Is there a way to recover data from accidental "empty trash"?

I accidentally deleted 111GB of data, my entire Movies folder, off my Macbook running 10.4.11 and imovie 6.03 and emptied the trash. I have been to the Apple Store but they basically sold me Data Rescue II which does not return a completed iMovie but rather a fragmented collection of quicktime bits of the movie. It's easier for me to re-do every movie I've ever made than try to piece together a bunch of QT clips. Norton's used to recover files fairly intact but I understand it can't be used on Intel Macs. My first question is why not? Has anyone tried using Norton's V5.0 on an intel and if so what happened? My second ? is does anyone know of a reliable method (other than the $500-$3k services out there) to undelete files. My research suggests once files are gone, they're gone but I'm still holding out in an attempt to resurrect at least the last month of work. Thank you.

Not only not on Intel Macs but on pretty much any Mac running OSX. People had pretty bad experiences running Norton in the early days of OSX and Norton gave up supporting Macs. Any version of Norton out there pre-dates Intel Macs and you never want to run any disk tool on a computer when that tool pre-dates the release of OS you are using.
There's also [FileSalvage|http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?mainpage=product_info&productsid=1] but I don't know if it will do anything different from DRII.

Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition?

Is there any way to recover data from a cleared soft partition? <eom>

You could try using 'metarecover'. I don't know if that works after a metaclear, but it's the only think that I could think to try.
I think you could brute-force search for UFS filesystems within the underlying storage, but that's pretty tedious.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone.

My iphone 4 is dead with water damage. Is there a way to recover data from the dead phone. Could any one help where exectly the memory chip (not RAM) resides in the phone. Is it on the motherboard or a seperate component in the phone?

The iPhone's internal components are soldered together. There is no way to recover data from your phone if it refuses to power up.

Is there any way to recover data from bad ipod hard drive?

My 60GB iPod photo shows a sad iPod icon, will not connect to iTunes and will not charge. I have recently replaced the battery and it was working for a day, but now I keep getting the sad iPod icon. If I take the hard drive out and connect it with a USB2.0 mini enclosure to my computer, can I recover the data on it?

Depends... See Corrupt iPod classic.

HT4910 i accidently deleted a note from my iphone 5 is there any way to recover it from an icloud backup?

I accidently deleted a note from my iphone 5 is there any way to recover it from icloud?

You have to start by erasing the phone so if there's any newer data on it that is not contained in your last backup, you'll need to save that first. Then go to Settings>General>Reset, tap Erase All Content and Settings, go through the setup screens on the phone and when given the option, choose Restore from iCloud Backup. Then sign into your iCloud account and choose your backup to restore from.
Be sure you phone is connected to wifi and your charger as this may take a while to finish.

Hi,
According to your description, you want to export excel which contains a hyperlink column to SharePoint list.
Refer to the following steps:
Open the Excel, insert/create the table.
Now click on any cell of table and go to the ‘Design Tools’.
Click on the Export and then ‘Export table to SharePoint List’.
You will see a popup where you need to provide the URL of SharePoint site, list name and description.
Then click on next, On the next screen you will see columns with data types which are going to create in SharePoint list.
Now click finish and wait until the operation gets finished. You will see that list gets created in SharePoint site with the records.
Here are two links, you can use as a reference:

Is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

All the data can be extracted by creating a property node and read the Item Names property...then you get a 2D array of all the rows and columns. Wire that array into an index array function and input the row you want (e.g. the listbox value, if you want the row currently selected...)...that's it. See attached example.

I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad that I download for them. Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades? My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it. Can I block this access?

I allow my grandchildren to play free games on my ipad and iphone that I download for them. Is there a way to prevent them from accidentally (or otherwise) purchasing upgrades? My 6 yr old just did so and has no idea how she did it. Is there a setting that would prevent this from happening?

Yes. You can set restrictions.
This is covered in the manual.

Is there a way to recover data in the event of a crash during backup?

I've been busy with schoolwork so I just got around to updating my iOS from 6.1.3 to 7.1.1. As all of you probably know, it was a much needed update since some apps stop working on older iOS versions. I first updated iTunes which was also out-dated. After restarting my PC I then connected my iPad and clicked the update button. As iTunes began to backup my iPad, it encountered and error (it didn't specify) and apparently lost communication with the iPad. The iPad was frozen. I am assuming it was waiting for iTunes. I tried re-inserting the USB but the device no longer registered with my computer. The only thing I was able to do was turn off the iPad but that put it into recovery mode. iTunes was then able to communicate with the iPad but insisted that it must be restored to factory settings. Since it was reset to factory settings, iTunes then asked if I wanted to set it up as a new iPad or restore from a backup. The problem is that for the same reason it has taken me so long to update iOS, I have also not created backup for the past 14 months. Is there a way to recover the data that was on the iPad or has the last 14 months been lost in manner of minutes?

If iTunes does not recognize the iPod
put it into recovery mode

Then restore

I had to reinstall windows on my laptop because it wouldn't start. Then I lost all the bookmarks saved on the browser Firefox. Is there a way to recover them from my IP address or any another way? Thanks

My laptop refused to start, then i had to reinstall windows.
I choose Windows 7 instead of Windows Vista.
After reinstalling Firefox, i saw that i lost all the (so vital) bookmarks !
Is there a way to recover them ?
Thank you.

I had the same problem...well... I'm still not over it yet .. :))
I'm afraid there is no way to recover your data from a formatted drive..
A lifetime of bookmarks, gone
P.S. Be strong =)))
Stay cool

Is there a way to recover Thunderbird from a dead Harddrive?

My Hard Drive died as the result of a liquid spill and (as the result) it will not reboot.
Is there a way to recover any of the messages & address book from this dead hard drive?
Techs have attempted to recover data from the dead hard drive & they are advising that the only way that Thunderbird can be recovered is from a working Hard Drive.
Until I hear otherwise, I am holding all my e-mail in the "Web Mail" version of my Programs.
Thanks
Richard

They removed it & attempted access it.
They were able to recover data but they said (because it would not boot); they couldn't access the Thunderbird Files.
Does this answer your question or do you need more info.
I will print this message and share it with them.

Sorry didn't read your post correctly.
You can always try - Genius Bar appointments at your nearest Apple Store are free.
You can also try to recover data from your last backup...
