Lost work on illustrator file..Please HELP!

I was working on a logo in Illustrator & had forgot to save it again...my laptop died, when I turned it back on & went to open the file a few days later all of my recent work on the file had been lost! Is there anyway to recover this work or would it have saved anywhere when my laptop shut off...if anyone has any ideas please let me know I have lost hours of work...thanks!

If it was never saved, it's irrevocably gone — it just doesn't exist anywhere any more.

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

I can no longer save illustrator files, please HELP?

I have work saved on my mac that for some reason can no longer be saved as a illustrator file, to be honest there is quite a bit. I can save it a EPS or PDF but not Ai. Does anyone one have a solution for my problem? Or can i just save all work as EPS what effect will this have in the long run?? Cheers guys.

Hi Jacob
I have tried searching for them files in spotlight but nothing of that file name is found. I have also tried holding the command buttons mentioned when illustrator starts up but still no joy i cannot save ai files in my first user account. I have also tried go to folder, still no joy. The folder with illustrator settings cannot be found...
Should i just save all work to disk and then delete the first user and start again in the user where ai files can be saved? Or should i remove illustrator, reinstall and look for the folder again?
Could you please in simplest form tell me how to find the folder in question, so that i am not missing something in my stress...
I appreciate your help with this matter jacob and your patience...

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.

Subject: Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?
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)?

I work on the CompactRIO 9068 that the password is lost for some time.
Please help me to reset it, for finish my end of study project.
Thank you,

but the page of ni support does not work:
https://sine.ni.com/srm/app/newrequest
and I have the recovery.cfg file from NI with this steps :
1. Copy the recovery.cfg file, found in the zip folder attached at the bottom of the email, to the thumb drive.
2. With the cRIO device powered off, plug in the USB drive to the controller.
3. Hold down the reset button while powering on the controller. Continue holding the reset button until the status light turns on, then release the reset button.
4. Wait for the controller to boot. This should take less than a minute.
5. Check that the password has been reset to the default. (you will still be prompted for a password even if the default is blank)
6. Reinstall software to the controller. Using the USB reset will leave the system in a state where it is unable to run LVRT
I have followed the procedure as mentioned
Result: the LED "Status" is permanently blinking.
Would you please provide as with another alternative so that we can fix this issue.

Hi
You need to find the format of the drive by looking at its info, my guess would be you are currently in NTFS (windows only) mac can use any mac os journaled or non journaled, or you can use fat32 which is usable on both pc and mac but is unable to move files over 4GB so no good for large file transfers. You will need to re format at some point but this will delete everything currently on the drive.
Hope this helps

DW CS3 conflict with server & uploading files (please help?!?!)

I work with one other person and although we work on files locally, when one of us tries to push a file up to the remote server we get an error that reads:
"name of person" is currently working on that file (Please enable Check In/Out in the Site Definiteion dialog box to avoid overwirting changes made by otehr users.) Do you want to upload the file anyway?
Neither one of us has enabled Check in Check out feature either. My question is that I know this person isn't even in Dreamweaver or connected to the server. Two strange things:
1) Dreamweaver gives the actual person who is trying to upload the error saying that they are currently working on the file.
2) Dreamweaver actually gives me that error message but it's telling me that someone who left the office over two years ago and who I know no longer has an account on the server. How can she currently be working on a file or even linked to that file name???
We thought this glitch would go away when we got new PCs and loaded CS3 but it hasn't. Does anyone have any suggestions to help me figure out why we keep getting these issues.
THANKS!!!

That's a server side issue. Either its timeouts are set way too liberally (to the server, your FTP connections never seem to end) or it creates a new session for every time you log on. Both are fundamentally wrong and from your description I get the impression that the machine is also otherwise not being maintained properly. Time to fly in the admin, I'd say.

How to view corrupted word files, please help?

Can't view doc corrupted file .How to recover unsaved documents WORD? how to view corrupted word files, please help

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
But if nothing helps, you can try to recover it by using DOCX Viewer Tool Download free demo versions of this software from website: http://www.docx.viewertool.com/ It’s

Does anyone know why my music won't play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I tried resetting it already and that didn't work. Can someone please help?

Does anyone know why my music wont play on my 7th generation iPod nano? I've tried resetting it already but that didnt work. Can someone please help.

I would to a Restore. Select the iPod in iTunes. Go to the Summary tab for the iPod. There is a button there to do a Restore. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. After Restore complete, try playing songs on the iPod again.
If THAT does not fix the problem, and it's not bad headphones (since you also tried the "speaker"), there is probably a hardware problem on the iPod. All 7th gen nanos are still under warranty. If you have an Apple Store nearby, you should take it to the store's Genius Bar. To minimize waiting, you can make a reservation on store's web page.

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.

HT5035 I had to change my id & have lost my gift card balance please help?

I had to change my id & have lost my gift card balance please help?

Did you change the Apple ID for an existing account? Or did you create a new Apple ID? If you created a new Apple ID, your balance will still be tied to the old account and you'll have to log into the iTunes Store using that old account to spend the balance. If you changed the ID on an existing account and can no longer see a credit balance, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.
