Lost many files in transition to iCloud

MobileMe offered a great many more services than iCloud. I had hudreds of documents stored in folders on MobileMe. I was recently FORCED to move to iCloud, and now I can't even log into MobileMe and retrieve my documents. These documents represent hundreds of hours of work. The ***** of it is that my MobileMe account, for which I paid $99, has not yet expired, but I can't access it any more. When I try to log in now i just get told that I have moved to iCloud. Wouldn't it have been nice to tell users what they would lose in the migration. Apple is really screwing up.

You were not forced. You could have just continued using MobileMe, at least until June 2012. Or you could have continued to use MobileMe (again, until June 2012) and created a new iCloud account, switching between the two as desired.
In any case, don't worry. Your data is still on your MobileMe iDisk.
To access the MobileMe services still available to you, you must log out of iCloud first, then log into MobileMe. Read these for more:

The new Adobe Reader has lost many of my files.

The new Adobe Reader has lost many of my files.

Hello Doug,
Updating from Reader to Acrobat should not have deleted anything from your device. This was just another update that changed the name and icon, and added some new features for Acrobat DC Pro subscribers. Everything else for our Reader users should have remained the same.
I have a couple of questions:
Were you logged in to Acrobat.com, and were your files stored on Acrobat.com? If so, you may need to ensure that you log in to Document Cloud (the new name for Acrobat.com) to see the files.
Did you delete Reader from your device before installing the new Acrobat app? If so, unfortunately when you delete an app iOS deletes all of the local storage that app uses. For iOS to keep your files around, you need to just let iOS Update, rather than our users deleting and installing fresh. If this is what happened, I'm sorry, but I don't know how to retrieve your files.

Well, iCloud has nothing to do with this.
Do you have the built-in backup function Time Machine running on your Mac?

DOWNLOAD SAFARI AND RE-INSTALL to fix maps in IPhoto Places '09 8.1.2
I too lost my IPhoto Places maps on June 2nd. Initially I used Best Buy's Geek Squad tech support. The second tech was able to fix the problem. He said there was a corrupt file in Safari, not IPhoto. However, I didn't know what he did to fix the problem.
A week later, the maps were gone again. I tried to contact the same Geek Squad tech, but no luck. I talked to several other techs, but they could not find a solution, even though I told them about Safari. The last tech directed me to this web page.
It was here I learned about turning the WiFi off and on. That restored the maps to the pictures, but not the Big map.
Today, at the Apple Store Genuis Bar, I was told they were unaware of this problem. When I mentioned that Safari was where the problem was, he suggested I download Safari from the Apple Web page and re-install.
So far this is working! So happy all of the maps after two plus weeks.
I hope this helps others too,
Peggy

HELP! I LOST many apps after reinstalled the 10.2.1 OS

My phone is Z10, and the previous carrier is O2. (now I already unlocked it). Yesterday, I post an message about my phone 's problem, today I did , but after I reinstalled the 10.2.1 OS. Something happened. Please take a look and help me .
1. The starting windows image is changed (not China unicom or ).\ feels a little bit slower than before,
2. I lost many apps, the voice control、twitter、 youtube、music etc. Now my phone only have one page of apps( should be three page of apps). And the monitor doesn't have reaction when I tapped it.
3.when I recover my back-up, I found out only those apps from BBW or original apps recovered, the others not.
So what should I do now? I have tried twice to reinstall OS.

Based on the screenshot you didn't follow my instructions in the other thread and reinstall the OS using BB Link. You installed a developer version of the OS that you downloaded from somewhere that is incomplete. Please do the following if you're not using Link to install the OS officially:
1. Connect your device to your PC and make a full backup with BB Link (if you don't already have a backup.)
2. Download the correct autoloader for your device from the first post in the thread linked below. You need to know your full model number (i.e. STL100-1 (or -2, -3, -4) which can be found in Settings >About. Make sure you download the one for your model that contains the radio file. There is another crackberry thread that contains a newer radio file that you can load once you're all done if you want to have the latest and greatest. The process for loading a radio file is the same as this process but no need for backup/restore.

You will need to unzip the downloaded file from above before you can run it. If you don't have an unzipping application on your computer you can download 7Zip from here: http://www.7-zip.org/download.html
Close BB Link and leave the device connected.
Double click on the autoloader you downloaded.
The process should take around 5 minutes or so. when it's done, you'll need to complete the startup process before you can connect to Link and restore data.
When you're done you can restore your backup, though I recommend NOT restoring your Settings backup as it's best to start clean with this new OS but it's up to you. You may experience small bugs here and there from restoring the Settings portion of the backup. Media and Application data seem to be OK to restore.
This will install the correct version that has all the apps you're missing.

Lost CR files after exporting to jpg

I seem to have lost many original CR files after import > developing > export as jpg. I had made selects to develop and then output images as lower rez jpgs. When I went back to the original folders (on an external hd) those CR select files were missing / a gap in the photo sequence now exists and I cannot locate the originals regardless of searches. How is this possible?

Lightroom does not delete your photos unless you specifically tell Lightroom to do so, and this wouldn't happen in an Export operation anyway.
So I don't know how this is possible, but I'm pretty sure it can't be blamed on Lightroom
You need to:
1) check the Recycle bin; or if that doesn't work
2) restore the photos from backups, or if you don't have backups (why not?); or if that doesn't work
3) you can try to download something called an undelete utility and install it and see if it can find these photos (and if you are going to need this step, perform it immediately, do not do anything else on your computer)

Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open

I saved a file last night and now this morning I get an error message stating: "Photoshop CS5.1 Extended: Could not complete your request because there are too many Files Open. Try closing some windows and try again.". I've rebooted the system and made sure Photoshop was the only program running and that there were no other files open prior to trying to open my file. I increased Photoshops ram usage, checked the OpenGL settings, 3D and VRAM settings, cleared my temp files and am at a loss for opening this file.
System Specs:
Win 7 64
6 core I7 processor
32gb Ram
3GB VRAM
600gb free space on 7200 rpm drive
File specs:
1 3D object replicated maybe 5 times (yes, I should have rasterized them, and will do that to 4 of them if I get the file open)
Maybe 8 textures
Not sure how many total layers.
Is there anyway to get Photoshop to reopen this file?

No, more VRAM is useless. I had the same thought as you so I tried with a friend's computer with 3GB of VRAM for 8GB RAM (mine has 1GB VRAM for 16GB RAM). Still got the same error message. Sorry guys but our files are lost until Adobe fix the error in Photoshop code. I hope in the future they will find a way to either fix this error or give a clear limitation, it is really a shame such a dangerous problem exists and persists for more than 3 photoshop gen.
Still you may be able to have at least a flat image of your latest file by trying to open the file as smart object. I started my work over by doing that. Not a lot but better than nothing.
However for my new file I am trying something different : Each time I think a 3D file is final, I do not rasterize it but make it into a smart object and save the new smart object into a single separated .psd file. If any change is needed I can still edit all of my 3D objects by opening them separately. So far it works, the global file is lighter with few to no 3D objects inside but I will not say it is a 100% no-risk method yet.
Last advice I can give everyone : Before closing the file you are working on, save it as a copy (File / Save as... and check 'As copy' in the options below) then with your main file still open, try to open the copy. You may need a lot of memory if your file is heavy but still if the dreaded error message appears when you try to open the copy then remove or rasterize some 3D objects in your main one. Save again as copy and try to open the copy until you do not get the message anymore.

Restoring your phone to an earlier backup will replace the data on your phone with the data from the earlier backup, so you will lose any more recent data. Your only other option would be to purchase third party software that can read and selectively extract information from your earlier backup file, such as iPhone Backup Extractor.

I lost my files trying to up date my iPod touch can recover them?

I don't want to restore my ipod if I lost my files help me!

If they are an iPod backup than restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
To see what is in the iPod backup see:
iTunes: About iOS backups
If you restore from iTunes (vice iCloud) you have to have the apps in your iTunes library since they are not included in the backup.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Podcasting after MobileMe transitions to iCloud

I plan to start my podcasts in the near future, and appreciate the information found in this community on getting started. I plan to use my MobileMe account to host my podcasts. What will happen to the podcasts when Apple transitions to iCloud?
Can anyone point me to information on copyrights? For example, use of a portion of a music soundtrack in my podcast? Reading from a published book on my podcast?
Thanks

I would advise against starting a podcast on MobileMe at this stage. As its website hosting will be terminated next June, you will only have to go through the process of hosting the feed and media files on another service and moving iTunes to it: if you don't do this your podcast would simply cease to work. Any website hosting service can host your podcasts: there's nothing special about it.
This page gives you some 'get you started' information: http://rfwilmut.net/pc
As to copyright, to use any copyrighted recording or read text from any book still in copyright would be a breach of copyright, and likely to get your podcast rejected from the Store: and might possibly leave you open to civil actions for damages. It's possible to find music which is free to use: search on 'podcast sage' in Google: but you shouldn't use normal commercially available recordings.

How do I find out how many files I have, as an earlier version of iTunes told you at the bottom of the screen. Can you please help me.

I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc but can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account"

I have one paid mobileme account, few days ago I have done transition to iCloud and all my iDisk, contact... gone. Today I tried login to iCloud application on my windows pc (64bit) but I can not, it said "this apple id is valid but is not iCloud account". I can login on website icloud.com but can not login into iCloud application installed on pc. What's wrong?
I have tried another free apple ID and logged on. That's funny when I can login with free account and can not login with paid mobileme account!!!!!!

By the way - the only reason I downloaded iCloud is because Apple deleted the backup option from iTunes. Since iCloud doesn't work, I guess we have no way to protect our iTunes music collection. Absolutely stupid.

Please help me recover a lost PDF file from Adobe Reader XI

Hi,
I was filling out a VA form 5655 in Adobe, and twice today, I lost my file and I just cannot type all of this stuff again, because I had to do so much math and typing and more math. All of a sudden "bloop", it was gone. When I try to go into file, then revert, revert is not highlighted. I tried pulling up history and it said there was no history. I just don't know what else to do, and I need this for the morning. Please help? Thanks

Hi Pat,
I filled it out directly from the blank PDF online, and never got a chance
to save the whole document. I did however save it about 1/2 way through,
but yet cannot find that 1/2 of the document either. Thanks.
MIke
