Woke up to find that , the file I left downloading through the night was not here afters hours of downloading time and bandwidth .
I discovered a very disturbing unacceptable "Blocked may contain a virus or spyware"..MAY !!!
I am mad against Mozilla because I do not have the time to re download. Here is my question:
Is there a "Vault" or a "quarantine" folder where I can recover this file??
(I know that the source of such messages is Google and that in the future I will uncheck a line on the options' security tab.This is not my problem.)
My problem is: Can I find it somewhere and recover it without re-downloading??

Unfortunately the file is not stored anywhere on your harddrive. It has been deleted entirely.
If you think this file block is a "false positive" and that the file is actually safe, you could do one of the following:
(1) Download the file using a downloader add-on that bypasses this security check. I heard about this in another thread but haven't tried it myself (and also, I don't know which add-ons to trust for this!).
(2) Disable the Safe Browsing feature temporarily to get the file, then turn it back on. There is a checkbox in the Options dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
On the Security tab, it's the "Block reported attack sites" checkbox. The other checkbox relates to phishing sites and I don't think it affects downloads.

How to get back missing files - time machine problems

3 weeks ago, I bought a new iMac (let me call it A) and put everything from my old iMac onto it using Migrate Assistant via WLAN. It worked fine, but when I found out 2 days later that my 'new' iMac (A) had just been replaced by the 2013 iMac, I was really annoyed and contacted the store. They agreed to change it and so today, after the hourly time machine backup, I disconnected the external hard disk and deleted what I could off the machine that was going back to Apple. Plugged in the brand new iMac (B) today and when prompted, got it to transfer data from my time machine backup. However, although the programmes are there etc. the 'last backup' it used was the one from 20 September, the day before I first connected it to the (A) iMac. And so a lot of documents are missing. When I go onto time machine, it just has a lot of blanks inbetween 20 September and today, although it had been backing up on that 'new' iMac (A) every hour it had been on, but it seems that none of these have been saved. Now it has done a couple of backups today, so there are some new backups under today, but before that, just blanks until 20 September. Firstly, can I get the missing files back? And secondly, what has gone wrong and what should I do to time machine to make sure it doesn't do this again? Thanks!!!

Hi Guys,
I would really like to know, if anyone has an answer to this because I would like to be able to re-download some of my podcasts that I deleted to clear up some disk space.
Thanks very much,
John

I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives. Later renamed external HDs. I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive. I'm not really sure how to get those source files back

I imported different trips to different catalogs on different external hard drives. Later renamed external HDs. I want to combine catalogs and have my source (NEF) files all together on one drive. I’m not really sure how to get those source files back and get rid of the extra long path to where the source files are now located. If I re-link files to their current catalog (many different paths to files in same catalog) can I merge (import catalogs) into one master catalog? Will the new (Master catalog) have the correct link to the source file? If not, how or can this be done?
I have tried to explain my situation as clearly as I can. Do you understand my situation?
This maybe something you don’t have time to help me with. If not can you suggest somewhere I can get an answer? I really need help. PLEEEZZZ HELP ME.

Is there any solution (other than buying
I really think 'buying' is the best solution on this one. Ideally, you would have at least five internal hard drives.
System
Projects
Cache/Scratch
Media
Exports
Use externals and network drive only for backup.

I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.

How do I get back the File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

how do I get back the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help" line of text that I could click on for options that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

I did that (I think I did) however the confusion is that I get only part of the menu and not the most important menu items like "file" "edit" etc. with all the drop downs. It is so freaky - my other computers have no problem like this and I and show the menu bar or not just like you described. I really doubt anyone really understands my problem with it. I took some screen shots of the good computer version and the bad one so someone can "see" exactly what I am seeing. This may be a one of a kind gremlin issue, LOL. Anyway, without those menu items, I am very limited on the usefulness of FireFox on that computer so I have to rely more on Chrome for those features and use the FireFox with Billeo and other tools that still work. Someday it may magically fix itself, LOL.
Of the two images, one is the good computer and the other is the bad. The bad one shows the only way to see the menu items however they disappear after I am done with the custom menu and no other time can I get the items to "appear" it is like they are there but cannot get them to show when in the normal menu bar mode.

I don't really understand your comment about "sing of tubes in RED which is wired". But if you are referring to the display of iTunes and the USB port that is an indication that you must restore your iPhone by connecting it to your computer via USB and then using iTunes on the computer to restore it.

HT4910 Problem, I reseted my iPhone 4S and now I don't know how to get back files.

Problem, I reseted my iPhone 4S and now I don't know how to get back files. I bought WhatsApp and some other games with money. Can I get them back? I have iCloud account.

Not sure what it is you are asking, but you can redownload apps from the purchased section of the app store.

I had to manually download the new version of itunes.. via tools, it gave me 4 items to download and i did not download all 4 compenants. Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that contains tools so i can redownlaod all of them.

I lost my old iphone and have a new 5s.. i need to sync to itunes. i had to donwload manually via tools but i didnt download all four files. now when i plug my phone into itunes it says there is an error bc i didnt download all the files. so when i go into itunes now and check for updates it says its up to date. the problem is with the phone support file i didnt download.
Does anyone know how to get back to the pop up that has the music player update and itunes update bc this is the only place i have seen "tools" to be able to manually update all four files....
***IF i completely uninstall itunes and reinstall will it still have all my songs, photos, apps etc... bc i need to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back

this is a follow up from the profane post earlier....
i have done this twice in two other posts..
here is my problem.. i started off trying to update itunes, it failed twice and said i needed to install manually via tools.
the only place to get to tools is the pop up box that appears when you click check for updates.. if there is an available update then the pop up shows up with the quick time and itunes files to download. so i finally figured that out. i clicked on tools and manual update, four files were saved to a file. Apple mobile device support, another one similar, itunes, and another one i cant remember. I only downloaded the itunes file seeing as though thats all i needed to accomplish in the first place.
so then i restarted my computer bc you need to reboot and then reopen itunes for update to take effect. once i have itunes back open i plugged in my new 5s which i am trying to sync to my computer to get all my stuff back bc i lost my previous phone over the weekend.. once i plugged the phone in an error stating i needed to unistall the apple mobile device support and itunes and then reinstall. well i dont know where those files were originally stored on my computer AND since my itunes was updated, just not the other 3 associated files, when i click check for updates it says its up to date and then pop up containing the quick time and itunes does not pop up thus i cant get back to the tools tab to manually save the 4 files again.
so i was just going to uninstall itunes all together and then i thought well what happens if it erases all my photos apps songs etc... which would defeat the whole purpose in the first place of me trying to sync my new phone to get all my stuff back.
so i literally have no idea what to do at this point.. if you have read this you are probably just as confused as me...

Lightroom - how to restore backed up files (not Lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another?

How to restore backed up files (not lightroom catalogue) from one external drive to another.
I recently backuped my photo files from one external drive to another. The backup (carbon copy cloner) pointed to some corrupt files on the original drive.
I have deleted those files and am finding good copies of them in Time Machine backups.
I want to get rid of the original external drive; use the recent backup as my main external and then back it up onto a brand new drive.
What I am not sure about is how to point lightroom to the backups so it knows to look on the new drive instead of the old drive and all those exclamation marks and question marks go away.
There are close to 60,000 images in numerous folders all with one 'parent folder.'
My best guess is from Lightroom Help - Create and Manage Folders - Locate Missing Folders
Can I point to the one parent folder and all the subfolders will come back?
Is this the process to recover files into lightroom and will there be a problem with so many photos?

How do I back up files and reinstall original disks on my Power Mac G-4 (2000)

How do I back up files and reinstall original disks on my Power Mac G-4 (yr. 2000). I know that sounds basic but I have very few techno skills. So please "talk down" to me. I had a newer PC (2005) but the hard drive crashed and I am trying to resuscitate this old mac until I can afford to buy a new one. I am in the middle of writing a book (based on Steve Job's life) and must have SOMETHING to write with. Anyone have a better one they can loan me? I am in Maine on the coast. BTW this machine seems to have trouble reading or formatting most CD-disks. Can anyone recommend a type and brand that works well with this model? Thanks for any assistance anyone can render. Here is what I have:
Machine Name:          Power Mac G4
Machine Model:          PowerMac3,4
CPU Type:          PowerPC G4 (2.9)
Number Of CPUs:          1
CPU Speed:          467 MHz
L2 Cache (per CPU):          1 MB
Memory:          768 MB
Bus Speed:          133 MHz
Boot ROM Version:          4.2.8f1

Why do you want to reformat the drive? Is it because the machine is running slow?
Be sure to backup you important files, like the book, daily.
The cheapest approach would be to try to figure out why the machine is running slow. Be sure to try safe boot.
You may want to run these "standard" fixes if the problem persists.
1) Check the amount of free space on your harddrive. You should have a several gigs free.
2) You should run disk utility
      Macintosh-HD -> Applications -> Utilities -> Disk Utility
      a) verify the disk
      b) update your permissions.
3) Try a safe boot.
     Shutdown your machine. Hold down the shift key. Poweron. Wait awhile; wait awhile while you harddrive
     is being checked.
     http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1455
4) Another way to correct filesystem problems is into single use mode.
     This page will tell you how to get into single user mode.
     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1492
    Basically, you hold down the command + s key then powering on your machine. The command key
    has a little apple symbol on the lower left. It is between the alt/option key and the space bar.
4) You may want to run applejack to clean up your machine.
      http://applejack.sourceforge.net/
6) Run hardware diagnostics. It's good for a sanity check.
The older versions of ccc were donationware.
Here are two utilities for making a complete backup of your internal hard drive. I've recommend using one of these so that you can create a bootable system on your external hard drive. ( PPC require a firewire connected drive. ) Once created, you can run your system from the external drive. Hold down the option key on your keyboard then power on your machine. This will bring you in startup manager click on the drive image you wish to boot then click on the arrow key to the right.

Preview background is transparent on PDFs, how to get back to white?

I don't know how I did this but somehow I must've messed around with a setting because now all of the PDF's I open in preview have a transparent background instead of the white default background. This makes it very difficult to view PDFs. I know how to make a background transparent to a png file in preview but no clue how to get back the white background as the application default background. Please help, I'm completely stumped! Please see example in dropbox link below.

You are a lifesaver! I knew I messed around and did something in the settings and this must've been it. Thank you so much! I can finally read my PDFs again

How to get back "Bookmark All Tabs" in menu ? Please if you don't want it (still quite some ppl want because it's usefull), at least allow to get it back trough Preferences (or at least about:config)

How to get back "Bookmark All Tabs" in menu ? Please if you don't want it (still quite some ppl want because it's usefull), at least allow to get it back trough Preferences (or at least about:config)

Some menu entries in the main menu bar are hidden if you use the mouse and only appear if you use the keyboard to open the menu (Bug 626825).
You can see the difference if you use Alt+F to open the File menu or other menus like the Edit menu (Alt+E) and Bookmarks menu (Alt+B) and compare that to what you see if you use the mouse to open the menu after you have made the menu bar visible by tapping Alt or by pressing F10.
* "Bookmark All Tabs" (Shift+Ctrl+D) no longer shows in the Bookmarks menu unless you open the Bookmarks menu via the keyboard (Alt + B).
* "Bookmark All Tabs" can be accessed via the right-click context menu of a tab on the tab bar.

BAD IDEA
You want one backup (ie Time machine) and one (or more) data archive of just all your raw files (drag and drop, or cloned etc.)

How to get back iWork apps if I removed them by mistake.

How to get back iWork apps if I removed them by mistake?
Note that I bought my mac pro retina in the first week of December 2014. Yosemite, Numbers, Pages and Keynote were already installed. By mistake I removed the three apps by dragging them into trash. If I log into the Appstore, I see that Pages, Numbers and Keynote are not available for free now.
How do I get them back?
PS: I want to get the genuine versions without resorting to illegal means or taking advantage of bugs.
Thanks in advance.

Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location. OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. 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.
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using 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. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
