Deleted itunes movie folder... any way to recover?

I have just done the stupidest thing, whilst trying to delete a small folder from my external hard drive i have just deleted my video folder holding all my itunes videos. luckily i realized and canceled the delete before too many files were deleted, but now i have lost almost half my video library!
is there any way or recovering those files...?!
Thanks in advance for all your help!

Hey, don’t feel too bad. I once deleted by 100 gig iTunes Library.
And then I deleted the back up too.
I learned two things:
1; File Salvage will recover the files
and
2. Don’t do file management late at night.
Regards
TD

    You can try data recovery software, like Stellar Phoenix.  That may (or may not) recover some or (probably not) all of them.  Any that cannot be recovered have probably been overwritten and are gone for good.
    Note that you should not do anything further with the machine until you have the data recovery software, and should not install said software on the machine, since that may overwrite the data you're trying to recover.  You'll want to have some other drive you can boot from and use the recovery software from.

  • Iphoto deleted all my masters, any way to recover them? PLEASE HELP!!

    Iphoto deleted all my masters and I cant seem to find them, is there any way to recover them? Iphoto 11 version. The only pictures that are left are some previews and some thumbnails.

    Try the following:
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, 
    navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments. However, books, calendars, cards and slideshows will be lost.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.
    If that fails continue with:
    Starting over from scratch with new library
    Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
    1. Open the library package like this.
    2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
    This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
    Note:  your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

    Your iPhone is designed to sync contacts with a contact manager on your computer or iCloud. You can re-sync them from there.

  • Deleted Files in Lightroom, any way to recover??

    I deleted hundreds of photos in lightroom, and I think they also got deleted from the folders that I exported them too because they are now missing.
    When I deleted them they went into my trash, and then I went on and emptied my trash.
    I don't have their thumbnails or anything, is there any way I can get these back?! It's an emergency!!!!!
    Thanks!!

    Well, you can try downloading and installing and running something called an "Undelete Utility". There are freeware ones available. If you are going to do this, do not do anything else on your computer.
    Also, develop a comprehensive and automated backup strategy so that this won't ever happen again.

    Call it "Recently Added" and make the rule that date added is in the last 2 weeks (or your preference for "recent").

    You are out of luck on your PC, since the file appears to be empty, but you can try to recover the deleted video on your phone: http://www.wondershare.com/disk-utility/recover-deleted-photos-from-iphone.html

    I accidentally deleted my entire "Send" folder on mail. Don't remember doing this, but it is gone. Any way to recover?

    Have you changed the options for Mail Box behaviour in the Mail prefereces? If the option "Store sent mail on server" is disabled, you will not see a "Sent" mailbox. Enable it again, if it is no longer checked. This has to be set for each account in the "Accounts" tab of the Mail Preferences panel.

  • Is there any way to recover accidentally deleted photos?

    Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5.6 running on Windows 7 PC.
    After importing a group of photos including JPG and RAW files from a memory card (which was later reformatted), I noticed that the photos ended up in a folder on the wrong external drive. I tried to move them to another folder on the main drive using Lightroom and somehow deleted the original files. I can still see them in a Collection, but they cannot be edited or Developed as the underlying file cannot be found. Is there any way to recover these photos? Willing to listen to all suggestions. Thanks for your input.

    Find an "undelete utility" (one such utility is called Recuva, but I have never used it) and see if it can recover your RAW photos. If you are going to do this, do not perform any other tasks on your computer except to find, download, install and run this undelete utility. If possible, download and install on a different drive than the photos were on. You can also try this undelete utility on your camera card.
    While I'm at it, you might want to develop and implement a backup strategy, in which you don't delete from the camera card until you have TWO (or more) copies of your photos, on TWO (or more) different physical disks. And don't forget to back up your catalog file regularly and automatically.

  • My 5 year old deleted photos from my ipod before I could sync...is there any way to recover the photos?

    My 5 year old daughter was looking at photos and videos that we took while visiting the zoo yesterday.  While looking at the various items, she somehow managed to erase a bunch of photos and videos from the device.  I have not sync my ipod since taking the missing media so I can't use Itunes to get it back.  Is there any way to recover these deleted items?

    Sorry.  They are gone.

  • Are there any way to recover the deleted images form iPhone 4

    hello guy's
    are there any way to recover the deleted images form iPhone 4
    note : i haven't make any copy of the photo in my pc so i relay need for them
    plz help

    The Camera Roll is for temporary storage as with any other digital camera. Although photos in the Camera Roll are included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process, photos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer ASAP. If you didn't sync your iPhone with iTunes since these photos were captured by your iPhone and the photos in the Camera Roll weren't imported by your computer, the photos are gone.
    Depending on how wealthy you are, you can contact a data recovery service to see if they can recover deleted photos from an iPhone's flash drive, but you will pay an arm and a leg for this. Such a data recovery service is not cheap and with no guarantee the data will be recoverable.

    No.

    No. To remove a forgotten restrictions passcode requires restoring the device as "New" in iTunes, NOT from backup.

  • Re: camera connection kit- I uploaded pictures using the sandisk connection, clicked on 10 pics to delete and ALL of my files were deleted from the sandisk! Is there any way to recover these pics?

    Kevin-
    You say you uploaded the pictures to the iPad?  Then they should still be there, and you can copy them to your computer through iTunes.
    There are utility programs for a computer that can recover deleted files from hard drives, and they may work for camera memory cards as well.  I've used DiskWarrior for Macintosh to recover pictures from an SD card before.

  • Deleted home directory from XRAID any way to recover?

    Hi
    Hope someone maybe able to help me with this issue which is causing me great agony at the moment.
    We had storage issues on our Apple XRAID and on the RAID it stored approx 700 user home folders. There were under a folder called 'home directories'. A lot of these areas where fairly sizable so we were advised that we can run a command in terminal which can clear the trash folders in a users home directory.
    This would certainly help clear some of the unnecessary space that was being taken up.
    So in terminal a command was run:
    rm - R -v /Volumes/RAID/Homedirectories/*/.Trash
    We were told that the last statement would have interrogated each user home folder and deleted the trash folder.
    We found though that whilst this command worked and deleted the trash, it also deleted all user home folders and everything within these folders.
    I have a massive dilemma now as all the work is lost and our backup software wasn't working at the same time so I not able to do a restore. I was using RetroSpect 8.
    I have tried various undelete software to interrogate the RAID and see if it can recover files. I have used:
    Stella Phoenix, Rstudio for Mac and Disk Warrior.
    These programs have not been able to recover anything.
    I was going to use a freeware tool called TestDisk and photorec buts its going to take about 3 days for it to run on the XRAID as its 3tb in size.
    Does anyone think I could try something else to help me find the accidently deleted data. With the rm commands that have been run is there any way to recover from it from an XRAID.
    I have found some other software cannot see the XRAID. Does anyone know of other software which has been successful?
    Thank you

    Since this issue and through the countless data recovery methods used. I am concerned that the disks will have gone through **** with intensive interrogation of that disks.
    Am I just being anal or do I have a genuine reason to be slightly worried.
    I am going to put a bid to my seniors about maybe purchasing a new storage device to replace the XRAID and maybe use the XRAID for just backup/archival purposes.
    What suggestions do users have with other Storage Arrays? I ideally want something where I can at least have about 5tb but with the option to grow and I want to be able to use both the XRAID and the new storage device in conjunction. Could I possibly have a replication between the new storage array and the XRAID?
    Which devices out there would be an ideal replacement for the Apple XRAID that others recommend?
    United Digital Hyperstar
    ACTIVE RAID ES (From the developers of the original XRAID)
    Promise vTrak E-CLASS
    Am I right in saying that I would replace the existing fibre channel card in the Xserve with a new 4 port 4Gb card. so I can attach 2 ports of the existing Xserve RAID and the other 2 ports to the a new storage device.
    My plan would be to use RAID5 for redundancy, any benefits of using some other RAID such as 1+0 or RAID50?
    Thanks
