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.

  • 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!

  • 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).

  • 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.
    Regards,
    Vinay

  • Auto-Deployment is not working in Eclipse - Weblogic

    I have created weblogic server instance in Eclipse.Then, I have added one project into weblogic server by using "Add/Remove Projects" menu.After I start the server , I logged into admin console and checked the deployments link. I am not finding the project listed in the list.I have selected option "Run stand alone web module directly from work space" in web logic server configuration window in eclipse.
    I am using Eclipse 3.3 and weblogic 10.0.
    I have no idea, why auto-deployment is not working.
    I would appreciate your help on this regard.I have contacted Eclipse Support, they have asked me to contact BEA team.
    Thanks,
    Prakash.A

    Hi Prakash,
    The "Run standalone web module from workspace" doesn't publish the application to the server (instead the app is deployed to a temp location).
    This is mainly to help test the app during the development stages. If your app is complete and would like to publish to the server then you might want to try the following option
    - In Server View, double click on the configuration to launch Overview
    - Select "Copy stand-alone web module into separate deployment folder"
    - Save the configuration
    - Start the server
    The application would be deployed to the server as a WAR file.

  • Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5?

    Auto sync is not working. How can I manually transfer music from my macbook pro iTunes to iphone 5? My iMatch is turned on and I can direct downlad my music to the iPhone from the Cloud; however, I want to direct import All of my music from iTunes to my iPhone 5 via the connecting USB cable and it is not working. Yes, I have tried restarting both devices, and no autosync is not working nor is is it providing the avaialbile option to select music in iTunes on my Mac to then sync. Please help. Thanks

    Please disregard. I figured it out. Answer for anyone else running into this problem: You have to turn off iTunes Match on both devices. Apparently, if you activate iTunes Match it deactivates your abiltiy to direct sync.

    After acceessing home screen with assistive touch auto lock is not working in my iphone 4S after upgrading to ios6

    Additional testing i perform to make wifi work but nothing works out:
    i did re-installing the software using iTunes, reset the network settings restarting the phone. Nothing solves my problem.
    wifi was working with older software versions. i think there should be a problem with 8.1.1.
    is anyone has fix for this issue?

  • Upgraded to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked my info, saved passwords, etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded.

    Upgraded IPad to to 8.3, now auto fill is not working. I have checked, rechecked "my info", "saved passwords", etc. to no avail. Is this bug in 8.3. Never did this until I upgraded. Wife is not happy I upgraded!

    Auto fill works for me in iOS 8.3.
    Try the standard troubleshooting steps in this order:
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10-15 seconds). No data will be lost.
    Restore: Connect your device to iTunes on your computer, backup, and then select Restore to Factory.
    See here for more details on restore: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201252
    If none of these work your device may have developed a hardware problem. Contact Apple Support: http://www.apple.com/contact/

    You only want to do this if your iPhone won't turn on or off and is completely frozen. Instead, try Resetting all settings in Settings > General > Reset > Reset all Settings
    I completely disagree.  Reset All Settings (your suggestion) would reset the OP's preferences and settings.  By contrast, resetting the iPhone (as I suggest) changes no preferences, settings, or any other data.  It simply starts the iPhone over, with no data loss.

    Okay, I did a 'reset all settings' in settings and problems fixed. Hope this can be useful for others.
    Edit: it appears that when the assistive touch is on the autolock function won't work while in the home screen, but will work if opening a app. I hope Apple fixes this bug in the next update.
    I tried what he said and my auto-lock's working again - so, I turned off my Assistive Touch. Hope Apple fixes this bug soon,

  • Versamail Auto-sync feature not working with AOL mail w/Treo 700p (Verizon)

    I'm having a problem with the Auto-sync feature not working with my 700p (verizon) with my aol mail.  It had worked perfect since May 2007.  Just started having problems End of April 2008.  Sounded like I needed another incoming mail server from aol other than:  imap.aol.com, aol told me they also use pop.aol.com, that isn't working either.  I get an error message that says "last auto-sync attempt failed."....Anyone else having this issue?  I'm trying to decide whether to get rid of my aol mail of 14 yrs and use other address to continue using versamail 3.5  or keep aol and use Verizon Wireless sync.  I do not like how wireless sync sends mail to outbox and then syncs vs sending right away.   Please help...
    Post relates to: Treo 700p (Verizon)

    I am having the EXACT same problem: Palm 700p, Versamail, AOL, Verizon. 
    It started about 1 month ago.  The GET still works, but AUTO-SYNC does not...After spending hours on the phone with Palm tech support, and reaching someone who said AOL had changed something in their servers.  They suggested TRYING Chatteremail, another Palm product.  I have tried it for 20+ days out of the 30 days you get for free.  It works pretty well, but NOT every e-mail that goes to my AOL acct is making it to my phone.  The thing that's great about Chatter is that can be "live" all of time.  Not auto-syncing every 15 minutes.
    It's very frustrating....The same way the Versamail just stopping auto-syncing is very frustrating.  With Versamail, sometimes I did not even get the error message.  If Chatteremail worked consistently, I would bite the bullet, and pay for it, but to pay for it, and have it not pull down all the e-mails, all the time is not good.
    I spoke to Palm Tech Support in N. America today, and they say the way AOL uses IMAP servers is in a non-traditional way, and it's very hard to deal with.  They suggest ditching AOL, and using something reliable for syncing purposes like GMAIL.  It's just hard to cut the cord.  The man I was on the phone with knew of my problem, and he solved it by getting rid of AOL.  It's just tough, since so many people have the e-mail address for me. 
    On http://mobile.aol.com/aolproducts/mobile-email/mai​l-client
    there seems to be some indication when you click on Smart Phones on left, that Coming Soon is Palm, but I don't know if that's going to be downloadable for 700p, or Palms moving forward.  Or how far away that is.
    I tried wireless sync and hated it.
    This is really a pain in the butt.
    *** Who did you speak to at AOL? 
    *** How did you reach them?  e-mail?  phone #?
    I also did a search and found another program called "Snappermail", which I might try, and see if it's any better than Chatteremail.

  • Auto hide taskbar not working with iTunes 10.5 & Windows 7

    Anyone else having problems with Auto-hide Taskbar not working when iTunes is open and the active window? Was working fine with previous versions including the beta of 10.5 I had. Is this a general problem or just me? Im using Windows 7 64bit for what its worth.

    Chiming in with the same problem. 64-bit Win 7 Professional, taskbar set to auto-hide, newest version of iTunes (actually uninstalled and reinstalled via the website download earlier today to see if that would fix it; nope). I normally use the Alt+Tab keys to navigate between windows anyway, so it's not inconveniencing me too much, but it's still irritating when I'm trying to use the mouse to switch windows (or check the time) and realize I can't. Definitely fix this one soon. We'll all be very grateful
