Can I retrieve a document I accidentally deleted

I had flyers and other docs that I delted accidentally a couple weeks ago. Can I retrieve them?

Hello captronmusic,
Thank you for contacting Apple Support Communities.
It depends on how you deleted the documents.
See the following:
OS X Mountain Lion: Remove files and folders from your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10628
Specifically:
If you change your mind
Click the Trash icon to open it and then drag the item out of the Trash, or select the item and choose File > Put Back.
This applies if you havn't emptied the Trash.
Regards,
Jeff D.

    The safest way is to not use the Inbox for long term storage. Make folders for your important and keeper messages and move them out of the Inbox and into those folders. This also keeps your Inbox for the purpose it was designed for.

  • I upgraded to windows 8.1 and now I can not retrieve my documents

    I am using a HP pavilion. Was asked with a pop-up to go to microsoft app store to update windows 8 to 8.1. I did that and now can not retrieve my documents. The printer needed reloaded, too. I tryed reinstalling microsoft office, but didn't work.
    This question was solved.

    Hi hainesblum, welcome to the HP Forums. The documents that you cannot retrieve after the upgrade to Windows 8.1, were they in your 'Documents' folder? It is possible that your 'Documents' folder has been moved to 'Documents' under the 'Skydrive' folder.
    If that doesn't help, please let me know the model number of your computer.

  • Can I retrieve contacts that have been deleted?

    Can I retrieve contacts that have been deleted?

    You posted this in the BlackBerry space, so I am assuming you have a BlackBerry of some sort... if you've used desktop manager or BB Protect or another backup application, then you can retrieve contacts from the most recent backup.
    Otherwise, you may be out of luck, unless their information is in your recent call list, or recent texts.
    I use BB Protect to make automatic backups of my data each week, (with no interaction needed by me, it just happens) so if something goes crazy, I have, at most, a week's worth of new stuff to enter.  BB Desktop manager also makes backups, manually - you need to connect the phone to your computer via USB and make a backup, or restore from a backup.

  • Protect documents from accidental deletion/modification by site administrator

    Hi,
    I have several documents in a SharePoint site that should never be modified/deleted (except under extraordinary circumstances), so I'd like to make sure that even when logged in as Site Administrator I can't delete/edit these documents accidentally (though
    obviously I'd be able to grant myself permission to do so). I've tried just about every combination of permissions I can think of (at site collection, site, list and document level) but to no avail.  Surely I'm missing something obvious?
    The closest I've got is putting them in a library requiring check out and having them checked out to the system account, but that's far from ideal.
    Thanks
    Dylan

    that's not easy thing you trying to achieve. One thing manage your recycle because if a document deleted from a user, its still recover able in 60 days or what ever setting you select.
    here is if you want create a event reciever: http://www.the14folder.com/2011/07/20/prevent-accidental-deletion-sharepoint/

  • How to retrieve from cloud something accidentally deleted from computer

    I deleted songs from my iTunes folder to free disc space as iTunes kept freezing up. The problem is that I accidentally deleted a couple that I want back. They still show in my iTunes library but it cannot locate them in the folder. Updating match briefly gives me a cloud by the song which immediately disappears. If I click to delete them from iTunes, it warns me that they will be deleted from the cloud which I don't want to do. How do I get these back? They are available on my iPhone and other computer for download. I though the purpose of Match was to free space on our hard drives and keep stuff stored ion "the cloud". I don't see the point if they can't be sent to the cloud and retrieved easily as needed. I have already tried turning match off and then back on again.

    If you want to remove tracks from the iTunes library you should always do it through iTunes; never delete the files from the Finder because then iTunes will still have a pointer in its DB to the file that no longer exists. This causes exactly the trouble you are experiencing.
    To download the tracks from the cloud delete the "track" from the iTunes library by highlighting the track, or tracks, and typing Option+delete on the keyboard. Do not hide the track in the cloud. You will now be able to download the track from the cloud.

    iTunes Match is not a backup service and should not be relied on as such. You should read this: FAQ: Why iTunes Match Can Not Be Used as a Backup. The purpose of iTunes Match is to give you access to all your music on all your devices from almost anywhere. It is your responsibility to backup your personal data, including all your iTunes Store purchases.

  • Can't see backup library after accidentally deleting library

    In trying to free up some hard drive space - it was almost empty - I accidentally deleted my entire iPhoto Library, emptying it from the trash. Thankfully I do back up to an external hard drive, and have moved the backed up library back to my Pictures folder. However, I cannot see the library in iPhoto, even when i Option-start the app and "Choose" that library. I only get 95 photos that i have imported since the accidental deletion and moved to that back up folder after re-copying it.
    Any ideas why I can't see the Library in iPhoto even after choosing it? I'm not going to have to go through and import every photo am I? (I hope not as they are stored by year/month/day in hundreds of folders).
    I would also like to know how to get this to work as I have ordered a new iMac today, and will want to choose the same Library on it too.
    Thanks.

    HI roger,
    Navigate through the iPhoto Library folder and see if all your photos are in there. I just want to make sure that the backup library does indeed have your photos in there. If it does, and iPhoto still can't see your library, maybe a data file got messed up.
    In that case, you can create a new library and import from the old very easily by following the next instructions below.
    Close iPhoto
    Rename your messed up iPhoto Library to "iPhoto Library_old"
    Drag this library to your desktop
    Hold down the Option key and launch iPhoto
    This is the window you will get
    Create a new library or choose a library to open
    Choose to create a new library
    Once this new empty library is open it is time to import the images from your old library
    Go to File>add to library
    Navigate to the old library on your desktop and highlight it in the window, then click the "import" button.
    iPhoto will start importing the images from your old library
    This is what to expect:
    Your images will be imported in nice dated rolls. (make sure your view is set to sort by rolls to see it) There are a couple of caveats to this. You will get rolls named "Originals" These rolls will contain your video clips and your original images that you had edited. If you had RAW files they would be in those rolls too (I don't do RAW, so I don't know for sure) Delete what you don't want from those rolls. You will also get the jpeg pointer files to your video clips imported. They will just be jpegs and will not point to the video clips anymore as iPhoto made new ones when the clips were imported again. You can delete those. they should be in a roll right next to the newly imported video clips so they are not hard to find. The thumbnail files don't get imported as iPhoto makes new ones when the images are imported.
    Once all you images have been imported, check through the library and make sure everything looks ok.
    You can now start making your Albums, and do your keywords or any other organizational steps.
    You can also delete the old library on the desktop.
    It is also a good time to backup this new library to CD/DVD by burning the iPhoto LIbrary folder in the Finder, or copying the iPhoto Library folder to an external drive formatted for Macs, or copying the iPhoto LIbrary folder to an iPod.
    Good luck!

  • How can I download iBooks if I accidentally deleted it?

    I think I accidentally deleted iBooks on my Macbook Pro after I downloaded Mavericks, is there anyway to get it back or re-download it?

    Hey RobertMBSC,
    Thanks for the question. If you are missing an application that is required by OS X, it may be necessary to reinstall Mavericks:

  • Retrieve email if I accidentally delete the complete mailbox?

    I was setting up my new Mac 27" and when I saw all the emails I deleted them because they were on my 20" mac and now all the emails are gone.
    Can you retrieve them from the cloud?  Thery are very inport emails for shipping notices and payment etc.  i

    Great.   I just called the Apple support line and they were able to retrieve the missing INBOX.  Now keep in mind this was for a @ME.COM address so I don't know if it will work for other email addresses. 
    Thanks Apple support for getting all my missing emails back, Great job.

  • HT1146 Can I find an email I accidentally deleted while I was composing it? nd how to do it?

    How can I find an email I was composing and accidentally deleted?

    Unless you saved it as a draft, it is gone.
    Return to what you were writing with it fresh in your mind and try your best to re-create it. You could always compose in TextEdit, saving along the way and then copy and paste it into an email when finished.
    Incidentally your profile says 10.0.x No way! I guess it is at least 10.6.8.

    If it's on iMessage go to another iMessage device that's currently set up with your account and it might be there. If it's a normal text, go online or contact your provider to see your incomming and outgoing messages.
