How do I recover a folder that disappeared on my bookmarks?

A subfolder in a folder on my bookmarks has disappeared.
I was able to restore the original folder. But the one subfolder has disappeared.

How come even if I click "RESTORE", to the last date I am sure I last saw it, even to earlier dates, that subfolder has totally disappeared. Help!

If you don't have Time Machine enabled on your Mac you'll need to use a file recovery applicaiton like SubrosaSoft FileSalvage. FileSalvage had a demo mode to let you know what it can find and recover before you have to purchase it. However, it won't be able to recover the folder, only the files in the folder.
Other possible file recovery applications can be found at MacUpdate.com by searching there for "file recovery".

How do I recover a folder that has been deleted?

Last night I was burning a backup disc with some important files. The disc was corrupt so it didn't burn. The computer then had an alert that said Media was unreliable. Then when I went to close out of the window it said a newer file called documents is available would you like to update. I clicked yes and it was the wrong documents folder. All my files were in a folder named documents on my desktop. Then it said something about my aliases weren't working so I deleted those as well.
Now I can't find anything that was in that folder.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
It sounds like you should have said no. In the future always backup your data before doing something like that as my FAQ explains:
http://www.macmaps.com/backup.html
I would shut down your machine, and go out and buy a copy of Prosoft Data Rescue and an external Firewire hard drive big enough to recover your hard drive. There is a chance it may still be able to see the data you deleted.

You want a "Drop Box" style folder. You should be able to achieve this by creating a folder and giving it permissions similar to the "Drop Box" folder in your users Public Folder (i.e. write only permissions.)

Restore it from your backups. If you don't have backups now you have a really good reason to start keeping a backup. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. You may also find my FAQ on maintenance helpful.
Basics of File Recovery
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When you delete files you erase only the directory entries, not the files themselves. However, the space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro. Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

Kappy's Personal Suggestions for OS X Maintenance
For disk repairs use Disk Utility. For situations DU cannot handle the best third-party utilities are: Disk Warrior; DW only fixes problems with the disk directory, but most disk problems are caused by directory corruption; Disk Warrior 4.0 is now Intel Mac compatible. TechTool Pro provides additional repair options including file repair and recovery, system diagnostics, and disk defragmentation. TechTool Pro 4.5.2 is Intel Mac compatible; Drive Genius is similar to TechTool Pro in terms of the various repair services provided. The current version, 1.5.1, is Intel Mac compatible.
OS X performs certain maintenance functions that are scheduled to occur on a daily, weekly, or monthly period. The maintenance scripts run in the early AM only if the computer is turned on 24/7 (no sleep.) If this isn't the case, then an excellent solution is to download and install a shareware utility such as Macaroni, JAW PseudoAnacron, or Anacron that will automate the maintenance activity regardless of whether the computer is turned off or asleep.
OS X automatically defrags files less than 20 MBs in size, so unless you have a disk full of very large files there's little need for defragmenting the hard drive. As for virus protection there are few if any such animals affecting OS X. You can protect the computer easily using the freeware Open Source virus protection software ClamXAV. Personally I would avoid most commercial anti-virus software because of their potential for causing problems.
I would also recommend downloading the shareware utility TinkerTool System that you can use for periodic maintenance such as removing old logfiles and archives, clearing caches, etc.
For emergency repairs install the freeware utility Applejack. If you cannot start up in OS X, you may be able to start in single-user mode from which you can run Applejack to do a whole set of repair and maintenance routines from the commandline.
When you install any new system software or updates be sure to repair the hard drive and permissions beforehand. I also recommend booting into safe mode before doing system software updates.
Get an external Firewire drive at least equal in size to the internal hard drive and make (and maintain) a bootable clone/backup. You can make a bootable clone using the Restore option of Disk Utility. You can also make and maintain clones with good backup software. My personal recommendations are (order is significant):
1. Retrospect Desktop (Commercial - not yet universal binary)
2. Synchronize! Pro X (Commercial)
3. Synk (Backup, Standard, or Pro)
4. Deja Vu (Shareware)
5. PsynchX 2.1.1 and RsyncX 2.1 (Freeware)
The following utilities can also be used for backup, but cannot create bootable clones:
1. Backup (requires a .Mac account with Apple both to get the software and to use it.)
2. Toast
3. Impression
4. arRSync
Apple's Backup is a full backup tool capable of also backing up across multiple media such as CD/DVD. However, it cannot create bootable backups. It is primarily an "archiving" utility as are the other two.
Impression and Toast are disk image based backups, only. Particularly useful if you need to backup to CD/DVD across multiple media.

On CS5, how can I recover jpeg images that were Batch Renamed prior to removal from my flashcard?

On CS5, how can you recover JPEG images that were accidentally Batch Renamed prior to removal from a flash card? Is it a total lose or can they be saved somehow?

If they were renamed on the flash card that is a poor practice. If renamed in Bridge the old names can be recovered it you have checked "preserve original name in XMP". If not you are out of luck. But you still have the images correct?

How can I recovered a form that I delete by mistake?

I nee someone help, How can I recovered a form that I create and later on I deleted by mistake? Thank you in advance for your prompt answer

Hi;
I am sorry to say that there isn't any method to recover a deleted form. There is a confirmation dialog saying that this is a permanent deletion to ensure that is what you want to do, once you've confirmed the form is really deleted and not recoverable.
Thanks,
Josh

How to I upload a folder that has multiple files in it?

How do I upload a folder that has multiple files in it? I need to upload an entire folder onto a web page but when I choose the folder it opens it up and becomes individual files instead of just the one folder.

You generally can't upload a folder to a website, but some sites allow you to select multiple files. You'll have to refer to the specific website instructions to see if that's possible.
Alternatively, it might be appropriate to first compress the folder in the Finder using rightclick, then "Compress", which creates a single .ZIP file - then upload this file.

How can I recover a iMessage that was deleted and if not is there a way apple can send me email of all my iMessages in past month

How can I recover a iMessage that was deleted and if not is there a way apple can send me email of all my iMessages in past month

Hi Toniann,
If you have a recent iCloud backup that was done when that message was on the devcie, you can restore from that backup.
No, Apple does not keep your messages, no do they have access to them. That would be a serious invasion of privacy, don't you think?

How to create a smart folder that only selects from a specific directory?

I am trying to create a smart folder that lists all my iPhoto original content in the last few months. I want this so that my wife can connect into the smart folder over the LAN when copying specific photos to her PC.
I am have trouble working out how to restrict the search to only those files that exists in the iPhoto directory. When I look at info for a photo is states "Where: /Users/Shared/iPhoto Library/iPhoto Library/Data/2009/....etc etc".
However if I add an filter for "Where from" begins with "/Users/Shared/... etc etc" it returns nothing. Is there a way to do this?

Find the iPhoto library file.
Right click -> Show package contents.
Double click the Originals folder.
Type anything in the Search box at the top of the Finder window.
In the top of the Finder window, click "Originals".
Click the + (plus) sign next to Save.
Select Kind is Image.
Click the + (plus) sign again.
Select *Created date* is *within last 3 months* (or whatever you want).
Go to the search box and delete what you typed. Don't hit the X to delete the search text.
Now save the smart search.
This is saved in ~\Library\Saved searches. Copy or move it to the desktop where your wife can get access to it.

HT4859 I have unwillingly synced my iPhone to my wife's iPhone. All her information got tranfered to my phone and over-rode all my contacts and data. How do I recover MY date that was backed up on iCloud yesterday?

This morning I ave unknowingly synced my iPhone to my wife's iPhone's data in iTunes. Now all HER information is on my is on my phone and all of my information has been overwritten. How do I recover my data and overwrite her data. My latest backup to iCloud was yesterday. I have not backed up my phone today and have turned off the auto back up feature, hoping I can still retreive yesterday's data. Can anyone help?

Welcome to the Apple community.
You will need to restore your phone and when prompted use the backup that you made yesterday.
Before you do so, you may wish to change your wife's iCloud login details, otherwise you may find that you then overwrite her data. She should have her own iCloud account to avoid this.

How do i recover a folder I replaced

I did a dumb thing and copied a file to my desktop. It said there was already a file with that name and i said replace file. Is there any way I can recover the folder I replaced?

An immediate COMMAND Z will reverse the process. You probably are past that, do you have a backup such as Time machine?.
