I accidentally deleted iMessage, how I do reinstall it? (Deleted from trash, too.)
I've recently started wanting to use the iMessage app on my mac, but I realized I deleted it months ago, thinking it wouldn't be of any use to me. Because this was months ago, and is no longer in my trash, I know I cannot retrieve it from there. Is there a way to reinstall the app?
Re-install the OS. An overwrite install will not touch your user data it will only write the OS files (and bring back Messages)
As in any case like this, while doing the re-install shouldn;t hurt your data, having a good backup is a very good idea before starting this.

Only by reinstalling OS X.
Boot into your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys whilst booting) and elect to resinatll OS X. It will take some time. None of you data, etc., will be erased (although it's always a good idea to have a backup).
Good luck,

Either redownload it from the Mac App Store or reinstall it from your iLife DVD or if it came pre-installed you can reinstall from the original discs that came with the computer.

How can I download the iTunes App if it was accidentally deleted from homepage.
The iTunes app (which comes with the iPad) was accidentally deleted from home screen, I can't connect to iTunes store..how can I recover/ download app again?
Not possible to delete any of the apps included with the OS/firmware.
Do you have Restrictions enabled at Settings > General > Restrictions?
If so, is iTunes turned on as a Restriction?
If yes, this will remove the app from being available to use but doesn't delete the app. -

I accidentally deleted the trash mailbox instead of deleting the messages. Rebuild is greyed out. Use Super Duper to back up User folder. Can I get this box tofunction again or how can I ever delete mail for this account?
I did delete all mail apps and library. Got Pacifist and began the process all over again. Then downloaded updates and it did recreate the mail mail boxes. No trash at all, but it would allow me to delete items. Finally explored and went to "mailbox" in the toolbar and went to "go to" and it had trash listed and I clicked on it and it put trash baskets for both of us!!!! Now I wonder if I could have gone ther to begin with? I guess not. The new version is 4.5 also. Not sure why the messages about not working with Snow L. Thanks for all the input.

HT204022 how do i recover videos/photos accidentally deleted from photostream
how do i recover videos/photos accidentally deleted from photostream
Videos aren't in photo stream. However, if you backed up your phone while these photos and videos were in your camera roll, you could recover them by restoring to the entire backup.

I have accidentally deleted the trash bin in my mailbox and can no longer move any deleted mail into the trash. I thought I was removing all the emails from the trash bin but somehow managed to delete the bin instead. Does anyone know who to reinstate the bin?
You are running 10.6.8? If yes, I assume you have your install disks? As the trash bin is part of Mail app and that is an integral part of the OS, the only way I know to get it back is to reinstall the OS. You won't lose any files, just reinstall the OS over the top of the current system.

An app called aralon sword and shadow was accidentally deleted from my iPod. Can I get it back with all the memory restored?, An app called aralon sword and shadow was accidentally deleted from my iPod. Can I get it back with all the memory restored?
I think you can only get app data back if you reinstall the app and then restore the iPod from backup. The app should contain the dat up to the time the backup was made.

How do i reinstall photoshop C6 from time machine
How do I reinstall photoshop C6 from time machine
Which version of mac os x does your new mac have?
Actually photoshop elements 6 should work on modern intel macs.
The only problem is that adobe doesn't have photoshop elements 6 installers available anymore, though there may be a chance to get the pse 6 installer if you bought pse 6 as a download from adobe
and login to your adobe account using the same user id and password as you did back then.
Otherwise hopefully you have the photoshop elements 6 install dvd.
Photoshop elements 13 is the current version that adobe has for sale
