Can you restore a user file that has been deleted from the home folder?

Unfortunate series of events happened because of a wacky Mavericks install. I'm pretty sure the answer is no.

If you have a backup, yes. If not, no - unless to get some data recovery software or service ($$) which may or may not be able to recover anything.

  • Maybe this question has been found already, but I have yet to find the answer. How can I restore my bookmarks after it has been deleted from my 'bookmarkbackups' folder?

    So it has been a couple months now since I last cleaned up my bookmarks toolbar. And I could remember a couple of bookmarks tabs I wish I did not delete. I found some articles saying I could try restoring previous versions of my bookmarks from the dates of recent system restore points. But the earliest date I found was of only last week's. I've checked everywhere in my Firefox profile for anything that I could restore to date back into that time, but they too only tracked back as early as last week. I believe the automatic backups Firefox had made during that time has now long been deleted from the system in order to make room for my most current ones. How am I going to be able to retrieve those bookmarks when their aren't any backups available now to restore from?

    If you do not have backups of your bookmarks, either in the bookmarkbackups folder or saved elsewhere, then you can't restore your bookmarks.

    Not unless the developer/Apple offer it again in the App store.  You can only get apps from the App store.

  • Is it possible to restore backup that has been deleted from the repository?

    Hi,
    with Rman 9i I do a full database backup including the current controlfile each night (with the catalog option). If the backup has been successful all backups older than 3 days are deleted (because of a lack of disk space).
    Now I have to restore a backup older than 3 days which can be written back to disk from tape.
    On disk there is a backup still available which is 2 days younger than the one I have to restore. That means in its controlfile the backup to be restored doesn't have the status DELETED yet.
    Can I restore this controlfile first, then resync my catalog and restore the old backup after the entry is back to the catalog ?
    How do I specify which controlfile and which backupset should be restored ?

    Hi ebrian,
    thank you for your quick answer.
    Just to be sure that I understand you right:
    I startup the database in nomount mode.
    Then I restore the controlfile from the backup which is 2 days younger than the one I have to restore because this controlfile contains the desired backup record with status "not deleted". Is that right ?
    Each of my backup consists of 3 backup pieces. How can I find out which of the pieces contains the controlfile ? Or can I try one after the other until it works ?
    After the controlfile is restored successfully I use the following commands to restore and recover the database:
    rman target=sys/<syspw>@target_db
    run {
    alter database mount;
    allocate channel c1 type disk;
    set until time '<point of time a little bit prior to the point of time of the backup to be restored>';
    restore database;
    recover database;
    release channel c1;
    open database resetlogs;
    exit;
    Because of the "resetlogs" I take a full backup of the database afterwards.
    For the future I intend to change the process of deleting backups as described below:
    * delete them from disk with operating system command not with the rman delete command
    * configure retention policy to recovery window of n days (n = number of days backups are preserved on tape)
    * start rman script each night: \\     allocate channel for maintenance device type disk; \\     delete obsolete; \\     release channel;
    Is it possible to restore each backup from tape if required with the procedure described ?
    One last question concerning the recovery:
    instead of the "set until time " before using the "restore database" command is it possible to specify a concrete backup to be restored (e.g. specifying the exact time it is taken or the backup piece numbers) ?
    Thanks in advance.

  • Can you get an app back that has been deleted

    ididnt back up my phone yet and i had a video recorder app on my iphone and my 2 year old erased the app and i have now lost all the videos since she was born is there any way to get the app back or the vidoes that were recorded

    If it's not in your iTunes library and you've not synced the phone, I'm afraid you can kiss this stuff goodbye. App data is stored in two places: on your phone, and in the iPhone backup. I was taking a chance that by re-downloading the app directly to your phone, the app data "might" re-appear...really depends on how the app was coded. But, that's not possible, given what you've posted.

  • I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal.  Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

    I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal.  Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

    No. I tried it on my Time Machine (I had just made one change today, so I knew I would not be left in the lurch if I failed) and when I clicked on restore I got this message:
    It seems you have several options.  I chose 'Keep Both'.  I suggest that you proceed with your search.
    Ciao.

  • Is there a way to retrieve a text message that has been deleted from my iphone?

    Is there a way to retrieve a text message that has been deleted from my iphone?  I did't delete the message but after i synced my phone the message was gone.

    No, the app doesn't use Safari.  The app is AutoDesk Inventor Publisher Viewer.  I think there is a way that you can have a publish Inventor file, and if you create a correctly formatted hyperlink, you can click on it and it will immediately open the file in the viewer.
    I know that if you offer the file as a standard download, iOS will ask whether you want to open it with Inventor Pub. Viewer or save it to another app that can accept files.  I would prefer to skip the prompt, and just open the viewer.
    I've heard mention that this can be done with this application, but I can't find reference material anywhere.

  • Why does Epson app for the iphone show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll?

    Why does the Epson app for my iphone 4 show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll for months now?

    Thanks @pdroth. I did a quick Google search of DB indexing. I'm not sure I found exactly what you were referring to but I see where you're going with it. I can understand that indexing my database of stored photos can be time consuming. It's frustrating that the space can't be recognized as being free more quickly.
    I notice that some items I delete seem to free up the space much more quickly. Removing an app entirely or deleting from my Music generally shows up as available space in Usage pretty quickly.
    Deleting a photo or video from the Camera Roll will take MUCH longer, so I guess that has something to do with the indexing process you are referring to.
    I'd like to point out that when I run out of space on an SD card on any budget point and click digital camera that I can quickly delete a picture or two and INSTANTLY be able to take a couple of new photos in their place. I guess I just have that same expectation for the $500+ engineering marvel I have in my hand right now.
    Thanks for chiming in.

  • Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'Jun' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed

    HI,
    I am using V11.1.2.2 Hyperion Planning. I am currently getting an error:
    Error : Period dimension 'Period' is missing a Base Time Period member 'Jun' that has been deleted since the last deployment. Base Time Period members cannot be deleted once the dimension is deployed
    This is what i got when i tried to add alternate hierarchy to my shared dimension. I tried to delete it and it messed up.
    NOw it wont deploy my application.
    Can any one suggest.
    Thanks in advance
    Cheers,

    EPMA!!!!! EPMA!!!!
    I'm playing around with it to write a blog post and it is crazy. Only possible workaround (till now i'm not able to figure out a solution to it) is to copy the application and deploy it as a new one. Take copy of all objects (forms, tasklist etc). Delete the corrupted application and rename the new one to old.

  • HT204053 My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop items being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?

    My wife and I have an iphone each using one apple id. How do we stop phone contacts being deleted from one phone and then find it has been deleted from the other?
    Also this works when one of us downloads an app it appears on the other iphone

    You need to use separate iCloud accounts. This will mean that you can both have your own separate contracts and calendars and put an end to them being deleted by each other.
    Whether or not you have a separate iTunes account, is up to you. If you have a separate iTunes accounts you will not be able to access the music, books, apps that have been purchased by the other. This may be exactly what you want, but it also means that you both may end up purchasing the same item.

  • Can I retrieve a TV show that has been deleted?

    Here's the scoop:
    I used to have many TV shows as a part of my iTunes library. One day, someone deleted the folder under my iTunes Music folder where the shows are stored. This was before I had begun regularly using Time Machine to back up all the files on my computer.
    So, now all the titles of these TV shows appear in my Library, but when I click them, the file can obviously not be located since it has been deleted. Is there any way I could redownload these shows from iTunes? Is there any type of record that Apple keeps to see that I have downloaded these? I know they have DRM, so hopefully Apple could tell that I never passed these shows on to anyone else...
    I just want to be able to watch some of these TV shows that have disappeared from my library. Any ideas?
    If you're wondering, I have lost:
    The Office Season 2: Christmas Party

    Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature if applicable. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts, album artwork, and iPod touch/iPhone applications.
