Recover deleted or lost documents and photos

I moved documents and photos to my La Cie back up drive. I thought I merely copied, but actually moved. I reformated my back up drive. Will recovery software be able to recover either from my hard drive or the back up drive?

Not sure if Mountain Lion offers more than my Snow Leopard. Forgive me for being wise after the event, (I've made the error myself) but it does pay to have more than one back up. A complete bootable clone which you top up every three months or so plus Time Machine.
I'm not solving your problem, I know, but mentioned with good will.
Good luck

When I try to delete my account from my iPod it says "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" Will I lose my pictures on my iPod?

I changed my email on my computer for my itunes and icloud. It made me manually change it on my ipod even after I synced. It won't change my email for my icloud and I have to delete it manually. "If you delete your account, all documents and Photo Stream photos stored in Icloud will be deleted from this iPod touch" comes up. Will I lose all my data stored on my iPod?

You will only lose your iCloud data, That includes iCloud backup, iCloud Contacts and Calendar, Reminders, Notes, everything listed in Settings>iCloud

Why can't I attach documents and photos to my outgoing emails in Windows live hotmail

Ever since the new version of Windows live hotmail has been downloaded on my computer, the only way I can attach documents and photos to outgoing emails is thru Internet explorer without any add ons and even this was not easy. I used to be able to attach with no problems and now I cannot and I really need to be able to do this. I send alot of emails with attachments. Every time I try to attach a document it gives me an error message. It just says error nothing else. Please help!!!!

Hi
Pages saves its files as a small package, not a single file. You will have to compress it first (think it's called Create Archive but can't be sure). You could do File>Export & choose .doc which would save it as a Word document & then attach it to the email (some formatting may be lost).

Hi Louis
It is possible, you just need one of those programs - search google, names like irip etc.
Once you have the program it will bring everything up again in your itunes program, I found even deleted songs that were brought back. Fantastic feature...
Don't let anyone say you can't! it is possible, just something your not suppose to do with apple.

Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

Is there a way of opening up old PSD documents and photos on the iMac please?

.psd (photoshop) files should open in preview to view them and make some simple adjustments.
If you want to edit them but don't want the expense of buying Photoshop (or Elements) for your Mac, consider downloading Gimp - it's free.

Document and photo transfer

How do I transfer Windows documents and photos from an external hard drive to the proper corresponding folders and locations on my iMac?

Sorry, I had a typo in that sentence - I meant "on the left" (ie, the window which has your external hard drive displayed), and then I mentioned the keyboard shortcut "cmd-A".
There are lots of keyboard shortcuts which will come in useful for you. You've probably used similar shortcuts on the PC - on the Mac, we tend to use the command key ("cmd") which is immediately to the left or the right of the spacebar (both keys do the same thing; use whichever one you prefer). (In Windows, the "ctrl" key is used to do the same things.)
So, "cmd-A" means hold down the command key, and while you're holding it down, click the A key. This will select everything in the current Finder window - so, if you have a folder of files open, clicking cmd-A will select all the files.
Once it's all selected, click the mouse down anywhere in the blue selected area, and drag into the second Finder window.
You can use the Edit - Select All menu if you prefer, but keyboard shortcuts are usually more efficient.

HT1175 How do I get Time Machine to backup Documents and Photos?

My backups do not include photos and my documents folder. How can I get them included in the backup?

Time Machine will backup everything on the Mac unless you specifically Exclude the files from being backed up. If the Documents and Photos folder are not being backed up, then someone placed them on a list of items to be Excluded from backups.
These folders will appear in the list of Excluded items.
Click the Time Machine "clock" icon at the top of the Mac's screen
Click Time Machine Preferences
Click Options
Click on the Documents folder to highlight it, then click the - (minus) button at the bottom of the list to remove the Documents folder from Excluded items.
Time Machine will now back up the Documents folder on the next pass.
Do the same for the Photo folder and it wil be backed up on the next pass as well.

Storing certain documents and photos

Can I store certain documents and photos in my iCloud without everyting going in there?

PhotoStream shunts pictures taken on one device onto all the others but they are removed from iCloud after 30 days. Shared PhotoStreams will be held on iCloud so you could use that, it's about the nearest thing:
http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm218e61076c
Documents created in iWork or TextEdit go to iCloud by default for syncing to other devices, so they are stored there, but other types of documents are not.
Backup backs up your iOS device, so that would include photos on it at the time, but you can only access them by doing a full restore.
If you want straightforward online storage where you can just access the files you will have to find a third-party solution. This page examines some options, some with a free starting level:

At the AT&T store. Tried using iCloud but only 120 songs were transferred and when I access my iTunes account now it only shows 120 and not the 450 anymore that I purchased on my old phone. Tried to sync again from the phone to iTunes and it still not working.
I purchased everything under the same apple ID account I called apple support and spent almost 2 hours with tech support for assistance and we got disconected and they never called me back.
I'm at the point where I'm about to never purchase anything anymore from apple go to another company retrieve every single charge made on my bank account from iTunes and file a law suit against the company. It's being a week that I called for assistance and no one called me back to help me with this matter even after I responded a survey with a complaint about not getting a resolution to my problem.
If you could please help me I will appreciate, I'm out of the country now and can't stay on the phone for a long time.
I need to sell my old phone but as right now besides all my bank statements the old phone is the only evidence that I purchased the songs.

Lost contacts and photos during a backup. Can I retrieve them without a new backup?

I plugged in my husband's phone to add music and it made me update iTunes before doing so. I did and it restored my husband's phone to an old backup from a while ago. He lost all his new contacts and photos, which include our daughter's birth that was this week. I'm so mad right now. Is there any way to recover these without a current backup?

If you had an IMAP mail account then all your emails are stored on the server, so install Thunderbird and create the IMAP mail account to see folders and emails on the server.
If you had a POP mail account then all of your emails were stored on the computer and you should have been creating regular backups of your Profile folder or at least created a backup of your Profile (and any other documents / images etc on your computer ) before wiping the computer/reformatting and reinstalling OS. So you can use the backup to reinstall the Profile. If you used MozBackup tool to create the *.psv file, then reinstall MozBacktool and use it to restore the Profile.
* Backup: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_backup
If you did not create a backup of the Profile, but backed up/saved emails as .eml files saved to an external device, then you could use this addon to put those .eml files back into the new Profile.

Mail deleted account lost inbox and sent mail

I was editing an account with on IT(not a MAC user) person yesterday to check my work mail from a diferent server. In the process my old work account got deleted so I lost all of my incoming and sent mail from the account that was deleted.
After that happened I started reading info on mail accounts and it says that will happen.
The question is is there any way to recover those email? I purchased Prosoft data recovery II today and have been looking thru recovered files but can not find what I am looking for.

Since you’ve already read other threads on this subject, I’ll spare you the details.
If the messages are not on the server, and you don’t have a backup, your only option in the case of Mail 2.x is to try to salvage as many deleted *.emlx files as possible with a data recovery tool such as Data Rescue II, TechTool Pro, or FileSalvage (the files to be recovered would be different in the case of Mail 1.x). Of these, the only one I know for sure that can recover deleted *.emlx files is FileSalvage.
