Deleted trash can. Accidently put movies folder in trash and how to restore

Hello,
I hope someone can help me.
I have had a look around and I can't find the answer.
I have accidently deleted my movies folder, with all my mp4 home movies in.
And then I deleted the trash before I realised my movies file was gone, and now in finder I do not have a Movies folder.
I know its a silly mistake, but I don't think I backed my movies up. I backed up photos but forgot videos.
I am using Tiger.
Merry Christmas

Basics of File Recovery
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When you delete files you erase only the directory entries, not the files themselves. However, the space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage. 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.
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten with 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.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

How can I put move requests in stuck and continue working?

I have a map and a unit moving on this map, I wont to give him 2 moving orders and continue for my another staff.
this is part of my program so I try to explain to you the parameters of this function in the way I choose to represent it:
destination:String is a string looking like this: "x,y" where x and y are the coronations.
getLocNum(location:String, isX:boolean) returns the x value if isX set to true or the y value if its false.
_units is an Array with images and you can ignore from unitID for now.
_location:String is also a string form "x,y" family, that show the correct unit location.
I hope this were clear enough for you to try and help me out with this.
Here we go:
public function testMoveUnit(destination:String,unitID:int=0):void
var myMove:Move=new Move();
myMove.target=_units[unitID];
myMove.xTo=getLocNum(destination,true)*30+38;
myMove.duration=Math.abs(getLocNum(destination,true)-getLocNum(_location,true))*1000;
myMove.play();
myMove.yTo=getLocNum(destination,false)*30-28;
myMove.duration=Math.abs(getLocNum(destination,false)-getLocNum(_location,false))*1000;
myMove.play();
_location=destination;
Right now the unit only moves for his x direction and if I remove the first myMove.play() request so its going for the destination, so the only problem is when I am adding my first move().
And for another question may be more complicated then that is how can I know if my unit is in a middle of his move and I don't wont to interrupt him right now, I mean at the future when the function be called again.

sorry for missunderstanding about Move
possibly its not working because you are calling myMove.play() twice and setting duration twice , try omitting one myMove.play() like below
public function testMoveUnit(destination:String,unitID:int=0):void
var myMove:Move=new Move();
myMove.target=_units[unitID];
myMove.xTo=getLocNum(destination,true)*30+38;
myMove.duration=Math.abs(getLocNum(destination,true)-getLocNum(_location,true))* 1000;
myMove.yTo=getLocNum(destination,false)*30-28;
myMove.play()
_location=destination;

How do you delete [empty] a single file or folder from "Trash"?

How do you delete [empty] a single file or folder from "Trash"?
Can you "securely delete" just 1 item?

A dangerous and incorrect shell command has been posted in this thread.
NEVER empty the Trash in the shell (Terminal.) NEVER put anything in the Trash unless you intend to delete it immediately. If you do put something in the Trash and change your mind about deleting it, move it out or use the Put Back contextual menu item. Then empty the remaining items in the Trash as usual.

Freeing Up Space on The Hard Drive
1. See Lion/Mountain Lion/Mavericks' Storage Display.
2. You can remove data from your Home folder except for the /Home/Library/ folder.
3. Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on freeing up space on your hard drive.
4. Also see Freeing space on your Mac OS X startup disk.
5. See Where did my Disk Space go?.
6. See The Storage Display.
You must Empty the Trash in order to recover the space they occupied on the hard drive.
You should consider replacing the drive with a larger one. Check out OWC for drives, tutorials, and toolkits.
Try using OmniDiskSweeper 1.8 or GrandPerspective to search your drive for large files and where they are located.
You will need a minimum of 10-12 GBs of free space to install Yosemite, however, that is a bare minimum and should be at least twice that amount.

How can I put content on the AppleTV and have it STAY there??

I want to put movies on the AppleTV and delete them from my computer. I want the movies to be persistently on the AppleTV How do I do that?

Most important thing to realise is that AppleTV cannot be regarded as a storage or backup device - once content is on AppleTv you cannot get it back to your computer.
Assuming you have a backup copy of a movie elsewhere in case your AppleTV fails or needs a factory restore you could either:
- Show the files location using a right click on it in iTunes and delete it from the laptop drive directly but not delete the entry from iTunes. (Not ideal but apparently works)
- Keep larger files on an external drive and change iTunes Preferences not to import to the main library - when the drive is connected you will be able to add new entries to iTunes and synce them. When disconnected iTunes won't delete them from AppleTV as again there's still an entry in the library, just that the file isn't available.
These are workarounds - it's a shame you can't just drag and drop media to AppleTV manually rather than having to sync things.

How can't I move all my contacted and photos from my old iCloud account to my new account

How can't I move all my contacted and my photos from my old iCloud account to my new iCloud account . And how do I know I got photos saved on my iCloud account

If you sign into your old account using your iPhone and turn on contacts (Settings > iCloud) then once all of your contacts are on your iPhone turn contacts back off and select keep on my iPhone. Then delete account on the old account and sign in with your new iCloud account and turn on contacts and select merge. That will get your contacts over.
If you have photos stored in iCloud it will be in My Photo Stream. This section only keeps the last 30 days of auto uploads from any of your devices or computers that are using this feature. You can access these photos by signing into the old iCloud account in Settings > iCloud and enable Photos > My Photo Stream. If you have any photos in there, they will load into your Photos App. In the Photos App, tap Albums in the bottom right, then tap My Photo Stream. There is no way to upload them to your new iCloud account once you sign into it short of creating a Shared Photo Stream and inviting yourself to it.
In the end you should really try to keep one Apple ID for everything when possible as there is no way to merge Apple IDs and you can end up in a tangled mess.

Can you use Easynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

Can you useEasynews to download movies etc to IMac and how and where do you save the files?

From your Apple menu at the left end of the menubar, select "About this Mac." You get a window similar to this:
1) The Mac OS version is just under the big "MAC OS X" line. Post what that says.
2) We can start to figure out what iMac you have if you post what that the "Processor" line says.
We need to find out because Apple's poor labling choices for this forum, intended for iMacs made before 2006, causes people with newer and much more capable Macs to post here by mistake.
Without some info from you, it's much like your calling an auto mechanic and asking if you can use a certain part without telling him the make, model, or year of your car. Quess what his first question will be? Works the same here.

I have an existing new belkin modem router which works fine with quiet a few wired and wireless products in my house. My question is if i buy a time capsule can i put it in another room and wirelessly connect it to the belkin modem router, I would then just like my macbook pro and (imac future purchase) to wirelessly back up to it???????????

Your will need to perform a Factory Default Reset on the TIme Capsule to clear out the current network settings and then reconfigure it to "join" your wireless network using the AirPort Utility setup application.
To perform the Factory Default Reset on the Time Capsule....
Pull the power cord from the back of the device
Wait a few moments
Hold in the reset button on the back of the Time Capsule and keep holding it an additional 8-10 seconds while you simultaneously plug the power cord back in to the Time Capsule
Release the reset button after the hold period and allow 25-30 seconds for the Time Capsule to restart to a slow, blinking amber light
On your Mac.....
Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
Click Continue
Follow the guided setup and choose the "join" option when it appears duriing the setup
You will need to know the exact type of wireless security that the Belkin router is using to enter this information during the setup of the Belkin. Otherwise, the Time Capsule cannot join the network, and you will receive an error message after the configuration process.

My trash can icon disappeared from my email screen. How do I get it back?

My trash can icon disappeared from my email screen. How do I get it back? The archive box replaced it on screen and now there is an arrow to go to it. It is annoying because I trash things way more than I archive them.

By the way, it's an ipod touch 32G 4th generation.
Thanks for any help I can get.

Apple iPhone 5c on EE brand new unopened no sim put in to it yet... if I buy it can i put my Vodafone sim in and use it as normal?

Hi all,
Im thinking of buying a friends iPhone 5C contract upgrade as he doesn't want it now...
It's on EE but still sealed un-opened etc
Can i put my Vodafone sim in and use it as i heard some phones are sim free until the first sim goes in to it?
Can i hear your input please.
Much appreciated,
Jo

If locked to EE, you will have to get your friend to request that EE unlock it before it can be used on any other network. So, don't purchase until you have verified that your friend has gotten the phone officially unlocked.

Hey jestinsinclairr,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you had one issue and then got a second trying to resolve the first. A frustrating situation for sure. The first article linked has what to do if it is not powering on unless plugged in. The second article addresses the error you are receiving when trying to restore.
