Accidentally deleted Bootcamp

So I messed up and deleted Bootcamp from Utilities and I'm having trouble trying to reinstall it. I've looked it up and nothing seemed to work. Now I have my (Macbook Air) reinstall DVDs (both OS and Applications). I used the apps dvd first and reinstalled everything that was on that. Nothing. Tried choosing optional installs on the OS dvd and it's not listed under applications. I tried Utilities under Install Mac OS X, but it didn't let me choose anything. Pretty much wanted me to reinstall the OS it seemed.
Is there anyway to reinstall Bootcamp without doing a full reinstall? I just want to program. Feel free to just link me to something explaining this if I missed it when I tried searching. Thanks a lot!

Your question is about using OS X, not Boot Camp.
You'll need to use Pacifist to extrat/install Boot Camp Assistant.
Consider a) doing backups, b) installing a nice small emergency OS X on external drive partition (30GB is plenty) and use the rest of the drive for backup volume.

I accidentally deleted my windows partition

I had created a 100GB partition for windows on my 500GB hard disk from BootCamp and accidentally deleted the windows partition and I've got that 100GB free that I cannot use anymore. The partition cannot be resized and that's it. Please suggest a way in which I can get rid of that free space and resize my hard disk without losing ant data.

there are 2 options here,
1) use bootcamp assistant to delete your failed partition and reinstall windows. or,
The OP has already deleted it, can't delete it again
2) using disc utility open your hdd (use the original branded name, not the short name of the same drive)
select "partition" highlight your failed partition, click the minus button then click apply. this will give you your 100GB back. from here you will be able to start over with bootcamp again if you wish.
Once more, the partition is already deleted, how can it be deleted again?

I accidentally deleted my recovery partition. Any way to get it back without taking it to the Genius bar?

Like I said... I accidentally deleted the recovery partiton while in Windows (bootcamp), thinking it was a partition on an external drive.
NOTE: Don't mess around with the system and drives when you are tired!
Now, is there wany way of etting it back without buying a utility for $99, or visitin the Genius bar? And If I have to take it to Apple, will it get wiped? With those two Q's asked, out of curiosity I tried booting with Command R and was able to get to the re-install option for Mountain Lion (but didn't actually do anything). With the Cmd R option and live download, do I really need the partition?
Thanks.

Unless someone has come up with some third party utility, I fear you will have to at least reinstall the OS X partition. At worst, you may even need to redo the entire drive and hose the BC setup as well.
First try cloning the OS X partition onto an external drive, wipe and reinstall OS X, the migrate the stuff on the external clone back in (this recovers the apps, files and configs. Not the OS).
Command-R is working cause the Mac is pulling the Recovery boot code off Apple's servers. If you're stuck somewhere with no reasonably speedy Internet, you'd be stuck. Hence the convenience of having a local version of the thing.

Accidental deletion of data in contacts application file

While trying to follow instructions from an application web site to correct doubled listing in my contact file, I accidentally deleted the date in the contacts file under applications rather than the contact storage file. (settings/applications/manage applications/contacts. The Droid seems to work OK but I am wondering what I deleted and if I need to take it in and have it somehow restored. Does anyone know what data was in the Contact file?
Thanks

It should just be a simple system file that will not affect the use of the device. However if it does begin to affect the use and operation the device you can always perform a factory reset to clear it back to like new.

Accidentally deleted exchange account and lost contacts....please help

Hello all,
I have a unique problem and I'm worried that it may not be fixable but hopefully it is. Here is the long detailed explanation.
I was trying to start setup for an outlook account to sync my business emails to my phone (which I never got around to doing) I noticed that under mail/contacts etc. that there was an exchange account.....with it being early in the AM and still in bed I accidentally deleted it. I noticed immedietly after that my texts were coming in with numbers rather than contact names. I don't usually use the start mail (blue with white envelope) I had it archived away.....because I have the gmail app which was much more user friendly. Whoever set up the exchange account must have been at the verizon store when i bought the phone possibly. I did not do this myself. Anyways I have a few more problems that makes this issue worse....for some time now my iCloud has been saying it does not have the appropriate amount of storage......(And I assume is not backing up my contacts) I've never really had to use iCloud before so I think this may not help either. I looked on gmail and only certain contacts....older ones were on there. I went to a verizon store and he helped me re-add my exchange account which im assuming was through my gmail email (Only email I really use) and certain contacts seemed to pop up. After leaving the store I realized that a lot of the newer contacts I've added were still missing......I'm not sure what else I can do to recover these contacts if anything but I am now up for suggestion. This is basically where I'm at right now.....not totally missing everything but missing a good deal. Also would like to get my cloud up and running again so this doesn't happen again. I haven't hooked to iTunes yet but I never really did that regularly so that might not help either. Like I said I am up for any suggestion......maybe a way to look up my exchange account if by chance it wasn't under my gmail email account......Thanks in advance!

How can I access data from accidentally deleted user?

I was given a MacBook Pro by a family member. I set myself as the Administrator, but could not get rid of the previous owner's name on the Home folder.
In my attempts I accidentally deleted something that made the entire computer unaccessable. I can boot up, however, all the work and applications I installed are unaccessable. I can't even open Preferences.
I used TechTool Pro to start up and explore the drive, and found that the previous owner's name was on a folder with a red-circled minus sign. The data (considerable) was inside, but I can't access it.
Is there any way I can get access to that data? I slaved the laptop to my iMac and transferred the folder (with 32 gb of data).
When I tried to open it I got the message: "The folder "sandy....." can't be opend because you don't have permission to see its contents." I used Get Info on the folder and changed Sharing and Permissions to Read and Write, but still no access.
What can I do, if anything to gain access to that folder?

Accidentally deleted bonjour from my computer. iTunes will not open. Help Please.

Accidentally deleted Bonjour from my computer. iTunes will not open. Running Windows XP. Help please.

Uninstalling and then reinstalling your iTunes should also get your Bonjour reinstalled.
For the reinstall, use an installer downloaded from the Apple website:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
... or you could get it back via your Apple Software Update for Windows.
If you'd prefer not to uninstall iTunes, try the following procedure.
Download and save a copy of the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe) installer file to your hard drive:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
Download and install the free trial version of WinRAR:
http://www.rarlab.com/
Right-click the iTunesSetup.exe (or iTunes64setup.exe), and select "Extract to iTunesSetup" (or "Extract to iTunes64Setup"). WinRAR will expand the contents of the file into a folder called "iTunesSetup" (or "iTunes64Setup").
Go into the folder and doubleclick the Bonjour.msi (or Bonjour64.msi) to do a standalone Bonjour install.

I just accidentally deleted a video on my iphone 5... Is there a chance I can get it back? If so how?

I just accidentally deleted a video on my iphone 5... Is there a chance I can get it back? If so how?

If you backed up the phone when the video was still on it, restoring the backup will get it back. However, anything new on the phone since the backup will be deleted.

How can I login in to icloud and retrieve a note which I have accidentally deleted on my ipad?

I Have accidentally deleted a note from my ipad and I know it has been backed up yesterday onto icloud but I cant seem to login into icloud to retrieve the note? the icloud.com address just throws up Add Icloud to this device, when I know it is already on it!

You can't use mobile Safari on a device to log into icloud.com. To get to your data, you must use the associated apps. For contacts, use the Contacts app. Only with a computer's browser can you log into icloud.com.

I accidentally deleted Garageband on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8. The new version of Garageband is only compatible with 10.9 and above. Is it possible to still get the older version? OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD for my computer

I accidentally deleted GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, version 10.6.8. The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above. Is it possible to still get the older version? OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?

The new version of GarageBand is only compatible with 10.9 and above.
If your Mac can run MacOS X 10.6.8, it probably can be upgraded to Yosemite, if you don't have to stick to Snowleopard for other reasons.
Is it possible to still get the older version?
Amazon or eBay are still selling iLife '11 installer disks, and you could reinstall GarageBand from these DVDs. But it will be expensive.
Have you checked your backups, if you can restore GarageBand from a backup?
OR, can I get another copy of the startup CD that came with my computer so that I can reinstall GarageBand?
Sometimes the AppleStore Support will replace missing installer CDs for a fee.

How can you restore photo stream photos back to Apple TV after accidentally deleting from your iPad

After accidentally deleting photo stream photos on my iPad, this deleted photo stream photos on my Apple TV. How can I restore these photos back to my Apple TV and also to my iPad? Suggestions welcomed

If you have a backup of your iPad prior to the date of deleting your photos, you can find them. Otherwise, you might be able to find them.
If you do have this backup, then you'll have to restore your iPad to that point.
If you had a Mac with iPhoto, then when you connected your iPad, iPhoto would store the photos separately from Photostream.
I despise Photostream. It's turned off everywhere on my system. It is one of the most useless pieces of junk that Apple has foisted on my Mac and iOS. But hey, that's just my opinion.

How can I resend an Apple Store gift card? The email was accidentally deleted.

I was sent an Apple Store (NOT an iTunes) gift card over email, but I must have accidentally deleted it. I know you can resend iTunes gift cards, is there anyway to resend a gift card for the Apple Store?

I know that I can do that. I don't feel like spending any of my money or going and buying another card. I also doubt that im ever going to need more than 50 bucks on itunes. Im asking for a solution that doesnt require much effort, nor money, nor time. Also most stores sell iTunes gift cards, not just apple stores. And I do have a credit card... but thats beside the point.

I accidentally deleted my backup from icloud on my iphone and now when I go into icloud in the settings it doesn't give me the option to backup my iphone to my icloud account anymore? How can I get my phone to backup to icloud again?

I accidentally deleted the latest backup for my iphone 6 on icloud like a week ago and now I can't backup my phone to icloud at all. When I go into settings, then into icloud, and then into manage my storage it does not give me the option to backup my iphone to my icloud account anymore. How do I get the "backup my iphone now" option in the manage my storage part of the icloud setting? Thanks.

Hey guys I figured out how to solve the issue.
You need to go to settings>general>restrictions.
Turn off restrictions and your iCloud and twitter will start working.
Enjoy.
