Project file disappears after iMovie crashes. Can I recover the file?

Working on an iMovie 9.0.9 project when the SBOD starts up and then the program crashes. I reopen iMovie but when I attempt to open the file it no longer shows up in the Project folder window. The file still appears in the iMovie Project folder on the external hard drive were it was stored, just not within the program. Attempts to recover the file from Time Capsule backup result in the file opening with no content. All attempts to open it from that folder result in nothing showing up. This is the second file I have lost in the last week. I've been working on this project for several days and have been able to open the file each time until the crash. Never had this problem before I updated iMovie in mid-May.
I'm running an iMac Early 2008, with 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Processor, 4 GB 800 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Memory, Graphics ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256 MB, Software OS X 10.8.3. Using an Iomega USB 1.5 TB external HD for file storage and Seagate 3TB HD for Time Capsule.

If you use Acrobat's Searchable Image (Exact) then the image is untouched and present.
If you use Acrobat's Searchable Image the image is still present but has be "tweaked" by Acrobat so the image isn't the "original" (not "exact").
If you use Acrobat's ClearScan the original image is gone. Recognized characters are replaced with an Acrobat internal font. Characters not recognized are left as a bit-mapped image.
As the first two above still have the image you can use Acrobat XI to Save As Other and select a supported image file format.
Be well...

Firefox will not show links to flv files. I get the error message for each flv file: "File not found. Firefox can't find the file at (path) .flv." Any mov and swf files in this same path will show. I can see the videos in Safari so the paths are correct.

Is this a webpage that contains a link to a flv file? Please post a link to the page and tell us which link(s) are the problem flv files or else post a link to the .flv file itself.
Alternately, click on one of the sample FLV File links on this page and tell us exactly what happens:
http://www.mediacollege.com/adobe/flash/video/tutorial/example-flv.html
It might also help if you post the exact error message, including the path to the flv file.
'''Note:'''
Depending on how you have Firefox set up, clicking on a FLV File link will either save the FLV file to your computer or Firefox may open it automatically in an external application right after downloading (Firefox may ask you first). Firefox itself can't play FLV files so you need a "helper" application (or a plugin for flv files, if ther is one. You can see if Firefox is already set up to download or open FLV files by going to Firefox Preferences and looking in the Applications list. Find the FLV file type in the list and, if the action is "Open with", it should show the application that can play FLV files (e.g., VLC Media Player or Perian). See [[Managing filetypes]] for more information.

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email but cannot find it on my hard drive or in recycle bin - it's in downloads but am unable to open from downloads - how can I recover the file?

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email (service provider is MWeb) but now cannot find it on my hard drive and it's not in the recycle bin. It does, however, appear in Firefox downloads but I'm unable to open it from there. How can I recover the file?

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.

If it was previously saved, you should still have that version. Any unsaved changes are gone.

Use migration assistant.
See http://pondini.org/OSX/MigrateLion.html
Although this is only up to Mountain Lion it is still relevant to Mavericks.. only expect Mavericks to kick and buck a lot more.

Can Acrobat create PDF files that once downloaded - can't be opened after some preset time (48 hours)?

Hi Edward lkeda,
I am not very sure of that however as per my knowledge , you can use Adobe send service and provide public link to your users and then after 48 hrs you can delete the file from server and make File-link inaccessible.
Hope that helps,
Please revert back for any further query. I will try my best to help you with your problem.

InDesign Crashed and Now Can't Open the File It Crashed On

I had a file open from a G4 server. I left and came back and my computer had gone to sleep losing the connection to the server. InDesign crashed with that file open and now I can't open the file at all I keep getting this error message:
Cannot open the document [document name]. You may not have permission or the document may be open already. For multi-user access, close the file and then lock it using the File > Get Info command in the Finder.
The document is not open, on the server I forced the permissions to be all read and write for everyone, I dumped my InDesign preferences. What else can I do? Has anyone had this problem before? (I am connected to the server now that I'm trying to reopen it.)
When I started InDesign after it crashed, it asked me to recover the file and I tried to but it didn't open anything (I was not connected to the server at that point which may have screwed things up) There are two files in the InDesign Recovery folder one called 'RecoveryData' and one called 'DBTmp239689402256' both of which don't open in indesign.

You may want to back up your work on a regular basis. Check out Retrospect or Retrospect Light. Lots of computers come with the light version so you may already have it.

Can I share the files on the time capsule for all of the macs on my network and can I access time capsule from my laptop while out of town?

I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro. If I purchase a time capsule, can I use it as the central location for my files for both computers? Can I access the files on the time capsule from my macbook pro when I am out of town?

Yes, with some provisos.. it is designed as primarily a backup location for Time Machine.
Look at Pondini who has a great deal of info in his KB of all things Time Machine .. as well as Time Capsule.
Q3 here. http://pondini.org/TM/Time_Capsule.html
Remote access is via BTMM and iCloud.. just look it up.
But the TC must be the main router in the network for it to work.

Do you have an iTunes backup?
Do you have an iCloud backup?
If the answer to both questions is 'no', then you cannot restore the data to your device, other than maually re-entering everything.

I accidentally formated iMac drive and lost data. How can I recover the iMac's HD data??

I accidently formated an iMac HD that I had connected to my MBP in target disk mode. (I also had a new WD harddrive connected to my MBP at the same time and was supposed to format the WD drive in disk ultility but clicked the wrong drive. I still can't believe what a boneheaded thing that was to do..)
Anyway, can I recover the files on the iMac and if so, how can it be done?
I can only connect to the iMac via target disk mode because the iMac display is not working.
I have not zero'd out the iMac's HD or written anything to it so I assume the data should be there all fully intact for the most part.

Thanks varjak paw and ds store. I ended up using data rescue 3. I called tech tool pro and they said that DR3 would probably help me. It did, it recovered what appeaers to be all of the files and a whole bunch of deleted files.
A couple of notes:
When I ran DR3, it kept giving me a disk slowdown error and said that the iMac disk might be going. Turns out my computer that I was running DR3 on had to be set so that it stayed on all the time (no screen saver, no disk or display sleep, etc.).
Another reason I went with DR3 over SubRosaSoft was that when I called DR3, I was talking to somebody alive in less than a minute and they transferred me to tech support where they gave me instructions on how to use their software. When I called SubRosaSoft, I couldn't get anybody alive to talk to after several tries.

Truecrypt volume is empty, but the volume was never deleted. How do I recover the files (I know the password to the Truecrypt volume)?

Earlier when I went to access my truecrypt password encrypted volume, it showed that it was empty, and it contained 0 files. I never deleted the files and I am the only person with the password.
I suspect it may be because (1) I tried making a password protected folder on disk utility or (2) tried to setup time machine and didn't quite work.
My question is: is it possible to recover the files, if so, how can I recover the files. I've tried manually powering the computer off, restarting the computer, reinstalling truecrpt.
Please help, I have many treasured pictures on the volume.

Hi,
DPM do not care about the Source File has changed or deleted, so SCDPM does not know if a File has been changed or is deleted.
So there is now known way to archive your Goal.
I can imaging that you can archive this Goal with a Powershelgl Script, but would be not this easy

IMovie files gone after a crash

Ok this is ******* me off all night already and I am about to throw my mac off the window...
This whole night I've been working on this music video and my iMovie encountered 2 crashes because of audio files error, both times I open it up the files are gone except for the ones I've already exported to YouTube. I am running the latest version of iMovie on Mavericks, a MacBook Pro Version 10.9.2. The funny thing is it indicates "All projects - 1 of 3 selected" while it only shows 2 exported projects, then where is the 3rd one? Because the 3rd one is the one I am working on and they took it away >< help me, please, all my hard work of 5 hours gone to... gone to I don't even know where!!!!

Not sure what Apple IS stands for and have no clue how to find mine.
Looking through my file and the box my computer came in and I don't have restore disks or codes for Mac or anything. (I do have the disks and codes for the Office:mac which Geek Squad also installed at purchase.)
I found the booklet that came with the computer. On the first page I find the title:
"Welcome to your MacBook Pro" and the facing page says, "OS X Lion" and pictures/descriptions of things I'm assuming came with the computer. It has Mission Control, Launchpad, Mac App Store, Mail, iPhoto, iMovie, GarageBand.
It makes me aware I should also have back iChat, iMovie and Garage Band (I hadn't missed those because I rarely used them) but those are missing too and used to be here.

Activating Project Professional 2010 after a crash

hi there:-
I am looking to reactivate/reinstall Project Professional 2010 after a crash. I have a product activation code having downloaded the software online (no disks). What do I need to do?
Much obliged
Tom

Tom,
It should be pretty straightforward. I assume you saved a copy of the .img file you downloaded to a location that was safe from your crash. Without that you're probably out of luck.
Just re-install from the .img file and when the installation gets to the part for activation, go ahead and activate it.
Hope this helps.
John
