LOST PROJECT PLEASE HELLLPPPP!!!!!

I accidentally closed my project and its gone.It has all my sequences (like 20) and over a thousand clips. So please help I need this project really bad!!! Do you think that it is on my computer somewhere?

Search for the AUTOSAVE VAULT. There should be backups there. If you turned that feature off, like many are apt to do...shame.
Also, just do a search for your projects name...

Visual Studio 2005 The remote connection to the device has been lost. Please verify the device connection and restart debugging.

Basically I've been using Visual Studio 2005 for a few weeks now moving a Pocket PC project from 2003 to 2005. When I hit the Start Debugging Button every time until today the project would rebuild and deploy to my pocket PC allowing me to debug etc but now I get
The remote connection to the device has been lost.

I used to get this problem in VS2003 sometimes and just like the numerous posts on different sites that I've looked at the problem eventually goes away and I'm none the wiser. One guy said that he found that if he went to bed the problem was resolved when he came back!
My PDA running Windows 2003 2nd Edition is directly connected to my PC via a USB port. I've rebooted my PC and done a soft reset on the PDA but it didn't help. I'm using ActiveSync 4.1.
Does anyone know how to resolve this problem?

I still can't debug. I have just tried a hard reset and I get the same problem

Error while approving change document(TR lost project code)

Hi All,
I am having issue in change document approval, when we are approving change document for unit testing or if release management approving change for pre-production or production approval, we are getting error, I started coming from last two days only,\
when I did detail analysis, in all transports project code related to change document, disappear
although if I create new change document, project code appear,
Do we have way to solve this issue?, I even not able to decouple the transport from change document, it giving error, do we have way where we can resync change document and transport?
Dinesh

Hi All,
Do anyone have some solution for this issue?, it is bigger than I thought, I can check it impacted all systems, and all transports, all transports seems to issue they lost project code in it we rollover maintenance cycle last week and this problem started from their, we put charm master note and few other charm fixes(notes) last week,
this problem not coming any new change document, but all change document created before rollover impacted

Advice on splitting an application amongst projects; please.

Advice on splitting an application amongst projects; please.
Hi jDev Team. Please advise on how you envisioned a developer (or developer team) to split up a large scale enterprise application amongst projects. For example, a typical accounting system with AR, AP, Inventory, and Order Entry. I would be inclined to have each of these modules as a jDev project in the same workspace, but the problem is that you really need to further segment the project for the various tiers.
On the other hand, is it possible to setup different workspaces and somehow relate the workspaces together, because its really one big intermingled application, where the end user needs simultaneous access.
Please advise. TIA.
-Nat

Right now we just use workspaces to contain all projects for various tiers. We're working on a more hierarchial structure for the future, but for now we just put it all into one workspace.

Anyone help ol' man with Cocoa project, please?

Hi all,
I recently volunteered to help transcribe Birth, Marriage and Death (BMD) records dating back to 1837 for FreeBMD -- a registered charity -- to help folks trace their family trees online. Unfortunately, while the Mac software has some nifty features, it's still really s-l-o-o-w and tedious to use and I reckon the speed and accuracy could be increased 3x using a slightly different approach.
I was reasonably okay with 'C' in the old days but never quite managed to get my head around OOP yet (probably due to my age). The app I have in mind consists of an ultra-simple text editor (a la Apple's 15 minute example project) with combined bare-bones image/PDF viewer plus a few extra bells and whistles, and I've already designed the interface -- about as far as I can get for now
I see a lot of really knowledgeable folks replying to postings in this discussion group, many with huge numbers of posts under their belts, and I reckon this would be considered a fairly 'trivial' app that could be knocked out during a long coffee break for anyone experienced in Cocoa programming.
If you feel you'd like to help with this charitable, not-for-profit project, please email me at "ojisanATadamDOTcomDOTau" and I'll send you what I've got, together with some good sample code that clearly addresses most of the problems.
Your input will help me get a handle on what eludes me about OOP (I learn really well by example), make life easier for all the Mac volunteer transcribers out there, help MILLIONS of hobbyists trace their ancestors quicker (genealogy is the #1 hobby in the US, and probably also in Australia, UK, and Canada etc.), and help level the playing field with Windows (their transcription solution is currently better than ours).
Kind regards
Ernie

I aim to please.
As for .NET, the major language for .NET development is C#, and this language is clearly based on Java with a few minor syntax changes. It uses exactly the same object model as Java, and even the underlying technology is similar to the Java Virtual Machine.
I'm not attempting to convince you, just set the record straight.
As long as we are setting the record straight, we should clarify a couple of things. .NET is the "virtual machine" part. You can use C#, J#, VB, or even a slightly twisted variant of C++ with .NET. For those of us who spent a few formative years swearing at MFC, .NET is a significant improvement.
I haven't done much with .NET but I find it to be very much like Cocoa, both in the functionality it provides and the slightly twisted way you have to use it. In Cocoa, you have to use Objective-C or Objective-C++. In .NET, you have to use Microsoft's own slightly strange variants. If you can understand all the brackets, receivers, and messages in Cocoa, you shouldn't have any trouble with all the carets in .NET C++.
You're quite right, it's obviously much less effort to write a program in Cocoa and then re-write it for .NET, than it is it to write it in Java in the first place and run it unchanged on three different platforms. Java is so portable that a Java program written on one platform doesn't even have to be re-compiled to run on another. If you write a program using Cocoa then you limit your market just to Macs - very much a minority platform compared to Windows. Write your program in Java and your market is literally unlimited.
Everything you've said here is correct. Still, every Java program I have ever seen is clearly a "Java" program and usually cannot achieve the same level of integration with the OS that either .NET or Cocoa gives you by default. Java programmers still have to make an effort to ensure that their programs run and run well on platforms they didn't develop it on.

My Iphone lost Safari, please help me restore it

My Iphone lost Safari, please help me restore it

So a Spotlight search on your phone to search for Safari and click the App. Once you verify that it is still on there you'll just have to look for it.
If the App isn't listed, try a restart/reboot of the iPhone holding the home button and sleep/wake switch. If the App still doesn't show itself in the OS or via Spotlight, restore the phone via iTunes.

I lost project files, found them and lost them again...

How do you recover lost project files in Aperture? I had them one day and they were gone the next day.

So when you looked in the library tab of the Inspector the projects and albums were not there or do you mean when you looked in a project the images weren't there?
What did the Best Buy associate to to recover what was lost? Knowning that would make this a lot easier.

HELP! Extremely Worried for Film Project (lost files) (please read urgent)

Okay so here is the dilemma-
Here I am tonight, plugging away at the editing process for a short film that I filmed in California back in February, and have had various other film producers and buddies filming at random times out there since. I had all of my footage on a WD Storage drive (this included pretty much all of the video files), and I had already imported all of the files into premiere and was about to begin editing the footage with them. Suddenly, I noticed that I was going low in memory space on my hard drive that I was working on, so I saved my Premiere File, then selected it, dropped it over into the WD Storage Drive that also contained all the footage from the film, and clicked on it to open it from there. However, when I opened the premiere file this time, it asked me to located "MVI_6104.mov", the first .mov file out of 400 that I had in there... and I couldn't find it. I looked for the source files in the new hard drive I'd just moved my premiere file into (where they just were at), i looked for them in my old hard drive, and in the three additional hard drives I have sitting next to my Mac... but the files had simply vanished without a trace. I checked the trash, nothing, and I havent deleted any files all night. They're simply gone, and I've hand combed every inch of every hard drive... will someone please help me? Without this footage I am dead and I am willing to get it back at all costs. Already ran a few of the free data recovery scans, but to no avail.. they picked up nothing. I literally have no idea what happened and I am currently having a panic attack. Thank you so much for your time and I really hope you can help me find an answer.
Thanks.
-Colin

@JudeCotter-
The files used to be in a clearly marked folder on my hard drive labelled "Death Rides The Apocalypse Source Files" (the name of the film). I've searched every hard drive I own for the files and nothing. I can't find even a trace of them existing in the first place. The entire folder that used to be there is gone along with the files! Very strange.
@shooternz-
Thanks. I searched the external drive first with data deletion recovery services, then by myself and I hand combed through all of the folders and video files. I even specifically searched the drive for file names in case I missed something, but nothing. I run OS X 10.6.8, and Premiere Pro CS5.5 The original source files were on the external hard drive with a tetrabyte of space that I attempted to move the PPro project onto, but now their original folders, names, files and everything have literally vanished. The project file doesn't matter since I just started editing but I lost all of the footage in there. The external hard drive still has around 765.3 GB of space left so I doubt I killed it simply moving a project over , but you never know. It was odd, when I moved it, the "Move In Progress" window with the twisting progress bar flashed for a second that it was to move 186.5 GB (which would accurately be around the amount of footage we had), but suddenly flashed and just moved it over in a second. Maybe this will shed some light. I'm extremely confused and worried. Thank you.

IMovie crashed, lost project. How do you SAVE in iMovie? Where's the file?

Just spent 4-5 hours building a complicated movie from a year's worth of footage. At some point, iMovie crashed. I think I lost all those hours of creative decision making, since I cannot see the file when I reopen iMovie.
There is no "open" command in the file menu. There is no "save" command in the file menu.
This would imply that Apple was autosaving for me to save me trouble. Hmm. I can save in almost every program I use, and revert, and save versions.
How do you save a project in iMovie? I don't see save in the file menu, as has been the steadfast tradition of Apple applications since I purchased my first Mac in 1984. What in the blazes have you done with SAVE? It is so basic.
Along the same line, where is the project file located on my hard drive? I would like to open it. Since I assume you have been autosaving to somewhere, could you please let me know where my file is saved.
<Edited by Host>

This just appeared to happen to me too. I tried clicking on the file in Movies/iMovie Projects. That didn't work.
Then, I made a copy of the file in a safe place. I noticed it was 2.2 MB, so something had to be in there. Next, I started iMovie and clicked the Project Library arrow. The project was listed there. I opened it and got back most but not all of the work. It lost a lot of my audio changes. Here's the thing. I worked until about midnight, and then left iMovie up and running til noon. You would think it would have autosaved the changes by the time I came back. I suggest making your own copy of the file now and then, just in case.

Lost Project in Final Cut Pro X

I lost my entire project in FCP X. I edited for a couple of days and was very irritated by not being able to save it (though I checked on the internet and as everybody is talking about it I trusted that FCP X would save automatically). When I restarted the computer and programme there was only my imported files left in the Event Library (with their very current names, strangely enough), but the entire timeline and project was empty.
I went to Movies- FCP X- Project and opened the current version, but it's the same. They are just empty frames and I can find nothing of what I edited.
I know that many complained about losing bits and pieces with FCP X, but I wonder if there is a solution for losing the entire project!
Also, I'm using a free trial version but read that there are no limitations so I don't think this is the reason. Please reply if you have any idea what could be going on! Thank you.

Get "Preference Manager" from Digital Rebellion, it's free, and use it to delete the FCP X preferences.
If that doens't fix it, move the FCP X application from the Applications folder to the trash and download it again.

Can anyone help me find my lost project in iPhoto?

PLEASE can someone help me? I have lost my iPhoto library. I have tried searching by size with no luck. These are family photos and a year long project/book I have been working on. Back up did not work and I am desperate to find my photos and this major project. I would appreciate any help!

Your iphoto library by default is in your home/pictures folder, it is most likely simply called 'iphoto library', try a search by name and take a look in your trash.

Lost Projects and Photo's

From what I have read, I like many of you have lost all projects and images as soon as I did the upgrade. Being an old ****, I am having trouble trying to understand and retrieve all my files. Unsuccessful to-date, need help in layman's language.

Tell us more details, please, to see, if we can help.It is important to know the versions to see what might have happened.
as soon as I did the upgrade.
What were your previous versions?
What MacOS X version did you upgrade from?
What Aperture version did you upgrade from? Are you now using Aperture 3.5.1?
Where is your Aperture version stored? On your internal drive or an external volume?
What happens, when you launch Aperture? Does Aperture not launch at all? Do you get an error message or simply see an apparently empty Aperture window?

Help with getting Events into a Project please

I apologize if this topics been covered here or somewhere else on the Apple website(s), but I cannot get my Events into a Project in iMovie. I've read the directions, watched the videos, and looked at these pages but can't seem to find an answer. At this point, all I want to do is download video from my camcorder to save it and edit later (when I have more time). I managed to download video from several events from the flash drive on my Canon Vixia HF11 and it appears in the Events library. I can play it and select clips without difficulty. I tried to select all the Events (all together and separately) to move to a project (after opening a new project), but the cursor bounces back. It will allow me to select clips but this is very cumbersome and time consuming and I don't want to edit now - I want to save all the video. The "add to project" button doesn't work. Am I missing something? There must be some way to select ALL the video in all the Events I've downloaded to put into one project. BTW, we're only talking about 40 minutes of video. If possible, please post screen shots so that I can see exactly what to do. Any help is much appreciated.

no, not avail.
and 'off'-concept of that tiny edit-app:
when you import, you create a Library of all footage.
iM will split these videos (by date) into seperate 'Folders' = Events.
the idea of iM is, to offer you this Library to create a SELECTION of it for any given Project. there are very rare cases I can imagine, you add ALL material of one Event into one Project (in the Event Window hit apple-a), even a Lecture allows to edit here&there.
but adding all material from any imports into one Project? no. no need = no feature.

Can't open Garageband project, please help

I was using a Mac Mini, 10.7.5, and recorded some vocal tracks on Garageband 11. I clicked gospel choir vocal effect at first, and it was fine. When I wanted to try another effect by clicking another one, the application quit. When I tried to open the project again, the initializing window popped up, and a few seconds after, it said something like "Garageband quit unexpectedly, do you want to reopen to restore the windows". When I clicked "reopen", it directed me back to Garageband recent project page without opening the project I was working on. I tried to open other projects I worked on previously, and those could be opened; just not the one that I worked on recently.
I didn't back up anything with the Time Machine because I never used it before, didn't know how to use it.
I just saved the project to my USB drive, deleted the one on the Mac Mini, deleted Garageband, updated to iOS10.9 something, reinstalled the newest version of Garageband, tried to open the project from the USB drive, failed again.
When I open the "show package content", some mp3 files of my recorded vocals are there. I don't think all of what I recorded are there, but some.
Please help.
Thanks!
