Arkham City Crashed; Erased All Saved Data

Yesterday Arkham City started crashing during gameplay on my Macbook Pro. Then after about the 4th crash of the day, I restarted it to find that all saved files, EVERYTHING was erased from the game memory.
1. I have never even had a video game crash on a Mac before Mavericks came along.
2. This computer costs over 1,400$ and now it can't be trusted to play a simple video game without ruining it. If I wanted problems like this, I would have bought a PC.
3. The game was at 85% completion. Losing the files is not the end of the world, but does anyone else have any suggestions for finding the files? (Maybe the files are still on the dard drive someplace.)

Happened here too, more than once. Suddenly goes back to the desktop from running the game, and restart it to find that my game save is not showing in the selection screen or the game save folder for some reason. How does this happen, why? Is there a way to stop it from happening again? This is the only thing I found on this problem, strangely, so I don't know the cause.

Premiere Elements 12 crash, lost all saved data on a new project.

I was working on a short project that had many video and audio clips. About 3 hours into the project Premier Elements 12 crashed. Now It will not open the saved data. It simply tells me "An unknown error occurred while opening the project" Am I SOL? Is this what I should expect as a regular from Adobe? More importantly, is there a method to recover the project? I am a new user to Adobe Elements and video editing in general.
Thanks,
Jordan M-

I've attempted to update the software. When I open the program up and go to the Help tab and Check for Updates, it tells me that it is already up to date. I've noticed through screen shots that other users' icons say 12.1 Mine does not and I still have performance issues while trying to render or upload.
My computer runs high end games at max settings, so as far as I can tell, my computer works fine. I would like to understand these updates further before I continue to analyse the issues I am having.
Also,
I ran a Program Compatibility Test and it tells me:
Issues found:
Program Compatibility:
Incompatible Application (referring to Premiere Elements 12)

I don't want to flood you with to many questions. My priority is to just update the darn thing to see if that is my issue. I thought I would mention the test above as additional info that might be helpful.
Thank you for your help thus far, It's been of great use.

Follow these instructions. When you restore the iPod from backup as the article says your iPod will also be updated.

Installing iOS 5 erases all previous data

Installation of iOS 5 erased all previous data on my iPad. Help! Prior to iCloud being in the picture, where were all my photos and documents backed up?
I am attempting to locate the files which vanished upon updating to iOS 5 - hundreds of pdf files, thousands of uploaded photos, screen shots, saved photos from web, ALL GONE. So were all my acquired apps, although those have been replaced - now I can begin or attempt to reconstitute the complex folder structure (notes, notes 2, notes 3, etc.) which grew over the last few iOS iterations, from too many apps stuffed into folders with strict limitations on contents. Tedious, but possible. Re all the photos, I'm still looking for clues: Is solid state storage similar to that on disk drives – does deleted information still reside on the drive, just not on the index?
Also, post updating, I am continually being prompted to authorize my computer, even though it is, and my Apple ID is intermittently rejected as if invalid, this is causing syncing challenges.
Thanks.
Weary of chasing side effects of upgrading operating systems.

Same for me, when install was finished all was gone, but strange enough the disk space bar was indicating 14Go other and that was exactly my content "in app" without apps, photos, video and music. So this data was not accessible due to missing apps and all my photo/video/music was gone.
I had exactly the same issue last upgrade, and last time I decided to resync my media content and started to add apps one by one again, and by magic almost all the apps managed to find back their data in the 14Go "other" that was still in the IPad. But I had to redo a lot of work like Icon position, some settings, and some apps didn't restore well. Took me a very long time and effort to get back to a nominal situation.
So this time I deciced instead to click "Restore" before doing any sync and used the backup that was generated automaticly just before the upgrade to 5.0 (so still with version 4 of ths IOS)
The process started, the Ipad rebooted and firmware was then loaded again (still 5.0) and the 14Go data from the backup was reloaded also, and this time after this quite long step, itunes started to restore apps, music, photos and videos one by one ... was quite a very long process but at the end all was perfect, storage was back to 40 Go including my 14Go data and all photos, videos and apps, with all setting perfectly restored.
Hope this help,
Patrick

How do I transfer all the information in my iTunes on my old mac book to my new mac book pro so I can sync my devices to the new machine with erasing all the data my iPhone and iPad?

How do I transfer the information within iTunes on my old mac book so when I connect the devices the new machine will not erase all my data?
Thank you

Copy the entire iTunes folder within the music folder on your old Mac to the music folder on your new Mac.
You can use an external hard disc for the transfer, or you can connect the computers together using Firewire Target Disc Mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1661

How do I erase all my data from my iPad mini?

I purchased a new Ipad mini yesterday. I want to return it but first would like to erase all my data entered. The only information I found on how to do this requires that one go to settings>general>reset>erase all data. I tried this; however, my mini has no reset option in settings>general. Any suggestions?

On an iPad Mini the charger port is very small, the cable should look like this:
The larger plug goes to the charger brick. The smaller thinner plug goes into the iPad's port, labeled Lightning Connector in the picture below.

Adobe upgrade - lost all saved data on pdf form. Help?

I recently spent weeks completing and revising a very lengthy and important application form (pdf). Upon submitting it I was told that the data could not be viewed and that I needed to update my Adobe to the latest version (11). Upon doing this I lost all saved data on the pdf forms, I wasn't pre warned about this and am extremely dissapointed as it tooks me ages to find all the information and re-word it to a high standard. Is there any way that it can be recovered?
I thought it would be in my sent emails but that is blank as well. Help?

If you used an earlier version of Reader before it would only have been possible to save the filled-in information in the file if a special right was applied to it by the authors, before you received it. If that right was not applied then you should have seen an error message saying that the file can't be saved with the data you entered.

HT1766 Where is my old backup stored? Because of auto backup, I can't see any of my older ones and with new ios erased all my data and it kept backing up the "new" setting

I plugged in my iphone and then itunes says my iOS was old and need update. Hence I update it to 7 where it erased all my data to start with, and it was actually backed up before it was erased.
After the new iOS was installed, it just couldn't restore the old data and instead it kept auto back up the new setting. I called apple help line and the guy said whatever is on the itunes list is all there is. But because of the auto backup, the whole list is full of new backups without my old stuff. Is there anyone who can tell me whether these files are overridden or instead just not showing on itunes, and where can I find it?
Thanks lots

When you restore a device, a new backup is created and the old backup has a date added to the backup name.
Look in iTunes prefs > Devices.
The current backup will not have a date in the name. It will show the date on right side.

How do I erase all the data on an old imac?

Boot with your original install discs, launch Disk Utility from the Utilities menu, select the HD, erase, reformat, and zero out the data. Once that's finished, reinstall the OS and on first boot quit the installer and shutdown the machine. Give the original discs to the new owner and when they start it up, they'll experience the first time Setup Assistant. Since it's not a new machine, there should be nothing associated with Lion or ML to muck things up.

TS1367 Will reinstalling the memory card from my MacBook pro erase my saved data?

Will reinstalling the memory card from my MacBook pro erase my saved data?
My MacBook pro that I purchased in mid 2010 has been having some issues lately.
It's been running slow, which is very irregular since in 2010 I spent a lot of money to get the top of the line in every aspect. It's usually faster than fast and able to run multiple programs and browsers at a time.
The other day it began to act up. I did the smc reset the pram reset and it still had been running vveerryy ssllooww. :(
Now I was on it this morning and it was a bit unbalanced as I moved it to another table and it shut off completely. No sleep light, no response to the power button. It's just a dead hunk of junk. :( the only thing that gives me hope is that the battery life indicated is still working for some reason and it responds to the power adaptor when plugged in the light on the plug turns on as if the computer is acknowledging it.
Please help me. For the first time ever I am about to take apart my precious MacBook pro, but I want to make sure I am aware of what I am doing before I do it. I have read the support guide instructions through a few times so far and I am curious if removing the memory and reinstalling it will erase anything?
Is there hope?
Also currently I am unable to get to an apple store/ genius bar any live person at a store until this weekend. I am trying to avoid taking it in for I, like everyone else, need my computer for school and work and don't have the time or gas money to drive to one since I'm not in a metro area. : S
Please help!
Thanks for your time.

No, does not erase any data if you upgarede or reinstall RAM sticks.
You'd better upgrade RAM to get better performance, I suppose.

You erase everything and put the factory operating system back on from the Internet Recovery (command option r held at boot time),
If the factory operating system was 10.6, 10.5 or 10.4, then you put 10.6. using the disks.
