Can i retrieve files i put in the trash

i deleted files but i want them back how can i retrieve them on my macbook pro

If you didn’t empty the Trash, drag them out.
If you have a backup of them, restore them from it.
If neither of those is applicable, try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

  • How can I retrieve files OR re-initialize the time machine...

    After deleting a file on my time capsule, I can't retrive some older files. I see the multiple windows up to a certain date, the rest of the windows are black (and I can't access them). Is there a way to repair the time capsule, and if not, how can I re-initialize the disk and start from scratch with a new full backup? Thanks.

    A deletion on the TC cannot be recovered without removing the disk and using a recovery utility.. even then if it is inside a sparsebundle I am not at all confident a recovery software can do anything about it.
    Pondini in his FAQ which are required reading before you start playing around manually doing deletions in TM.. makes clear it is not wise..
    Q12, 20 http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    To erase and start again, use erase in the airport utility.

  • Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied?  Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

    Is there any way to retrieve photos that were put in the trash can and then it was emptied?  Or is there a way to move photos from an imovie to iphoto?

    If you've emptied the trash, ehtn no. However if you have a backup, like Time Machine, or a recent backup copy of your photo library you could recover the photos from the trash.
    The answer to getting a snapshot form iMovie depends on what version you have.
    I should add it technically may be possible to recover the emptied trash, but if you really want to do that you would need to download a utility software that can attempt to recover deleted files. Do it soon before you start writing more data to that disk. At the moment I don't have a recommendation for such a program. Maybe someone else out there will offer suggestion.

  • Iphotos were put in the trash by mistake. How do I retrieve them?

    Over 1700 images including photos were put in the trash by mistake.  How do I undo or retrieve them?

    Best solution is to restore your backup - this is exactly why you must always have a good one
    Short of that you will have to start over (unless your can restore each file to its exact location prior to being deleted - probalby not possible) - drag the currently bad library to the desktop until yo finish just in case you need something from it, depress the option key and launch iPhoto and create a new library - drag the largest version of each photo to the iPhoto icon in the dock to import it

  • Is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook?

    is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook - both media & non-media files/folders?
    ideally if a file is password locked, it can also be made hidden?
    thanks.

    from my personal perspective, a device should always be password protected. I cannot see any case where you would accept for any device to be borrowed for someone to use.

  • Can I retrieve files from a modern Mac Backup drive to a PPC Mac?

    Can I retrieve files from a modern Mac Backup drive to a PPC Mac?  I have been having problems with my Macbook Pro not starting up.  I need to figure out how to access files with my PPC Desktop; if possible. 
    What type of files can I access and what type I cannot?
    My Macbook Pro: MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3), 750GB HD, 2.2 GHz, 6 GB RAM
    My PPC: Power mac G4/Upgraded 1.2GHZ /800+RAM/3 HD =400+ GB, Mac OS X (10.4.2)
    Thanks in advance,
    God bless 

    You will need software that is compatible with the data files on the backup drive, ie. if they are .doc files you will need Word (or a substitute).
    You don't mention what type of files are on the drive so it is hard to be specific.

  • My iPad was stolen in brazil.  i cannot get the manufacturer id number from my iPhone or my macbook air....they are all linked together though.  any suggestions on how and if i can possibly retrieve this and thus locate the device? thanks julie

    Launch iTunes, go to the Preferences, select Devices, and hover your cursor over the backup file for the iPod. That should show you the serial number, IMEI, and possibly the MEID.
    The manufacturer ID will not help you locate the iPad, though. If you set up the Find My iPad service in the Settings prior to the iPad going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPad is turned on, connected to a WiFi or 3G network, and has not had the Find My iPad service disabled or the iPad been completely restored). 
    If you did not set up Find My iPad, then there is no way to track it. Contact the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPad (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Somehow my iTunes app has been put into the trash.  How can I get this and all of the stuff that was in it back to my Application folder?  I try to drag it out of trash, but it won't work.

    Also, when I do try to drag it out of the Trash to put it back into Applications (on the Finder sidebar), it asks me to authenticate with the administration password.  I enter it, and then a window appears saying that I can't do that because I do not have permission to modify iTunes.  Please help.

    Hi,
    Troubleshooting a start up script can be difficult. There are some third party programs that also keep logs of start up programs, however for Firefox this may be different.
    Is Firefox a startup program? [http://www.winxptutor.com/msinfo32.htm]
    Its also possible to check the Web developer tools for any scripts in a page: [https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Tools/Debugger]
    In the control panel there is also Administrative tools to view event logs, but this may be something a local technician can walk you through.

    Hi Kevin,
    Dunno if you saw my other post to you, but I've put up a copy of the SDK that you were looking for and asked that we change our procedures going forward.  As for the actual issue, would you mind creating a bug report at bugbase.adobe.com if you haven't already?
    Thanks

  • I am trying to open space in my macbook hard drive, so I deleted files and after emptying the trash bin the amount of Gigs didn't increase, why? Where can I go and delete those files?

    I am trying to open space in my macbook hard drive, so I deleted files and after emptying the trash bin the amount of Gigs didn't increase, why? Where can I go and delete those files?

    Did you do a secure empty trash? SHIFT COMMAND DELETE, they will be over wriiten. Are you deleting docs as they aren't much space, videos,pictures,music use much more space.
    You can move those fiels to an external "archive" drive to save them then delete them from your internal drive.
