Auto-Save did not work... Any way to back up my project?

Hello,
I started a project this morning, a set of interviews shot on Canon 5DII. The footage is about 4 hours. One of the settings was to auto-save every 20min to maximum 5 versions. After about 14 hours of work Premiere just crashed. I got the gray screen and the message to hold down the power button of my mac. After restart I opened the project and the time-line looks exactly how I left it at the lunch brake. Since than I saw several times the auto-save performed, definitely more than 5.
Anybody experiencing same problem? Any way to back up my project? I'm desperate, tomorrow afternoon the interviews must be online on several sites.
Thank you.

That said...I have never heard  of PPRo Auto saves  .".saving  projects all the same and to old to be used"
Neither have I.
I cannot find the thread I recall fairly recently regarding how auto-save is operating.  But I believe it was demonstrated that auto-save will save even if edits have not been made.  So, for example, with preferences of saves every 5 minutes to a max of 5 could produce a bunch of saves all the same.  (They wou ld not be "too old," however.
Hunt recently linked to an article (http://forums.adobe.com/thread/477920?tstart=60) he put in the PE forum that includes this at the end:
* It has come to my attention that as of PrPro CS3, things have changed with Auto-Save. One does not need to do an initial Save to start Auto-Save, but if left Open, though no editing is being done, the Auto-Save will keep on overwriting the files at the set interval, say every 5 mins.. What this means is that if you leave a Project Open for 25 mins., have the number of Auto-Saves at the default of 5 and the default of every 5 mins., you will have 5 copies of the same Project file. I do not know what Adobe was thinking here, as Auto-Save should not be active, if no editing is being done. I often have a Project Open, but am working in PS, AI, or Encore, so there is no editing being done in PrPro, but there soon will be. I do not want all previous Auto-Saves being overwritten with the same exact file. With PrPro CS3 or higher, I strongly recommend that one does a lot more Save_As and Save_As_a_Copy, than in previous editions, or they might be in for a rude surprise, if they went to lunch, or just left the Project Open for a half-hour.
See that - and the moral of the story?  Don't EVER go to lunch before your project is finished!

    You need to restore.
    Everything should be on your computer, so you can just sync it back.

    The router might be bad or incompatible, but let's be optimistic.
    On System Preferences, go to Network/Advanced/PPP. Only two items should be checked: Connect Automatically When Needed and Disconnect when switching user accounts. Uncheck everything else. Now, click Okay on the end of the page. The next time you're online, you shouldn't be disconnected.
    If you still get disconnected like before, we might be dealing with a router issue - which can get rather complicated.

    A reset has nothing to do with Internet access or data access.
    A reset is simply pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears.
    What are you really trying to do?

    Backing up and restoring your Profile should have included your bookmarks.

    That looks like a JSON bookmarks backup file, from 11-01-2012. Did you try '''restoring''' that file?
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/restore-bookmarks-from-backup-or-move-them#w_using-a-bookmark-backup-file
    Never messed with JSON files other than viewing them on a few occasions out of curiosity. There are no line breaks which make them very difficult to read.
    As far as working with that file in {like} NotePad goes:
    A. use Find / Search for each indecent of a '''"uri"''' string, then "copy and paste" the uri into another text file, and then move on to the next "uri" string.
    B. use a text program where a filter can be set for the "uri" field in the JSON file for a line break or to "scrape out" the "uri"s only for display or export to a list of uri's.
    Or try using an online JSON editor like this, to try to display only the "uri" field.

  • FCP 7 lost sequence after exporting - auto save vault not working

    I started a project a couple of days ago. Today I worked from 11.00 - 20.00 hrs. I exported at 20.00 hrs. to compressor (i got a self contained compressed .MOV file out of that pffff)
    But then, returning to FCP 7, the sequence I exported (and worked on all day) was completely empty. Everything in the project folder is still there, but the cuts / edits in the main sequence i worked on are all gone.
    Inside the Auto Save Vault are only four saves from between 11.00 - 11.30 hrs. (not properly every 5 min.) and one from 20.00 hrs. The one from 20.00 hrs. is a version that also has the empty sequence. The whole afternoon FCP 7 seems to have made no auto saves, even though i set the Auto Save Vault to "every 5 min." in the preferences. Auto Save Vault files (of this same project) from a couple of days earlier are all there inside the Auto Save Vault folder.
    Tried already:  Looked inside the other two locations where i have autosave folders of other projects but the files were not there either.
    Had a Tiff in the sequence, and a couple of very simple text-motion things.
    Can anybody tell me whats going on?
    And if there is a way to retrieve?
    Never had this before, is this a FCP7 Yosemite issue?
    Thanks in advance!

    could be a yosemite issue.  Hard to know.  fcp was never meant to work in Yosemite, so it's hit or miss.
    Autosave misbehavior can happen and resetting your fcp preferences usually solves the problem.  Digital Rebellion makes a great utility to reset your preferences (and it's free).

  • Auto save is not working

    There is some problem after upgrade to Lion, Auto save version is not working in Iwork and anyone can fix it please advised. T.T

    I have experienced projects not being auto save back-uped, and linked that to file structure problems (like I moved the project from the folder where it originally was created, or I changed the folders name where the Pr project was residing after starting it. I think that these things can lead the Auto-Save to get confused sometimes. This can also happen in Ae as well.
    I have gotten used to making a duplicate of the project every day or at junctures of major change in the finder. The Mac finder duplicates the project file with the added word "copy" so I know that it isn't the original project file. I then add the date and time to the end of the file name _yymmdd_hh and send a copy to another drive.
    It's too bad that there is no option in Pr to have it save the Auto-Saves to different drive than where the original is.
    I also use a droplet created with a Mac renaming utility called "Name Mangler". Here is the macro for the advanced area of the re-namer in case anyone is interested.
    [concatenate
              <name>,
              "_", [modified "%y%m%d_%H"],".", <extension>
    I just drop the project file onto the droplet and it gets appended with its modification date.

  • Inter links not working, any way around?

    Working on Nook using Safari, uploaded PDF to acrobat.com and inter links don't work.  I've read in a forum about changing to PDF/a? however I can't locate where this would be in this situation.
    This is a work project, many files such as this all with inter links that serve as task completion check ins.  Really would like this setup to work.

    I've found that down loading the PDF file to the Nook and using Acrobat  reader allows the links to work, however this is way cumbersome, any way to work on files directly on Acorbat.com?

  • So I just upgraded to an iphone 5 from a 4s becaused the screen did not work any longer, however, my 4s still works so I've got everything still but for some reason it will only transfer half my music to itunes so I can't get all my music onto new phone

    Hi there
    So I just changed from an iphone4S to an iphone 5 because my screen didn't work any longer on the 4s but the phone itself still works so I managed to get all my contacts etc BUT for some reason I can't transfer all my music across to itunes and therefore I can't get it onto my new phone, it only transfers about 50% of it.
    Then when i go into music on the iphone 5 it shows the music but won't let you play anything and just flicks through all the songs without playing anything.
    Can anyone help please?
    Thank you

    Thank you - I thought that might be the case BUT why doesn't the music play that I have bought from itunes - do you happen to know please.
    All that happens is it just flicks through it all and won't play any of it???
    As in I select the song and it just flicks back one screen (if I am making sense).....
    I am really stuck and cannot work out what's gone wrong that's all.
    Considering a reset of my new iphone and trying again but done that once and it's still the same.

  • My Ipad keeps locking the screen every 5 sec, tried the reset did not work. any suggesstions?

    Ipad 2 keeps locking the screen or turning off every 5 sec, cannot use it. did the Reset, it does not solve the problem. any suggesstions?

    You can -
    1 restore
    2 reset by holding home button and off button together for like 10 seconds.
    3 go to settings>>general>>auto-lock>>choose never (might work..)

  • How to Save When So-called auto-save Does NOT Work?

    iPhoto is supposed to save work, eg, titling photos, organizing, adding keywords, automatically. Thus, can't save. Great concept. BAD IDEA, BECAUSE WHEN EVERYTHING ISN'T PERFECT. CAN'T SAVE WORK.
    Lately iPhoto has been crashing for me lately. Everytime the work of labelling, etc. is lost. This has happened up to 3 times for same batch of photos. But I can not save work as I go, even though I try, try, try.
    Is there a way to save. I really HATE to say this, but Apple apps are becoming more and more like Windows, which always assumes that it knows what you want to do.

    HI Alfred,
        Can you paste the command here so that we could verify the command and let you know what might be wrong.
    Also try to run the same command in the database end and verify whether it is retrieving all teh data as you expect.

  • Garbage collector does not work any way

    when you unload some loaded swf file (Loaded with Loader
    class) it's Event Listeners continue their jobs
    is there anyway to solve this problem
    for example please made three files
    l1.fla , l2.fla , main.fla
    in l1 creat a MovieClip with instance name "symbol_mc"
    and type these code
    this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,test1,false,0,true);
    function test1(evt:Event){
    trace("l1");
    symbol_mc.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,test2,false,0,true);
    function test2(evt:Event){
    trace("symbol");
    in l2 only create a text to see if file is loaded
    finally in main
    create to buttons with instance names btn1_btn and btn2_btn
    and add these codes
    var lo:Loader;
    var mc:MovieClip = new MovieClip();
    this.addChild(mc);
    function loadSomeFile(url:String) {
    lo= new Loader();
    this.addChild(lo);
    lo.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,
    movieLoaded);
    lo.load(new URLRequest(url));
    function movieLoaded(evt:Event) {
    this.removeChild(mc);
    mc = MovieClip(lo.content);
    this.removeChild(lo);
    this.addChild(mc);
    lo=null;
    btn1_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,load1);
    function load1(evt:MouseEvent) {
    loadSomeFile("l1.swf");
    btn2_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,load2);
    function load2(evt:MouseEvent) {
    loadSomeFile("l2.swf");
    create swf files l1 and l2 and then preview main
    first try btn1_btn and then try btn2_btn you will see after
    unloading l1 and loading l2 event listeners will continue their
    jobs!!!!!!!
    after loading l1 ev

    did you checked what you write in adobe devnet?
    you said i must null loader but i not only did it but also
    unloaded that before but event continue his life
    i think it is not error of loader class it is gc error for
    another example of it's errors try this create 2 frame fla file
    add one symbole in frame 2 and then add event listener to
    enterframe event of symbol
    with two button add navigation for going to frames one and
    two
    you will see each time you enter frame 2 another
    eventlistener will add to symbol and for example if your listener
    rotate symbol by one degree you will see each time speed will
    increase because each of them rotate object 1 degree
