Any way to retrieve this image from my cache? When saved it only saves as a 1.7KB blank file.

I'm trying to retrieve an image from Firefox's cache but so far have had no luck in doing so. The picture was hosted on imageshack and I had it open in a window but when I refreshed the page several hours later it was gone. I refreshed the page several more times, tried messing with the url to see if that did anything, but no luck. I haven't cleared anything on Firefox so I'm hoping there's some way I can recover it from the cache.
I followed the instructions on this page: http://groups.google.com/group/mozilla.support.firefox/msg/73bab3fb55ac5b42
However, when I right clicked the URL and chose "Save Link As..." it only saved a 1.7KB file that none of my photo editing programs can recognize or open. I've tried going to cache entries for other image links and saving them and when I choose Save Link As for those they save just fine, and in full size, so I'm not sure why this one won't work...I'm using Offline Mode so I'm not sure why the picture no longer being hosted online should make a difference one way or the other. I'm just hoping that my act of refreshing the page and nothing being there didn't overwrite the cache file and thus erase the cache'd image.
So is there any hope of retrieving this picture or is it gone for good?

Hi.
Once the image in question is replace with another one, the old one is erased. That is to say, if you open an image, say www.domain.com/image.png, and it's a 200x200 image, then you close it, it's still on cache, and you can access it through the cache. But if the image is changed in the server, that same exact url, and you access it again, at you see a 250x200 image (just an example), then the 200x200 is gone forever.
Your hope is that you never accessed the same URL again, so the old cache wasn't erased. If you know the url of the image, simply select offline mode (File > Work Offline, I think) and access its url. It will load the cached version and not check for the online one. Only if there is a cached version, of course.
I hope this helps.

  • On my iPad 3 is there any way to stop the pictures from flipping 180 when saved?

    When I take pictures with my iPad, when the pictures save they always flip to the opposite side. Like a mirror image. I am wondering if there was anything I can do to fix this as it is extremely annoying!

    Yes the calendar is gone. I guess it is the notification center I am referring to that comes down when I accidently swipe the top of the screen. Is there a way to stop of notification center from coming down if you swipe the screen? I figured out how to stop the control center from coming up if you swipe the bottom on the screen. Now I just need to figure out how to stop the top of the screen from doing the same thing

  • Is there a way to prevent an image from turning blue when selecting it?

    I'm exported a pdf from InDesign that will be used as a brochure for one of the exhibitions at our museum. I'm wondering if there's any way to prevent an image from turning blue when a reader clicks on it. Since all of the images are works of art, I'd rather that they not change color when people click on them.
    I changed the security settings so the images couldn't be copies, hoping that would prevent the blue square, but it didn't help.
    thanks for any suggestions.
    Chris

    There are several ways to do that and here are but two of them.
    1. If you want to make a new image you can right click on the channel, click on Duplicate Channel and under Destination>Document, select New
    2. If you want to add a new layer to your document, click on the channel in the channels panel, go to Select>All, then Edit>Copy, click on RGB in the channels panel and then Edit>Paste

  • I accidentally deleted a very important page in my NOTES.  Is there any way to retrieve this?

    I accidentally deleted an important page in NOTES.  Is there any way to retrieve this?

    If you have backed up the iPad since you created that page of notes and if you have not synced since, you can try restoring the iPad from a backup. Remember that the notes do have to be in the backup and when you restore from a backup, you restore all app data and files from that backup. You cannot select specific content to restore to the iPad. It is all or nothing.
    If you want to try this, turn off auto sync in iTunes - without the iPad connected to the computer. Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preference>Devices>Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from automatically syncing. Check the box at the bottom, click OK. Make sure that you have a backup in that window as well. Click OK and quit iTunes.
    Now connect the iPad and launch iTunes. Right click on the iPad name on the left and select  - Restore from Backup. Select your backup from the window - Let the iPad restore and then sync with iTunes.
    you can turn at sync back on again when you are done.

  • Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone if photostream was not on?

    I recently lost my iphone and I cannot find it using find my iphone because it says it is offline.  I had the "icloud backup" set to on, but I had photostream set to off.  Is there any way to retrieve my pictures from my lost phone without photostream being on?  The description of icloud backup says that it automatically backs up your camera roll so I'm praying there is a way. Help please =(

    Your iCloud backup includes your camera roll photos and videos by default (unless you excluded it from the backup in settings).  To recover them, you would need to restore the backup to a replacement iPhone (or iPod touch) as explained here: iCloud: Restore your iOS device from iCloud.  (You couldn't recover them by restoring the backup to an iPad, however.)
    Be aware that Apple will delete iCloud backups after 180 days of inactivity so you'll want to do this before this expires.

  • I just got Pages for my iPad. I am learning Mac. I spent hours on a document last night. This morning the document is there but it is completely blank. Did I somehow delete content? If so! What did I do? Is there any way to retrieve this document????

    I just got Pages for my iPad.  I am learning Mac. I spent hours on a document last night that has no content this morning.  The document is there but it is completely blank.  Did I accidentally delete the content?  If so, how?  Is there any way to retrieve this content?

    I'm not sure what happned either but If you are doing this via iTunes, iTunes should have backed up the iPad first. It can take a good bit of time when you update with iTunes on your computer because iTunes downloads and installs the entire iOS all over again. If you are running iOS 5 on the iPad, and you will be now, you can update OTA via WiFi in the future and the process takes far less time since you will only be downloading an incremental update.
    If you are syncing on a regular basis with iTunes, you should have a recent backup. In the worst case scenario, you should be able to restore from the backup. And as stated aboce, you can download all apps again and virtually all purchased content from iTunes (if you live in the U.S.) and you can always sync your iTunes library back to the iPad.
    Let the update finish and see where you are then. Come back if you need help.

    Itunes content is not included in the backup that itunes makes when syncing.
    You should always make sure that you have transferred all of your purchased itunes content to your computer before any update.
    If you failed to do this, then you can redownload as expalined in the previous post.

  • Is there any way to set an image from your camera roll as a wallpaper without having a shadow over it on iOS7?

    Everytime you set a picture from Camera Roll as a wallpaper a dark shadow appears on the top and the bottom of the image.
    Is there anyway one can turn this off? I've noticed this doesn't happen with the preset wallpapers the phone brings.. Thanks
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Emilia

    I believe the iPhone does this a default so you can view the time more clearly   There is no way to turn this I think. But I have found zooming in on an image ever so slightly and moving it around can change the effect.  Good luck
