Is it possible to recover the original if I copied a file?

Is it possible to get a file once you copy it with a modified version? Help, please. Urgent.

Essentially, no.

If the data in the file are very valuable, perhaps professional forensic data recovery tools might work: http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/

You can try (free) Recuva, but I don't hold much hope.

  • I opened a picture with preview and all pixels become white. Is it possible to recover the original image?

    I just opened the photo and every pixel in it became white. There is no way to return to a previous version of the image, as if she had initially being that color. The size of the image remains the same, but each pixel is white.

    This is the second time that's happened, but the previous one, I was able to recover the deleted original file on my SD card, which is not an option at this time.

    I would like to know if there is an app or option on Preview that allows me to recover the original image.

    original title: Outlook Express problem

    Hi John,.

    Try to locate your data from outlook express:

    Click on start-> Run & paste-> %userprofile%\Local Settings\Application Data\Identities

    You will see the folders as {xxxxxx-xxxx-xxx-xx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} click-> Microsoft-> Outlook Express, you should be able to locate the DBX files, these are the outlook database files. Ideally, you should see inbox.dbx, Sent Items.dbx... check the size of the file.

    Now to get it back on outlook express, open outlook express-> click on tools-> Options-> maintenance-> the storage location.

    Click on change location, and then select the location that you have your data in.

    For the address book, see: click Start-> Run and paste the following:

    %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Address Book

    Address book with wab extension, these should reflect your Outlook Express user name.

    I hope this helps.

  • How to recover the original file names?

    Hello! Please help me.


    Accidentally, I changed the names of the videos that I used for Adobe Premiere. So now, every time I open the folder Adobe Premiere, videos are missing and replaced with a red screen "media disconnected". Is there any way I can recover the original file names without having to do it manually one by one?


    I tried to go back to a restore point, but it does not work. I can't locate too because I don't remember which video is which.


    I already edited almost 50 videos in this project it would take me a loooot of time to start all over again. :((


    Hope you can help me.

    If I understand you correctly, you changed the name of the file in Windows and can't remember what used to be file names. You have modified these in Premiere Pro, and now the project files, that you created do not know where to find the video files.

    Is this correct?

    If so, I may have a simple solution for you.

    Assuming that you're not maxing out every file so that they are all exactly the same length, the number of minutes and seconds and images should get you where you want to go. Almost as unique as a fingerprint on my PC, but I never capture a bunch of videos which are identical in time - although it is possible to do, I guess.

    Open a project file. Checking the properties of each file should reveal the name of file theoriginal and duration, which is also available directly on the thumbnail image (see image below).  Open the media browser, then look at the times on each clip. This should be enough to help you either republish or change the Windows name to what it was originally. It's always one at a time, but it shouldn't take too long. A pen and paper could help 50 videos.

  • Restore complete PC - either does not start or before restoration, said "the disk is defined as active in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."

    I am trying to restore an image backup Vista 64 is 428 GB, the drive under restoration is a Velociraptor 2x300GB RAID 0 (about 558 GB under Windows), and the drive on which the image originated was is labeled as a 750 GB drive (actually about 698 GB / 433 GB used). When I first made the attempt I got some message on the target drive, have to be cleaned by diskpart, so I did. After that, I was able to complete the restoration - but after the restoration, at startup, I get the message:

    "Reboot and select proper boot device or insert boot media in selected bootable media and press a key.

    And under Windows, the drive does not appear. Disk Management displays the disk as unallocated space. So I added a new Simple Volume and then tried the new restoration. But now I get the message:

    "The drive is set as enabled in the BIOS is too small to recover the original system drive."

    Even if the restore completed successfully after cleaning, the drive is empty, and the player has more than 100 GB more space than the size of the image. After the restoration after the own, why can't it detect the boot sector; and if I try to restore after formatting, why do we say that the disc is too small? How can I successfully restore?

    To reinstall the operating system:

    You can contact your computer manufacturer and ask them to send you a set of recovery disks.

    They should do this for a small fee.

    Or you can also borrow the same exact retail edition DVD of Windows 7 and use your product key to reinstall.

    And if you have never received a recovery disk when you bought your computer, there should be a recovery on the drive Partition hard reinstall Windows how much you bought your computer.

    The recovery process can be started by pressing a particular combination of the key or keys at startup. (Power on / start).

    Ask the manufacturer.

  • Is it possible to recover the password or to reset the password on a system of 7 Windors?

    I have a system of windows 7 that we do not have the password. He belonged to a frind who was killés in a motorcycle accident. There is no hint on the password and only one account on the system.

His wife needs to get and to locate information such as a will or accounting information
    Any help would be appreciated.

    Hello Alfred.

    While I'm not the final authority on Windows passwords, I don't think there is a way to reset the password. I think your best bet is to hope he kept important documents on a separate partition. If possible, I would consider doing the following.

    (1) depending on your level of comfort and expertise, remove the hard drive from her computer and hook it up as an external drive to a second computer that already has a functioning Windows 7 operating system. You could then read files on his now "external hard drive' and the search for all relevant documents.

    (2) If you are not comfortable doing this, or it's a phone that you do not have a service manual for, take it to a computer repair shop and ask them to carry out the extraction of hard disk and install as an external drive.

    Its hard disk can be configured as an external drive by plugging into an available USB port, either directly by the use of a hard drive to a USB connector cable, or by inserting the drive into an external hard drive enclosure which in turn plugs into the USB port.

    In both cases, the reader must be able to be read as its not used as a disk operating system, but rather as a simple data reader, for example, D:\Data disk. Sorry its not better.

    Kind regards

    Mr President.

    I got the admin password in my window 7 Professional which I totally forgot, I'm not able to use my computer, is it possible to recover the admin password?

    There is no way to retrieve a forgotten password. However, you can do this:

    1. Set your BIOS so that it uses the DVD drive as its primary boot device.
    2. Start the computer with your Windows 7 repair CD.
    3. Press a key when prompted to boot from the DVD.
    4. Select 'PC Repair' in the menu.
    5. Select 'Repair' when prompted.
    6. When you are prompted, select System Restore.
    7. Configure Windows to a point until you have changed the password.
    8. Plan ahead a little and create, test and document an alternative admin account, same as you have a spare emergency House key.

  • How to recover the art Image since an .mp3 file ID3

    Hi all

    Is it possible to recover images art ID3 of an audio file. I used successfully MetaDataControl API to retrieve other properties of file but I can't find the art inside picture specification.

    OK, I was interested in how do you extract the image of myself, I gave you just a generalization of what to do. I wrote a 'fast' service and dirty. Fuction has many types of treaties even if not used and I have not tested on several types of images and MP3s so use at your own risk. It is not optimized and don't go back not the 'mime type' when the runction is returned because I finished creating a new string rather than edit an existing one.

    Anyway, that this should work:

    public static net.rim.device.api.system.EncodedImage getID3Image(java.io.InputStream fs, long fsPos, long fsLength, String mimeType)

        /*---------------------------
         * ID3 v1 tags cannot contain images, so no need to process them.
         * ID3 v1 tags are also placed at the end of the MP3 so checking the beginning of the file won't do anything useful.

            if(mimeType != null && mimeType.length() > 0)
            {
                //Save some time in searching for image type
                return net.rim.device.api.system.EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(imageData, 0, imageData.length, mimeType);
            }
            else
            {
                return net.rim.device.api.system.EncodedImage.createEncodedImage(imageData, 0, imageData.length);

        }
        //No image found
        mimeType = null;
        return null;
    }
    

    The sample code I used was:

    try
    {
        javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection file = (javax.microedition.io.file.FileConnection)javax.microedition.io.Connector.open(path, javax.microedition.io.Connector.READ);
        if(file.exists())
        {
            java.io.InputStream fs = file.openInputStream();
            long pos = 0L;
            long length = file.fileSize();
            String mime = "";
            net.rim.device.api.system.EncodedImage image = getID3Image(fs, pos, length, mime);
            fs.close();
        }
        file.close();
    }
    catch(Exception e)
    {
    }
    

    Just the value of 'path' and an image will be returned.

    Edit: Added an if statement that changed value Boolean ver2. Also the length and the position probably don't matter, but it was just for safety, but I says that it can decode the description with UTF-16, the javadoc for 4.7.0 (the version I made and tested with) said that he supports of UTF-16 (Big Endian), but does not specify if Big Endian UTF-16 (not) is supported. Finally, a few points of optimization could be:

    • remove the descriptions (don't know not 100% if they determine if it is album art, the logo of the Publisher, etc.)
    • remove the image type (variable picType)
    • remove the minor version
    • change (if you decide to keep) "get byte" code description image so just realize that the bytes and let Java take care to get the bytes (as what the code for the type MIME)
    • replaceing the MIME parameter with a StringBuffer type so that you can get the MIME type when the function returns.
    • remove the "if(majorVersion == 2)" block because ver2 is set to true already and does not need to be redefined.

    Edit 2: Fixed a quick Oops, also found this which sets the value type (variable picType) image:

    • X 00 other
    • x 01 32 x 32 pixels 'file icon' (PNG only)
    • x 02 other file icon
    • X 03 cover (front)
    • x 04 (back) cover
    • x 05 page of the brochure
    • x 06 Media (e.g. lable side of the CD)
    • x 07 lead artist/lead performer/soloist
    • x 08 artist/performer
    • x 09 conductor
    • X0A Band/Orchestra
    • x0B composer
    • lyricist/text writer x0C
    • Saving x0D location
    • X0E during recording
    • x0F during execution
    • x 10 screenshot of film/video
    • X 11 has light colored fish
    • X 12 illustration
    • X 13 logo group/artist
    • x 14 logo editor/Studio

  • Is it possible to find the two sentences into one pdf file? For example, I know the words 'Here' and 'the answer' occur more than once in my document, but only once on the same page. I'm looking for this page.

    Is it possible to find the two sentences into one pdf file? For example, I know the words 'Here' and 'the answer' occur more than once in my document, but only once on the same page. I'm looking for this page.

    I tried to do this by using the search but it will find only them, if they occur as a long chain, that is to say "Here's the answer" rather than how they occur in the document it is to say "Here 's" a bunch of information that leads you to 'the answer'. The search feature so standard did not help.

    Then I tried to do this by using the tool to delete (obviously not the application of writing!) because it allows me to search for multiple words or phrases, however it is not highlight what page both are found. I tried to turn on the preference to enable deletions of comments and even if it meant that I could then go through all the comments, it's still not faster than my document is more than 1,000 pages, which meant there were too many total comments for me to be able to easily identify which page had both.

    Any ideas?

    There is no built-in way to search for two strings and limited to show only the results that appear on the same page.

    It can be done by using a custom script, however.
