How do i restore emptied trash in system 10.4.11?

Only possible if you have stopped using your Mac so the file space doesn't get overwritten, and you use a date recovery company (expensive).

How can I restore emptied trash?

I know this is a dumb mistake. That said, I moved two Excel documents to the trash and emptied it (regular empty trash, not secure empty trash). Is there any way I can get the two files back?

You can also go try FileSalvage, as it is very powerful.
Also if you could take your drive and use it under a Windows machine, I know several other programs, most of them free to use.
I recall FreeUndelete, PCI File recovery (not sure about this one though) and TestDisk.
Yes, I am showing Win programs, because I tried finding the same alternatives for Mac, free, and it didn't happen to exist. By free I mean freeware also.
One last and important note, if you wish very much to recover these files, it is best for you not to do anything with your mac, or at least the drive. By anything I mean anything that could ask the computer to write on the disk itself. This is all because the "room" occupied by your exel files on the physical disk is now know by the OS as empty, but the disk itself don't go at the "room" and put zeros all the way. Meaning, your files are still preset, but not for the OS. And as soon you will write down something on your harddrive, the OS will simply find the nearest empty spot, being perhaps where your exel files were.
Worst, OS X support some sort of dynamic defragmentation, which replace all the empty space by files (so the disk is continuous) as much as possible, when you actually open files.
Your best bet so far is to try out Dale's program, or perhaps switch to a Win computer and try, and try as much as you can not to write on the disk.
Hope this will all be of help and good luck.

thank you
in this case if i use count like below :
select 'select ''' || table_name || ''' from ' || table_name || ' having count(*) = 0;' from user_tables;
its suppose to work right ?I don't know. What did you get when you tried it?
And we still don't really know what the OP thinks he wants. He posted a rather vague and confusing "requirement" and people started jumping in with solutions without finding out the problem.Yes its did , but like you said we need solution.Before we can offer a solution, we need to know the problem, which the OP still hasn't been able to articulate.

How do I restore sound on this system?

I have a a Compaq Presario SR2037X that I got from a family member. I have only the system itself, no driver discs or anything. I put in a new HDD and graphics card, and I installed WIndows XP onto a clean drive.
Right off the bat, the system couldn't utilize any of the hardware on the board. I found most of the drivers at this page: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/softwareCategory?os=228&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=en&sw_lang=&product=33033...
and installed them to restore most functionality.
The sound drivers required an additional driver for "HD Audio," which I found elsewhere. Yet when I then ran the driver-installer on that page for the audio, it unpacked a bunch of stuff and then closed, never even saying it was successfull in its installation. I was left with four or five identically-named audio devices showing up as unknown devices in the device manager, plus a few other unrecognized audio componants.
I next installed the drivers for my graphics card, (which is by nvidia, same as all the built-in fixin's on the MoBo,) and the drivers it installed *seemed* to fix those audio drivers, as now the device manager recognizes them ad Nvidia audio devices. (Once again, a list of four identically named devices in the device manager.)
However, I still have no sound. When I open up the "sounds and audio devices"-properties in the control panel, it simply says "No audio device" and has all the controls greyed out. Under the hardware tab it lists the nine sound controllers I can see in the device managerm and they all claim to be working properly.
I do not know where else to find proper drivers for this built-in sound card. (I found several sites I've never heard of before that offer updated drivers, but I don't trust them.) I do not know how to get the system to properly recognize and operate what it already has. I do still have the original hard drive available, and could copy files from it if I had knowledge of what exact files are needed. How do I get sound working on this system?

Hi:
I recommend you reinstall XP and load the drivers from scratch using the links I have provided below.
Chipset. Install first and reboot. That should also install the network card.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/nforce_winxp_15.26.html
Next, install the graphics driver and reboot.
http://www.nvidia.com/object/winxp-285.58-whql-driver.html
Audio driver. Accept the agreement. Download and install the 6th one on the list (first one in green).
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=24&PFid=24&Level=4&Conn=3&DownT...
If you installed an add on graphics card, you will need the drivers for that. If your add on graphics card has HDMI out, it disabled your onboard audio.
The fix is simple. Go into your BIOS. Look for the onboard audio setting. Change it from Auto to Enabled. Save the setting there and again when you exit the BIOS.
You should now have onboard audio.

How do I restore my Trash Library in iPhoto?

I recently emptied my IPhoto Library. Now the Trash Folder or Library is missing from the left hand side of the Iphpot Screen. I cannot see what photos are in the trash. Hoe can I restore this feature?

I recently emptied my IPhoto Library.
What exactly did you do? What do you mean by "emptied my iPhoto Library"? Did you empty the Trash, or did you delete your iPhoto Library?
If there are no items below the headline "Recent", like in the screenshot below, hover the mouse to the right of the headline, until the "Show" button will apear. Press it to reveal your items albums, like Trash, Last Import,...

How can one restore a trashed address book?

Hi,
My daughter recently upgraded her iPhone to the version 3.0 software.
When she finished the upgrade she said that all of the addresses appeared twice.
She deleted the dups but it appears that that deleted all of the entries...
Her address book was completely empty... and her mobile me address book was
also trashed.
I emailed my address book backup and she installed it but the only relevant addresses
are family members.
I seem to remember that iTunes did a 'backup' during the upgrade process.
Is it possible to 'restore' from the backup ( even though she has replaced contents
of the address book with my address book data and her address book 'syncs' with
mobileme)?
Thanks,
Jerry

itunes is not a backup program and doesn't make backups. I don't know what you mean here.
Is it possible to 'restore' from the backup ( even though she has replaced contents
which backup? do you have one? or are you talking about mobileme? if you have a backup you can restore AB from it. quit AB and restore the folder /users/username/library/application support/address book. if you don't have a backup there is nothing to restore from and your AB data is gone. I suggest you start backing up to prevent such problems in the future.
iTunes does have a Backup and Restore option.
Right click on the iPhone icon in the Devices sidebar that appears when the
iphone is connected to your mac and a context menu appears where you can choose
to Backup, Restore and other options.
Note that there is a 'Restore' Button on the Summary Page also....
I guess the question is "Does a Backup also backup the Address Book data?"

How can i quickly empty trash

The trash takes a long time to empty; any way to expedite the process.

If you’re choosing to empty the Trash securely, turn that option off; it’s only needed when deleting files which contain sensitive data.

How do I restore my Mac operating system after a botched uninstall of Bootcamp.

I completely botched up uninstall of Bootcamp.I wanted to uninstall and delete Windows 7 and re-do the operation. Bootcamp did not manage an uninstall and I got put back into a Widows install operation.Which won't re-install because it can't fiind a suitable hard disk. I have 4 sata harddrives installed, one contains the Mac OSX system files, one a Timemachine backup and one the Windows system.Other is data.
I have a boot USB. None of the startup keys (Press C during startup,Shift key, Cmd R ete) will respond.The machine just behaves like it has a windows BIOS and won't allow any way to see any of the Mac files.Nor will it accept any HD to try a reload of windows. I've tried replacing the data drive with a spare formatted for NTFS, but the Windows setup file won't proceed far enough to enable this to be tried. Any help. I just want to get back to running OSX again.

Have you tried press and holding the option/alt key while starting up so as to get the startup manager screen. I think you have too many drives attached for Boot Camp to install. Are these on the MacBook Pro you have listed?

Why does SECURE EMPTY TRASH take so long (several days)?

I am using OS 10.3.9. I didn't empty the trash for quite a while, and several days ago clicked SECURE EMPTY TRASH. The emptying process began but has not finished even now! Does it take THAT much longer when one uses SECURE EMPTY TRASH? I see that the little message window for Trash says:
Item to delete: 114,158 This number hasn't gone down now for several minutes.
Several times I have stopped the Empty Trash process to shut the computer down or just because I wanted to stop it, but it seem to me that after "Emptying the Trash" has been going on for so long, it ought to be finished by now. I welcome any sunlight you can shed on this. Thank you.

When you choose to Secure Empty Trash, the system
must overwrite the area where those items area a
minimum of 7 times for it to be considered secure.
When you have that many files in the Trash, this can
take quite some time.
So, unless you have something that is confidential in
the Trash, your best option is to Empty Trash
normally.
