How to retrieve deleted files?

I lost all of my musicfiles in the trashbin, because I thought they were stored in the Cloud.
Now, all files are still visible, but they will not start and have a exclamation mark on the beginning of each line.
What can I do? Can these files be retrieved?

If you still have the songs on your iPod, nothing is lost! DO NOT SYNC THE iPOD WITH iTUNES!
When you have no experience with iCloud, go the simple route:
Download Diskaid App and install on the iMac.
Stop iTunes on the iMac (really QUIT),
Connect the iPod with the USB cable, if iTunes starts immediately QUIT iTunes (this is to prevent syncing when you have set "sync auto when connecting in iTunes").
Start Diskaid and you will see all folders on the iPod: in the left navigation panel you will see the "music&videos" folder in which you can choose the Music folder: there are your songs. Select what you want and in the menu bar above choose "copy to computer"..
And then COPY them to the iTunes Music Folder, etc.
Remarks:
-there are several of these apps like Diskaid, some are free, but Diskaid gives you the real names of the songs and not scrambled ones.
-set iTunes to "not automatically sync" when the idevice is connected: sync manually.
-Make backups of everything on your computer regularly, the first one you have already now because you copied (not moved) the songs to the iTunes music folder.

How to retrieve deleted files in Trash Empty Securely?

I might have accidentally deleted a folder with many files in my Trash Bin > Empty Securely.
I haven't used my Time Machine or Backed Up on iCloud?
Is there any hope of retrieving the files?

FWIW. In the future always have current backups before you erase a drive or start deleting a lot of files. In fact you should always maintain backups, and more than one. This would have prevented your frustration.

Hmmm. Recycle bin emptied already? That is not a good sign.
There is some freeware software that might work, but there is no guarantee that it will.
Free undelete saved my bacon once in the past.

How to retrieve deleted files back

hello?

Try using an application such as Data Rescue or FileSalvage. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

WINDOWS?
Connect the iPod to your PC. If iTunes starts syncing (ie erasing) your music automatically, hit the X in the upper right hand corner of iTunes display, to the left of the search box, to stop it.
In Control Panel, Portable Media Devices, double-click your iPod.
In the Tools menu -> Options, in the View Tab, check "Show hidden files and folders."
Navigate to the Music folder. On my 'pod, the full path is
Portable Media Devices\NAME of IPOD (F:)\iPod_Control\Music
Select all the music folders, and drag and drop them into a folder on your hard drive, or directly into iTunes.
And you're done! The iPod music folder structure is strange and inexplicable, but once you move your files into iTunes you can set it to automatically organize your folder by artist and album to clean that up. (To do this, in iTunes Edit menu, choose Preferences and in the Advanced tab, check "Keep iTunes Music Folder organized."
might be out of date worth a try

How do i delete files from adobe reader?

How do I delete files that I do not want to view again from adobe reader?

You want to delete the actual PDF files, or just the entries in the Recent Documents list?
If it's the files, delete them from where they are stored on your local disk.
If it's the Recent Documents list, that depends on your operating system.

How do i delete files on the startup dics to make room to download itunes and such on my macbook pro

Move items you don't need on it, such as the iTunes and iPhoto libraries, to another drive, verify they work in the new location, and then delete them from the internal drive. If you don't need something at all, drag it to the Trash and empty it.

How do I delete files permanently from a usb flash key? On my mac (Yosemite 10.10) it's telling me the files are deleted, however on plugging key into television they're still there

I've a problem I've never come across before and it's how to permanently delete files on a usb flash key? I've just migrated from using Windows for 15 years onto Apple iMac and had been deleting files easily and permanently from the key on Windows without any hassle and thought I'd done the same on my iMac but seemingly they're still there as the tele is showing them when key is plugged in, BUT they can not be seen on iMac. I wondered why the key wouldn't take anymore files after, what I thought was, deletion and now I know why-imac hasn't deleted them!
I've actually gone into Disk Utility and formatted the key in it's usual FAT32 format to finally delete the files. Anyone any ideas as to why this happens and how to solve this please?
Many thanks

In addition to what Drew wrote, remember the Mac has a data fork and a resource fork.
Here is an old thread but a nice recap by Dr. Smoke
._Files
Note that the ._file files you note are the resource forks of Mac files you copied to the drive from your Mac, and these are only visible when you use the Flash drive on a PC. These are normal and indicate the Flash drive is already formatted for Windows.
When you copy or save a file from a Mac OS X system to a Windows shared volume or a Windows-formatted disk, the Mac creates two files: the data fork (xxx) and the resource fork (._xxx). This is called Apple Double Format and is normal. The resource fork contains additional data about the file that is exclusive to the Mac that cannot be saved otherwise on Windows-formatted disks. This is new with Mac OS X, as documented in Mac OS X: Apple Double Format Creates File Name With the Prefix '._'.
The resource fork files (._xxx) are necessary if you want to copy the file back to the Mac and retain the metadata. The resource forks of files are invisible when they are used on the Mac: the Mac OS Extended file system (aka HFS Plus or HFS+) uses forked files, with a file having both data and resource forks.
You can delete the resource forks on the Windows disk if and only if you don't care about losing the resource fork information should you copy them back to the Mac, such as comments, image preview icon, etc. Some Mac applications use the resource fork data, so deleting the resource fork can be problematic if you copy the file back to the Mac. Likewise moving the file while not also moving its associated resource fork when using the data on a PC can result in problems when using some files again on the Mac.
You can't prevent the resource forks from being created if you copy or save files from the Mac to the Windows share or Windows-formatted disk via Finder.

Hi Amit,
you can not move specific changes from Dev to production.
but you can follow this process to make your workflow as it is as in Dev:
Create a new workflow on the new list in Product.
Create at least one step, one condition and one action in this workflow.
1. In Dev server open your .xomal file as XML and copy the entire contents.
2.In Production server Open your .xoml file as XML and Paste the entire contents
3. repeat this operation for the xoml.rules file
4.Double click the .xoml file for the new workflow to open the workflow in the Workflow Designer and click Check Workflow to verify no errors and then click Finish to ensure the workflow is saved.
Whenever you need to make changes apply the same.
Please Mark Answer and Vote me if it will to resolve your issue

Upon start up I get a start up disk full message and to delete files, now I only get a a blue screen on start up. How to I get past the blue screen and how do I delete files?

Upon start up I get a "start up disk full message, delete files". Now on startup I only get a blue screen. How do I get past the blue screen and how do I delete files.

That;s really not enough free space... you can use a tools such as OmniDiskSweeper to find out where your large files reside and begin pruning (or copying to an external if they're files that you want to keep).
One thing is certain - if you're going to continue your current usage you're certainly going to need to install a larger boot drive.

If you have a Mac that is signed into your account and you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can recover the deleted document using Time Machine. Otherwise, without a backup souce there is no way to recover it.
