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

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.

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 --
There is an Asian guy at the Canning Vale Markets who does things on
the spot (I think) with iPhones, iPods etc. Sundays

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
Hi Adrian,
I don't know if you want to try this or just leave it to the guy at the
markets, but in case you haven't seen this clip or similar, here is a youtube
video showing how to change the battery:

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
Just watched tonight's 7.30 on iView, Pedro. Thanks for alerting me it is well
worth a look.

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
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)?
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
Thanks Carlo Kev, it appears that I was using the wrong technique to open it,
being better informed I expect I will be able manage the project OK now.

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
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),
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
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, Rick.

Thanks, Rick.
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

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
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 looks
