how do i recover files after being trashed?

If you emptied the trash, you don't unless they are on your backup disk.

My mbpro would not start so re-installed (as instructed by the website) how do i recover files after i re-installed my OS? thank you.

my 13" mbpro would not start so i followed the instructions & turned out i needed to reinstall the OS. can i still recover my files after i erased & reinstalled? if yes, how do i do it? thanks.

If the system partition was erased, recovery of any files previously stored on it as identifiable entities is unlikely.
Keeping an external CarbonCopyClone of the startup disk (free download) gets you a bootable clone (with all applications installed) so you have a chance of cloning back onto the internal disk if you ever need to reformat the partition again.

How do I recover files after an unexpected crash on adobe premiere elements?

Hi,
so I use Adobe Premiere Elements 12 on a Mac OS X version 10.7.5. I was editing a project when I got a warning about my start up disk being 'almost full'. I ignored it and continued working. A couple of minuted later elements 'crashed unexpectedly'. I had done a lot of work on that particular project and desperately need to recover it. When I open the project in elements now it shows me the work I had completed the last time I edited the project, but none of the stuff I was doing before the crash.
Is it possible to recover the files? Please help!
Thank you

Were you working with the AutoSave feature on? If so, have you tried to open the latest of the AutoSave files by right clicking it, selecting Open With, and then Premiere Elements 12 (that is the Premiere Elements 12 Windows way). Does that work for your with Premiere Elements 12 Mac?
The AutoSave feature has two components - one defines how many "snapshots" of the project you will have at a given time and the other defines how often the snapshot will be taken. When the number of snapshots exceeds the number of "how many snapshots of the project you set for a given time", the oldest will be bumped off and so on goes the process - new, bumping off oldest one.
From what you wrote, it sounds like you are working off the latest AutoSave. If so, how many other AutoSaves do you have besides the one you opened?
See Edit Menu/Preferences/AutoSave.

How to restore photo file after empty trash

photos file have been deleted and trash is empty. please advise how to restore. many thx! cheers

Hey there TizJacky,
If I understand correctly there were pictures in your Mac OS trash which has been emptied, and want to restore them. In order to do this, you would need to have had Time Machine setup and backing up your computer before this occurred. This article will help you out if you did:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the very best,

Recovered files in the trash. How do I put them back to their original place so that they do not keep being recovered very time I open my Mac?

I keep getting the same recovered files in the trash. How do I put them back to their original place so that they do not keep being recovered very time I open my Mac?

The recovered files are temporary files used by Mac OS X applications. Usually temporary files are deleted by an application when it no longer needs them. If an application quits unexpectedly, the temporary files may not be deleted by the application. When you restart your computer, Mac OS X moves these temporary files to the Trash.
You can retrieve useful files by dragging them out of the Trash. In most cases, however, the temporary files are not important and it is safe to empty your Trash. Check with the manufacturer of the application if you are not sure.

"MerpAD RDC" file in Trash "Recovered Files" after every startup.

Does anyone know what this "MerpAD RDC" file is? It shows up in the Recovered Files in my Trash every time I reboot / startup. It's not causing any trouble, just curious as to what it is.

I have the same issue. I don't seem to see it everytime, but almost. I am going to try to keep better track of it. I have seen several different files show up here. Mostly this one.

Recovered file folder in trash

I have checked the forum and there are similar questions but... please help! still figuring out mac.
Situation: yes, I tried to load someone's copy of Adobe Photoshop which didn't work so I put the application in the trash.
Next, I bought a new Dreamweaver and installed it. All okay. (I suppose this is an Adobe question but when I open Dreamweaver, you get the welcome screen superimposed and see the actual desktop behind it. Don't know if this is normal.)
Now, I get this recovered file in the trash. If I remove it/empty trash, it reappears after starting up the computer. I dragged it to the desktop to open it...it opens with the Dreamweaver and looks blank. It says Zero KB size.
The file is: _xx41a7.TMP
How do I delete this or is this essential to Dreamweaver?
I intend to BUY the photoshop and want to be sure all is okay before installing it.
Thank you. I know I goofed with that photoshop.
(also, on the disk of the second hand Photoshop, I later saw a note: to safely uninstall, double-click the product installer in applications/utilities/adobe installers and select to remove components plus you need to Deactivate the Photoshop by choosing help, deactivate. I thought you could just move the app to the trash).

Nadia1,
I hope that your move over to the Mac has been as great as mine has. But, anyways lets get to the issues. I'm not sure about your superimposed question I've not opened Dreamweaver in a while, but if you mean its opening everything in little windows opposed to in Windows XP or Vista locking all windows into one then yes that is normal.
As for the recovered Files in the trash it is normal and is not. Applications use Temp. Files when they are in use and when the application is done running and is exiting its supposed to delete the files on there own. Sometimes they don't and when the computer restarts Mac moves the files to the trash. Its ok for you to empty them out. See http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=Mac/10.5/en/8982.html for more details. To Empty the trash either (ctrl) click the Trash select Empty Trash, go into the Trash Folder and hit empty in the top right, or click on your desktop notice that Finder is now the name of the application in the top left of the screen click finder and select empty trash.
In my opinion it sounds as if everything is fine, so you should be ready to get photoshop.
As for removing Program files from the mac. It is acceptable to drag the application to the Trash and remove it, It does indeed remove the program from said computer. However most applications have setting files that they make on launch in order to provide you with a much smoother experience. I've found that if there is a Uninstaller bundled with the software I would recommend using it to remove the program. And if not there are some handy little programs out there that make removing a Program and all its setting files a snap. Off the top of my head there is Appzapper, and AppDelete. I personaly use AppDelete because it was free, but AppZapper has a neat user interface.
Also in deactivating an adobe program, I know with my CS3 bundle I bought it only comes with one license. And in order to use the application bundled with it you have to activate with Adobes servers. that way they know only one is in use. In order for someone else to use that copy of Photoshop, if you indeed did activate it, you will need to deactivate as it says in the instructions.
Hope that this helped you with your issues.

Recovered files folder in trash on startup?

Hi um.. howcome when I turn my mac on theres sometimes a folder called Recovered files in my trash bin? is my Laptop not holding onto data?

*A folder called Recovered Files appears in my Trash*
One or more Recovered Files folder may appear in your Trash after restarting your computer. The recovered files are temporary files used by Mac OS X applications.

Recovered files folder in Trash - Yosemite

After installing Yosemite on both my mid 2011 Mac Mini and my late 2013 MBP Retina 13 I have noticed that every time I start either computer there is a folder called "Recovered files" in the Trash with the file "MerpAD Database Daemon" inside the Recovered files folder. I delete it but with each restart it shows up again. Any ideas where these files are coming from. Thank you for your assistance.

This is an update to my original post. I found a fix for the Recovered Files folder showing up in Trash. It was from the Microsoft Community Forum and it worked on my system running Yosemite 10.10.2 and Office 2011 14.4.8
Open Finder > select the GO drop down > select Go To Folder > then type in this command exactly as is: /Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MERP2.0
and select GO.
This opens MERP2.0 > double click Microsoft Error Reporting > select Preferences from the drop down next to the Apple menu > Uncheck "Enable Office Error Reporting". Close all the dialog boxes and restart the computer. The consensus from those posting to the MS forum was that they had to restart twice and this was the case for me as well. The first restart still produced the Recovered Files folder in Trash. On the second restart the Trash was empty. Hope this helps.

Recovered Files reappearing in Trash

Hi,
I wanted to know how I can permenantly delete a 'Recovered Files' folder in trash. I 'Secure Empty Trash' everytime and then the folder and its contents disappear. But once I shut down and reboot, the 'Recovered Files' folder reappears in the Trash.
All files that are deleted never reappears, but that Recovered Files folder returns everytime.
Thanks for all the help!
Regards,
glnikolai

Check the contents of the folder, and see if any files you desired to keep are there. If they are files that you don't know their origin, leave them there, as they may be temporary files for specific open applications.

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine. iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so. Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost. The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there. There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch. How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore? HELP...

Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
You can restore from an existing backup

Why are there recovered files in the trash

Since upgrading to Leopard I have found that there is very often recovered files in the Trash.
Nothing has crashed, but I find a folder called 'Recovered Files' which contains Quark Xpress file, or other items. Just today, I found the PDF log (created by Quark), plus a duplicate of this file in the trash. Neither of which will delete.
Then I found that Quark was still open. Quitting allowed the files to delete, but they did not disappear from showing in the trash, they just weren't physically there.
Anyone help?

You're right!!
I looked for an answer and I found it on Microsoft's site:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macoffice2011-macstart/i-keep-getti ng-an-empty-file-in-trash-at-startup/e5760e59-9e5f-4a0a-8766-dac6a73af148
1. Open application Office error reporting, the application is located in this folder
/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/MERP2.0
2. Go in preferences
3. Uncheck enable office error reporting
That did it... Thank you!
