Recovering unsaved file

I was in the middle of writing a paper and my screen went black and would not turn come back on. The keys were still lit up. After waiting a couple minutes, I turned computer off with power button. Turned computer back on and all of my work is gone besides the oroginal. IS THERE A WAY TO RECOVER!??

No, it's gone.
Install ForEverSave or learn to save frequently (command s).

  • Recover unsaved file

    Hi everyone,
    I'm using Microsoft Word 2008 on a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard.  Just today I closed a document without saving it and am hoping there's some way to recover it.  I've tried searching for AutoRecovery files, but it's not coming up.  I haven't restarted my computer yet in the hopes that there might be some way to recover the file.
    Thanks for your help!

  • How to recover unsaved files on Illustrator CS6

    I've spent hours on work and i've lost it all. I don't think i saved it which was really stupid of me!! is there anyone that could possibly help me!

    Melissa,
    It is advisable to save regularly, not only with the same filename, but also with different names, and in different places, to rescue things that may otherwise be lost in file corruption.
    And you may also consider autosaving.

  • Is there a way to recover unsaved file in Keynote?

    Keynote showed a message that it's closing unexpectedly and then everything was lost.

    There is no autosave if you don't install one !
    Several autosave third party tools are available for free:
    EverSave
    SaveCircle
    and of course my script dedicated to iWork which store chronological date_stamped backups.
    It is available from my idisk:

  • Recover a unsaved file in Pages '09 v4.2

    Hi All,
    I hope someone can help me to recover a couple of unsaved files. I was working on Pages '09 with several Pages opened and in an accidental click I closed two of these with out save. Do you know how to recover files from a Temp Folder or any Similar?
    Thanks in advance,
    -Daniel.

    Since you're using Lion & Pages 4.2 autosave will have saved the files if you have saved them at least once. There is a folder of "unsaved documents" in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences but I have no idea how it works. The one time I tried opening one of the files I got an error, but you might have a different result. In Lion you need to go to Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.

  • Recover Unsaved Photoshop Files

    I was working on a photoshop project and then saved it as a JPEG, but accidentally closed it out without saving it as a project (.psd)... how do I recover the file? Please help!!!!

    If you were using Photoshop, perhaps you might want to ask in the Photoshop Forum, and not this forum, which is the Lightroom forum.

  • How do I recover a file...

  • Help, I just accidentally closed my illustrator file without re-saving. Can I recover my file?

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

  • Can I recover unsaved work after a restart of my computer

    I was working with Final Draft 8 and before I could save my work the spinning pinwheel appeared. I restarted my computer hoping that my work would pop back up. I've done a shutdown when this happened before and was able to have my windows with my work reappear, albeit the wheel was still spinning, and my work was lost.
    I want to know if there is a way that I can recover unsaved work after restarting my computer, or if there is a way to access my temporary file folder and search for my document there. This seems like a stupid question I know, but I'm so desperate and would just like to know if there is a way to access my unsaved work. Is it gone forever? Unsaved work doesn't get tossed into the trash, so where exactly does it go? Is like an erasure?
    Thank you.

    Make sure your auto save function is on, http://support.finaldraft.com/article.aspx?cid=1001&aid=264 if it is on you should have a copy saved on you MacBook Air, do a spotlight search. 

  • How to recover Deleted file from HARD DISK

    By mistake my entire AVCHD file of 90 Mts  duration was deleted from my Hard Disk, this  I realised after a week., in the meantime I have not added or deleted any file from this hard Disk. I had given my this hard disk to my service engineer to recover the video., he has tried and recover some 40 mb file., but I cant open this recovered video file in Premiere or any other video convertor programme., also I cant get any information about Video.
    Can anybody in the forum help me and suggest how to recover my deleted Video from the Hard disk

    Hi, hard disk data loss is actually a hard task for many users 'cause most of them think this kind of problems is a complicated situation. Here are some tips you need to know after data loss happened.
    1. If you meet the file loss situation, keep calm and stop using your computer to do any read or write operation until you find the way to recover the lost files because any wrong operation.
    2. If you've lost a file, time is of the essence. As new files saved to Mac hard drive or storage devices, the original files gets overwritten. So do not use the drive or disk which your deleted files are stored before at all, until you have completed the scanning and recovery process.
    3. The system crashed or the files loss situation happens occasionally, so remember build a backup for the files periodically is strongly needed.
    4. If you meet the file loss situation again, stop using the Mac or storage device right now, use another computer to process the files recovery.
    5. Remember this, no matter at the normal time or after files recovery, build a backup for the files periodically is the best method to protect your files from data loss situation.

  • 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.

  • Animated gif's from unsaved file?

    I used to be able to create animated gif's easily from unsaved files. I would simply select all the layers I wanted to use and process them.
    After upgrading to CS6, I'm totally lost. I've followed half a dozen tutorials, but nothing works. The only way I can even load a frame into the Windows Timeline feature is to first save several images from my unsaved file, then reload them by choosing File > Scripts > Load Files into Stacks. But even then I can't find a Make Frames from Layers option when I click the down arrow on the right side of the palette.
    Is there a simple way to create animated gif's from layers in an unsaved file on CS6, or do I need to reinstall my older Photoshop version in order to created animations?
    Thanks.

    Yes, I clicked Frame Animation Mode, but that's as far as I can get. It doesn't work the same as my older version of Photoshop. The only buttons that appear to function on the left side of the palette are "Split at playhead" and "Select a transition," and they actually don't do anything.
    The tutorials tell me to click the down arrow on the right side of the palette and choose "Make Frames from Layers," but that choice isn't listed. The choices that are listed include "Loop Playback" and "Allow Frame Skipping."
    I've tried several tutorials and have experimented with just about every button and arrow I can find, but I can't get any farther than the image you posted.

  • Mount time machine, how to open and recover .inprogress file

    so this is how i fixed and mounted a time machine capsule ( it was extended journaled Case-sensitive) to MacBook Pro ( non-case sensitive) and recovered files from .inprogress file. for me it worked like a charm and lets see if this can help you too.
    Found a way to figure it out! (mount drive). So I went to my gf's laptop and created a new backup file for her ( just the file or a new sparsebundle.  the info.plist , token and info.bckup are the files that we need from here ). If no mac is available, create a new backup in pc but it has to be to the same time capsule  ( the files that we need and create will point and tell the sparse bundle a new path to time capsule ) To het there you go to the sparse bundle Dmg, right click and go to "show contents". So this is how i change it, I open 2 finder windows and got each sparse bundle in it ( old one or damaged and new one), righ click on both > show contents and then  replace these files from the new one to the damaged one (  info.plist , token and info.bckup ). That's it. The time machine at least mounted on my desktop and could see the files. Now for opening the .inprogress file; go to Automator >new workflow > and drag in this order;  get selected finder items, get folder contents and open finder items. While the .inprogress file i selected, press "run" or play button in Automator. That's it. Now you may try to drag to desktop but it will say "the volume has the wrong case sensitive for a backup" but you should have access. Now for copying or move to somewhere; get another hard drive ( external) and format it to the same as time capsule ( extended journaled case sensitive is my case), once it's done, right click and go to info> at the bottom uncheck "ignore ownership" and close it. Now you can copy from .inprogress file to just formatted hard drive and from hard drive to laptop. Here's the annoying part; it will treat it as a special folder ( when you paste it in you desktop it's gonna ask for password, if you wanna move it somewhere else it's going to do it as well. But at least you can recover the file ) . once this process It's done just reformat your time capsule.
    Cheers,

    well, after you transfer everything to new hard drive and to avoid the putting a password everytime you move the folders, richt click on drive > get info > check again the "ignore ownership" option and you shouldnt have any problems transfering back folders
