I Accidentally Deleted A Folder

The folder where i mainly listen to got deleted how do i bring it back???

Tip: Never make big playlists either! I had one with a very specific chronology to it, and of interest only to myself. About 400 tracks. It got scrambled during sync issues last week. Result: made several smaller playlists by dividing them up even further; easier to redo if they get messed up again...and arguably an improvement anyway.
If you lose a playlist, you don't lose the tracks themselves.

I accidentally deleted a folder of music from iTunes. I have Match, and now it seems deleted from all my devices. How can I get it back?

I accidentally deleted a folder of music from iTunes. I have Match, and now it seems deleted from all my devices. How can I get it back?

Were you in iTunes or the Finder? If you were in iTunes what exactly did you click? You say "a folder" but the only "folders" in iTunes contain Playlists and deleting a playlist will not delete tracks from the iTunes library.
When you deleted the music were you prompted to delete the tracks from the cloud? If so, did you do so?
Were you prompted to move the files to the Trash. If so did you do so? If you did have you emptied the Trash?

Accidentally deleted trash folder

Hello,
I have searched everywhere trying to find a solution. I had one folder on my desktop that had several subfolders inside of it. I was deleting some desktop items and accidentally deleted this folder as well and then I emptied the trash folder. I unfortunately never set time machine up on my iMac. I also purchased a program to try to restore my files with no success.
Does anybody have any suggestions? I thought about trying to restore it to a prior time, but everywhere I am reading says that you need to have backed everything up with Time Machine.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you deleted it then it's gone. Only thing would be if you had a backup then you could recover

How can I recover accidentally deleted Mail folder?

With no backup, you can't. The data is gone.

Accidentally deleted /var folder, now recovery utilities not responding to trackpad/keyboard!

So I did something completed stupid, and now have a big problem.
I accidentally deleted /var folder and emptied the trash!!
Now my MBP is stuck at the grey start up screen with the apple & spinng wheel and won't start up..
The weird thing is, now when I enter recovery utilities, everything displays fine except I cannot click anything! The mouse pointer moves but won't respond to clicks! Same with the return on keyboard. Arrow keys work to move among 4 options on os x utilities (time machine/ reinstall/ online help/ disk utility) but when I hit enter, no response! The trackpad & return key works fine up until the point where the mbp asks which language to run the recovery utilities.
All my data is backed up online, and now I just want to reinstall os x and start using my mbp again!
I tried reinstall with an installation disc by holding down 'c' on start, then I hear the installation dvd spinning for 3 seconds, then it would start ticking and won't do anything else for a few minutes until I force shutdown.
Please!!! Can anyone help me?? How can I reinstall os x?? I would really appreciate!!
Thank you Thank you Thank you in advance.

I know it's late but maybe it will help other people.
I ran into the same issue and none of the solutions listed by apple helped.
I booted into single-user mode and I read the log in /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/private/var/log/system.log, it was full of errors like theses
Dec 30 18:03:28 MacBook-Air locationd[352]: libcoreservices: _dirhelper: 454: mkdir: path=/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000sm00006d/C/ modes[2]=0700: No such file or directory

The system actually tried to create directories in /var/folders but the directory /var/folders did not exists, so I created it:
Under single-user mode:
mount -o update /
cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/
mkdir var/folders
mkdir var/folders/zz
reboot
And it booted just fine !

Accidentally deleted History folder in Safari on IPad 4.

I must have accidentally deleted the History folder from the Bookmarks/Favorites bar in Safari (iPad 4) and I currently have no way of viewing my web browsing history on the actual iPad. Private browsing most definitely is not the problem, as is the suggestion I keep seeing for this type of question.
Is there anyway I can get my history folder set back up? Here is what I am working with:

Accidentally deleted Utilites Folder

Hi,
I have accidentally deleted my Utilities folder in 'Applications' thinking it was a folder for Adobe CC which I wanted uninstalled. Trash Can has been emptied, also, and to pay for my sins I never had Time Machine turned on, never thought I'd need it. Oops.
I have a late 2012 (i think) iMac 27". It does not have a disk drive so no good using Disc to reinstall anything. Is there anything I can do? To be honest I didn't even realise anything was wrong until I tried clicking on 'About This Mac' and got nothing.
Please help.
Thanks,
Phil

Restore it from your Time Machine backup or boot into the Recovery Partition (Command + R) on startup and reinstall OS X. This re-install will not overwrite your data files, however you should ALWAYS have a backup in place before doing so.

Help Please - Accidentally Deleted Private Folder

Please could someone help.
I have accidentally deleted the Private folder in the root of the HD
Now OSX will not boot.
The folder is sitting in my Trash folder and I would like from the Boot CD Terminal to copy back from the trash to the Macintosh HD/ location
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Mim

Not quite: If MimUK's account shortname is (for example): mimuk
then it would be within that account's Trash, namely, you'll have to (yes) boot from another volume (not sure this will work booted from CD, but it might), *mount the drive in read+write mode*
ie (possibly requiring sudo, depending on circumstances):
sudo mount -uw /Volumes/nameOfTheDriveInQuestion
sudo mv /Users/mimuk/.Trash/private /Volumes/nameOfTheDriveInQuestion/
Moral of this story: don't make hidden folders visible for reasons just such as this
And in any case, don't delete something unless you know full well what it's for.

Accidentally Deleted App Folder

I moved many of my most-used business apps to the Tools folder, then, while trying to move it I accidentally deleted it. Where did all the apps go and how do I get them back, or can I restore the old folder? The online message says the apps are moved to the bottom of the home screen but my home screen doesn't have any apps, only folders. Help appreciated.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

1. On your homescreen, press the Menu key > SHOW ALL, so that SHOW ALL is checked.
2. Look in EACH folder on your device... Applications, Instant Messengers, Downloads, etc.
If you still don't see it, look at Options > Advanced > Applications. Do you see it listed there?

Another Zen V+, accidentally deleted wallpaper folder, help on restoratio

I accidentally deleted the pre-made wall papers folder with all of the samples in it when clearing out all of the sample files. I want to use one of my own pictures for the wall paper, but when I made my own "Wall Papers" folder, and put the picture in, the Zen V+ under Pictures>Wall Paper it says there are no acti've Wall Papers. Is there a way to reformat the firmware completely? I tried updating it and that did nothing at all.
Thanks Alex

No, they haven't. Go to http://www.epizenter.net/e07_plugins...php?47589.post. They're all there, at least when I go there in my browser. EDIT: Ouch I see what you mean. But If you search Preloaded Wallpapers, they do show up. Anyway, I'll put them here. Sorry if I'm doing anything wrong guys, haven't seen many photos in the forums.

I accidentally deleted a folder from my dock.

I had created a folder containing various things and had it in my dock. It mainly contained stuff from my old mac. I wanted to drag it to my desktop, for what I cant even remember. But to my horror, it vanished. None of the files that I know were in the folder can be found when searching spotlight. Of course my time machine backup is sent off for a warranty repair and I havent gotten it setup. It blows my mind that it would just delete the entire folder without verifying your action and then not even stick it in the trash can. Its just gone. Please help!! Thanks

Normally the dock is used for shortcuts. For example, you drag a frequently used application to it from the Applications folder. It's still in the Applications folder, but there's also a shortcut to it on the dock. When you want to get rid of one, you just drag it off the dock, which is what you did when you tried to move it to the desktop.
Anyway... you can try this:

Accidentally Deleted Pictures folder

Hi I accidentally deleted the pictures folder and it is no longer on the hard drive. I lost all my files and was able to recover them however the Pictures folder is gone forever. How can I make a new Pictures folder with the same icon and etc.

If there is a folder in your home folder named Pictures the Finder will automatically supply the custom icon to it and, if you drag it to the Sidebar the Finder will assign it the custom Sidebar icon as well. Just create a folder and name it Pictures--you may have to restart for Finder to wake up and take notice that the folder is there.

Accidentally deleted itunes folder.

in my zeal to create more space on my laptop i deleted my itunes folder thinking I had everything backed up. Then I remembered that 2 nights ago i bought 2 albums from itunes.
does anyone know of a good recovery program that would help me get them back? I've tried Norton UnErase 8.0 but no luck. Are there any others out there?
thanks in advance

I know you can get your old puchased music back.At the top of the window you can click you can click store then check for purchases. If for some reason that doesn't work if you synced your iPod before you lost your music it you are ok. When you plug in your ipod it will say some purchased music is on your ipod but not on your computer and click tranfer. but all the other songs you will have to convert them back into your computer.When you get all your music back you probably need to back it up by clicking file back up to disc.
Let me know if it works

I just accidentally deleted my folder that imported all my old outlook folders help

I accidentally deleted a folder in the trash and need it back

I had a problem where my local folders were located under Trash and have been trying to fix it. I deleted the local folder while in trash and can't get it back and it had a lot of info in it

Ask the app developer. That's not an Apple product. I suspect that if it wasn't backed up, it's gone.
