Been using a locked file that hasn't saved anything!

For some reaosn a file I was working on changed from an Edited file to a Locked file. I didn't notice because the application allowed me to carry on using this file and adding words. I click Save and no pop-up box appeared saying this wasn't going to save. So, I restart after an update and everything form last 2 weeks has gone.
Is there anyway to retrieve it? I've tried Disk Drill but suspect it's all gone forever because I was effectively adding words to a document and never saving it.
Any help greatfully received.
WHY can you add words to a locked doc?!

Hi masagaadaygbisa ..
Go to the folder [your HD]/library/reciepts and remove the update .. That should help ..

How do I access and use a DNG file that I have saved?

I have saved a NEF file as a DNG file before making any edits in ACR. Because the ACR edits will be reflected in the NEF file when it is opened in Elements, I wanted to have a file that I could edit that did not reflect the ACR edits. I can find the DNG file using Windows Explorer, but I can't seem to open it or make use of it. Any help will be appreciated.

Jim--I really appreciate your help. However, I'm going to be making a DNG file when I want absolute security. I can't find any way to restore the original NEF image in the ACR program than comes with Elements.

I have never used Camera Raw with Photoshop Elements. I haven't used Photoshop Elements since version 2. But I can tell you that in Photoshop and Bridge it is really quite simple. Using Bridge, simply right click on the raw image, and in the context menu there is an option enabling you to clear the settings. It is different from one version to the next, but it is there. I would think that there would be something similar in the Organizer. Otherwise, one surefire way to do it would be to simply open the folder that contains the raw images and delete the XMP files for the image(s).
I just read your message again. What do you mean when you say you are making a DNG file when you want absolute security? That doesn't make sense. Camera Raw never changes your raw image pixels. The original raw data is always there, always. The changes made in Camera Raw are stored as metadata and as such can always be deleted. The same is true with a DNG file, except that metadata is stored inside the DNG file itself. In Camera Raw under Elements there must be a method in the Organizer similar to what I described above.
Then you said you couldn't find a way to restore the original NEF image. Do you mean, literally, the NEF file itself? Or the look of the original file? Are you keeping the NEF files?
I think you are missing the point of using DNG files. Security in and of itself doesn't seem to me a justification for using DNG. You need to reconsider your workflow and what you are trying to accomplish. I'm a little unclear as to what you are trying to do.

☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)

Use Migration Assistant on your new Mac:
Click Continue:
On the next screen, choose your Time Machine backup disk.
Don't bother to migrate Applications unless you know they will work on your new Mac. For example, PowerPC applications won't work. Just migrate your user account which will copy all your photos, music, movies, and other documents.
Note: you will not be able to migrate the information to same account in which you are already logged in. Migration Assistant will tell you that and recommend what to do. It can migrate the information to a new account, but you will have to give it a name you might want to change later. One way around this is to create a temporary account, log in to it, and run Migration Assistant which will replace your normal account. Then, log out of the temporary account, log in to your usual one, verify everyting works as you expect, and delete the temporary one.
All this can be avoided when you set up a brand new Mac by running Setup Assistant which essentially does the same thing to create your new account, but most people are too excited to do that and elect to migrate later.

Why can't I open a FCE project file that I have saved? (It now says ZERO kb

Hello...
I have just started working on a project in Final Cut Express - I render, save, and close out of FCE - but, when I go back to FCE, the project I was working on does not open.
Why can't I open a project file that I have saved?
Here was my process in a nutshell:
~ When I opened FCE, I went the System Preferences and set the Scratch Disks to a folder on my external hard drive.
~Then, I went to File - New Project - worked on the project for a while (including creating bins, importing images and video, and creating a sequence.
~I saved the project file to the same folder that I set my Scratch Disks to.
as often throughout this process.)
~When I was done, I saved again andd closed FCE.
~Then, soon after, I opened FCE again and my project did not open automatically.
~So, I clicked File - Open Recent - browsed to and chose the project file name and FCE gave me a "Unable to open file" message.
~When I check to see if the project file actually saved to my external hard drive, the name appears, but it says the file size is ZERO kb.
I have done this twice with the same unfortunate result. What am I doing wrong? I have worked on FCE on this same computer before, setting the Scratch Disks the same way, and I did not have this problem.
Please help. Thank you so much for your feedback.
...Rae

Are you sure you are trying to open the project file you actually saved ?
Try using Spotlight to search for your project file name. I might be wrong, but I guess you try to open an empty copy while your real project file (what you saved) is somewhere else in either your startup disk (Documents folder ?) or the external drive. If so do not use Open Recent in FCE but simply double click the "real" project file.

What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?

Using Iwork 09 I have spent several hours setting up a mail merge from a spread sheet in Numbers to create receipts for my customers from a Pages template.
After the merge I am left with one long Pages document that will not save as separate files; one per customer, it will only save the whole document of several receipts.
What is the easiest way to get the data from the mailmerge to form Pages files that can be saved separately?
Many thanks in advance.

Mr. Clark,
You will probably be more pleased with the iWork apps when you begin to learn your way around. Until you learn such basic things as how to print only one page of a document, you will probably continue to be disappointed.
Does your Print dialog look like this:
Or like this:
If it looks like the first one, then you will want to click this expander control:

Back up all data.
Triple-click the line of text below to select it, the copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
/Library/Internet Plug-ins
In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Paste (command-V) into the text box that opens, then press return.
From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
I've seen an unconfirmed report that the "Silverlight" web plugin distributed by Microsoft can also interfere with PDF display in Safari, so you might need to remove it as well, if applicable.
If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

Deletting the file that has been used in 'Additional Files' in FILE SENDER

Hi people.
I've developed an interface that has to send a ZIP file to an email address.
I pick that file using a dummy file. This file is picked as an attachment and has been defined in 'additional parameters' of SENDER FILE.
My problem is that i want to delete that 'additional file' once it has been procesed. I think that this could be done running an operating system command.
My problem is that i don't know how to do this in UNIX systems.
Can anyone tell me how to delete (in UNIX) a file with name dummy.zip located in folder /usr/sap.../ ?
Regards,
Inigo

You can probably do this by executing a shell script on the server!
You can only run commands on the PI Server
