I saw the deleted and emptied trashed photo files by accident!

When I was attaching photos as file attachments to my email(hotmail),I selected a dozen or so photos in i-Photo then try to press the "Choose" button at the bottom right of the screen. Because the "Choose" button and the Trash Can Icon in the dock are almost overlapping I must have hit the Trash Can Icon instead.
Then I saw the bunch of photos I deleted several months ago by "Empty Trash" command not the "Secure Empty Trash". When I saw the deleted photos I could not believe my eyes. Is this due to a bug in OS or Finder or??
Is there any way to delete them permanently now? Or do I have to wait until they are overwritten?

Try to drag them out of the trash to the desktop. Then see if they will play through Preview or Quicktime.

"Delete and Empty" not sending a CMDID_DELETE event

I'm writing a pretty simple C3PO to do some integration. If a user
opens an email and selects delete, I get the eGW_CMDID_DELETE event,
which is great. However if they select "delete and empty" I don't get
the event. I'm staring at the list of events in the C3PO docs and I
can't figure out what other event I might get.
Anyone know what event I should register for in order to handle the
"delete and empty" command?
Thanks,
James

Just to update my question with a bit more data... I decided to
register for every event listed in the C3PO documentation. Turns out
that "delete and empty" doesn't send me any events at all (I put a
breakpoint in CCommandFactory::WantCommand and it was never touched). I
would definitely appreciate any info anyone has on this. Specifically
some info on a fix or workaround.
Thanks,
James

I deleted the photos via Finder and empty trash long time ago. The thing is, that I want to recover one event or album. The event appears in the iphoto but when open, it shows "!". Is it possible to recover the photos?

No. When you removed the photos via the finder you damage the library. Photos should always be removed from the library using iPhoto, never with the Finder.
If you have a Time Machine backup of the library from before you deleted the photos you can restore the library to the Desktop and export that album from it to import into your current library.
It's been too long to be able to try one of the file recovery applications. You sure to have overwritten those files with new files since them.

It looks like the card may be the problem, and your best bet is to try the Card Reader - this will make the card accessible by the Finder and you may be able to drag the pics off to the desktop or, at worst, try recover the pics with an app like MediaRecover

HT201250 I deleted (trashed and emptied) an important file. I have Time Machine but have never set it up. Doomed? Right now I am trying "StellarPhoenix." Any advice would be very appreciated.

Using and emptying Trash...

I have a few questions about Trash that I can't find answers for (I hope this is the right place for this post).
I have many items in my Trash folder, and want to Securely Empty some, but not all of the files in Trash. Can I do this? Is there a way to either selectively delete the ones that I don't need to delete securely, or securely delete the ones that I want destroyed?
Is there a way to just delete files that have been in the trash for a certain amount of time, or can I only delete everything in there at once?
Finally, I put some Aperture files into Trash that I didn't mean to. How do I restore them to Aperture?
Thanks!

The only way to delete files is to empty Trash. Putting them in the Trash is not the same as deleting them. I recommend you put them in another folder and only put them in Trash when you really want to get rid of them (securely or not).
To put it bluntly, yes, you can only delete everything in the Trash at once.
And here's something to go with the title of your post, "Using and emptying Trash." The way I use it is I never keep things in it for more than a few minutes. Usually, it's seconds before I empty it. Most often, thought, it's less than a second.
As for your Aperture files question, I'm afraid there's no was of restoring them, other than reimporting them into Aperture. But you should ask on the Aperture forums.
Cheers.

I've emptied trash, removed files, discarded everything I don't use and my startup disc is still full. Half of it is 'other'. How do I find out what 'other' is and remove it?

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

You cannot.

In trying to edit a track - I want to "Delete and Move" the track to automatically fill the area that I deleted - However, after selecting a section to delete - the "Delete and Move" option is grayed out. How do I fix this?

Thank you for your attempt to help me. I appreciate that.
I think I figured out how to fix it-
I found that if I only delete a small amount at the beginning and at the end of the section that I want to remove - and then highlight that section - Then (and only then) does the "Delete and Move" function work to remove the unwanted section and automatically close the gap between the surrounding sections. I was trying to select a whole section and could only delete it - and then manually move it.
Problem solved.

I just want to launch the program and retouch a photo.[was:lost]

i just want to launch the program and retouch a photo. why am i so lost?

Exactly my point. With all the "training" and "introduction" and promotional
hoopla on the CC platform, I couldn't even find a way to LAUNCH photoshop.
I eventually simply downloaded Photoshop Elements. Problem solved.

Why is the "Delete" and "Junk" buttons repleased with the "Archive" button (Only for one of the accounts)?

Hello,
I must have changed a setting, so that the "Delete" and "Junk" buttons above the mail pane have disappeared, and an "Archive" button has appeared instead. This is true only for my mail through Gmail (IMAP), but when i open a mail from my other account (POP), i still see the "Delete" and "Junk" buttons.
How can I fix this?
Thanks in advance
Ayse

Try this:
Select an email that does not show all the correct buttons in the header information section above the actual message.
right click on the blank area just above 'Other Actions', you should get a popup saying 'Customise'.
click on 'Customise'
a new window opens.
you can drag items onto that header area, but I would suggest you click on 'Restore Default Set' button and then clickon 'Done' button.
