Can I recover a previously saved version of a file?

I'm working in CS3.
I opened a file (saved as #3) and used it as a template for a new design, but before saving the new design with a new file name (that would be #4) I accidently hit the save shortcut. I do not have enough undos to go back to how #3 originally was. I have kept the file open.
How can I get #3 back?
Many thanks.

I can open it in reader as the original #3 art too...
Whaaa? How is that possible if you had already hit save in Illustrator (which would have overwritten your original #3)?
If somehow you are seeing what you want in Reader, quickly do a 'Save a Copy.' The resulting PDF might not give you fully editable Illustrator objects, but it might let you salvage some of the work.

  • Can I recover an older saved version of a file?

    I had a file with recorded audio in GarageBand. I later took the same file, and deleted the old audio information, and accidentally saved it again without doing save as, thus losing the original version of the file. Is there any way to recover the earlier version?
    Thanks

    Actually, recovery is impossible because the original data would be overwritten with the current data. It would be a different situation if the original file was left intact, copied, then the copy modified, then the original file mistakenly erased.

  • Why can't I change to size of my test in emails now? CanI go back to previous email version. This one is horrible!!!

    Why can't I change to size of my test in emails now? CanI go back to previous email version. This one is horrible. On my last update I was able to easilt find old emails now they disappear!!!! WTF?
    This version cannot change the text size Do I have to go back to IE?

    Which email site do you use?
    And some general advice:
    When you have a problem with one particular site, a good "first thing to try" is clearing your Firefox cache and deleting your saved cookies for the site.
    (1) Bypass Firefox's Cache
    Use Ctrl+Shift+r to reload the page fresh from the server.
    Alternately, you also can clear Firefox's cache completely using:
    "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced
    On the Network mini-tab > Cached Web Content : "Clear Now"
    If you have a large hard drive, this might take a few minutes.
    (2) Remove the site's cookies (save any pending work first). While viewing a page on the site, try either:
    * right-click and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"
    In the dialog that opens, you can remove the site's cookies individually.
    Then try reloading the page. Does that help?

  • I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi.

    I am trying to download the latest version of iTunes to my PC (windows XP) and I keep getting an error message or two. One is that it can't uninstall the previous itunes version, the other is that it can't find itunes.msi. I have tried removing  the old version in add/remove programs, but it says the same error. I tried deleting every thing that has itunes in the file/folder/etc and it didn't help.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    (2) Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?

  • Is iTunes 11.1.5 compatible with Mac OSX 10.6.8? If not how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    Problem: Recently when I open iTunes it doesn't work; the little pinwheel just keeps spinning.
    I have tried leaving it on, as suggested by another user, for over 12 hours. I didn't work.
    I think the new iTunes version, 11.1.5, is not compatible with the operating system; Mac OSX 10.6.8. If this is so, how can I restore the previous iTunes version?

    You need to be updated to iTunes 11.2.2.
    You might want to consider running the combo updater over your install to refresh your files.
    Combo updater: Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update v.1.1 - 1.09 GB
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    After running the combo updater, select Software Updater and update iTunes.
    If iTunes fails to open after updating, hold down the Option key when launching iTunes. It will ask you to locate your iTunes Library.
    Note: I've seen users with their iTunes Library on an external drive spin like this when the drive was failed to be seen in Disk Utility. Run Repair Drive on the external drive to fix this issue.

  • Can I retrived an auto-saved version of a project after opening the saved version by accident?

    Can I retrived an auto-saved version of a project after opening the saved version by accident?

    Unfortunately, no.
    Opening the (last) "Saved" version after a crash automatically discards the contents of the (invisible) autosave folder.

  • HOw do i revert to a previously saved version of a document?

    How do i revert to a previously saved version of a document? I have no idea how, but i closed and saved a document and the whole thing when reopened was blank (all 26 pages) apart from the last 4 pages id just added b4 saving. How do i get it back? Matter of life or death as hand in is tomorrow. thanks

    Have you backed up the document? For example, by using Time Machine. If you have then just need to restore the document from an earlier date (ie the latest date before 26 pages were deleted).
    If you haven't backed up the document then you're in trouble. The File > Revert to Saved menu command only undoes changes you made since the last time you saved your document.  As you saved the document with the 26 pages missing, choosing Revert will not get the 26 pages back.

    Just wondering peter what you think, instead of output to pdf you copy and then create create new file in photoshop and paste into that file. Is that sort of the same thing?
    Seems to be ok especially if you enlarge the object before you copy it into photoshop.
    I think what you are pasting (never bothered to try this) is just the screen preview, hence the need to enlarge. Why would you waste your time doing that instead of exporting to a high-res PDF?

  • Firefox downloads previously downloaded versions of zipped files rather than current version.

    On a website I manage, I downloaded a zipped MS Word file. After making changes to the file and uploading the modified file to my server, Firefox still downloads the old version of the zipped file. In fact, if I rename the file (so the link now points to a file that no longer exists on the server), the previously downloaded version of the file is STILL sent. I've used two methods (FireFTP and the server company's file manager) to rename the file, and the non-existent file is still sent.

    I did reload the page (using all the methods you suggested), but still the old file. You mentioned bypassing the cache; is that something different than clearing the cache?
    I don't think this is Firefox specific; the same thing is happening with IE. I'm also working with the server company to see if the problem is at their end.

  • Need to reinstall Photoshop CS2 but it can't find a previously installed version so won't reinstall

    Photoshop CS2 told me there was a "major problem" and that I would need to reinstall the software to continue using it.
    So I used the installer CD, but it told me it could not install because there was already a copy installed, which would need to be removed.
    So I removed the old version and tried to reinstall but now it tells me it needs a previously installed version in order to reinstall.
    Adobe "customer service"chat  is 100% useless on this, referred me to the 800 #, been on hold for over 45 miinutes now, and no relevant topics found on "help" forums.
    For a multibillion dollar monopoly, you'd think they could hire a couple of customer service reps but I guess it's all DIY "support" here, so can anyone help?

    So, you are NOT trying to reinstall an upgrade, but a purchased version (not in an upgrade path from one version to the next)?
    If that is correct, there should be no request for a "previously installed version." That only appears when one is installing an upgrade.
    Are you installing from physical media (a DVD), or from a download?
    Sorry, I do not have an answer for you.
    Good luck,

  • I am using 10.7.4.  How can I stop Preview from saving versions.

    In Lion, 10.7.4 Prieview was changed to use Versions.  This means the previous options of SaveAs is no longer available.
    I want to be able to open a file in Preview and SaveAs (now Export) my changes, without having Preview then save those changes in the original file when I close the window.  I know that I can use Revert to get back to the original, but is is time consuming and annoying to have to do so.  How can I stop Lion from using versions??

  • How do I find a previously saved version of a doc

    I have spent over 5 hours on a doc that I opened in Pages this morning and was previously saved on my desktop. I have been saving it - like I always do - with apple + S BUT when I went to email this doc I just thought I should check it. It has nothing of my last 5 hours work on it.
    Through the tears of frustration and bewilderment I have looked at and opened previous copies that were listed in Pages (right click on Pages and it shows previous versions of the doc) BUT none of them have my stuff on.
    I don't know where else to look. I KNOW I saved it. It's an assignment and I saved it after I answered EVERY question. *cue more tears*
    The prospect of spending another 5 hours on this is  .... well, let's just say I would rather find my previously saved copy that has just disappeared.
    Any help would be most appreciated

    Arantha,
    Click the document name at the top of the Pages window and choose Browse Versions. See if any of your late changes are there. Also, use Finder to search for files with a similar name, since it's possible that your latest changes were made to a copy of the document and you may be able to find that copy if that's the case.
