I cannot open a recent item. Is it lost forever?

I had an important document that my MacBook autosaved for me, so I opened the autosaved version and began editing it extensively, after finalizing it I (stupidly) saved it under the same autosave name. Now my document folder is only displaying the original version of the document and the autosaved version is not in the folder and does not come up as option when I search for it in the finder. I figured all hope was lost until I clicked on my apple "recent items" menu and there it is!...but i can click on it all day and it doesn't open. Is there anything I can do? (It is a TextEdit doc file) -Cal

Perhaps you can find a more up-to-date version in Time Machine?

  • I cannot open my recent numbers documents

    I cannot open my recent numbers documents because I get the message saying I need to download the latest version from the App Store although the App Store says I have the latest version (09 v2.03 is installed) I cannot do anything. I have tried quitting everything & restarting. Just keep getting the same error message and it refuses to open

    Mark,
    Unfortunately, the preference in Finder's Get Info doesn't work for setting a default since the file names are identical. Some users here have gone into the Applications folder and changed the filename of one of the apps to distinguish them.
    A decent workaround is to make sure you have Quite both Numbers apps and look to see if either is on the Dock. If so, drag the icon off the dock. Then use Spotlight to search for Numbers. Two apps will be found:
    Numbers - Applications and Numbers - iWork. Choose Numbers - Applications by clicking on it to launch the app. When the Numbers icon shows up in the Dock, Right-Click the icon and choose Options > Keep in Dock.
    Henceforth launch from the Dock rather than from the document. To open documents, you can use the File menu in Numbers, or you can drag the file to the Numbers icon in the dock.
    I've read that if only one version of Numbers is running, that's the one that will be used if you simply double-click a document name or icon. I haven't confirmed that.

  • How do I purge items in "Open a Recent Item" Dreamweaver CS6?

    How do I purge the list of files under "Open a Recent Item" DW Cs6 Opening Screen?

    Hello,
    you can do that, BUT DW starts - in my German DW at least - with a blank screen except the menu bar.
    You have to take away the checkmark in this way (translated from my German DW): > edit (Bearbeiten) > settings (Voreinstellungen) > generally (Allgemein) > document options (Dokumentoptionen) > show welcome screen (Begrüßungsbildschirm anzeigen) > see screenshot)
    I for my part don't remove it, I see it as a good thing to be able to open the last files by a simple cklick e.g.

  • Removing items from "open a recent item" list

    Hi,
    I deleted some files in dreamweaver cs5, but they still appear in "Open a recent item",
    how can I remove them from the list?
    Thanks for any help
    David

    Windows or Mac?
    On Windows, it's a setting in the Windows registry:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe\Dreamweaver CS5\Recent File List
    Select each file, right-click and select Delete.
    Alternatively, just open up to 9 legitimate files in DW and let the list update itself.

  • Open a Recent Item

    My "Open a Recent Item" list contains files that I no longer
    have available. How can I purge or syncronize this list?

    Dreamweaver CS4  Clear the "Open a Recent Item"  window
    *****  But you must be in the user profile that you created the website with or you will not see the Recent list folder in the registry !!!!!
    ***** you will have registry rights to Delete files that user created.
    ****  If you do not have authority, you must find the user profile as an Administrator.
    Click Start
    then RUN
    type REGEDIT  in the run box
    then in the registry got to,
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER
        Software
         Adobe

    There will be a "Recent File List" you can delete all the files inside of it.

    Why eliminate it? It doesn't require any extra clicks.
    The Startup page can be handy to return to documents you have
    been working
    on, creating new documents and many other features. If you
    don't need it
    just click on what you do need; .
    If you insist, you can put a checkmark in "Don't show again"

  • Deleting "open a recent item" files

    The screen that appears when you first open Dreamweaver 8 has
    a list on the left that allows you to open a recent item. The ones
    that are currently listed on my computer are no longer valid and I
    would like to clear them. I have not been able to figure out a way
    to do this so any help is appreciated - Thanks!

    The recent files list is in the Registry of your computer.
    If you just ignore the "no longer valid" list and keep
    working with newer files, the newer file names will replace the
    older ones.
    If you still want to mess around with things, and you're
    comfortable editing the registry values.
    start> run
    Type in : regedit
    In the console that opens
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER> Software> Macromedia>
    Dreamweaver> Recent File List
    I would strongly recommend against messing around with the
    registry values unless you're absolutely sure about what you're
    doing.

  • Cannot open Public Folder item: "Not enough memory available in Exchange"

    Hi
    We are running Exchange 2003 Sp2.
    I cannot open an item in a Public Folder in Outlook that holds a list of contact details - the error message is;
    "Error: Cannot open this item. There is not enough memory available on Microsoft Exchange to perform this operation. Contact your system administrator"
    However, I can open the Contacts using Webmail. Any ideas?

    Quote: “open an item in a Public Folder in Outlook that holds a list of contact details”
    The item you said, is it a distribution list? If yes, please see KB 894530
    Troubleshooting:
    1.       Is the issue only happened on one item in the problematic public folder?
    2.       Is the issue only happened on one public folder?
    3.       Please recreate one same type item in the problematic public folder, see if the issue still persists
    4.       Is the issue only happened via one outlook client? Please test if the symptom also occurs when we reproduce the issue in another PC with another user’s outlook profile
    Resources:
    If the outlook’s version is 2007, please see KB 945014

  • Cannot open most recent email

    For two days now I cannot open the first email in my inbox. I can solve this by sending an email to myself, and can then open the mesage(as it is now second on the list)
    Cheers

    Exactly the same thing. Can't open e-mail or it is totally blank, but if I move it to a folder I can read it. If I return it to the Inbox I can read it. I'm blaming the migration to bt.com

  • DW8-Open a Recent Item Screen?

    Last on the list of recently opened items is a (folder) Open. If I click on open it takes me to C/drive Documents where I have downloaded an entire website from my Cpanel. Unzipped it and listed it in Documents. I click on the folder in documents and then click on Open to open it in DW8. It will not move...nothing happens? This specific website will not transfer? This works for some other 18 websites, but not this particular one? What am I doing wrong?

    Yes, it is a holiday week, but I need a wizard of oz to help. Please?

  • I cannot open Reading List items

    I have just found that if I click on any item in my Reading List all that happens is that the Top Sites page opens. What do I need to reset to stop this happening and to link through to the Reading List sites?

    From the Safari menu bar, select
    Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Extensions
    Turn all extensions OFF and test. If the problem is resolved, turn extensions back ON and then disable them one or a few at a time until you find the culprit.

  • Cannot open HFM ( menu items greyed out) in workspace ( weblogic\IIS)

    Hi,
    Following is the configuration:
    HFM on IIS on server1. Port 80
    Planning on weblogic\IIS on server 2.
    Workspace on weblogic\IIS on server 3. Port 80.
    With this combination, I can see planning menu items in workspace and can create an application. But the HFM menu items like "Create app" are greyed out and on clicking throw an error that the module is not configured.
    If I run the configuration utility again on workspace server ( server3) and deploy workspace on weblogic\Apache ( changed from IIS to apache) , both planning and HFM are available to me and I can create HFM apps.
    My client wants us to use IIS and also we have heard that support for Apache will be withdrawn over time.
    Any ideas on how I can use IIS on the workspace server and get HFM to work with it.
    Another question is - can I change the default HFM port from 80 to some thing else while running the configuring tool for HFM.
    Thanks.

    I'll steal my answer from this topic from a prior post.
    It's useful to know which versions of the software you are working with. I will assume you are on the latest release.
    If you are using a separate web server and application server and are not using Apache as the web server you need to deploy pieces of the Financial Management system. Please read page 52 of the following installation manual: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_manual_deployment.pdf
    You can also deploy the HFM Web components directly to the Workspace server which may be a bit easier to setup.
    Once you have picked the chosen direction and made changes to HFM you will then need to re-deploy Workspace App Server and Web Configuration.

  • I had to do a master restore on my computer but I cannot find any bookmarks. Are they lost forever?

    I had to do a master restore on my computer (because of a problem with Firefox 4). After the restore I downloaded Firefox and the Firefox Sync App again. I thought I would find my bookmarks. However, I cannot find any of the bookmarks I had, nor were the tabs restored. I also downloaded the app Foxfire app to my iPhone (same day). Yet after I signed in, I was able to see the tabs I had before the master restore, but again - none of the bookmarks. I don't know how (if) I can recover them... Please Help?!

    If the photos were not backed up with a recent backup, there is NO way to retrieve them.

  • How do I open multiple history items and restore my last session from more than the last day

    I see I can open 1 history item ant a time how can I open more than 1 if my browser crashed or was force quitted. Also is there a way to open previous items from before I day if I lunch safari and don't open my recent items using history.

    From your Safari menu bar. Click History / Reopen all windows from last session.
    If Safari is quitting unexpectedly, try resetting Safari. From the menu bar click Safari / Reset Safari. Select the top 7 buttons, click Reset.
    If that doesn't help, If Safari has just crashed, press the Report button on the CrashReporter dialog box to view the crash  information.
    Copy/paste the entire contents of the Crash Reporter window into your reply. If the crash report dialog does not appear or the crash is hard to reproduce, crash logs can be retrieved from the ~/Library/Logs/CrashReporter> folder.

  • Recent items are missing when I do a four finger expose swipe or two finger tap on icon

    Hi,
    I used to be able to do a four finger down swipe when in an app which would show any app windows open plus recent items underneath. I'm currently getting the windows showing but no recent items. This goes for any app. I haven't changed anything. I haven't cleared the list either. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Hello Toraishikuru,
    That feature you are describing is called Spaces. What the does is help you organize your workflow. For instance, my workflow is that have Safari in one space and then I have Mail in another so that they are not on top of each other. If you want to remove spaces that you are not using, then open Mission Control and you will see a section towards the top, move you mouse over one of them and click on the X that shows up in the right hand corner of that window. Take a look at the article below for more information.
