Good and Free Way to Retrieve Deleted Photos

ellen0729 — Fri, 18 May 2012 09:09:41 +0000

Have you ever deleted a file no matter it is a photo, office document, music, video. Etc in your computer, USB drive, an MP3 player or a memory card form your photo camera? If so, relax, chances are good that you can recover those files, as long as you haven’t taken any more photos or written anything else to the card because the deleted file is still existing on your devices. You just need a nice tool to get it back.
Recuva is a photo recovery freeware Windows utility, created by the same guys who developed CCleaner. It helps you recover accidentally deleted files, whether they are photos from your last holiday trip or an important essay due next week for your Literature course. And you should note that deleted files are not actually deleted; they’re simply “marked as deleted”. This means that if you have the right tool, you are able to recover those files.
Recuva has two ways to recover files: one is a step-by-step wizard that guides you through the recovery process, and the other one is the so called Advanced mode. The Recuva wizard asks you a couple of questions about your deleted files (what kind of files they were, and where they were stored) and then searches the drive for them.
The Advanced mode is intended for the more tech-savvy. You select the drive to scan and the file type, and let Recuva do its job. All recovered files are displayed in a list, with three tabs where you can preview them, see extended information about them and check the file’s header, respectively.
How to use Recuva to recover the deleted photo? Take the Advanced mode for an example. In Recuva’s main window, type all or part of the file name into the Filename or path box. Select the location you want to search from the drop-down box at left, and then click Scan.
Next, go to select the check boxes beside the file or files you want to restore. The color of the dot next to the file name indicates your chances for a successful recovery (green for excellent, orange for acceptable, and red for unlikely).
Finally, click recover. Select a destination for the recovered files (ideally, on another drive). Click OK. So Recuva provides a very simple way to retrieve your photos which have been deleted by mistake.
However, you should know that as a freeware, it has its own advantages and shortcomings.
Pros: Very easy to use
Gives you a last chance to restore deleted files
Deep scan option
Cons: Results are not guaranteed
Scans can be slow, especially Deep Scans

Of course, most of us just play the free version, there is another paid version “Pocket Whip Pro” in App Store, priced $1.99, and you totally can afford it. In this edition, you can record, select a song in your playlist as the background music, and there are three theme schedulers for you to choose.

What can iOS 6 do for Maps

bobbymo — Thu, 17 May 2012 09:56:18 +0000

Apple will release ios 6. Recently Maps become Apple’s new target.
Maps is clearly an important part of iOS,but Apple’s let it languish even as other parties—like Android—have leapt ahead. If iOS 6 does indeed bring a new version of Maps, (free ipod to mac transfer)there are some features that might help it catch up to, and overtake, the competition.
Siri: Earlier this year, Google added the ability to specify a navigation destination by voice, but Siri’s natural language interactions are potentially an even bigger boon. While the virtual assistant already lets you specify a navigation direction, it can’t yet step you through the process, or help you, say, change your destination mid-trip. Plus, it’s a nice improvement over most GPS units’ synthesized voices, which lack much of a vocabulary beyond “Recalculating.”
Dashboard mode: The current directions interface for Google Maps on iOS is sufficient for cases when you’re navigating from the passenger seat, or even on foot, but if you’re driving solo, it’s downright dangerous. Siri’s voice navigation might help diminish that risk, but in situations when you do need to go hands-on, a more dashboard-friendly interface would be quite handy. And if you guessed that Android already has something similar, you get a gold star.
Turn-by-turn: Apple doesn’t particularly mind playing catch-up to its competitors, especially if it means taking the time to create a fully thought-out implementation rather than be first to market. (icloud transfer)While there are plenty of viable third-party GPS apps for iOS, they’re often pricey additions with hefty downloaded map packs. And it has to be galling for the company to lack a feature that Google built into Android back in 2009. This is one place that Apple’s mobile competitors have had the advantage, so it seems a likely area for Apple to focus its efforts.
I am Apple’s fans.Just wait them Uncover the mystery.

5 Best Screen Recording Software for Mac OS X

alice302 — Tue, 15 May 2012 09:22:42 +0000

Need to do some screen recording on your Mac? Want to make video tutorials? Need to show a client something your working on whilst you explain the concept?

There are many reasons that you might want to record the screen of your mac and there are just as many screen recorder mac apps out there to do it, and we are going to learn some of these powerful software in this article.

Screenflow
ScreenFlow from Telestream takes screencasting software to the next level. With a beautiful and simple interface, ScreenFlow uses all of Snow Leopard\’s core animation features to the max, providing an environment for you to capture, edit, and output your screencasts with ease.

Want to add an animation? Just click a button and make your changes. No confusing waveform or curves to adjust. And even when dealing with the most CPU-demanding effects, ScreenFlow handles it with ease. No need to render your clip when editing. No need for dropped frames. ScreenFlow truly redefines what good screencasting software is. For a look at some of the things that make ScreenFlow revolutionary.

Copernicus
Copernicus free screen recorder software, it allows you to record screenshots, very short videos, but no sound. You can take images and store them in a virtual photo gallery or just save them on your Mac. I recommend using this application for taking images, when writing a tutorial, where screenshots are needed or whenever you want to demonstrate a particular moment on screen.

Screen Mimic
Screen Mimic is screen recorder program aimed at creating SWF Flash movies, FLV Flash videos or MOV Quicktime files. This app is starting to verge on the more expensive side, although doesn’t appear to offer a huge leap in functionality for the price. It might be worth considering if you particularly like the way it works, and is probably worth a try.

iShowU
iShowU allows you to capture and record anything you can see on your screen, along with audio from any compatible source. Ever been in the situation where you wanted to show someone what was going on, but couldn\’t? Either the person is not right next to you, not around, in another country (the list goes on). Now just record what you\’re doing and what you want to say, and stick it in an email!

Capture Me
Capture Me offers more options like a floating capture window, which is resizable to different resolutions and provides several output options. As well as Copernicus, Capture Me only provides a screen capturing mode, for taking pictures. A video recording mode – again with no sound – does exist, but with a limited duration of one minute it is useless for recording video tutorials.

Well, after you reading the features of each screen recording program, you can choose the one you need to capture video from screen on your mac.

The Technology Personnel should have the Necessary Skills

data recovery

Skills Data recovery needs

Data recovery is higher industry with a technical content, data recovery technology personnel need to have the compilation language and software application skills, also need to electronic maintenance and mechanical maintenance and disk technology.

First: the software application and assembly language foundation

In the case of the data recovery, the problem of software level accounted for two-thirds of proportion, such as file lost or destroyed, partition table, database destructive, and these need to have the Windows, Linux, of DOS and Mac operating system, and master the data structure of mac operating system, need some data recovery tools and disassembly tool skilled application.

The second: electronic circuit maintenance skills

In the hard drive failure, circuit fault occupy about ten percent of the proportion, most is the resistance burned down and chip burned, as a technical personnel, must have the electronic circuit knowledge and has welding technology.

Third: mechanical maintenance skills

Along with the increase of hard drive capacity, the structure of the hard drive is also more and more complex, head and motor fault has become more common, open quotation technology has become a data recovery engineer must-have skills.

Directory:

A: the reason causes data loss and damage.

1: hardware: circuit boards damaged, head damaged, motor damage, RAID card damage, dish ark damage, and so on.

2: software: partition table damage, and the zoning can’t open, incorrect format, incorrect delete, mistakenly cloning, hacker attacks, virus damages the and so on.

Skills Data recovery needs

First: the software application and assembly language foundation

The second: electronic circuit maintenance skills

data recovery

Third: mechanical maintenance skills

The method to first recover after data loss (soft restoration) :

1: mistakenly formatted recovery method:

Failure causes this:

The most typical fault is redo system and used DOS FORMAT command to disk C for formatting, but finished the system and logo into the system that D or E partition data lost. Such is the reason that cause the problem in DOS format C under no formatting the C but D division or E partition, why will appear this phenomenon? The answer is: disk C is NTFS partitions and D or E is the FAT32 drive, because in the DOS confess less than NTFS partitions, when we use DOS FORMAT orders, in fact it formats C or D E.

B: user or friends will format division carelessly

Data recovery methods: after such fault occurred, the user can remember not to copy any data into division, so as to avoid the data are covered. User can use EasyRecovery, Finaldata, data recovery software to analyze the partition and can rescue part of data. Here is the other guide on how to recover deleted word document with easy.

iPad Wi-Fi + Cellular Replaces iPad Wi-Fi + 4G on Apple\’s Official Website

alyssalott — Mon, 14 May 2012 09:40:43 +0000

What we can see on Apple official website right now is “Wi-Fi + Cellular” not “Wi-Fi +4G”, so it takes so long for Apple to find a word to replace 4G, which is “Cellular”, but this big change can not be seen in all the countries that already have qualification to sell the new iPad.

Consumer organizations in many countries around the world think that the naming of Apple 4G LTE iPad have misled consumers, Apple now is finally unbearable to change 4G LTE iPad into iPad WiFi + Cellular. The new iPad can only support 4G LTE networks in United States and Canada, but these two countries are in the change list. So you see, even iPad is very useful to have fun or to work, and it’s very popular in the world, we can play all kinds of apps and games on it and download many movies for iPad to watch, but people are always very picky to it, certainly they can’t stand this obvious mistake, if this product can’t support 4G in my country, then don’t say it can. After so many complaints, Apple finally corrects it.

Most complaints are from Australia and Britain. I guess users in these two countries have clearer consciousness to protect their rights. This move should appease ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission) and some other folks who believed that the “iPad Wi-Fi + 4G” was misleading customers. Of course, Apple did mislead customers in their advertisements, after all users will be very disappointed when they find out that the new iPad they have bought can’t work at all, can’t access into App Store, can’t download movies for iPad, can’t play games, so certainly people would complain.

Now let’s see the story before Apple taking this move. As you know, while the iPad is certainly capable of 4G data speeds on LTE networks here in the US and Canada, the tablet’s wireless data speeds are generally restricted to 3G in other countries. Soon after the new third generation iPad was launched, users of other countries complained that Apple\’s claims of the iPad having \”4G\” wireless support were incorrect.

Like I said before, now the Cupertino firm has changed the way that it brands the LTE iPad in many countries around the world, including the U.K., Australia, Canada, Ireland and the U.S. The 4G model is now dubbed \”Wi-Fi + Cellular\” in those markets. Apple has even taken things a step further on its Australian site, adding that the cellular-enabled iPad \”is not compatible with current Australian 4G LTE networks and WiMAX networks.\”

The report goes on to state that the renamed tablets have been listed on Apple.com and can be viewed on the Tech Specs section of the tablet. They go on to add that it is not only the online pages that have the rebranding in place, but also in the form of signage across their retail stores.

After all the lawsuits, Apple changes it, or maybe they can do this earlier, they should remember that people have higher expectations on it.

Will Nook Use Windows Operating System?

ellen0729 — Fri, 11 May 2012 10:48:31 +0000

A few days ago Microsoft invested $ 300 million into e-book giant Barnes & Noble, which is seen as signal that Microsoft and Barnes & Noble will join together to compete with the ebook market leader Amazon and Apple. There is speculation that we will soon see Nook eBook to run Windows or Windows Phone 8 system. But I doubt it.
Although the deal will resolve patent disputes between between Microsoft and Barnes & Noble, but the fee that Microsoft authorize Nook can’t be avoided- the Nook are running the Android system. So many people think that Microsoft and Barnes & Noble, Barnes & Noble may simply Nook modified the Windows system.
Nook tablet and e-book is doing well, if Nook the preinstalled Windows Phone Win8, that there should be a very interesting product. Nook and Apple iPad is not in a grade, but it is a strong opponent of the Amazon Kindle, the Nook and Windows eco-system integration will bring about some innovative products, open up new possibilities for the industry.
At first glance, this point of view quite reasonable, but a careful analysis of it to achieve great obstacles, including technical, commercial and user, so that Windows Nook tablet is now almost impossible to achieve.
Let me first explain the technical difficulties: There is no doubt that, if the Nook to be modified a new operating system, you must modify the hardware design, even the bottom of the redesign, the cost of doing so is very high. Moreover, the Android ecosystem is now very mature, while the ability to Barnes & Noble, and not enough in a short time in conjunction with Microsoft Windows ecosystem to reach the level of Android, so turned to rush from the Windows ecosystem are not beneficial on the Barnes & Noble .
Then there is the price factor. Nook tablet the current price of $ 199 (16GB model is $ 249), Although Nook flat panel configuration would be able to run Windows or Windows Phone 8, but may not be very smooth, and Microsoft is the pursuit of consistency of experience. If Barnes & Noble increase Nook configuration, the price will go up, thereby reducing the attractiveness to consumers. Barnes & Noble books sales revenue to subsidize the hardware, otherwise the price will not be able to remain at $ 200.
In addition, there is an impact of price factors, namely the Windows system itself. Using the Android system is free, Windows is not. Microsoft will be free to Barnes & Noble customized version of Windows? This is unlikely, after all, Microsoft has a number of cooperation OEMs like Dell, HP, Nokia, Barnes & Noble difference treatment, will give their partnership to bring discord. Therefore, regardless of the Nook with Windows or Android, Microsoft certainly will continue to be charged a license fee to Barnes & Noble.
Finally, factors of the user. Nook users Nook switch to the Windows system, the Android-based applications can be used not to upgrade and technical support will be a problem, this will annoy the old users of these Nook. Nook has already accumulated a lot of popularity, 60% of users gave it five-star rating, they are in the habit now Nook. If Barnes & Noble hasty changes to the operating system, it will become its burden, many users do not think that the Windows system Nook will be better than it is now.
Microsoft and Nokia Windows Phone ecosystem to establish spending billions of dollars, but it is on the mobile platform has not yet achieved significant results, now is not enough to attract other manufacturers to follow up.
I consider that the cooperation between Microsoft and Barnes & Noble is not primarily in order to create Windows Nook tablet and e-books, but to find a foothold and get some chips in a patent battle with Android in the first books in the field.
Microsoft may establish a strong and complete ecosystem, but Barnes & Noble to support Windows is still too early, it will continue to use Android.

Comedy“The Dictator” Tells You What Real Dictator is

alyssalott — Thu, 10 May 2012 09:42:58 +0000

There are a bunch of excellent movies coming to theatres in next days, and really, it’s hard to decide which one to watch, after all, we just can’t watch every one of them in theatres. So if you haven’t decided yet, why not watch The Dictator on May 16, and it’s not a political film, not a thriller, it’s even not a serious film, it’s a comedy.

And here is the official synopsis: The heroic story of a North African dictator who risks his life to ensure that democracy would never come to the country he so lovingly oppressed, honestly, this synopsis sounds very political, right? It even uses the world “heroic”, but what it doesn’t tell us is what happens next? You may feel a litter ridiculous about the result, he lives in America, meets a beautiful girl and fells in love with her, how romantic! And if you think it’s not worthy of paying money in theatre, right, you can just watch it on PC with dvd copy software reviews, but trust me, it’s more fun to watch with a bunch of people in theatre.

Now let’s see the cast of this movie, Sacha Baron Cohen, Anna Faris, John C. Reilly and Megan Fox, yeah, you know Megan Fox right? The extremely hot actress, so don’t feel strange that this movie rated R for sexual situations, language and nudity. If you have watched the trailer, tell me what impresses you most about the dictator? The mustache or he is surrounded by a phalanx of the hottest female security guards this side of Tripoli? Can you keep a straight face? I bet no one can.

Actually, I think this movie is a regular love comedy from Hollywood, it just the background is a little more different like others. Some one says it is the hotly-anticipated, guffaw-out-loud comedy from the 21st-century’s king of parody. You can experience all those adjectives if you who really General Aladeen is. “I love American films, particularly their fantasy films like ‘Lord of the Rings’ or ‘Schindler’s List,’ ” “I love the TV show ‘24,’ you have it here, but we play it backwards so it has a happy ending.” “On behalf of my dear friend and doubles tennis partner, President Assad of Syria, I want to thank the United Nations for their brave inaction. You guys are amazing.” There are more hilarious lines in the movie, and you definitely want to hear the others.

Now let’s see who is so talented that has filmed this movie, Larry Charles. Dictator is another successful movie from Larry Charles, Borat was pretty damn funny. Bruno on the other hand, was a little over-the-top at points but still managed to make me laugh. That had to be his most controversial movie, and since he was able to get away with that, making a 9/11 joke is like nothing to him now. Larry Charles is a genius, if you haven’t watched his previous movie, you’d better do it now, and in case meeting any problem with DRM protection when watching them, you can have a free drm converter first. About the latest movie, I’ll still check out this movie though. To me controversial humor is some of the best humor.

Look forward to the day when The Dictator lands on theatre, which is May 16.
