Does PSE 10 save files automatically if my computer crashes/shuts down suddenly?

Hi, I was drawing out the base lines for a painting I am making with Photoshop Elements 10, when I left briefly. I think my computer decided it wanted to do updates suddenly, and it shut down everything. When I rebooted my computer and re-opened PSE 10, I couldn't find the file. Of course, I'm an idiot and neglected to "save as" before I left the room because someone in my house required my immediate attention.
Does PSE 10 save your project at all if suddenly your computer shuts down or crashes? If so, then how to I find those files? Or am I screwed? Because I liked how it was turning out and I had spent a lot of time to get to the point I was at before my computer decided it hated itself. So, I'd really like to get that file back...
Thank you.

No, unfortunately there is no autosave in PSE.

Where does 3.0 save synched Notes on the computer?

Where does 3.0 save synched Notes on the computer?
thanks

Solved now thanks to another discussion.
Attempting to sync brought up a message 'Syncing Notes' but I couldn't find them.
A terminal search revealed no sign of Notes.mbox in my ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes folder even after multiple sync attempts. I had a look to see if there was a Notes.imapmbox there as well, as IMAP mailboxes have a different suffix but that wasn't there either.
The poster advised taking the following steps (first make sure that you have Sync notes checked in the Info tab of iTunes:
1. eject the iPhone from iTunes and disconnect it from the USB port
2. force quit iTunes using Command-Q
3. switch off the iPhone completely
4. reboot the iPhone
5. re-connect the iPhone via the USB port
6. allow the sync to take place
I had my ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes folder open in a Finder window and shortly after the sync, up popped Notes.mbox. I still didn't see anything under Reminders in Mail but I selected Mailbox/Rebuild in Mail and now I have Notes available under Reminders. I have five active email accounts, each with a Notes folder available, but the one note I had left after losing all the originals during one of my sync attempts appears under On My Mac.
To be honest, now I have got it working, I'm not sure how much use it is so I doubt if I will use it. I had thought that it would sync via Mobile Me and that there would be a desktop application to go with the iPhone one, or it would be integrated into iCal.

HT4889 when using migration does it copy the files to the new computer or transfer (leaving the files only on the new computer)?

It leaves them on the old computer. Nothing will be changed on it.

My computer is shutting down before fully booting up. I am running the disk utilities program and have this message: Error: Disk Utility can't repair this disk . . . disk, and restore your backed-up files. Can anyone suggest what I should do next?

So, you can't Install OSX to the external?
Or you can't boot from it when you do?
You're not the only one wondering... I'm reminded of the Goose that laid the Golden Egg story.

Try booting to the Recovery drive, running Disk Utility and Repair disk and Repair Permissions.
1. Reboot and immediately hold down command and R (two keys).
2. When you see the screen shown on this page, select Disk Utility and continue.
3. When DU is running, select the hard drove on the left, First Aid and Repair Disk.
4. After Repair Disk, click Repair Permissions.
Quit DU and restart.

Why does the Downloads Save files to Browse button do nothing when pressed?

I'm trying to download a couple of different files from a couple of different web sites. I see the "Opening {filename}" dialog box with the "Would you like to save this file?" question and the Save File button, but nothing happens when I click on the Save File button except that the dialog box closes.
When I go into Tools/Options General tab, I select the "Save files to" button, and when I click on the Browse button to choose a directory, nothing happens.
It appears I can no longer download files.

Please disregard. My "My Documents" folder is mapped to a file server on the network, and for some reason the last time I logged in, I was denied access to that network resource. I logged out and logged back in again, and I am able to download successfully.
D'oh.

Firefox does not save my tabs or sessions when I shut down my computer

To be more clear:
Yes, I have set my options to "show windows and tabs from last time".
No, I did not check "clear memory on shut down" or "start private session"
Also, it saves my tabs when I restart the browser, but when I shut down my computer and start up again, Firefox does not show my tabs from last time. The same thing happens with sites I've logged onto before; it logs me out after I shut down my computer.

Did you check the "Clear Recent History" settings to be sure cthat you do not clear the Browser history and the cookies?

My mac froze and shut down. Is there a way to retrieve unsaved files?, My mac froze and shut down. Is there a way to retrieve unsaved files?

My mac froze then shut down. Is there a way to retrieve my unsaved files?

It depends what you are using, you haven't told us, and whether you ever saved in the first place which you also haven't told us.
In OSX Lion (OSX 10.7) Pages will have auto-saved after the initial save and reopening the file will take you back to the last save.
Prior to Lion you would only have the last saved version. Utilities like ForEverSave would have auto-saved for you or you would need to manually save with command s.
If your whole Mac froze and it wasn't a battery issue in a laptop, then I would try and determine the reason as this should not be happening.

Does OS X Yosemite perform Safe Sleep on battery drain shut down?

I remember with Lion, and I think Mavericks, one of the best features of the MacBook Pro was an auto recovery mode, which I believe to be named "safe sleep."
After the warnings for low battery, the computer will noticeably slow (I can also see the processor speed ramp up in my iStat menu toolbar). I forget what the app is called that causes this, but I know it's the computer saving everything to the "safe sleep" mode.
After the computer has fully shut down on its own (from low battery), and after the computer is plugged back in and the power button hit, the computer restarts with a grayed out screen of my desktop as it was before shutting down with a small bar that loads. After the bar is loaded, the computer is back to its state before the shutdown.
This safe sleep mode recovers non-apple software sessions (photoshop files, autocad files) as well as apple software like safari and iTunes, as if nothing happened.
I had to explain this first because I can't find anywhere on the Apple Support Communities the name of this feature (that I believe to be called Safe Sleep), its function, or when it works and when it doesn't, etc.
So:
My question is whether or not OS X Yosemite has this automatic Safe Sleep mode?
Thanks.

It's called Hibernation, and yes, Yosemite has it.

G5 shuts down suddenly, does not reboot anymore

Hi,
I was just surfing the web, suddenly G5 shuts down, as if you would pull the plug.
If I press the power button, it won't reboot. I hear the apple startup chime, and about 5 seconds later, it shuts down again.
Nothing appears on the screen.
I've done this already:
- open the lid, removed some dust
- try to boot with all other hardware disconnected
- try to boot from FW800 lacie external HDD, with a recent clone of my system drive (made with Carbon Copy Cloner)
- take out battery for half hour
no results, still startup chime - then dead.
So I guess:
it should be a hardware error, since it won't boot from the external FW drive.
So it is probably the power supply or the motherboard.
correct? any other suggestions, that I can try before taking it to Apple repair service?
( I had a dead powersupply in 2007 in the same machine, costed me +300 euro)
Any help is appreciated.
Regards, A.C.

UPDATE:
happiness didn't last very long.
My G5 has worked well again for just one day.
After running well 8 hours or so, I had a freeze, couldn't do anything, besides pushing the button for 5 seconds to power off, and reboot again. Four hours later it fell out again, while I was doing something else. First thought it had fallen asleep, but then I didn't see the "breathing" light. Tried to boot again, same problem as explained in my first post: startup chime, automatic shut down after 5 sec.
First of all, I forgot to mention that I did not take apart the G5 to take out the PSU. I just blew it out through the grid, on both sides a few times, until I saw no more dust coming out.
So, when the G5 died again yesterday night, I figured, maybe there was some dust left in the PSU, in some place hard to reach while blowing through the grid? Maybe the fans spinned the whole day blowing the remaining dust back where it was before?
So I just spent my evening, carefully disassembling the whole thing, expecting to find more dust.
It wasn't easy at all, starting with the plastic pin holding the CPU cover, which was a real pain in the *** to remove. Some cursing occured. The "cup hook trick" worked in the end, although it wasn't easy. The plastic plug is fubar, but I understand it's not really necessary to put it back.
Also the Allen screws holding the CPU's where quite hard to reach (you need a 15cm T10 torx).
Anyway, got the job done, and was surprised when I opened the lid of the power supply.
No dust in there !?! Hmmm.... there goes my little theory!
Now everything is taken apart, I will blow it out one more time tomorrow at work (don't have a air compressor here at home), but I must say, I don't have a lot of hope left.
If anyone here has reasons to believe it might not be the PSU, please let me know what else it could be, or what I can try.
Oh, one more thing: when I mailed the nearest Apple Repair service centre, (Switch Shop, Gent, Belgium) they replied: "Dear Customer, For these devices Apple provides no more parts. Therefore, your model can no longer be repaired." They didn't even answer my question, if they could measure out and determine if it really is the PSU that is the culprit.
Great. Mac Pro (2770 euro): no more apple support after 7 years, maybe less. Failure? too bad, sort it out yourself. - Or even better: buy a new mac!
Yeah right. I will eventually, but only because I hate windows, and I like the elegance of the Mac OS.
Anyway I found out that buying a second-hand G5 locally, is probably cheaper than a refurb / new PSU + shipping costs. On the other hand: how long will that one last.
Doubts, doubts. headache.

Why does all the apps - default and the ones I downloaded - shut down by themselves repeatedly?

For the past few days, every single one of my apps seems to shut down by themselves, as soon as I try to open them. I can try to open them several times in a go but still the same thing. Even restarted my phone a few times and deleted the background app, which usually works...
Also it doesn't save any of my photos or theres a plain grey 'picture' with 'JPEG' on it. Moreover, on my camera roll, when I tap a photo to enlarge it, none of them focuses, so all them are blurry. I can't seem to send messages either: that said I usually get all my notifications shown on my lock screen, but lately it doesn't show at all.
Another thing, my phone keeps repeatedly buzzing when there is no notification - or email - shown either on the lock screen and/or home screen.
Please help! I'm running out of options what to do!

Your best bet is to back up your device to iCloud or iTunes, then reset your device to Factory Settings (Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Content & Settings, but do not restore it from the backup. Add your apps back onto your phone one at a time (download them from iTunes in the Cloud by tapping on the App Store icon, then on Updates>Purchased>All, then click on one or two apps and download them and see if the problem persists.
Continue to download apps to see if you start running into the issue again at any point. If you are able to get all the apps downloaded and functioning without any issues, then reset the device back to factory settings, and then restore it from your backup, and see if the issues starts up again.
If it does start up again, then there is something in your backup that is corrupted, and your best bet at that point is to "rebuild" your device from Factory Settings rather than to keep the backup on your device.
Cheers,

Retreiving files from iPod post-computer crash

My G5 crashed last week and so I had to reinstall all applications. My iPod however still has all of the files from my library pre-crash... how can I retreive them?! I have tried the manual transfer but can't access the iPod's files. Help! Thanks!

The transfer of non iTMS content is designed by default to be one way from iTunes to iPod. However there's a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to your Mac at this link: Two-way Street: Moving Music Off the iPod
If you prefer something more automated there are also a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod, this is just a selection. Have a look at the web pages and documentation for these, they are generally quite straightforward. I use Senuti but check the others out and choose whichever you are happy with.
You can read reviews of some of these here: Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
Senuti Mac Only
iPodRip Mac Only
PodWorks Mac Only
iPod.iTunes Mac Only
PodView Mac Only
iPod Access Mac and Windows Versions
YamiPod Mac and Windows Versions
PodUtil Mac and Windows Versions
iPodCopy Mac and Windows Versions
The transfer of purchased content to an authorised computer has recently been introduced with iTunes 7, for more on this function look under under File>"Transfer Purchases from iPod". A paragraph on it has been added to this article: How to use your iPod to move your music to a new computer

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Eric Steven Raymond
Rick Moen
Write in clear, grammatical, correctly-spelled language
We've found by experience that people who are careless and sloppy writers are usually also careless and sloppy at thinking and coding (often enough to bet on, anyway). Answering questions for careless and sloppy thinkers is not rewarding; we'd rather spend our time elsewhere.
So expressing your question clearly and well is important. If you can't be bothered to do that, we can't be bothered to pay attention. Spend the extra effort to polish your language. It doesn't have to be stiff or formal - in fact, hacker culture values informal, slangy and humorous language used with precision. But it has to be precise; there has to be some indication that you're thinking and paying attention.
Spell, punctuate, and capitalize correctly. Don't confuse "its" with "it's", "loose" with "lose", or "discrete" with "discreet". Don't TYPE IN ALL CAPS; this is read as shouting and considered rude. (All-smalls is only slightly less annoying, as it's difficult to read. Alan Cox can get away with it, but you can't.)
More generally, if you write like a semi-literate b o o b you will very likely be ignored. So don't use instant-messaging shortcuts. Spelling "you" as "u" makes you look like a semi-literate b o o b to save two entire keystrokes.
