Know How to Recover Boot Camp Volume of Mac!

Tuesday, December 14th, 2010

Boot Camp is a utility from Mac that enables users to install Windows operating system on Intel-based operating system. This utility does it using a tool called ‘Boot Camp Assistant’ which creates Windows based partition on Mac hard drive without deleting any existing Mac OS X information. Once this Boot camp is created Mac user can easily switch between Mac OS X and Windows just by holding ‘Alt’ key during the start up. Although the process of creating partition is very easy but at times it may results into complete data loss if the below mentioned activities occurred –

  • If the Mac hard drive becomes damage or corrupt.
  • Operating system faces any installation faults.
  • Any external hard drive is connected.
  • Mac hard drive does not have sufficient space.
  • Sharing option is turned on etc.

In most of the situations user encounter error messages related to that like something like –

“Your startup disk cannot be partitioned because verification failed. Start up your Macintosh from a Mac OS X Install Disc and use Disk Utility to repair your startup disk…”

In such scenario if the data stored in the hard drive becomes inaccessible and the inbuilt utilities fail to resolve the issue then in order to recover the inaccessible and lost data back user need to use third party OS X Data Recovery software which will effectively recover all the Mac data and will store it in a safe and secure place from where it can be accessed easily. So, just use this tool and say by-bye to inaccessible and lost data.

Missing iPhoto Library Due to Broken Faces

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

Very often users complain about the Face corruption issues particularly while working on large iPhoto libraries on Mac. Faces fail to categorize images which is causing huge issues for the users. To understand the situation let’s consider a scenario where when user clicks on the name of the toolbar the photos comes with the full size. User may find two options at the bottom, first is Add Missing Faces using which user can name many faces. But when users go to the cork board it says no faces found followed by an intro screen which is not the same as mentioned in the tutorial.

In this situation the Faces need to be scanned in the iPhoto Library. But doing this will loose the entire work done with the faces. The steps that user need to go through are as follows –

  • Quit iPhoto
  • Go to your Pictures Folder or where the library is actually kept
  • Right Click on it and from the resulting menu section select the “Show Package Contents”. A Finder window will open and the Library will be exposed
  • Find these files: face_blob.db and face.db
  • Move these to trash
  • Now make no changes and restart iPhoto
  • Then allow it to complete the face scan again.

In most of the cases after performing the above mentioned steps face corruption issue gets resolved, but if it doesn’t then the only way to resolve the issue is by using iPhoto Library Recovery software which will effectively resolve the issue in seconds.

Recover the data loss caused due to the renaming the home directory of Mac OS X

Friday, February 5th, 2010

MacBook Data RecoveryIn Mac OS X operating system home directory is created automatically when any new user creates a new user in the MacBook. The home directory is the area of Mac OS X file system which is accessible only by that user. User can store all his/her confidential data’s in this directory where other users don’t have read or write permission. The home directory separates the user data with system data and thus reduces the redundancy of data. It makes file management operations easy and thus enhances the overall performance of the system. In Mac OS X 10.3 and later, other users can rename the directory without having the authentication details. But in such cases data stored in the Home directory may get corrupted and can further lead to data loss.

So, in order to recover those data MacBook Data Recovery is the best possible way. This third-party software uses its sophisticated mechanism which scans the affected storage media and extracts all the lost data from it. This software is easy to use as any no-technical person can also operate it.
