How to recover lost Picture Icon

I accidently moved the Picture Icon in the Finder Window & when I let it go it went up in a puff of smoke.
Another post with the same issue suggested "restart" and it worked for that person.
I tried restarting twice but it didn't come back.
How can I get it back?

Open your Home folder, click on the Pictures folder and drag to the sidebar. A new alias will be created.

How to recover deleted pictures on BB classic?

how to recover deleted pictures on BB classic?

Were the pictures on the microSD memory card? Was that the only place? Not sync'd to cloud service? Not sync'd or copied to a computer using Link?
If the files were on the card and only on the card, you can read the card with computer and run a utility (search) to find and recover deleted files. If the spaces where the pictures files hasn't been overwritten yet, then you should be able to undelete the file. You may not be able to undelete all files, depending. Whatever you cannot undelete is lost.
If you sync'd or copied the files somewhere, you can sync them or copying them back to the device, depending. Link does not delete files from the computer when they are deleted from the device, so if you were using Link to sync the pictures then you still have them on the computer. The same may or may not be the case if you are sync'ing using another method.

how to recover my pictures when phone went into recovery mode?

Perhaps you've been transferring them from your iOS device to your computer regularly, as recommended for any electronic image capture device?
If not, then learn from this hard life lesson, and backup the data that is important to you... regularly.

How to recover lost folders and files - Pls help, help...

Some days ago I lost all of my 15 GB folders and files that stored in my Macbook Pro hard drive called DATA. I brought my Macbook pro to an experienced computer tecnicians who providing data recovery services. To his and my suprise, after checking, scanning it a few hours, he said their is no way to recover because he did not find any trails at all. The computer still seems working properly - I have no problem with any applications. There are few other folders in the DATA hard disk containing pictures, computer programs still remain. These lost folders and files contain mainly documents (word, excel, power point, pdf etc) which I accumulated in my many years working !!!!. I did not make a back up since last September partly because I think Mac is very safe.
The computer with me all the time on that day and only my son used Power Point to make a simple presentation on that evening - he can not save it on the folders the he normally use - All the folders and files are gone.
I will appreciate it very much if any of you can tell me what would be the possible causes and more importanly how to recover the lost folders and files. They are very very valuable to me.
Many thanks for your kind attention

First, did the data actually get deleted, or is it still there somewhere? Try searching the drive for some of the documents, perhaps it's all just in another folder on that drive.
If it's truly gone, it's impossible for us to say what might have happened to make it unrecoverable. Perhaps someone using the computer used Secure Empty Trash, or securely erased empty space on the hard drive. Perhaps it was overwritten by other stuff before you noticed. It's possible the hard drive is starting to fail, though this seems like an awfully specific problem for that to be the issue.
Or perhaps the tech you took the computer to didn't know what he was doing. Why not try recovering what you can on your own? See Recovering deleted files.
You should be aware that no computer is safe. All computers rely on hardware that may fail and software that can have bugs. You absolutely MUST maintain a good set of frequently-updated backups... no fewer than two full backups of anything you don't want to lose.

How To Recover Lost Develop History Settings?

can anyone tell me how I can recover lost develop history?
I edited some files quite a few days ago. Today I launched LR and it did a backup, then when it opened the images were visible but with the ? and missing file message, because i had moved the files from the main folder into sub folders using Bridge. So I did a Sync on the main folder to bring back all the files....it relocated the files as per the new structure, when I realised all the develop history had gone. I think thats because it removed the missing files and imported the files again as new.
So I shut down, moved all the files back, and opened the backup file. The backup was created AFTER I made the develop edits. The images were back in orioginal location, but again no develop history, all files back to their original import. There are no issues with other files, some I worked on that day but did not move are fine.
I have LR backup to a external HD drive. The previews were in the default Username/Pictures folder, but now its rebuilding previews in the same folder as the backup on the external drive, and its taking ages!
Im puzzled why its doing this and why the dev settings have gone, I would have thought they would be in the backup catalog? As I moved the files back and opened the backup should they not be there? I dont have the save xmp sidecar enabled either.
Could it be that the previuos previews are on my hard drive, and now LR is rebuilding previews in the same folder as the backup on my external HD?
Phil

I don't have all the answers, but by now you've learned the hard way to make changes in LR if you're moving files about. As to Previews: they'll get rebuilt in the same folder as the .lrcat if none is there. If you have a catalog on the external, and launched from it, it's very likely it is building a Previews folder. I set mine to rebuild at a very small size in such a case. Or just have it build for those folders you need to check.
Now, if the external has the edits/history you want, run Export as Catalog on those photos you need to replace, then delete them from the internal, and run Import from Catalog.
Good luck!

How to recover iphoto pictures from a hard drive

My macbook pro got water on it and it doesn't work anymore. I bought a new one, but want to recover the information from the hard drive in the old computer. I am trying to recover my iphoto pictures, but I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive. Can you help? How can I recover the pictures from my iphoto library? Thank you for your suggestions.

Are you able to mount the old drive so you can access files on it? From your comment "I cannot open the iphoto version in my old drive" I'm assuming you can somehow.
Therefore copy the library to your new Mac and try to open the library from there. If you can copy the library to you new Mac but can't open it with iPhoto open it with the Finder and follow these directions:
Starting over from scratch with new library
Start over with a new library and import the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from your original library as follows:
1. Open the library package like this.
2. Launch iPhoto with the Option key held down and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
3. Drag the subfolders of the Originals (iPhoto 09 and earlier) or the Masters (iPhoto 11) folder from the open iPhoto Library package into the open iPhoto window a few at a time.
This will create a new library with the same Events (but not necessarily the same Event names) as the original library but will not keep the metadata, albums, books slideshows and other projects.
Note: your current library will be left untouched for further attempts at a fix if so desired.

How do i add picture icon in my local commerial for imovie hd

How do i add any picture icon during my video clip and its for producing my own commerial for the imovie hd?

welcome andew to the  boards ...
you want a 'station bug', a pic-in-pic effect, right?
actually not supported by iM, so you need a 3rd party plug-in to teach iM the new trick .. have a look at
www.imovieplugins.com
www.geethree.com
www.stupendous-software.com
or, in case, you own QTpro, you can add a grafic to a dv-stream with that ..

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 recover lost product license keys and not just Microsoft licenses?

Which products have you tried? Have you looked at Magic Jelly Bean? Depending on the OS and software, some keys are not retrievable. You should also know that certain software are not transferable from one PC to another, reference the license terms of each for clarification.

There are so many products out there that claim to recover lost software license keys and all of the ones I've tried either recover only MS license keys or no keys at all. I'm trying to recover keys from my fathers old system to install on his new one and some of the products he used do not have the keys available. Anyone out there with a viable product key recovery tool that will get back more than just MS license keys?
My father will be greatly pleased.
