Directory (PICTURES) of drive C appears in the tree view of the user, above [photos] under [music], while the trouble begins...

I copy the directory (IMAGES) into a temporary directory on the C: drive. Now, I think it's safe to remove the directory in the user tree. And all three deletion of directories (PHOTOS), but not the directory of the user [photos]. As it was in the user tree, same ZAR is unable to recover it. One of the many reasons that I don't keep the files in the user tree [that is to say, My Documents, pictures, ect]. This is the second time that this has happened. The first time I copied the files to a removable disk and removed. But both the directory in the user tree and the C: drive removed at the SAME TIME. Someone at - it a possible reason as to what is the cause?

It seems that now, your system is as you like (just a folder images - with a subdirectory inside).  Duplicate photo library disappeared.  If you save an image, it records in the images directory and you can access and open it?  If so, it seems that the problem you have now recovers lost photos that happened when you deleted the folder (and it deleted them both at the same time).

RECOVER YOUR LOST DATA:

If you have Vista Business, Vista Ultimate or Vista Enterprise, you can be lucky.  They have so-called saves shadow copies, which are deleted or modified files that can be recovered in case changes/deletions made by mistake.  http://www.Microsoft.com/Windows/Windows-Vista/features/shadow-copy.aspx more information about how to use this feature to: http://blogs.techrepublic.com.com/howdoi/?p=145.

If you have Vista Basic or Premium of Vista, shadow copies is not available; However, there is an alternative that is free and the shadow copies feature called Shadow Explorer. http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/recover-files-with-shadow-copies-on-any-version-of-windows-vista/.  Although it will not help you this time, it could very well save you in case this happens again.

In case this does not work (not all files are available through shadow - it occurs periodically), here are some additional free recovery programs that might help:

http://techpaul.WordPress.com/2008/06/23/how-to-recover-your-lost-files/

The files are not really deleted until they are crushed (although they are no longer available through conventional methods).  If you decide to try these recovery programs, you should stop using your drive hard immediately in order not to replace the data that you are trying to recover.  He slave on another PC and launch the recovery of this PC.  Even now you have definitely lost some of them if you use the same PC.  If you can not do this (slave on another PC), you run the risk of overwriting the data with every action you do on the PC (but you may still be able to recover some or most or even all files - it's a matter of luck).

Only you can decide if the data is important enough to take the PC to an expert data recovery to recover files (they will have better programs and hardware to do that none of us do, and I've provided above).  Do NOT go to the Geek Squad or one of these centers of store-, they generally don't know what they are doing - it take for expert data recovery.  It will cost you a little and they generally offer no guarantees.  The decision is yours.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

  • Why the files are stored on an external drive not appearing in the "other" classification on my iMac HD?

    I'm running OS X version 10.11.4 on an iMac, retina 5 K 27-inch/3.5 GHz Intel Core i5 with 24 GB RAM/1 TB HDD and I have had for about a year, although I migrate some files over my old machine, but most were on an external.  I have almost all my larger files on an external drive 2 TB - for the most part hi res .eps, .jpeg, .png.

    I run CleanMyMac 3 as a utility. When I saw recently that I had more than 600 GB of 'others' I decided I have to spend the day to clean my files and machine - and have therefore been sucked into this rabbit hole.

    After cleaning duplicate files, empty the caches, removing unused applications and clean the external hard drive, I have still 570 GB of "other".  When you click on the bar in their own my Mac, it gives you a list of what is included in each of the classifications of file storage.  I understand, including all Documents to plain text, PDF and even files .docx, ect...

    what I don't understand is why:

    1 .pages (documents created in the clean Apple program) are not classified with documents, rather than as 'other '.

    2. why each of my .eps files that are stored on an external drive also claim space on my Mac?  It would potentially be the preview images displayed in the Finder? And if so, why it store a snapshot of the same size as the actual file?

    AND, most importantly, I can recover some of the disk space consumed by the huge amount of .eps files?

    Thank you

    'CleanMyMac' is a scam and a frequent cause of instability and poor performance. Depending on which version you have, the developer's instructions may not completely uninstall. Please follow these instructions, then do as below.

    Back up all data before proceeding.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select this option:

    /Library/LaunchDaemons/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Agent.plist

    Right-click or Ctrl-click on the highlighted line and select

    Services ▹ reveal in Finder (or just to reveal)

    the contextual menu.*, a file can open with a selected item. If so, move the selected item to the trash. You may be prompted for administrator login password.

    Repeat with this line:

    /Library/PrivilegedHelperTools/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Agent

    Restart the computer and empty the trash.

    You may also delete one or more of these elements in the same way:

    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.helperTool.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac.volumeWatcher.plist
    ~/Library/LaunchAgents/com.macpaw.CleanMyMac3.Scheduler.plist

    Never install "CleanMyMac" or something like that.

    * If you do not see the item context menu copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination. In the Finder, select

    Go ▹ go to the folder...

    from the menu bar and paste it into the box that opens by pressing command + V. You won't see what you pasted a newline being included. Press return.

    B

    For the other category in the display of information storage, see this support article. If the display appears to be inaccurate, try to rebuild the Spotlight index.

    Empty the trash if you don't have it already done. If you use iPhoto, emptying his trash internal everything first:

    ▹ iPhoto empty the trash

    In pictures:

    ▹ Show of the recently deleted ▹ file delete all

    Do the same thing in other applications like Aperture, with an internal feature of the trash. Then, restart the computer. Temporarily, which will free up space.

    According to the documentation from Apple, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the boot volume (as shown in the Infolog) for normal operation, not the mythical 10%, 15% or any percentage. You also need enough space to allow the growth of the data over. There is little or no advantage in terms of performance to get more free space than the minimum Apple recommends. Storage space you'll never use is wasted space.

    See this support article for some easy ways to free up storage space. A common waste of space is old backups iTunes to mobile devices. As shown in this support article, select the devices tab in the iTunes preferences window, select the backup that you want to remove and click on delete the backups. Keep at least a backup of each device you use yet.

    You can use a tool such OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore the volume and discover what is take up space. You can also delete files with it, but not unless you don't know you know what you remove and that all data is stored safely. This means that you have several backups, not one. Note that CESO works with OS X 10.8 or later.

    Deletion of files inside a photo library or iTunes will damage the library. Such a library should be changed within the application that created it. It is the same for e-mail files.

    Go further than if the problem is not resolved by the steps above.

    ODS cannot see the whole file system when you run simply by double-clicking; He sees only the files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you must run it as root.

    Back up all the data now.

    Install the application in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it runs.

    Triple-click any where in the text line below on this page to select, then copy the selected text in the Clipboard by pressing Control-C key combination.

    security execute-with-privileges /A*/OmniDiskSweeper.app/*/M*/* 2>&-

    Launch the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Paste in the Terminal window by pressing command + V. You will be asked for your login password.

    The application window opens behind other open windows. When you scan a volume, the window will finally show all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.

    I do not recommend that you make a habit of doing. Do not delete anything as root. If something should be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then remove by safer alternatives. If in doubt, leave it alone or ask for advice.

    When you are finished with the app, he quit and also to leave Terminal.

  • Still pictures of a slide appears on the next slide

    Very frustrating problem: I have a picture of the building of slide 1. I create slide 2 and start working on the text. For some reason, when I return to modify slide 1 and then go back to slide 2, the image of the building now appears on slide 2. There is NOT a layer containing the image in slide 2, only a text layer.

    The image does not appear in the thumbnail on the left side of the screen to slide 2.

    I checked to make sure that the image is not wrong merged with background.

    Mode overview, if I start with 1 slide and play through the continuous image to appear. If I start previews with slide 2, the image is not there, just my text...

    Everyone the experience of something like that?

    Hello

    I seems to me that when the image is inserted display for the option in the calendar of the dialog Image category has been defined "rest project." In this first instance try a double click on the photo of the building on slide 1, select the Options tab of the dialog box Image and check out what's on the menu screen. If it is set to rest of the project change rest of slide.

    Let us know how you go.

  • On signature and to get on the homepage, it work fine. Then the trouble begins. If I then access the site via search, it "hangs" spinning.

    And spinning.  I even tried to escape by pressing Ctrl/alt/delete but, once again no joy. Even when it does and I click on shutdown, reboot or disconnect all through the movements in this way, closing down never really stops. I find myself pressing the power button to get out of all this. (it's the only alternative, and I know that not recommended)  Any help will be appreciated, but I'm no expert by any stretch of the imagination!

    Healed! It was the "cache" which was at the origin of the problem, being more complete. Empty - and everything started working normally.  How I discovered that was pure coincidence as outside boot in safe mode and "messing around" with the help of a dialog box (Microsoft), type "cache" then presented with options, leading me to another dialog box. On that, I clicked on "Empty" and, hey presto, result!              In a Word, then, empty the cache solved my problem.                   (My apologies for what is very technical but I only know the basics and would never do anything that asked me to 'clear', if you are using a non-Microsoft program.)           Sorry to waste your time.

  • BlackBerry Z10 and thus, the trouble begins... bold 9900 backup restore to z10?

    Very happy that my z10 has arrived!

    The z10 uses the link instead of office.  I supported my bold 9900 before this happened.  How can I get that restored the z10, so I can get my contacts etc.?

    Of course, pre-order the tech is like... Oh no problem, simply switch your sim card & it will be there, but... It is not so.

    I had to call tech support & we are working on that.

    You can try if you have the "BOLD" phone... Download the Blackberry link (instead of the desktop computer)... to open the link, "BOLD", plug in bold. It should ask you to transfer data.  that & it invites to plug your z10 & then begins the transfer of data.

    I warn you this right now, mine is stuck at transfer 3.4 MB of 383.8 MB is yet to see if this work.  I have a slow computer, so I don't know if it's just the computer it slows down or is it really stuck.

I will certainly help you to question, however, I would be grateful if you could answer a few questions to refine the question in order to provide you with better assistance.

    (a) what is the brand and model number. the USB HDD?

    (b) has detected before HARD drive in my computer screen? If so, did you do changes on the computer before this problem?

    (c) that you get an unrecognized USB device notification error message?

    The unit is probably go up at the same point one of the partitions and thus becoming "invisible". In

    in order to further diagnose the issue, I would suggest trying the following methods and check if the problem persists.

    If the problem persists, try the following method.

    Method 2:

    Remove and reinstall all USB controllers.

    1. Open Manager devices by clicking the Start button, click Control Panel, click system and security, and then, under System, clicking Device Manager. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
    2. In the list of the categories of equipment, locate and expand Bus USB controllers.
    3. Right-click every device under the Bus USB controllers node and then click Uninstall to remove them one at a time.
    4. Restart the computer and let the USB controllers get reinstalled.

    Plug in the removable USB device and perform a test to ensure that the problem is solved
