Getting back deleted files

I feel like an idiot! I needed to use my sons iPod to move large files over from one windows computer to another. When I pluged the iPod into the computer, it asked my if I wanted to format it, I clicked yes, and yes. I was wrong, I deleted all of his files and songs. Naturaly, most of his songs are not in his iTunes (I don't know why!) Opps! I know that there may be a way to get thoses files back. If anyone has any ideas, please help, becuase my son may hurt me.

ya,
but I thought i've heard of something, maybe only computer geeks can do it, that will go into the HD, kinda like CSI stuff, to see what can be recovered. I know that when you delete a file, it dosen't go away truly until you over write the spave it held on that hard drive. (basicly the 0's and 1's are still there untill there are new 0's and 1's to replace them.)
Just thought there may be something.
P.S. Is there any way to get the songs purchased on an iTunes account back?

  • How can I get back deleted files to my iPod?

    First of all, I tried to upgrade my iPod's iOS 4.2.1 to 5. I followed the steps in the following page: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4972. Unfortunately, I unsucceeded as the iOS stayed the same but I lost all of my downloaded music and video files. So, my question is how to restore deleted files? I could get my files back by adding manually them from my computer to iTunes and then to iPod, but the thing is that I've changed my computer and all the music files in my iPod were from my old computer. I've tried to find a solution on my own, but it has been hopeless so far. Please, any kind of help is appreciated!

    Which iPod do you have?
    Some iPods can only be upgraded to 4.2.1

  • I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

    I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

    On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.

    I am mad against Mozilla because I do not have the time to re download. Here is my question:
    Is there a "Vault" or a "quarantine" folder where I can recover this file??
    (I know that the source of such messages is Google and that in the future I will uncheck a line on the options' security tab.This is not my problem.)
    My problem is: Can I find it somewhere and recover it without re-downloading??

    Unfortunately the file is not stored anywhere on your harddrive. It has been deleted entirely.
    If you think this file block is a "false positive" and that the file is actually safe, you could do one of the following:
    (1) Download the file using a downloader add-on that bypasses this security check. I heard about this in another thread but haven't tried it myself (and also, I don't know which add-ons to trust for this!).
    (2) Disable the Safe Browsing feature temporarily to get the file, then turn it back on. There is a checkbox in the Options dialog:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Security tab, it's the "Block reported attack sites" checkbox. The other checkbox relates to phishing sites and I don't think it affects downloads.

  • How do I get back the File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

    how do I get back the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help" line of text that I could click on for options that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps

    I did that (I think I did) however the confusion is that I get only part of the menu and not the most important menu items like "file" "edit" etc. with all the drop downs. It is so freaky - my other computers have no problem like this and I and show the menu bar or not just like you described. I really doubt anyone really understands my problem with it. I took some screen shots of the good computer version and the bad one so someone can "see" exactly what I am seeing. This may be a one of a kind gremlin issue, LOL. Anyway, without those menu items, I am very limited on the usefulness of FireFox on that computer so I have to rely more on Chrome for those features and use the FireFox with Billeo and other tools that still work. Someday it may magically fix itself, LOL.
    Of the two images, one is the good computer and the other is the bad. The bad one shows the only way to see the menu items however they disappear after I am done with the custom menu and no other time can I get the items to "appear" it is like they are there but cannot get them to show when in the normal menu bar mode.

    I would contact your phone provider. The only way that you can recover text messages is by a count ordered subpoena.

  • How to get back missing files - time machine problems

    3 weeks ago, I bought a new iMac (let me call it A) and put everything from my old iMac onto it using Migrate Assistant via WLAN. It worked fine, but when I found out 2 days later that my 'new' iMac (A) had just been replaced by the 2013 iMac, I was really annoyed and contacted the store. They agreed to change it and so today, after the hourly time machine backup, I disconnected the external hard disk and deleted what I could off the machine that was going back to Apple. Plugged in the brand new iMac (B) today and when prompted, got it to transfer data from my time machine backup. However, although the programmes are there etc. the 'last backup' it used was the one from 20 September, the day before I first connected it to the (A) iMac. And so a lot of documents are missing. When I go onto time machine, it just has a lot of blanks inbetween 20 September and today, although it had been backing up on that 'new' iMac (A) every hour it had been on, but it seems that none of these have been saved. Now it has done a couple of backups today, so there are some new backups under today, but before that, just blanks until 20 September. Firstly, can I get the missing files back?  And secondly, what has gone wrong and what should I do to time machine to make sure it doesn't do this again? Thanks!!!

    Hi Guys,
    I would really like to know, if anyone has an answer to this because I would like to be able to re-download some of my podcasts that I deleted to clear up some disk space.
    Thanks very much,

  • Getting Back Deleted Logic Folder

    Hi. I need help bad!!!! A friend used my mac and in deleting some picture files, he accidently highlighted my logic folder and deleted it. He also cleared the recycle bin.!!
    Is there any way for me to get back my folder? I have/had a LOT of songs in the folder and I'm devastated.

    Sorry to see your problem. The advice here is good.
    For the future, I strongly recommend regular backups of projects to CD or DVD, it might seem an expensive ongoing cost, but data recovery servics are very expensive. you could have burned 400 to 500 DVDs for what that kind of recovery could cost you.
    For the future i recommend the following:
    Keep your Logic projects in your user Music folder.
    create a new user account for anyone who uses your computer and don't let anyone log on in your name.
    If you want to share work with someone else on your machine put a copy in your public folder, log out and let them pick up the copy. That way no-one but you ever gets into your user account.
    Yowever much you trust someone they can make mistakes. Itf you erased your own Logic folder you would kick yourself, but this kind of thing can put friendships under severe strain. To me this is not a matter of trust but of common sense.
    Out of interest though, how did he delete Logic files when he was deleting photos? Surely they are not in the same folders. Did you have everything in your documents folder?

  • I forgot my hidden file manager password,How can i get back my files

    I forgot Hidden file manager password,how can i get back my my data

    If you are able to Get Info on the folder of interest go the the very bottom section Sharing and Permissions.
    You can gain access to this area by clicking on the lock in the lower right corner of the Get Info window.
    Once you have input the admin password for the computer you should be able to edit the permissions on that file/directory. 

  • How do I get back my files from an erased hard drive? (disk utility)

    Under the advice of another Mac user, I used the Disk Utility application to 'erase' and reformat my MacBook Pro to 'Mac OS Extended (Journaled)' so that I could copy files that were on my MB to my hard drive and it erased everything on my hard drive.
    I am now panicking. How do I get all my files, documents, videos and photos that were on my hard drive back? I saw that there was a 'restore' option iin Disk Utility but I have no idea what it is or how to use it... I reallly need some help!!!
    Is there any way I can get my files back?
    Thanks you

    It won't help, but here is an explanation:
    The Restore functions in Disk Utility (in Mac OS X 10.3 and later) let you create a clone of your disk. The system software can be replaced and therefore restored by a previously created disk image using this option. Normally, using disk images or Disk Utility's Restore functions will destroy data on a destination disk, by overwriting data from an original source disk.
