Not sure if I deleted recovery folder on Mac

Hi,
For some reason my recovery folder was in the Trash and so I dragged the folder to the left hand side bar under pictures, then emptied the trash, but I think I deleted it anyway. How do I check if I have deleted it and if I have how do I get it back, if needed or could i just create a new folder.

What are you referring with recovery folder? If you are referring to Recovery HD, it's a partition, so it wasn't deleted after emptying the Trash

    The iPhoto application should be in your applications folder
    If you have removed it and your computer came with restore disks then you will need them to reinstall. Or you can purchase a version on DVD or from the App Store. Apple my be able to reace missing restore disks for a nominal charge

  • I'm not sure how to delete apps on mac

    someone help me plz
    im not sure how to delete apps on my mac

    Well normally all you have to do is delete (Move to Trash) the .App file but then some program place things in different Library folder around you hard drive. None of thos other files maen anythiing with out the app beinig run except for taking up disk space.
    So apps come with uninstall programs but most don't. If you run the installer again you may find an uninstall app included.
    Here is a web page that can give you more information.

  • Ignore this thread - not sure how to delete it

    I solved my problem and I'm not sure how to delete this thread.

    I'm just a lowly user of Aperture but when I want to compare an original image to the edited one on my screen, I simply hit the keyboard letter "M" on my keyboard.  This reveals the original photo before editing and hitting M again gives you edited version.  I do this in the VIEWER mode to toggle between the two.
    You might also try selecting an image while in SPLIT VIEW mode, holding down the command key and selecting a second image...this puts both (or several if you want) images in the viewer in order to compare.
    Hope this helps a little!

  • Deleted Recovery folder

    I accidently deleted the 'Recovery' folder on the Recovery drive d. 
    I had run Backup just after getting the Laptop (It's a dv7 with Windows 7 Home) and then upgraded my OS to Windows 7 Pro. I was trying to backup the pc today and thought that after upgrading I would need a new Recovery folder, so I deleted the current one.
    That was a mistake...Can someone tell me how to restoree/recover/re-create it?

  • Items are not moved to the deleted items folder when they expire

    Hey
    I have Exchange 2010 Server (Version: 14.01.0438.000) and configured a retention policy with one retention tag for the
    inbox that moves items after 365 days to the deleted items folder. I have assigned this policy to one Mailbox to see if it works. It doesn't. :)
    All Items are "stamped" correctly with a expiry date. And the Messages show now "This item is expired" for example:
    I made the Policy a week ago and waited to see if the items will be moved but nothing happen until today. The Application Log shows no errors or warnings. I already used "Start-ManagedFolderAssistant"
    multiple times....
    what is wrong here? And how do i track the problem down?
    i also checked all the other threads regarding the same or alike issues. But couldn't find anything that would halp me.

  • Not SURE HOW TO TRANSFER PHOTOS  FROM A "MAC CD" FOR USE A PC

    I didn't expect a problem, but have run into one this weekend.
    Looking thru old photos, I came across a photo disk from Ritz Camera containing pix from 2006. Wanted to pass along the pix (along with other photos and documents) to a friend who has a PC.
    After burning all the data onto a fresh CD, I tested the disk on a PC and found all the other files could be opened except for the items from the original Ritz CD.
    Those items included three separate folders, nested within a single fourth one.
    The folders were labeled "Ritz Documentation" . . . "Preview" and "Pictures".
    The last two appeared to contain identical JPG items, but I left them all intact.
    I'm not particularly PC savvy, and the owner of the PC computer has departed, so I had to wing it on my own. The only thing close to a photo manipulation application I could find on the PC was Picassa, which located the disk and files in the CD drive and was able to read the three other individual items, but could only recognize the three Ritz files. When I clicked on them it said they were "invalid" documents.
    Any idea on what I'm doing wrong?
    I know the files were readable by the owner's previous PC in 2004, so assumed they would be now, as well. I also still can see clearly the copies I transfered to my Mac and did nothing to them, except drag the entire original folder from my Mac to the new CD.
    If the files can't be copied this way, would it make any more sense to transfer all the files directly from the Ritz CD to the PC and add the other 3 files from the CD I created . . . then transfer them all to a new CD for burning?
    Sounds convoluted and time consuming, but I need to complete this project today, so am ready to try anything.
    Any insight or suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sory, I can't find the name of the MacUser who steered me onto the right path, but do think I remember thanking him via e-mail.
    If I'm mistaken, thanks a bunch. I finally finished transferring all the photos onto a CD. Actually completed one project , which I was able to test on a PC.
    Have run into a second, smaller one on the current project, which I I think I probably should post separately.

  • How do I permanently delete itunes folder on mac hd ?

    I want to use my external for library.

    You have two alternatives:
    1. Change the location of the library in the Advanced section of iTunes preferences.
    2. Create an alias to the new iTunes folder's location and place the alias in the original locations. Then delete the newly made iTunes folder you find there and rename the alias to iTunes.

  • There is a question mark on My Documents folder. Not sure what happened. Please help! Thanks

    There is a question mark over My Documents on the sidebar.
    Not sure what happened to the folder.
    How can I restore it?
    Thanks!

    You can try dragging that alias off the sidebar (command-key) and drag a new one from your user folder into place.

    i deleted my events in iPhoto Help?  The "events" are not in the trash.  I did download stellar phoenix recovery but not sure what to do

    i deleted my events in iPhoto Help?
    You deleted them in iPhoto on your Mac?
    If you do not have a backup of your iPhoto library, run the recovery program you downloaded, then reimport the folder with recovered photos into iPhoto.
    You will probably have to weed out plenty of seemingly duplicates (thumbnails, previews, and original files), since the program will not be able to reconstruct your events, only find image files.

  • Accidentally deleted /var folder, now recovery utilities not responding to trackpad/keyboard!

    So I did something completed stupid, and now have a big problem.
    I accidentally deleted /var folder and emptied the trash!!
    Now my MBP is stuck at the grey start up screen with the apple & spinng wheel and won't start up..
    The weird thing is, now when I enter recovery utilities, everything displays fine except I cannot click anything! The mouse pointer moves but won't respond to clicks! Same with the return on keyboard. Arrow keys work to move among 4 options on os x utilities (time machine/ reinstall/ online help/ disk utility) but when I hit enter, no response! The trackpad & return key works fine up until the point where the mbp asks which language to run the recovery utilities.
    All my data is backed up online, and now I just want to reinstall os x and start using my mbp again!
    I tried reinstall with an installation disc by holding down 'c' on start, then I hear the installation dvd spinning for 3 seconds, then it would start ticking and won't do anything else for a few minutes until I force shutdown.
    Please!!! Can anyone help me?? How can I reinstall os x??  I would really appreciate!!
    Thank you Thank you Thank you in advance.
    -Michelle

    I know it's late but maybe it will help other people.
    I ran into the same issue and none of the solutions listed by apple helped.
    I booted into single-user mode and I read the log in /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/private/var/log/system.log, it was full of errors like theses
    Dec 30 18:03:28 MacBook-Air locationd[352]: libcoreservices: _dirhelper: 454: mkdir: path=/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000sm00006d/C/ modes[2]=0700: No such file or directory
    Dec 30 18:03:28 MacBook-Air.local locationd[352]: could not create persistent store directory (Input/output error)
    Dec 30 18:03:28 MacBook-Air locationd[352]: libcoreservices: _dirhelper: 454: mkdir: path=/var/folders/zz/zyxvpxvq6csfxvn_n00000sm00006d/C/ modes[2]=0700: No such file or directory
    The system actually tried to create directories in /var/folders but the directory /var/folders did not exists, so I created it:
    Under single-user mode:
    mount -o update /
    cd /Volumes/Macintosh\ HD/
    mkdir var/folders
    mkdir var/folders/zz
    reboot
    And it booted just fine !

    Can you do setup an unread mail folder that shows all unread mail regardless of what folder it really is in on the iPhone mail program somehow?
    No.
    If not, can this be submitted as an enhancement as it makes email use very cumbersome.
    Yes. You can submit feedback to Apple: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html.
