System files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.

WHAT SHOULD I DO MORE TO GET MY FILES BACK IN THE FCP FORMAT ?

A ROUND-ABOUT PROBLEM
RECENTLY I GRADUATED FROM. FCE AND FCE HD. I DECIDED TO INSTALL FCP 5. I HAVE POWER BOOK G4 V10.4.8, PROCESSOR 1.5 GHZ PC SDRAM WITH INTERNAL MEM 80 DISK STORAGE AND 1 GB DDR SDRAM. I ALSO HAVE AN EXTERNAL LaCIE WITH 200 CAPACITY.
IN THE PROCESS OF INSTALLING FCP, THE STUPID THING I DID WAS TO CHANGE NAME OF THE MEDIA FILE, AND THIS ACTION CAUSED ALL MY FILES GO OFFLINE. THE OPTIONS GIVEN TO ME BY THE RECONNECT FILLES TABLE BOX TO GET BACK MY FILES ARE:I TRIED TO USE BOTH BUT WITH NO SUCCESS.
I WOULD BE GRATGEFUL TO ANY ONES WHO COULD HELP ME RECOVER MY FILES WITHOUT GOING INTO THE PAIN OF CAPTURING THEM FROM TAPE.
FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO HAVE THE PATIENCE PLEASE READ MOR BELOW. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
WHEN I TRY I GET A WARNING WHICH SAYS:
THE FILE FORMAT OF THIS PROJECT IS FROM AN EARLIER VERSION. WOULD YOU LIKE TO UPDATE THIS PROJECT?
NOTE: ONCE SAVED, THIS FILE CANNOT BE OPENED BY PREVIOUS VERSION. TO AVOID OVERWRITING THE ORIGINAL PROJECT FILE , YOU CAN CHOOSE SAVE PROJECT AS FROM THE FILE MENU WHEN PROJECT UPDATING IS COMPLET
WHEN I SAY YES, ANOTHER BOX APPEARS: UPDATE PROJECT. IT SAYS THE FOLLOWING:
THIS PROJECT CONTAINS ONE OR MORE SEQUENCES WHICH THIS VERSION OF FINAL PRODUCT PRO CAN RENDER WITH MOTION TAP QUALITY(NAMELY SCALIBG, ROTATION, ETC). PLEASE CHOSE A SCALING QUALITY TO USE (“FASTEST” RECOMMENDED IS THE QUALITY LEVEL 4.5.
NEW QUALIT Y CHICKED INSIDE THE BOX ARE: BEST, NORMAL, FASTEST OR LINEAR . THE UNCHECKED LITTLE BOX READS: REMOVE EXISTING FILES (THIS ACTION IN NOT UNDOABLE
WHEN I PRESS OK “OFFLINE FILES” BOX APPEARS AND SAYS:
SOME OF THE MEDIA OF YOUR PROJECT REFERENCES EITHER CHANGED, MOVED, OR GONE AWAY.YOU CAN EITHER RECONNECT THESE FILES , OR CONTINUE WITH THEM BEING OFFLINE. BELOW THIS SAYS AS FOLLOWS:
FORGET FILES. BELOW THAT THERE IS AN UNCHED BOX WHICH SAYS: MEDIA FILES 69 OFFLINE
WHEN I PRESS CONNECT INSTEAD OF CONTINUE , THE RECONNECT FILLES BOX OPENS AND 69 OFFLINES FILES APPEAR. IN THIS RECONNECT FILES BOX THERE ARE 2 SECTIONS
THE 1ST SECTION HAS A LITTLE UNCHECKED SKIP FILE BOX AND ANOTHER LITTLE CHECKED BOX WHICH READS: SEARCH SINGLE LOCATION. WHEN I OPEN IT TWO OPTIONS ARE GIVEN AS FOLLOWS:
MACINTOSH HD: USERS WITH MY NAME AND DOCUMENT
LaCILE:FINAL CUT PRO DOCUMENTS; AUTO SAVE VAULT WITH THE TITLE OF MY FILE
WHEN I PRESS RECONNECT I GET THE FALLOWING PATH :
MY NAME.>MACINTOSH HD >APTS FCT 5 >GRAY FILES
WHEN I CHANGE THE SHOW BOX TO REVEAL FILES .I GET OFFLINE
WHEN I ADD RESEACH, IT TAKES ME TO THE A CHOOSE A FOLDER WITH THE FOLLOWING PATH:
MY NAME>LACIE DISK>FINAL CUT DOCUMENT >FOLDER >GRAY FILES WHICH CANNOT BE RVEALD., AND WHICH I CANNOT CHOOSE. IT GOES ON AND ON IN A CIRCLE WITHOUT HELPING ME TO GET MY FILES IN FCP FORMQAT.
WHAT SHOULD I DO MORE TO GET MY FILES BACK IN THE FCP FORMAT WITHOUT BEING STUCK TO OFFLINE FILES FOR EVER? YOUR STEP BY STEP TO WALK ME THROUGH TO REESTABLISH MY FILES WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED.

A round-about problem
I thank you all for your very kind replies. I have rewritten my issue in lower case as suggested by all of you. I hope I will be helped.
Recently, I thought I had graduated from final cut express and final cut express HD when . I decided to install final cut pro. Perhaps a wishfull thinking!
I have a power book g4 v 10.4.8, processor 1.5 ghz sdram with internal memory of 80 storage disk and 1 gb ddr sdram. I also have an external LaCie with a 200 storage capacity.
In the process of installing final cut pro, I stupidly changed the name of the media file. Maybe this action caused all my clips, video and audio, files go offline. The options given to me by the Reconnect Files Table , to get my files back, are : Single Search Location and Search.
I tried and tried both with no success. I would be grateful to any ones who might be able to help me to recover my clips without going through the pain of recapturing them from the tape. There are several tapes to be recaptured.
Now, for those of you who may have the patience, please read more below to see what I have gone through.
When I try to get to the files, I get the first warning: “The file of this project is from an earlier version. Would like to update this project?” And then it continues: “Note, once saved, this file cannot be opened by previous version. To avoid overwriting the original project file , you can choose Save Project As from the File Menue when the project updating is complete”. (It was at this point where I changed the files names formatted by the previous versions).
When I say Yes, another box appears: Update Project. It reads as follows:
“This project contains one or more sequences which this version of Final Cut Pro can render with Motion Tap (i.e. scalable, rotation, etc). Please choose a scalable quality (“fastest” recommended is the quality level 4.5. New Quality checked inside the little Box are: Best. Normal Fastest or linear." I choose Normal. The unchecked little Box reads: "Remove existing files ( this action is not undoable, it says”.
(By the way, in my project no sequences, have been set up as yet; they are all clips inside the bins with red slash in all clips).
When I press OK, “Offline Clips” Box opens and says the following:
“Some of the media of your project references either changed, moved, or gone away. You can either Reconnect these files, or Continue with them being Offline”. Below this it continues:
“Forget files.” Below that there is an unchecked box which says: “Media Files 69 Offline”.
When I press Connect instead of Continue, the Reconnect Files Box opens with 69 Offline files. In this Reconnect Files Box there are two sections’
The first section has a little unchecked Skip Files Box and another little checked Box which reads: “Search Single Location”.
When I open it, two paths are given to recover my files:
My name>LaCie> Final Cut Document>Folder>Gray files which cannot be revealed, and which I cannot open. I go on and onl ike a checken without a head in a circle without being able to get to the files off Offline.
I have the same problem with the second path: My name>Macintosh HD>FCP 5>gray files.
What should I do more to get my clip files back in the FCP format without being stuck to Offline files for ever?
I am new to this field and enjoy what I am doing. I am old, and sometime my head goes off. Your expert step by step walking me through to reestablish my file linkage with Media would be greatly appreciated. Thank you all and have a nice holiday. Faruk Sabet

Your redemption code was used to acquire an activation code. The activation code is what you need to use when you want to reinstall/enable the software again. Check your Adobe account online to see if the number(s) can be found there.

How to get offline files back open?

How do I get my files back from being "offline" in my multitrack session? I by mistake closed a few files and now when I open them again in my media browser they still show as "offline" and cant' seem to get them back open to work with them again. I didn't delete anytying, why are they still showing offline ifI opened up the original file I used again?

Once you've got the file(s) back into the file area with the session file, go to Clip>Link Media. Or if there are a lot of original files, Link All Media.

Elements 12 organiser has changed all raw files to jpeg - how do I get raw files back?

Cannot edit raw files as Elements (12) seems to have changed them all to jpegs - can anyone let me know how to get raw files back?

Hello Jim,
Many thanks for your response. Wondering if we did something in Elements preferences? Usually, when thumbnails are opened in the editor, it’s a raw file to work on. However, all the thumbnails, when opened in the editor, are all of a sudden opening as jpegs …. not raw. o it looks as though all the raw files are now jpegs, and we don’t know how to get them back.
Any help you can offer will be gratefully received, as my husband works on his photos in Elements and it’s driven him mad!
Many thanks & regards.

Can I get my files back after emptying my trash

can I get my files back after emptying my trash

Try DataRescue3. You can download a demo that will scan your drive and tell you what it finds. If it finds deleted files that can be recovered, you can purchase the app and recover the files. I have used it, and it works great.
Note: when you empty the trash, the files are not actually erased, the pointers to the files are simply deleted from the disk directory/catalog. As long as the actual locations of the files are not overwritten by something new, the files are usually recoverable. So, the best thing to do is not save anything new until you have recovered what you just deleted.
Further note: if you did Secure Empty Trash or Erase Free Space after deleting files, then the deleted files are actually overwritten with 0's and they are not recoverable.

My macbook air has randomly wiped itself clean how do i get my files back?

i have been on vacation when i got back home i opened my mac and it had been completely wiped clean any suggestions on how to get my files back?

Then you have a problem...
Did anyone else have access to it while you were gone? Exactly what state was it in when you fired it up? They can't just spontaneously wipe themselves.

I deleted my files and emptied the trash. can i get the files back?

I deleted my files and emptied the trash. Can I get my files back?

Maybe...
If you have a removable battery, remove the battery and the power.
If not, hold down the power button until the screen goes back and you are forced to restart the Mac entirely from the power button (do not respond to any shut down window.
Either way, files may reappear in the trash, or where they were located.
If not, you'll probably need a data recovery program*:

Thank you. After two system restores and three program removals using the control panel I got itunes back. I would feel better if Apple would include items you don't need options in installs so that the constant checking for what is not there would not create problems. For me it was MobileMe associations. I never would have thought of Bonjour and (Quicktime - which I don't even use but did not remove just in case)
Again, Thanks!.

How can I get specific files back from my Time Machine backup?

I wanted to make a fresh install on my MacBook Pro, in order to only have Java 8 instead of any older Java versions. So far so good. But now I want to get specific files/libraries from my external backup (USB):
One Parallels Virtual Machine
My old mail
My iPhoto Library
I don't need any settings for these, since I can easily configure them again.
I already used the Migration Assistent to restore all apps.
How can I get specific data back from the backup without restoring all stuff that I don't want anymore?

You will want to add the same User account(s) which hold the data you want to restore. So you will want to add a User account of 'Hans or hans'. Check your Time Machine back up drive to see how the User account is labeled (Hans or hans). Navigate to the Users folder and see how it's labeled.
You can then use your Time Machine back up drive and navigate to the User Home folder to copy its data over (e.g. contents from Documents, Downloads, Music, Pictures, etc.). Repeat for other Users.

How do I get a file BACK to camera raw in CS5?

I worked on a file in camera raw, and accidentally pressed enter (well, I actually pressed it on purpose, thinking that would just accept the action I was working on), which sent the file to PS. I wanted to continue working on the file in camera raw, but I can't figure out how to get the raw file back to camera raw.
Help please.

One way was given above.Other way --go to Bridge & right click thumbnail and clear Develop settings.That is it.
Basically ,pl note that all changes made in Raw are stored in XMP file that is generated beside the original one.No Changes are made in Raw file.Open Bridge Keep track of one thumnail and delete its XMP file in explorer.The moment u delete the XMP file , ur thumbnail is restored to original. U have the same non-destuctive nature in Lightroom also but in a different fashion.Since ur question is basic now, U are going to enjoy RAW editing after going deep into it.Have a nice learning

Accidentally hit the 'trim comp to work area'. Now I can't get my files back into comp timeline.

I'm using After Effects CC on my macpro. When going to add a shot to the render queue, I accidentally hit the 'trim comp to work area' and didn't notice what had happened until I went to go back to work on other shots. I tried to hit Control Z but it was too late it seemed and it wouldn't go back to how it was. i tried resetting the length of the comp and putting the files back, but no use. Tried making a new comp and copy and pasting all the files in the side panel of my orig comp, but nothing. Tried re-adding the same file from the project window and copying and pasting the effects keyframes from the orig shot to the new one but they didn't line up properly.
I still have all the files in the comp side panel but can't seem to get them back into the now extended timeline. I still have all the effects I've been doing for the past 3 weeks, but can't do anything to get them into a position where I can continue to manipulate them.
I've searched a bunch of forums and can't find this problem anywhere.
Have I lost all my work? Please help.

It appears that you've pushed those layers into negative time, which you can't view in the Timeline. To get the layers back into the Timeline view, you'll need to move the layers in time with keyboard shortcuts. I assume that you've got your layers arranged in an edit, and you want to preserve their relationships, so do the following:
Select all of the layers.
Hold down Alt/Option+Shift and press Page Down until the layers are visible. This shortcut moves layers 10 frames later in time. Removing Shift moves them 1 frame at a time. Using Page Up instead of Page Down will move them earlier in time.
Another useful pair of shortcuts is [ and ], which set the in or out points of the select layer(s) to the current time. But you probably don't want to use those shortcuts in this case because you'll lose the time relationships of your edit.

Deleted and resized bootcamp partition. How can I get my files back?!?!?

So I used a Windows partition for months and decided to switch back to Mac.
I backed up most of my files and then deleted the partition with the Mac Boot Camp Assistant. Then resized it back to 500gb.
I soon realized that there are some very important files which I forgot to backup off the windows partition.
I REALLY need these files back, please tell me there is SOME WAY I can recover those files.
PLEASE HELP!

Hi Yale,

HOWTO: get those files back from FileVault

Hi,
An update of OS X on my MacBook became unstable, and I was no longer able to get to a login screen. Panic rising ....
My files (read: my research from the past two months) were locked with FileVault. (I now would recommend against keeping FileVault on most of the time.) So when I put the MacBook in target disk mode using another Mac, I saw absolutely nothing in my home directory. Panic rising ....
I call up AppleCare, and they were very helpful and polite, but after a few hours they did not see a way around the problem. Panic maximum! Begin doomsday plan-making for life after loss of precious data.
Eventually, after about 24 hours of fretting and wishing I could have those two months of my life back, I tried the following absurdly simple instructions. For this, you need is your troubled Mac, an untroubled Mac, and a FireWire cable. (If you don't have these items, my experience is that the people at the Mac store will probably let you use theirs for at least a little while ...)
1. Startup your troubled Mac in single-user mode. (Hold command-s immediately after pressing the power on, till you see a black screen with tons of text.) This will take you into a text-y environment.
(If you are afraid of text-y environments, don't worry: things are set up so you can't do much harm unless you're really trying.)
2. Type "mount -uw /" at the prompt (without the quotation marks, of course).
3. If nothing particularly dramatic happens (e.g., it thinks for a bit and then gives you another prompt, that means there's still hope.
4. Type "cd /Users".
5. Type "ls".
6. You should see all the users, and maybe a few directories called ".username" or the like.
7. Look in your home directory for a file called "yourusername.sparseimage" ("cd yourusername"; "ls").
8. If it ain't there (and I guess it probably won't be), look in the directory called ".yourusername" ("cd ../.yourusername"; "ls"). If it's there, you are in pretty good shape.
9. If not, keep looking though all those directories till you find it. If you can't find it this way, that's probably a bad sign. Let me assume instead that you did find it, in a directory called "somewhere".
(Let me point out that if you like text-y environments, you might be inclined to try to mount the spareimage in single-user mode by piping your password in. This doesn't seem to work, and I don't really know why not.)
10. Now type "reboot". When the machine reboots, press and hold the t key till you see the floating symbol. This enters you into target disk mode. Use your FireWire cable to hook your machine up to your working Mac.
10. On your untroubled Mac, the volume for your troubled machine will be named something like "Macintosh HD 1", to distinguish it from the hard disk of the non-defunct computer. Whatever the name is, remember it! Let's call it "DefunctVolumeName".
11. Open the volume in Finder.
12. Now look to see if your directory "somewhere" shows up in Finder under "Users". If it does, great! It probably won't, though, and that's OK!
13. If you're like me, you found "yourusername.sparseimage" in a directory called ".yourusername", which Finder doesn't show you. That's because it's a secret. Whatever the name of the folder was, click on "Go" and then on "Go to Folder..."
14. In the window, type "/Volumes/DefunctVolumeName/Users/somewhere", using the information you learned from the above experiments.
15. Out of nowhere, your hidden folder appears, hopefully containing the sparseimage file you found when you were tooling around in Single-user mode.
16. Open that sparseimage file. The machine will ask you for a password, and you should type it. The machine will warn you of instability as a result of mounting that sparseimage file, but, hey, do you want your files or not?
17. Get those files off!
18. Say thanks to your favorite deity.
When you write it out this way, it doesn't look like a particularly clever trick, but this one stupefied me, the techies at the Mac Store, and the folks on AppleCare.
I hope this helps someone!!!

If you also backed up to your computer - you can restore from that backup - to retrieve the files. As far as I know- that should have no bearing on deleting them from iCloud - they should still be in that backup.
If you used iOS file sharing with your computer - and saved the files to your computer - you can retrieve them from there.
if the only place that the files were saved to was iCloud, I know of no way to get them back.
