Lost a lot of work.
I just lost an entire script i was working on because apparently i was using an old, free version of story.
When i updated, i could no longer log in on the desktop application, and when i checked if any of my documents were still there online, all i saw was a bunch of almost a year old files. Is there a way for me to get those documents back, or am i simply screwed here?
i really need the files back, as we are actually shooting this weekend, and i have almost no time to write the entire thing over again. Support is gratly appriciated.
Dear sunny, just wanted to thank you from the bottom of my heart for helping me with this.
Just got everything back, and i can't stop smiling
You get a special thanks in the credits....no doubt ^_^
again, just Thank you
Eirik

Lost a LOT of WORK in a very strange way...
I just finished a long demo project (imovie 3.0.3) at 2 am last night.
I watched it and saved it 2 x , only on my external hardrive, no other back ups. And this morning I go to open it up, with the idea of putting it onto dvd and everything seems snafued:
My timeline is gone and all the clips are chopped up in the clips pane in 28 second chunks....
I've tried pasting everything back into order and each clip is somehow shorter than it used to be- my 2 min 10 sec video is reduced to like 30 seconds... Hair ripping experience.
I don't know where my edited audio is either...
I'm trying to figure out how to recapture everything without having to start all over...
More info: this past 2 weeks any time i opened i movie (after shutting the computer down) my work in progress file would automatically open up- it would ask" x amount of stray files in your project, do want to keep them or trash them" and I would say keep them; then it would bring another pop up saying " do you want to move clips into clip panes or leave files alone" and I would say move them to clip pane.
This morning my project did not come up so i went to go and open it up automatically and so i went through the steps to open it up in my files, and then the same questions come up....
A list of all my files, audio, video, photo etc is present in the list- but when i open it up all the clips are in the clip pane, with no audio and no timeline...NO VIDEO
Voila,
perhaps, just perhaps some clever person or some other tormented fellow has had this situation and can scoop me out my dementia's poop!!!
Mac OS X (10.3.9)Sounds a little odd- but what do you mean by what formatting does my external hard drive pocess... It is Lacie 250 gig external hard drive ; my project was about 4 gigs alltogethere.
Since my last post i realized that these 0.28 sec. clips are all transitions- from the las clip to the next - it does not actually show me the " transition" icon neither in the pane nor if i drag it into the timeline; they are mini tansitions only.
I've also looked in my media files for my project and realized that that all these 0:28 clips are listed as transitions... there are no records of any actual movies.... my pictures are intact and my titles are as well../ -
Updated an app & lost a lot of work
I just updated an app that I used to make flashcards. It had close to 400 cards in it an the update wiped them out. I have to believe that they are in there somewhere. Can someone tell me if there is a finder type app on the ipad, or some other way to find the files. I still have the old version in itunes but have no clue how to figure out if my cards are in it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks-DonnaWithout a backup from the time when the data still has been on your iPad, you can't get your app data back.
The apps stored in iTunes on your computer just contain the program without any other personal data.
Check if you can find another backup listed in iTunes/Edit/Preferences/Devices to restore from.
If you can't, maybe you included the iTunes backup folder into your computer backup routine and could be able to restore the old backup again. Details on that can be found here:

I updated my iphone 4s on my computer - I lost a lot of pictures - it gave me messages that I had sent back in June and now it wont allow me to play any of my itunes on my phone - any got any solutions to what I should do? HELP
I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more. And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should. On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much. I will post a note in the app store to let them know. I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine.
Starbucks app works as it should.
I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again. -
As I've already said to get this far: I have lost a lot of tracks while syncing my iPod Touch with iTunes. I have managed to get free downloads of some of the single tracks, but when I try to download entire albums the system informs me that I have already purchased them and a pop-up window informs me I can get them back from my "Purchased" file. I would not be trying to dowload them again if they were anywhere on the iPod, would I? The other problem seems to be that with single tracks I don't know before I hit the purchase button if I have picked it from the right album and I have had to pay for it again.
I feel that I have been totally ripped off by iTunes and, apart from ranting on this forum, I don't seem to be able to let my feelings known. It's like a guy from my local record store coming round and nicking my albums and telling me that it's tough!
The point here is folks, that it was syncing two Apple sites which caused the loss of these tracks and from what I've read elsewhere this is a regular fault. And please don't tell me that it's my fault for having a pc. Apple shouldn't sell a product for pc, when it doesn't work on pc!- Are you saying that they are not listed in your Purchased section?
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
- Are they listed in your Puchases history when you log into your account on your computer?
- Are they still available now for purchase? If not then you are out of luck
If they are still available and listed in your Puchase History then contact iTunes

I lost one of my "work area" markers
Hello,
I somehow lost one of my work area markers. How do I get it back onto the timeline ?
On this subject, I always find it awkward when I try to drag the left marker to the left side of my work area footage on the timeline, is there not an easier way to do this, than grabbing at it with the mouse ?
I will first define my "in" and "out" points on the timeline.
Then I drag the 2 markers to define that area, and they will snap nicely to where I have put the "in" and "Out" markers, however grabbing that left "work area" marker just isn't easy to do, and now, one of them is missing.
I'm sure the missing marker is there, I just can't find it.
Thank you for any information.
Dave.Hello Steven
Thank you for the information. I looked into the keyboard shortcuts, and that did the trick ! , the elusive left marker has re-appeared. I wonder where it was, perhaps somewhere on the timeline where I didn't see it.
I think I shall start using more of the keyboard shortcuts, some of these look like they can save a lot of time.
Thanks Steven,
Dave. -
when on websites, after certain time the computer freezes for time, the firefox commit charge seems to get too high to work properly. When I shut my computer to reboot, i lose my bookmarks that i had placed in my bookmark files. I lose a lot of work. Can i retrive this work somehow???
1. You're using an old version of Firefox that is no longer supported. You should upgrade to either Firefox 3.6.17 or the newest version - 4.0.1. <br />
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/ - 4.0.1<br />
http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - 3.6.17
2. When you reboot your computer while Firefox is open, you risk losing data. Firefox has backups of your bookmarks file, see this to learn how you can restore a backup from a previous day.<br />

Is there any way to re-install an older version of pages on my computer? The new version lost a lot of the templates I enjoyed using...
If you previously had iWork '09, those apps are still in your Applications folder in a folder named iWork '09 unless you deliberately deleted them.
If you did delete them & have a Time Machine backup that includes your Applications folder you can restore them from there. In the past the iWork apps have not worked well when copied from another drive, but some users have reported that this works for them, especially if the apps were originally purchased from the Mac App Store. If you originally installed them from the retail disk, find the disk & reinstall them & then update to iWork 9.3. -
I lost a-lot of homework!!! on my i-pad 3
I lost a-lot of homework!!! on my i-pad 3 it was suposed to be saved but i cant find the work anymore? please help
I was using the app 'Pages' and added a lot of work too a previous document, it was saved at the time but when I went back to print it off there was only the old one. It's my final coursework and due in 4 days, any help would be appreciated.
I was also syncing the app with my iPhone and I've looked on iCloud and it's the same with only the old one there...If they are iTunes purchases then you should be able to copy them over to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases if you have iTunes 11 on your computer) - that should also copy any other purchases over e.g. apps etc.
If it's music from other sources (e.g. CDs) and you don't have them on your computer nor on a backup then there are some programs listed half-way down this page which should be able to copy them off : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
Before starting the update you may also want to copy photos and any important documents off the iPad as well e.g. via the file sharing section at the bottom of the device's apps tab when connected to iTunes, via wifi, email, dropbox etc - they should be included in the backup, but it's best to have a copy of them outside of the backup just in case. -
Just lost 10+years of work...Backup advice now needed
After loosing 10+ years of work from an external hdd crash + a pc hd crash both withing 10day perios, I now have a new iMac and trying to find the best backup solution PLUS syncing solution with my Macbook Pro and iPhone before picking up and with my photography. Believe me, I don't think I'll ever be the same because of this loos.
After much research, it's time for feedback from others. I have a concept diagram that I created and can be found here of what I currently looking at - this is a WIP: http://gallery.me.com/nvert#100232/backupdiagram&bgcolor=black
Any help/advice is appreciated.
Brad (aka nvert)BIG thanks to each of you for your suggestions and advice and taking the time to help a bro out. Aside from a few glitches in my diagram (to redondant or out of sequence) I have a better grasp on how to approach this thanks to your input. The question I still can't really figure out is the syncing concept - how to keep my iMac and MBP synced? If both are connected to a NAS RAID setup, can it be programed to 'push' the most current file version to the other computer? Since I travel and make changes on the fly with my MBP and then refine/revise on the iMac, I'd like to find a way that does this efficiently. ay or two..
By the way, more info for everyone regarding my attempts to recover my data:
"The Accident": One evening I knocked my external HDD off the PC tower which sits under my desk on carpet. The drive fell less than 18" - all cords attached - and I'm sure that slowed the fall a bit. Either way, the drive was powered on 24/7 and most likely spinning at the time of the fall. Once I put everything back in place, the ext HDD began clicking. Immediately I shut it down and went to the forums as well as tech help from my university. The click was truly the "click of death". Because my university has a contract with DriveSavers, I sent it to them hoping for the best. After 2 levels of analysis by DS, nothing on the 320GB drive recoverable. What few items they were able to pull off the drive, even they were not able to decipher if those files were jpgs or txt files.
nd my job was willing to foot part of the bill since we already have an account with DriveSavers. I was ready to pay 2K for data recovery and work was willing to meet me part way. The sick irony of it all is that I was looking at another backup level 2 months before this happened - I just couldn't decide on what and now I have lost all originals. I have lots of work on the web but as you all know that format is limiting.
I lost great work, family pics, travel pics, SCUBA pics, published work, work to be published, writing, course+teaching materials, financial data...EVERYTHING YOU HAVE! So....
...For all of you thinking about upgrading...follow your gut and do it now before something like this happens to you. Not to be pessimistic...it will happen eventually. I'm just thankful the house didn't burn etc but loosing all that work is a bit debilitating. At least my Canon is right beside me at this moment...been the first time in over 5 weeks and usually it's always "the appendage" my friends tease me about.
Again, thanks for responding so fast to my post. I already have a MobileMe account setup up to sync my contacts, bookmarks, dock, keychains, etc. I also have it setup to keep my work related teaching docs up to date but that is done by me on a manual "when I think of it" basis. Right now, my 1st priority to to get a NAS RAID going but not sure if both the MBP and iMac should use TM or something like both of you proposed such as CarbonCopy or SuperDuper.
Best to all,

My hard drive went bad and I lost a lot of purchased items from the iTunes store. I want to re-download them but can not. They still show up on my purchased items. How do I solve this?
Update to iTunes 10.3.1
After you have finished, you can re download your iTunes purchases without having to re purchase.
iTunes 10.3.1
" Download Previous Purchases. Download your past music purchases again at no additional cost. Your purchases are available in the iTunes Store on your Mac or in the iTunes app on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch. Previous purchases may be unavailable if they are no longer on the iTunes Store."
"Available on iTunes in the U.S. and Canada only. Title availability is subject to change."

I cannot find a photo I did a lot of work to create. I have several libraries that look similar but I found at least one photo that was in one and not the others. Can someone tell me if I can merge these libraries, and how, and what to watch for that might cause problems.
the paid version of iPhoto library manager can merge libraries safely
Why do you have several libraries? Why are you not just using the one that has what you want?

I changed from manually managing music to create more space on my IPod and lost a lot of the my music since it synched with another library. ( I think off another long gone computer!)

Thanks for any and all help!!See this article for more help and information.

HI,
Since a while I have received from apple the warning for an up grade for my Os x Mountain Lion and finally I decider to do it. . . . and since it was just an up grade I DIDN'T DO A BACK UP of all the content of my book pro because I thought it wasn't necessary . . . .but when I did it . . . . .it cancelled me all my files in documents, most of all my mail boxes in mail and most of my bookmarks in safari.
I do not understand why; since i did not change my os but just did an up grade of my existing one. . . . . .result I lost a lot of data and I do not know what to do.
Is this normal that it cancelled data in my documents folders and in others parts of my mac pro ?? ? ? . . . .ad if it is so why don't you write a warning saying that before going through with a simple up grade of your OS of your computer everybody should do a back up of everything it has in it ?!?!?!
Buongiorno,
Da qualche tempo mi era avvivato l'annuncio da vii di apple che c'era un ap grade per il mil system operative per il mio Os x mountain lion e alls fine ho deciso di faro . . . . .siccome era solo un au grade del systema operativo e non un cambiamento per un Os più recente non ho fat to un back up di tutti il contenuto del mio mac pro . . . .ma dope averlo fat to l'up grade ho realizzato che il procedimento mi aveva cancellato tutti i file contenuti nei midi document, le mailbox che avevo create in mail e i bookmarks che avevo create in safari . . . . . .e forse anche altre cose che non ho ancora visto.
Ma è normale che questo succeda e se si perchè insiemme all'annuncio di dover fare un'up grade non mettete anche una segnalazione sul fatto che prima di procedere è consigliato fare un back up di tutti i datti che si ha nel computer ?
Io adesso mi trovo nella scomoda posizione di aver perso dei dati importanti con perdita di tempo e lavoro.What happened isn't normal, but does demonstrate why you need a backup, preferably two.
