How to recover all files.

It's my first time plugging my mom's IPhone 5 into my laptop since she doesn't want to upload songs..this time she wanted me to upload ringtones from my itunes. Soon as I plugged it in, it restored as a "brand new phone" and every thing was gone such as pictures, text messages and videos. All the contacts and apps are still intact. Is there anyway that I can recover all my mom's files?

You can place them in ANY other Folder, or create a new Folder ON the desktop or any other location just for this purpose.
But loose on the Desktop is NOT a good place, because your Mac cannot suppress the urge to show each and every icon from the Desktop folder on the background wallpaper.
If there are a lot of these files, it can slow your Mac way down just trying to display them all.

    How exactly did you shut down your laptop? Not a hard restart (holding down the power button), I hope... if that's the case, then it is extremely unlikely the file is still intact on your computer. If it is, it would be an image on your RAM, and it is time-and-resource-intensive to recover it if it is even there. RAM memory is disposable and always being written over. Sorry dude...
    If it wasn't a hard restart, Keynote should have made a backup, unless you 'Force Close'd it.
    It really all depends on how your mac was shut down.

    Firstly, you can rely on iCloud or iTunes to recovery iPad data, such as recover deleted text messages, photos, notes, restore iPhone contacts, after all, it is free. 
    1. Connect your iPad with iTune on computer 
    2. Right-click or control-click on the iPad icon under iDevice on iTunes 
    3. Select "Restore from Backup" from the given options 
    4. After it finishs, your contacts are back to your iPhone

  • How to recover lost files in iMac due to software update

    iI accepted an automatic software update in Mac; it restarted my computer and all files created in the last three days disappeared. Any ideas on how to recover those files?
    Thank you!

    If all your files are missing
    You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
    If files are missing from one folder
    Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
    If files are present, but seem outdated
    You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

  • How to select all files in "user dir" (LastAccessedDirectrory) using applet

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me " How to select all files in "user dir" (Last Accessed Directrory) using applet"?
    For this which method in applet used?
    Thanks in Advance.

    1) Do you want "user dir" (watever that is) or do you wnat the last accessed directory? Last accessed by what/whom?
    2) Applets can't access the local file sytem, and for good reason, unless they're signed and the client has given permission.

  • File Dialog - How to remove all files pattern in LV 8.x

    How to remove "all files" pattern in LV 8.x in the file dialog.
    Is it possible?
    Thanks
    Dany
    Dany Allard

    If it is a security issue, you will probably need to implement a custom dialog and actively filter for file types.  No matter what pattern you have showing, the user can type a pattern into the dialog and get anything they want.  In addition, file extension is not sufficient to determine file type.  You should probably check the file itself to ensure it is an HTML file and does not have any embedded nastiness.
    Fortunately, custom dialogs are easy to make.  Using the event structure, you can filter inputs as well, so that only HTML files will be accepted.  Good luck.  Let us know if you need more help.

  • How to move all files but X to Y

    It doesn't really matter if it's in the terminal or if it's a applescript but I need to know how to:
    Move all files in a dictionary but a few named.

    Could you pleas explain more?
    If you do not understand the shell while loop, it is possible that using shell commands is a bit more dangerous than you might want to try.
    The explanation:
    ls -a | grep -v "X" | while read file
    do
        mv "$file" "Y/"
    done
    ls -a will list all the files in the current working directory (including the invisible files that start with a leading period.  Thinking about this, maybe you do not want to include -a.  You could cd /path/to/the/desired/directory as a way to set your current working directory as the directory you wish to move things from
    cd "/path/of/the/from/directory"
    ls | grep -v "X" | while read file
    do
        mv "$file" "Y/"
    done
    The ls command's output is piped (the vertical bar | ) into the grep command (general regular expression parser).  The -v option tells grep to throw away any lines (filenames) that match the regular expression "X".  So if the regular expression X matches all the files you do not want to move, the filenames send to the next pipe will be the files you wish to move.
    The while loop will read the filenames grep has selected and invoke the mv (move) command for each file selected by grep and move them to the destination directory Y
    The bigest risk is that you will execute this in the wrong directory and move the files that you need somewhere else.  OR WORSE, if "Y" is NOT a directory, and you DO NOT put a trailing / the mv could move easy file to the destination file, deleting the previous file for each file moved, so effectively deleting every file in the directory except the last one.
    This is why I said if you do not understand what is going on with the shell commands, you could do damage to your system.
    ls could have the /path/of/the/from/directory instead of using the cd command.  The grep command could be replaced with egrep that allows using alternate matching strings:
    ls /path/of/the/from/directory | egrep -v "abc.txt|def.jpg|xyz.mp3|etc..." | while read file
    do
        mv "$file" "/path/to/the/destination/directory/"  # notice the trailing slash for safety
    done
    Good luck.  I hope you do not destroy your system

  • MS word keeps crashing on my macbook air. it tries to recover all files when I try to open it then immediately crashes or freezes. It's ms word 2011 and I'm running OS X 10.7.5

    MS word keeps crashing on my macbook air. it tries to recover all files when I try to open it then immediately crashes or freezes. It's ms word 2011 and I'm running OS X 10.7.5

    I am having the same problem. When I save a document in word, particularly with track changes and comments, it freezes and crashes. I fould this forum as I was reading help posted in a previous forum and the "helping" comments were saying this must be a problem on the user end - but that can't be right as so many people are posting this problem. Its clearly an incompatibility between the software from two competing companies. Figure it out Apple!

    How to recover all my apps purchased form App store on my new iphone ?

    If your former iPhone or iOS device was backed up wirelessly with your Apple iCloud account, when going through the setup assistant with a new iPhone you are prompted to transfer the backup for another iPhone or iOS device. A record of all apps that are or were on the the other iOS device will be transferred to the new iPhone along with all other data included with the backup. Each app will be downloaded.
    Or all apps can be re-downloaded manually by the iPhone one by one, or if all apps are in your iTunes library on your computer you can transfer the apps to the new iPhone via the iTunes sync process.
