Really odd-lost file

I only have two files in Pages that I'm using and they are
logged timesheets that I made to find footage for Final Cut Pro.
I both documents opened yesterday and went to open
Pages today scrolled to open recent and only one was there.
An extensive search turns up nothing.
I search Pages on the HD and the only document that
shows up is the one that was there when I first  did "open recent".
Its not in the trash and don't remember anything out of the ordinary
yesterday when I shut down.
I have hours of footage logged on that docunment and it is easy to access scenes
with one word searches.
Any ideas how else to search?
Thanks.

seems like the whole computer name is changed when I connect my computer to the network not just the afp settings in remote management it says others can manage your computer using trainlaptop

  • Really Odd Crash

    There's a really odd bug / crash that happens under these very specific circumstances.  Unfortunately I can't upload an FLA here, so I've provided a download link from a 3rd party site.  If you don't feel comfortable with that, I've listed the steps to recreate the error below.
    (Note: Don't click the giant download buttons, click where it says "Save file to your PC: click here")
    http://www.2shared.com/file/qJWkGney/PrivateVideoChat.html
    http://www.2shared.com/file/M5tNwwRL/PrivateVideoChatExample.html
    If you don't feel comfortable with that, here's a description on how to recreate the error:
    1. Create a new AS3 FLA
    2. Under AS3 Settings -> Library Path, import the flash only player 10 AFCSFlash.swc
    3. Import rpc.swc from the FLEX sdk into the library path
    4. Create a movie clip and put text object in it.  Don't put it on the stage -- leave it in the library.
    And then to make it work with the document class...
    5. Add a Button component and name the instance connectButton
    6. Add a TextInput component and name the instance connectSessionID
    7. Add another TextInput component and name the instance myCSessionID
    8. Create the document class and link it to the FLA
    9. Add your developer credentials (where the constants are defined)
    The document class is this:
    package {
        import com.adobe.rtc.authentication.AdobeHSAuthenticator;
        import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.AudioPublisher;
        import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.AudioSubscriber;
        import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.WebcamPublisher;
        import com.adobe.rtc.collaboration.WebcamSubscriber;
        import com.adobe.rtc.events.SessionEvent;

        import fl.controls.Button;
        import fl.controls.TextInput;

                authenticator.userName = this.USERNAME;
                authenticator.password = this.PASSWORD;
                this._cSession.roomURL = this.ROOM_URL;
                this._cSession.authenticator = authenticator;
                this._cSession.login();
                this._cSession.addEventListener(SessionEvent.SYNCHRONIZATION_CHANGE, this.onLogin);
                this.connectButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, this.connectTo);
            protected function connectTo(event:MouseEvent) {
                if(this._cSession.userManager.getUserDescriptor(this.connectSessionID.text)) {
                    this.createNewPrivateChat(this.connectSessionID.text);
            public function onLogin(event:SessionEvent):void {
                this.myCSessionID.text = this._cSession.userManager.myUserID;
                this._audioPublisher.publish();
                this._webcamPublisher.publish();
                this._localWebcamSubscriber.subscribe();
            public function createNewPrivateChat(userID:String) {
                this._audioSubscriber = new AudioSubscriber();
                trace("Hasn't crashed yet....!");
                this._audioSubscriber.subscribe();
                this._audioSubscriber.publisherIDs = new Array(userID);
                trace("Aaaaannnndddd...boom.");
    You'll notice if you do any of the following it'll work fine:
    1. Replace the player 10 AFCSFlash.swc with the player 9 AFCSFlash.swc in the library path
    2. Remove the rpc.swc from the library path
    3. Remove the MovieClip with the text object in it
    4. Comment out the line "this._audioSubscriber.publisherIDs = new Array(userID);"
    Edit: Oh yeah, and to use the application you copy your session ID (from the myCSessionID TextInput) and paste it into the the connectSessionID TextInput in another instance of the swf file (or into the same one -- you get the same results).
    I was able to replicate this on another computer using the files above, so I don't think it's my environment that's causing the error.

    All,
    This looks like a bug with Flash player debug plugin.
    Please download the Flash player latest version of debug

    from the location
    http://www.adobe.com/support/flashplayer/downloads.html
    The link should show - 12/3/2007 - Update Linux Debugger

    debugger and
    standalone players.
    You dont need standalone player though it comes bundled
    together. After
    you untar the folder you will see /plugin/ directory which
    contains
    libflashplayer.so
    copy this to your $HOME/.mozilla/plugins/ directory... for

  • Help Required - Ran "Repair Permissions" and lost files

    I was having a few unknown errors with my computer lately... (iBook G4, Purchased November, 2005) I was unable to print, OS 9 was not loading, and everything was really slow.
    When looking around in my computer (Only been using a Mac as long as I have had this computer), I found the disk utility and figured that would be a good place to start. After running the "Repair Permissions", I was pleased to see my computer was running quicker, and my programs were opening properly.
    Now...The problem....
    I used to have a fairly cluttered desktop...and as of a few weeks ago, I took everything, and put it into a new folder in the Hard Drive. After the Repair was finished, I found that particular folder was deleted. My Trash was still empty, and when searching for that folder, sub folders, and programs there, they were no where to be found. Also, it appears it was only this folder (It was called Main Directory if that helps at all) that was deleted.
    I have noticed, that a few of the programs deleted do have files in the "Cache" folder....But I don't know what good that does me.
    Any help in recovering these lost files would be greatly appreciated
    PS. Yes....I have learned now not to poke around and run utilities that I don't know what they really do...at least without backing up my hard drive.

    I'm sorry.....I made a mistake...I got the computer 2004.

  • A Desperate Search for a Lost File

    i fear that all hope is lost, as it probably is, but i thought i'd post here as a last resort.
    basically, i recently formatted my macbook pro's HDD to dual install OS X and a certain Linux distribution (which, as it turns out, was not necessary - but alas).
    i backed up everything i needed except for a 10MB AES encrypted .dmg file that i had stupidly hid away.
    before i realized that it was gone, i went ahead and installed both operating systems on the formatted drive, along with many gigabytes of software (as of this writing i've used 64GB on my OS X partition alone). the total capacity is ~186GB in base 2.
    i've tried filesalvage and data rescue III - filesalvage does not seem to support .dmg files, and data rescue found five disk images, two of which were unmountable (and probably too small to be what i was looking for -- less than 100KB) and one was around 93GB.
    could these results in fact contain what i'm looking for, but be corrupted and/or end in the wrong place on disk (particularly in the case of the 93GB image) because of overwriting etc? is there a way, knowing some of the contents of the single Word document in my lost disk image as well as the password, to probe the drive for something resembling its data? until i find an auxiliary drive that can hold 93GB, i cannot examine the 93GB disk image because data rescue insists that i not modify the salvage drive.
    i'd be willing to go to great pains in an attempt to find this file (i.e., write my own program to search the device for suitable patterns if anyone knows how i might go about doing that), so any suggestions are welcome.
    P.S.: i post this in the unix section because i'm not sure where else to put it; feel free to move it

    i suppose i am still in the denial stage of grieving. is there no chance that the disk image exists in the remaining free space of the drive? i mean, if i've only written over roughly a half of the drive's capacity, there should then be a roughly 50% chance that part of the data is there, right?
    couldn't one of those anomalous disk images be the beginning of my lost file?
    i really just don't want to accept this loss right now. is there absolutely nothing to be done about this lost file?

    after power interruption -all my folders went back with 3 years dates, How do i return lost files?

    Malachi1234 wrote:

    On what exactly? Your computer?
    Do you have a backup off the machine that's stable?
    Now your files are still likely there, it's just a naming issue or a PRAM/SMC problem for power and a cache corruption issue for the files.
    If you don't have a backup of your files, copy everything you can to a external storage drive and disconnect it.
    Next run trhough this list of fixes, I suspect the SMC/PRAM reset will help with the power issues and the #12 OnyX cache cleaning routine will set your folders right.
    Remmeber after the PRAM reset to set your time and date correctly. Pehaps that is what s throwing off the date on the folders?
    It's really hard to figure your problem out with the information provided.
    https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3353
    Again your files are likely very much still on the drive, you can recvoer anything as long as it hasn't be secure erased or overwritten by new data yet

  • Recovering Lost Files/Folders

    As recently as last week I managed to notice that a folder filled with pictures of my dog had gone missing from my laptop. Does anyone know how to recover these lost files? I am a college student living away from home and these pictures are all I have of my dog while I am away...

    Hi, mccaughkm. FileSalvage has no way of producing a preview of any photo it doesn't find on your hard drive, so if it shows you a preview of a file, that file exists. It is perfectly possible that you might recover photos that have been "gone" for months and not ones that you trashed an hour ago; what gets overwritten in what order is entirely up to the OS. It may have overwritten the very last file you deleted and not overwritten things you trashed months or even years ago — its logic is its own, and not subject to your control.
    Based on what you say you did, I don't know what happened to your folder of pictures. If you've verified (by using the Find command in the File menu of the Finder) that the folder and the pictures in it are really missing, and not just moved to a new location, then perhaps suspicion will have to fall on the program that was using them. One of the possible hazards of using toyware like MozoDojo, especially when it's free, is that the software developer may have ignored Apple's user-interface guidelines, and may have designed the program to work in nonstandard and unexpected ways. I have no idea whether that's true of MozoDojo in particular, but if you really did nothing yourself to delete the folder, maybe MozoDojo did. It's hard to imagine why anyone would design an application to do that, since it would be sure to outrage a significant number of its users by doing so. Frankly, I think it's more likely that you yourself did something unintended. But whatever the cause, you need to focus now on the available means of getting back whatever pictures may be recoverable, rather than trying to figure out why they're gone.

  • Odd TextEdit file pops up after rebooting

    Why did this text file open in text edit upon reboot?  The title is iMovieToGarageBandWorkflow. I've never seen it before and when I spotlight search for the file it is not even found.  I google that file name and nothing comes up either.  I have not installed anything recently.  I did just remove a few random applications I hadn't used in a long time, rebooted, repaired permissions, rebooted, ran a backup image to an external with CCC, booted from the backup and THEN this file came up.  I then booted from the local drive and not surprisingly, this file popped up again.  Seems really odd.  Any thoughts what it is or where is came from?
    I included both a screenshot and the entire text below.

    Also, there are possibly THREE Startupitems folders on your Mac:
    YourHomeFolder/Library/Startupitems/
    Macintosh HD/Library/Startupitems/
    Macintosh HD/System/Library/Startupitems/

  • I accidentally formatted my portable hard drive when setting it up for time machine. Is there any way for me to get back my lost files?

    I have an external hard drive of the brand Western Digital.
    Before I got my iMac I moved a lot of my important files from my PC to the hard drive and today I went on and connected it to my iMac to move my files over to it.
    When it had connected a window popped up that asked if I wanted to use this hard drive with the program Time Machine and create backups. Without thinking it trough enough and reading the warning properly (I'm stupid I know) I clicked "yes". I then realised how stupid it was and cancelled the formatting of the hard drive. But somehow the program still managed to delete all my important files and can't find any way to get them back. Neither can I connect the hard drive to my PC anymore so I can't check if the files are still there (which I doubt they are since I can't see them on my iMac either).
    And now I wonder: is there any way for me to get back my lost files or are they lost forever?
    Thank you in advance!
    //Gina

    A data recovery specialist or some data recovery programs should be able to help.  Most format simply rewrite the directory tree saying no files are on this disk.  The bits that represent the files are still flipped appropreiately so they still exists, you just don't have the location info to get at them.  Secure formats and erases rewrite each bit to a zero or 1 or random so the data is then truely gone.  This type of format takes a long time to complete.
    I'm not making a recomendation of a particular program but here is one company that does what you ask:
    http://www.remosoftware.com/mac-recovery  The cost is pretty high but I'm sure they don't sell many copies and need to cover their development costs.
    Good luck and don't write anything on the freshly formatted disk until you decide what to do.

  • External Drive Partition, Lost Files

    As the title suggests, I made a mistake that "erased" all my files on a backup external hard drive, after splitting a partition in two and installing Mac OS X Leopard on the new partition. I use quotes in "erased" because the data itself is still there, but the access to it isn't anymore. Before thinking about using recovery software and going through the harsh process of churning through hundreds of GB of data to recover files that could be corrupted in the end, I wanted to seek the opinions of more knowledgeable people to see if there are alternative solutions that could be more simple.
    Here's my situation and all the steps that lead to my current state. I have a iMac with Core 2 Duo Intel processor, 2.66 GHz, 2 GB of RAM and an internal hard drive of 320 GB, with Mac OS X Leopard (10.5.8) installed. For backup and temporary transfer of files, I use an external USB hard drive, a Seagate FreeAgent with 500 GB (500 billion bytes = 465 GB actually).
    I wanted to boot from my external hard drive to do some maintenance on my iMac's hard drive. So I used Disk Utility to split the current partition (the only one) on my external drive. The drive had 465 GB, give or take, with approximately 50GB free. The other partition to be created was 10GB. I know this is the kind of delicate operation that should be done with caution, but Disk Utility was saying explicitly that "this partition will not be erased", refering to the big partition that will become approximately 455 GB, the one that contains all my files. I say to myself, okay, that is safe.
    Now, here comes the thing that I'm not 100% sure about. At this point, I don't know if the big partition was already erased. Both partitions (455GB and 10GB) always mounted on the desktop just fine. I was probably just "presuming" that everything went fine.
    Then I proceeded to install Mac OS X Leopard from the installation DVD on the small 10GB partition, which went fine. It's only at this moment that I realised that my big partition was empty. Shortly after, I set the permissions of the big partition to read-only, assuming it would minimize further damage.
    That's about it. At this point, my first thought was, what exactly just happened? In my mind, playing with one partition should not affect the other ones, but apparently, something did anyway, for a reason that is beyond my knowledge. Right now, I'm still wondering what operation did do the damage, the partition split or the installation of Mac OS X? Why would any of these operations erase the big partition?
    And here's another important point to ponder. Before the partition split, my external hard drive was formatted as APM, Apple Partition Map. After the split, or after the Mac OS X installation (which one, I don't know), the partition scheme had changed to GUID. Maybe this is the key to solve the problem.
    I know that my data is still intact, at least in most part, and I know that the file structure (B-Tree information, and stuff like that) seems to be intact (completely or partially) as well, because I visualized some sectors of my drive with a tool called iBored, and I recognized some folder and file names.
    That's all the details I can provide. Right now, I feel like any low-level operation on my external drive is like defusing a bomb. One little mistake, and boom! So I prefer to do nothing until I can get some advice from others.
    Thank you for your help!

    I had the EXACT same issue last night.
    Today, I downloaded Disk Drill and it is scanning and recovering my lost files from my external hard drive.
    http://www.cleverfiles.com/partition-recovery.html
    I thought I was going to have a heart attack when none of my files showed up on my Finder and I did not have a clue what I was going to do as my hard drive has practically my whole life on there!
    As we speak, disk drill is in the process of scanning my hard drive and locating lost files.
    Next step is to recover the files..
    Estimated Time Remaining: 3h 20m
    I will let you know if this was fully successful. It looks like it wil be though so I say you do what I'm doing and start recovering!

  • Dups, sharing problems and lost files on NAS drive

    I have been trying ot set up a "shared library" on a network storage drive.  The process has been painful to say the least I have over 17k music files and 400+ audio books.
    My first problem was creating duplicate files when pointing a new PC to iTunes media files. After trying multiple 3rd party software product unsucessfullly I finally bite the bullet and used the iTunes feature display duplicates feature.  Because I did not want to delete compliations and greatest hits dups I had to browse dups by album and manally sort through over 7,000 songs. Took me a week to complet but I did it. The larger problem I am now facing is lost files. 
    I sucessfully had both compurter pointed to the same media folder and everything was working great until I accidentally selected all of my file (yes 17,000+) and proceeded to delete them. I was trying to deleted all of the songs in a album that was duplicates... I caught my error only after a few secs but I am afraid the damage is done. The weird part is the songs are still in the library in iTunes but I now have close to 5,000 missing files icons and when I look for the files in the album folder, they are missing.  What is more irritating is not every song from every album is missing. so If I reimport from the original cd (I hope they are not too scratched) it creates dups of the file that are already there and I have go through and do a manual dup clean up again!!!
    Anyone have a thought as to where the missing files are (they are not in the trash under deleted files).
    Anyone know of a better way to share a large library between mutliple computers and iOS devices without haveing to have multiple copies to sync(i.e. Home sharing).
    ANY HELP WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!!!

    Hi Rajnish,
    As you mentioned "quota limit", it is set via FSRM or specific function on NAS?
    Meanwhile could you confirm the number 185GB is accurate? Sometimes a part of used space is just not calculated. You can confirm with checking the total space on NAS locally.
    If the number is correct and quota is set via FSRM, check if it is the Disk Quota which not re-calculated the released space. Try to clear the Quota setting and reconfig with 300GB limitation and see if issue still exists.

  • Photoshop CS5 has lost file associations

    I recently installed both Photoshop and Dreamweaver CS5, deleting the CS4 versions after installation. I have lost file associations for all Photoshop-related files: eg jpg, tiff, gif and so forth, and the psd extension as vanished altogether. (That means that if you click on a .jpg file, it opens in a free MS utility like Paintshop rather than where you want it to go: in this instance, to Photoshop.)
    I have taken the following measures, none of which have worked:
    Manually altered the associations in Folder Options. I can browse to photoshop.exe, but nothing happens when I select it.
    I have gone into the registry and deleted all associations under the relevant file types, eg .jpg etc. Restarting folder options replaces them exactly as they were, and I still cannot associate anything with Photoshop.
    I have run Photoshop from the command prompt with the tag /regserver which ought to re-register it. Nothing happens. (If you want to try this, open the Start > Run box, browse to the .exe file and append (separated by a space) /regserver
    I have changed and saved all file associations in the Bridge Options section. They are still there after I restart Bridge, but it has no effect on the overall file associations.
    So that leaves me stuck. Both CS5 programs are registered in the program list, and both appear in the Start menu list of programs. Neither appear in the Folder Options list. I am running on XP Pro with today's (16 Sept 2010) MS updates. Can anyone help with this?

    Solution
    I have found how to fix this, for me at least and on an XP machine. Some users may find the procedure a bit unnerving. You should anyway back up your registry before making these changes.
    Start > Run > regedit
    Go to:
    HKCurrentUser\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts
    That will give you a long list of file extensions: ex .jpg, .png
    Scroll down to and select the relevant ones, one by one. This is moderately laborious, but what follows is repeated exactly. (I found the .tiff extension was slightly different and left it alone. I never use tiffs so I don't know if it works unchanged.)
    When you click on the + box for e.g.  .jpg, two 'folders' open. These are
    OpenWithList
    This sets the list of potential programs to use for this extension, lettered a,b,c etc.The last entry in the 'folder' is MRUList which sets the priority order for these programs, eg if it has 'bcade' then program 'b' is first, 'c' is second etc. You can edit this order by clicking on it.)

    This stores what kind of image this is. Under .jpg I found that I had 'jpefile' and something like Photoshop.9 (I don't recall exactly.) This refers to a very old  version of Photoshop, certainly not the last one on this machine. All the other relevant image files had much the same terms associated with them. Some had four or five older Photoshop references: you can delete these entirely by right clicking on them. You then right click on the remaining Photoshop reference and alter it to read Photoshop.Image.12 Do not change the identity entry, e.g. the term 'jpefile', as mentioned above.
    It is also worth navigating back up to
    HKCurrentUser\Software\Adobe\Photoshop
    I found that I had reference to five separate versions of Photoshop. You can delete all but (numerically below) the 12.0 folder.
    Close regedit and reboot. You will find that Folder associations now recognise Photoshop as a valid program and assign it to the files that you have changed. I have not tried adding to the list in Explorer > Folder associations.
    This is pretty shameful, frankly. Adobe's installation program should clean out all preceding registry entries when it de-installs a version. It should most certainly write Photoshop12 refereces when installing. This must be a pretty geenral problem.

  • I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    I recently updated the iOS on my ipad 3 and lost all my files in the process. How do I recover my lost files which were not previously backed up?

    If you don't have them backed up somewhere, then there's little possibility of recovering them. There are some utilities that can in some cases recover an inadvertently-deleted photo, but I've found none that can recover photos or other data from an iPad that was erased as part of an iOS upgrade. You can do a web search for something like "iPhone photo recovery" and you'll find some utilities you can try.
