How to retrieve a deleted system account (photo's not on new account)

I recently purchased an imac and somehow i created two accounts. I asked my in-law (who has a mac) to help me delete the one I don't need. He deleted my main account which included precious photos, videos and e-mails. Is there anyway to retrieve them? This just happened yesterday. Mac doesn't seem to have the system restore like my other computer has.

Hi-
Welcome to Discussions!
Restoring a deleted user account
If the account can't be restored, using a data recovery software may be the ticket.
PhotoRescue
Data Rescue II
As long as you aren't adding a bunch of new files, thus over-writing old data, to the hard drive, the photos are there, somewhere.
You may need an external drive to recover files to.

  • How to retrieve my deleted icloud account

    I have Apple ID and I deleted my icloud account from my iphone, when am trying to add it again it doesn't recognised and as if it doesnt exist.

    Have you tried syncing with your own computer. The one you used to sync the photos to your iPad in the first place?
    Do you have a backup of your iPad on your own computer? Or in iCloud?
    If your iPad is stuck to the Apple ID and password used by the different laptop have the owner of that laptop remove your device from their iCloud account. They can go to iCloud.com on their laptop, enter their Apple ID and password and then remove your iPad from their account.
    Once you sign into your own Apple ID and password and then sign in to your iCloud account, many of your lost items should come back. Specifically these include your Contacts andCalendar entries.

    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!

  • HT1918 How do I permanently delete iTunes account

    Hello how are you all?
    I am a visitor from India , I recently bought and iPad and to download some music and movies I created an iTunes account .
    But I'm gifting this iPad to somebody and want to make sure that my iTunes account is deleted before giving it away.
    I signed in to manage my account billing and purchases but the system merely allows me to edit my credit card info not totally erase it.
    Also I don't want to just sign out and give it away, I need that no credit card info is in my iTunes account before giving it.
    I've tried the obvious ways to manage and edit the account but I don't see anything to delete
    Even restoring the iPad with the reset feature doesn't delete the account info , it just signs you out
    I don't know though if erasing data on the iPad would help
    Please do help
    Thanks

    Erase all content and settings.
    This is covered in the manual.

  • How to recreate a deleted user account w/ same email address

    Hi,
    I have a MacMini running Maverics 10.9.1 and Server 3.0.1. In the server, I also have the Open Directory running, but there are no Local Network Users configured at the moment.
    I deleted one of my Local Users from the server and would now like to recreate the account with the same email address as the old one had.
    When I try to do this, I get an error message from the Server>Users>New User scree saying "The email address [email protected] is already in use".
    Apparently the user deletion from the Server>Users screen did not compeltely delete the Local User from the server. How can I get the user including the old mailbox completely deleted?
    wbr,
    tatu

    Just one more piece of detail: the reason why I deleted this account was because every time someone sent it an email to address [email protected] it got delivered to [email protected]
    After the Local User account deletion now, apparently the [email protected] still works but all mail is piped to [email protected]
    So, how do I disable/fix this [email protected]>[email protected] pipe and then how do I remove the old [email protected] mail box out of the server completely?
    wbr,
    tatu

  • How to completely, totally delete iCloud account?

    Dear experts,
    I want to delete an iCloud account that is not relevant any longer.
    And I want to completely erase, nuke, wipe it out from the servers of Apple.
    Now, to my great surprise, it appears to be impossible: read this.
    Also I've seen this thread and this one.
    All these links tell that the account cannot be deleted: one can only "unlink" it from a certain device/computer.
    But the account itself, and all data (visible by users or hidden) remains with Apple forever.
    This simply cannot be true, given the today's standards of privacy, retention of user data and so on.
    So, can some kind soul point me to the instructions how to *totally* delete the account and all traces of it forever, using a PC or other, unrelated Apple device/Mac?
    I wanted to delete the account of previous iPad user, who does not need it any more. I have all the passwords.
    Then, I planned to create my own account.
    But, if creating Apple account is an one-way road, I won't use iCloud or appstore, and likely will get rid of the iPad as well...
    Looking forward for a solution...

    Anyone from Apple? Please?

  • How to permanently/manually delete User Account on MAC OS X 10.6.8

    Hi There,
    Can you please assist with providing instructions on how to manually delete USER accounts on MAC OS X 10.6.8.  Everyone but one user (who's account was deleted) can not log into the damain device.  As a test I tried to add a new user accout with the same name as before and even though nothing existing in the USERS folder; it states that a duplicate name exists.
    How do I delete that duplicate?  Where could that be located?
    Please let me know,
    Sonia

    Solution!
    Command to locate the hidden User Profile:
    dscl . list /users
    Command to delete the now found hidden User Profile:
    sudo dscl . delete /users/<userID>
    Thanks,

  • 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.

    Just sign out of it on all devices and forget about it.
    You can't completely delete the account from Apple's servers, but you can delete the data stored in it at iCloud.com.
