Saved file reverts to earlier version

I wonder if anyone has ideas about this problem...
Working all afternoon on a complicated file in Illustrator CS3, we saved regularly throughout the day. In the afternoon, the entire computer crashed- complete shut down. When we rebooted, we found none of the saves had "taken" and the file showed the previous day's work only. Any guesses what happened and how to prevent this?
Background info:
Using a Mac with OS10.5
The file is saved to a Windows XP Professional machine acting as a server
I think the machine crashed because the complexity of the file eventually took over all the iMac RAM. We have had some issues with permissions on the server, but it's hard to believe a save wouldn't actually "save" throughout the day.
I would appreciate any ideas anyone has.

Are you sure you saved to the right directory? Doesn't sound like it, so in effect you may still have the modified files somewhere, assuming you saved versions, and did not always just save "live" to the currently open file. If none of the file saves had gone through, AI would have thrown an error. At best, I could imagine the server's volume mapping being wrong or it constraining files to some vault/ special directory/ quarantine region, but that is just a far guess. It's more likely the actual docs have ended up in soem default system path on your local system...

Saving a project as a file for an earlier version of Garageband

Is it possible to save a garageband file as a file for an earlier version of garageband in garageband '06, and if so, how would i do this?

You're in the GB 08 forum, but anyway, it's the same answer. once you save a file in a newer version, you can no longer open it in an older version.

How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

How can I rotate view of a pdf file, like in earlier versions?

Adobe Reader Touch (Windows Store app with "Modern" UI) for Windows 8 is a relatively new product, which was introduced in December 2012. Adobe Reader XI, X, or older is a completely separate product - a traditional desktop app with classic UI. The desktop version has been available in the market for 20 years (!!) and it does not share any common components with Adobe Reader Touch.
Adobe Reader Touch does not support page (view) rotation yet.
For Windows 8, you can download and install Adobe Reader XI from the link below.

For Windows RT, you can use Microsoft Reader (built-in PDF viewer), instead.

Logic will not open files created with earlier versions?

Logic Pro 9 will not open willnot open files created in earlier versions advising that attempts should be mad using Logic pro 7. My Mac Pro wil not open this version of Logic "because PowerPC applkcations are no longer supported." Any help would be very much appreciated since I need to have books reprinted.
Thanks

Hi
I think that the PPC installer can be worked around (?):
Make disk images of the Install Disks, mount them all, then use Pacifist to run the Install process
Looks like it should work here..

Update 12.1.1.4 erased all my files (music, videos, playlists, everything). How do I revert to earlier version to get that back?

I opened iTunes tonight to import a CD and it asked me to update. Sure, fine, go ahead. Computer restarts after update and EVERYTHING is gone. I had 20+ videos, over 3k songs, all sorted into playlists, podcasts... it's all gone. How do I get that back? Can I uninstall the update and go back to the earlier version of iTunes? And when I plug in my iPad to sync, will it wipe everything off of there, as well??? I'm a fitness instructor, I have over a year's worth of playlists and routines that are now gone.

You're welcome . Note, though, that iTunes doesn't really keep "backup files" - it does replicate the library database (iTunes Library.itl) during the installation of an update if (and only if) that update makes a change to the database structure. The most recent of these was the transition from iTunes 11.4 to iTunes 12.0. On the basis that:
Computers tend to fail at the least convenient moment
Hard drives fail. Always. You just don't know when its going to happen
There is no process that can be 100% guaranteed not to mess with your data
creating and maintaining a backup of your iTunes library is just about essential. See tt2's notes on Backup your iTunes for Windows library with SyncToy for details of a suitable method. If you make frequent additions or changes to your library you should refresh the backup every couple of days - at a minimum I'd suggest once a week - and always make sure that the backup is up to date before installing a new version of iTunes. I actually use two backup strategies - one that runs automatically at 3am every Sunday morning, plus as-needed updates to a second external drive that I use to refresh two other systems that I run iTunes on.

Can I get hold of the setup file for an earlier version of Desktop Manager

Hello,
I've been using my Blackberry Bold 9700 trouble free for well over 18 months now. The other day I was prompted to upgrade the OS to level 6, which I did with no problem. I then noticed that there was also an upgrade for the Desktop Manager software. I also upgraded this (to version 6). I'm now really wishing I hadn't....
Ever since the upgrade I get the BSOD upon initially connecting my BB. I uninstalled the desktop manager and did a complete reinstall. This, if anything made matters worse as I then found that any USB device would cause the BSOD once I plugged it in.
The only way I've been able to solve this is by totally uninstalling the Desktop Manager and then also going and uninstalling and then reinstalling all the USB controllers from the Windows device manager.
All I really need the desktop manager for is to tether my BB to get internet acces when I'm off site, and I'd really like to go back to the earlier version but cannot find anywhere to download the setup file.
I'm running XP Pro by the way. It's obviously an incompatibility with something on specifically on my laptop which is causing the problem. I tried installing Desktop Manager 6 onto another laptop running XP Pro and it seems to be fine on there. I've not really got the time to mess around with this much more though so would prefer just to downgrade back to the previous version on this laptop if someone could point me in the right direction to get hold of the setup file.
Many thanks.

Reverting to earlier version of code base in CVS

We are currently using CVS as our version control with WSAD 5.0. Since putting in a release a couple of weeks ago, have had two occasions on which we needed to put in bug fixes. We were able to back track to the tagged version of the code, branch, apply the fixes and build the .jar files, but we have not been able to merge that code back into the Head.
What are the proper steps for going back to an earlier version of your code in the repository, applying a code change for a bug, and then merging it back into the Head of the branch?

Do you have any sticky tag? If you check out a branch, and then use the update command, it will be done into your branch.
To update (and then commit) to the Head, you have to remove the sticky tags with a cvs update -A [...].

Since installing Firefox 8 beta, can't move tabs around within the tab bar; can this be fixed without reverting to earlier version? Thank you.

Before moving to Firefox 8, I could drag and drop tabs within the tab bar to reorder them, which was very convenient. Since installing the first beta of Firefox 8, the tabs don't move. Should I revert to an earlier version of Firefox? If so, which one? Thank you for any help with may favorite browser. Tom

Tor Button addon was the cause in my case.

FAQ: How do I migrate my saved presets from an earlier version of Photoshop or import/export them?

You now have the option to migrate presets from a previous version, export presets and to save to a directory as a zip file (great for instructors).
Preset Migration migrates your saved presets, not your preferences. The message says "Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?" It simply carries on the preset files you have already saved (things like Brush Tips, HDR Toning presets, Curve presets, Styles etc.) to CS6.
HOW TO USE PHOTOSHOP CS6 AUTOMATED PRESET MIGRATION
Photoshop CS6 offers the great new functionality of automated preset migration for your custom presets from Photoshop versions as far back as CS3.
When Photoshop CS6 launches for the first time, it checks for previous installations of Photoshop on the computer to see if there are custom presets that need to be migrated. Photoshop looks in each of these presets folders for your saved custom preset files that it can migrate.
Preset migration script copies all the files in user preset folders of older versions. If there are more than one preset files with the same name, presets from the newer version will be given priority. These types of presets will be migrated by the script:
3DLUTs, Actions, Black and White, Brushes, Channel Mixer, Color Books, Color Swatches, Contours, Curves, Custom Shapes, Deco, Duotones, Exposure, Flash 3D, Gradients, HDR Toning, Hue and Saturation, Levels, Lighting Effects, Lights, Materials, Meshes, Optimized Colors, Optimized Output Settings, Optimized Settings, Patterns, Render Settings, Repousse, Scripts, Styles, Tools, Video, Volumes, Widgets, Zoomify, and Workspaces
If this is not your first launch and you would like Photoshop to look for presets,
Choose Edit > Presets > Migrate Presets
When Photoshop notices that you have custom presets saved in their appropriate folders it will give the message "Would you like to migrate presets from the following versions?"
Choose Yes. Photoshop will begin the preset migration script.
When the migration has completed Photoshop will pop up another message saying:
"Preset files from older versions successfully migrated"
In order to use your newly migrated presets, you must restart Photoshop.
If you had Photoshop CS6 beta installed and have saved custom presets, you will need to export those presets before uninstalling the previous version and installing the release version of Photoshop CS6.
HOW TO SAVE PRESETS
For PS, check that you have saved all your presets using:
Edit>Preset Manager... (in previous versions) Edit>Presets>Preset Manager... (in CS6)
HOW TO IMPORT AND EXPORT PRESETS
In the main PS menu,
Choose Edit > Presets > Export/Import Presets
In this dialog you can export the presets and then import them when you load the new version using the same Export/Import dialog.
If you have gone through the automated preset migration and notice that some of your presets didn't get migrated with the rest, make sure you have exported your presets to their default folders.
PRESET FILE LOCATIONS:
(Note that there are two different folder locations for presets, one for application provided default presets, and one for user created preset files)
These are the presets that are unique to each user on the computer. These can be migrated automatically: (this is the location that the user should save their personal presets in)
Windows: Users/[user name]/AppData/Roaming/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
Mac: Users/[Username]/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
These are the default presets that ship with Photoshop. These presets can be imported but will not copy over using the migrate feature because each version of Photoshop will install defaults for that version.
Windows 64 bit:
    [Hard Drive]:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Presets
WindowsXP and Windows7 32 bit:
      [Hard Drive]:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Presets
Mac:
    [Hard Drive]/Applications/Adobe Photoshop CS6/Presets
Frequently used preset filename extensions:
ABR Brush preset
ACO Swatch preset
ASL Style preset
ATN Action preset
CSH Custom Shape preset
GRD Gradient preset
PAT Pattern preset
SHC Contour preset
Here is a helpful tutorial:

Do you have an iPhoto Library from the old machine? If you have then simply open it - there's no importing involved.
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Choose Library'
If you don't have an actual library there is no way to do what you want.

Client Having Problems With Acrobat 11.0.3 and files created in earlier versions

We are noticing problems with our PDF's depending on the version of Adobe they are viewed with.
If the PDF File was created pre 11.0.3 and you view it with 11.0.3 you only see squares in the narratives from SQL/Oracle Text Fields .
If the PDF File was created with 11.0.3 and you view it with 11.0.3, it is fine.
Update. As with most Software/Support services the correct information is not always received and must be forced out of the Customers.
The PDF files are drawing of Auto Accidents created in Adobe Acrobat and stored on a Microsoft Server Network. The files are then merged inside a Microsoft Visual FoxPro 9.0 SP2 Application with Data received from Microfoft SQL Server 2005 Database through a ODBC driver to a FoxPro Cursor and then created with a Visual FoxPro Report Form. The VFP Report form page that displaies/prints the PDF file is a OLE File Object and is created / Printed through Amyuni 4.5xx Converter to a PDF file and then viewed with Adobe Acrobat 11.0.3.

There are software packages that will do those checks. So in that sense there is a way to check. However, that would be a programming task and not necessarily simple. So I really can't help you on the programming aspect (I would refer you to something like the SDK forum for programming).
To check the file, you would normally open the document properties (ctrl-D). The general tab provides the version number and the fonts tab will tell you what fonts are used and embedded.

Version 11.0.3 not displaying Files created in earlier versions correctly

Using Version 11.0.2 a pdf that was created on one computer. When you open the attachment up on a machine that has version 11.0.3, the latest adobe reader, installed you get the blocks in the narrative field.
Using Version 11.0.3 a PDF was created and can be opened on a machine that has version 11.0.3 as well as an older version of Adobe reader without any problems.
Font embedding in the file when created is turned on.
Uninstalled Adobe version 11.0.3 from machine and installed version 11.0.0. Can open both attachments without any problems with the narrative fields. It seems that version 11.0.3 has problems opening a file, specifically the narrative, that was created in an older version.

Sorry, I'm in the 10% that did not get the word about the IT change to the FTP Site for Security Reasons.

Saved file reverting to unsaved status

2010 post from another 2007 thread on a different topic than that thread (edited):
The latest anomaly with Dreamweaver (CS2) with Windows 7, is that I will save an HTML file using Ctrl-S, then use Ctrl-Shift-U to upload it. But often, when I do
this, even seeing the asterisk disappear indicating the file saved, when I go to upload, it returns to non-saved status, the asterisk returns, and the dialog alert appears asking me if I want to save first. I carefully watched several times to make sure the file got saved first...but at times, it just decides it didn't regardless.
This isn't a biggie, but does slow things down when dialogs pop up which should not be popping up. Kind of defeats the purpose of keyboard shortcuts when these things keep happening. And not one nasty word about Adobe this time either. ;-) Sure with they were perfect like me though!
Doug - [email protected]

Thanks for the response. However, I want to keep the file open. I'm
editing, uploading, checking how it looks in the browser(s). To close it and
reopen it would be more of a difficulty than responding to unnecessary dialogs.

========
What I found prevents the "re-asking" is if I save the page, and close it
before putting it to the server.

RH7 Files Modified in Earlier Version Create Problems

Hi. I'm a new and not very proficient RH user developing my
first project in RH7. I was asked to take over a project started by
someone else (in RH5x, I think). I brought the files into RH7 and
continued development, no problem. At a certain point I sent a copy
of my files back to the app developer for his review. When he sent
them back to me, he'd modified them in the old version of RH. Now,
I seem to have two issues I can't figure out:
1) All my topics have little red boxes (which seem to be
placeholders for scripts) at the beginning, end, and associated
with some links. They apparently are related to breadcrumbing: when
I generate the layout, the topic pages show duplicate breadcrumbs.
I deleted them all, but when I generate the layout, they come back.
2) I have multiple custom .css files which appear to be
auto-generating from my original somehow. I didn't create them, and
neither did the app developer when he messed with the files. They
have the same file name as my original .css, but with characters
appended, like_ns and _ns_nc. I went through every topic and
reapplied my original .css, but the weird styles keep coming back.
Appreciate any help or insight as to how to get rid of these
problems. Thanks.

Welcome to the forum.
What your developer has done is edit the output files rather
than the source files. Because of the version differences he would
not have been able to edit the source files. I wonder if you gave
him those anyway or just the output?
Regardless you are where you are. I do hope you have a backup
of the project from before you copied the edited output files back
into the source. It will be easier to start from there and have
your developer advise the changes by some other means. Otherwise
you have a bit of an unholy mess to sort out.
There is a way of cleaning up the output files if you really
have to but given your experience level, you may not want to go
there. If you have no choice, then Rick Stone's site has an
excellent article on the matter and I can let you have the link
later. Not to hand right now.
When you generate your output, RH, creates two versions of
the CSS, one for IE, and one for Firefox, that is the ns one you
are seeing.
Your source project CSS should be the only one you need.

Importing edited/saved Garageband instruments from earlier version

I am wondering how to import the old instruments I created on a previous version of Garageband in GB '09, since it doesn't seem that the new version works from a Library. I have the .cst files in a library file that I named "GarageBand," (with the Master/Real/Software sub-folders) but no idea how to get GB to read these.

I don't know what you mean by "it doesn't seem that the new version works from a Library" - but GB sure uses the instruments in the Libary folders, both in your user Library and in the general Library folder. Your presets have to go into the proper subfolders in User/Library/Application Support/GarageBand/Instrument Library. Or in the HD/Library... folder, then they are available for all users.

Revert to earlier version of VI

I was having trouble with my development system running DS 2010 and LV 2010 so I copied my source directory (1.7 GB) to another computer running DS 2009 and LV 2009. I tried to mass compile but the destination systems still complains that the VIs were compiled with a later version.
Is there a way to set them back to 2009? All VIs were originally compiled with 2009 no mods to new features were made after the upgrade to 2010.
Thanks,
jvh
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Interesting. This design is so messy I hadn't considered that. The top level folder contains many files of many types including sequence files, ini files, etc. It also contains about 30 subdirectories each with their own lvlibs, Typedef subdirs, and more. The .lvproj file covers many VIs but leaves a lot out, over 1800 total. So I will probably let it run in background while I analyze new test reqs.
Thanks for the idea, I may use it yet.
