HELP Please!  If I deleted one of my accounts can I restore?

Hi,
I had set up 2 identities/accounts on my new macbook pro. I decided I would rather just have one combined so I THOUGHT I backed up all my info. Then I deleted the two accounts and did not ask it to save as a deleted account. Are my files associated with each account still hiding somewhere on my hard drive or are they gone forever? If they are still there, how can I get them back?
Thank you in advance for any advice.

Hmm, This is more than I know how to deal with. One more question for you before I give up:).
Do you have TM backups from before you deleted those accounts? If yes, you can recover the data from there. If you don't have a TM backup (and really, you should make one!) then you are in trouble. Still, I know that it's possible to recover data in such situations but I personally don't know how. Search the forums and keep asking for help.
best of luck.

  • HT1311 For some unknown reason I have two Apple ID/Accounts in operation which is causing an issue. How do I completely delete one of these Accounts?

    For some unknown reason I have two Apple ITunes/ID Accounts in operation.
    How do I completely delete one of these Accounts?

    I have a similar situation.. in my case, I started using an Apple ID a while back, then when MobileMe was introduced, I got an account there, and somehow that is the account that is mostly used when making updates or purchases.
    Sometimes when making updates, it prompts me for the PW for one account, and sometimes for the other.
    This is a real pain - is there anyway both these accounts can be consolidated into one?  When I asked an Apple rep, I was told 'no', but they have been known to make mistakes when giving advice.  So, is there a way?  Technically, I don't see this as a problem.. but Apple seems to be of the opinion that this would lead to having apps 'shared' amoung users. I think all that would be necessary if for me to provide the necessary proof that both accounts are indeed mine, and not belonging to someone else.
    If not, what about deleting the apps registered to one account, and then re-purchasing them with the other account?  To do this, I would need to identify which apps are registered to which accouts - is this possible? Most of my apps are free, but there are a few I paid for.. not many, so this possible solution might work and not cost too much.  Ideas?

    I have two networks one each in two cities.  Both are named the same but require different passwords. I am at my second location and cannot connect to this wifi network. How do I delet one network so I can connect to my second network?

    Just go to the wireless network preferences and empty out all the stored wireless networks.. then scan and connect to the local wireless.
    Select them and tap the - button below it.
    Once they are emptied out.. it might be good to reboot the computer with the remember networks unchecked.
    Start with a clean slate.

  • My sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile., my sister sync all my contact to her phone and then delete all my contact how can i restore them to my mobile.

    My sister sync all my contact to her phone with my apple id and then delete all of them how can i restore all my contact?

    It sounds like she deleted them all from your icloud account. If you have an iTunes backup, try this to possible recover your deleted contacts. http://support.apple.com/kb/ts4108
    If that doesn't work, you might be stuck as Apple doesn't usually have a backup plan for intentional user deletion. You can try to call Apple though and see if there is anything else they can do to try and recover that deleted info for you.
    Good luck and let me know if there are any other questions I can help you with.

  • I have accidently deleted my icloud acount, how can I restore it?

    I have accidently deleted my icloud acount, how can I restore it?

    Just log back into iCloud and if you have at any point backed up it will download and restore.
    If you backed up to iTunes on your computer then connect them and go through iTunes to restore.
    If you have no backups, it's probably all gone.

    Do i have to delete my ipad or ipod accounts to have the same Id

    You can't combine Apple IDs, and deleting one will mean that anything you've purchased will no longer be accessible.
    The best move to make depends on what you have on the different accounts (so it'd be helpful for you to post that). You can have two at once if you use one for content and one for iCloud.

  • HT204053 I have two itunes accounts and would like to delete one of them so that there is no confusion. So how can I delete one of the accounts???

    need to delete on of my itunes accounts
    any help. I've searched the apple website and can't seem to find any information on deleting an itunes account.

    It's not currently possible to delete an account, all you can do is remove any personal info from and stop using it - but any content that you downloaded from iTunes with it will remain tied to that account, and only that account will be able to re-download its content, authorise its content on a new computer, and download updates to its apps.

  • How to delete one apple id account when you have two

    How do I delete the apple id and password I use on my iPhone
    and just use the one on my MacBook for both devices.
    When I bought my iPhone I tried to set up my apple id on the phone using the same username and password as on my MacBook
    but it didn't like my password on the iPhone.
    The password was acceptable on the MacBook but the iPone required a more complicated password.
    So, I set up a separate Apple id on my iPhone
    and now I have two apple ids and I'd like to delete one and just use one for both devices.

    There's no way to delete an Apple ID. Just don't use it.

  • Automatic downloads only works with one Mac user account, can I get help?

    I have three user accounts on my iMac, and I set up iTunes Automatic downloading on my iTunes account on my iMac user account. Then I went to set up my brothers iTunes automatic download on his iMac user account but it said the computer was already in use, and gave me options like transfer or cancel. Just to clarify this was an attempt with one iMac two user accounts and two separate iTunes accounts.

    It appears we are all having the same issue, and for themost part talking about the same thing, but to reiterate:
    1) One (1) computer, to help distinguish the devices letscall it an iMac
    2) Two (2) or more distinct User ID’s on said iMac with fullAdmin permissions
    3) Each distinct User ID on the iMac has a distinct Apple IDwith an associated iTunes and iCloud account
    4) For every User ID / Apple ID there is a separate personwith their own iDevice
    5) None of the iTunes accounts, iDevices or Apple ID’s arecross sync’d
        5) (a) Forexample, Person 1 does not share apps, etc. with Person 2’s iTunes account. Weare assuming everyone distinct Apple ID / iDevice buys its own App’s, musicetc.
    6) Only one (1) of the iMac User ID’s and that User ID’sassociated iTunes and iCloud account can have auto-download and iCloud servicesactivated at any one time.
    6) (a) Just to be redundantly clear,that means that every other User ID / iTunes – iCloud ID/ iDevice CANNOTauto-download or sync to iCloud
    Somewhat reformed PC guy here (wife is a life long Macuser), but all I can say is are you (*&^%$%^&* kidding me?
    If I wanted these problems, and didn’t care about aestheticsor battery life, I would have stuck with Win-crap / Android for 50% or less ofthe cost.
    Besides my preference for the Win-Devil UI (I know, I know…)I cannot believe after spending more than $4,500 on iFleecing this summer I amstill having issues like this (Mac Air, iMac, iPhone 4- two and the buy-out oftwo cell contracts).
    Granted, when I plug something in, it works… the way Stevethinks I should want it to function.
    In the hopes of avoiding some iFlogging by my fellow usershere, I concede the superiority, in every conceivable way, of all of thehardware and even like the MS Office suite in Mac better (at least not less). Ihave no intention of going back to the Win-Devil (don’t even run an emulator oneither computer), but this is a Windows-like screw-up.

  • Contacts deleted, SD card empty. Can I restore to earlier date?

    I attempted to "resync" my emails by deleting my email account and then reinstalling it along with a new email account. As a result, nearly all of my Contacts were delected. How do I retrieve them? I have Backup Assistant and went to the Verizon website to Manage My Contacts but there were the same remaining ones as in my phone - - all of the others are gone. My SD card appears empty. Please, please, please, please help. I store all of my information in my contacts.

    Assuming you have the galaxy s3 or other android phone, go to your google account(gmail.com) from your computer and sign in. Then in the upper left corner you will see gmail with a little red arrow pointing down. Click on that and choose contacts. See if your contacts are still there. If they are sync them back to your phone.  If they have been deleted you have so many days to restore the contacts that you had.  Search the site to learn how to do that. Hope this helps!
