Photoshop CC crashes, and my working file disappears from the network

I was just wondering, has anyone ever had Photoshop CC crash, and then realize the file you were working on disappeared off the network?
I've had other files where it created a 'recovered' file upon reopening of Photoshop, but the one that crashed it, is gone...
is there a way to allocate/recover that missing file?

There is typically no way to get back lost files, short of restoring backups.  I hope your administrator is backing up your server regularly.
May I suggest you change your working habits to avoid working on files directly on your network server.  Instead, copy the file to your local PC with your OS tools (e.g., Finder) and work on it there, save it there, then when you are done copy it back to the network server.
Adobe always advises not to save files directly to the network, because of the possibility that things can go wrong and data be lost.

    I tried to rename a file, it gave me an error message (can't remember the number - 43??) and then the file disappeared from the original folder. When I do a search, the file comes up under the new name, but it does not show a path, and even though preview shows the contents, I can't open the document (Powerpoint) and I can't move the document. I tried "Copy" and paste but it doesn't work. I tried "Share" with Airdrop and iChat, but the file is inaccessible. When i try to rename the file, it says the filename is too long.
    When I try to open it, it says the alias is not good, and asks if I want to fix the alias. I'm afraid to do that and lose all access to this document.
    Right now, it feels like a ghost document - it is on the computer intact, but it is in an undisclosed location and inaccessible.
    Please help!!

    I was able to resolve this by repairing permissions, even though no permissions error was listed specifically for that file.
    I could also have recovered it through Time Machine, but I'm interested in knowing how not to have this happen again!
    I was afraid of rebooting and possibly losing track even of the ghost.
    I did not try EasyFind - I'll keep that in mind next time.
    Thanks for all the comments.

    Keep tapping the B key and it should reappear, or click-hold/right-click on whatever tool is currently visible right below the eraser.

  • HT5330 My email crashed and my ICloud icon disappeared from my system preferences and was reverted back to mobileme which of course no longer functions and I can't seem to fix it. Any ideas?

    My email crashed and my ICloud icon disappeared by my system and reverted to mobile me which of course is no longer available. Any ideas on what to do?

    You'll actually need to order a snow leopard DVD first.  Then you can download mountain lion via the app store.  Confirm you meet the requirements:  http://www.apple.com/osx/specs
    If you dont, you might be able to get lion instead.  That's an order over the phone, to get a redemption code.
    And make sure you're actually contacting apple:  http://support.apple.com/kb/HE57
    You'll also want to confirm your 3rd party apps are compatible before an OS upgrade.  Of course, you'll also want to backup your data.

    ical (the calendar program) that came with this apple mac pc suddenly stopped working. When I pulled the icon from the desktop, it then disappeared from the computer.I have been using it from the desktop for the past two years, without trouble. It has uninstalled itself, without my intervention and has eradicated all traces of it, including all my entries from the computer memory. There is no program in the applications list. Can you say why this may have happened please?

    I opened one of the .calendar folders. There was a folder named Events which had either one or some files ending .ics. I opened several of these, which put up a dialogue window showing some parameters with data strings attached as follows :-

  • Help!! My linked text file disappears from the links palette

    I've set my preferences so that InDesign creates a link when placing text and spreadsheet files, and when I first place the file it appears in the Links palette just fine.
    However, as soon as I make a change in the original text file, it disappears from the Links palette!
    Any ideas what I'm doing wrong? I'm using CS2.
    Thanks very much!

    Just figured it out - Didn't notice that I wasn't setting the "Photo Credit" paragraph style. Problem solved!

  • Installing a Google Apps mail account as an Exchange cause Camera FaceTime and Photo Booth to disappear from the Deskotp and are not retrievable. A deletion of the mail account returns the functions immediately

    Brand ne iPad 3. Installing a Google Apps mail account as Exchange kills my Camera, Face Time and Photo Booth. They disappear from the Desktop and are nowhere to find or retrieve. Deleting the mail accoun t brings them back immediately. I have already full reset the device and updated the software with no result.
    Is there a solution?

    Yep, Meg, you were right and here are the steps which cure the issue. Disable camera is actually a basic Google Apps setting .
    Log in to your Google Apps Control Panel.
    Click on your 'Settings' tab.
    Under the 'Org Settings' tab locate 'Mobile Settings/Device Settings'
    Enable 'Allow camera'.
    Save changes.
    Re-Install Google Apps E-mail account
    It works perfectly fine now.
    Footy, my cat, sends you nice regards as well.

  • My Airport Express units and Apple TV are disappearing from my network for Airplay

    I'm using a BT Home Hub (third generation) as the centre point of my network. The Airport Express Units, and the Apple TV, are connected to it wirelessly, using the 'Join A Wireless Network' option in the setup.
    Although the units are visible on the network, they disappear from the Airplay menu on iOS devices and my MacBook Pro, and need to be rebooted to bring them back.
    Does anyone have any idea why this might be?
    The Apple TV Is now cabled to the router, which rectified a performance issue I had with it whereby films being streamed would stop periodically.
    Prior to this, I had the devices wirelessly connected to, and extending, an Airport Extreme network, being broadcast from my Time Capsule. I had to change this however, as the Airport Express units did not play music smoothly and would also disappear from the Airplay menu. I figured that the Time Capsule was at fault, as it's around 4 or 5 years old, and has been showing signs of ageing for a while now, however this new problem has occured since.
    I'm tempted to replace the Time Capsule, with a new Airport Extreme unit and external HDD unit to continue wireless Time Machine backup of my three Macs, but don't want to do this if not strictly necessary.

    Is there a way to stream internet audio to these devices?
    You might want to take a look at Airfoil for Mac to be able to stream any source on your Mac to the AirPort Express.

  • More and more photos progressively disappearing from the Book

    Hi,
    Please help me! I've invested a ton of time into this book and am hoping that someone can have a fix instead of me doing the book over. I've bought Apeture for the next time I do one, but please, please tell me there is something that can be done to fix this!
    I uploaded about 700 photos to my library. Some of the photos came from the same camera and thus had the same names. I assumed this would be okay as I figured that iPhoto would append something to the name/not use the file name as the key/or however this thing works. I've also posted this as a bug and have tried all the things the genius bar people told me to do/had them do some of the things for me, though this didn't help.
    Basically, after importing the photos, I put them in an album, sorted them, and deleted some of them, then I made a Book with about 170 photos in it, about 60 pages long, with several intro pages in there. During this process, I weeded out more photos from the book - I started out with more pictures then 170 and I got down to 170 by looking to see which look nicer in the layout and deleting the ones that were not as nice, just from the book, not from the album. I've also emptied my trash since then, both in iPhoto and in the trash on the macbookpro, to make room for the back up library later, to try to fix the problem as below.
    Symptoms:
    1. Thumbnail images in Book above page display when in page mode not updating the text on intro pages for days on end, despite a restart of the app, computer, rebuilding library, etc.
    2. Pictures are progressively disappearing from my Book
    Pages not updating - Thumbnail shows a page filled with pictures when in page mode, but when you are looking at the page itself, below the thumbnails, the picture is missing
    3. The pictures in the thumbnails and the pictures on the pages when in page mode went missing - in both places
    4. When you try to drag a picture that has disappeared into the book from the album, it "bounces back" - thinks that it's already in there. When you make a duplicate, you can drag the duplicate in (and this has been my pathetic workaround, which I am hoping not to do if you have something better!) And in any case, this is a bug and you should be able to replicate it by uploading pics with the same name, then moving some into the trash with the same name but a different photo then those in the book.
    Anyway, I think that what's happening is that the Book is "confused" and thinks that the pictures deleted have been moved to the trash, when they really have not, they just have the same name. Somehow, the book is possibly ignoring the _copy that it's supposed to have in the name. Good grief! Help!

    Ben:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    Thumbnail shows a page filled with pictures when in page mode, but when you are looking at the page itself, below the thumbnails, the picture is missing
    What do you see if you try to view one of those "missing" image in the main library in the edit mode? Do you see a blank window with an exclamation mark in the middle?
    If that's the case, that means that iPhoto has lost the link to the original file. Since you've rebuild the library and that didn't bring them back, I'm afraid your only option is to start over with a new library and import the original files from the old one as follows:
    Creating a new library while preserving the rolls from the original.
    Move the existing library folder to the desktop.
    Launch iPhoto and, when asked, select the option to create a new library.
    Drag the Originals folder from the desktop into the open iPhoto window.
    This will create a new library with the same rolls as the original library. However dates on the rolls may be different but can be edited as you would the roll title.
    Once this is completed you can delete the Originals folder from the desktop and the iPhoto Llibrary folder. If desired, you can keep the older library folder to try other fixes on it.
    In the future I recommend you make a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto file after each import and after doing a lot of editing and organizing in the library. Then if you experience a similar crash all you need to do is replace the damaged database file with the backup copy and you'll be back to the same place in the library as when you make the backup. See the tip at the end of my signature.
    Hint: I create a separate library for each book that I create using iPhoto Library Manager. Then, like you, I put all of the photos I think I want into an album in my primary library and copy it to the book library with iPLM. I can add more at a later date the same way if necessary.
    When the book is complete, ordered and delivered I burn that book library folder intact to a CD in the Finder. This gives me an archived copy of the library that I can use at a later date to order another exact copy of the book regardless of what I do to my primary library.
    Do you Twango?
    TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
    I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

  • In the past, the downloaded file used to stay in the download window. all i had to do was click on it to open it. now, when the download is complete, the loaded file disappears from the download window. how do i get it to stay, as before?

    i must have changed some parameter somewhere in my attempt to make my computer more secure. i'm not sure which parameteter needs to be reset.

    You can not run executable files from the download dialog, this is a security measure.
    If you want to bypass this security measure you can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/207/ OpenDownload] add-on. This add-on has not been updated for a couple of years, but somebody has made a newer version, also called [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/10902/ OpenDownload], but this version has not yet been reviewed by Mozilla.

  • A pdf saved to my work file disappeared from my computer when I closed it. What is going on?

    This has now happened twice -- yesterday and today. I have never had this problem before. I have a PC that uses Windows 8.1. Even a find of the computer cannot find the lost documents. Please let me know if there is any way to find them.

    Hi, Bill:I had received a pdf via email to work on and did a Save Us to put the pdf into my file for the client. I have done this numerous times over the years without a problemA few days ago, however, despite saving the file in the client's folder, the two pdfs completely disappeared when I closed the file before attaching them to the email I was about to send. This has never happened before! I did a find on my computer, but they were completely gone. Also, they did not show up in Adobe's Recent Documents feature.
    Do you have an idea of what might have happened? Since their loss, I have been double saving the documents in two place.
    With many thanks,Judi

  • HELP!! : Music and Video lists have disappeared from i-touch 2nd Gen

    Hi,
    I've got the new iPod touch 16GB.
    Today after synchronizing, all my Music and Video lists have disappeared from the menus. It also shows nothing in the iTunes browser, however the Storage bar on the summary screen is full with "Other", in an orange color but there's no media on it.
    Does anyone know what's going on here and why I can't access the files any more?
    Apps and other data were still there and all working fine.
    Any help would be really appreciated.....

    Too much (more than a few hundred MB) orange "Other" indicates an interrupted or corrupt sync.
    A restore will remedy this. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • In Windows 7 I mistakenly un-installed Adobe Application Manager and all applications (CS3E, CS5 and Elements 6) have disappeared from programs on the start menu

    WIN7: Mistakenly un-installed Adobe Application Manager and now all Adobe apps (CS3, CS5 and Elements 6) have disappeared from the programs list in the start up menu.
    CS5 Bridge is still there so I can get into the photo editor to de-activate it and re-install.
    However, all of CS3 has disappeared so I cannot get into it to de-activate.
    Question 1: Will downloading and re-installing Adobe Application manager get CS3 automatically back?
    Question 2: If not, what to do to get CS3 back things working properly again? Remember, I can't de-activate it.
    Thanks and have a happy day!

    Don't worry about activation unless you are installing on a new and different machine. Simply reinstall in order. It should all work.
    Then install any updates. Product updates
    After that, let me know how it went and if there are any further questions.

  • Deleted Files disappeared from external drive but space is still occupied ( iMac )

    Hello all...
    I have this problem.
    Whenever I delete items from my external hard drive, using iMac (running mavericks), the files disappear from the drive window but their space will be still occupied. if i format the drive using my mac, everything will disappear & the whole drive capacity would be available for use.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Unless you empty the trash while the external is attached, the files will remain in the trash. You will gain back your space after you empty it.
