  • How to read the Notes of Apple recovered from the HARD drive has crashed

    I tried to use DiskWarrior 5 to repair the hard drive that crashed on the previous laptop I was using (Macbook Pro mid-2010 7.1) last year.  I was running OS X 10.9 Mavericks for sure, and I'm almost certain that I had updated to OS X 10.10 Yosemite at the time where the hard drive crashed.  DiskWarrior does not completely fixing the reader, but I was able to recover most of the important files that I needed back.

    The only thing that I still have to get back that I really wanted were my Notes of Apple (not sticky).  I could save a few files com.apple.Notes with these files:

    NotesV1.storedata

    NotesV1.storedata - wal

    NotesV1.storedata - shm

    I tried to add the .html extension and open it in TextEdit, and Safari, and I see a lot of code, but none of my actual notes.  I noticed at the top of the NotesV1.storedata file, it says: SQLite 3 format, which leads me to believe that SQLite might serve to open/decode what I so that I can actually read.  I don't know anything about SQLite except that it can be opened and used in the Terminal, and it is already installed by default on my current computer which is a Macbook Pro mid-2012 (9.1).

    Here's a sample of what I see if it helps.

    Someone who knows what I'm doing and who also knows what they are doing can give me instructions step by step on how I can open these files with SQLite in the terminal, or decode, or something.  And no, unfortunately I do not have a back-up hard drive anywhere, and I was using iCloud in time.

    SQLite is a database format.

    Your Mac must have an integrated tool to read these files, it's a Terminal command that has this manual...

    https://developer.Apple.com/library/Mac/documentation/Darwin/reference/ManPages/ man1/sqlite3.1.html

    If it's too hard, you can try an app like...

    https://www.sqlitepro.com/

    .. .or one of the many that are discussed at...

    http://StackOverflow.com/questions/100959/Mac-SQLite-Editor

    You must open the "NotesV1.storedata", you may have to search in different tables to find relevant data, the data will be broken so that the pieces are unique, it is usually how are structured databases, if you need everything intact (as dates change etc) you need to perform queries to retrieve relevant items. Otherwise, you can export in CSV or other formats via this application.

    I recommend you change the original & working on a copy, just in case you save the changes.

    I don't think that this database is encrypted, but it is possible so post back if all of this sounds like gibberish. Also keep in mind that the data should not have images or other multimedia files that can be put in place, sometimes they are kept in databases as files.

    Another option is to find the location that the Notes.app stores these databases in your user account, you may be able to place these copies & get the app to read. Ideally, you would have a similar version of the operating system installed to do this.

  • How to get out a failed upgrade of El Capitan caused by the problems of hard drive space

    Upgrade to El Capitan on a MBAir (2010).  Upgrade failed near the end due to a problem of hard disk space.  Now stuck between choosing the language screen and the warning message upgrade and not can not go out to clear space on the hard drive.  Suggestions would be welcome.

    You are able to restart on your old system or you are unable to do so? You can start in the Recovery HD? You have a recent backup?

    If you are unable to start altogether due to lack of space, then you will be forced to erase the disk and restore of OS X from scratch.

    You can try to start HD recovery and to do this:

    Reinstall El Capitan without erasing the drive

    HD recovery start: restart the computer after the ring, press on and hold down the COMMAND and R until the menu screen appears.

    Repair the hard drive and permissions: at startup, select in the main menu disk utility. Repair hard disk and permissions as follows.

    When the recovery menu appears, select disk utility and press the continue button. Disk utility charges and select Macintosh HD entry indented from the list on the left.  Click first aid button in the toolbar. Wait until the operation is complete, then quit disk utility and return to the main menu.

    Reinstall OS X: Select reinstall OS X and click on the continue button.

    Note : You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest to use Ethernet if possible because it's three times faster than Wi - Fi and more reliable.

  • upgrade the hard drive on hp pavilion dv3500 series

    IAM using HP Pavilion DV3510nr, I want to spend my 1 TB HDD 2.5 "5400 RPM SATA Toshiba, is this possible?

    All responses will be appreciated. Thank you.

    SATA I (1.5 Gb/s) and SATA II (3 Gb/s) are backward compatible for the SATA standard. This means between the hard drive and chip set (motherboard) the transfer rate will be slower both SATA interface.

    Support of repair of hard drives of 500 GB from factory documents, but this does not mean that a 1 TB drive does not work. In my view, that a 1 TB drive will work. My biggest concern is the thickness of the hard drive. Will a 12.5 mm thick disc enters the DV3500 and slipped into the connector. I'm not sure. you'd be better of check you the current thickness of HARD drive and getting a hard drive 9.5 mm.

  • T60p and blank hard drive

    Model: Lenovo T60p 2613-CTO

    Recently my laptop gave me a blue screen with message unmountable_boot_volume.  Even when you use the thinkvantage option there was a blue screen so was not able to update the laptop to the factory by reinstalling the operating system from the recovery partition.

    So I tried to boot the hard drive from another cd to try to repair the hard drive. After resolving some files the chkdsk program stopped and you leave so the hard drive could not be repaired in this way.

    Then I tried ubuntu and it was able to detect the hard drive. I was also able to install ubuntu on it, but in the process that all of the hard disk has crashed.

    I also use a hard disk again now because that showed many areas like went wrong.

    I want to get that back to refresh your factory with xp installed and ability (thinkvantage) of recovery on the hard drive and all that? How can I do this?

    The warranty has expired also. I don't have any CD that could have come with the laptop.

    Welcome to the forum!

    You can contact Lenovo and see if they will sell you a recovery CD set, used to be S & H, $45 + tax.

    Good luck and let us know.
