Help! Need camcorder video recovery!
I mistakenly erased my video off of my hard drive camcorder. That's the record of my newborn son. Wife is going to kill me! Can I get it back!! Please HELP! Thanks Don
The first thing you should keep in mind is: Don't take any new videos with your camcorder after you lose videos from it, or your lost videos will be overwritten and can't be back anymore.
That's really sad to lose those precious videos, especially about those good memories that can't be back again. Yes, camcorder recovery for mac users can give you sweet help to reecover deleted videos from camcorders on Mac, but to find a professional and safe one is not that easy. There are many recovery tools brag about how easy and powerful that their programs can recover all lost files on Mac. In order to get one that works well as you wish, we humbly recommend you Camcorder Photo Recovery for Mac(compatible with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite, 10.9 Mavericks, 10.8(Mountain Lion), 10.7, 10.6, or 10.5). If you are using Windows os, you can use Photo Recovery for Camcorder (compatible with Windows 8.1/8/7/Vista/XP). How to make sure that this recovery can do well for you? There is no way better than to try it yourself. Practice always can say everything.

This camcorder photo recovery can recover videos from Camcorder of any type:
• Recover files from Canon camcorder
• Recover videos from JVC camcorder
• Undelete videos from Panasonic camcorder
• Unerase files from Sony camcorder
• Restore video files from Samsung camcorder
• Recover files from camcorders of other models
How to recover deleted videos from camcorders on Mac?
Step 1. Connect your camcorder to Mac
Connect your comcorder to the computer with a card reader or a USB cable. Then run the program and go to"Lost File Recovery" to begin the camcorder data recovery work.
Lost File Recovery: It allows you to recover files deleted by Command + Delete, or emptied from Trash, and lost files from formatted or corrupted partitions. This recovery mode is recommended first. It enables you to recover lost data with original file names and folder structures.
Raw Recovery: If Lost File Recovery cannot find your wanted files, you can try Raw Recovery, but the recovered files here have no original names and folder structure.
Step 2. Select the camcorder for recovery
The program can detects all drives connected to the computer. After entering the Lost File Recovery/Raw Recovery, choose the disk or partition where you lost your files and click "Scan" to find lost data.
If you don't want to recover all the contents from the camcorder, you can set the file type by clicking "Select File Kind"/"Filter Option". Then choose photo, audio or video from the "File Type", and even the specific file formats, if you have a requirement. Then continue the work via "Scan".
Step 3. Start to recover camcorder video files on Mac
When the scanning completes, it's the time for comcorder video recovery. All the files recoverable are listed in the scanning result with well-organized file type. Check and recover those you need.
One thing should be paid attention is: Don't try to save the recovered files to your camcorder's card or hard drive where you lost them. Get them a new place such as the computer's hard disk or other external devices.
The last thing, due to the inconvenience of viewing videos on the camcorder or camera, it's better to backup them on your computer for watching, and the mistaken deleting will get less.

Welcome back to our weekly Top 10 Android App Updates column, where we take a look at the most upgraded apps for the week. I've found that one of the best ways to discover useful apps is to look at what people are actually updating, and not focus on which apps have the most installs.
To find the most updated apps, I turn to AppAware. It's a great tool that shows me which apps have active support from their developers and sometimes reminds me of an old app that I might have removed long ago. Make sure to install it so your activity can help determine our weekly top 10 list.
This week I'm going to do things a little different. I normally filter out apps that have over 10 million installs, but I'm going to make an exception for popular apps that had significant updates. I hope you enjoy this weekly feature and discover some apps that you might find useful.
Twitter – Version 3.2.0
What's new in this version:
- Updated design and improved relevance of Discover stories
- Activity in Discover tab shows who your connections follow, updates to their lists, and which Tweets they retweet and favorite
- Spelling suggestions and related searches in search results
- Username autocomplete in search
- New push notifications for when your Tweets have been retweeted, favorited, or when you have new followers
- New languages: Traditional Chinese, Swedish, Norwegian, Danish, Finnish, Polish, Hungarian, Thai
Most of you have the Twitter app and know what it does, but this week they rolled out a pretty big update. The design of the Discovery tab got a makeover to show more activity, push notifications received more control, and eight new languages were added.
PhotoWall Live Wallpaper – Version 1.4
What's new in this version:
- _NEW_ Instagram photo feed! (beta)
- Reduced memory use, increased performance.
- Lots of bug fixes. A couple crash fixes.
PhotoWall is a cool app from top Android developer Larva Labs that shows your photos as your wallpaper. This week the app saw an update that added Instagram support, and increased performance. It's free so check it out if you need a new wallpaper.
Taptu – Version 2.1.3
What's new in this version:
- New features now available:
- Synching across multiple devices: Log in to Taptu using Facebook, Twitter, Linked or G Reader to synch between your different devices. When logged in, your streams and stories that you've read or bookmarked will be there for you.
- Create a stream for everything: If you are looking for something in particular, you can now create a keyword-based stream.
- Speed and performance improvements: faster and more fluid, Taptu has gotten a significant boost in speed.
TapTu saw a minor update last week, but they are back again with a new look. Their major new feature this time is user accounts that let you set up your streams on any Android device and have them automatically populate on another device. There is no need to register with Taptu, as your user account just requires you login to your Google, Facebook, Twitter or LinkedIn account.
Antivirus Free – Version 2.11
What's new in this version:
- Scan SD card — Enhanced file scanning feature.
- Tune Up — allows you to view your phone's battery and app storage consumption to help you optimize your mobile device's resources. It is available for users of the Free version of the app for a trial period of 14 days.
- New look — Fresh new look added for an improved look and feel.
- Widget — We removed the app widget following feedback for users and are now working on a new and improved widget with better functionality and ease of use.
Some say Android doesn't need antivirus software, but there's no harm in being extra cautious. AVG just updated their Antivirus Free app with a new look, new widgets, and a Tune Up feature that lets you optimize your device's resources.
AfterFocus – Version 1.0.2
What's new in this version:
- Supports moving to SD-card
- Crash-fix
- Fixes the bug not showing drawing lines in Galaxy Nexus
- Supports more phones

LifeWay Donates $50,000 to IMB Disaster Relief Efforts
One of the world's largest providers of Christian products and services announced Tuesday that it plans to contribute $50,000 to the $1.4 million already donated to the International Mission Board for disaster relief efforts in South Asia. In addition to the corporate gift, 125 employees of LifeWay Christian Resources sent individual gifts to the IMB's relief fund.
"Our LifeWay family is concerned and compassionate," said James T. Draper Jr., president of the South Baptist Convention (SBC) company. "We feel it is a great privilege to share in this relief effort through giving to a fellow SBC entity. We have great confidence in the relief efforts of the IMB and know that 100 percent of our gifts will go to minister, both spiritually and physically, to Asia's poor."
Draper also said that at a time when national news reports have questioned the ability of governments to properly and effectively handle the massive monetary donations, he was confident that the IMB was equipped to minister to hundreds of thousands of survivors and help rebuild their lives.
Gordon Fort, vice president of overseas operations, International Mission Board, said, "We are deeply grateful to Dr. Jimmy Draper and the staff of LifeWay for the excellent relationship that we share and the support that we receive from them in accomplishing Kingdom work."
"Our heart-felt thanks goes to them for the recent financial gift that will be used to minister to the survivors of the tsunami disaster," Fort added.
Because gifts through SBC's Cooperative Program and Lottie Moon Christmas Offering pay for basic support and administrative expenses for IMB missionaries around the world, board personnel can use all gifts designated for relief efforts on actual relief ministries. No relief funds will be used for administrative or promotional purposes.
Although LifeWay and the IMB are both Southern Baptist Convention entities, LifeWay does not receive funds from the Cooperative Program; therefore the gift to the IMB is completely self-funded.
Currently, IMB personnel are focusing on delivering food, water, medical supplies and other essentials to survivors in heavily damaged coastal villages in southern Thailand and Malaysia. Assessment teams also are headed for other areas devastated by the tsunami.
For updates on IMB tsunami disaster relief efforts or to send a donation online, visit www.imb.org. Also, donations designated "Asia Earthquake Disaster Relief" can be sent to the International Mission Board, P.O. Box 6767, Richmond, VA 23230.

Posted on September 11, 2013 in Meet the Playtesters
I always get a bit bummed the couple days after a Grand Slam ends. For two weeks straight I had hours on end of awesome tennis to watch (good thing Davis Cup is back in action this weekend), and now football is the only thing I see when I turn on the TV (which, isn't a bad thing, go Niners, it just isn't tennis!). Anyway, to recap our US Open picks, my picks were knocked out by the 4th or 5th day of the US Open, while Karly and Jason were the only two playtesters who called the US Open 2013 Champions — and Tiffani was oh, so close with her Gasquet pick! This week, since I don't have any live tennis to watch today, I decided to bug my fellow playtesters and ask them,
"Who from the WTA or ATP would play doubles with? (We already answered the mixed doubles question, so stay within your gender on this one!)"
Check out their answers! (more…)

LONDON and WALLDORF, GERMANY — IBM (NYSE: IBM) and SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced that Shell has reached a milestone in its downstream business IT infrastructure by having successfully delivered one of the largest single SAP upgrade implementations in the world, covering operations in 35 countries and four global businesses and Shell business service centers, and impacting more than 29,000 users. Improved functional capabilities, which are highly integrated and cost effective, will enable Shell businesses to work faster and more effectively. Furthermore, new functions allow for future business growth and expansion into areas that have the potential to deliver competitive edge, including mobile enablement through mobile apps and interactive self-service portals.
Shell's "Downstream One" programme aims to simplify and standardise its downstream business processes, which cover all operations from manufacturing to marketing and sales of oil products around the world for domestic, industrial and transport use. Simplified business models, standardised processes, roles and responsibilities were implemented prior to the global implementation of SAP solutions across all countries in a phased manner. Now Shell's downstream staff can access the same system, with common data, common processes and a uniform basis for reporting.
Working alongside the Shell business, both IBM and SAP were engaged to provide expert support for the upgrade implementation. IBM provided business consulting services to lead the analysis of the existing processes; the Business Transformation Services group within the SAP Consulting organization provided an upgrade value assessment to identify areas of improvement based on their knowledge of new functionality and SAP solution roadmaps. IBM also led an IT asset refresh, which saw Shell switch to the latest IBM Power 7 Series (P780) servers in order to deliver greater computing power and improve IT efficiency. With the delivery of the upgraded system, IBM will continue to provide ongoing maintenance support.
Robert Wilkinson, IBM Global Business Services Lead for Shell's global downstream business, said: "IBM is dedicated to developing intelligent ways to make operations more efficient and cost-effective, while developing smarter solutions that benefit the continued growth of our clients' business."
Experts from the SAP Active Global Support (SAP AGS) organization delivered various SAP MaxAttention services to help safeguard Shell's upgrade, complementing experts from SAP Consulting embedded within the upgrade project team.
"Today's announcement is a significant milestone for SAP, in that we helped Shell's vision become a reality, in one of the largest SAP application upgrade projects in the world," said, Gerhard Oswald, member of the Executive Board of SAP AG. "Our success was only achievable through the great teamwork among Shell, IBM and our own experts utilizing the 'Near Zero Down Time' approach to ensure that total business downtime criteria of 48 hours was achieved."
The programme delivery contract has been annually renewed since 2004 and is part of a multi-phase project spread over 10 years to transform Shell's downstream business. IBM will continue to work with Shell on the global rollout of the Downstream One Global SAP programme, which will conclude with the final major markets of Australia and the U.S. fuels business in 2014. Expertise from SAP Consulting has been a vital component present throughout the programme providing knowledge and value together with visibility of latest solutions and roadmaps.

This chart, published in the 1942 Greenfield Recorder-Gazette newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, shows the dramatic increase in the Industrial Payroll Index from 1933 to 1941, as Greenfield industries geared up for the World War II (WWII) war effort. Historians agree that World War II (WWII) was ultimately won on the home front. America's ability to produce massive numbers of airplanes, ships, trucks, tanks, and other items required to fight a global war, enabled the Allies to grind the enemy into submission. Greenfield, Massachusetts residents served in the armed forces, helped maintain morale on the home front, and worked in defense industries. The small town of Greenfield had a surprisingly large concentration of industries vital to the war effort, and employed an estimated 7,000 workers. Greenfield was even protected by an anti-aircraft battery, able to shoot down German bombers. A high percentage of industrial workers were considered so essential to production that they were deferred from the draft.

Platform comprises all hardware, software and validation IP necessary to design ARM11 microprocessor-based products
CAMBRIDGE, UK — Oct. 14, 2002 – ARM [(LSE: ARM); (Nasdaq: ARMHY)], the industry's leading provider of 16/32-bit embedded RISC microprocessor solutions, today launched the ARM11™ PrimeXsys™ Platform at the Microprocessor Forum in San Jose, Calif. The ARM11 PrimeXsys Platform is powered by the new ARM1136J-S™ microprocessor core which was also announced today (ARM Sets Performance Standard with Two New ARM Cores…Oct. 14, 2002), and provides a standard framework for all ARM11 core-based designs.
The ARM11 PrimeXsys Platform provides system developers with all of the hardware, software and verification IP necessary to design a system-on-chip (SoC) solution for smart digital devices running RTOSs and open operating systems (OS), such as Linux, Palm OS v5, Symbian OS, VxWorks and Windows CE.net. The hardware is tightly integrated with the ARM1136J-S microprocessor core and its software development tools include extendible software models of the platform that allow software designers to work in parallel with hardware development. In addition, the PrimeXsys Verification Methodology enables faster integration, verification and validation of a hardware and software system, further reducing time-to-market.
As with all ARM intellectual property (IP), the ARM11 PrimeXsys Platform has been designed for ease of reuse to enable developers to leverage multiple product designs from the same base point.
"We are committed to providing highly integrated IP platforms to our Partners. The PrimeXsys platform standard framework provides significant quality gains as well as cost and time savings, enabling our Partners to bring leading-edge digital devices to market more quickly," said Ian Thornton, PrimeXsys product manager, ARM. "The ARM11 PrimeXsys Platform provides the best possible starting point for ARM11 core-based designs; it has been developed alongside the core itself and all hardware and software has been integrated and validated."
"Embedded developers are demanding feature-rich, high-performance, low-power microprocessors for Windows Powered Devices," said Keith White, senior director of the Embedded and Appliance Platforms Group at Microsoft Corp. "Combined with Windows CE .NET, the availability of the ARM11 PrimeXsys Platform provides original equipment manufacturers with a cost-efficient solution for quickly developing the next generation of smart devices."
"The world's leading handset producers take advantage of Symbian OS and the ARM architecture in developing their highly-differentiated and advanced data-enabled mobile phones," said Mark Wilce, vice president, Product Management, Symbian Ltd. "The ARM11 PrimeXsys Platform and the ARM1136J-S microprocessor core have benefited from the on-going collaborative development relationship between Symbian and ARM to optimize architectures for the mobile market.

Flyers' Snider cuts ribbon on fourth refurbished rinkby Adam Kimelman / NHL.com
PHILADELPHIA -- Ed Snider has owned the Philadelphia Flyers since they came into the NHL in 1967, and built them over the last 45 years into one of the League's marquee franchises, including a pair of Stanley Cup titles.
But what the 79-year-old Snider is doing now is even more rewarding.
The Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation (ESYHF) cut the ribbon Friday on the fourth ice rink it has refurbished in a unique partnership with the city of Philadelphia.
Tarken Ice Rink, in the Oxford Circle part of the city, joined the Laura Sims Skatehouse in West Philadelphia, the Scanlon Ice Rink in Kensington and the Simons Rink in West Oak Lane as new areas of opportunity for kids in the city to have places to learn hockey as well as further themselves academically.
"When you talk about the Philadelphia Flyers, that's my business, my profession," Snider said. "It's something that I'm proud of, and I want to see us get another Cup. I look at this as something entirely different. This is nothing to do with my profession. This has to do with my desire to help inner-city kids. This is what it's all about. It means a tremendous amount to me."
Mullens' unlikely road to the NHLBy Tal Pinchevsky - NHL.com Staff Writer
Hockey's greatest folk tales generally involve a frozen pond or suburban rink. They don't usually take place in the mean streets of New York City. READ MORE ›
Founded in 2005, ESYHF has used hockey as a way to help at-risk, inner-city students in the Delaware Valley learn hockey skills while also helping them academically. The foundation serves 3,000 children between the ages of 5 and 17 at the four Philadelphia rinks it manages as well as at the Flyers Skate Zone facilities in New Jersey that house ESYHF programs.
"We just use hockey as the hook to gain and hold the attention of these kids to engage them deeply and teach much greater life lessons," ESYHF President Scott Tharp told NHL.com. "We have a very large-scale academic component to what we do and an award-winning, nationally acclaimed life-skills curriculum that we also engage the kids in."
The foundation's mission changed slightly in 2008, when Philadelphia mayor Michael Nutter announced the closing of three of the city's five public ice rinks. That's when Snider and his foundation stepped in and signed a 20-year contract with the city to operate the rinks. Part of that deal entailed the overhaul of four of the rinks, including adding roofs to allow for year-round skating, and add classroom space for the academic portion of the program.
Nutter lauded the unique partnership, which has allowed the four renovated city rinks to serve more than 1,500 children.
"[ESYHF] stepped up and made sure those other three [rinks] were open," Nutter said, "and subsequent to that we entered a partnership that they're working with us at all five. Nothing like that has ever happened."
Nutter, who serves as president of the U.S. Conference of Mayors, believes the partnership between the ESYHF and the city can serve as a national model.
"More service, more skating, more equipment, more service -- all very positive and beneficial to the city at virtually no cost to us, it really is a natural model," Nutter said. "I've been on a number of national news programs when people talk about the challenges that cities face … I've been in a number of situations where I've used the Ed Snider Youth Hockey Foundation partnership with the city of Philadelphia as a model. This is a model that can be replicated all across the country, the kind of things that we should look at."
Snider said he'd love to see other cities replicate what his foundation has created in Philadelphia.
"We would love to see this type of thing grow throughout the country -- not by us but by others emulating what we've done here," he said. "It's actually been a success beyond my wildest dreams. It's sort of catapulted us when four rinks were going to be closed and we came in to manage them and then we made this contract with the city, a 20-year deal where we could afford to remodel these, so it really has expanded beautifully. If it can happen in other cities, I'd love it. If we could consult with other cities, I'd be happy to do that."
For now, Snider is committed to improving the situation for at-risk kids in Philadelphia, and eventually points beyond. He said the goal of the foundation is to reach 10,000 kids in the Philadelphia region.
"We want to expand consistently, but we don't want to expand too fast because we want to have a quality product for the kids and we want to make sure we can do a good job," Snider said. "We want to expand throughout the Delaware Valley, and we're starting in that direction. We want to go to places like Chester and maybe Allentown and places like that. So far we're doing it very slowly. We wanted to set up Philadelphia first, but we're making great progress. I think through the years you're going to see it become a much bigger program."
That program already has helped kids graduate from both high school and to college and junior-hockey programs, with more to come as kids get involved at earlier ages. And for kids who would not have had the means to go to college, higher education now has become more than just a possibility.
"College has been an option, but I think I have a better opportunity to go to a bigger, better college," Kaseir Archie, a 15-year-old center who plays on the Snider Hockey U-16 team, told NHL.com. "Playing hockey, maybe I can get a sports scholarship, or even a scholarship from the program."
Diquan Jackson, a defenseman and Archie's teammate, said when -- not if -- he goes to college, it will be a school that has two important things.
"I'm going to pick a college that has hockey at it," he told NHL.com. "I'll also look at the academics of it, too, because that's what Snider Hockey teaches you."
That's just what Snider wants to hear -- hockey skills leading to education and life skills.
"We're using ice hockey as something we know and as the hook to get these kids interested, but more importantly to us is the educational component," he said. "The fact that our kids matriculate at 96 percent as opposed to 50-something percent in the general population means a lot to us. We help them with their homework, we give them life skills, we have a teaching program, and at the same time they have to get good grades to continue. If they don't get good grades they can't continue in the program. We get letters from parents all the time about how their kids are doing so much better in school and that's really the goal of this organization. That's our real goal. If someday one of the kids becomes an NHL player, that'll just be icing on the cake."

Merchants Square Off With Visa, MasterCard Over Swipe-Fee Settlement
A $7.25 billion class-action settlement reached last year was supposed to put an end to years of fighting between the retail industry and payments companies Visa and MasterCard
Instead, it reignited a long-running battle over credit-card transaction fees that played out again Thursday in federal court, with big-box merchants and retail trade groups making their case for why the deal should be blocked.
They argued that the settlement would harm--not help--merchants by essentially immunizing Visa and MasterCard from future lawsuits over their business practices, a point that the payment companies say is grossly overstated.
"This settlement is worse than losing at trial," Henry Armour, president and chief executive officer of the National Association of Convenience Stores, said during an all-day hearing in U.S. District Court in Brooklyn on whether the agreement should be granted final approval.
Proponents of the deal have heralded the settlement as a best-case outcome in a case where the plaintiffs faced significant hurdles to proving their claims.
"We are talking about an extraordinarily large sum of money," Craig Wildfang, an attorney representing a proposed class of as many as eight million merchants, said during the hearing.
Judge John Gleeson, who is presiding over the case, said he would take the parties' arguments under consideration but didn't say when he expected to issue a ruling.
Billed as the largest settlement of an antitrust class-action case in U.S. history, the deal reached in July 2012 would end years of litigation brought by merchants against Visa and MasterCard and several large banks that issue the companies' credit cards, including Bank of America Corp. and J.P. Morgan Chase & Co.
Lawsuits filed by trade groups and several retailers in 2005 accused Visa and MasterCard of conspiring with banks to set so-called swipe fees on credit-card transactions at arbitrarily high levels. The fees, also called interchange fees, are set by Visa and MasterCard and flow to banks that issue cards as revenue each time a customer swipes a card at a merchant.
In an effort to put the litigation behind them, the payment networks and banks reached an agreement to pay $6.05 billion to the proposed class of merchants and temporarily reduce swipe fees by an amount equal to $1.2 billion.
Despite claims by merchant trade groups that there is widescale opposition to the settlement among retailers, Mr. Wildfang said there is overwhelming support for the deal. Only a tiny fraction of merchants eligible to participate in the settlement objected to the deal, he said.
Judge Gleeson peppered both opponents and critics of the deal on their arguments during the hearing. At one point he noted the settlement is a compromise between the parties in which neither side is likely to achieve everything that they're seeking.
"This is a lawsuit and to get relief you've got to win," Judge Gleeson said, adding that his comment wasn't meant to send a signal about his views of settlement.
In addition to monetary relief, Visa and MasterCard also agreed to drop long-standing rules that banned merchant surcharging, or the practice of tacking on a fee to a customer who pays with a credit card. The ability to surcharge was a right that merchants have long said could help them recoup their costs for accepting cards and put pressure on Visa and MasterCard to lower their rates.
The rule change took effect in January, though many retail executives have said surcharging wouldn't work for them because it would alienate their customers.
In addition, at least 10 states, including Texas, Colorado, and New York, had laws banning or limiting surcharging at the time the settlement was announced. Since then, legislators in several more states have introduced bills to pass similar laws, though attorneys supporting the deal said Thursday that most of those efforts have failed.
Opponents of the deal have also complained that if they accept American Express (AXP) cards in addition to Visa and MasterCard cards, they would be unable to surcharge because of settlement provisions that require merchants to surcharge all card brands equally. They argue that because American Express has more-restrictive rules on surcharging, they won't be able to engage in the practice.
Judge Gleeson questioned whether such merchants could stop accepting American Express cards as a way to surcharge Visa and MasterCard transactions.
"It is not something we can walk away from," Victoria Donati, general counsel for Crate & Barrel, said at the hearing, noting about a quarter of the retailer's customers pay with American Express cards.
Mr. Wildfang, the class attorney, said critics of the deal were motivated by their "political agenda" to get Congress to legislate credit-card swipe fees.
In 2010, Congress passed legislation that cut in half what banks could charge merchants for accepting debit cards. The rules, which took effect in 2011, didn't affect credit-card swipe fees.
Visa and MasterCard executives have argued that the legal release included in the settlement would only cover their existing rules or similar rules they put in place in the future, while opponents have interpreted the release to mean that all future claims against the companies would be barred.
"We can't settle this case and then get sued again," Kenneth Gallo, an attorney representing MasterCard, said.
Judge Gleeson summed up the feelings of some industry executives, analysts and retailers who are skeptical that the swipe-fee debate will go away regardless of the settlement's fate: "Is this ever going to come to an end without comprehensive legislation?"
