Recover deleted document

Been working for 2 years on this document and this time I decided to upload it to dropbox and keep safe there. unfortunetly thats not what happened. I deleted the file from my mac because dropbox claimed to have had it. I also emptied the trash. I don't know what to do know. Please help? I also don't know how timemachine works but i never had it turned on neither.

First of all do as little as possible with your computer. Stop using it. The document should still be there but the more you use your computer, the greater risk that you will begin overwriting it.
Perhaps the safest option is to take your computer to a specialist Data Recovery Company.  This will cost & could be big bucks.  Worth it if the data is very valuable or precious to you.
Alternatively you could try downloading and using data recovery software yourself.  It may not work but it is a much less costly option.  I'm not an expert on the comparative effectiveness of Data Recovery Software, but watch this You Tube video for an illustration of one such program in action.  (I'm not promoting this, nor am I claiming it to be better or worse than anything else available):

Oh, and if/when you get your data recovered (or even if you don't) get to grips with Time Machine - it is crazy to do important work without a backup!!!

  • Recover deleted document from Oracle content server

    Hi All,
    I've deleted some of documents from oracle content server mistakenly. I am using oracle ucm11g.
    I found that we have a feature called "Trash bin". Trash-bin used for recover the deleted document/folder but unluckily settings for "Trash Bin" is disabled in my UCM folder configuration.
    Is there any other way to recover?
    Please kindly help me on this. It's an urgent production issue, please.
    Thanks for your great support in advance.

    Is there any other way to recover?
    Try to take a look at Repository Manager admin application: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E21764_01/doc.1111/e10978/c03_repository.htm#DAFCGDIE
    If you still can see your items there, you could recover the status.
    If not, I'm afraid your documents are gone from UCM. In that case, you might recover them from a back-up. There is also a chance that documents are still present in the Vault directory, so rather than 'recover', you might 're-submit' them.

  • How to recover deleted documents in the cloud

    I am using the windows phone app. I made sure my files were saved to the cloud at adobe.com I then updated my phone and reset it. After reinstalling the adobe app by files were intact. The next day I opened the app again and it requested I sign in again. Which was odd and once I did all my files with the exception of one were gone. I don't know how this happened. I assume the cloud made an error an synced my phone to the cloud by deleting everything in the cloud except one local file. I need to know how to recover them. What's the point of this feature if my documents are so volatile?

    Can you please ensure that you are viewing the documents in 'Document Cloud' tab and not 'Recent' tab?
    Thanks.

  • Is there anyway to recover deleted documents in Icloud

    I deleted the app on the left side of the pane for all of my text edit documents.
    Is there any way to get them back?

    Will, can you explain a bit more, what exactly you deleted?
    I deleted the app on the left side of the pane for all of my text edit documents.
    Which pane are you referring to?  Are you asking about Documents in the Cloud in Mavericks or iCloud Drive in Yosemite?
    Is your profile signature "MacBook Pro, OS X Mavericks (10.9.2), Upgraded from snow leopard 10.6.8" still current?

  • I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either.  I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too.  is there anyway to recover these documents?

    I accidentally deleted documents from Pages on my iphone - and now they won't show up on my mac anymore either.  I must have saved them just on icloud and not on my mac, too.  is there anyway to recover these documents?

    On a mac, when you save docs to icloud, a local copy is also saved.  It's saved at:
    ~/Library/Mobile Documents
    Note that Library in the user's home folder is now hidden, so you'll have to set Finder to view hidden files.
    The Mobile Documents folder has subfolder where copies of the doc/data files are stored.
    If the file(s) are no longer there, then use your Time Machine backups to get copies back to the mac.

  • Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

    Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

    Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

  • Recover Deleted Offline File in Window's 7

    Documents that were suppose to sync with the server had not synced in months. The filess I am sure were being saved to the offline file cache. The offline file cache was deleted by using microsoft hotfix 50561 (kb230738), reinitalizing the cache and correcting
    the save path. The documents are very important. I researched and found the xp tool for recovering deleted offline files. csccmd.exe by using the command
    csccmd.exe /extract /target:c:\docs /recurse
    Is There a tool like this for windows 7? is there a way to recover the lost files. Previous versions and system restore was not enabled and I have not been able to enable then.

  • Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

    Is it possible to recover deleted files from the Microsoft Word app for iPhone? I am desperate.

    From the Microsoft Word app they say "Access Word documents from OneDrive, Dropbox, iCloud, OneDrive for Business, or SharePoint" so it sounds like you can specify where they are saved. However, my guess would be that the default will be OneDrive.
    To the OP: Have you tried logging into onedrive.live.com to see if you can see your letter there?

  • Deleted documents in Pages

    Hi there, I am using Mavericks and the latest version of Pages with iCloud. I wanted to send in word format my document created in pages on my Mac but sent another open document instead and the other document has completely disappeared. Any idea what happened? I have checked the Trash but it was not there also I could not find it in iCloud.
    It would be very important to recover the document I hope that someone can help me.

    Dear Peter,
    it is Pages 5.1. the thing is that I was in a hurry in the morning and wanted to send the document to my office computer where I use word. Therefore I have not cosed the document in pages but have chosen the sharing option and then sending a copy via e-mail, in word format. anyway i received in my office mailbox another document which was also open, so I probably clicked on the wrong one but when I tried to find the document I did want to send it was not there, also I could not find it in iCloud or on my iPad. That is why I think I might have deleted it but when I tried to find it on my Mac i Finder I could not get it (not even in the trash.
    hanks very much if you have any idea

  • Recovering deleted photos on iPad?

    Hi all -
    My daughter recently attempted to upload images from my iPad Mini (running iOS 7.0.3) to our Dropbox account. However, she deleted the orginal files before they finished uploading, resulting in the loss of hundreds of our photos.
    Unfortunately, I only realised what had occured today - at least a month, possibly two - after she did it. Is there any way that I can access a backup file & restore these lost photos?
    I would greatly appriciate your response and assistance as these photos were taken during a rare family reunion, and are very dear to us.
    Thank you for all your help,

  • My Pages document will no longer show up on my iPad. It shows up on iCloud and i tried to download the document on to my computer. It only gives me an error and tells me to try again. Is there some way I could recover my document?

    The other day I tried to open a document on my Pages app on my iPad. I soon notice I could no longer see it anywhere is my documents. I opened my laptop and went to iCloud.com to search for it there. On iCloud.com I am able to see the document but I can not do anything with it. I tried downloading it to my computer as a pdf. file but it just says error and to try again. I was able to copy the document but it does not allow me to download the copied document either. Is there some way I can recover the document or a pervious version of the document?

    How are you seeing your document on iCloud from your laptop? Web browser, or OS X Pages open dialog?
    If you have MS Word or .pages formatted files parked on iCloud, the web interface will not permit their download as PDF, and in fact, PDF is an inactive option in that download menu for these word processing files. There is no copy facility available, but duplicate functionality exists from the iWork category within the iCloud web presence.
    If you have Pages v4.2 or later installed on your (assumption: Mac) laptop, launch Pages and in the open file dialog, select iCloud on the dialog toolbar. Now, press and hold the option key as you drag and drop a copy of our document from iCloud to your desktop. The reverse works also.
    See if you can open that document on your laptop now.
