Photoshop CC has completely deleted my file?

I have been working on a file for the last few weeks and save on a very regular basis and also have the autosvae option selected in preferences but Photoshop has crashed and completely deleted the file off the face of the earth???
I am working on a very important project and have a design session very soon and am now left with no .psd file to work with? I have looked for it everywhere and there isn't anything?
C:\Users\Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CC\AutoRecover\FOLDER IS EMPTY!!
ALL I HAVE BEEN LEFT WITH IS THE psED89.tmp file!
Very disapointed about this, is there anything that can be done?

This won't help you now, but I use Shadow Protect which records incremental backups every 15 minutes, so you would be able to retrieve the last saved version of the file further back than the last Shadow Protect backup. In fact you might have something like that in place.
We see a lot of unhappy people here who had things happen like a system crash part way through a save, which trashed the file being saved at that time. It figures that a big project is more likely to crash the system as well. So I never go more than an hour without saving to a new file name. I can't say that this has ever saved me grief, but knowing it is possible is way too scary to take a chance.
I also hadn't thought about mounting my Shadow Protect backup to access old data before your post, so I thank you for starting the thought process that got me there.
This link is not really relavent as it refers to mounting an image file, but it would get you on the right track if anyone felt like researching it.

I Can Not Completely Delete A File In iTunes,Even After Complete Search

I need to completely clean out iTunes and all Album pictures. Some where there is a folder or file, that keeps putting back exactly what I have erased. I need to make my Itunes and all songs new, but the artwork always comes back, even when Ii erased the pictures. What file do I need to take out of the system or my home folder. Do not tell me the album artwork folder. Thats been done 50 times.
I have deleted all of Itunes files,preferences,(All). When I re install iTunes and put my music back in all the music artwork comes back. I deleted back up,
I want to restart fresh and no album artwork.

Thanks ! but
No,because the images are from me. somewheres in the library in home folder or in the system library is a hitten file or a prerence,that keeps building my iTunes as it was before. I have completely deleted all and turned off all for the Apple Store. I have deleted iTunes and all related to it about 51 times now. I always find folders after in the artwork folder with many folders and a lot of numbers.
I sure hate to erase the whole hard drive. That file is not saying anything about iTunes either. I deleted the pictures for the albumns. Then I reinstall iTunes,went off line and still that crap comes up. It wont let me do a new iTunes.

Recovery Not Completely Deleting All Files

I wanted to have a clean start but after two recovery tries I am unsuccessful. The first time I tried to use the recovery from my hard drive but programs I had installed are still showing up and even files such as pictures and music are still there. I decided to try the recovery from the DVDs I created but came out with the same result.
How can I do a complete wipe and have a clean start?
Qosmio X505-880 with Windows 7 64-bit
Thanks!

I followed the process exactly as specified in the user manual (only very slight variances between exactly what it said & what was on the screen).
The first time from the internal drive:
- Press and hold the 0 (zero) key on your keyboard while powering on the computer.
- A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is executed all data will be deleted and rewritten. Click Yes to continue.
- When the Toshiba Recovery Wizard opens and the Selecting a process screen displays, select Recovery of Factory Default Software and then click Next.
- The Recovery of Factory Default Software screen appears. Select Recover to out-of-box state.
- Click Next. A confirmation message displays reminding you that all data will be lost during the recovery process. Be sure to save your work to external media before proceeding.
- Click Next to begin the recovery. When the process is complete, a message displays indicating that the internal storage drive has been recovered.
The second time from the recovery DVDs:
- Insert the first recovery DVD into your optical drive and power on the computer.
- When the initial screen displays, press F12. The boot menu appears.
- Using the arrow keys, select the DVD option and press Enter.
- The Selecting a Process screen appears. Select Toshiba Recovery Wizard and then click Next.
- A warning screen appears, stating that when the recovery is executed all data will be deleted and rewritten. Click Yes to continue.
- When the Toshiba Recovery Wizard opens and the Selecting a Process screen displays, select Recovery of Factory Default Software and then click Next.
- Selected "Recover to out-of-box state—If you want to recover the original factory image (returning the computer to its out-of-box state)."
- Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the recovery process.
- When the process is complete, a message displays, indicating that the drive has been recovered.
Apparently Toshiba can't figure it out either... Been waiting since this morning for a senior technician to call me back as their first line of "tech support" is completely useless... Very disappointed with the customer support- or lack there of- I've received so far!

Completely Delete a file

So i'm trying to delete a PDF file. I placed it in my trash, once i try to empty my trash it says: "The operation cant be completed because 'blah blah blah" is still in use.
Can Anyone help me?
Thanks!!

"So if the application was still using it how would i find that out?"
Reopen the app & quit out of app instead of just closing the window.
The option key should work though in emptying the trash.

IPhoto Library is Synced onto my iPhone can i retrieve the images from the library off my iPhone, as the library file has been deleted on my Macintosh.

Dear All;
I currently have a issue with my iPhoto & iPhone, i apologize if this is the incorrect area for assistance.
My iPhoto library has been synced with my iphone all my images/photos are saved onto the phone, but i want to put them back onto my Mac, unfortunately my iphoto library has been deleted (actual file). is there any way to achieve this?
i have tried syncing the photos but i believe it will delete them, and update with my current library (no images).
i have also tried to take the images off via iphoto & image capture but they only take newly taken images not the photos in the old library stored on my iphone.
i am using an iPhone 4S, Macbook Pro 2010 & current version of iPhoto.
Please advise if there is any way to move an iphoto library from iphone to mac.
Thanks & Kind Regards
Jordan.

Correct, you don't want to sync.
There are various apps that will recover images from an iOS device.
http://macupdate.com/app/mac/24832/ipod-access-photo
is one, but there are others.

How do I completely delete a picture so that it no longer appears anywhere on my mac?

I have a few pictures that I have deleted from messages that still appear in recent documents within preview. How do I completely delete these files? They were not saved to my documents or in iphoto. I opened them when I tried deleting them from my messages, and apparently preview made a temporary copy that will not delete, even after the mac has been shut off and restarted. I could remove the file from previews recent documents, but does that delete the file too? I want to make sure it is completely erased. I could move the file to my documents and delete it (right now it is in some crazy folder that wont show up in my finder) but would that just copy the file? Thanks in advance

When you export, try to get the full file path or else you will have to do a lot of manual searching.
If you downloaded the picture from Messages, the picture is stored in your User Library/Messages. to make your User Library visible, hold down the option key while using the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/Library/Messages/Attachments.
If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
http://osxdaily.com/2011/07/04/show-library-directory-in-mac-os-x-lion/
You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

Delete a file from the KM in a Web Dynpro application

Hello,
We need to delete a file from the KM in a Web Dynpro application.
We have a file name (filename.txt) and its path (/documents/Test/), how can we completely delete the file from the KM?
Thanks,
Gil

Hi venkata reddy,
You wrongly mentioned system admin instead of content admin
Go to Content administration not in the system administration
if u delete the file manually in the portal you can go with
go to Content administration -> KM Content -> go to Particular document -> just tick the check box which doc u want delete -> go to selection -> u will find delete .

My photoshop won't open, it says that the preferences file has been deleted. What do I do?

I was just working in my photoshop with no problems, I had just downloaded a free trial pluggin (Filter Forge) but that wasn't working, so I tried to close photoshop to re open it and it wasn't responding so I had to force quit it, and when I went to reopen it this box pops up..... "Could not initialize photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)" I looked up how to fix this and I went under the library on my MAC to try and find the preferences file to move it because they said that would help, well I forgot.....the file has somehow been deleted. My other option that I haven't tried yet is to open photoshop and do the shortcut keys that resets everything but Im nervous to do that because I don't know what will get reset. Any help will be awesome I have several projects Im working on and need to finish!
Thanks

If you have not saved your custom presets for some time you should naturally lose those when opening with cmd-alt-shift pressed and selecting to "delete settings file" – but you can consider this a learning experience.
Apart from the presets you also need to set your Preferences (Interface, Performance, …) again after that if you had in any way changed them from the default settings.

CS6 Photoshop reads this when attempting to "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). HELP!

Finally got a call this morning from an Adobe Rep and he explained to me the issue. He explained that I needed to uninstall the adobe product, in this case Photoshop CS6 and download it again and reinstall it! So, I did that and get the same message when attempting to open the newly downloaded software: "Could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted). Please, if someone could help me as soon as possible! I am very anxious to remedy this situation. Thank you!

This seems to have cropped up a lot recently. What has seemed to work so far is intentionally resetting your preferences:
Reset Preferences
1) Close the program and press Ctrl+Alt+Shift (Win)/Cmd+Option+Shift (Mac) during startup (not reversible)
or
2) Move the Folder. See:

CS5 - Photoshop won't start: preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted)

Environment:
Win7 Ultimate - 4 gig ram - CS5 Design Premium
Seemingly out of the blue - Photoshop stopped loading and I'm getting two error messages :
first: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 Extended: "Could not load actions because an unexpected end-of-file was encountered
second: ADOBE PHOTOSHOP CS5 Extended: "could not initialize Photoshop because the preferences file was invalid (it has been deleted).
I've deleted the two Preferences Files - but they don't seem to repopulate on startup - (or if they do they are deleted per the error message)
I tried copying a Preferences file from another working machine but that failed as well.
In addition: Dreamweaver is kicking out the following error messages - but opens and seems to work normally.
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: Unable to open script file C:\Program Files (x86) Adobe\Adobe Dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Shared\Spry\Designtime\EditingUtils.js (error 2).
The following JavaScript error(s) occurred: Unable to open script file "C:\Program Files (x86) \Adobe\Adobe dreamweaver CS5\Configuration\Shared\Common\Scripts\dwscripts.js" (error 2).
I'm in the middle of a big project and need to get back up quickly - any help would be much appreciated.
Thx.

Run photoshop as administrator holding Ctrl + Alt + Shift, that should trigger a preferences reset prompt.
If that won't work I would do a backup and delete the entire Adobe Photoshop CS5 Settings folder, not just the two files you mentioned.
As for your Dreamweaver issue, try deleting WinFileCache-********.dat (or FileCache.dat) from your Dreamweaver Config folder.
Otherwise try deleting your preferences
Exit Dreamweaver.
In Windows Explorer, navigate to C:\Users\Your User Name\AppData\Roaming\Adobe.
Rename the Dreamweaver preferences folder:
Dreamweaver CS5: Rename the Dreamweaver CS5 folder to, for example, Old Dreamweaver CS5.
Choose Start, type regedit in the Start Search, and then press Enter.
In the left pane of the Registry Editor, navigate to the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Adobe
Remove the Dreamweaver preferences registry entries.
