How to recover lost photos from my mac book pro

I had photos saved on my harddrvie under Pictures folder.
I think they were deleted by mistake and i don't know when but sure more than two months if that matters.
please help i need them. client's work.

TimeMachine is automatic
Anytimevyou attach an external drive it either adds to list to backup r asks to use fr backup
Any operating system has some file and system backup mechanism
And Yu job s to buy and keep two or more backup sets, especially when business or there are involved
Consider cloud backup, I think Apple iCloud is not suitable there are others that will backup photos and affordable
This forum is not the one devoted to the laptop serves like MacBook Pro (Mac Pro is desktop tower workstations)

Transfer them to an external disk formatted in "MS-DOS (FAT)" with Disk Utility > http://pondini.org/OSX/DU1.html
If you have the pictures in iPhoto, choose them with the Command key, go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Export, and copy them to the external disk. Then, connect your external disk to the PC and move them.
If you have the pictures in Finder, steps are the same, but in this case, you will have to drag the pictures you chose to the external disk that you can find in the Finder sidebar, under "Devices"

This is not necessarily 100% correct at the current time.
As Dropbox is encouraging people to set it up for automatic uploading of photos they gradually increment your space as you load more pictures for free at the current time.
You do start with a fixed 2 GB but if you upload photos you will be awarded more free space.
You can also open a free account with Flickr - you may have some upload limits per day but you can upload pictures there.

How can I delete files from My Mac Book Pro safely to create more space?

Hi,
I need to delete files from my Mac Book Pro and I am not sure how to do it safely without affecting my computers drivers or operations.
In my Finder - All Files Section there are certain files in the Preview, marked as "PNG Image", Window Image, GIF image, XLM. when I look at them they seem scripted or sections of an image. How do I know which files are safe to remove
I seem to find a lot of duplicated files - is there a way of stopping this from happening?
Thanks from a little frustrated Mac Book user.

How to import itunes library from a mac book pro to a new mac air?

How do I go about accessing my itunes library from a new mac air?
CD's and downloads were originally used to create my library on a mac book pro. Can I now access this on my new mac air?

If there is space on the Air, you can use Migration Assistant to transfer the data. (Go into Applications/Utilities, and run Migration Assistant from there - it will tell you what options you have for data transfer). If you wish to keep both laptops, you might look at using iTunes Match, which will make all your music available on the Air but not necessarily download it.

How to recover lost data from a mac that was erased and locked using findmyiphone app

Hi,
My macbook pro was locked and erased using find my iphone app then it was recovered. I entered my pin and unlocked it. I then have the option to reinstall the OS on a new hard drive or my old one (which is blocked).
What do I do if i want to recover all of my old data?

Alas the answer is : NO
If you have an external HD, you may try tun run a recovery tool instlled on this external device searching for keystring "index.xml"
With a bit of luck, it will retrieve an old copy of your document.
I hope that this time you will understand that working the way you did is playing with matches.
Whe you work on a document already saved once, duplicate the document before opening it and check that both copies are OK.
This way you will have at least a copy containg the datas from the 25 first day.
During the working session, don't save with the name of the opened doc, save vert ten minutes with different names.
Doing that you will recover at least the copy which you opened.

How do i uninstall software from my mac book pro

I installed canon software on my mac, I would like to uninstall, it will not drag to trash can

Best way to uninstall programs or apps
The best way is to contact the developers site for uninstall instructions, especially if the software required you to enter your Admin password to install.
It might have placed "hooks" into the OS X kernel called kext files that load when OS X boots up or in other locations that require a uninstaller to use root level power to uninstall correctly.
If one simply only drags the application icon they see in their Applications or Utilities folder to the Trash, what happens is these leftover parts in OS X itself don't get updated for compatibility with later OS X updates and/or might cause a security or stability issue later on which the machine will boot to a "Gray Screen Issue" and remain stuck.
Self contained programs/apps
If the developer then says it's perfectly fine to drag the application icon located in the Applications or Applications > Utilities folder to the Trash, then you can do that. These types of programs are what we call "self contained" meaning everything it pretty much requires is inside the Application icon which is really a hidden folder called a "package".
Since "self contained" programs or apps can be run from just about anywhere they are placed, like in User Account folders so only that User can run them, however for global use amongst all User Accounts on the machine and in most cases of installers, they are stored in the Applications and/or Applications > Utilities folder.
Keep your Downloads folder clear
It is not advised to keep downloaded programs in the Downloads folder, rather to keep this clear at all times except during a known active download as to be wary of bad websites that will cause a "driveby download" hoping one will click or run to infect their machine. The Downloads folder is not a storage place, rather if you wish to keep a installer, place it someplace else in your User folders, like creating a folder called "Installers" or "Downloaded PDFs" and keeping them in your Utilities or Documents folders in your Home directory.
Concerning appdelete/appremoval type software
It is not advised to use "appdelete" type programs for the fact that there are hundreds of thousands of programs/apps and developers changing them all the time, thus it's almost impossible to keep up with all the changes. So as a result many of these appdelete type programs rely upon using a search feature and hoping the developer tagged their files with a name to locate files, which is not always the case. Accidents occur as users of these type programs delete other files or not get all parts installed by the developer.
Many developers use other developers software, like Pace for copy protection or Soundflower for a audio driver, when they install their software, thus the appdelete type software misses these files installed in the OS X kernel which then later get outdated or have security issues that are not fixed as the parent program is missing that does the updates.
The Dock
The Dock doesn't contain real programs, those are what's called "Aliases" or Windows users would know as "Shortcuts" which direct to the actual program, file or folders located elsewhere. To show the location of the real item in the Dock, right click and select Open > Show in Finder. The item there is the real thing, that's what is dragged to the Trash to delete (then Finder > Empty Trash to permanently delete it).
To delete the icon off the Dock, merely drag it's icon off onto the Desktop area and release, it does a puffy smoke thing and disappears.
To place a mistakenly deleted Alias off the Dock back on, locate it by clicking on the Smiley Face in the Dock to open a new Finder window, then navigate to it's actual location and drag it's original item into the Dock until it makes room and release. If you accidentally drop the icon on the Desktop, place it back in it's original location first, then attempt the Dock again.

I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud

I lost my iPhone 5 how can recover my photos from the iCloud?

The only way photos are stored in icloud is in a backup from an ios device. This assumes that icloud backup was turned on and that camera roll was turned on. Note that photo stream is a slightly different service that is used to sync photos from one device to another, it's not really a storage service.
To retrieve photos that are in a backup, you need to reset a device (wipe all data from it) and perform a restore. Note that many users have had problems getting their photos back from a backup - for one reason or another. Remember, the suggested way of storing photos is to sync them to a computer or service like Dropbox.
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
Go to Settings>General>Reset and tap Erase All Content and Settings. This will erase your device. Then you will go through the setup screens again as you did when your device was new, and when given the option, select Restore from iCloud Backup.

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac? Thanks a lot. Carlo Molinari (Rome - Italy)

How can I do to transfer all iTunes library from my Mac book Pro to Time capsule without to lost the alphabetic sequence of songs & artists? What is the correct way to transfer my 3000 songs to Time capsule, to free the memory of my Mac?
The following are the basic steps to transfer your iTunes Media folder from your MacBook Pro to the Time Capsule (TC). Note: You will leave the iTunes Library, and its associated files, on the MacBook Pro as you will only be moving the media files.
Be sure to shutdown iTunes before starting.
Next, move the "iTunes Music" folder, located in ~/Music/iTunes/, to wherever you want on your TC's internal hard drive. Remember to leave the Album Artwork folder, as well as the three individual library files where they are on the MacBook Pro.
Wait a while. If you have a large library, this will take a bit of time.
Once the iTunes Media folder has been transferred, open iTunes. Note: It will still be looking at your local iTunes Library on the MBP. As such it will think that the iTunes Media folder is still on the MBP as well. However, we just relocated it to the TC. If you attempt to select any song, you will get an error that the song is "missing." Not to worry, we will correct this in the next step.
We need to tell iTunes the media has moved to the TC's internal HDD. To change where iTunes "looks" for the media, open iTunes and go to the Advanced > General tab and use the "Change..." button to tell it where your new "iTunes Music" library is located.
Once this is done iTunes will likely pop up a progress window telling you that it's re-analyzing your library. Let it complete this step.
As a final check to make sure everything when as planned, click on any library file from within iTunes and press cmd + i (or View > Get Info). At the bottom of the Summary tab in that window is a "Where:" section that tells you the actual file path to that piece of media; be sure that path begins with the name of your TC's drive, and not "Macintosh HD."
