Auto Recovery Folder

Hi together
I saved by mistake an Excel-File in the folder Auto recovery, I can see the folder when I open new sheet and click save as. I looked already in the folder Microsoft office/office 2011, there is none folder auto recovery. Where is this folder? Is there a chance to find and open the Excel-File?
Thank you very much for your support.
Marceio

This would be best asked on Microsoft's Office forums, don't you think?
That being said, it is found in the Microsoft section of your library's Applications Support folder.
Yours, NOT the system's, mind you.

How to use auto recovery from word 2011?

Hi
Yesterday I spent the whole day writing up a report for work to the point where I fell asleep last night with the document still opened. This morning I had a little more to do on it and when I tried to press save (like a did all day yesterday) it wouldn't save. I ended up just closing it down without saving because there was no point going on if it wasn't going to save any of my new stuff. So when I tried to open the file again it has reverted back to the document I started and saved over a week ago - MINUS ALL OF MY WORK FROM YESTERDAY!! I've tried finding it in my auto-recovery file but it is empty. What do I do?
These are possible issues that I think may stop me from finding the problem:
1. The document is saved on my USB
2. Microsoft Office wanted to update and I clicked not now as I was in the middle of this report.
Could these things affect my outcome?
PLEASE HELP!!!!

Could you please elaborate?
Is there a file in the Folder "PSAutoRecover" on your scratch disk?

How to fix auto recovery crush? Im in deadline. it was my whole day work, pls help..

Close ID, find the HIDDEN InDesign Recovery folder (It will be next to InDesign SavedData, and you can find the path to that for your OS at Replace Your Preferences ), and empty it, then restart ID normally, not by double-clicking a file.
If your file was not damaged during the crash, it should open from the File menu at the last saved state. You will lose anything you did to the file since the last save.

IPhoto had a auto import folder. does this exist in photos for mac?

I used image capture to get the photos from my iPhone, so that iPhoto didn't open every time i plugged in. there was an auto import folder in iPhoto which i could dump my photos in, then when i did open iPhoto it would import everything in that folder. is there a folder that will import everything in that folder whenever Photos for Mac is opened?

What does iPhoto do with photos as they are imported?
What you tried was a very complicated and unsupported way to import from one iPhoto library to another.
The safest way would have been either
to use iPhoto Library Manager to export a new library from the old one
or to export the original files using iPhoto and to import the exported files.
But pasting the Masters folder into a temporary "Importing" folder put your photos at risk. The Importing folder is a temporary cache that will be emptied, when an Import has finished.
It started to get very slow and sluggish, so I decided I would move the photos to a new library on the same drive.
It would have probably sufficed to repair or to rebuild the library and safe all your edits and albums, instead of migrating the photos to a new library.
Since you do not have a backup, and your Masters folder got erased, I recommend to stop using the drive with your library immediately and to try data recovery software, for example Disk Drill. It has a free trial mode.

Auto-Save and Auto-Recovery

I hope the is a differnence between auto-save (as listed in you document properties) and Auto-Recovery (as set in Prefs). I would like some "protection" but I don't want flash saving over my file unless I tell it to save. I got burn last night while "experimenting" and and did a "revert" only to find that flash had saved over my file, what a pain. I went to find the "recovery" file only to not find one anywhere. My search on the net are conflicted with wheather or not these 2 features are the same. In my case both items where checked and both set to 10min (the default). soooo....
Please tell me that Auto-Recovery is different, is that it doesn't save over my file, ie it keeps a real back-up someplace, AND where i can find this "recovery" file. ?
This feature seems strange, why not do a std auto back-up to a user selected number of versions in a user selected location ?
Thanks
Joel

Thanks. After poking around for a while I kinda figured this out. I was just glad to find out I could get some kind of "back-up" function from Auto Recovery, because "Auto Save" is a nightmare. I can't understand where anyone would want to use this feature at all. Anything that saves over what your working on before your ask for the file to be saved is looking for trouble. I found it out the hard way. I had "auto Save" on and after messing around trying a few different things, none of which worked or I liked, I thought I would simply close and re-open the original file only to find "auto save" had saved over my original file. I can't see any place where this feature would be anything but a pitb. If they want a auto save feature it should be saving versions of the original (up to a user specified number of instances) in the seperate folder. Never under any curcumstances should the original file be saved over unless the users presses SAVE. Auto recovery would be more useful if it didn't erase everytime you restarted the app. Flash needs to look at the back-up and versioning systems that AE and PPro use.
It's one of those things that bother you about the whole "suite" concept. Adobe owns all these apps and while some of them do play well together to an extent, for the most part it is still a collection of indiviuals. While there have been some changes to get the "look" of the apps to be close, the actual functioning of the UI in the differnt apps isn't where it needs to be. There needs to be a Suite "czar" that makes all the apps do std UI things the same using the same keys etc. for example AE, PPro, Flash, Photoshop, fireworks, all use different keys to zoom in/out or of your image/stage/comp/viewer/monitor window ie main workspace or to enable the mouse "wheel" for zooming. PPro still refuses to use the spacebar to toggle the hand tool like every other "suite app". anyway. a std system for back-up and versioning is need across the suite.
thanks

CS6 opens with Auto Recovery files every launch.

I know where the recovery files are. Finding and deleting them isn't the issue.
My understanding of Auto Recover is that when a working file is saved and closed, the corresponding Auto Recover psb should be trashed automatically.
Every evening I save and close all my work, quit Photoshop and shut down the Mac. Every morning when I start Photoshop, at least one Auto Recovery file opens. It's the last file(s) I was working on the previous evening.
I've toggled Auto Recover on/off, trashed the folder and had CS6 recreate it. Nothing works. Every morning, I am presented with a psb of the previous evening's work.
My scratch disk is a dedicated 100gb SSD. I have triple verified that CS6 is not writing recovery files to a different location.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Rob

Is there any problem at/after quitting Photoshop?
Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated and have you performed the usual trouble-shooting routines (trashing prefs by pressing command-alt-shift/ctrl-alt-shift while starting Photoshop until the appropriate dialog appears after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed, 3rd party plug-ins deactivation, system maintenance, cleaning caches, font validation, etc.)

Can't find files when building EXE unless the WHOLE codebase is in an auto-populating folder

I have a project with FPGA (specifically a couple cRIO targets).
I have a build spec for a PC target, then a target that's set up for Scan Mode, then a couple targets set up for FPGA mode.
When I try and build the FPGA or Scan Mode targets, I NEED to have the entire code folder (and sub-folders) in an auto-populating folder.
What's strange is that I manually added the same folder, and then pulled the Top-level VI out so that it was easier to see within the project. When I did that, I got errors that files were broken and missing. I then removed that folder and added the same folder as auto-populating and all is well.
Yes, I was able to make the build work by including debugging, not removing TypeDefs, etc. This also cause the build to go from 2MB and 30 secodns build time to 50MB + 10 min build time.
Why si this? I would like to remove the files for other targets from the Source of each of the targets. If I do this, I can't build (these are other top-level VIs that are not appropriate on a per target basis).
Any ideas?

Hey Jed,
It sounds like the problem you are having is coming from a file path issue. When you manually add folders as "Snapshot" the file paths are set and will generate errors if the files are moved. The autopopulating folder updates file path locations so you don't have those same issues. Debug mode allows for the file paths to be reassociated, but at the expense of time, and in some cases resources. Enabling debugging will cause the compilation to take longer.
You wrote:
So what I am trying to say is that ALL I did when I removed the auto-populate was to click "Stop Auto Populate" and moved the Top-level VI up one folder level within the project. This causes it to fail compile (unless debugging is checked).
This makes complete sense. By moving ANY VI in a project and not having the folder set to auto-populate or having debugging enabled will cause an error because that VI that you moved isn't where it is supposed to be. This is the way that projects and the compilation of programs was designed.
To avoid this, don't move files around after they have been added to the project unless you have folders set to autopopulate, or have debug mode enabled. When you start shuffling file paths, associations get broken and compilations will fail.

How do I disable auto-recovery files from opening every time I open Photoshop?

Hi! I have read several forums about how to disable the auto-recovery feature. However, I don't want to disable the auto-recovery because I like that it saves my work in case of crash. It's just annoying that everytime I open photoshop all those previous files auto open. Is there anyway to make it stop? I read that there is a file that you delete, but will that stop the auto-recovery feature? Thanks in advance for your help!
Oh! It's Photoshop CS 6 and the os is Mountain Lion. Thanks!

On Windows, if Photoshop crashes, the autorecovery files are not cleared. On next launch, Photoshop sees those autorecovery files and reopens them.
When Photoshop closes successfully, it deletes these autorecovery files, and thus on the next launch no recovery files should be opened.
So if your files are continually opening, then Photoshop is in essence crashing every time you close it (assuming you are trying to close Photoshop each time).
May need to look at doing things like recreating the preference files or running Photoshop in a new user.

Where are the auto recovery files stored for Visio 2010?

I have auto recovery set for every 5 minutes. I have been working on a file that has been saved several times a day. Today when just moving a shape Viso 2010 crashed after I had been working on the file for over 2 hours. Auto recovery popped
up every 5 minutes indicating it was saving the file. After the crash the ony file I could find was the file as it was when I first opened it this AM. None of the work done today was saved.
Did auto recovery completely fail? Where can I look for the auto recovery file?
I have not done a reboot because I am afraid that if the file exits it will be gone for sure if I reboot. Any suggestions are welcome.
There must be a temp file or something that I can look for but not sure what the extension would be or the location.
Hopefully someone here can help.
thanks,
greg

How do I know? You state the the auto-save file extension is .vxd - that's the Visio document XML format.
You can change this in File -> Options -> Save
As for the crashes, are there any messages when a crash occurs?
Check that the video drivers you have are the latest, try a different screen resolution to see if that changes anything and turn off or change any screen accelerators.
-- Paul Herber, Sandrila Ltd. http://www.sandrila.co.uk/ Engineering and software shapes for Visio.
My mistake - the file format is .vsd - standard visio format
Here is the info from the event viewer for the specific crash that caused me temporary pain.

I had to revert my PC to factory settings. I have a recovery folder. How do I get my address book and mail folders back?

I had a serious system problem on my PC and had to restore it to its factory configuration. During the process, I was prompted by Windows to create a recovery folder on an external device. I have mostly recovered from my disaster. I have reinstalled Thunderbird, but it does not see my old email folders or my address book. How can I get them back?

Do you have a backup of your files from the computer before you reinstalled? Otherwise this won't be possible

Not sure if I deleted recovery folder on Mac

Hi,
For some reason my recovery folder was in the Trash and so I dragged the folder to the left hand side bar under pictures, then emptied the trash, but I think I deleted it anyway. How do I check if I have deleted it and if I have how do I get it back, if needed or could i just create a new folder.

What are you referring with recovery folder? If you are referring to Recovery HD, it's a partition, so it wasn't deleted after emptying the Trash

Auto recovery for standalone

Auto recovery;
What are the steps to auto recovery in case of the database is a standalone.
can we write the script to do it automatically.

The details of every recovery is dependent on the nature and extent of the failure. This requires analysis by the DBA. That's what we get paid the big bucks for.

Can Auto Recovery be disabled in InDesign CC for PC?

I have InDesign running on a server and its sole purpose to is create previews of ID documents for my Digital Asset Management system. The auto recovery halts previews from being made through the DAM and really slows down my system. Isn't there a way I could disable document recovery entirely, since it's not actually helping me in this case?

I can assure you that it's a legal, licensed copy of the CC! My DAM just picks up activity from our production server and creates thumbnail previews of our ID documents.
Thanks for your input!

Deactivate INDD Auto-Recovery

I don't have any need at all for the auto-recovery feature, really. All it does is cause a delay for me (when the server goes down). I've never used it, never needed it, ever, and I wouldn't trust it to present me with every change I made anyway. I'd rather start over. Please give me a way to turn it off.

I believe that you can set InDesign to run scripts at startup and quitting time. As noted in this article, http://indesignsecrets.com/rebuilding-indesign-preferences.php, the saved data file can be deleted and automatically recreated on startup.
For help on creating the script you'd need and how to implement it, try the InDesign scripting forum.

VPC Auto-recovery Feature

Hi, all
I understood vPC auto-recovery feature as the following but are they correct?
vPC auto-recovery becomes effective command only when vPC role is secondary.
In order to change to secondary state, a pair of vPC devices need synchronize.
Even if one of a pair vPC devices fails boot after a power cut, vPC auto-recovery does not work. The vPC role is "none established" because the vPC device does not synchronize with peer vPC device.
Thank you for your cooperation in advance.

Hi Satoru,
This document explains pretty well how auto-recovery works.
