Lost Folder containing Pictures possibly deleted by Mcafee shredder
I think i've deleted my family pictures by using macafee shredder. Is there anyway of getting them back. I have a satellite L10-114
Regards
Stu
Hi Stu,
If you have deleted folfers or files with McAfee Shredder, then I would be very surprised if you can recover them. Normally when files are deleted the actual data is still present on the hard drive and this makes it possible to recover the data using commercially available software downloadable from the internet, but with McAfee Shredder the data on the hard drive is actually overwritten to make sure that this cannot be done.
Sadly, unless you have you pictures backed up somewhere else then it is likely that they have been irrecoverably lost. :-(
regards,

How I can make a folder contain pictures &video an...
sorry if there are mistakes
i have n95 v 31.0,017
how I can make a folder in SD card contain pictures &video and I dont want them appear in studio
I dont want to use a files browser and hide my files and i dont want to use an application to encrypt them because I just want to sort my pictures in a folder and my video in afolder.
thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.You can also try to remove them from the images folder and the My videos folder, because this is where the Gallery will look for pictures and videos, and put them in another folder then reorganize them in sub folders within your new folder
Show your appreciation. Hit that kudos button real hard -
i am trying to make heads or tails of my pictures now after the import but there seems to be no organization left at all.
many pictures seem to also have lost (or never had) a date associated with them. so these photos seem to be placed randomly throughout the library.
i'm ready to take on the daunting task of organizing the pictures all over again, but just don't know where to start.
any tips would be appreciated. realize this is a pretty loaded question.
i also have Aperature on my computer as well using the same library of photos, if that would help manage my photos better.View Menu -> Sort Photos is a good way to start.
Some organising possibilities in iPhoto:
I use Events simply as big buckets of Photos: Spring 08, July - Nov 06 are typical Events in my Library. I use keywords and Smart Albums extensively. I title the pics broadly.
I keyword on a
Who
What
Where basis (The When is in the photos's Exif metadata). I also rate the pics on a 1 - 5 star basis.
Using this system I can find pretty much find any pic in my 50k library in a couple of seconds.
So, for example, I have a batch of pics titled 'Seattle 08' and a typical keywording might include: John, Anne, Landscape, mountain, trees, snow. With a rating included it's so very easy to find the best pics we took at Mount Rainier.
File -> New Smart Album
set it to 'All"
title contains Seattle
keyword is mountain
keyword is snow
rating is 5 stars
Or, want a chronological album of John from birth to today?
New Smart Album
Keyword is John
Set the View options to Sort By Date Ascending
Want only the best pics?
add Rating is greater than 4 stars
The best thing about this system is that it's dynamic. If I add 50 more pics of John to the Library tomorrow, as I keyword and rate them they are added to the Smart Album.
In the end, organisation is about finding the pics. The point is to make locating that pic or batch of pics findable fast. This system works for me. -
1. Will broken images in Originals folder hinder making a backup copy, rebuild, or other attempts at repair? I have Time Machine, never used it, and don't know when when iPhoto became referenced library (due to bad advice) 2. Is it OK to delete broken aliases from the Originals folder (white squares with arrows, jpeg tags, and a Quicktime logo)? 3. Would it make sense to select undamaged images in the Orginals folder for copying to a new library? I am cleaning up Events and exporting healthy photos from iPhoto before trying to copy the entire iphoto library folder. Thanks for your help.
What do you mean by "broken images"?
Never delete anything from the Originals folder, ever.
Try
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. (In early versions of Library Manager it's the File -> Rebuild command. In later versions it's under the Library menu.)
This will create an entirely new library. It will then copy (or try to) your photos and all the associated metadata and versions to this new Library, and arrange it as close as it can to what you had in the damaged Library. It does this based on information it finds in the iPhoto sharing mechanism - but that means that things not shared won't be there, so no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your events, albums and keywords, faces and places back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. -

Several years ago I received Adobe Photoshop Album Starter Edition 3.2 with a camara purchase. I never registered the software. Never enough time. I used the software yesterday. Today I uploaded 95 pictures of a First grade field tri and a Mother's Day Tea. I need these pictures for my end of the year book for each child. I have already deleted them from the camera card. After uploading I received a message that said I had to register now to use the software. I filled out the form and was told I would receive an unlock code via e-mail. The email said that this is no longer available. How do I retrieve my pictures?

I seem to have lost a folder containing important photos!!
I've seem to have lost a folder containing important photos yet still have my camera roll photos. How can I get these back? I haven't deleted anything, it may have happened when I synced my phone to the pc. My phone is always connected to wifi at home and therfore backs up on icloud. However I have other devices in the house linked to an itunes account but my phone is linked to a different one.
These photos have sentimental value and I would hate to lose them . Please help!!If those pictures were taken on that phone, creating or deleting folder will not remove those from camera roll, so check it.
If those were synced from pc - they are still in your pc's my pictures folder.
If those were synced from other pc, you need to find that other pc - same folder.
If those were emailed or imported from camera/sd card - they are still in camera roll.
Besides info above - if those pictures were in camera roll they may also be in iphone backup, that backup should be restorable or searched with use of multiple available on Google software programs. Those allow you to look in itunes backups. They also may still exist on the phone as not recognized by iphone files, until overwritten, there are programs for that as well. I can't recommend particulars, never used those. -
Screen Saver "The selected folder contains no pictures"
Hello,
I recently had my HD replaced on my IBook after thermal damage took out the old one, and the good Apple Store folks recovered and replaces the date from the old fwinky drive.
However, tweaking the configuration back into place, I noticed that most of the "Slideshow" style screensavers are now broken, with the following as patt of the error message:
"The selected folder contains no pictures"
Where the HECK are the insalled screensaver images stored? I would bring them over from the G4 tower, if I knew where to find them... Is there a way to reconnect the screensavers to the images if they are still on the drive?
I was able to find the screensaver files in:
System/Library/Screen Savers ...
But no sign of any images. Clicking or opening the file just launches the "Desktop & Screen Saver" preferences panel.
Mildly Baffled.
KurtThat appears to work. The pictures are indeed actually there. It seems the slide show screensaver functionality is somehow damaged.
Testing the screensaver on a new folder with some of my one images in it only shows a black screen. The problem apparently lies elsewhere. -
dear, i have a question please. if i want to keep a folder of pictures in my icloud account; then delete this folder off my phone would it be deleted from icloud account too?? cause im running out of memory on my iphone
thanksYou can't use icloud to store photos. There's a service called photo stream which is used to sync photos from one device to another, but this can't be used to store photos permanently.
Always sync photos from a device to your computer, Then you can delete them from the device.
Read this... import photos to your computer...

I have mistakenly deleted a mail folder in which I had created. I can't remember if it was located to 'iCloud' or 'On My Mac'. How can I retrieve the emails contained in this deleted folder? Your help will be immensely appreciated!
Yeah not a problem. It does seem though that if you did not have a Time Machine backup then you may not be able to recover the deleted folder :/ But for future reference to prevent any of this, a Time Machine backup is a great investment.
What it does is create an entire backup of your computer anything from personal information down to the screen saver.
What you first need is a new external hard drive (I would recommend a 1TB or higher just to prevent running out of space soon).
after that, just plug in the drive to your computer.
once it is plugged in, in the top right hand corner, close to the wi-fi symbol, you should see a symbol that looks like a clock with a backwards arrow around it.
click on that and select "open time machine preferences"
just turn the button to the "on" position, and select the backup drive and Time Machine does the rest
very great tool -
How do I delete a synced folder of pictures when the computer is gone?
I have a folder of pictures on my iphone 4 that I synced over a year ago. The computer the folder was on has since crashed and all data gone. The folder is still on my phone but when I log into itunes and click on photo tabs, then sync button, the folder does not show up. How do I get rid of this folder?
It should delete when you sync photos from the new computer

Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?
My daughter is running Adobe Reader 9.4.5 and Adobe Flash Player 10 Active X
on a Dell Dimension 4400 system with
Windows XP Home Edition version 2002 Service Pack 3.
During a full system backup using Seagate DiskWizard version 11.0.8326
each time folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6
is accessed the pc freezes with the Blue Screen error
IRQL NOT LESS OR EQUAL ERROR 0x0000000A
(0x00000166, 0x00000002, 0x00000000, 0x804E5443).
Each time the Adobe Reader 6 folder is opened manually, the system presents a spinning
CD icon superimposed on the cursor and attempts to access the CD drive.
The access ultimately fails since there is no CD loaded because there is no intent to install
anything at the moment.
Through a manual process of backing up each of the the files in the Adobe Reader 6 folder
individually, one at a time, I strongly suspect the problem file to be instmsiw.exe.
Can the folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 and the files it contains simpley be deleted?
Are there any registry entries or issues that must be addressed before deleting these files?
What is the best way to free up space on the C drive that is apparently being occupied by
files left over from the install of a prior version of Adobe Reader?
The folder C:\Windows\Cache\Adobe Reader 6 contains the following files:
0x0409.ini 5KB Configuration Settings 2/18/2003
abcpy.ini 2KB Configuration Settings 3/24/2003
Adobe Reader 6.0.msi 2198KB Windows Installer 5/19/2003
Data1.cab 23334KB WinZip file 5/19/2003
instmsia.exe 1669KB Application 3/11/2002
instmsiw.exe 1780KB Application 3/11/2002
Rdr60ENU.itw 16KB ITW file 5/11/2003
Rdr60ENU.mst 4KB MST file 4/16/2003
Setup.exe 212KB Application 5/19/2003
Setup.ini 2KB Configuration Settings 5/19/2003
Thank you for any assistance you can provide.Go to Add/Remove Programs in Control Panel and uninstall Adobe Reader 6. That version poses a security risk to your system and should be removed a.s.a.p.
After you remove it, reboot and then delete the "Adobe Reader 6" folder at the location you mentioned above.
Then go to http://get.adobe.com/reader/direct/ and download version 9.4
After that installs, download the latest patch for it by opening the program, then go to Help | Check For Updates.
As a precaution, download the free version of Malwarebytes from here: http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free and then run a full system scan. -
I lost all my pictures! Please help:( I added all my photo to a new album from the camera roll and i delete the picture that already move to new album, at last all my picture was gone !:'( Please, anyway to recover back all my photo? please help :'( Apple Service Center or Branch can help?
Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there. -
my problem is that i tunes when i shared a folder of pictures from my computer to the phone it make me two folder with the same fictures and i cant delete one of them i can delete my folder and the other who called (BIBLIOTHEQUE) or no one,really i enjoy my iphone but i dont like how i have to do to share a simple thing like music or pic. thank you very much
Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.
If you would have spent half the time actually reading the Terms of Use of this forum that YOU agreed to by signing up to post, as you did composing that usesless, inappropriate post, you (and the rest of us on this forum) would have been much better off. -
