Accidentally deleted a disk image. How can I restore it?

I don't use time machine and I haven't backed up my computer since I created the disk image. Then it was accidentally deleted and the trash was emptied. How can I find and restore the .dmg? Hopefully it's possible. Thanks!

Hi Mercer215,
If you just trashed the dmg and emptied the trash, the file is actually still there on your drive.
Emptying the trash, just makes the diskspace available again, without erasing anything.
If you have written files afterwards on this disk, it is possible that osx decided to overwrite it to this location, then it is not recoverable.
So if you didn't write much afterwards, you have a good chance with recovery software.
Google for OSX Data Recovery software
such as Disk Warrior.
Costs some money of course. Depending on how valuable your data is?
I've come across this free program, but I must say: I haven't used this yet. Try at your own risk.

Disk Drill
maybe read some reviews about it first
Good luck !

Hi!
Usually, you can click on the Trash folder, locate the email you deleted, and then right-click on it or drag it to restore it to your original location.
If you need more specifics:
Would you please clarify which email service (Gmail, Yahoo!, Outlook.com, etc.) you are using? Are you using Thunderbird?

I hope that solved your problem!

paul dave,
to reïnstall Mavericks on your 13-inch Mid 2012 MacBook Pro, you can try booting into Recovery mode by holding down ⌘R as your MacBook Pro starts up. Eventually it will show an OS X Utilities menu on the desktop; select Reïnstall OS X from that menu, and follow the instructions which it provides to reïnstall it onto its internal disk.

Pre-Installed iOS Apps cannot be Deleted
1) Check in Restrictions... Settings > General > Restrictions

3) If no joy... Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen

I have accidentally made iCal go "offline" - how can I restore it?

I have accidentally made iCal go "offline" - how can I restore it?

First check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that Installing Apps is set to On. If it is, then
Look on all your screens and inside all your folders because you can't delete it. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so. (You may want to take some screen shots of your screens first so you can use them to restore your app arrangement later.)

My sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile., my sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile.

My sister sync all my contact to her phone with my apple id and then delete all of them how can i restore all my contact?

It sounds like she deleted them all from your icloud account. If you have an iTunes backup, try this to possible recover your deleted contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4108
If that doesn't work, you might be stuck as Apple doesn't usually have a backup plan for intentional user deletion. You can try to call Apple though and see if there is anything else they can do to try and recover that deleted info for you.
Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with.

I have accidently deleted my icloud acount, how can I restore it?

Just log back into iCloud and if you have at any point backed up it will download and restore.
If you backed up to iTunes on your computer then connect them and go through iTunes to restore.
If you have no backups, it's probably all gone.

Delete encrypted disk image - how to ?

Folks,
I need to delete an ecrypted disk image I created some time ago. I frankly don't know what is in there and have not checked it in some time. Furthermore, I have forgotten the password, which I must have changed - because the one that is in my keychain does not open it.
So how best to do this ? I am reluctant to just drag it into the trash. In addition it is 40 meg I would like to get back. Can anyone help ?
Thanks

Just trash the disk image file (.dmg).

I accidentally deleted my unsold item how can i find it to relist it

I accidentally deleted one of my "unsold" items. I want to relist it but it is no longer in my unsold items list. It had "no insertion" fee so I can't even find it in my invoice activity. Is there any hope or do I have to start over on the listing.

depending on how much time has elapsed since the listing was deleted, you can retrieve a deleted item for up to 60 days. On the left side of your eBay page under the heading "Sell", click on "Deleted" which gives the option to browse for Sold or Unsold and the option for time frames from "Last 24 hours" to "Last 60 days"

Accidentally deleted my photo album - how can I get it back?

I accidentally deleted my photo album in iPhoto. Now it's gone.
I have a backup on an external HD.
But when I start time machine and go back to the last backup, I can only find all the photos, but not the albums. Can please anyone help? Thanks

Since the albums are just pointers to the images and some extra information, they don't really exist separately, but are stored in the database.
The best plan is to restore the whole library from the backup and re-import any added pictures.
(Congratulations on having a backup!)
You could use time machine to create a *duplicate* library, remove everything from the duplicate except the photo book and the images it contains and then use the third party iPhoto Library Manage go merge the duplicate back with the original, but that sounds like too much work for me. 8^)
