Accidentally deleted a sample folder from my trash and need to get it back

Hi there i was wondering if there is any one that can offer some sort of assistance with this problem. I tried to free up some space on my hardrive and inadvertently deleted a folder of samples that are pretty precious to me, and as i am working on a remix at this moment, it has put me in a bit of a pickle.
I have tried using various 3rd party software such as "Stellar Phoenix" and "Data Rescue" both of which do not support rx2 files(rex) unless i provide the hexidecimal info, and when they give me my results there is no way to specify which files i am looking for nor do they make it simple to just recover one folder which in this case is all i am looking for.
Is there any way i can just simply recall this folder? or have i just ruined my career with a click?
From this moment on i shall be using time machine so no need to elaborate on that.
I have leopard.8 and a MacBook (white) if that helps and the file types are aup/aiff/wave/rx2 and patches for synths/fx units and such from Reason.
Any help would be greatly appreciated as i am almost at my wits end.
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 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.

    I accidently removed my download folder from my desktop, how do I get it back?

    I accidently removed my dowload folder as well.  Your tip easily put it back in the dock, but now the folder opens differently. It used to show the most recent downloads at the bottom of a vertical list of icons. Now, a huge folder opens up in seemingly random order. How do I get it to go back to the previous preferences?

  • I accidentally deleted a folder in the trash and need it back

    I had a problem where my local folders were located under Trash and have been trying to fix it. I deleted the local folder while in trash and can't get it back and it had a lot of info in it

    Ask the app developer. That's not an Apple product. I suspect that if it wasn't backed up, it's gone.

    Reinstall OS X.
    Reinstall Snow Leopard without erasing the drive
    1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
    Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the installer.
    If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
    2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
    If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer.  Proceed with reinstalling OS X.  Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files.  After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.
    Download and install Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1.
    Reinstalling Lion/Mountain Lion Without Erasing the Drive

Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
    Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu.
    Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion: Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Continue button.
    Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

    /var is a hidden folder, so you mustn't remove the folder.
    The only solution is to reinstall OS X. If you have OS X Lion or Mountain Lion, use OS X Recovery > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4718
    Hold Command and R keys while your MacBook is starting and reinstall OS X. You won't lose anything. If you have a backup, you can restore it after starting in OS X Recovery instead of reinstalling Mac OS X, so you will save a lot of time

    If you mean you accidentally removed the icon for iMovie from the Dock (the array of icons at the bottom of the window), you can add it back easily.
    Open the Applications folder (if you open it from the Dock you may then need to click the Open in Finder icon), locate the iMovie program.
    Drag the icon for iMovie down to the Dock, somewhere between the icon for Finder and the dashed line toward the right.
    Wait for the icons at that spot to move aside, then drop it in.

  • I accidently deleted my ipod app from my iphone - how do I get it back?

    I somehow deleted the ipod app from my iphone - how do I get it back.

    You cannot delete it. 
    Since ios 5, it is called "Music".
    If you do not see it, then it is likely on anohter page or in a folder.  Check.
    You can reset the homescreen layout if you do not find it.
    All of this is covered in the manual.

    I made a purchase of an album on iTunes...somehow I deleted the whole album from my iMac and now when I go back to my purchases it does not give me the option to download the whole album again, instead it gives me the option of plaing them...please help!!

    Where are you looking to download them from ? You might be able to redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your Mac's iTunes. If that album shows there but doesn't have the cloud symbol against it for redownloading then that implies that it's still in your iTunes library
