Illustrator crash, recovered file not most recent

Hi
Over the past two days, Illustrator CC v17.1 has crashed for no obvious reason. In each case, I have been working and saving my files regularly. However, when I relaunch Illustrator and open my file, it displays an older version, not the latest.
I tried searching for tmp files in a few locations but found nothing. Anybody else experience this? Really odd and quite frustrating. I save often in case Illustrator does crash to prevent lost work/time. But I can't figure out what it is doing when its saving as the most current versions are nowhere to be found. Working locally on my internal hard drive.
Mac OS 10.9 / Illustrator CC v17.1 / 16GB RAM
Any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
John

Thanks guys, got the plugin installed. It should be very helpful. Pity that AI files can get corrupted so easily, I've never had that problem with them in the past. I appreciate the quick response.

  • IPhone dead, pictures showing up via iCloud but not most recent?

    Here's the deal- I made the great mistake of accidentally taking my phone for a spin in the washer last night and it might or might not resurrect in the next few days (it was dry when I pulled it out, so I'm still holding on to some hope).  I have an iPad and as a last ditch effort to save my phone photos, I turned on photo stream.  It worked great and several dozen pictures from up til early last week showed up.  However, there are a good many pictures I took in the last week that aren't appearing, so I'm curious as to how these recent-but-not-most-recent pictures appeared but not the latest ones.  I hadn't turned on photo stream on my iPad at any point before last night (post-phone death), so I'm unsure what's going on or if there's anything else I can do to connect the latest photos to another device.  Not sure how these things work, but I'm assuming it uses wi-fi... do you think the fact that photo stream connected to my phone at all means there's some hope for my phone's second life?  Or was it possibly just the ghost of my phone giving its last ounce of energy to the cloud before dying?  Any input would be nice, as I've scoured the Internet for answers.
    Thanks, friends!

    Are you talking about syncing notes and photo stream photos?  If so, first make sure your notes are in iCloud by going to icloud.com on your computer.  If they are, make sure both devices are signed into the same iCloud account and try going to Settings>iCloud, turning Notes to Off, then after a minute or so, turn it back On.
    Photo stream photos are only uploaded after enabling photo stream.  If the photos were already on your device when you enabled photo stream, then would not have been uploaded.  Try taking a new photo, then see if it appears in your my photo stream album.

  • 10.7.2 Finder "Selection" not most recent

    This wasn't happening until a few weeks ago, and was not happening whan I first updated to 10.7.2.
    I must add that I can't do OS updates due to work restrictions.
    I use lots of applescripts & Automator tasks that deal with the Finder selection, like renaming, creating backups, etc..  I'm finding that quite often the task is performed on not my most recent selection. but an older selection that I can't even see.
    I've started selecting & deselecting & then re-selecting again, files I want to perform these tasks on, but even then it doesn't always refresh correctly and performs the tasks on the wrong file.
    Is there some preference I ca trash, or any other suggestions??
    Thanks!

    When in Finder, COMMAND 'J' (letter J), may give you what you want.  Check the appropriate boxes.
    Ciao.

  • Firefox crash on startup after most recent update?

    Once Firefox installed the most recent update, it will no longer open. It attempts to open, but immediately crashes and the crash report opens. I have tried to uninstall (deleting profile as well) and reinstall, but it continues to crash. This is the most recent version of Firefox, 8.0 I think. Pleeeease help, I hate IE.

    No. None of those are the issues. I had already gone through a lot of the help stuff before I posted this.
    And as I explained earlier, there is no crash ID listed that I can see.

  • Can I retrieve contacts from a past (not most recent) backup?

    The other day, my iPhone 4 decided to delete 95% of my contacts. Unfortunately when I realized this, my phone had already automatically backed up to iCloud, so the most recent backup didn't include any of my contacts. My Time Machine has been iffy and hasn't backed up recently AND I'm unsure if my contacts were saved to iTunes... I had never done that manually (didn't actually know it was an option until recently) but maybe it automitcally synced my contacts?
    When I right click on my device in iTunes, restore from backup is not an option. Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can restore from a backup from like 5 days ago? Is there a way to see a list of old backups or something? Ah I just want my contacts back! I don't care if I lose the pictures or texts I've sent in the last couple days, any help is greatly appreciated!

  • POP email loading Old Messages, and not most recent messages: (not Gmail)

    Hi,
    I'm having an issue where my iPhone is loading old emails instead of the most recent ones on the server. I see the messages download in outlook (leave message on server). But my iPhone will download the most recent message for awhiel and it will stop.
    I have it set to display 25 messages. It used to always download the most recent messages and push the old messages out. (i'd have to hit download 25 more to see more). But now it no longer does this. Also, when i delete a few messages, it downloads some messages, but not the most recent ones. Also tried completely deleteing the account and starting over. But after it fills up, the same thing happens. It worked fine for a few weeks, then it started having this problem.
    I've tried deleting all email, but eventually it fills up and then starts doing the same thing.
    Thoughts and help would be appreciated.

    Those messages which iphone can't get are Junk mails..
    First remove the account,
    Go to Setting/mail and choose "show 50 or more recent messages".
    Add your account again.
    go back to mail settings
    choose your account at the top of add account...
    go to advanced
    below the deleted messages
    remove... choose "after one day"
    under the incoming setting, delete from server choose "7 days" (which is quite enough time to keep)..
    Thats all.. Fixed on my phone..
    This phone is not your real mailbox. Use it to check only or respond After that delete them...
    Don't keep your mails in it. Use Mail, Entourage or Outlook etc..
    Peace..

  • Identify not most recent candidate

    First Im sorry for creating a lengthy post, just trying to make it clear.
    Please help me to make my query efficient.
    Example follwed with logic behind the scenes.
    create table finalcand (ptsequence number,version number,candidate varchar2(10),date_submitted date,
    file_valid varchar(2))
    insert into finalcand values(101,1,'VJ',TRUNC(SYSDATE),'Y');

    insert into finalcand values(104,1,'GD',TRUNC(SYSDATE),'N');
    insert into finalcand values(105,2,'GD,TRUNC(SYSDATE),'Y');
    insert into finalcand values(107,2,'GVR',TRUNC(SYSDATE),'N');
    insert into finalcand values(106,1,'GD',TRUNC(SYSDATE+1),'Y');
    insert into finalcand values(108,1,'GD',TRUNC(SYSDATE),'Y');

         107     2     GVR     7/23/2009           N             2im using this query which will work fine ,but im still trying to see if i can do it in a efficient way.
    SELECT z.*
      FROM (SELECT r.*,
                   RANK() OVER(
                   PARTITION BY r.candidate

              ) z
    WHERE RNK >1
    and z.file_valid='N'Logic behind this
    Problem is to identify all records which are not most latest candidate
    -->candidate is identified by candidate name.
    -->version and date_submitted is used to identify latest entry of that candidate.
    -->if same candidate has multiple entries with same version and also same date_submitted then use max(ptsequence) to identify latest.
    Catch here is
    -->If we see a candidate entry with File_valid ='N' that means earlier version of that candidate should be the most latest.
    Another catch is
    -->If we see a candidate entry with File_valid ='N' and doesn’t have any older records then the current one should be latest.
    Thanks for reading this post.

    Hi,
    Thanks for posting the CREATE TABLE and INSERT statemnts! That helps a lot.
    Did they work when you ran them? A couple of of the INSERT statemnets seem to be missing quotes.
    Sentinel and I have slightly different ideas of what you want.
    It looks like the criteria are different for the different values of file_valid.
    If you add this row to the sample data:
    insert into finalcand values(901,1,'VJ',TRUNC(SYSDATE),'N');Sentinel's solution includes the new row; your original solution and the one below do not.
    WITH     got_rnk         AS
         SELECT     finalcand.*
         ,     RANK () OVER ( PARTITION BY  candidate
                               ,          file_valid
                               ORDER BY          date_submitted     DESC
                          ,               version          DESC
                          ,          ptsequence          DESC
                          )  AS rnk_fv
         ,     RANK () OVER ( PARTITION BY  candidate
                               ORDER BY          date_submitted     DESC
                          ,               version          DESC
                          ,          ptsequence          DESC
                          )  AS rnk_all
         FROM     finalcand
    SELECT     ptsequence
    ,     version
    ,     candidate
    ,     date_submitted
    ,     file_valid
    ,     CASE  file_valid
              WHEN  'N'  THEN  rnk_all
              WHEN  'Y'  THEN      rnk_fv
         END     AS rnk
    FROM     got_rnk
    WHERE     (     rnk_fv          > 1
         AND     file_valid     = 'Y'
    OR     (     rnk_all          > 1
         AND     file_valid     = 'N'
    ;I suspect this will be more efficient than your original query, since it only goes through the table once.

  • How can I do a Session Restore after a crash from a week or so ago (i.e. not most recent)

    After a recent FF crash (Vsn 13.0.1 - I know) on the next start up it asked if I wanted to restore session, said yes - then realised all previous tabs were missing. Shut down and re-started nothing happened so checked Task List and found multiple versions (2) of FF in memory - ended those sessions.
    Tried to rename/re-use sessionstore.js and sessionrestore.bak but didn't contain tabs wanted, so I need to know if there is a way to 'undelete' previous sessionrestore.js files and use the one from a week or so ago to restore the tabs from then? I presume the same renaming procedure is used - could someone direct me to the procedure to do this?
    Thanks.

    I can find multiple (deleted) Sessionstore.js files with different dates and times in the n33mpvib.default folder, in 'good' condition. I have tried to save 1 from last week (to a different drive, E:) and then renamed sessionstore.js to *.old and copied in the recovered sessionstore.js from E: into n33mpvib.default folder, and restarted FF - didn't work.
    I can see all the tabs I had previously opened in the History, but can't remember which were still open (active) at the time of the crash.
    Is there something I am not doing correctly in the first paragraph procedure?

  • POA won't load after Server Crash - 8209 file not found err

    Groupwise server crashed recently (apparently from bad RAID controller, which has been replaced). Server is back up an running now (SLES 10 sp3 VM running under XEN, GW 2012 sp1). Have performed a rebuild on Primary Domain and also on single Post Office. MTA loads OK, as does GWIA but POA fails to come up, giving "Path Not Found - 8209 error" message. Path to WPhost.db is correct both in C1 and in the startup file. When loading POA with --show option, I see the aforementioned error and then when I clear that I see on the screen (for a brief moment):
    "Rebuilding Guardian Database because of C0221... please stand by"
    Then it terminates and screen disappears.
    I know that restoring from backup is one option, but that cannot be done until Monday at the earliest and that, of course, is dependent on having good backups. Therefore, I was wondering if there is a way to fix this problem to get the system back up quicker. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.
    Don
    P.S. There is only 1 Primary domain and 1 PO in this small GW system and yes, I know, one should have at least 1 secondary domain.

    Thanks for the suggestion, Danita.
    OK, I backed up all copies of ngwguard.* from the PO directory. Then, I deleted ngwguard.db and copied the ngwguard.fbk (same exact file size as the deleted ngwguard.db) from ofmsg/guardbak folder to the PO directory as ngwguard.db. Now, I did notice that there was no ngwguard.fbk in the PO directory but instead a ngwguard.dba file, which I left as is. I then started the POA - ./gwpoa --show @po.poa & and now it no longer gives me "Path Not Found" error, but instead it displays:
    "opened a file that was not a flaim file C03F"
    I click OK on this warning and then POA monitor screen displays for 2 seconds "rebuilding ngwguard.db ..." before it bails and terminates.
    So, is it looking more and more like a ngwguard.db problem as opposed to wphost.db? And, I am of course curious why using that backup of ngwguard would not work. In any event, today I will be trying to get backups of wpdomain.db and wphost.db off of tape and perhaps I should restore ngwguard.db as well - this is dependent, of course, on having a good backup that is restorable. If that is not the case, is there an option to rebuild the ngwguard.db file? Thanks.

    Quite possibly. You do need both a wphost.db and an ngwguard.db file for the
    POA to properly load. There should be two relatively "new" copies in the
    system:
    ngwguard.fbk in the same folder as the PO, and then the ngwguard.fbk in the
    ofmsg/guardbak folder.
    Try copying one of these as ngwguard.db in the PO folder, and if that doesn't
    work, you will need to go to "backup" to restore.

  • Illustrator crashes when attempting to open recently installed CS6

    Before installing CS6 on my laptop I contacted Adobe through a chat to make sure I had enough memory to install. I was told that what matters is storage--not memory. After sharing my statistics I was told no problem--go ahead and install. So I did, but when I try and open Ai, it crashes. I am wondering if the issue is that all my memory slots are used. After having installed CS6 here are my statistics. STORAGE:  405.6 GB free out of 499.25 GB. All my memory slots are in use (8 GB are installed).

    Nobody can tell you anything without exact system info and the crash logs. Neither the harddrive space nor the actual physical memory matter in any way just for launching AI. That would only come into play as you work with files.

  • HT1414 Is there any way to restore i-Phone contacts and photos from an earlier (not most recent) backup?

    When I updated my i-Phone's version, I lost all my contacts and photos.  Although I had a back-up of them, the backup disappeared when another backup was done automatically when the phone synced automatically at a later date.  Is there any way to access an earlier backup, even if it is not showing under Devices in iTunes or in the Backup folder in the appropriate Apple folder under the computer's Documents and Settings?

Use a properly descriptive subject line, explain the problem you're having, what error messages you've gotten and what steps you've taken to so far to troubleshoot.

  • I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 thing. But now my iphone's gmail inbox shows a random selection of emails (not most recent ones that are in my inbox). How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

    I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 capabilities. But now my iphone's gmail inbox only shows a random selection of emails (i.e. right now it is May 31, 2013 but the emails in my inbox are a couple from Nov 12, a few from Oct 12, and then some way older than that and so on.When I log into my gmail from a computer, I see all my emails in the logical, standard order. How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

    If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
    Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
    IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
    Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.

  • Since the most recent update, any previously made captivate files we republish won't display

    (skip to "I'll break down the problem as best as i can" to avoid rant )
    Essentially, we have near a hundred eLearning courses we have made using captivate dating back as early as captivate 4.  We have been upgrading through the versions as we go and where there has always been little glitches that present themselves this one makes the list sense.  This isn't even an upgrade in version, just a little patch (that seemed to add the ability to resize the "Question X of Y" bits on question slides).
    So, does anyone have any help on this problem?  Adobe have been so far not very helpful, essentially offering the wisdom and clarity that comes with years of not trying to fix problems. Their advice being to basically remake each course from the ground up, something that will take a LOT of time (and for what!? to fix their mistake?).
    I'll break down the problem as best as i can:
    Since recent patch to captivate, pre-existing files that we publish again will not display on windows computers but does display on Ipad's, etc.  Uploading to a server does not fix the problem, it remains the same.  The internet window opens up the same as normal but after a brief loading bar moment, the window remains blank.  A check of the code shows that the files are being loaded but simply not displaying in any form.  If we publish a completely new file, it displays fine. The type of browser has no impact on the problem.  We have also found that if we go into the console and use a command to skip to, say, the second frame, it works!?  So the issue literally seems to be with displaying in the first place.
    Thanks in advance if anyone can even help suggest ways to get round this problem, it has come at a terrible time when we need to make changes and present material to another company but can't even view our publishes files.

    The most recent update (to Captivate 7.0.1.237) changed the default autoplay setting for all of our courses to on. Since we haven't changed any settings personally it was easy overlooked, and the autoplay function just doesn't seem to work.
    I tried running cpCmndGotoSlide = 2 in the web developer console and it caused the course to start up, making me realise that the course was indeed loading (I saw that some of the content was loading on firebug but was unsure as to if it was the crucial files) but just not playing and I noticed while investigating that.
    So its just a case of turning off autoplay for the course in the publish settings.
    Also as a note our courses were still working on iPad, I think this is due to apple products not supporting the autoplay of content, especially if it has audio.

Maybe you are looking for
