Re: Missing Folder in HD

Best of luck Rick, Do you have the Data Rescue 3 Users Guide manual? If not I can email it to you, it is 3.1MB size. It will most likely take hours and hours to scan the Trash Folder (you have had the G4 for many years...lots of trash has been emptied... don't stop it ;-) After DR3 has complet

Yes, this is what happen as Rhonda has clarified "deleted the original file on the G4 and the iMac, and emptied the trash while still TDM, then correctly ejecting the G4" "Data Recovery" has located the folder in Trash and is now recovering the files. This is taking much time to recover so it loo

Re: Missing Folder in HD

Hi Neil, Yes, we know that if Target Disk Mode is used correctly it does not overwrite the original file when you transfer that file to another Mac, as Daniel mentioned previously. The 50GB Folder should have still been on the G4 in its original location. Rick mentioned that he ejected the G4 c

Re: Missing Folder in HD

I find the sequence of events somewhat hard to follow - but have just one observation: If you had the G4 mounted as a target drive on the iMac and then aborted a transfer to the iMac and deleted the destination folder on the iMac then you obviously wouldn't expect to have it on the iMac - but, as

Re: Missing Folder in HD

Rick ... As Daniel has mentioned previously... Backup the G4 before using Data Rescue! Cheers, Ronni On 11/05/2012, at 10:02 AM, Rick Armstrong wrote: > Thanks Rhonda, I have checked all those to no success, so do the "Data > Rescue" now as the trial could "see" the Clients Folder, > Thanks, R

Re: Missing Folder in HD

OMG Rick, When you make a mistake... you really make a mistake! And then you continued complicating the mistake ;-) Why empty the trash until you have completed the transfer and know everything is correct? If the folder is NOT on the iMac and you did NOT delete it from the G4, it still has to

Re: Missing Folder in HD

No it is not on the iMac plus I emptied the trash (if it was in the trash it wouldn't have emptied that quickly) - I unmounted correctly by ejecting. From vague memory the HD has _not _been reduced by 50Gb. Robert has suggested it may be an invisible file and has given me some links (thanks), I

Re: Missing Folder in HD

Hi Rick Is the Client folder definitely not on the iMac? ie not in the location it was being copied to or in the trash? Did you unmount the G4 drive before disconnecting the FireWire cable or just shut down the machines? Does the G4 show the amount of space for the folder the client folder was i

Re: Missing Folder in HD

Yes Ronni, that is correct, via target mode 1. A simple procedure, I could see the G4 HD on the iMac, so transferred the _one_ Client Folder to the iMac (too easy) 2. Then thought I should _copy_ the Client Folder to the iMac because if I disconnect from target mode the folder is not going to be

Re: Missing Folder in HD

Hi Rick, To try and get some clarity on what you were attempting to do... Were you trying to transfer this 50GB Folder from your old G4 running Tiger to your new iMac (that I assisted you with 'offlist' doing a Erase 'Wipe of the Drive' and then a 'Clean Install of Lion', back in March 2012)?

Re: Missing Folder in HD

Not sure what to advise on this one, not having come across a problem like that before. But before I did anything I'd be making a clone of the G4 or ensuring it's all backed up before started. (Like with most jobs, should always ensure a backup is on hand or available before starting). I'm assum

Re: Missing Folder in HD

Ahh. A client's folder. I can see you would be most anxious to recover it. Normally trial versions of recovery software allow you to browse 10 or so files so you can verify that the fully licensed version is likely to do the job for you. If you must retrieve the data there are some data recover

It was a Clients Folder and I have looked everywhere, it is not there in the Macintosh HD. I have used a Stellar Phoenix Macintosh Data Recovery and this seems to have located the folder but I have to purchase the software (about $100.00) ok if it enables me to retrieve all the files in that fo

Re: Missing Folder in HD

Hi Rick, It depends which folder you are looking for of course but if it was your Documents folder, you will find it at [Hard Drive Name]/Users/[Account Name]/Documents Where: "Hard Drive Name" is the hard drive you have mounted in target mode and "Account Name" is your user login -

In an attempt to copy a folder approx 50Gb using target disk from a G4 to and iMac and then abandoning the attempt because I wasn't sure what I was doing am not able to find that folder on the original HD anywhere. I find it hard to believe that I can lose a large folder that quickly. In a

Good after noon all! Some time ago I bought a new battery for my 60 GB iPod Photo but, alas, I have not been able to open the case. It could be that my hands are no longer strong enough to apply the required pressure required to get the tool into it. Can anyone suggest where I could take it to
