How can get back the empty trash

How can I get back my empty trash in my make book pro?

Basics of File Recovery
Files in Trash
If you simply put files in the Trash you can restore them by opening the Trash (left-click on the Trash icon) and drag the files from the Trash to your Desktop or other desired location.  OS X also provides a short-cut to undo the last item moved to the Trash -press COMMAND-Z.
If you empty the Trash the files are gone. If a program does an immediate delete rather than moving files to the Trash, then the files are gone.  Recovery is possible but you must not allow any additional writes to the hard drive - shut it down. When files are deleted only the directory entries, not the files themselves, is modified. The space occupied by the files has been returned to the system as available for storage, but the files are still on the drive. Writing to the drive will then eventually overwrite the space once occupied by the deleted files in which case the files are lost permanently. Also if you save a file over an existing file of the same name, then the old file is overwritten and cannot be recovered.
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 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.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • I have a MBP 15" with iPhoto 9. When right clicking on icon in dock 3 iPhoto libraries come up; one empty, one with 35,000 photos and one with 30,000 photos.  How can I delete the empty one and merge the other two without getting duplicates?

    You can delete the empty one by dragging it to the trash ( test everything before emptying the trash)
    Merging libraries requires iPhoto Library Manager - http://www.fatcatsoftware.com/iplm/ -  it is the only current solution to merging libraries

    It sounds like you destroyed your boot partition and the recovery partition.  Depending on it's age, your MacBook Air might be able to do a net boot.  Plug and ethernet connection into it and attempt to boot.  If it has the right firmware, it will find a net boot configuration on the net and boot that.  Then it will give you a Recovery Partition like display and allow you to reinstall the OS X version that came with it.... assuming that it was Lion or ML.  If your computer came with Snow Leopard, then even the net boot won't work. 
    At that point you need a bootable USB Key, or an external DVD drive AND a Snow Leopard installation DVD. 
    An Apple Store, if there is one nearby, MAY be able to get you going again.  However, whatever is on the SSD now will be toast too.

    I don't really understand your comment about "sing of tubes in RED which is wired". But if you are referring to the display of iTunes and the USB port that is an indication that you must restore your iPhone by connecting it to your computer via USB and then using iTunes on the computer to restore it.

    Your WiFi/Bluetooth chip has failed.  Bring the phone (and $199 if outside the warranty period) to Apple for replaceement.

  • Imported slide show into PE11 and some pics rotated unexpectedly, How can get back to horizontal?

    Imported slide show into PE11 and some pics rotated unexpectedly, How can get back to horizontal?

    winkhi
    Just what are the pixel dimensions of these photos that are automatically rotating on you in Premiere Elements 11 workspace after being transferred there from the Elements Organizer Slideshow Editor? Do I have that correct? If so, how are you making the transfer....Edit with Premiere Elements Editor, Burn to Disc, or other as Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor output?
    What is the scenario...from the camera to the computer hard drive, landscape; from the computer hard drive to the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor, landscape; from the Elements Organizer 11 Slideshow Editor to Premiere Elements 11 Project Assets/Timeline, rotated to Portrait?
    Do you find that the frequency of the problem is related to pixel dimensions, number of photos used? What is the format of these photos, jpg or other?
    Are you using the Rotation option in the Applied Effects Tab/Applied Effects Palette/Motion Panel expanded to correct the photo rotation?
    Just some thoughts for now.

    How can I get an overview of old text messages and phone call [personal detail removed]
    If you are the account owner, you can access the last year of calls records and the last three months of message summary (date, time, number texted, there is no where to see the text context) through your online account. Click on the HOME Tab once logged in and choose PRINT BILLS and then click on the pull down menu to choose any invoice for the last twelve months to view.

    Try:

    Or you can filter them out using where:
    var noEmptyStrings = items.Where(s => !string.IsNullOrEmpty(s));

  • Please how can get back to my iOS6 ? I do not llike the graphics of iOS7

    Please I need to know how I can get back my iOS 6.5. I just upgraded to iOS 7 but its graphics is too poor and it has a lot malfunctions I can not cope with. Please I use my iPad to earn my daily living in the studio and I do get quick help or solution, it will mean that a familly will be starved by upgrading to Apple iOS 7. Please how can I get back the iOS 6.5 back ?

    That policy is not going to keep thier users. It will force them to switch to other products. Just get a good graphic artist to compare the iOS 6 graphics with so called new iOS 7.4, they will definitely tell the truth about it. Its unlike Apple products, even the worse android mobile device is far better than it. I strongly advise that they quickly get back the design of the older version into this new iOS 7 before thy begin loose thier admirers. Apple's quality graphis is one the major factor that made them stand out in the market. they should fast about. As at now, I will go tomorrow to buy another brand of mobile device, cause' I have to feed my family. We realy missed JOB.

  • How to get back the emails from an old hard drive that has no more OS ?

    Hello,
    My computer crashed recently.
    The problem came from Windows somehow. So the hard drive is fine.
    since windows couldn't be repaired I just copied a disk image backup to a new hard drive.
    The problem is that I lost all the emails that were recieved between the moment I did my backup and now.
    I can still access the folder :
    %USERPROFILE%\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\XXXXXXXX.default\Mail\
    How can I use the files in that folder in order to get back my emails in Thunderbird ??
    thanks for your help!

    Thunderbird mail is stored in MBOX files. these will be locted in the mile folder (well sub folders) along with an MSF index of their contents with the same name.
    This add-on https://addons.mozilla.org/thunderbird/addon/importexporttools/ will import MBOX files. Once installed it adds an entry to the bottom of the Tools menu.

    I have updated my Mac to OSX 10.9.1. All text in the bars have been decreased in size after the installation. How can I get back the former size?

    In the iCloud preference pane, sign in to the same account you use on the other devices, if you haven't already done that. Then check the box marked Contacts.
