Recovery Of Multi Items From Trash

[nice sax]

Virgin have recently notified of an update to the homepage on our MAC computer and issued instructions on the procedures to follow to make virgin our homepage. Whilst the computer was being updated it shut down completely and we had to re-boot the system. We are still attempting to carry out their instructions but notice today that all of our photos, documents,music etc have ended up in TRASH.

I know we can recover by selecting an item and then right clicking and select "PUT BACK" but would like to know if there is a way of recovering everything back to its original place in one movement.

Any help will be appreciated

Can you not select them all and issue the command? I'm out of my depth with Macs.

Hi nice sax. You will find most answers to a Mac question here. You don't need to log in.

I don't use a Mac but this suggests that highlighting (say) all your photos, and then copying and pasting them back to the folder where you want them to be, will do the trick:

If you don't know how to select multiple files (prior to copying them), see here:
