Lost indesign file please help

Hi guys,
last night I was working on some coursework, I had just done saves throughout the night multiple times to the same name as ''Design.indd'' on my desktop. I then plugged in my HDD. I then right click ''save as'' and then went over my design.indd on the desktop to make sure it was saved correctly. I then did control c on my ''design.indd'' file on the desktop and pasted it on my hdd. As it began copying indesign crashed and gave some error. I then looked on my desktop and my file of 'design.indd' was gone but instead one a weird not .indd file but new one appeared called '' design(.indd1058499230551)'' I then opened as an indesign file this one and then when It opened it opened a version of my ''design.indd'' courework a few weeks ago.
I have found some recovery files in my cache which are DBT followed by (randomnumbers). files.
I really need to get back to where I was working before hand.
Can anyone add me?
I can talk on skype also and willing to pay a small fee if you can help.
Thanks guys,
Luke

Can’t help with this but give this blog post a read to avoid having to go through this again:

I don't think you're on iOS 5, I think you're using iOS 6. That's the latest version.
Unless you've used iCloud to back up your documents, you won't be able to restore them. And for future reference, you don't have to uninstall Pages to update your iPad anymore. Sorry about this.

Lost unsaved Garage Band File - PLEASE HELP

Lost unsaved Garage Band File - PLEASE HELP
I had an audio file made on Garage Band but it was unsaved. I left my computer on at night and for some reason this morning my computer had seemed tor restart. I opened the garage band file but nothing came up.
Is there any way I can recover this 'unsaved file'? It must be stored in cache somewhere.
Someone please advise.
Thanks.

I would just like to say Thanks to HangTime up there. This trick worked 100% ... I had recorded 8 or 9 rather long tracks; for an unexpected reason (first time I've ever seen the "gray screen of death") the popup window came up and in several languages told me I needed to restart the computer; did what it told me to, begrudingly. Came back online, opened the GB file, nothing was there. Yet, when I checked package contents for the file (which I didn't even know existed, compartmentalized "Media", until after reading this), there were the tracks! I owe you both for getting this up and running... album creds just may be in line. ~Matt

HOW TO - Create new from clipboard and process multiple files - please help

Need help - have new version of photoshop on trial only ATM...
Want to know - HOW TO:
1. Create new from clipbaord
2. Process multiple files
Please help.

For clipboard copy, I start with File > New and the size will be set to what's in the clipboard. Then once the new file is opened, Edit > Paste will place the clipboard contents as a layer in the new document.
You must remember to use the command Layer > Flatten Image of you want to save as jpeg or any other file format that doesn't support layers.
For processing multiple files,
File > Automate > Batch or
File > Scripts > Image Processor...
Check the User guide or google information for those commands if you have specific needs.

Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?

You can edit a file, go to save, close it down, then when you re-open it the changes made have not been saved?? No error message or warning pops up, and it all looks ok like it has saved properly, until you open it up again. This also happens when you use 'save as' command if you use the original file name. If however you type in a different file name - it saves ok. But obviously that is not great as you cant now trust or rely on the save mechanism of the programme, to make sure any changes to artwork have been stored!! I have never seen an issue like this, it is worrying, I hope somebody can help?
Thanks.
We are running CS4 on windows7 - yes PC!!!

We save in EPS, and its not just one file, its a variety of different files and it seems to be random as to which files it does it on, some work fine - some don't. And it can be anything from a minor text change to a colour change, it doesnt seem to matter on the change made, it reacts the same.
The files are saved over a network connection to a large external hard drive.
Its really puzzling and now starting to cause problems as we do a fair bit of work in it, and can't trust one of the most important features, and that any changes that have been done have been saved and stored!
Hope maybe you can help with any thoughts at all.
Cheers.

What file format do you save it in?
What kinds of changes did you make in that file?
Where do you save the file (removable or network media)?

It could be Word or even Windows that is having the problem. Before you start trying to restore a backup or repair a file, try opening other documents.
Try opening your "corrupt" document from another computer. Also you can try to make a copy of corrupted files. (It could work) : http://www.filerepairforum.com/forum/microsoft/microsoft-aa/word/968-i-would-be-grateful-for-any-help-to-repair-or-the-procedures-word-files

I lost my ipad4 please help me find it

i lost my ipad4 please help me find it

Unless you enabled Find My iPad on it before it was lost then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did enable it then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone / Find My iPad on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc.

Creative Cloud Lost My Story File - Please Help

I can not access a five-page file I created yesterday on Adobe Story. Please help - this is beyond irritating. Here are the details:
I am a Creative Cloud member.
Yesterday, I signed in to Adobe Story for the first time, entering after I'd signed in to my Cloud membership.
I don't know if I was in Adobe Story free or Plus, but I did NOT install any apps on my PC.
The browser window for Adobe Story had a bunch of sample files for Paladin - it looks like an example project.
Since I could not figure out how to add a new project, I just started my file (a character bio) within the Paladin example set of files.
I saved my file as I worked - and to make sure it would persist, I signed out and signed back in, to verify it was still there. It was there all afternoon, each time I signed out and signed in
Then I went home and tried logging in to the Creative Cloud and Adobe Story from home, to continue working on the file -- Poof, it was gone, and the Adobe Story window I saw from home had no files at all, and no Paladin project.
I thought it was just some wierd local PC issue, and hoped I'd fine the files when I logged in from my office PC, which I did today. No luck - there are no files showing today (none at all, no Paladin stuff, no sign of my personal doc) when I sign in to Adobe Story from work.
This is ridiculous - I pay for Creative Cloud, I signed in, it killed my work.
Please help me fix this. I will send my Adobe ID asap if you tell me where.

Hi Austinbirdman,
We are extremely sorry to hear about the inconvenience you faced but Story is a web service and should work with all the browsers.
In case you face similar issue please clear the browser cache and try again.
Happy writing!!
Regards,
Anjali

I cannot recal pages files get message " Lost xmi file any help me please

I cannot recall pages files and get message "Lost xmi files any ideas please

First thing is cease all activity on the computer and usb
drive that the files were on that your trying to recover. Next use
a friends PC or get access to the internet and obtain a file
recovery program such as LSoft they have a nice program called
Active@ File Recovery Professional that even recovers a lost
partition and formatted hard drives and usb thumb drives.
The key is to cease any more activity from the time of
discovery of the lost file to have the best chances at recovering,
overwritten, lost and acidentally deleted files. I have used it
recover a relatives overwritten photos from a digital camera only
two photos out of 47 were not recovered and this was probably
because of the computer being used three days even after he
overwrote the photos with similar file names within the same
directory.
I recommend the Professional version for the price to others
that are out there and because this version recovers lost
partitions.
http://www.file-recovery.net/
The standard is $29.95 professional is $44.95 and is has great
ratings on www.download.com search for it there.

Hello all,
Please help me with this,
I back my Q10 files up and did software update for the last update and then I tried to restore the file and keep showing this message..
"The BlackBerry ID associated with this back up file doesn't match the blackberry ID on this device, the data couldn't be restored"
Although am singing in with the same ID.

Well, thanks for your kind and it didn't work Bro.
What aa shame that Blackberry just ruin people life and work like this easy, blackberry knows the people over world using BlackBerry phones for work.. for work... for work... so it's the most important thing to get a backup and restore... am not asking them for more application or more stability in the system or anything else than backup and restore.. I lost my work their BlackBerry and really won't trust it again... because it felt out my eyes.
Ridiculous.
