Is there a way to retrieve my documents / file?  They appear in the trash...

It is important to avoid the installation or save anything after discovering that you need to recover a file. Every day changes the rate of success, as data are too written by blocks. Recuva should help you recover deleted files.

  • No iCloud drive merger or double documents folder?

    I have two computers that I had of the SugarSync, sync.  In other words, the documents folder on both computers, through SugarSync, is synchronized and identical.  If I go into system preferences > iCloud and click Options to iCloud drive and turn on the desktop and Documents folders, be it synchronize (or fusion) the dossier of documents on two computers or it will publish two documents separate (and then more and more different) folders?  Thank you, in advance!

    I use iCloud Drive to synchronize the office and the three Macs Documents folder.

    Initially, the synchronization to create a folder for the documents of every Mac as subfolders of Documents and office, named 'old Documents - computer name '. Thus, there are essentially three separate folders of documents of each computer. I have to merge them on mine, if I want to.

    In my case, that doesn't matter much, because I started syncing with almost empty Documents and office on three Macs.  Any document that I add after the initial synchronization is now synchronized with the devices.

    In your case, where the records are already synchronized, you could simply remove a set of Documents on one computer, before you start the synchronization.

  • How can I restore my time capsule documents folder?

    I use an iMac OS X El Capitan and support up to a Time Capsule airport running.

    One of our user accounts on the iMac ran into problems w access to the apple of the user ID (could not access iCloud preferences, etc.) before doing a clean reinstall of the OS X software, so I opted to try to remove the problematic user account (another account has no problems) and then configure a new user account. It seems (the jury is still pending on that) have toured and account is running normally.

    My question now is to restore a subset of the records of the time Machine to the specific user. Is it possible and if yes, can you give me instructions on how to do?

    Thanks in advance.

    Migration wizard does not have the granularity you need. It is simply not possible to choose more great lines.

    So, you'll need to do it via the standard recovery... method that looks like you have never used.

    This is the basic method of use Time Machine, you will need to learn how do.

    TM open via icon in the dock. If this isn't in the dock it from applications.

    All you have to do is open TM...

    Go to the date when the user has always existed.

    Now in the finder as the interface.

    Go to the user that you want to restore... I suggest that you actually just take the folder of any user.

    Sorry I can't take screenshots inside the TM... so if this is not clear look at a standard youtube video, of which there are hundreds.

    It's the old version... but it is clear and well spoken.

    https://www.YouTube.com/watch?v=6bcf54aRBPk

    Restore now all the folder to somewhere else... maybe not even on your hard drive, but on a USB key or a convenient place.

    Once the entire restored user to a location, you can then choose say all the documents in the documents folder and copy it directly to the new user that you created, file documents... same thing for music, even for photos etc... the actual application should always be connected libraries... which will make you within itunes or photos, etc..

    Our great master guru on this stuff is Pondini, who died some time ago... and it is a few obsolete versions... but it is always interesting to read.

    About the use of configuration and migrate...

    The restoration is Q14-17 and fairly detailed.

    I made an example using method pondini... just iphoto, but gives a good idea how do...

    If you want to just retrieve the documents folder say... Then, you can use the same method... Simply select the entire folder.

  • After upgrading from Vista created a new documents folder and now ignores the original

    Last week I updated my computer (which I believe has an update of the graphics card and some windows stuff) using Windows update and left while he was closing. I guess what he finished close, but as I was leaving for the weekend, I can't be 100% sure and this weekend my house loses power at least once.

    As for the problem, at windows startup today made first time setup that works normally when you connect to a user account for the first time. Applications of Sidebar by default loading, the default value of the user interface (that I don't use, so it was the first sign), and I found that on the opera opening, all my favorites and settings were gone.

    At the opening of my documents, I found that they were completely empty of content, including all hidden folders where all of my settings the user should be.

    Navigation around the computer, I find that this will C:\Users\USERNAME\ my documents are still intact, but are ignored, with all the shortcuts leading to my documents redirect me to the 'new' documents folder, which means that for all purposes useful all my user settings for all programs that store data in the documents have been reset.

    Maybe someone has an idea of what may have caused this?  Personally, it's one of the strangest bug I've ever seen in any version of windows, and I'm not sure how I should go to deal with it.

    Update:

    To check the path of the 'new' documents folder, it appears as C:\Users\TEMP

    This means at least all of my original documents folder has not been deleted, but I'm trying to support everything up to an external drive where vista decided to replace my old documents folder entirely.

    You can disable hibernation if it is enabled and you do not...

    When you Hibernate your computer, Windows saves the contents of the system memory in the hiberfil.sys file. As a result, the size of the hiberfil.sys file will always be equal to the amount of physical memory in your system. If you don't use the Hibernate feature and want to reclaim the space used by Windows for the hiberfil.sys file, perform the following steps:

    -Start the Control Panel Power Options applet (go to start, settings, Control Panel, and then click Power Options).
    -Select the Hibernate tab, uncheck "Activate the hibernation", and then click OK. Although you might think otherwise, selecting never under "Hibernate" option on the power management tab does not delete the hiberfil.sys file.
    -Windows remove the "Hibernate" option on the power management tab and delete the hiberfil.sys file.

    You can control the amount of space your system restore can use...

    1. Click Start, right click my computer and then click Properties.
    2. click on the System Restore tab.
    3. highlight one of your readers (or C: If you only) and click on the button "settings".
    4 change the percentage of disk space you want to allow... I suggest moving the slider until you have about 1 GB (1024 MB or close to that...)
    5. click on OK. Then click OK again.

    You can control the amount of space used may or may not temporary Internet files...

    Empty the temporary Internet files and reduce the size, that it stores a size between 64 MB and 128 MB...

    -Open a copy of Microsoft Internet Explorer.
    -Select TOOLS - Internet Options.
    -On the general tab in the section 'Temporary Internet files', follow these steps:
    -Click on 'Delete the Cookies' (click OK)
    -Click on "Settings" and change the "amount of disk space to use: ' something between 64 MB and 128 MB. (There may be many more now.)
    -Click OK.
    -Click on 'Delete files', then select "Delete all offline content" (the box), and then click OK. (If you had a LOT, it can take 2 to 10 minutes or more).
    -Once it's done, click OK, close Internet Explorer, open Internet Explorer.

  • Win XP: Remove the 'System' of the 'My Documents' folder attribute

    Win XP: The 'My Documents' folder contains an attribute of the system. Now, I can't save file there. How can I remove the attribute "system"?

    If you look at the security for 'My Documents' tab, you will see that the system has access to the file, but it should not have attribute on the file system.

    Access special permissions and see who is the owner of the folder. It should be yourself. If this isn't the case, you may need to take ownership of the folder to get access.

  • Deliver the profile of the user - My Documents folder moved to C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP. I can't view or access this folder to copy My Documents back. Help?

    XP Home SP3 on my laptop (no not in network - independent).

    After an Adobe Reader 10 X installed, there is a reboot, and when I logged in the profile that appeared was not mine - it was as if it was a new installation. I looked for my personal documents under My Documents and did not find them. So, I looked for them on the C: drive, found (no not noted where), and copied My Documents to what seemed like the name /my Documents /. After that, I could access my documents by clicking Start-My Documents online. I did another reboot. Now, after login, my old profile is displayed, and the My Documents folder is empty except for the value by default my pictures, my music, my videos, and favorite - and these are all basically empty.

    I then ran a program Search and Recover to find my documents - they were found under C:\Documents and Settings\TEMP\. Unfortunately, I can't seem to see that to explore (I have it configured to display the hidden files and folders). Is it possible to go to this folder and the moving my Documents back to my profile?

    Hello

    a. refer to the article below for the procedure safe mode in Windows XP
    A description of the options to start in Windows XP Mode
    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/315222

    b. it is a possibility that there is a startup program that is launched with a command line and it appears.
    You need to perform a clean boot to find the program that is causing and then disable or remove.

    Method 2:

    System Restore takes a "snapshot" of critical system files and some program files and the registry settings and stores this information as restore points. If your computer is not working properly, you can use these points to return Windows XP to a previous state when your computer was working properly restore. It can also change scripts, batch files, and other types of executable files on your computer.

  • can I set up a password for my entire My Documents folder?

    My Documents folder is visible at all. Can I set up a password before I can open my documents?

    My Documents folder is visible at all. Can I set up a password before I can open my documents?

    If your hard drive is formatted with NTFS (my computer > right click on disk Local (c) > properties), then you can use NTFS permissions.

    You can - and should - set a password to access your XP user profile.  Click Start > Control Panel > user accounts (you may need to double click on user accounts).  Select your account and click on "Create a password." If you have a floppy drive, you can also create a password reset disk. Otherwise, write down your password and keep it somewhere safe.

    Are there other people who use your computer?  Each person should have their own user account.  By default, user accounts that are not "computer administrator" accounts cannot see the files in my documents to other user accounts.

    You can also restrict access to your files, even from "computer administrator" accounts (although someone who is a "computer administrator" and knows the NTFS permissions can find ways around these restrictions).  See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304040
