Just deleted an important file from backup. How do I retrieve it?

Just deleted an important file from 'Backup' in 'Finder'. How do I retrieve it?

Thank you for using the Apple Support Communities
From what I understand is that you deleted a backup file. Could you describe your problem with a little more detail please.

  • I believe that I deleted some important files from the utilities section. Im interested to upgrade my Mac to  OS X Mountain Lion. If I do so, will OS X Mountain replace my deleted files? At the moment I'm running Mac OS x 10.6.8

    Yes, if it is something that was installed as part of OSX to start with.  If you're missing Onyx, well that isn't part of Apple's software and you'll have to get it from the source.
    Depending upon the significance of the application there are ways do a custom installation of software rather than the whole operating system.  I use a much older operating system version so I cannot be very reliable on the specifics.

  • How can I delete an infected file from backup folders

    ran Sophos anti-virus recently and it told me I have a malicious trojan on my Mac, Mal/PDFEx-H (which supposedly only affects windows, but it turned up anyway.) Sophos couldn't remove it automatically, so I was instructed to do a manual removal; however, every time I try to delete the file from the backup folders in which it is located, I get a message that "backup files can't be altered."
    so, my question is: how do I get rid of some malicious trojan (even though it's only for windows) from my backup folders? Btw, the backup folders in which it is located are all over 2 years old...don't know if that makes any difference, like maybe the entire folders could be deleted without any adverse effects?
    thanks for any advice.

    just wondering why you said that about Sophos? it's a download from Apple's web site and it did catch this, even though it couldn't remove it...
    thanks, again!
    I think that Linc means (and I concur) you don't need it to protect your Mac and it wastes resources, if it makes you feel better because it alerts you to windows viruses then remove it and install ClamAX or AV or whetever it's called.
    But you don't need AV software.

    Help!! working on a movie on Imovie. I had to delete a music file from a clip section and now there are some clips that have no audio!!! don't know how to get the audio back to my clips!!!! Help!!!

    You can use some third party software to copy the music from your old iPod back to computer first, and then import the music into iTunes and re-sync them to yournew iPod. Here is a guide about how to transfer iPod music to computer. Hope it helps. Feel free to email me if you need further help.

  • Delete certain files from backup

    Is it possible to:
    1) backup my iPhone (locally with my iTunes on Win7), I CAN DO THIS, of course
    2) delete only certain files from the backup (there are many tools for exploring backup, but I have not found anyone which can also delete certain file, only view and export), I CAN LOCATE THE BACKUP DIRECTORY and see the files, but is it possible to locate those that I'd like to delete and simply erase them?
    3) restore my iPhone with such an altered backup?
    Thank you
    Kamil
    PS: I need to delete certain files from var directory, but I do not have root access, so this seems to be the only solution (I do not want to jailbreak and also I do not want to start from zero, I mean to make factory reset and then to set up everything again)

    Maybe you should try to install it and try it yourself.
    You can edit sql databases (delete some records e.g. from call history), but you cannot delete files in the folders (.jpegs, .plist etc.).
    I tried to export only files, that I wanted to recover, then I have made factory reset of my iPhone, made new local backup of the empty reseted device. Then I tried to import to this empty backup those exported files, but it is also not supported. Only files which already exist in the current backup can be imported. It means that you cannot remove or add file into the backup, you can only modify it - with this tool certainly.
    Let us try it with another question: is it possible to make selective restore (to restore only certain settings, call history, SMS's, files...,) but not the whole backup?
    Thank you for your effort.

  • How to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control

    Hi
    Anybody suggest me how to delete archive log files from ASM through Grid Control.
    Thanks

    It is important to specify both, the oracle version and os version when posting, so confusions can be avoided.
    In this particular case, since you are referring to asm and grid control you could be talking about either 10gR1, 10gR2 or 11gR1; but I strongly suggest you to avoid us to be guessing. In either case, you sould go to the maintenance tab of the target database and program a scheduled 'delete noprompt obsolete;' procedure. This will purge the information stored at the Flash recovery area, which I assume you have declared inside the ASM.

  • How to delete all my files from my Mac?

    Can anyone help me, how do I delete all my files from my Mac?

    If you want to eventually sell or give away your Mac, follow the below steps to prepare it.
    If your old Mac shipped with Lion or Mountain Lion, boot into Internet Recovery by holding down Cmd-opt-r on restart. When it boots, select Disk Utility and erase the Macintosh HD volume, then reinstall the OS. It will install the OS the Mac shipped with.
    If it shipped with Snow Leopard, boot from the original install disk and select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu which you will see after selecting the Language. From there, select the Hard drive device (top of the list), and click on the Partition tab. Set it to 1-partition, give the new volume a name (Macintosh HD), and click Apply.
    If you just want to get rid of the data off the Mac, create a new Admin user account, log into it, then delete your user account from the Users & Groups system Prefs. It will ask if you want to keep or delete the home folder.

  • How to delete the Generated files from application server(open hub)?

    hi experts,
    when i try to execute process chain the DTP it is giving below dump. Exception CX_RSBK_REQUEST_LOCKED logged.
    when i execute the DTP manually and trying to delete the previous request, it is giving for dump ITAB_DUPLICATE_KEY.
    so to delete the generated file from application server, how to delete it for specific dates?
    Information on where terminated
    Termination occurred in the ABAP program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" - in
    "START_ROUTINE".
    The main program was "RSBATCH_EXECUTE_PROZESS ".
    In the source code you have the termination point in line 2874
    of the (Include) program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM".
    The program "GPD6S3OE0BCVGC6L9DBNVYQARZM" was started as a background job.
    and when i check the dump it is point out at below code
    " Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
    SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC
    into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
    FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
    STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
    but the programme is syntactically correct only.
    how to rectify the issue.
    regards

    hi experts,
    We have written start routine to get the storage location text and sending to File located at Application server through OPEN HUB.
    here is the code written in the Transformations
    In the global section
    Text for 0STOR_LOC
        DATA: l_0stor_loc_text TYPE HASHED TABLE OF /bi0/tstor_loc
              WITH UNIQUE KEY stor_loc.
        DATA: l_0stor_loc_text_wa TYPE /bi0/tstor_loc.
    and in the code to get the text
    " Populate the lookup table for 0STOR_LOC
        *SELECT * from /BI0/TSTOR_LOC*
          into CORRESPONDING FIELDS OF table L_0STOR_LOC_TEXT
          FOR ALL ENTRIES IN SOURCE_PACKAGE WHERE
                  STOR_LOC = SOURCE_PACKAGE-STOR_LOC.
    im sure there is problem with the Routine only. i think i need to change the code if so please provide me the modified one.
    thanks

  • I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    I accidentally deleted my media files from iTunes and Trash when I was trying to move the files to an external hard drive. Is there a way to restore the media files from a Time Machine backup or from iTunes Match? What are the steps to do this?

    If you have been backing up on Timemachine.
    All you need to do is enter time machine... Then the rest is obvious.
    Find the iTunes folder and hit 'Restor'.
    If not the only way to get all your iTunes music back is to enter iTunes Store.
    On the right hand side you should see 'Purchased'.
    Click 'purchased' and there you have it.
