HELP! Accidentally Deleted Videos

Ugh. Don't ask why I did it. So I thought I would be freeing up some space on my Mac by deleting a whole bunch of videos in the Finder that were also in iTunes. I thought they would still work, but it turns out they don't. Is there any way I can get them back, even after I emptied the Trash Can?

Well, you could use an Apple Laptop with enough free disk space, but the APP to recover the stiff will still cos, you'd use FireWire target disk mode...

the program at least has a Demo to see if it could work, but every second that computer is ON, used or not, chances are getting slimmer of recovery.

    It's not a good idea to post your email address on the Internet.
    No, once you delete something from the iPad it is gone.

  • Is there anyway to restore accidentally deleted videos from Iphone4?

    My kid deleted a whole years worth of videos from my IPhone4 and am trying to find out if there is a way to restore?  Please help!

    One of the reasons why photos/videos captured by the iPhone should be imported by your computer ASAP after capture as with any other digital camera.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
    Photos/videos 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 if updating the backup is done on your computer, or over the air with an iCloud account if this option is selected.
    If your iPhone's backup has not been updated since the videos were deleted, you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes. Do not update the backup when prompted as the first step when doing so.

  • Have accidentally deleted video clips and now an iMovie project won't play (did initially after deletion but no longer). Is there any way to rectify this? I have a very upset daughter as the video was her holiday memories....

    I have deleted the video clips used to make an iMovie project as I thought the bits usedt were saved as part of the iMovie project. Initially the project still played post deletion. However it is no longer working as it says it can't find the video clips. Is this rescuable?
    I have a very upset daughter as project took her 2 days and was her holiday memories....
    Any help gratefully received

    There's no harm in looking inside the Trash folder.
    When a file or folder is deleted, it is moved into the Trash folder to give you a chance to recover it if it was deleted by mistake. Of course that means Trash folder could grow large as time goes and more files are deleted.
    You can recover your movies if they are still in the trash.
    You should also empty the trash if you think you don't need the files in it to free up disk space.

  • HT1766 Accidentally Deleted videos on iPAD!

    I accidently deleted 3 of my videos on my iPad. I was making and editing a video in iMOVIES, when I was told that I don't have enough storage. I thought I would make some room, thinking my editev versions in iMovie were safe. I was wrong. Is there any way i can retrieve these videos. I did not back up my iPad with iTunes. The videos were done just two days ago. I spent 60 CHF and downloaded Wondershare Dr Fone to help me. I was able to retrieve every photo except those 3 short videos.......is it a lost cause......PLEASE HELP.

    Jeff-
    Has she recently synced the iPad to the computer?  If so, connect the iPad to your computer and run iTunes.  Select the iPad under DEVICES at the left of the window and click on Restore.

    You need to select one or more photos you wish to delete then CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Trash from the context menu. To get rid of the photos permanently after you finish select the Trash entry in iPhoto's sidebar, CTRL- or RIGHT-click and select Empty.

  • HELP:: Accidentally deleted Old Time Machine Backup!

    I was trying to free up some space on my external HD, and deleted a prior backup - assuming that the one called "Latest" was the backup I wanted.
    When I deleted the backup named "01/11/09" - it actually appears to have deleted the contents of any/all of my backups!
    What I'm worried about - is that before I realized this - I emptied the trash, and restarted the computer.
    This is critical stuff that is from a previous computer that I just sold when I upgraded. Years worth of files and photos.
    Any help is much appreciated.

    First, you should never delete any backups from finder. if you have to do it it should only be done from TM interface. since you've emptied trash your ONLY hope now is using data recovery software like Filesalvage or Data Rescue II. you should turn off TM and use one of those programs asap to maximize recovery chances.
    Also, you should never use TM as an archiving utility to store files. It is a backup tool not an archiving tool. old backups are constantly thinned and eventually recycled without warning.
    If you need to store some data permanently keep it on a separate drive.

  • Terminal help - accidentally deleted /System/Library/Extensions

    So I foolishly deleted my entire Extensions folder. I only trashed it though, not emptied. But I can't boot up. The only way I can get into anything is by using the retail Snow Leopard CD. From here I can get to the terminal.
    So...
    Can I restore my files from the trash via the terminal in the install cd?
    I've been trying some commands but no luck so far.
    Help is greatly appreciated.

    Perfect. It took a little tweaking. First I had to create the "Extensions" directory again, and even then it wouldn't let me move a whole directory, just individual files. The "-R" command worked that out though.
    The full code I ended up using was...
    cp -R /Volumes/"Hard Drive"/.Trashes/*/Extensions /Volumes/"Hard Drive"/System/Library/Extensions

  • Help- Accidentally deleted quicktime X

    i thought i should "grade" to quicktime 7 pro, to get additional features. after I purchased and removed quick time X for snow leopard, I read that the new quick time is better. Not sure if that is correct. but anyway, like and idiot I removed, and emptied the trash of quick time X. Anyone know how I can get it back?

    Mac OS X 10.6 includes QuickTime versions 10.0 and 7.6.3. The QuickTime 7 player will only be present if a QuickTime Pro key was present at the time of installation, or if specified as part of a custom install, or individually downloaded.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/dl923
    Snow Leopard update 10.6.4 included an update to 7.6.6 (if installed). You can install it from the above link even though it says for 10.6.3. It's the same version of QuickTime Player 7.6.6.
    Only QuickTime Player 7.6.3 or 7.6.6 can be updated to "Pro".
