How do I find folder contents which were accidentally deleted?

They would be in your Trash. Unless you have emptied your trash since then, in which case you'd need to use a file recovery tool such as Data Rescue.
Of course, if you use Time Machine for backups, you can easily retrieve the file from TM.

Been using Macs since classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) of entire (non-visible) folder? Any apps that can do this?

Been using Macs since before classic. Using MBP, OS 10.7.5. Trying to figure out how to print/save folder contents including what's not visible on screen (Name, Date Modified, Size Kind) in entire folder?
Screen shots are getting old hat.
Tried select all, copy, paste into pages, but it didn't display date modified, size & kind, and also included images of selected files, which is too large.
Any apps/shortcuts/utilities that can do this? Thanks in advance.

Hello Achates:
I did not read the rather long post. If you wish to reinstall OS X 10.4, use your software install DVD. Backup is essential. To minimize your risk, I would use an archive and install:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107120
In that way, you will have a fresh copy of OS X and your current settings will be preserved.
Incidentally, I do not agree that the printer problem is best solved by reinstalling OS X. I have had HP printers for sometime and, on one occasion, had difficulty after an upgrade. HP technical support walked me through uninstalling all traces of the HP driver and then reinstalling.

How can I edit my content which is located in my iCloud? Such as my photos.

Any data you sync with iCloud can be "edited" in the sense that you can delete it, or in the case of email, move it to between folders, etc. You can't, however, edit anything in your backup, other than to include or exclude certain types of data from being backed up.

My mac book pro has got 41 GB of other stuff on it clogging it up how do I find out what is rubbish and delete it

my mac book pro has got 41 GB of other stuff on it clogging it up how do I find out what is rubbish and delete it. To free up some memory. I can't believe I have filled it up intentionally.

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Then reboot. That will temporarily free up some space. Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of your data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
If you're using Time Machine to back up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of files you've recently deleted. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install ODS in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size with the largest at the top. It may take a few minutes for ODS to finish scanning your files.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything while running ODS as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with ODS, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How dom I recover system preferences which I accidentally trashed from the dock

How do I recover system preferences which I accidentally trashed from the dock

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Although you removed System Preferences from the Dock, you still have it, because it is stored in the Applications folder.
To get the System Preferences icon back in the Dock, open a Finder window and select Applications in the Finder sidebar. Then, look for the System Preferences icon, and if you find it, drag it to the Dock

How can I find out user id who has deleted payment order

Issue : After payment run, the required information has been sent as Idoc to the bank. So, we know the payment order number. We observed that another payment run also has picked up this vendor invoice and made payment.
Usually Payment Sent will be marked X until the related information comes in the form of bank statement upload and this amount gets cleared.
We noticed that bank has made two payments for this amount to this vendor on different dates :- a) when the payment order supposed to be paid as per the payment terms and b) when second paymnet run paid the amount [ this time it got paid directly as there is long due amount ].
From SAP APP angle, both the payment run worked fine and also the calcaltion of payment terms as well.
So, we come to conculsion that someone has deleted the payment order from the system. Thats the reason this invoice got picked up by 2nd APP and paid the amount.
Where we could not find the related entry in REGUH/REGUP tables for this payment order and no document changes.
Question: How can I find out user id who has deleted payment order. Appreciate any clue / answer for this issue please.
Thank you
Sri

Hello,
Not sure about deletion logs. =/
Idea:
What if an error occured during the first payment? Have you checked sm13 to check if any update termination occured in the payment program?

Renan

I HAVE OLD iPHONES BACKED UP. how do i find the data and recover or delete dups and junk

You can't see the data inside the backup, and you can't restore just part of the data if that's what you're asking. To see the data you have to restore the entire backup.

How to reuse the process chain which has been deleted?

hi
guys
how to reuse the process chain which has been deleted?

if you want to "recover" the deleted process chain, try to check DEV / QAS / PRD. Maybe there is a copy still available
Or check the following tables in SE11: RSPCCHAIN / RSPCCHAINATTR
Good luck !

My 5 year old MacBook Air is telling me it "cannot save information about your mailboxes because there isn't enough space in your home folder. Quit mail, delete files you don't need, then reopen mail." What is "home folder," and which files to delete?

The home folder is where all of your personal files are kept.
Best candidates to delete are movies, videos, music and photos since they generally take the most space.
Don't forget to empry the Trash after you delete the file because the space is not returned until the Trash is emptied.
