A lot of work lost by electricity cut-off - URGENT

Hello
I was working simultaously on two complex documents. After typing for one hour the electricity went off and of course nothing was saved !
Is there a way to recover my work ? Temporary files or anything that could help ?
Thank you for your help, if I cannot get my work back I am in deep trouble.

I think there's no way to recover the documents if you haven't saved anything before (RAM is volatile memory, this means everything's lost when the power is switched off…).
Same thing happened to me a few months ago. This is why I started developing EverSave which is now available and distributed for free. It automatically saves all of your documents.

I hope this helps in future.

MPEG2-DVD / Sound cut off *urgent*

Hi everyone
I have a very urgent problem which makes me lose my hair...
We have 190 minutes of 1920x1080 25p footage which we edited in Premiere Pro.
I then proceed to export the files into MPEG2-DVD using 2-pass VBR with 1,65/4,2/6.25 bitrate (according to an online bitrate calculator).
I multiplex the sound into the MPEG-2 file.
When I import the timeline into Encore, it correctly tells me "do not transcode".
BUT the sound cuts off short of the video. It does it for every chapter. I cannot 'extend' or 'pull' the sound to the length of the video.
First chapter is 24:19, sound cuts off at 23:15.
Anyone got an ìdea what I am doing wrong?
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Michael

I'm in complete agreement with Jeff here as well - selling PAL discs in the US will sooner or later cause problems.
Priobably sooner.
In the old days you would not get the player to even load them - it would throw a "no disc" or another error of some description - and even when you did find the odd rare one that would load them, the TV systems would make sure you got a garbled image, or a B&W one. These days a good Universal Player will usually load all types (although again a regular DVD player will most likey still not go for it) but you will still have TV system issues.
The problem is the mains frequency - PAL (Europe) uses 625 lines and 50Hz whereas NTSC uses 525/60, which effectively means PAL runs at 25 frames/second & NTSC at 30 frames/second. The 2 are incompatible. Most PAL players can handle both formats either by outputting NTSC discs as PAL-60 or even genuine "on the fly" conversions to 525/60 NTSC. The process is not straightforward either - the player is handling scaling, temporal conversion and object motion analysis all at once (Hence why most PAL setups output NTSC as PAL-60 instead of pure 525/60 NTSC) and additionally the audio speed must be adjusted (remember DVD is a multiplexed set of VOB files, not separate streams) to conform to the different display rate - which may also prevent the use of a digital connection!
This type of conversion is much, much less compatible the other way around. Most NTSC players still cannot play PAL discs (although as I have said a Universal BluRay player may do this) and only a very small number can convert 625/50 PAL to 525/60 NTSC.
Let us now talk about MPEG audio & why it is not recommended to use it. This gets complex.....
MPEG audio is a multichannel format using perceptual encoding at 16-bit 48KHz. MPEG-1 Layer II and MPEG-2 BC (backwards compatible) are the only allowed forms and the MPEG-2 that is allowed - BC - is a matrixed format, not discrete, in surround use. Use of this type (MPEG audio) was only ever optional in NTSC, never mandatory (so that is one big problem) and the other big problem is that MPEG-2 audio is only allowed in BC mode. Why is this evil? Take a seat & let me try to go through it.
Because MPEG-2 audio decoders were not available at the time of DVD introduction, MPEG-1 was the only decoder available so that was what got used. As a result, the only permissib;le type of MPEG-2 allowed is BC, which is a matrixed stream type (the 5 main channels are matrixed into Lt/Rt stereo streams) and then encoded in the normal MPEG-1 Layer II format for DVD. The advantage to this is that a multichannel stream can be phase matrix encoded so that it will also play on a stereo system. MPEG provides pre-determined matrixing formulas depending on the intended audience - one is a conventional stereo signal, another is designed to deliver a Dolby Surround compatible (*not* Dolby Digital - that is something very different) system that re-creates the centre channel fronm the left/right channels in addition to a single rear (or surround) channel (Nerdy Note - this is actually a development of the old SQ Quadraphonic matrixing system, set up for LCRS instead of L-R-Ls-Rs). Additional discrete channel information, plus the LFE channel, is encoded in an extension stream so that an MPEG-2 decoder (not MPEG-2 Audio) can recreate 6 separate signals. Because of the necessity to be backwards compatible with MPEG-1 decoders the centre & surround channels that are matrixed into the 2 MPEG-1 channels (left & right) are duplicated in the extension stream. This allows the MPEG-2 decoder to subtract those signals from the matrixed signals, leaving the original Left & Right channels. All this adds an overhead of approximately 32kbps, making it rather inefficient.. The original 2-channel MPEG-1 encoding process was not developed with matrixed audio in mind and therefore may actually remove surround detail. Also, the process tends to expose coding artefacts as well so coupled with the whole shebang only ever being optional in NTSC 525/60 systems means that to use this as your solitary stream type is actually out of spec for 525/60 regions & players may well take one look at the disc & output...................in short, just a picture. And if that picture is 625/50 PAL, quite possibly not that either.
Audio support in DVD.
MPEG-2 audio is basically not supported except in BC moide, which hands everything over to MPEG-1 decoders. This is not good. It is not efficient, it can be riddled with artefacts & it is not supported by fiat in NTSC regions, only optionally. If it is your sole stream you will run into trouble sooner or later.
I hope this helps, and I think I will go away & write a little article about this as it keeps cropping up every so often..

T61 Cut off in middle of working and will not come back on

I have a T61p that was working fine, then just cut off. It was plugged into power outlet. It will not come back on, or display any lights. I have tried the 10 power button pushes, last for 30 secs several times now and it does not have an effect. I have pulled the drives out and the memory also.
Any other help?
Thanks!

So the power light is still there, but the laptop doesn't come on, does the HDD drive spin up when you press the power button?
Do you have warranty still? If not you can still get a post warranty warranty extension by calling lenovo, and get the laptop fixed.
Was your laptop overheating or doing weird stuff before this event occurred?

My song cuts off, it played before, how do I get the full song again?

I purchased the song & its worked forever, suddenly it cuts off after 2 seconds, around the time I upgraded from 4 to 5. How can I get the full song back? The song doesn't allow me to re-download it.

All American Rejects "Gives you ****" haven't found this problem with any other purchased song.

IPod abrubtly cuts off and only comes back on when you unlock the hold button. why and how can i fix this?

I listen to my iPod Classic at work and it kept cutting off today out of nowhere and this hasn't happened before. I have it in my pocket so I have the HOLD button in the lock position so the wheel won't get pressed while in my pocket. I figured it died on me but I had just charged it last night so I took it out and unlocked the HOLD button. Well, the music immediately came back on. It happened a few more times and i figured maybe it was the song or something so I changed albums and it kept happening. Every time it would cut off, I'd unlock the HOLD button and it'd come back on every time, almost like it was paused or something. Has anyone experienced this? if so, how do I fix it? I really don't want to buy a new iPod since I have little money because of school, bills, and photography/film equipment. Help? thanks.

I'm having a hard time finding an answer to this too. This is what is going on. Sometimes the iPod (iPod Classic 160GB) does not "like" the songs I've downloaded from cds. Sometimes it does. I think it always plays whatever songs I've purchased on iTunes though. The other day I synced it to add two new cds and somehow the iPod was wiped clean--no songs, no pictures, nothing. I did a reset and the songs came back but now these problems:
1. The song will play for a few seconds then it either skips to the next song.
2. The song won't play, just skips to the next song.
3. Everything just stops, the iPod is still 'on' but won't play anything.
4. Right now it's playing an Aimee Mann album that I downloaded but it wouldn't play the Joni Mitchell album just before. Is the iPod making a comment on my taste in music?
Flipping the lock back and forth helps sometimes, but not always.
I bought this device less than two years ago; I really hope it's not permanently messed up. Should I just go to the Apple Store (please I beg of you, don't make me!) and throw myself at their mercy?
Help!! My iPod is the only thing that gets me through the day in this office.

I want to sync tasks in Outlook with my iPhone. I have tried Toodledo (not good) and Todo. Todo works, but it cuts off most of the text. I only get the beginning of my (long) lists. Any ideas how I can solve this problem?

Usually if you have some kind of hardware failure there is some beeping during POST or most motherboards now have LED indicators to produce and error message based on the type of failure
So if its bad memory, not place properly, mismatched, processor not inserted properly, mismatched voltage or voltage connector not present etc it beeps or generates the error id.
Power supplies can be tested for failure. There are some walk throughs for testing just them with a switch, paperclip or a jumper (I'd suggest not doing this if you are not familiar with the dangers of electricity).
Memory can be tested with memory diagnostics programs like Memtest+
Processors can overheat if the proper precautions have not been taken usually you will get a POST beep or error code for that.
If the motherboard has no response then do the basics first:
Check power connectors and power supply. Once you determine that is not the case move on to other items like graphics cards in all the way or memory.

When I shut off the computer, firefox say's trouble with ending, and then it won't save my bookmarks that i had prior. I'm losing a lot of work why is this? It won't save my bookmarks.

when on websites, after certain time the computer freezes for time, the firefox commit charge seems to get too high to work properly. When I shut my computer to reboot, i lose my bookmarks that i had placed in my bookmark files. I lose a lot of work. Can i retrive this work somehow???

1. You're using an old version of Firefox that is no longer supported. You should upgrade to either Firefox 3.6.17 or the newest version - 4.0.1. <br />
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ - 4.0.1<br />
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - 3.6.17
2. When you reboot your computer while Firefox is open, you risk losing data. Firefox has backups of your bookmarks file, see this to learn how you can restore a backup from a previous day.<br />

Will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

will the new final cut pro x work with my Final cut pro version 6.0.6 data

Thanks Tom.
So I will need upgrade to FCP 7 first, then convert to an XML file in 6.0.6, then convert to another file that FCP X can read? I have a lot of half done projects that need finishing. Is this process very complex and time consuming?
Maybe I should be approaching this from a different angle. The reason I am asking is that I now need to upgrade to a new Mac book pro and have been told that I cant run final cut pro 6.0.6 on the new models using maverick. Is this true?

All work lost - can I recover?

I have been working with computers since the '70s, so I make a point of saving my work often. I've been using numbers for my tax calculation.
I'd done a whole lot of work, adding figures from lots of different data sources - and, of course, saving them.
I came back to my spreadsheet today to find that all the work I added had disappeared and there was no backup sheet that I could find!!
Any suggestions as to what happened and how I'd recover?
I'm now nervous of using the product too....!

I apologize but it's your duty to make backups.
If you don't want to do that by yourself, install a tool dedicated to this task.
(1) my free Autosave script available for months on my idisk

As far as I know, your file is definitely lost.

I cannot find a photo I did a lot of work to create. I have several library files that look similar but I found that at least one photo is not in both. Can I somehow merge these libraries. Can someone tell me how.

I cannot find a photo I did a lot of work to create. I have several libraries that look similar but I found at least one photo that was in one and not the others. Can someone tell me if I can merge these libraries, and how, and what to watch for that might cause problems.

the paid version of iPhoto library manager can merge libraries safely
Why do you have several libraries? Why are you not just using the one that has what you want?

When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I select the photo, click print and the preview shows there is a lot of the photo cut off. It also prints this way. How can I print the whole picture?

When I try to print a photo from iphoto, I click print and the preview shows a lot of the photo cut off. It also prints this way. How can I print the whole photo?

After selecting File > Print, a pop-up window should appear. Select "Customize" and this should take you back into a panel within iPhoto. Towards the bottom, you should see an option for "Layout". Select this option and choose the correct photo orientation.
Hope this helps!

I just bought the new HDMI cord for the IPad, it works good but a small potion of the TOP and the BOTTOM is cut off. It doesn't seem to do it for movies. My monitor is a 23 IN' acer s series.

My monitor is a 23 IN' acer s series. I just installed the drivers for my monitor with no change. I think I have a CD somewhere for my monitor maybe it has some kind of program in there that can help me. I can post a picture if I need to. Thanks

No work around that I know of.

I downloaded 3.6.8 and found Win32.Cherche.us in module plugin-containers.exe in mozilla firefox directory. i now have many network computers to clean and a lot of work, check your files

I started installing 3.6.8 several network computers. When I started firefox, I got the message from spybot that Win32.Cherche.us was found in file plugin-container.exe in the mozilla firefox directory. This is a rootkit and I will probably to re install/clean at least 4 or 5 virtual/real machines. This will be a lot of work on a weekend when I just wanted to rest
== This happened ==
Not sure how often
== I installed 3.6.9

Could an admin or mod please answer.
I have a serious question to ask that only they could answer.
Thank You

ICloud email needs a lot of work

Does anyone know if/where Apple has a place to report bugs with iCloud.com apps?
The email app is pretty unstable. Most of the time, searching doesn't work at all. It just spins for a while and then tells me that it can't complete it right now. Most of the time, composing new messages doesn't allow me to attach anything to the message. Just throws up a weird error. Sometimes attachments work just fine. There's almost no rhyme or reason to it.
And finally, the iCloud.com mail app itself is incredibly slow.
Definitely a lot of work needed. Earthlink's email client was better 5 years ago.

i think things will be better tomorrow. Tomorrow is IP6 Day.
