Is there a way to recover documents removed from trash bin

Is there a way to recover word documents etc that have been removed from the trash bin? They must still be on the hard drive somewhere. Thanks for any help!

The problem is that your system no longer knows about the files - it has removed the pointer that tells it that those files exist, and where they start and end.
However, it may be possible to recover the files using a utility like Data Rescue. The less you've used the computer since you emptied the trash, the higher the likelihood of recovery. And I don't just mean reading/writing user files, since the system is constantly using "available" hard drive space as storage (for temp and log files).
Good luck!

  • Is there a way to recover my info from my hard drive even if it won't power on?

    Is there a way to recover my info from my hard drive even if it won't power on? When plugged in my computer does not power on and I am only seeing a dim amber light that is blinking. Is there a way I can recover my hard drive before sendin my computer in??

    This is not something for the faint of heart. What Ogelthorpe is suggesting is that you open up your computer, remove the hard drive and then install it in a "shell" that allows you to use it as an external hard drive. This "shell" is called an enclosure. You can purchase cheap USB enclosures many places, such as at Best Buy, which has the advantage of speed if you have such a store near you. However, you can purchase better quality enclosures online, from such places as Other World Computing.
    If that sounds like more than you feel comfortable with doing, pay someone else to do the job for you. Call your local Apple Store and see what they will do for you. I'm not actually sure how they handle such issues.

    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.

  • Is there a way to recover or remove a restriction password without retoring  a iphone 4 without restarting the phone as a new phone

    is ther a way to recover a restriction password without restarting the phone as a new phone

    No. A simple backup and restore just restores the restriction password from the backup you just made, unless you revert to a backup before the password was set.  The other option is recovery which deletes all data.

  • Is there a way to recover files deleted from icloud?

    I inadvertently deleted a Pages document from my iPhone and it has disappeared from my iPad and iCloud.  Is there any way to recover it?

    Deleting won't make the files erased permanently.As long as those files are not overwritten by new data, it's highly possible to recover them.Those deleted files is still stored on the hard drive, it's just invisible or inaccessible.And the most effective
    way is to rely on some data recovery programs.
    Try this one called Tenorshare Data Recovery. I also encountered the same trouble before.Finally this program helped me recover the file I accidentally deleted from the recycle bin successfully.
    One tip here:Your files will be recovered into the recycle bin.So you'd better not to delete any other files into the recycle bin.Once the deleted files were overwritten by new deleted files,they are all historys!

  • Is there a way to recover iCal data from computer or iPhone backup through iTunes?

    I  synched my iPad  with my computer and my ALL of my iCal information disappeared from my computer. I tried put my calendar information back on my computer from my iPhone, but instead the reverse happened, and all of my calendar information disappeared from my iPhone, too.
    I am using an older MacBook Pro (15-inch Core 2 Duo), running Mac OS X Lion version 10.7.4, an iPhone 4, iPad 1, and iPod Touch, all using iOS 5.1.1 (9B206). I regularly use iCal on my iPhone and on my computer, but not on the iPad and iPod Touch.
    I do not use iCloud because my personal calendar and contact information was appearing on other family member's iPhones. (We share an iTunes library in under my Apple ID, and I did not want to create a different Apple ID for iCloud yet.).
    Is there a way to recover my iCal info on my computer? Or alternatively, could I recover it on my iPhone from my iTunes backups (my iTunes backups are encrypted)?
    Of course, I learned my lesson, and if I recover my data, I will back up my calendar daily, but for now, valuable information is lost, and I would like to recover it if at all possible.
    Any help at all will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you.

    You'll have to confirm with the developer of Keeper whether the data is stored as part of the iPhone backup or not. If it is, then restoring the iPhone from your latest back should restore the data to Keeper. My guess, though, is that since the free version of Keeper won't allow you to create a backup, the data is not part of the iTunes backup and hence won't be restored.
    Regards.

  • Is there a way to recover deleted mail from my iPad and recover deleted messages from my onw iPhone?

    Is there a way to recover deleted mails sent from iPad and/or recover deleted messages from my iPhone?
    A software or even open it? It is very important for me get back the messages sent on December. I did not have a back up at that time, at least that I know, but I change my iPhone and had as I got a micro chip, I could take my contacts from iTunes.
    Does it means a back up was done at the Note book I used that time or the messages are lost?
    And my mails? From my server, I can recover only from 5 last days!
    Thank you for any help!!

    Thanks for replying - no, I had not done a backup since the shots were taken and then attemped to put them in an album as I did not want to change the enviornment of the phone from when I had inadvertently delted them.   Unfortunatlely, when asked "Do you want to delete these photos from all locations," I hit yes and they were also deleted from my Photostream. 

  • 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.

  • I have deleted my iPhoto library by mistake. Is there any way to recover it?  My trash has been deleted and it is not in there.

    Help!  I have deleted my iphoto library.  Is there any way to recover it?  It is not in my trash as I emptied that.

    If you really moved it to the Trash and emptied the Trash, your best option is to restore the iPhoto library from your backup.
    But if you did not actually trash the library and it is just missing, search for it with Find Any File as described by Old Toad in this post:   Re: iPhoto Library is missing. What do I do?
    If you don't have a backup and cannot find the library, you will need to buy recovery software to find the photos, but that will not restore the library.
