Check out software like Data Rescue 3 (and you need an external drive to recover to)

  • How can I permanently delete files from my Mac before I give it away?

    I would like to get rid of any pictures, term papers, emails, but keep the Adobe Photoshop on there that I downloaded from iTunes. I'm sure someone would enjoy it.

    Well, except you have no right to include purchased commercial software with it unless you also delete that software from your other machines and never use it again yourself (and you need to include any original purchased media for the software along with it).  You purchased a license for you to use it, not for you to sell or give it to someone else to also use.
    Also, since you bought the software online from Apple, it is permanently tied to your AppleID, so nobody else could ever update it, or re-download it if needed anyway.
    As far as getting rid of the machine, the best approach is to completely erase and re-install the base OS you bought it with.  That will erase all your information and data and give the new owner a nice clean slate to start with so they can set it all up as they wish to.

  • How can I recover my files from a My Book Essential 3TB external hard drive?

    The hard drive was no longer showing up on the desktop or Disk Utility even after changing cables and power supplies. So I tried another remedy and took out the hard drive of the Western Digital case and put it in a Rosewill external case. Still no luck. The only thing that shows up on the Disk Utility is what I assume is probably the external case itself but it doesn't detect the hard drive. Are the files recoverable? Will a program like DiskWarrior work? I am a little irked by the price especially if it will not work for my situation. Please help! Thank you!

  • How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll?

    How can I recover deleted photos from my camera roll and my photo stream?
    Please, help me!

    I finally got up with a solution.
    All you need is the photo file from your last backup.
    You can extract this file from your backup by using iBackupbot for itunes. Get this via:
    http://www.icopybot.com/itunes-backup-manager.htm
    Once you get this file you extract the photos in form of original database file. The screenshots on the website will help you to know how to extract the files.
    Okay so now when you've got the photo file you simply need to SSH into your phone to /private/var/mobile/Library/photo were you'll already see a photo file.
    Replace the old photo file that you've extracted from the backup by the one that already exist in.
    Don't forget to keep an extra copy of the new photo file if in case you go wrong somewhere.
    It worked for me and I hope it works for you too.
    Thanks mende1, you were indirectly helpful.

  • How can I delete files from My Mac Book Pro safely to create more space?

    Hi,
    I need to delete files from my Mac Book Pro and I am not sure how to do it safely without affecting my computers drivers or operations.
    In my Finder - All Files Section there are certain files in the Preview, marked as "PNG Image", Window Image, GIF image, XLM. when I look at them they seem scripted or sections of an image. How do I know which files are safe to remove
    I seem to find a lot of duplicated files - is there a way of stopping this from happening?
    Thanks from a little frustrated Mac Book user.

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Transfer them to an external disk formatted in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
    If you have the pictures in iPhoto, choose them with the Command key, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export, and copy them to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the PC and move them.
    If you have the pictures in Finder, steps are the same, but in this case, you will have to drag the pictures you chose to the external disk that you can find in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices"

  • How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!

    How can i recover deleted photos from my iphone 5 - help!!
    I have tried many online programs but nothing seems to recover the last 60 photos i accidentally deleted.

    i have i cloud but because my phone memory had been so full lately i believe it wasnt being backed up?
    the last back up noted on my phone is 9 nov 2013 - i deleted the photos just on monday - does this mean i can still recover them somehow?
    they were never imported to a comp but yes the pics were saved on my photo stream buti acutally first deleted off photo stream. what i did was create a folder within my albums then added the 60 photos to the album, then deleted 1 off photo stream to test and it didnt delete from my new folder, then deleted all off photo stream and then i thought i could delete off camera roll, then did that and realised it also deleted off my new folder created - so was left with nothing!
    if you know anyway pls help?

  • How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad

    How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad, How can I transmit PDF files from my Mac to my iPad

    Yes you can definitely do this. You'll need an app on the iPad that handles PDF viewing and editing. There are many around - two of the best I've seen are GoodReader and PDF Expert.
    In iTunes when you iPad is connected to your PC, go to the Apps tab and scroll down and you'll see the File Sharing section. You can drag files to there to share them to your iPad.
    You could also look at online file sync services like PDF to ePub Maker if you prefer not to have to connect your iPad to a PC

    how can i convert video files from my mac to watch them on my iphone?, how can i convert video files to watch them on my iphone?

    Turns out the answer to that question changes if you ask it more than 4 times, so ask it again....
    The answer depends on the type of video files you want to convert.  If they are DRM protected commercial videos, no help can be given here.  Google.

  • How can I retrieve deleted trash on a mac book pro?

    How can I retrieve deleted trash on a mac book pro? I inadvertently trashed and then deleted a file from my computer. Is there any way to retrieve it?

    Only be using data rescue software - and there's always the chance that the file has already been overwritten.
    I've used Data Rescue 3 to succesfully retrieve files that I've trashed. It's an $100 gamble, tough, and there's no assurance that you'll be able to retriebve the file.

  • How can I recover deleted pictures from the iphone? I accidentally honeymoon pictures, is there some sort of recycle bin feature?

    How  can I recover deleted pictures? is there a recycle bin with iphone 4?

    No recycle bin. When selecting Delete for a photo in the Camera Roll, a big red Delete Photo button is provided along with Cancel. Selecting Delete Photos means deleted.
    Photos/videos in the Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. The Camera Roll is also included with your iPhone's backup which is updated by iTunes as the first step during the iTunes sync process. If you synced your iPhone with iTunes since the photos were captured by your iPhone and you haven't synced your iPhone with iTunes again since the photos were deleted, you can try restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup.
    If you have an iCloud account, you have the option to update your iPhone's backup wirelessly which is automatic when your iPhone is connected to a power source while connected to an available wi-fi network. With an iCloud account, you also have the Photo Stream option. All photos captured by your iPhone are placed in your iCloud Photo Stream. Deleting a photo from your iPhone's Camera Roll does not delete the photo from your Photo Stream.
