How to save thumbnails of lost files?

I have several hundred thumbnails of pictures that have been deleted by mistake.
The original files are no longer on the disk, yet I can view the thumbnails (e.g., 1280 x 960 images),
and in most cases I can enlarge them somewhat in Library,
but I cannot view them in the Develop area, because I get an error message that says, "the file foo.jpg is offline or missing."
These pictures are several years old and of great sentimental value.
Is there any way to save thumbnails as regular pictures on the disk, so that I can Develop them and print them?
Thanks,
Tim

Sean,
GREAT! I was able to recover all of the lost files.
Thanks
-Tim

I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.

How to save downloaded update installer files

How can I locate a downloaded update installer file so I can save it and use to install on another mac without having to download all over again? Today I downloaded updates for OS X and also for Office 2011. The first is over 2GB and the second around 300MB. I have installed on my Macbook Pro, but I have another 3 units to update. I live in a 3rd world country with very slow internet and it takes me days to download such files.

Grateful for you having replied but for some reason I seem unable to open your message "Re: How to save downloaded update installer files". Waikato99

its very important files!

tis true
I know, I always do that but I was in a rush to get somewhere and I was relying on my thousand dollar Mac to do some kind of recovery or something. I know Microsoft always keeps temporary files (I think Mac does too, part of me asking here in this forum was for someone to tell me where I can find those files) and when you go to open Office Works then it gives you the option of opening the last recent documents, saved or not saved.
I usually copy paste into my emial just in case something goes wrong with the created document but I just didn't have the time to login and do all that My loss, you live and you learn, BUT still if ANYONE got any info on this, PLEASE DO CHIME IN *keeping the hope alive*

Looking for Help on How To Save Video as Divx File

Can someone help? I have iMoive 4.0.1 and I need to save video clips as a Divx file. I go to the "share" button and try to compress the clip for Quicktime and choose expert settings. This gives me a list of options including Divx AVI. When I choose this option, the file is turned into an .avi file not a .divx file. ANd there is no other Divx choice available. I have talked to another iMovie user (v4.0.1., too) and--the odd thing--on his option list he has Divx (not Divx AVI). So I need assistance in either finding another way to do this with my existing 4.0.1. or finding a plug-in that will allow me to save as a Divx file. Or--if no one can tell me how to do this--let me ask if anyone out there knows whether iMovie HD 5.0 or iMovie 6.0 would allow me to do what I need to do. Thanks.

Divx isn't a standard option, so you have downloaded some third party support for Divx. Try the latest version.

How to save pictures to a file outside of IPHOTO

How you do you save photos to another file that isn't in Iphoto? I was trying to upload some photos to a webhosting site and I had the hardest time trying to find the library they were in. I ended up dragging the all to the desktop and renaming them.
Is there an easier way to this? I did see the export feature..is that what I use and how do I do multiple photos?
Thanks
CC

Not sure if this is what you're looking for but lets see if I cannot give you some idea.
If you got to \User\yourname\Pictures\iPhoto Library\ Right click iPhoto Library and select Show Package Contents.
In there, you will probably see 2 folders titled "Modified" and "Original"
In those folders, you will see your pictures categorized into Years.
Good luck. Hope thats what you were looking for.

I lost all of my document saved in my previous adobe after I upgrade the itunes, how can I get the lost file?

I Lost of my document saved in my previous adobe after upgraded itunes, can I get the lost file again?

Would you provide more information so that we can troubleshoot the problem?
Are you saying that your PDF documents on your iPad/iPhones are lost because you updated Apple iTunes (not Adobe Reader)? Do you see anything in the Documents or Recents section of the Adobe Reader home screen?

How to save "sites" in separate files?

I am working with three different sites (work, personal, etc.) and would like to save them as separate files, not as part of a single domain package. Is this possible without having to create separate user identities?
Also, having saved two sites in iWeb, they are put in the domain.sites packages. Looking into the package I can’t distinguish which files belong to which sites. Any ideas,
Cheers,
Reb

You could try this: create a site. Move the domain.site file to a folder named for the site. Start iWeb and create another site. Repeat. When you want to work on a specific site move its domain.site file into the iWeb application support file.
Yep, a total pain in the neck. However it is either that or use a different user account for each site. My own experimentation has determined that as the total domain.site folder grows the save time grows tremendously.
It's likely that before long someone will write a little utility to do this automatically.

Converting Thumbnails of lost files into low res useable files

My Network Storage hard disk recently failed completely and I have lost about 3 months of family photos (new baby). The new baby was the reason for forgetting to back-up (inexcusable).
I am using Photoshop SE and it still happily shows the thumbnails of all the lost photos even though the NAS is disconnected and in bits.
Is there ANY way that I can get to the thumbnails and save them as files.
I realise that they will be in low res but I don't have another option as the hard disk has failed mechanically and according to the maufacturer will not be recoverable even if I could afford the services of a proper data recovery company.
Hoping you can help,
Mike

I'm sorry to hear about this problem. I can imagine it's very upsetting.
You can certainly do what you want, but you'd need some photo editing software to get it done. Photoshop Elements would be a good choice, but there are lots around - probably even free ones.
The approach is to display a thumbnail as big as PSE SE will allow. Then to a screen capture [PrintScreen button]. The paste into the editing program, crop off the excees dross and save the image. It will take some minutes for each one.
How many do you need to recover? There may be a few shortcuts if the number is very large.

How to save down an .idml file to open as .idd in CS3?

I'm using a G5 (PPC), OS 10.5.8 and CS3 (v 5.0.4) an recently received client files that were created in InDesign 5 and saved as .idml. What are the steps necessary to save them down to InDesign CS3 version, so I can open them and modify? The other party does not have CS4 or 3 available anymore.
PS. We tried upgrading just InDesign to 5.5, but that ended up with 3 days worth of lost upgrades, updates, research and $150 worth of software we can't use and we are still at point zero.
Quick response is of the essence since we have a client waiting on their proofs.
Thank you.

As you've no doubt by now realized, InDesign 5/5.5 only runs on a Mac Intel machine. CS4 was the last version to also run on a G5 PPC.
Whether you use InDesign, QuarkXpress, PageMaker, the inability to move files backward more than 1 version has always been an issue for the last 25 years.
Its always been this way and if isn't going to change.
If you want to be able to accept & work on newer files from clients it is necessary to upgrade on a regular basis.
I know your boss won't be happy about buying a new Mac and also upgrading regularly but its the price of doing business.
Buying an upgrade for $150 or so every 18 months is a very small price to pay for the ability to keep your clients happy.
The longer you go between upgrades the harder, or in this case the impossibility of getting newer files into an old version like CS3
(Peter is a nice guy for helping you out this one time, but this is NOT a viable solution)
Clients will go elsewhere if you tell them they have to convert their file not once but twice just for you to be able to receive & work on them.
A hypothetical - If your boss was paying a company to provide a service for him and they starting making him jump through hoops just to accept his work, how long do you think your boss would put up with the hassle before he threw up his arms and said "Forget it! I'm taking my business someplace else!"
This is the same situation that you are presenting to your clients.
Maybe this can convince him to upgrade.
You could get a Mac Mini or iMac and run Creative Suite without issues. You might not want to edit video on a Mini, but it is more that up to the task of running InDesign, Photoshop, Illustrator, Acrobat, etc.
The old G5 PPC is getting long in the tooth. A new Mac Mini should also be able to work for your needs for years. Trust me on this,we've all been there!
Many people that had a tower G4 or G5 in the past realize that a new MacPro is out of the price range for most people.
They get an iMac or a Mini and don't look back.
The basic Mini has an Intel Dual Core i5 processor starts at $599,
You already have the CS 5.5 upgrade so you just need a new computer.
Good Luck!!!

With an API like Xerces you can parse an XML document into a DOM tree. You can do modifications on that tree manually and then write it back out as XML data.
