How to restore files that have been ransacked and then emptied trash?

My brother accidentally trashed a folder he need, then empty the trash.  The folder contains mostly or entirely Word docs.

Here's what the computer is currently in mode 'sleep' and I don't want to do anything until I have a plan in place

Serial ID indicates the computer that I work with is as follows:

Intro. October 22, 2013 Disc. July 29, 2014
Order ME864LL / A *. Model A1502 (EMC 2678)
Family Retina end 2013 13 " ID MacBookPro11, 1
RAM 4 GO, 8 GB VRAM 1.5 GB *.
Storage 128 GB, 256 GB SSD Optics None *.
All MacBook Pro "Core i5" 2.4 plug 13 '' end 2013

As far as I know that sounds right.  I do not want to open the computer and turn it on before you know what I do to minimize the loss.

Can someone tell me which software is best to use and anything else that I might need to know? The data is quite important.  We have a second mac, a Flash DRIVE and an external hard drive.

It has already found: http://www.easeus.com/mac/mac-undelete-free/ is good?

I think that the computer executes Yosemite and was not yet upgraded to El Capitan.  Not sure if it would make a difference anyway.

Thank you.

Try to use a waste product of data, such as those listed here. Do not write on the disc until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them. For best results, close it, connect your two Macs via FireWire/Thunderbolt and start the MacBook Pro with the key T.

If utilities do not work, you can contact a professional data recovery service, but these can charge hundreds or thousands of dollars.

  • How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?

    How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '? Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom. I started to remove some files and it removed ALL of them! I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline. I tried to 'find' a different folder and it deleted the folder all together and now I don't know where he is. Help, please!

    How to restore pictures that have been deleted from Lightroom, but not removed from the 'drive '?

    You need a backup of your Lightroom catalog file before deleting the photos made. You have such a backup? If so, find the backup catalog, open it (double click on it) and then search for the photos you want and select them and then file-> export catalogue; Then go to your original catalog file, open it and select file-> import from another catalog and points to the catalog that you just exported.

    If you do not have a backup of your catalog file, then the only thing you can do is to import the photos again, and Lightroom will treat them as totally new photos with no editing and no metadata provided by the user.

    Moreover, the idea of importing photos into Lightroom and then later removing them to Lightroom should is limited to photos you will EVER want such a photos that are so overexposed or underexposed or blurred that they are essentially useless. The photos that you care enough to run a task on (including editing) should never be removed from Lightroom.

    Also, how can I restore photos after saving Lightroom.

    Is this the same problem as above, or another?

    I chose the option "cancel delete files" and them brought back, she says they are all "missing or offline.

    Is it possible that you actually deleted pictures from the hard disk, as well as from Lightroom? Anyway, Lightroom cannot find the photos and you first need to find photos on your hard drives and then direct Lightroom to the location of the photo on your hard drive, using these instructions Adobe Lightroom - find folders and files moved or missing

    Hi Apmech9,

    1. don't you restore the computer to factory settings?
    2. do you just restore the computer to an earlier time by using the system restore feature in Windows XP?

    If you restore the computer to its factory settings, you will then get in touch with the manufacturer of the system for more support options.

    If you had just restored the computer to an earlier time using System Restore, you can undo the system restore to revert back the changes.

    How to access the tab 'Save all' when I close several jpeg files that have been adjusted with the "color adjust tool? He is currently making me close and save one at a time.  I've just upgraded to El Capitan.  Thanks for any help :)

    I assume that you use the application overview.

    I can't find an answer to back up everything, but a workaround could be while the file menu options are visible, press the option key

    and the point of the window will become close, if you click on that dialogue will ask you if you want to restore the changes or save

    pressing Save will close the image with the changes and then move to the next image and so on.

  • Can I restore my laptop hard drive files that have been moved to my external hard drive (who subsequentally has stopped working)?

    I cut and pasted and then a few important files from my laptop on an external hard drive. Since the external hard drive stopped working. Is it possible to find the files that have been moved?

    Thank you!

    (More info: I tried to recover the files from external hard disk but it requires a physical recovery and would cost over $ 1000, which I did not; also unfortunately I don't think I created backup via the "backup and Restore Center" files in the control panel).

    It depends on how long you have moved the files, and how the computer has been used since.

    If you have Vista Business, Ultimate or enterprise, you can use the previous versions.

    1. Question

    When I opened the window "save the Page under", the drop-down box file name indicates the files that have been saved a long time ago. It is not cleared by a function 'clear history' that I can find. How can I erase this?

    Hello.

    I think this is a related issue of Windows, because it is the Manager to save the windows file that we are talking about here (right?). You should contact Microsoft for help with this one, I think. You expect to be able to delete entries simply by touching delete on your keyboard when they are concentrated (that is how it goes for the removal of the form entries specific autocomplete in Firefox), but I have not tried.

    I'm sorry I can't be more helpful.

  • Why I can't move or delete files that have been used by Windows Movie Maker?

    Why I can't move or delete files that have been used by Windows Movie Maker? How to make them free again, now that I want to use the new computer.

    When you create a project in Movie Maker-.mswmm file... it
    records the path to the source (photos, videos, music) files...
    If you re-open the file .mswmm to re - edit source files...
    are not accessible if they have been moved or deleted.

    If "no" re - edit project .mswmm files...
    moving or deleting the source files is not a problem.

    If you 'are' the intention of re - edit .mswmm files but need the
    source files also... just make copies and let it
    original where they are.
