Can you recover deleted files which were stored on an external HD after emptying the trash on the Imac using Time Machine.

Hello - I had deleted files off of my external HD which I thought would not affect my Itunes library... Unfortunately I was incorrect in my assumption. Additionally, I empty the trash as I was hoping to regain storage space for the external HD. My question is, can i restore these files now that the trash has been emptied? I do have a regular back-up running on a Time Capsule, however when I chose the ext HD and enter into the time machine to restore it will not allow me to locate any files on the external HD??
Help!!!

Is Time Machine configured to backup the external disk drive?
It doesn't sound like it is. Which means that they is no way to get anything from that EDD from TM.
Your only alternative now is file recovery software. For a review on such software, try http://data-recovery-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-recovery-software/

Time Capsule - can you recover deleted files?

I've been using my time capsule as a external hard drive to store some files, I have recently purchased a mirrored external hard drive to store them on, and in the transfer some of the files that were stored on the Time Capsule have gotten deleted, prior to being fully transfered. Is there a way to run a recovery software on the time capsule?

No, you cannot do anything as the disk is a network drive.. you have to remove the disk and plug it into the Mac using a USB to Sata holder for instance.. and use the recovery software there.

Can you recover deleted files

I mistakenly deleted files and emptied trash - can these files be recovered ?

Stop using the drive.
Get a spare drive to recover files to.
make sure you have TimeMachine or another method for archive file history and backup
if you must, install Mac OS on another drive to work from, truthfully not having an emergency working backup system should be a must for many reasons. A good clone program is a life system saver.
Now you can check the demo of Data Rescue 3 and see what it finds. Buy it ($99) to actually recover files to the spare drive you got out or went out and bought.
And do use Carbon Copy Cloner for your drives, along with TimeMachine in the future if not already.

HT201317 can you recover deleted photos in iCloud?

Can you recover deleted photos in iCloud?

If you mean photos removed from photo stream, unfortunately no. If you mean photos deleted from your camera roll, they are supposed to be included in your iCloud backup (although unfortunately not all users report success in getting them back). If you made a backup while these photos were still in your camera roll, you may get them back by restoring this backup to your phone. (Note, restoring a backup will revert all settings and data on your phone to those contained in the backup, not just photos.)

I recently upgraded my Macbook pro with a new Hard Drive. I then transferred the data using Time Machine. Now when I want to backup using Time Machine again, it won't do it as it did before to the same external HD. How can I get it to reconnect?

Purchased a new, larger solid state drive to replace my old drive. I installed OSX then I had Time Machine do it's magic.
Now when I want to do a backup using Time Machine, it tells me that the external HD is full. When I did so prior to upgrade, it would erase old backups and then do a new backup.
Please help. I am worried about losing files, and am tired of seeing the "Time Machine hasn't backed up in xxx days" Error Message.
Thanks.

it thinks yours is a new machine so it doesn't want to start deleting another machine's backups

Can I recover deleted file stored on Time Capsue

I have been using my time capsule to store movie files, and I inadvertantly deleted the folder. Is there any way to reover these files. There is no backup
Thanks

If there have been no backups at all since the time that the files were deleted, you might be able to retrieve them with a commercial program like Disk Warrior.
http://data-recovery-software-review.toptenreviews.com/mac-recovery-software/dis kwarrior-review.html
Other options include having a data restoration firm try to retrieve the files for you, but this is a very expensive proposition....with no guarantees, of course.
If any backups have run since the file deletion, some or all of the data has probably already been overwritten, or Time Machine has moved files around on the disk, making it next to impossible to get at the right data.

The Issue I'm Experiencing, In Brief...
Somehow I discarded a great deal of files from my HD, into my Mac's trash can.
Furthermore to add grave insult to minor injury, I proceeded to empty that same trash can.
Though I wouldn't know, I do feel slightly hopeful that a DIY remedy - complex, vastly
unkown yet free of charge - exists...that a few bright Mac- enthusiasts know of such a solution
and that but still a few of those same beings are willing to help me out with such an issue.
I thank you sincerely for so much as taking the time to read about my screw-up.

Hey - this is my very first 'messaging' experience.
Late last night I was prompted to seek help - world wide, today, with my new found problem.
Wanting to make significant hard drive space available I managed to exceed my intended goal. Wanting to download and install various 'live packs' - utilized in the process of music production via software created by the Ableton company - I knew that I'd need to 'throw out' about 30 GB - more if I could.
Anyway, having spent the time downloading more than a dozen such Live Packs...and installing them thereafter...it didn't take to long for me to begin pondering what could have happened to ALL my created tracks, instruments, etc.
My best guess at this point is that somehow when I threw huge groupings of files into the trash - parts of what I had intended to get rid of possibly came to be attached somewhere/somehow to the very files which I thought to be most safe and sound.
Realizing the extent of what had occurred - it took some time to know for certain I had thrown away ALL of my created files - I began to imagine going about fixing my brand new, painful problem.
Though I am far from being computer savy, etc. - I have this notion that if only I were more aware of my mac's abilities, etc. I could perhaps bring my lost files back from the dead.
Late last night, I learned that there are software products out there to solve just this problem - but, being unemployed I am unable to pay the $80 asked for.
I've learned that such programs are free of charge for Windows customers, but not Mac owners...they say it's much more difficult to fet back files which have been placed in the trash and then thrown out on a Mac - hence the fee I suppose.
Regardless of everything, I
DO hold faith in the possibility that someone (even many, perhaps) not only knows how to go about correcting my issue, but knows how to go about teaching me such a process (i.e. YouTube, etc.), and wants to be responsible for the teaching of this remedy free of charge.
Maybe I'm completely out to lunch and the remedy involved is both incredibly difficult, without guarantee, and only possible through $80 plus fee.
My personality enjoys others, however, this process of sending my question 'out there' for an answer comprises a brand new experience...and I hope that those who come into contact with my writing are neither left confused nor irritated.
I greatly look foward to the possibility of being helped out by someone who is able and willing to help another person.
I look forward to the chance to hear back from another person, not a salesman or even an existing friend of mine own - I imagine I would enjoy being helped with my current mishap by another human being who wants to help me...how could such an experience not feel pretty decent - I mean an interaction free of title, roles, role-playing...pretension ad nauseum (as found anywhere in Western 'civiliation').
[oops! perhaps way too much writing...then again, it is a personal first...]
Thank you sincerely to anyone who should so much as read my stated issue!!

I have no knowledge of any way to recover trashed filed except with a paid piece of software. I have used Data Rescue 3 with excellent results, but it's $100.
I don't know of any free software that can retrieve trashed data.
Sorry,

HT4528 how can you recover deleted photos from the iPhone hard drive?

Is there anyway possible i can recover my deleted photos from my iphone hard drive for free?

You can't for two reasons: First, the iPhone doesn't have a hard drive. Second, there is no Trash folder, so once something is deleted it is gone forever. If you were foresighted enough to sync your phone regularly the photos should still be in the app you used for managing photos from digital cameras on your computer, and they are also in the iPhone backup on your computer. If you enabled Photo Stream they are also in iCloud. But if you didn't take advantage of any of these backup options you are out of luck.

Help! Can you retrieve deleted files at all?

I'm running photoshop CS2 on a mac osx 10.5.1. I accidentally dragged a photoshop image i was working on into the trash and deleted it. Is there anywhere in photoshop or on my mac where info on this file may be saved? I really would love it back. Thanks!

What ever happened to programs like 'UnErase"? If files are deleted and the drive has not been written to, then those files are still there, with just a 'flag' at the file's header marking it as invisible and ok to be overwritten (the result of emptying the trash.) A program like 'UnErase' would simply go through flagged files marked for deletion and make them visible and restored again.
Too bad no one has kept up with keeping that simple utility available to all of us. It should be a part of the standard apple toolkit.
Of course, there is the better way to operate, to prevent sobs and buckets of tears, and that is to make backups. Get an external drive and slop everything over to it at regular intervals with copies of everything you are working on that you do not want to lose forever.

Can you have sound coming out from both internal speaker and speakers connected to the iMac?

I have a pair of KRK Rokit 5 speakers connected to the headphones jack at the back of the iMac.
I use these for playing good quality sound when I need to record on Garageband.
However they are mains powered and have a switch at the back which is difficult to always turn due to the position of the speakers. At the same time I don't want to have the speakers turned on all the time.
Is there a way to enable the Mac to play sound through its onboard speaker without disconnecting the speakers' cable?
Thsi should be possible, becasue whenever I restart the Mac I can hear it s start up jingle clearly coming out from its onboard speaker, even when the external speakers are plugged in.
Thanks

Unfortunately the iMac is not designed to offer that setup capability. If you go into your Applications folder>System Preferences>"Sound">here you will find that you can select the device that the iMac's sound output is sent thru (see below)>you will find that you can only select "one" device at a time to receive the audio signal, not multiple devices at once. The "startup chimes" are separate from the normal audio output and Always come from the internal speakers.

Can I convert DNG files which were saved as compatible to Camera Raw 6.6 and 7.1 to ones only compatible with Camera Raw 6.6 which would reduce their size from 60 MB to 20MB?

I have been converting my Fuji RAF files to DNG with Lightroom preferences set to make them compatible to Camera Raw 6.6 resulting in approximately 60 MB files. I found that by changing the compatibility to 7.1 only the files are only about 20 MB. Is there any way to reconvert the files to only be compatible with 7.1 and make them about 40 MB smaller? I have not been embedding the original files in either case.

Ah, it might ignore files that are already dng. It might work if you uncheck "Only convert Raw files" but I haven't tried that myself. If it doesn't work that way, try using dng converter and replacing the original (make a backup first) with the new dng file created by the converter. Lightroom should just start using the new dng if it has the same name and is in the same location.
