Recover files after they have been emptied from trash

General File Recovery
If you stop using the drive it's possible to recover deleted files that have not been overwritten by using recovery software such as Data Rescue II, File Salvage or TechTool Pro.  Each of the preceding come on bootable CDs to enable usage without risk of writing more data to the hard drive.  Two free alternatives are Disk Drill and TestDisk.  Look for them and demos at MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
The longer the hard drive remains in use and data are written to it, the greater the risk your deleted files will be overwritten.

  • HT4528 How do I recover pictures after they have been deleted from iPhone 5???

    These are pictures that have been deleted the same day that they were taken!!!!  And I didn't have a chance to back them up on iTunes or the iCloud.

    You can solve this problem by this method.
    You may need a third party easy iPhone pictures recovery tool to recover your pictures.
    http://easy-iphone-recovery.blogspot.com/iphone-recovery-resource.html
    This tool can help you to recover the lost pictures directly from your iPhone. Please have a try.
    If it works, try to pay for it to get the full recovery feature.

  • Preview: double-click doesn't open files AFTER they have been modified

    Since a few weeks (maybe since I upgraded to OS 10.6.6 ?) Preview doesn't open files any more by double-clicking AFTER I have modified and saved them. They open when I drag them to the dock icon of Preview.
    For instance, photos downloaded from a camera open by double-clicking them. However, if I rotate or crop them and then save, Preview doesn't open them any more but shows two subsequent error messages: (1) "The application can't be found", (2) "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)".
    I found one workaround: when you close and reopen the folder in which these files are, they open again by double-clicking.
    Quicklook works fine.
    Looks like a bug in OS 10.6.6. Any other fixes?

    In the Finder, select one of the image files you want to open with Preview. Choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu or the File menu. In the "Open with" section, choose Preview from the pulldown menu if it's not already selected. If it is selected, choose another application (any other), then re-select Preview. Click the "Change All" button and close the dialog.

  • How do I keep my emails in Apple mail after they have been downloaded from exchange server

    Hi
    I have an urgent issue with my work email. I have used Apple Mail to read and store my work email right off my work Exchange server - without any problem.
    All was fine, and for what seems a very long time, I happily used both my win 7 laptop at work and my 2 Apple computers at home and during travel as well as my iPhone - anywhere.
    However, now, there is a new policy at work where all email older than 3 months (sigh!!) has been removed to an "online archive" of the "emc SourceOne" - which is a non-crossplattform service - and not accessible from other than a windows PC with supported browser (not including SafarI). (Windows revenge) I have lost all access to these on my iPhone, which is a shame - not Apples fault, though. This is  not about blaming Apple.
    However, I still have all my "older than 3 months" email in theory safely kept on both of my Apple computers - presumably safely stored in Apple Mail.
    Here is my question: I have not dared to connect either of these imacs / mbas to Internet - at all - in fear of losing my precoius work emails. I have feared that the exchange server will kill all these "older than 3 months" email kept there - as soon as it gets a chance to do so.
    So I urgently need an educated advise. Googling any kind of "apple" questions seems to be far less productive now than a few years ago...
    1. Can I safely connect Apple Mail to internet without losing my already downloaded exchange emails?
    2. If not - how should I proeceed to get these files safely transferred to my iCloud email?
    Any and all help will be deeply appreciated!
    Best regards, from a chilly evening in Oslo, Norway

    When you connect your Mac back up to the Exchange server, it will “sync” what is on the server to your Mac, losing all those older emails. Don’t reconnect until you have moved them.
    To move them, Drag them from the Exchange folders on Mail and into an iCloud folder. The emails will then be stored on iCloud instead of on the exchange server.
    You could also just create mailboxes on your Mac and drag them into that. They wouldn’t be accessible to other devices, but you’d have them on your Mac.
    To create new Mailboxes, Click the Add ( + ) button at the bottom of the Mailbox list and choose New Mailbox…
    You can choose where that folder is stored, either under On My Mac for a local mailbox, or in your iCloud account which will make a folder on the iCloud server.
    In the future, you need to start moving your emails to those independent mailboxes as you file them, and set up a rule that will move anything older than 50 days into a “catch-all” Mailbox you create on that same location (either On My Mac or iCloud). Mail Preferences, Rules.

  • Is there a way to recover messages after they've been moved from local folders to an IMAP account, which deleted them after they were moved?

    I was trying to get Thunderbird to access my Hotmail account through IMAP instead of POP, so I moved all my messages from the account to "Local Folders", then I removed the POP account and created the new IMAP one. After that I started to move messages into the IMAP account, but I ran into some trouble when the server wouldn't want to accept all the messages I was uploading and it would stop.
    So, I decided to move everything from "Local Folders" into the IMAP account while Thunderbird was offline, once it finished, I went online and instead of uploading the newly found messages in my IMAP account to the server, it decided to delete the messages. I guess because the actual online account contained no files so it wanted to synchronise and make my offline folder to also contain no files.
    In short, never try this. It's a disaster. And, I know I should've made a back up prior to trying this, it's just that Thunderbird is usually very reliable, it never occurred to me.
    I still have the MBOX and MSF files, but even though they contain information, no extension can extract it.
    Could anyone, please, help me out?

    Hi,
    I had tried using that very same extension right after messing things up, but it hadn't worked because I deleted the original folders as well.
    Then I tried doing a System Restore (luckily, Windows had decided to do an automatic one the night before), but still the missing emails weren't showing.
    A while after that I saw your suggestion and it hit me that I had not tried it after doing the System Restore, so I tried it and all messages were flooding back just like magic.
    Thank you very much for your help! I'm very happy right now.

  • Some emails keep reapearing after they have been deleated from the inbox, as many as 5 times.

    After deleting from the inbox some emails reappear in the inbox in 1 to 3 hours. When I look in the trash they are in there multiple times with the same received time. It seems to always be my Hotmail account.

    Reappearing emails can mean that the folder maybe corrupted.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Reappearing_messages
    ''If you don't compact your folders regularly, performance can slow to a crawl, you can't store new messages anymore, start losing parts of messages or have deleted messages resurrected.''
    Move all good emails out of the Inbox into other suitable folders for organising. If the Inbox is corrupted, it may not be possible for TB to work out where the end of a 'marked as deleted' email actually ends, so you may lose good emails, hence why I say move them first.
    right click on 'Inbox' and select 'Compact'.
    This will remove all traces of marked as deleted emails.
    Read info on compacting, what it does and why it is important.

  • Is it OK to delete your downloaded program files after they have been installed?

    I have several years worth of downloaded program as well as other files that have already been installed and, I would like to delete them to make more space available on my HD.  Is it OK to delete these files?  
    Thanks in advance for any help with this issue.

    I used to keep the installers of most everything until - a very long time later - I finally realized that by the time I may need it again, it was outdated and I needed to download or pay for a newer version because the old one was no longer compatible with my current OS. So, I've changed it a bit and now only keep installers for which no new installers/versions are available, or if I think I may want to revert to an earlier version. The remainder now wind up in the trash immediately after the install.
    Not that it matters at all, but your profile says MBP, but you said a Mac Pro (two very different machines). But, as I said, in the context of your question, it does not matter at all.

  • How to remove apps from iTunes after they have been removed from iPod Touch

    If I remove an app from my iPod Touch, they still exist in iTunes. After a while, they can add up and take up lots of space on my computer. What's the easiest way to remove ALL apps that no longer exist on my iPod Touch but are still in iTunes? I currently just manually go through the list to delete them from iTunes, which seems to work, but is there a better, more efficient way?

    Anna,
    Your suggestion of using the Control key does not work on a Mac.
    On a Mac, one can:
    1. Use your Command-(Apple) key to select items that are not in consecutive order. It's appropriately called a "non-consecutive select".
    2. Use your Shift key to select consecutive items.
    3. Or use your mouse to perform what's called a "lasso" select. Click your mouse/clicker down while dragging over the items you'd like to select, and then drag them to the trash.

  • Can I keep photos on my iTouch even after they've been deleted from my Mac?

    I sync photos onto my iTouch, but due to limited space on my MacBook I periodically backup then delete all the photos on my Mac. What then happens is that next time I sync my iTouch all the photos that were on my iTouch disappear.
    If I uncheck the "sync photos" checkbox, it then deletes all the photos on the iTouch.
    I want to be able to put photos on the iTouch and leave them there, and later add new ones. Is this possible?
    Is there anyway to keep the old photos on the iTouch even though they've been deleted from my Mac?

    No.  The only way to retain them on the iPod after they have been deleted from the computer is to not sync.  YOu also can;t add new one .

  • Recovering files that have been emptied from the trash

    Is ther any way to recover files that you have sent to the trash, which you have subsequently emptied? Third party software? I accidentally trashed my entire iphoto library.
    B&W G3   Mac OS X (10.2.x)  

    If your photo library is on your startup volume, and if you've continued to use the startup volume since deleting the files, then your chances of recovery may be very small. Once files are deleted the operating system may use the space occupied by the deleted files when it writes new data to the drive. The more new data written to the drive the greater the probability that your old files will be overwritten. Once overwritten they cannot be recovered.
    If you hope to maximize recovery then you need to immediately shut the computer off or boot from a different drive and stop using the drive on which the deleted files are located.

  • HT201077 Is there a way to delete files locally, on iPad, after they have been backed up in iCloud, without losing any files?

    Is there a way to delete files locally, on iPad, after they have been backed up in iCloud, without losing any files? Because iCloud is seeming like it actually doesn't back up anything.. Just clogs up all storage space on every device with duplicate images/videos. I am looking for a delete when backed up feature. Does that exist?

  • Rotated pictures come out blank after they have been exported.

    Pictures scanned from Epson 700 photoscanner to i Photo looks fine in iPhoto. No problem editing in IPhoto, but the rotated pictures came out blank after they have been exported. The original picture is exported okay. I have tried all the repair options in iPhoto to no success.
    Any suggestion how to fix the blank pictures or do I have to scann them all again?

    Still I have to scan every picture again
    No you don't. You can change the colour profile to sRGB with a script. Search this forum. Old Toad has one that he created and you can download it.
