I deleted my admin user acct last night and i would like to pull certain things from it, how do i recover my old acct??
yes i created another user acctHello and welcome.
A few questions:
-Did you create another admin account?
-Did you have it totally delete the account including the user folder, or did you retain the user folder?
-Do you have a Time Machine or other backup?

I ran a program last night (b4 i knew i had to subscribe to finalize the results) and i saw all of my iTunes files on the hard drive while the program was running the scan so i know its still there but have no idea how to get it out!!!Unfortunately, if you deleted that user account and have no backup, you're out of luck. You might be able to recover some of the data using a deep run of a disk recovery app, but if you have been using the computer and adding/changing files since you deleted that account, some/all of that data has been overwritten anyway.
On a side note, your name sounds very familiar to me...do we know each other from somewhere else?

they were not purchases just my library so its all good i will just re download all my music since it doesn't cost me anything anyway..Yea i was in cali around that time but anyway thx for all the info I'm going to get to work. have a great day!!-What software were you using?
-Is it mainly iTunes files you are looking to recover? You can re-download all purchases from the iTunes Store for free.
I lived in Sarasota for about 5 years in the late '80s/early '90s. Maybe we do know each other - we can explore that via private messaging if you want.
