Is there a way to recover a file that was sent to trash

I moved some files and then sent some files to trash, appently i sent to trash valuable to files. I went into time machine, and apparently my files have grown too large for my 3 terabit back up drive, and when i went in there was only one back up. it is dated at a period after i sent a file to trash but before i cleaned out the trash.
I have been told that time machine does not back up trash so that is a dead end.
My next thought was to consider looking at the file from where i the trashed files lived before i sent them to Trash. In my PC prior life there was an undelete function, i have been told by Apple support there is no similar function.
Any ideas how i can recover 2,000 photos that i have been working on?

If the files are in the Trash the locate them in Trash and right click them and select Put Back. If you haven't been backing up and you really did lose them then you are able to learn why backing up is vital. Time Machine does not backup the Trash however you can easily use Time Machine to navigate to where the files where prior to being trashed and restore them. If you have Time Machine do that.
BTW you may also benefit from using redundant backup. Many of us on these forums will use a redundant system. For example I use both Time Machine and on another external HD I create a bootable clone using SuperDuper. This is valuable because backups can fail too and Time Machine isn't bootable. Here are some additional strategies from a Mac World article Backup Plan I.

Is there a way to recover your files that are gone if you purchased them?

lost all music from iphone and computer, is there a way to recover it? I went to purchase something and itunes store still acknowledges that I purchased it, is there a way to re-download it?

You buy one and only one download, just as you buy one copy of a cd from a store. It is your responsibility to backup/move/copy your music.
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer. Use this to put everything back.

Is there any way to recover a file that has somehow become not a valid Photoshop Touch project?

I have been working on a piece of art for the last month and all of a sudden when I went to open it this evening the app was unable to open the file. Please Help!

Not good as that usually means the project itself was corrupt.
Any chance you sync'd to Creative Cloud? That's the only way I know of that backs up your PS Touch (PSDX) files.

Is there a way to recover your files from a computer that won't work anymore?

if my computer stops working, is there a way to recover the files?

I've been in the same situation once.
Here's what I did:
Went to Staples and bought an external hard drive enclosure.
Took the hard drive out of the dead computer then installed it in the enclosure.
From there I hooked it up to a working computer via usb port then copied the files that I needed from it.
Assuming that your hard drive is not dead/toasted, then you can recover the data you need through this procedure.
Hope that helps.

Once the trash is emptied only professional $$$ Applications will perform this feat and only if the filespace hasn't been overwritten yet.

Is there a way to recover my files after resetting my computer?

I had forgotten my password, so I did the reset with the original software CD, and I did not realize it would wipe away all my files. I am wondering if anyone knows of a way to recover my files that were on my hard drive?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Did you erase the hard drive? If not, your data should still be in your hard drive.
If you erased the hard drive, it's difficult to recover your files. An application like DiskWarrior may do the trick but it sometimes doesn't work. The best option is to take the hard drive to a company that recovers files, so there are more possibilities of getting the files recovered.
Also, make backups of your files. It's important to make them in order to prevent these cases

Extremely unlikely, as they will have been over-written several times.
Possibly a professional data rescue firm can try, but that will cost you a four-figure sum.

if you use time machine, you should be able to get it back that way. Although IBA saves changes on an ongoing basis, it doesn't create a back up or supplemental copy elsewhere on your drive.

Is there any way to recover a .tif I was just working with?

The Facts
System: PC
Program: Photoshop CS5
Version: 12.0.4
The Situation
I am working with a .tif file (1000 cm x 1000 cm at 72 dpi). I have been copying and pasting images from other .tif files into it in order to see all images at once, so I can then move them around and try to fit certain images together. I have been saving it as a .tif with no compression over the last few days. The file is now 2.61 GB with 119 images.
The Problem
Before going to lunch, I saved it as I always do and left. When I returned, Photoshop told me it could not open because it did not recognize the file type.
My Questions
1. Is there any way to recover my file?
2. It is imperative that the files I am adding to this .tif remain their actual size. That said, what is the best image compression option that I should use?
The File
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

I do not know if your file can be recovered. But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease. If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio. However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process. Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support Link http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.jsx

Depends on the version of iPhoto - some details would help us help you
If you have iPhoto '11 then the photos go from the iPhoto trash to the system trash and you can recover them there and import backinto iPhoto
Otherwise you you are looking at data recovery software like file salvage http://subrosasoft.com/software/filesalvage or a data recovery service

Assuming the scans are all PDFs, here is one easy way:
Open the first PDF in Preview.
Duplicate (File > Duplicate) if you want to preserve the original.
Choose View > Contact Sheet.
Drag and drop the other files from the Finder into the Contact Sheet window. You can select the files one at a time or multiple files at once.
Arrange the contact sheet icons in the desired order.
Save.
