recover missing files

My files, photos and music, mysteriously disappeared after that I had problems to connect and disabled user account in order to try to connect.  I can get these?  Is this a virus?

Hello

Unless you have deleted the files that they should still be there.

Connect as long as ADMIN - use start - computer OR Windows Explorer

Search C:\Users your former account - C: is the drive where your user profiles exist with C:
as the usual default player.

I hope this helps.

  • How to recover missing files that are still on the hard drive. iTunes and VLC Player can still read the files.

    I had a restore of the system without success and now all my files (music, photos, documents, PDF files, vids, etc) are missing.  My itunes still recognizes the path to music and can play everything.  Same thing with VLC player and photos.   For example, if I go in VLC player and watch my playlist, I see that info a video is C:\Users\kevarendt\Desktop\Vids\... and the player will play the video.  However, I can't file my own.  He is no longer on my desk, where he was saved, but the path always displays it's there.  My drive is still in his usual capacity, so none of my files have been deleted.  I can't even to my user account.  All I see is a Public folder in C:\Users\.  What happened to my user account?  All the paths to my files have nothing to show, but it's still there but invisible.  How can I access it.  I use Vista Home Premium.

    Hello

    I suggest you to check that the same in safe mode if you work, try to perform the clean boot

    Note: After troubleshooting, be sure to set the computer to start as usual as mentioned in step 7 in the above article.

    If not work then suggest to activate the hidden files and folders and then check if it works very well.

     
  • Several missing files

    Hello

    I have several missing files in my iTunes Music, about 3000 songs, so about a quarter of my library. Some albums are partially there, although all the songs are in the same folder. I can easily locate the songs individually, but I don't have the ability to recover all the missing files, even though I followed all the advice that I found within the communities and by the Google search.

    Everything started when I backed up all my music, then deleted all the music purchased and tried to restore from iCloud, to convert a large number of these in m4a m4p songs so that I could read on my Android phone.

    Although he works initially, as soon as I actually clicked on a track in return convert m4a m4p.

    So I tried to reinstall all my saved music, but now he seems to think that they are all the m4p, when in my collection of current music UI have reinstalled m4a!

    I followed the advice of turingtest2 and run the script to find the missing files, but I get a message during the process:

    The function 'ExtFromKind' needs update to generate the correct file type extension:

    An example of a missing file path is:

    ITunes think the path to the file is:

    file://localhost/C: / users/BLYTHE/music/iTunes/iTunes Media / Music / Compilations / integral Chopin / 3 - 10 Ballade No. 3 in a-flat, Opus 47.m4a

    The correct path when I get on my computer is:

    C:\Users\BLYTHE\Music\iTunes\iTunes Media\Music\Compilations\Ultimate Chopin\3 - 10 ballad No. 3 in A_Flat, 47.m4p op.

    The difference seems to be in the file type. Rather than m4p m4a.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    As a clarification, what I actually did was to use iTunes game rather than iCloud to try convert m4p to m4a files. It does not seem to have been successful, but it was obviously kind of!

  • How can I recover music files lost due to synchronization with another device?

    My music files have been on my Ipod Touch, then during what I thought, it was a normal synchronization, all my music disappeared from my IPod. I tried to sync again and it is still missing. Also, all my music went from ITunes.

    My computer is a PC.

    Is it possible for me to recover the files?

    Hi clowdnyne,

    With a few exceptions, all the music that you purchased through the iTunes Store, or when you use iTunes on your Windows computer or on your iPod touch, can be downloaded from the store once again, if it is still available on the store. See this article - download your past purchases.

    Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

    Sincerely.

  • Is anyway that I can transfer music from my iphone to itunes to help locate the missing files of the song

    So today, I opened itunes and about half of my music files were missing. A message came when I tried to click on a song and says that it is impossible to locate the files and the missing files now have an exclamation mark next to them. My iphone 6 has all the music files still on it and I am able to read them. I had happen in the past with one or two songs that have disappeared and I tried to connect my iphone to try and resynchronizing the file of the song, but just itunes erases songs out of my iphone, so I re-download just them, although it is a big problem. But because there are about 400 songs missing I need help to solve this problem. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated thanks!

  • The missing files (NOT deleted) of the file/directory of the system drive NTFS

    Greetings!

    I have a WinXP SP3 system with a SATA 2 TB to the additional internal address as a data reader. This player has only the data (.mp3, video) files in a directory and has never been used for anything other than data files. There is only one directory for the files, and although it is four levels of subdirectories to the bottom, the tree is only these four subdirectories.

    A week ago, I noticed that the free disk space on this drive jumped from 350 GB up to 1.2 TB, leaving about 600 GB of data on the disc (about 2 500 files). After checking what is obvious (Rebreather, etc.), I noticed that the missing files were all from one file *. * to n *. * and [0-9] *. *. All files beginning with o *. * to z *. * are still there. So, essentially, Miss me about 9 000 files.

    I checked to see if the missing files could be cancelled or retrieved and downloaded several utilities 'undelete' recovery or data. All public services showed that there was no data to recover, that is, the files just disappeared or evaporated.

    Where did they go? I'm totally distraught about it.

    The files are not hidden, because the reduction of space disk; hidden files still take up the space.

    I didn't something in training in the hope of recovering the data. I thought that perhaps an index obtained corrupted or deleted because files deleted did not appear in the correct order of the directory index. I ran a chkdsk on the volume, he came to own, and the files were still missing. If the files have been deleted in alphabetical order, they would still be "deleted", recoverable files?

    I also tried to see if I could do a restoration of the system to the point in time before the files have disappeared, but my System Restore says there is nothing to not restore, no action to take.

    Any ideas appreciated.

    R - Studio found the files missing, but only about 75% of them were really recoverable. Those who were not recovered was a length of zero byte. The advantage is that the names of the files were still intact, so at least I know which ones to re - create. The downside is that it's a few thousand files that need to be redone. That will take time, but a lot less time that I would have had to spend to recreate all missing files.

    R Studio also found entries previously deleted files, and I got these, too. However, the recovered files are damaged and unusable. Given that I didn't really need those, it wasn't a problem. I mention this simply as something that R-Studio accomplished (and the other tools do not have).

    The recovery is complete in terms of finding the missing files and restoring their readers to spare.  It took a lot of time, about three days I was doing piecemeal in bursts of 500 GB move the files recovered on spare disks. I'll move the files that I had not lost before out of the disc problem, as well, and then replace it. readers are cheap these days.   :-)

    Thanks for the help! Also, thanks for the recommendation R-Studio; This is a very useful tool and well worth the expense!

  • How to recover lost files .dll

    It would seem that a virus I had a few weeks ago destroyed several .dll files on my sytem and it is now affecting my game in a severe way with minced being terrible and its out of sync. is it possible to recover these files without even knowing those lacking? I tried to reinstall xp but I get a message saying that my version of xp is outdated, most likely due to updates of post installation. Please keep in mind that I'm NOT a computer Wizard and would appreciate any help that could solve this problem without resorting to a total wipe and reinstall.

    Thank you kindly.

    What makes you think of dll files are missing?

    If you get an error message, post completely, without paraphrasing.

  • All script text list missing files with additional data?

    Hello

    I'm looking for a way to export the file names of the missing files, as well as we hope some data (shooting date and duration for videos).

    Is there any Mac-compatible quick script that can achieve this? (I found a python script on the dpreview forum, but it was for windows).

    The reason is simple:

    -J' lost a RAID partition on my external drives and with it a large part of my data.

    -I could get most of it, but not all, and because it was a Mac partition, I lost the file names.

    -J' used exiftool to extract the original name and filming date RAW files, and a Terminal command allowed my reorganize these folder in logic (date function) to be relocated in Lightroom with a minimal effort.

    -Videos are another story, they do not have the original in the exif data name, only date... So while I could rearrange them in relevant records, that it takes me ages through lightroom, compare missing videos for this folder and rename it after checking the duration (as not all videos have been recovered, I can't rename it blindly).

    If I get a text list of:

    -Lack of file names

    -Shooting date

    -Duration

    I could use a terminal script to compare the EXIF of recovered files and rename them.

    Hope that someone knowledgeable enough with Lightroom SDK can help.

    Thank you

  • Recover deleted files iCloud

    I accidentally deleted several iCloud files. Well, that was intentional. I just didn't read the pop-up warning that all files would be dumped from the cloud AND my camera.

    All you connect to icloud.com search to recover these files. When I go on this Web site, I get a screen set with 3 options available:

    1. implement the iCloud on this device

    2. open find my iPhone

    3. open find my friends

    There is another link of small print that says "Check the Lock activation status"

    Anyway. There is no option to sign in. iCloud drive is enabled, active, operational, whatever... on my iPad2 (iOS 9.3.4). When I tap on option 1, I get to a statement 4 step to set up my device... that is now complete.

    Since information about restoring deleted iCloud files are 2 to 3 years, maybe Apple has changed this option by removing it. Or icloud.com refuses to deal with an older machine. Or maybe I should learn to read everything that appears on my iPad...

    Suggestions? Need more information? I really want to get these files, or I will be forced to withdraw from this gadget and return to my portable tank. Thank you, all!

    Question:
    I use and use for years, Thunderbird as my e-mail program. My email comes through my University, who uses the Exchange e-mail. In the left field of Thunderbird seems so the Exchange folder and subfolders - Inbox, drafts, sent, trash - as well as a number of files I had created. All of a sudden almost all folders that I created missing in Thunderbird, although they remain in Exchange. How to bring back those files. This problem occurred on my two machines. Both machines are running Ubuntu, a 12.04 LTS and LTS other 14.04. I'm using version 31 of Thunderbird.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated. WARNING: I am a complete neophyte to these things.

    I guess your description, and the lack of support in Thunderbird for owners of the exchange protocols, that you've been using IMAP to allow Thunderbird to 'see' the server-side e-mail folders.

    Check subscriptions in Thunderbird (right click on a folder and select new query) to ensure that missing files are always selected and subscribed.

    From my experience, when Thunderbird updates, some settings may be lost and then can return to the default values. It can have 'forgotten' these files.
