Pictures placed in Trash by accident....

By accident, hundreds of good pictures I want to save were placed in the Trash. I have tried and tried to take them out and place them in a new album I created where they belong. It just will not let me do that. The Trash is the only place where these pictures show, and if I hit "delete" it tells me they are gone forever. How in the world do I move these pictures out of the trash?

select the iPhoto trash in the source pane on the left and then select teh photo(s) and right click (control click) and select restore to library

  • While dragging 3000 pictures to trash, I accidently released them on desktop.  Now, I just get spinning wheel and everything is frozen.  What can I do??

    What can I do??

    See my post in the link below to see how to remove the images from a straight command line startup. The instructions are to remove JPEG images, which I'm assuming is the case here.

  • I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side.  I am able to make with only one at a time.

    I want to make a video clip using two still pictures, placing side by side.  I am able to make with only one at a time.  Also, I am able to move the picture using Transform.  But unsuccessfull in making with two stills in same clip.  Thank you for reply.

    If you want a Picture in Picture effect, stack one still on top of the other with a connect edit. Use Transform to scale and reposition the top image.

  • I have deleted imovie and emptied my trash by accident and i was wondering if anyone knew how to get it back

    Hi i am alice
    I have deleted imovie and emptyied my trash by accident and i was wondering if anyone could tell me how to get it back
    thx

    iMovie is part of the iLife suite of programs.
    If you have 10.7 or 10.8 when the machine was purchased, just log into AppStore and accept the iLife for that machine and reinstall it all, it will replace iMove.
    If you have 10.6 originally came on the machine, look on your second set of disks, there is a bundled installer that should put it back on, then Software Update fully to bring it current.
    If you originally had 10.5 on the machine, stick the disk in and try to run the bundled installer, or use Pacifist from CharlesSoft to extract the program and then Software Update fully.

  • Photos placed in Trash

    I am new to the BT Cloud.  When I opened my account today, almost for the first time, I discovered that all my photographs had been placed in Trash, including a massive number of Album Art images.  I have not placed anything in Trash and I did not upload the Album Art, it all appears to have taken place automatically.  I spent a few hours trying to restore the images. I could not find any 'bulk' command so I had to click on every image individually.  I hope it does not happen again and would like to know why it happened this time.

    I have no clue how to use time machine and I never have.
    Assuming you made a TimeMachine drive before your accidental deletion and it backed up/updated, then there should be no problem restoring.
    But something tells me you didn't .
    If you didn't then your looking at data recovery using a external boot drive and $100 Data Rescue software if your internal boot drive is a hard drive. Don't think the deleted data can be as easily recovered off a SSD if you replaced yours in your 2010 model (came with hard drives)
    If the boot hard drive isn't Filevaulted, you didn't use Secure Empty Trash, Disk Utility > Erase Free Space or wrote a lot of items to the drive or used the machine very little since the accidental deletion occurred, then there is a very good chance the files may be recoverable provided Data Rescue can recognize the iPhoto file format and reconstruct them again off the 1's and 0's off the drive.
    The software has to be installed on a external boot drive while the computer is booted from it to minimize the chance of overwriting the deleted data. Another Mac with FireWire Target Disk Mode can also be used with Data Rescue on it.
    .Create a data recovery/undelete external boot drive
    If I'm talking geek speak and not making any sense, then stop using the computer and take it to a local PC/Mac tech which for a fee will image your entire boot drive (deleted files and all) to a external drive which you then can use Data Rescue yourself (for better privacy) or they will do the entire attempted recovery themselves.

  • Files are automatically placed in trash, ***?

    Hi,
    This is an issue that has been troubling me recently. I find that OS X Automatically places files in the trash can, such as the app file for my kindle for mac and also a video editing software I need to use quite often. I have also found mixes and sound files that are integral to projects that I am working on and completely irreplaceable.( These are of course backed up elsewhere).
    HAs anyone come across this before? And can anyone tell me how to remedy this very, very irritating issue?

    This mysterious disappearance happened to me yesterday, although nothing to do with Kindle.
    I'm on a Mac Mini (2010) with Snow Leopard and was working on InDesign (CS5), when it crashed and vanished. Nowhere to be found. Since all the support documents were still in place, I just copied the app file over from my backup drive and it worked fine. Then, hours later, Photoshop & Illustrator disappeared....so I started up MacKeeper. I then noticed the trash needed emptying, but thankfully looked in it first. There were all my missing apps, plus other apps I hadn't even missed yet (iLife apps, Activity Monitor & lots of support documents. Odd things like the Painter brush collection).
    Couldn't find anything online about this, other than people have been experiencing it since around 2009 (Snow Leopard debut?) but no one had a clue as to its cause or remedy.
    I'm always surprised when Mac techies say they've "never heard of....." some problem before. Is anyone starting to hear about it now? There is little discussion about it, I admit, and it took a while to find the right keywords to get anything.
    I placed my trashed files back in their respective locations, took off "admin" priviliges after reading that Apple recommends this, and ran some utility apps. I then backed up my HD to a different external drive, in case there was still something wrong--didn't want to ruin my good BU drive. All is fine so far, 24 hours later.

  • How can I review the pictures in the trash before emptying it?

    I have over 500 pictures in the trash, and want to double check that desirable pictures didn't end up there inadvertently. How can I review pictures? I tried pulling them back into a folder, but I couldn't pull them out of the trash.
    Help!

    Thanks, Larry. It turns out that the reason that I could not see the pictures is that I had them set to large. Fiddling around, I accidentally reduced the size of the photos and they showed up so that worked. And though I can't "right-click" with a touchpad, I did remember that using the control key has the same effect, and was able to retrieve two different photos, and happily delete the 500+ remainders.
    In another forum, someone had suggested trashing the plist file (username/Library/Preferences/iPhoto...) when the application was acting "strangely" and assured the reader that no data would be missing.
    Imagine my surprise to find all keywords gone, and with it, many many hours of work. Luckily, common sense prevailed, and I hauled the plist file out of the computer's trash, and was able to reinstate all the data.
    Gotta be careful about advice. These things can be COMPLICATED.
    Thanks again.

  • I think i put system preferences in my trash by accident and now it says i cant open it because it may be dameged or incomplete what do i do??? HELP please?

    i think i put system preferences in my trash by accident and now it says i cant open it because it may be dameged or incomplete what do i do??? HELP please?

    Did you retrieve it from the trash, or are you trying to open it while in the trash?
    If it's become corrupted you'll need to reinstall the OS to be sure of repairing it properly. If you're on 10.6 that won't affect your accounts and data, but as you don't mention what OS you have we can't give specific advise on the install.

  • How do i send more than one picture/image to trash

    I am trying to delete several pictures/images to trash. Can that be done?

    Thanks... these are the images and pictures that I discovered in Finder under all images.  There are thousands..
    I was surprised. So many images from my searches and emails.  I have used the shift key, but I still have to click on each image. That could take hours.  On my old Dell, I was able to click on an image or picture and then scroll down to the last one I wanted to delete with the sift key held down.  That highlighted all items in between. Is that possible on my Mac?
    Thanks

  • I have a picture behind my trash can. I cannot remove it. How can I remove this. I have restarted and it remains.

    I was trying to remove photos from my photo stream by putting them in the trash can. A picture is stuck behind it. How can I remove it. I have restarted and still no luck.

    Temporarily move your dock to the left side of the screen in System Preferences > Dock.
    Then grab the picture and move it.  Return the dock to the bottom.

  • Pictures placed in design wont display correctly in browser.

    As I continue to work on my website I continue to come across issue with muse.  Following issues I have is with the display of photos placed on a webpage not being correct.
    Below is an image of my page design:
    Page setting is as follows:
    Page Width 960px; Min Height 521px
    Columns 5; colums Width 168px and Gutter 20px
    Margins Top 20 Bottom 20 Left 20 Right 20
    Padding: Top 119; bottom 0; left 0.
    Centre Horizontally.
    As you can see that images placed on the page are placed next to each other.
    The first Image of the cargo ship, is as follows
    x: 100  y: o   w:441  H:292
    the second image of the lighthouse is as follows;
    x:341  y:0   w:243   H: 413
    When I preview it I get the follows;
    This is just one of many issue I am facing with using Muse.  The images have been optimised for web using Photoshop CC, Save for Web, and the sizes have been reduced as well.
    I am not sure whether this is an issue with Muse CC or whether I am doing something wrong.  I cannot find any tutorials that address this issue, and I have no clue where to go from here.
    These images were placed on the page using the Place command.
    The control bar's pin has help solve some of the issue I was having but not on this occassion.  Any advise would be appreciated as it is stopping me from fully publishing my site on the web.
    My default web browser is Google Chrome.

    Hi Aish I did what you asked by it didnt have an effect on what I wanted.  I left pin both picture, they were together, and showed in the browser to left of centre of the page.  I want the lighthouse pic to be centre in the middle of the page, and the picture of the cargo ship, to go from the left of the browser to the edge of the Lighthouse, which is shown in the design mode in my first post.  It is obvious that Muse is not wysiwyg (what you see is what you get).  As what is displayed in the design mode, first image above and what is displayed in the browser view ( second image) are two different images and not similar at all.  And when I centre pin the two images they are togther in the middle of page and the second images doesnt touch the left edge of the page.  The lighthouse should be the full height of the page from just touching the header and footers.  But I think the issue is that the pages could be set to scrolling or expanding pages and not a fixed height.

  • HT201612 how do i undo pictures from the trash by error?

    how do I get pictures from Trash?

    If you haven't emptied the trash just move the files back to where they were, otherwise you will need to use a recovery application such as Data Rescue.

  • Every time I send a picture to the trash from my desktop, and then empty the trash, a window pops up saying The operation can't be completed because the item ".DS_Store" is in use."

    It started yesterday, and I don't know how to get it to stop. I switched to a macbook recently so I'm pretty new at this, but any advice will help.

    Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    lsof | grep Trash | open -ef
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
    Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
    The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
    A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. If the command produced no output, the window will be empty. Post the contents of the TextEdit window (not the Terminal window), if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
    If any personal information appears in the output, anonymize before posting, but don’t remove the context.

  • How do I delte a file that will not allow itself to be placed in Trash?

    I have a file on my iMac (running OS X 7.7.5) and I just noticed a file on the destop that looks like an Xcel file, however its name
    is "C6C1C450" with NO .XLXS tag on it. I cannot be moved from its location in the very uppermost right-hand corner of the screen,
    and I cannot drag it to the trash. If I attempt to do so I get a window that says"The item “C6C1C450” can’t be moved to the Trash
    because it can’t be deleted." I now suspect that it is not really an Xcel document at all. How do I get rid of it?

    I cannot explain how this file came to be on the desktop! I was straightening things up this morning and there it was. I forgot to mention that the file cannot be opened by double-clicking on it, nor can it be dropped into Xcel to open it. ( It doesn't even show up in the Xcel applications Open command window when I look at the "desktop" listing of items.)  That's why I feel that it is probably not really an Excel file.
