Help! I've just accidentally deleted an important document-filled folder.

Hi, I hope someone can help me.
I've just accidentally deleted a folder containing many important documents. It's deleted, not simply just 'cleared'.
I'm using the Adobe Reader app on my iPad operating iOS 6.1.3
Is there any way these files can be recovered?
Thanking you in anticipation :)

The question is whether you do backups of your iPad. You can backup your iPad either to your computer or to iCloud. If you do either of these it should back up your data.
If you haven't backed it up, or do not have another copy on another device, you're out of luck.
Backup is an essential principle of using computers, and the iPad is another kind of computer.

I believe that you can download a demo of Data Rescue 4, and the demo will give you an idea of what it can recover. If it looks promising, you then can buy the software.

Please help I just accidentally deleted a very very important note from my "Notes" on my iPhone 4s. How can I get it back? Is there a "Trash" file somewhere for deleted notes? Thank you, Susan

Had you never backed up the phone before? When you saw the iTunes logo and cable, the device was in recovery mode. The data was already lost. The only way to recover from that is to restore the device, which will delete all of your data. You will only be able to restore to your last backup, whenever that was. Sorry this happened, but this highlights the importance of doing regular backups. The backup is the only protection you have against a problem like this.

I just accidentally deleted my Adblock Plus, (which had my own customize blocking rules) is it possible to restore this ???

Hi, Arrgh.. help!!
So I just accidentally deleted my Adblock Plus, (which had my own customize blocking rules) is it possible to restore this ??? (i'm blaming it on my strawberry yogurt.. for distracting me cause it was so good.....*note to self.....do not eat strawberry yogurt while on computer.) ..sigh!
It does seem that i still have a "adblockplus" file that is in my firefox profile files (though i guess that could be the file for the "Element Hiding Helper extension for Adblock Plus" which wasn't deleted.)
. . .i would very much like to restore it, as i mentioned above i had many of my own customized blocking rules, along with rogue antivirus/security/software, phishing, malvertising, malware blocklist, etc..
In the mean time i'm going to copy those "adblockplus" files that are in my firefox profile files (that i mentioned above) ..in a zip file on my desktop in case it goes missing, and go to "Adblock Plus" and add it along with a few of it's blocking rules for now.

Hi Teagan, were you able to recover your rules?
Many times, when you remove an extension, its preferences are left behind, so there's a good chance that reinstalling the extension will enable you to recover them. OR, it may reset them, which would be the opposite of what you want.
Could you provide any advice for future users who have this question?

I just accidentally deleted a video on my iphone 5... Is there a chance I can get it back? If so how?

I just accidentally deleted a video on my iphone 5... Is there a chance I can get it back? If so how?

If you backed up the phone when the video was still on it, restoring the backup will get it back. However, anything new on the phone since the backup will be deleted.

Help help help help. I just mistakenly deleted a Note from the Note App that I need. I don't use iCloud. The only place I have the Note app is on my iPad and my iPod. What can I do? Is there any help for this?

Help help help.
I just deleted a note from the Notes App form my ipad3. I don't use iCloud. The only place this note was is my iPod and iPad. Is there any possible way to recover this note?????
Thanks in advance

Thank you sberman, yes the first thing I did was check my iPod. Instant synching works great between the iPad and iPod, so it was deleted there as well. On both devices I have my Notes account to the same account.
I ashamedly have not synched to iTunes for ages. After I calmed down I realized that most of the info on that deleted Note I had copied and pasted from an excel file in November. I'm in the process of doing that again, and am only out the recent info.

HELP! I saved a document. Copied the document. Went to delete some extra characters. Accidentally deleted the entire document. Now I can't find my document. When I open the saved document, the page is blank. Does Pages save copied text anywhere?

I saved a document. Copied the document. Went to delete some extra characters and accidentally deleted the text of the entire document. I did not save a blank page. I cannot recover the lost text. Please Help. I'm NEW to Pages.

Hi Jan,
Copied text (or other copied material) is on the Clipboard, but only until you copy something else or log out of your account. If you act before doing another copy, you can paste the copied material back into the document. If you don't act right away, you may still have a path back.
One of the most useful keystroke combinations on the Mac is the "Oops! key," as a friend of mine once named it. That's command-Z, also known as "Undo". In some applications it will let you undo only a single step, but in others, including Pages, you can do repeated undos, so it's not quite so essential that you act immediately on making an error. Undo, done via the Oops! key, or via the Edit menu takes you back one change at a time. You can't skip any steps, so to get back to the state before the accidental deletion, you'll have to undo any work you've done since then. The memory of what to Undo disappears when you close the document or quit the application.
At that point you're at the mercy of your backup plan. If you've had Time Machine running, you'll be able to enter Time Machine and go back to an earlier, saved version of the file.
All these are in addition to the steps Ian suggested above.
Regards,
Barry
PS: Best piece of advice I can give a new Pages user (beyond Backup early and often) is to download and read through the first few chapters of the Pages '09 User Guide, available through the Help menu in Pages '09. Mostly pretty easy reading, and will get you through the basics without much trouble.

At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

What files are in the "All My Files" folder in an iMAC? I accidentally deleted all files in this folder. Any way to recover them?

Please help. I need to recover some important files.

I've had good luck with Prosoft's Data Rescue. You can download a trial to see what files are recoverable, and then purchase the software to recover. You will need an external drive to recover the files to.
Matt
And what ever you do don't use that hard drive AT ALL until you get your files back, if that's even possible. Even though the files may still be there on your hard drive the file system sees the space they occupy as availble to write to. And OS X WILL overwrite those files if you use the drive in any way.

I accidentally deleted my synchronized yahoo mail folder

Do I need to create a new folder for my synced yahoo mail - I accidentally deleted the folder when I was trying to "clean up" my yahoo mail folders.

Load your backup for the entire iPhoto library - there are no user servicable parts in the iPhoto library - that is why you have a backup to protect against hardware, software and human failures

Thanks!

HELP...accidentally deleted an important folder

How can I restore something I sent to the trash?
I am an idiot...didn't use time machine.

Verbolo
What file, maybe it still resided somewhere there?
My some what a-nal rules for trash are:
1. empty the trash regularly, (it's easier to see what your wiping out for good)
2. never put anything important in the trash (deleting files to free up HD space should be done with the trash empty and great care)
3. back-up everything important not only with TimeMachine, but also to a second external HD and or DVD's.
