OS X :: Accidentally Deleted Preview - Need It Back
Aug 13, 2008
Relatively new to Mac. Accidentally deleted Preview from my Macbook Pro. Sorta a bummer in terms of viewing PDFs and other image files. Have searched Apple.com but haven't been able to find a place to download the program and reinstall.
is there anyway of getting it back? is it in the Mac OS X install DVD? if it is, will it format my hard drive, my apps or anything? im kinda scared to pop it in...
I didn't realize that deleting the shortcut for Photo Booth (while trying to clear my desktop) would delete the application. Does anyone know how or if I can get it back?
I must have deleted Preview from my macbook because I cannot find it in spotlight or anywhere! My macbook came with tiger, so I tried to get it from those disks with no luck, then tried the leopard upgrade disc, with no luck. How can I get preview (leopard version) back?
How can I restore applications like Chess. I inserted the Macbook Pro Applications Install CD but there were only Garage Band and an another application.
I don't use a graphics tablet, so I don't need the functionality, but all the same it bothers me when I do something like this. Any way to make Ink work again short of reinstalling OS X?
I am a bit desperate because I accidentally deleted all my phone contacts using iSync. Previous to the sync I had my contacts in my mac address book, but I deleted them to make a fresh list from my phone. Therefore my address book was empty when I did the sync. I thought that the contacts from the phone would be copied to the computer. But instead, when I did the sync all the contacts from the phone were deleted! I did a search in google and found that the version of Address Book under Tiger kept a file called ddressBook.data.previous that contained your contacts before the last change. But I cannot find that file in Leopard. Does anyone have an idea of where that file is? Or does anyone have a suggestion about how to recover my phone numbers?
I was trying to add my home folder to my dock from dragging it from the finder sidebar to the dock, but it wasnt draggable. It did drag, but it wouldnt stay in the dock, when I let go of the drag, it vanished in a puff of smoke. How do I get it back in the sidebar, it was pretty helpful over there. Just to be clear I'm talking about when I open a new finder window, I see a few folders under 'Places' --> Desktop, Applications, Documents and My name which is the home folder. Now all I see is Desktop, Applications, and documents. How do I get it back if possible, and when I do how do I put it on the dock? Next to apps and downloads folder? Nevermind I found out how to add it. CMD+, for finder prefs, and then sidebar. I still have no idea how to put the home folder on the dock now.
I accidently deleted all of my inbox emails (nearly 200). I thought I clicked on "sent", deleted them, and then emptied the "deleted" folder. But, I deleted the entire contents of "inbox" and then emptied the "Deleted" folder. Am I sol or can I retrieve them?
I accidently deleted Stuffit Expander from OS9.0.4, and I don't have the install disc, and I can't install stuffit expander or update anything It's all in a .hqx file etc, and only Stuffit can open them, can someone give me a copy of a ver. that will work with OS9.0.4 in .sea format
While setting up Mail and adding accounts, I saw that my [URL] account wasn't working for some reason, and I don't use it for email, so I deleted it. Thing is, now I can't log in to iChat
Today I accidently moved a project I'd been working on from my flash drive to my desktop, I already had a folder of the same name on my desktop and when I merged it, it overwrote the old file and my project is totally gone. Is there any way of undoing this or recovering my work.
I accidentally deleted the applications folder under my user directory. I made a duplicate from the hard drive directory and put it under user, but when I add new applications to one, it does not show up in the other like it used to. I guess I had a wrong idea of what duplicate does.
i just got my macbook about a month ago and today i tried to do some customizing things with icons and i found the "trash empty" icon and accidentally deleted it and emptied the trash... so i only have the "trash full icon" and i cant find the "trash empty" icon
I accidentally deleted an Apple generated Genius mix. Is there any way to get it back ? To be clear,this is not a list I created by clicking on the genius icon.
