Can you recover files that were deleted?

Hi everyone, is there anyway to find files that were deleted about 2-3 months ago? I don't have timeline and carbonite does not show the files either so they have to have been deleted over a month ago. I am a photographer and cannot find a clients session and I am afraid it was deleted...
Thanks,
Jayme

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 by using 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. Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk. Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
Unfortunately, after such a long time, if the drive has been in use then the space occupied by the deleted files has most likely been overwritten by new files making the old ones unrecoverable.

Your back up?
Other than that... File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

How do you recover files that were put in the trash before you emptied your trash?

Before realizing that I had saved my research paper under downloads rather than documents, I put all my downloaded files in the trash and emptied my trash. How can I recover this file? I appreciate all the help I can get! I have spent the last five hours editing this paper :/

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the file is recovered or you choose not to recover it.

How can I recover photos that were deleted accidentally?

I am using iPhoto 6.0.6
I accidentally deleted a folder of photos in iPhoto and then emptied the trash from within the program. Is there any way to recover these files? I have not emptied the trash from finder, but I have closed iPhoto.
Is there any possible way to recover these files, either using an option from within OS X or a 3rd party solution?

Don't you have a backup of your library you can recover those photos from? The Finder trash is not connected to iPhoto's trash bin. If you emptied iPhoto's trash then the photos have been deleted from the hard drive. You can run the of SubrosaSoft FileSalvage in it's demo mode to see if it can find and recover those photos before you purchase it. Others have had success in recovering photos as long as there hasn't been a lot of new files added to the HD that might overwrite those files.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Can I recover notes that were deleted upon the removal of an email account?

I recently deleted the e-mail account of a prior employer to which was associated most of my notes in the Note app. I had no idea that notes were even associated with each email account, but now about 50% of what I was using is simply gone. Ironically, that email account was no longer connected to the company server as I am working elsewhere, so no backup will exist there. I do not have an itune backup recent enough to be of any value. The icloud and gmail accounts each have some of their own notes, but none of them have the missing notes.
So, is there any signature left of the files in the physical memeory of my ipad? If so, is there an app which will let me look for them. To be honest, this is kind of disappointing for apple in that quite a few folks have no idea of the association, though I should have had some more recent itune backups. Particularly since an inactive connection to the email server automatically implies there is no backup anywhere. I wish I would have known that tidbit.
Help!

Might be some help on these links.

How can I recover pictures that were deleted from my Playbook after a OS upgrade?

The playbook would not back up when i connected to my pc via the BB desktop manager.
The message that popped up in the desktop manager advised the Playbook counldnt connect and the solution was it needed an update. When I okayed the update, the new OS was installed.
All I did was click ok to the message. Nothing popped up telling me the playbook would be wiped.
Now, all my pics and videos are gone - and have not been backed up. Is there any solution?
Thanks for your time.

Yes. I tried the refresh and checked the uninstall tab. Still nothing. Another thing though - when I entered my Blackberry ID, it would not let me use my screen name because it was supposedly already in use. But I knew that because it was in use by me. It would only let me use the same name with a numerical suffix. So I am wondering if it thinks I am still logged on from before the upgrade. Also, is it possible the Playbook thinks I am some other use and won't let me access my files - like photos and videos, etc.

Help! I need to recover pictures that were deleted..is this possible??

Only if you had them backed up somewhere. If you had them on your SD card, there is SD card recovery software that might be able to retrieve them. I haven't used one in quite a while, so can't suggest one, but you could do an internet search.

Is there a way to recover pictures that were deleted on the i Pad 2 ??

Is there a way to recover pictures that were deleted on the i Pad 2 ?

Only if you have a copy of them e.g. if they were on your iPad when you last backed then you can try restoring to that backup. But unlike on a computer there is no trashcan or recycle bin on an iPad, once they are deleted from an iPad then they are gone from it.

How can I recover documents that were stores in the pages app?

I have an original iPad. This evening, as I was using it, I got a message that an update was available for pages. I selected "update". It attempted to install the new pages and froze. I connect to iTunes to try to get it back to old version of pages (the new versions won't work on the original iPad) by restoring to back-up. That resulted in deleting the pages app.
Ahhhh!!!! I need my documents! They had been backed up to iTunes and it was recently backed up to iCloud.
Someone please help me figure out how to find my docs!!!
THANK YOU

Is there a way to recover notes that were deleted after turning off icloud?

I recently turned off the "notes" app from iCloud so that my iphone 5 wouldn't send those notes to all my devices. I didn't know it until quite some time later, but all of my notes are now gone. I vaguely recall seeing an email of the notes, but I can't find that email whatsoever. I tried turning the iCloud notes option back on in hopes it would reinstate in the iPhone, but no dice. I am sure that I have backed up the phone on itunes since they were deleted since it was set to auto backup when I connected my phone to my Macbook Pro. Any ideas on how, if at all possible, to recover these notes? Why did they delete at all?!

If it wasn't on the device when you last backed up then no, it's gone. If it was backed up, you would have to reset the device (deleting all data on it) and perform a restore from the backup.

How can I retrieve emails that were deleted off my iPhone 4s when I changed the password to my email acccount?

I changed the password to my email account and when I changed it in my phone all of my emails were deleted Is there any way to retrieve them? They are in the server and I can access them via Outlook just not on my iPhone or iPad.

They won't be in icloud, since the only thing that would contain pictures are backups. But they were deleted before you signed up for icloud, so forget that. The only other thing to check is you computer. Users are always advised to sync photos to computers for archiving. If you did that, you should be able to find them there. But without any backups or copies of them, then they are history.
And no, you can't look at pictures in icloud.
