HELP!! I accidentally hit paste and it deleted my paper.. can i get it back?

I accidentally hit paste and it deleted my paper.. help!!
Can it be found?

Seems that if the clipboard contained a copy of the paper, then when she pasted it should have been pasted back into the document replacing the old selection.
Nevertheless, this sounds like an overwrite problem, and you cannot recover a file that has been overwritten by another. If your editor does not make automatic backups that you can restore, then your paper is lost for good. But, you can always try recovery software just in case:
General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as MAC Data Recovery, 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.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads. Recovery software usually provide trial versions that enable you to determine if the software would help before actually paying for it. Beyond this or if the drive has completely failed, then you would need to send the drive to a recovery service which is very expensive.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.
Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.

    If you are running Lion then all drivers are distributed through Software Update. You do not need to install anything, other than to install the printer in System Preferences > Print & Scan. If you already added the printer while it was connected using USB, you might want to delete it and set it up again wirelessly to avoid confusion. Or, give them two distinct names e.g. "Photosmart D110 (USB)" and "Photosmart D110 (wireless)".
    All scanning functions are now performed using Preview, but you can also access the scanner through the same Print & Scan preference pane, or with Image Capture.
    This HP document may help explain how driver software is distributed now:

    Is the iPod still singed into the account isn Settings>iTunes and App Stores and SettingsZ>iCloudl? If it is then I would not be concerned.

    For the other "problem", go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says Prevent iPod....automatically syncing.

    Your notes should be stored in your backup, so if you have backed up the iPad and that backup does contain those notes that you deleted, you can try restoring from your backup. If you haven't backed up the iPad since you created those notes, they are gone.
    If you backup with iCloud only, restoring from backup involves erasing the device and then going through the setup all over again and finally restoring from the iCloud backup. This article explains the process quite clearly.

    If you backup with iTunes, connect the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and right click on the device name on the left and select - Restore from Backup. But before you do that .... turn off auto sync in iTunes - without connecting the iPad - launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices and check the box at the bottom of that window in order to turn off auto sync.
    Email messages are not stored in your backups.

    Oh!
    First thing I think would be to do a search for the folder in case it's somehow got moved.
    Failing that, you can retrieve the folder from your original installer disc using Pacifist.
    Insert the disc (don't boot from it) and open the installer package with Pacifist. Navigate to the Desktop Pictures folder (might be a bit more fiddly to find in the package structure). When you find it, select the folder, right-click (or ctrl-click) and select 'install in default location' from the context menu.
    Exit Pacifist and eject the disc.
    Best of luck!

    you are responsible for reinstalling any apps.  It is not Apples responsibility as outline the the service agreement.  Do you have the product key?

    I need help please.
    thank you

    The backup does not include synced media like apps and music. You can redownload them by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    If you used PhotoStream get them from your stream. See:

  • I accidentally erased some songs from my iPhone? Can I get them back?

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you made a Time Machine backup before deleting the applications, you can recover them from your backup. Just go to the Applications folder, and open the Time Machine app, so you will be able to recover the applications just navigating through your backups.
    However, there are some applications that won't work after doing this, because they require other system files. In this case, you will have to download the apps again from the Internet and install them using the installer

  • I recently reset my computer to factory settings. I re-downloaded iTunes, but lost most of my music and all of my playlists in both iTunes and my 4S.  How can I get this back?

    Restore your media from the backup of the computer created prior to restoring the computer.
    You did create a backup, correct?  Not doing so would be extremely unintelligent.
    iOS devices are NOT backup devices.

  • The smaller picture in face time bounced around the screen and has disappeared. How can I get it back.

    The smaller picture in face time bounced around the screen and has disappeared. How can I get it back.?

    I take it this was during a call? Close the app and open it again.
    Failing that, and when the call is over, do a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank. Be patient, the device will power ON again in the normal way. It is app and data safe!]

    Hi
    Welcome To Lenovo Community
    I presume that you have got preinstalled windows 7 System, Which you upgraded to Windows 8 now you have downgraded to windows 7. I have few questions & suggestion
    How you downgraded to windows 7 using Recovery System or using windows OEM Disk
    I am presuming that you have used the OEM disk, I would suggest you to use the OKR feature to restore to factory default by press F11 button during Post i.e.. When Lenovo Logo is displayed and follow onscreen instructions
    Have you created a set of recovery media? If yes you can use these to recovery your system
    Note: Before using above steps please ensure you have backed up your data
    Hope This Helps
    Cheers!!!

    Not sure why you posted your iPhone question in the support forum for the Apple routers.......the AirPort Time Capsule, AirPort Extreme and AirPort Express.
    You will likely receive a more informed answer if you post your iPhone question in the iPhone support forum. The link is just below.

  • The Apple Store recommended wiping and reloading software on my Mac Mini yesterday.  In the process I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage Band.  How can I get them back?

    I took my Mac Mini to the Apple store yesterday since I was having trouble with difficult to read text.  They recommended wiping the drive and reloading it.  I lost iMovie, iPhoto and Garage band in the process.  How can I get them back.  The App store says they are already installed.

    What I missed was that I needed to select "Purchased" rather than using the normal listing of items.  Once I went to the purchased list I could easily download the various software.
    Thank you all for your help.
