How to retrieve a deleted file

I accidentally deleted a file (.docx) that I had saved on my desktop, and then emptied my trash.  Is it possible to get it back???

Yes as long as you didn't use secure erase or have Filevualt enabled, but you have to do this right away as the area it's taking up has been allocated for overwriting. Works only for hard drives and it will cost about $200 or so for the drive and software.
Create a data recovery, undelete boot drive
Better to have backups of your data in case something like this occurs or your entire computer dies.
Most commonly used backup methods
There is "undelete" type software if you install it will allow the termporary recovery of deleted files in case of accidents, search MacUpdate.com for it, however it has to be installed before the accidentail deletion occurs. It's worthless after the fact.

    first you right click on the ipad (on the left in itunes): restore from backup.
    It will restore to factory ALL data anda apps
    At some point it will offer restoration from itunes, but you will only see backups made on your computer.
    If you wish to restore from icloud you forget itunes on your computer, go to the ipad and follow the instructions. At some point you will be asked to choose from icolud or confgiure it as a new ipad.
    it works

    I have an iPhone 3G.  I need to know how to retrieve accidentally deleted text messages.  Is that possible?  Please say yes!  Thanks

    Myself and my girlfriend use the decipher textmessage program. She's on windows and I use the version for my macbook pro. It works cool and lets you save your text messages from your iphone to your computer. I've actually recovered a few deleted messages with it too which was helpful since I'm a laywer and needed them for work. Their site is:

    Good luck! Hope you and your family are able to recover your sms messages!

  • HT4873 How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

    How i can recover deleted files from icloud,,I had a backup copy on iCloud for whatsapp application and I lost it,,I need bring it back what I have to do

    You can't download pictures from iCloud by logging into icloud.com.  If you deleted pictures from camera roll AND photo stream, the only possibility is preforming a restore from an iCloud backup, assuming the backup has the pictures in it.  (Many users have been unable to restore and get back their pictures.)
    If the restore doesn't have all the pictures, then they are gone.
    In the future, use photo stream to sync photos from an iPhone to a computer, then copy the photos on the computer from the photo stream album into a permanent album.  Photo stream pics stay there only for 30 days, and only up to 1000 photos are stored.  Don't use photo stream as a storage medium, it's only for copying photos from one device to another.  Always copy (either via USB cable or photo stream) to a computer and then move to an album.

  • How to retrieve a deleted application

    I was just curious in know is there any way you can retrieve a deleted application. I noticed there is recycle bin but I think that is just for database objects

    Use the command-line export utility on the APEX Studio. This uses a Java class HTMLDBExport.class that is included in the utilities folder in the software distribution. There is probably a README file that has instructions on how to use it.
    This way you can set up a scheduled job using the appropriate tools depending on your operating environment (cron, Scheduled Tasks, etc) and have a periodic export of your entire workspace.

  • How to retrieve a text file

    I am doing an assignment where I am running two "identical" servers on different computers (same network), so that reliability is increased. I have to take into consideration if one were to go down, how do we update the lost information. Right now I have my program saving critical data to a text file, and I am trying to find a way to retrieve that text file. I am writing in java 1.5. thanks in advance.
    Fred

    how do I implement a database? My main problem here is that if say one server is down and one is up, and a user updates information on the server, when the first one comes back up, it must also be updated. the system consists of
    client-->frontendserver (via java sockets)
    then frontendserver-->two servers (via Java RMI)
    I can assume the frontendserver will not crash, but I am not allowed to store data on it. Thanks for the help so far

  • Is there a way to retrieve a deleted file in adobe bridge?

    Hey-
    So, for my photography class we upload pictures to a server and then edit them in bridge. I was going through and saving the ones I wanted to keep to my hard drive but I think I accidentally deleted a folder of photos I didn't mean to. The "undo" button couldn't be used and Google suggested a "version cue" retrieval but that's non-existent with mine.
    Does anyone know if adobe bridge has a recycle bin somewhere I can pull the file out of?

    The deleted files go into the recycle bin of Windows.  Check there before emptying.

  • Can i retrieve a deleted file when my Trash is already empty????

    hey guys,
    i need your help!!! Can i still retrieve an important file, that i accidentally deleted, when my Trash is already empty??? please please help!!! is there any way that i could retrieve the file???

    Hi leecastasus;
    First thing is to stop using the Mac. The more you use the Mac the greater your chances of overwriting the deleted file.
    Get a demo copy of Data Rescue II. The demo will tell you if it can recover the file for you. If it can then you must pay for it to do that actual recovery to another disk.

  • How do I permanently delete files  from Nano?

    I manually deleted songs and videos from my Nano because I didn't want them anymore. I even deleted those same files from iTunes when my Nano wasn't connected. But now, whenever I sync my Nano with iTunes, those files end up right back on my iPod. How can I stop those deleted files from being put back into my iPod?

    I deleted from the playlist
    If you delete them from a playlist it only deletes then from that specific playlist.
    Note that Library -> Music is not a playlist. It is the library.
    To remove items from iTunes, delete them from the library or *Shift Delete* from a playlist to remove it from that playlist and the library.
    It will then also ask to delete from the hard drive (which is not the library), if it is in the iTunes media folder shown in iTunes prefs -> Advanced.
