My utilities folder has been deleted.

Well don't ask me how but my utilities folder has been deleted. I don't have disk utility or any of that anymore. How can i fix this?

Download the shareware utility Pacifist 2.0 from www.versiontracker.com or www.macupdate.com. Use it to extract a fresh copy of the entire Utilities folder from the file archive on your Intel Tiger Installer DVD. The archives may not be "visible" so you will need a utility such as TinkerTool to turn on the Finder's option to display invisible files and folders.
If you haven't emptied the Trash, then it's possible the folder may still be in the Trash. Open the Trash and check. If it's there just drag it out to its proper location in the Applications folder.

I still get a user listed upon startup, even when the user folder has been deleted.

I've deleted a user from the User Folder and I still have it showing up at Login ... have two other users listed ... but this deleted user still listed as a active account. Anyone have a suggestion on a fix?

You need to remove the user from the Accounts Pane in System Preferences.
Unlock the Pane, select the user and click the "-" (minus) button at the bottom of the pane.

Why does Epson app for the iphone show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll?

Why does the Epson app for my iphone 4 show a folder that has been deleted from my camera roll for months now?

Thanks @pdroth. I did a quick Google search of DB indexing. I'm not sure I found exactly what you were referring to but I see where you're going with it. I can understand that indexing my database of stored photos can be time consuming. It's frustrating that the space can't be recognized as being free more quickly.
I notice that some items I delete seem to free up the space much more quickly. Removing an app entirely or deleting from my Music generally shows up as available space in Usage pretty quickly.
Deleting a photo or video from the Camera Roll will take MUCH longer, so I guess that has something to do with the indexing process you are referring to.
I'd like to point out that when I run out of space on an SD card on any budget point and click digital camera that I can quickly delete a picture or two and INSTANTLY be able to take a couple of new photos in their place. I guess I just have that same expectation for the $500+ engineering marvel I have in my hand right now.
Thanks for chiming in.

ITunes has been deleted

My iTunes library has been deleted and seems to have been restored to its default settings (the last time I used it it was working fine). All my music is still on my iPod, so I was wondering if there is any way I can transfer the music back to my library, or if it only works the other way?

If you have any iTunes Music Store purchases the transfer of purchased content from the iPod to authorised computers was introduced with iTunes 7. You'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
The transfer of content sources such as songs imported from CD is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. Have a look at the web pages and documentation, this is just a small selection of what's available, they are generally quite straightforward. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Comparison of iPod managers
TuneJack Windows Only
iPod2PC Windows Only
iGadget Windows Only
iDump Windows Only
SharePod Windows Only
iPodRip Mac & Windows
YamiPod Mac and Windows
Music Rescue Mac & Windows
iPodCopy Mac and Windows
iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
However before you try that, if your songs still in the usual folder(s) on your computer try this. Hold down the Shift key in Windows when launching iTunes. In the resulting dialogue you will get the option to create a new library or navigate to an existing one. The default location for your iTunes library is in \Documents and Settings\Username\My Documents\My Music\iTunes\. Look in there and see if you have more than one library file (they have the extension .itl) If you have more than one try opening them in turn, you may find your original library is still intact: How to open an alternate iTunes Library file

If the OP is referring to Docs To Go, there is an option to reinstall the handheld programs available in the Desktop version of Docs To Go.
Should be found up in the Tools or Options section (I'm on a computer that doesn't have it installed right now..)

HT4993 Maps navigation has been deleted, how can I get it back?

Maps navigation has been deleted, how can I get it back?

If you mean the built-in Maps app, you can't delete it. Search all your screens and inside all your folders. You can also use Spotlight search on your phone to locate it and if it's inside a folder, the name of the folder will show to the right of the Maps icon. If you still can't find it go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. This will restore the home screen to its original configuration but may move other apps around to do so.

CS6 Photoshop reads this when attempting to "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). HELP!

Finally got a call this morning from an Adobe Rep and he explained to me the issue. He explained that I needed to uninstall the adobe product, in this case Photoshop CS6 and download it again and reinstall it! So, I did that and get the same message when attempting to open the newly downloaded software: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). Please, if someone could help me as soon as possible! I am very anxious to remedy this situation. Thank you!

This seems to have cropped up a lot recently. What has seemed to work so far is intentionally resetting your preferences:
Reset Preferences
1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win)/Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) during startup (not reversible)
or
2) Move the Folder. See:

Can I retrieve a TV show that has been deleted?

Here's the scoop:
I used to have many TV shows as a part of my iTunes library. One day, someone deleted the folder under my iTunes Music folder where the shows are stored. This was before I had begun regularly using Time Machine to back up all the files on my computer.
So, now all the titles of these TV shows appear in my Library, but when I click them, the file can obviously not be located since it has been deleted. Is there any way I could redownload these shows from iTunes? Is there any type of record that Apple keeps to see that I have downloaded these? I know they have DRM, so hopefully Apple could tell that I never passed these shows on to anyone else...
I just want to be able to watch some of these TV shows that have disappeared from my library. Any ideas?
If you're wondering, I have lost:
The Office Season 2: Christmas Party
The Office Season 3: A Benihana Christmas
The Office Season 3: Phyllis's Wedding
Saturday Night Live: Lazy Sunday
Scrubs Season 6: My Musical
South Park Season 1: Mr. Hankey
24 Season 6: 1:00 P.M. - 2:00 P.M.
24 Season 6: 2:00 P.M. - 3:00 P.M.
30 Rock Season 1: Blind Date

Use the form on this page to request a free redownload, or use the Transfer Purchases feature if applicable. If neither of these works, you will need to purchase the content again to get them back; Apple needs to pay the copyright holders for each download from the iTunes Store other than podcasts, album artwork, and iPod touch/iPhone applications.

Contents of my "desktop" folder have been deleted

I woke up this morning to find that the contents of my "desktop" folder have been deleted.
It no longer appears under "Places" in a new window in the finder so I assume it has been deleted and the finder created a new one.
When I do a search for a file I know was on the desktop it does not show up any longer.
Any ideas where it could have gone to? Or if it is recoverable?

Is it possible to undelete files if they were deleted by accident??
If they're still in the trash, yes, you can just move them out.
If not, then in theory you might be able to recover them, but it's expensive and quite "iffy." And the more you've used the computer, the more likely it is that they've been overwritten. If you want to go that route, turn your Mac off immediately. Use another to look for +Data Recovery+ apps via Google, VersionTracker.com, or MacUpdate.com.
Also, get an external drive or Time Capsule or USB drive for an Airport Express and start using Time Machine. You'd have been able to recover in about a minute.

Uninstalled Roboform and everything has been deleted except for the icon in my launchpad.

I just uninstalled Roboform from my mac and all has been deleted except for the roboform icon in Launchpad, drag & drop does not work so am at a loss as to how to get rid of it. All icons in the Applications folder along with all files have gone but this one persists.
Anyone out there any ideas. The Robofrom site and faq's have nothing on it and contacting them is fraught with setting up user & password so not going there.
Thanks to all who may respond.

Simply drag the icon to the trash and empty the trash.
Cheers

CS5 - Photoshop won't start: preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)

Environment:
Win7 Ultimate - 4 gig ram - CS5 Design Premium
Seemingly out of the blue - Photoshop stopped loading and I'm getting two error messages :
first: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 Extended: "Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered
second: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 Extended: "could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted).
I've deleted the two Preferences Files - but they don't seem to repopulate on startup - (or if they do they are deleted per the error message)
I tried copying a Preferences file from another working machine but that failed as well.
In addition: Dreamweaver is kicking out the following error messages - but opens and seems to work normally.
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: Unable to open script file C:\Program Files (x86) Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Shared\Spry\Designtime\EditingUtils.js (error 2).
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: Unable to open script file "C:\Program Files (x86) \Adobe\Adobe dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\dwscripts.js" (error 2).
I'm in the middle of a big project and need to get back up quickly - any help would be much appreciated.
Thx.

Run photoshop as administrator holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, that should trigger a preferences reset prompt.
If that won't work I would do a backup and delete the entire Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings folder, not just the two files you mentioned.
As for your Dreamweaver issue, try deleting WinFileCache-********.dat (or FileCache.dat) from your Dreamweaver Config folder.
Otherwise try deleting your preferences
Exit Dreamweaver.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
Choose Start, type regedit in the Start Search, and then press Enter.
In the left pane of the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
Remove the Dreamweaver preferences registry entries.

my i pod is dead... all files in it has been deleted. wat to do?

If your songs were purchased from the iTunes Store, you can go to the Purchased screen (in the iTunes Store), while logged in with your Apple ID (the one used to purchase the songs), and re-download any previous purchase.
Otherwise, if you do not have a backup of your song files, they are lost. If you do have a backup, you just need to drag the song files (or the folder containing the song files) to the iTunes window.

How can I uninstall Trend Micro Safe Surfing once the app has been deleted from my Mac OS X?

How can I uninstall Trend Micro Safe Surfing once the app has been deleted from my Mac OS X?

Check to see if there's such a folder as either
/Library/Application Support/Trend Micro
~/Library/Application Support/Trend Micro
and if so, see if either contains an uninstaller.
Failing that, download the demo version of the app from Trend Micro, and try the uninstaller that it should contain.
If all else fails, the manual way would be to use something like EasyFind and search for anything with "com.trendmicro" in the filename (you can use Finder, but be sure to include system files and invisible files in the search options). Pay particular attention to the folders
/Library/LaunchAgents
/Library/LaunchDaemons
~/Library/LaunchAgents
~/Library/Internet Plug-Ins
~/Library/Preferences

HT1311 How to download AppStore icon on iPad as it has been deleted by mistake on IPad?

Hello,
How can we download the AppStore icon on IPad as it has been deleted by mistake and we do not know how to retrieve it?
Thanks

It can't be deleted. Either it's been moved to another home screen or dropped into a folder, in which case doing a search for it or resetting the home screen layout (Settings -> General -> Reset) should bring it back, or the option to install apps has been turned off in Settings -> General -> Restrictions.
Regards.
