserID\Old_Computer_Name\Data...

    I tried selecting a new backup drive and reboot several times, but the history of files always comes back to the old name of the computer when you create the destination path.

    How can I fix?

    Similar to the response of Siva here, you will want to return to

    C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\FileHistory

    Now, if FileHistory was lit before, using the old username, there will be a configuration file and the Config1.xml and Config2.xml files will contain several tags using the old name of PC. Rather than wipe these files, open each file in Notepad and search for the name of your old PC and replace with the name of the new, do not forget to save.

    In addition, if you want to keep a backup that has already been created with the old name of PC, you'll need to find, rename the main folder ("old name PC") and in this folder, rename tags in the Web configuration files (as you did in the local configuration files).

    When I tried to delete my local config files, he would recreate using files of configuration of the backup, that were also incorrect, so I just manually renamed and mine works fine now under the new name of PC.

  • Distortion after you convert the wav to mp3 file

    Hello

    I work with a sampling frequency .wav file 8 k, 16-bit, mono a Skype conference call that was recorded by the computer. Wav is ACM Microsoft file: Microsoft ADPCM. The audio quality of the original is not optimal, as you can imagine, but when I do my changes and convert to mp3 that sounds horrible. I don't know the technical term for it, but it sounds muffled and distorted - the effect you get when cut you your hand in front of the mouth and the move while speaking. I am at a loss for what to do. Is there a setting I need to change before conversion? I know it's a sampling rate low (I usually work with 44.1 K), which would contribute to the problem?

    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Thank you.

    In a quick test, I was able to get significantly better results with an 8K, 16-bit source conversion to MP3 when you change the MP3 setting to 16 kHz.  In the file > save as dialogue, after selecting the MP3, click on the button 'Edit' next to 'Type of sample' and change the sampling frequency.  The file size was virtually unchanged, but the audio quality has been increased and by looking at the two files in spectral view showed a marked improvement.

    Edit: Oops, I answered by e-mail and didn't know that this has been posted on the forum Audition 3.  I suspect the results will be even better with the 3 MP3 encoder - both are by Fraunhofer.  Here were the differences I've seen when writing 8 k 16 K vs.  The resulting file is 29KO in both cases.

    MP3 recorded to 8K sampling frequency setting

  • Necessary troubleshooting after you rename the parent folder

    Recently, I renamed some files from the month to the 00 month (i.e. from January to January 01) and moved this month RAW files in a subfolder for this shoot.  The bad news is that I forgot to do in Lightroom!  Usually I choose a photo, update its location, and it syncs all the other photos in this folder.  However, something went wrong.  Whenever I try to add a link to the photo, it says the name of the file is different from the one chosen, and I want to continue.  File names have been changed already and just the sub and parent folder.  This means that I have to do each photo one at time and a few hundred to re link. I have tried to right click on the parent folder and select the location of the update folder and file (wants to import photos as if they were never in the catalogue) synchronize any suggestions to fix this?

    Adding spaces before the name of the file using Lightroom did indeed cause a space to be present in both the file name as shown in Lightroom and the file name as shown in Windows.

    And the problem remains that your file in Lightroom names do not seem to match the names of files in Windows.

  • After you rename the data file, cannot start database

    Oracle 11 g 2
    OEL 5 (ASM)
    Network infrastructure (cluster install) - no CARS yet

    Something interesting happened. Perhaps this question might be more suited to the "ASM" section, but that's.

    I gave a data in ASM file an alias with the following command (the ASM instance):
    SQL> alter diskgroup DATA add alias '+DATA/oradb/datafile/users01.dbf' for '+DATA/oradb/datafile/users.253.795630487';
    
    Diskgroup altered.
    Then, as mentioned in Note: 564993.1, we need to update the database as well with the new alias. However, when I went to the stopping and starting of the database, I received the following:
    SQL> shutdown immediate;
    Database closed.
    Database dismounted.
    ORACLE instance shut down.
    SQL> startup mount;
    ORA-12514: TNS:listener does not currently know of service requested in connect descriptor
    It's strange. Nothing has changed except the alias being added to the data file. This is all before operation. That's happened?

    I think that it may have to do with the different ASMOPER, ASMADMIN, ASMDBA groups that have been installed as part of the installation of the grid Infrastructure. In addition, the listener is running out of the GI home.

    All my variables environment (e.g. ORACLE_SID, ORACLE_HOME, etc.) are defined.

    Any ideas?

    Thank you.

    Hello
    When you connect with tnsnames alias while the database is down the listner did not know the service, so you must start the database on the server database with sqlplus / as sysdba. After starting the registry of data base with the listener and your connection works again.
    Alternativ you can add a service to your listener.ora to connect with him while he is arrested, as long as you do not have it you must use local connect which means sqlplus / as sysdba.

  • Root user cannot create VMS within the Resource Pool after you rename the Cluster

    Currently, vCenter manages two clusters. I renamed a single cluster and the root user seems now are not allowed to create a new Virtual Machine in resource pools to the title of the group with the changed name. I tried to change the name of the cluster to its original name... no luck.

    The root user can still create a VM under the individual cluster nodes, but not in a resource pool.

    The cluster that has not been renamed yet can be managed completely with the root user. Resource pools it allow me to create a virtual machine.

    I found this last issue and checked on each cluster node that the ACEDataRoleId is-1 for each section: http://kb.vmware.com/selfservice/microsites/search.do?language=en_US & cmd = displayKC & externalId = 1031192

    I am at a loss, any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

    I think it's a bug. When I created a new data center and migrate all nodes in cluster about him, the permissions problem I was experiencing did not follow.

    In the EPS group, usually there is a set of Configuration files are synchronized to all of AdminServer breaks the run. A simple example is like file config.xml and some files of data sources, files, ldap, etc. Whenever we reboot the Soa or bam managed servers, they go to AdminServer and obtain a copy of these files. So, if you make any changes directly on the managed server computers, then can be is getting crushed when you restart the servers. Check the timestamp of all these files. Make the changes on the side means Admin on the machine where you have AdminServer running. If all goes well, soa/bam should get these files at startup.
