Getting Back Deleted Logic Folder

Question

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.

Answer 1

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?
