Intel Mac :: Accidentally Trashed A Valuable Document?
Apr 25, 2012
I accidentally trashed a valuable document. I have not rebooted my computer. Is that trashed document sitting somewhere in memory that I can access it?
One night when I was overly tired, I accidentally placed my second hard drive in the trash and emptied the trash in my old G4 Sawtooth (ignored warnings, etc.). This machine is not backed up because I only use it for practice. I don't need to retrieve the data on the hard drive, but I would like to re-format it and use SuperDuper to copy the start-up disk to what would now be a new second hard drive. I can't see the "lost" hard drive. Can anyone tell me what I need to do to locate the second hard drive to make it appear in "About this Mac" and on the desktop ? Do I need to physically remove it and re-install it in the case?
I can't seem to find the incredibly valuable "bounce email" feature in Mail any more. Its is such a great tool for stopping spam. It used to be available as an icon you could pull onto the toolbar, but its not there anymore. Is it gone or just moved someplace else.If its gone, Apple, please bring it back.
I am trying to retrieve all my music because they dont appear in itunes anymore. I accidentally deleted all files from trash and now most files appear on my desktop.
The CD slot is so close to the memory card slot, and I usually find them by feel as they are on the far side of the computer. I have to actualy stand up to peer around the side of my screen. While trrying to retrieve the card, I heard something drop, presumably it has droped inside somewhere.
I accidentally moved MS office 2011 to trash and cannot get it back... "put back" option is not in bold. Have read many threads to drag it to desktop, applications etc but am afraid to do this. should I just re-install the program as I have the disk? but my main concern: if I reinstall, will I lose existing files of Word, Excel, PP? I see them now converted to I-Works, will they remain? BTW - I have not backed up on time machine in over 2 months!
I read somewhere that deleting the content from those folders would speed up your Mac, which I believed until I did so...I emptied my trash, and everything was running smoothly for a few minutes...now my mac is EXTREMELY slow, it take FOREVER to open Applications and Documents, the volume keys are messed up and don't even work, I click it and 10 minutes later it responds...and everything is messed up! I thought if I gave it time, it will go back to normal, but no, it's been 4 days and nothing!Â
I don't have Time Machine set, nor do I have OS X Snow Leopard disk. Is there a way to solve this problem without buying a new disk? My parents lost the old disk, and we aren't financially comfortable right now..
While I was creating a multiple .rar file I accidentally shut down the power, after restarting the imac it won't respond and the only thing I can do is move the mouse cursor, but nothing reacts.
i have an imac and have accidentally inserted an sd card into the cdrom drive located on the side of the screen, one above the other. how can i get it out as it seems to have disappeared?
My office does have a time machine backup system, but I'm pretty sure it only backs up our individual hard drives.This file was only saved to the office Shared server.The weirdest part is that all there is in the trash is a bunch of .ipa files from my last iPhone update.But I didn't delete those.so why are THEY in the trash to begin with, but not the files that were actually deleted?I've been having tons of issues with other stuff since we upgraded to Lion.I've absolutely got to get that file back..
Well I've gone and done it now, moved some old photos from iPhoto to trash I though I did not want any more, and now my sister wants me to send her some of the photos I've gone and trashed (still in the Trash bin not deleted) the photos are mixed up in the trash bin with some other photos I really do not need again, but putting the individual photos back to iPhoto I now want to keep , will take me ages to do. Is there any way I can return just the recently trashed photos quickly to their original place in a quick way ?
how to embed an image with a link, or embed a Microsoft Word document with a hyperlink built within the document -- not as an attachment into my email -- but where it shows as the email content when opened! Does ANYONE know the secret? Can it be done, or not? My PC clients do it all the time easily. Then I want to be able to send the embedded image/document (not as an attachment, but visable within the email when opened) to many email contacts at once, BUT the individuals receiving them DO NOT SEE the other email contacts.
I was looking to download ichat again, but my mac is 10.4.6, so I cant download the new ichat av 2.1. I want you to find a place for me to download ichat again that can be run in 10.4.6.
just wondering if anyone knows how to stop attachments in the email i am sending from appearing in the body of my email as the full sized document.i am hoping to find an option that will allow me to only have a document icon with the name of the document.
I plugged in a new external HDD, and clicked "Don't use" by mistake, and now I have no clue how to be able to use it, as it doesn't show up in Disk Utility or finder. This is on my iMac, in case you couldn't figure that out. It works fine on my Windows computer though.
I have the latest adobe reader installed . I went to look at my property tax assessment file . I entered my assessment # and pin # and got report . It downloaded as a pdf.html file . When I tried to open the report all i got was a page of garbage numbers letters symbols . The tax site said I needed safari and adobe reader to be able to view the report . Anyone have any ideas why it does not format in a readable page . My daughter has an apple with snow leopard and she gets the same result for her report this is some of what i see Â
How do I save an existing document with a new file name thereby having two documents the old one and the new one with changes? Once a document has been saved once opening File no longer offers the save or Save as choice. Clicking on Save a version does not work either.
My document folder is no longer on my dock. I don't know how it got lost. I went to finder and tried to drag the folder to my dock numerous times, but it won't go there!
I just ran the setup assistant on a new iMac, but wasn't able to access my wireless networkto send the registtration information. It said that it could be send at a later date, but now I cant locate the file to send.
Guidance on scanning a dosument and then saving it in a new folder with a new filename. The equipment in question is an iMac Desktop and an Epson Stylus NX 430.
