I need a program to recover a deleted file.

Today I recently deleted a folder containing a month's work of school papers, thinking it was a shortcut to the folder. I was dumb enough to empty the trash can as well... Does anyone know of a program that I could use to recover my folder? I haven't found any that works with Mac.
Thanks in advance.

Hi p90m16;
Don't count your chicks before they are hatched!
It all depends on how much disk activity you had after you realized that you had deleted the files as to how much can be recovered.
Thbis is the reason why we are always recommending backup of critical files. It is so much easier and reliable to recover from a backup.
Good luck.

    Is there any software for macbook to recover a deleted file?

    Hope & prayer?
    Whatever it is you end up using, it is IMPERATIVE you stop using the Mac until the rescue is completed.The more the drive gets modified, the greater the chance that the storage area the deleted file used to occupy will get written over, thereby making rescue impossible.

  • Disk utility to prevent the recover of deleted files / empty trash securely

    I just used the disk utility to prevent the recover of deleted files...
    It created a recovery folder which I tried to empty trash securely...i the got a message saying there are some locked items and I responded to remove all items...
    It would not let me do that the file stayed in the trash until I changed the setting and just emptied the trash the conventional way..
    Can anyone tell me why that is happening???

    Disk Drill, and all other file recovery apps for the Mac will recover every deleted file it can find on the drive. However, it should not have been at all possible to recover the ones you deleted with Secure Empty Trash. All files currently in the trash have every bit of their data overwritten 7 times with random data.
    Were these part of what was recovered? Or just other normally deleted items?

    You might try to see if you can restore your iWork documents from an earlier point in time by using Time Machine.  To do this, Open Finder and navigate to “~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Pages/Documents” (without the quotes) from the Go>Go to Folder menu.  Then launch Time Machine, go back in time until you see your pages documents, then select them, click Restore and exit Time Machine.  Then repeat this from "~/Library/Mobile Documents/com~apple~Numbers/Documents" to restore your Number documents.

  • How do you recover a deleted file in Notes?

    How do you recover a deleted note in Notes?

    You can recover to an iCloud or iTunes backup that contains the note. With no backup you are out of luck.

  • Cant start imac.  need a back door way to delete files

    My imac locked up and now I can't get it to start up.  I believe the problem is a lack of free disc space on the hard drive but I don't know how to delete files?  Does anyone know a back door way to get in and delete files (empty trash)?

    Boot from the Install Disc that came with the computer and then move data off to an external HD. If you are a typical user what is probably occupying a lot of your HD space is media such as iTunes library, iPhoto library and maybe iMovie library. I'd recommend moving those to an External HD. You can then easily access them after you are able to start normally on by following the directions in:
    iMovie: How to move the Library to an EHD
    iPhoto: How to move the Library to an EHD
    iTunes: How to move the library to an EHD
    Another possible solution is if you have a second Mac then boot the problem Mac in Target Disk Mode.

  • Best utility for recovering accidentally deleted files?

    Hello,
    I accidentally deleted some files that I would like to get back.  I deleted them from Trash but I did not use the "secure delete" method.  I am using OSX 10.9.2.  I browsed Apple's app store and found a handfull of recovery utilities, but none that were not called "junk" by at least one reviewer.  Can someone recommend a file recovery utility that has worked well for them?
    Thanks.

    And, you should stop using the computer as the space occupied by those deleted files will be written over with whatever you are doing now and makes the files less recoverable. (Your hard drive is like a re-writeable CD/DVD - a bunch of songs or data; you delete one but replace it with a different one, so the space is being used again).

    Press Command and R keys on boot, open Disk Utility and verify the drive. If it's damaged, repair. If it works properly, reinstall OS X Mountain Lion or restore your backup

  • Recovering accidentally deleted files

    I accidentally emptied the trash while i was trying to put files back and now i cannot get my files back

    If there is any chance of recovery at all your best bet is Prosoft Data Rescue. There is a free trial to see if it can recover what you need. Don't do any more operations on that Mac until you download and run it.
    Also, a service that has been recommended but I cannot personally endorse is DriveSavers.
    Look here for advice on deleting the folder.

  • Recover a delete file on PAGES

    I, can anyone help me?
    Infortunly i erase a file in of pages in my cloud of oages. Can i restore thath file again. Harh shoul i do to recover it.
    Thank´s
    Pedro

    Since you're using Lion & Pages 4.2 autosave will have saved the files if you have saved them at least once. There is a folder of "unsaved documents" in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences but I have no idea how it works. The one time I tried opening one of the files I got an error, but you might have a different result. In Lion you need to go to Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.

  • Recover Accidentally Deleted Files in OS X via Terminal, "command not found"

    Hi!
    I am trying to recover a folder from the trash. It was deleted 30 min ago. The command I am trying to use is;
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ com.apple.Finder AppleShowAllFiles true
    And the response is;
    -bash: com.apple.Finder: command not found
    When I open any Terminal window I get this message, I don't know if this is relevant;
    Last login: Wed Nov 13 08:27:40 on ttys001
    I have found some similar replies on the forum but they do not seem to work in my case. I'm new to Terminal so I would really appreciate the help to find the cause and to resolve my problem.
    Thanks a lot!

    Thank you so much. This is the reply that I got;
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ ls -a .Trash
    .                                        Cherry Blossoms
    ..                                        FLiCKS
    .DS_Store                              Nicholas Nickleby (1977)

    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$
    Mys-MacBook-Pro:~ storedisk$ mv .Trash/FLiCKS
    usage: mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source target
           mv [-f | -i | -n] [-v] source ... directory
    It is the FLiCKS folder that I am trying to retreive. Does this mean that I can retreive it? And if so, when I use the command mv .Trash/filename, where should it appear? Sorry for not fully understanding the instructions.
    I also tend to empty the trash cumpulsively, which is how this happened in the first place. Trying to empty the files already in the trash but accidentally having had this folder selected I emptied that and kept the files that I didn't want.
    The trash folder still has the size as if the folder FLiCKS is still in there though, if that makes any difference?
    Thank you for all of your help.

  • I have deleted my iTunes files and when attempting to Time Machine it is stopping at a damaged file and not letting me continue Error 36 can I force a copy or even better recover my deleted files

    I have deleted my iTunes files by mistake and when attempting to recover in time machine I am getting an error message 36 when it finds an incomplete file an I use another method.

    I had this exact issue.  Spent over an hour on the phone with apple support, they couldn't resolve.  Here is what I ended up doing, that worked.
    1.  Turned iTunes match off on all my iOS devices
    2.  Deleted the offending playlists from the iOS device they originated on
    3.  Started iTunes, let it run (literally) for an hour before it became responsive.  First thing I did, before clicking anywere else was disable iTunes match.  If I clicked anywhere, it would clock for another hour.
    4.  Let iTunes run overnight, by morning it had cleaned out the repeating play lists.  This got my Mac/iTunes back to an operable state.
    5.  Restore iPhones from backup in iTunes.
    What was causing my issue was a single playlist that was created on an iPhone, then suddenly showed up with several thousand duplicates on my other iPhone.  The culprit playlist did not, for some reason, duplicate itself on my two iPads.  Apple support seemed to think it was because the problem iPhone tried to sync the playlist to iCloud over and over again unsuccessfully, then it finally went through and populated the thousands of blank/failed playlists which then tried to propigate to iTunes and my other iOS devices.  Seems like a reasonable theory.
    I have not yet re-enabled iTunes match.  So, no idea what will happen if I decide to go back down that rabbit hole.
