Any way to recover copied over files????!!!!!

I inadvertently copied over a full days work on an FCP project with an earlier backup of the project. Is there any way at all to retrieve my days work?
PLEASE SAY YES

Hi Roy, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Stop using the computer immediately, there is a chance, but even booting it up can destroy what mught be left of them.
The files aren't actually overwritten, the space is freed for the OS to use, and pointed to where the new ones are.
You need an External HD to recover to, or another Mac to boot this one into Target mode to recover to.
Your best bet for recovering your data is Data Rescue II...

Corrupted Aperture Library - Any way to recover original RAW files?

Hi all - as a user since the initial release of Aperture, I'm afraid I've run into my first show-stopper of a problem with Aperture 2.01. At some point (and I can't seem to see where) about 15 projects in my library have become corrupted, where I have only blank grey thumbnails for each image. Clicking on any image gives me a lighter grey image in the viewer window.
Even worse - if I select an image and try the view Master command (M), I get a lovely "Invalid Image Format" in red. I understood that the RAW files were stored inside of the aperture library file and was fairly confident that even in the worst-case I would just lose my meta data and edits.
I've exported out the projects that were still intact into seperate project files which I'll re-import after a fresh install of aperture (once I get past my emergency status)
Seems I was wrong. Restoring from my last few Vault backups (up to a month ago) has not resolved anything (or the corruption occurred far earlier).
Any assistance in recovery strategies is greatly appreciated. Otherwise I'll end up walking away from a good set of 10,000+ shots. (my current library is around 55k images)
Is there someone I can contact at Apple Support directly for assistance?!?
Thanks in advance,
Ted

Thank you kindly for the suggestions - the Show Packages option did not show any of the affected projects (in fact even the folders were missing).
Sadly also my vault copies where also missing. It would seem that somewhere along the line the files themselves were deleted from the drive without updating the Aperture library.
It looks like I'll have to suck it up this time - as I haven't been able to identify any recoverable archives - all my vaults see to be empty or suffering the same missing images syndrome. I've found a few very old copies of a portion of past shoots, but the bulk are gone. Needless to say I'm not very happy atm.
Me thinks I'll have to be more diligent about burning and DVD of each shoot immediately after I import them into Aperture going forward.
My next question is how can I guarantee a fresh re-install of Aperture? Is simply deleting icon from my Applications folder sufficient?
Thanks again for your suggestions!

Is there any way to recover a file if Time Machine is not set up?

I accidentally overwrote a file in word (i saved it as the same name and i agreed to overwrite it). I do not have Time Machine set up. Is there any way to recover the original file?

There's a slim chance. +*Stop using the drive IMMEDIATELY.+*
Then see: [Data Recovery|http://web.me.com/pondini/AppleTips/Recover.html].

Is there any way to recover deleted account on outlook express?

I didn't know that deleting account in outlook express will also delete the DBX files of that account. Is there any way to recover the dbx files?

Unfortunately, the mail accounts settings (and messages rules) for Outlook Express are stored in the Windows registry and not in a file that can be easily restored.

I built a website with iWeb on my older mac and launched it on the internet. The hardrive crashed which was where the files were saved for the website. Is there any way to recover it through the internet onto my newer computer?

Is there any way to recover this website? I need to edit it but the original files were wiped clean even after recovering what was left on the hard drive.

iWeb stores its sites and pages in a proprietary package format on the HDD in the user library, and when FTP'ing it to the server, it's a set of PHP and other file types. So, there is no way you can re-build from what's on the server.
But you may double-check, the file in question on the HDD is ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb/Domain.sites2 (where ~ is your user home folder). Maybe it's somewhere among your recovered files? Restoring it into the same location and copying iWeb into the Applications folder will get you going again.
Other than that, here is a discussion forum dedicated to iWeb.

You are out of luck on your PC, since the file appears to be empty, but you can try to recover the deleted video on your phone: http://www.wondershare.com/disk-utility/recover-deleted-photos-from-iphone.html

Kevin-
You say you uploaded the pictures to the iPad? Then they should still be there, and you can copy them to your computer through iTunes.
There are utility programs for a computer that can recover deleted files from hard drives, and they may work for camera memory cards as well. I've used DiskWarrior for Macintosh to recover pictures from an SD card before.

Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover file?

Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover filled form with data from temp locations?
I was not aware that ctrl+s no longer works in reader and closed the PDF after savign it(with ctrl+s). However ,the data is lost and there seems to be no way to recover it.
I cannot find any temp files created by Reader on my system.
Also to my surprize(and shock), the reader did not even show a warning before closing the PDF. Does anybody know if/where can I recover the file from?
Guys, Please reply ASAP if you have got any sort of solution!

Hi Pat,
Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
I guess I should not have updated the reader.

Where are temp files for Photoshop CS4? Is there any way to recover from themM?

Hi. My Mac crashed with all my work. I forgot to do Cmd S and now I lost 2 days worth of work in Photoshop CS4. Any chance the work is still in temp files? If yes, is there any way to recover files from them? Best, Caldvin

If you had any smart objects involved, you might be able to get to them. But no, not your main file.
How did you manage to work for two days without a save!?!
We all have to suffer these every now and again, teaches you to hit “save” every thirty seconds. You’ll be obsessive about it for eight months, then forget, loose hours of work and repeat. Perfectly natural.
On the plus side doing something the second time is usually quicker…

I am working on a PC. My InDesign CS6 was working but is now missing its amtlib.dll file. To fix it it says to reinstall program but I was am idiot and didn't make a copy. Is there any way to reinstall this missing file?

It was bought for my son and he never registered it.
I still don't understand why Neema was trying to reinstall it when she didn't have the serial number but after she uninstalled it, said she couldn't reinstall it because I didn't have the serial number. I never had it yet she didn't have a problem with trying to install it originally.
Still won't buy another Adobe product again. I've talked to a lot of people who can't stand Adobe and I now know why. I can't even update Flash without my whole system crashing or getting a virus.
I won't re-purchase InDesign either. I realize it should have been registered and I explained that my email had been hacked and my proof of purchase was deleted with ALL of my emails and I also had a major virus after updating Flash.
I can't afford to buy the same product twice.
I will find out what other formats my book distributor (Ingram Books) accepts and purchase that program.
Not impressed with Adobe and will share my experience with others so they can be sure to register their product and make a copy of the program BEFORE allowing an Adobe employee to take control of their computers.
If you knew the answer to my question, customer support should have too.
Thanks for your help.

Is there any way to recover a .tif I was just working with?

The Facts
System: PC
Program: Photoshop CS5
Version: 12.0.4
The Situation
I am working with a .tif file (1000 cm x 1000 cm at 72 dpi). I have been copying and pasting images from other .tif files into it in order to see all images at once, so I can then move them around and try to fit certain images together. I have been saving it as a .tif with no compression over the last few days. The file is now 2.61 GB with 119 images.
The Problem
Before going to lunch, I saved it as I always do and left. When I returned, Photoshop told me it could not open because it did not recognize the file type.
My Questions
1. Is there any way to recover my file?
2. It is imperative that the files I am adding to this .tif remain their actual size. That said, what is the best image compression option that I should use?
The File
Microsoft OneDrive - Access files anywhere. Create docs with free Office Online.

I do not know if your file can be recovered. But I may be able help you to recreate it with ease. If you will settle for a composite where all image are re-sized for a particular tile size and virtually cropped to its aspect ratio. However all source image need be gathered into a folder to use my script process. Paste Image Roll Script and Picture Package Support Link http://www.mouseprints.net/old/dpr/PasteImageRoll.jsx

Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails?

Only an exclamation point shows up when I click a thumbnail in my iphoto folder. Is there any way to recover these photos by using the thumbnails? Please help. Thanks!

That exclamation mark is displayed when iPhoto cannot link to the original file. First make sure you are running a "managed" library by checking iPhoto's Advanced preference pane to make sure the checkbox to copy files into the library during import is checked.
Click to view full size
If it is checked you can try the following: make a temporary, duplicate copy of the library and apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
Select the options identified in the screenshot.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
