How to recover files which are desapeared with a replacement of a folder

Hi, i will make a stupid question/ where are my files gone when i replaced a folder with a new one with the same name. Can i recover them?
Thank you for answer!

How did you replace the folder? If you trashed it, it should be in the trash. If you've cleared the trash, there are other ways, but TM should work as well, if not easier.
You should be able to Open Finder. Go to the folder in question. Click on the Time Machine icon on the Dock. If there is an older version, you should be able to go back in time and view the OLD contents. Click on the gears to restore. If it's not there, make sure you get the folder location absolutely correct.

How can recover files from a HD with damaged "permissions"

I had a second HD drive installed on my macbook pro with my iPhoto library and other files stored and, for my own stupid reasons, which had not been backed up for over 3 months. It was actually the original Toshiba boot drive that came with the machine. I replaced it with an SSD over 18 month ago no problems.
The drive now has permission errors which the OS X disk utility cannot repair. I cannot copy the iPhoto library to my main drive and half way through the copying process a get an "error reading disk" message. I cannot open the iPhoto library using iPhoto either.
I decided to remove the HD and replace with a new larger and faster drive as the existing one was probably over 5 years old. No problems with the new drive whatsoever.
I am tried connecting the faulty drive using a USB interface and running the disk repair utility - no difference. Although I was able to copy smaller files other than the iPhoto Library.
I am running 10.10.1.
Is there anyway or any 3rd party app that can recover the iPhoto library? I don't want to waste money buying one of these so called great apps that ends up doing no better than the standard OS X. I read somewhere they all use the same code within OS X to repair anyway!
Ideas appreciated. The iPhoto libabry has my daughters 2nd birthday photos on it and our last holiday therefore I am in big trouble.

Try to to open the iPhoto Lib (right click) and Show Package Contents. Go to the the Masters folder (it must be organized by date folders), choose an image or folder and see if you can copy instead of the iPhoto Lib.

Can't open recovered files, which are now Unix Executable Files

My external hard drive, where I kept my Final Cut Pro documents, recently died. I hired someone to recover the data. Now, when I try to open them in FCP 6, however, I get the message "File Error: Wrong Type". It says they are "Unix Executable Files". Looking back in this forum, none of the previous solutions have worked for me--like adding .mov to the file extensions, for example.

ah, the subtle difference between a movie or media file and a project file.
Thanks for posting your solution, hardly anyone ever does that around here. And congrats on the rescue! We rarely hear of a successful data recovery on media files but this was a data drive, yes? You could help future users who suffer catastrophic drive failures by posting your contractor and the cost if you want to share that information.

How to Check files which is older than 14 days in particuler folder using IF condition in Batch script

Hi,
I have to check the zip files created before 14 days by using Batch script.
Any conditional statement needed ?
Thanks,
Jitu

But this script is failing if the files are not present in the same folder.
So I am thinking to loop the statement to check if files are not there exit from the loop.
The script does not fail - it reports that no files are found. You can detect this like so:
if %ErrorLevel% NEQ 0 echo "There are no zip files!"
There is no loop in your script that you can exit from.

I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

I have a new Apple TV which is working fine except that I cannot access .mov files which are in my iTunes Library. How can I get to these? I can run them on my computer and select Apple TV on the screen, but the Apple TV goes to a black screen

Mov is a container format, you'd need to look at the codec used by the movie file inside the container to know whether it will work with the Apple TV or not.

How can i restore the files which are important to me which i suddenly delete the files in download?

i nid to restore the file which i suddenly delete in download.. i was about to delete the files which are not important but i suddenly delete the files which are important... how can i restore it??

Check the Windows recycle bin, you may be able to recover the files from there. Right-click on the recycle bin icon on the desktop and select Open. This will open Explorer, if the files are listed there, right-click on them and choose Restore.
If the files are not in the recycle bin, you can try a file recovery utility such as recuva - http://www.piriform.com/recuva

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

How do I copy my old xl files from my XP machine to operate on xl for Mac on my new iMac. When I copy them onto a stick and transfer them it automatically makes them xls files which are then corrupted when I try to open them in xl for mac

Sorry, yes this is Microsoft Excel. The Microsoft XP has Excel files denoted as xl, the later versions of Microsoft Excel are denoted as xls files. The later verions of Microsoft Excel open the xl files OK, does Excel for Mac not able to do this?

How can I copy mp3 files which are already located by itunes to the actual itunes folder?

Dear all,
I would like to transfer my whole itunes library to a new computer. I know that this can be done by copying the whole itunes folder on the old computer (if you want to keep all the data of the itunes files). However, I have a little problem. Since I had a long period in which I did not download music from itunes or I got music from others, most files are not in the itunes library folder. I kept them in many different folders all over my hard disk, because it is a quite big collection from the past decade orso. In that time, I just dragged the files to itunes, so itunes can now locate them. They are not in the actual itunes library folder though. Is there a possible way to let itunes locate the files (it already has the locations) and put/copy them in the itunes library folder?
Thanks in advance!!

With these options selected in Edit > Preferences > Advanced:
select File > Library > Organize Library... When you get this prompt:
check the Consolidate files box and - if not greyed out - the Reorganize files ... box, and click OK. iTunes will then copy any media files that are not stored in the iTunes Media folder structure into it, so that you can then copy the complete iTunes folder to your new computer.

How can I send scanned files, which are documents changed from doc to PDF, as documents that can be edited if the recipient doesn't have Adobe capabilities?

Hi flaviusjack,
If you still have the .doc files, it might be best to send those to your recipients so they can be edited. Otherwise, you can use ExportPDF to convert the PDF files back to .doc format. But, again, that step would be unnecessary if you have the .doc files.
Best,

You should always have your apps on your computer. If you have failed to keep a copy of the old app versions, then you cannot get them back at all.
Sorry.
Many app makers no longer support the old ios and ipod models

Thanks in advance

You can, but how are you going to back up those other files? When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.
Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?
Not sure what you mean. You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom?

Where should I store the collatoral files that are associated with photos stored in lightroom? Items such as pdf files, word documents, etc. How should I connect them to each other so I can find both the photo and the related data?

Lightroom itself will not help you with pdf, word, etc.
However, there is a plugin you can use called AnyFile which will allow you to manage these documents in Lightroom (by assigning keywords and other metadata) so that you can search for all documents (photos, pdf, word, music, powerpoint, etc.) with given metadata.
Because you do this via metadata, it doesn't matter where you put these files. Put them anywhere you want.
