How do I get back my downloaded files that were deleted through terminal?

After taking advice from another discussion which was supposed to help me change the 'Invisible' file to being visible my tv show downloads deleted.... how do I get them back?!?!

You can try something such as Data Rescue 3 to see if you can undelete the files - I've had good luck with it and can recommend it. You may or may not be able to recover your files, depending primarily on whether the files have been overwitten or not.
Good luck,

  • How do I get back the old songs that were wiped out on my Ipod, when the new songs were downloaded?

    I recently had to have everything on my harddrive moved to an external harddrive by the Geek Squad. Subsequent to that, I purchased six new songs from Itunes, and downloaded them to my Ipod. When I did that, all 126 of my old songs were wiped out. However, Itunes still shows all of the old, as well as the new songs. How can I access the "older" songs so that I can then add them back to the newer songs?

    Hey LiLi521,
    I found a few articles that can help you out. Depending on what version of iTunes you're using, check out either:
    iTunes 11 for Windows: Set up syncing for iPod, iPhone, or iPad
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH12313
    or for older versions:
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iPod
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1351
    You can set up your iPod for automatic or manual syncing, and depending on which option you choose the process will be different. Either route you choose, by following those directions you should be able to get both your older songs and the newly purchased ones onto your iPod.
    Hope this helps,
    David

  • How do I get back my tabs after they were deleted during a recent update of Firefox?

    I recently updated to Firefox 5, and in the process, Firefox has erased all the tabs I had open in Firefox 4, and I want to know how I can get them back. It was a routine update, and everything worked fine, except that when I opened Firefos 5, I just got the welcome message, nothing else. No tabs from my Firefox 4 browsing...

    I can find them if I go back in the history, but they're from the last three four weeks, so it would take a long time, and I don't remember all of them. That's why I had them as tabs, but the tabs are gone, and I was kind of hoping that they could be restored...

  • How do I get back a add-on that I deleted?

    Hi.
    I deleted a add-on that I downloaded because I felt like it wasn't working anymore.
    Well, now I kinda want it back. I've tried everything in order to get it back. I've even uninstalled Mozilla firefox and downloaded it again to see if that would work, it didn't.
    I'd be really happy if you could give me an answer to this problem, is there any way for me to get it back?
    Thanks,
    Anita.

    Hello Anita, try to remember the add-on name and you can install it again from the next page :
    https://addons.mozilla.org/eN-US/firefox/
    hope it is compatible with the latest version !
    thank you

  • I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

    I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

    On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5.

  • How do you get your ring/text tones that were purchased back on your phone

    how do you get your ring/text tones that were purchased back on your phone

    Hey there oops31,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to know how to get tones that you’ve previously purchased on your iPhone 4s. The article linked below outlines the options for downloading past purchases and includes information about syncing tones from iTunes to your iOS device.
    Download past purchases - Apple Support
    Audiobooks, ringtones, and tones
    If you made a backup of these items on your Mac or PC, you can sync the items to your iOS device. You can't download these items again from iTunes in the Cloud.
    Cheers,

    You can't. iSync has been discontinued since Mac OS 10.7 Lion. iSync has no connection with iCloud anyway.

  • When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

    When I am viewing an E-Mail and click on a link, how do I get back to the page that had the link?

    I am replying to myself. I called for Tech support and found out that when I tapped on the link I went to a web page  in Safari and to double tap on the home button at the bottom of the iPad and then tap on "Mail" to get me back where I was.
    I hope this helps anyone else with the same question.

  • Can you recover files that were deleted?

    Hi everyone, is there anyway to find files that were deleted about 2-3 months ago? I don't have timeline and carbonite does not show the files either so they have to have been deleted over a month ago. I am a photographer and cannot find a clients session and I am afraid it was deleted...
    Thanks,

    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.
    Also visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on Data Recovery.
    Unfortunately, after such a long time, if the drive has been in use then the space occupied by the deleted files has most likely been overwritten by new files making the old ones unrecoverable.

  • My iCloud has been 'upgrading' for the last 12 hrs. That is, after I had pressed 'install after downloading the latest, improved version without entering my password. How do I get back to the window that will allow me to enter my password?

    My iPad has been 'upgrading' for the last 12hrs.That is, after I had downloaded the new version of iCloud, and pressed 'Install' without entering my password. It is probably searching for it. How do I go back to the window that will allow me to enter my password. I have tried switching off the device, but each time the 'upgrading' comes on. I have also switched it off and left it on the charger for at least 6 hrs.

  • How do I get back an imovie project that shows up in the Project library but doesn't show up in imovie itself?

    Hi Rour and vc38,
    A number of others here have posted about this problem, including me. See the following threads:

    It's best to report this to Apple, as the more they hear from us the more likely we'll get a fix (hopefully). There is probably a common issue with this, but I'm struggling to think of what may have triggered the problem. Was it a "recent" update to iMovie or OS X Mountain Lion, or perhaps another updated app conflicting with iMovie?
    To report the problem to Apple, in iMovie's menu click on iMovie > Provide iMovie Feedback.
