Un-authorised changes to saved files?
I am finding that files are either going missing or old files that I have previously moved/ deleted are re-appearing.
It seems as though there is some sort of auto-restore from a previous back up, but I don't use any of the back up programs (such as time machine). Could there be something automated happening? Any ideas on how to stop this? I just want my files to stay where I put them.
I'm becoming so confused about where stuff is and am concerned that I'm loosing some without realising it. I have noticed this most easily with itunes files and re-appearing files in the trash.
Six months ago there were issues with the hard drive and this was replaced under warranty and a system repair was completed, but the problems with the files have continued.
Thanks for any help,
~Coline.
Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that changes to Excel files are not getting updated.
I recommend to configure Excel Services data refresh by using Secure Store and an external Office Data Connection (ODC) file.
For more information, you can refe to:
Configure Excel Services data refresh by using external data connections in SharePoint Server 2013
If you use PowerPivot, you can refer to:
Refreshing PowerPivot Data in SharePoint 2013
If you use Office Web Apps, you can use New-SPWOPISuppressionSetting -extension xlsx -action view to refresh data.
You can refer to:
PowerPivot for SharePoint - Browser Refresh Fails (Data Refresh not supported in Office Web Apps)
In addition, here is a similar thread for your reference:

Hello,
We're using Sharepoint 2013 to manage documents. I was editing a Sharepoint doc in excel and saved my work several times before finishing, however I did not check the doc back in upon completion. Instead, I created a PDF version (makes printing easier),
saved the PDF file to the same Sharepoint folder, and checked the PDF version in when I was done with it.
When I went back to the library to check in the excel version of the file, it was showing an older version of the document (from last night). I opened it, and lo and behold none of the changes I had made prior to converting the file to PDF were showing.
What happened to that file? Like I said, I saved it several times before converting to PDF, yet no copy of the changes exist on Sharepoint or locally. I disconnected from the network, opened excel locally and checked recent documents - it wasn't there. I checked
my Sharepoint recycle bin - not there. Versioning and publishing are enabled, but I was the only person working on this document. I searched the entirety of my hard drive - not there. I checked the version history - not there (last night's version is the most
recent).
I've done this before without issue. Both files (excel and pdf) would show up in the Sharepoint library with all changes. I'm at a complete loss on this and would love/appreciate help in recovering the excel version with all my changes (otherwise I just
lost 6 hours of work)!
Timeline of events:
Last night@7:16PM - Save and check-in excel file.
This morning@8AM - Open and check out excel file. Make changes and periodic saves along the way.
Today@2PM - Finish changes, save, create PDF, save PDF, check in PDF version. Go back to library to check in excel version only to find that the version from 7:16PM last night is the latest excel version available.

KMS
EDIT: Sharepoint 2013, Office 365, OS: W8.1/64Hello Cam,
Interesting. I'm sure nobody went into site settings and discarded changes.
I hard refreshed the site; file still not there.
I'm beginning to think it's IE11. I'm using 64-bit, and don't know how to use the 32-bit version (I'm not very savvy when it comes to this stuff). I have found a few tutorials online but I'm not sure I'm doing it correctly.
I appreciate all the help so far, Cam. At this point I've spent so much time searching for a solution I could've just redone the work! Ugh.
EDIT: Is it possible that I accidentally discarded my check out and therefore all my changes to the excel doc went unsaved? If so, wouldn't the fact that I saved my work several times prevent me from losing the changes? I'm so confused at this point!
It's odd that I have a PDF version of the document that shows ALL the changes that I made - essentially the finished product - and yet the excel document from which said PDF was created is gone! -
Folder view changes after saving file
After a while, whenever I choose a starting folder in a save dialog, where the folder view is Columns, the folder view changes to that view in Finder as well, but I want it to stay in List view, while brows in the save dialog in Columns view.
How can I make sure, that whichever folder I choose from the save dialog, it's view never changed from List to Columns view, (regardless wether I choose Column view, or it opened already in that view) without changing each and every folder preference individually?Every time you resave a JPEG, information is lost. How much depends upon the degree of compression - more compression, more loss, smaller file.
A one off save is probably insignifincant. The fact that the file size changes is unsurprising. PSE probably does its compression a bit differently from the camera. -
Hi All,
upload failed your changes were saved but could not be uploaded because of an error. you may be able to upload this file using server web page. save a copy button.
This is the issue which I am facing while working with SharePoint 2010. In a sharePoint 2010 document library I am having an excel file and I am trying to open it from Windows 7 and is office 2010.
I cam e across few suggestion as mentined below but unable to find the location where to do
Go to Resource Policies > Web >
Rewriting > Custom Headers > (if 'Custom Headers' is not visible, click
Customize on the right top to enable the view).
Create a new policy with the Resource as <fully qualified domain name of the SharePoint server:*/*> (for example https://sharepoint.juniper.net:*/* ).
Create the action as Allow Custom Headers.
Apply the settings to the required roles.
Please suggest.Hi rkarteek
All things you have to do is as follows:
1. Open regedit.exe
2. Naviagate to following key:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Common\Internet]
3. Click Edit Menu -> New -> DWORD with name of "FSSHTTPOff"
(without quotes)
4. Click on "FSSHTTPOff" and enter value of 1
5.
Close any Office Applications and browser sessions
6. Try to reopen your document (no more read only or failure to upload)
have a nice day! -
when saving a file in [.jpg] format, i am asked to choose a quality from 1 to 100. what changes in the file created based on the quality parameter chosen?. i would like to know what changes, so in the future i can set my camera to a setting that will give me the highest quality to begin with,allowing me to make crops and still preserve the quality.
thank you
dovidIt's the level of compression. Lower number, more aggressive compression, more visual artifacts.
Aside from that you should never use jpeg as a working format. The compression is destructive and cumulative, and the file deteriorates every time you resave it.
Use TIFF or PSD, and if you need jpeg save out a copy as a single final step. -
CS5 indd files occasionally change after saving and reopening
Occasionally the contents of my InDesign document will change after saving and re-opening. No errors reported during the save however when the file is opened a text box may be out of place or leading may be messed-up on a few random pages or some of the recent changes may not have been saved. Any ideas?
There was no direct indication that you created the code in a standard module. I asked because you reported that the code works in the sample workbook that you downloaded but not in your own workbook.
I don't know what else to suggest at the moment.
Could you create a stripped-down copy of the workbook (without sensitive information) and make it available through one of the websites that let you upload and share a file, such as Windows Live SkyDrive (https://skydrive.live.com),
FileDropper (http://filedropper.com) or DropBox (http://www.dropbox.com). Then post a link to the uploaded and shared file here.
Or register at www.eileenslounge.com (it's free) and post a message in the Excel forum. You can attach files up to 250 KB to a post there (zipped if necessary).

Fonts changed to Unix files when saved to a remote server
Hi all, I read an archived thread regarding this, but not sure if my situation is related somehow. The issues others have had was that their font files were converted to Unix files at 0KB, when stuffed.
My issue is I backed up fonts (PS and TT) from my Mac to a remote server (PC based). When that server is accessed by Mac users, some saw the file as a Unix file at 0KB. However, there were some (including myself) that saw the actual font file.
That was a few months ago, we've retired that server since, but before doing so I transferred all the fonts to a new server. It's now a raid drive run off a Mac Xserve. After the transfer, I checked to see if the fonts were still okay, and they were showing full Mac file (no Unix). I didn't go into the new server for a couple of months, but when I did I noticed that all the fonts had been changed to Unix files. Some were at 8KB, others at 60KB. But no 0KB files. +Note: because the initial transfers was a success, the original files from the old server were deleted along with it. So there is no way of retrieving the original files. As well, were were running 10.4.10 with the original server and files. Switched to 10.5.x when files were transferred to the new server.+
I've tried the tips here (using the Terminal method and the FileUtilsCM script) http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=6041364 but to no avail. I'd hate to think these fonts are scrap. As they were all purchased (and there's a whole load of them). Any input in saving these files would be of great help.
Thanks in advance.The real font information is stored in a resource fork, not the data fork fo the file. Depending type type of file system you copied them to, how you copied them, and what method you are using to look at them, you may not be seeing the resource fork.
You can see more detail about files usng a Terminal command such as
ls -leaO@ file
If there is a resource fork, it will be displayed.
If the file system was not a Mac OS X external file system, then you might want to look for a file with a similar name only starting with a leading period to make it invisible to the Finder
ls -leaO@ /the/directory/with/your/fonts -
How do I change the default file saving type
I have seen this question all over the web, but none of the answers I have found apply to my version of Photoshop (CS5).
I want to change the default file type when I save files. I don't want PSD or PDF, I want PNG.
I want to hit CTRL + SHIFT + S like normal, but I don't want to select PNG from the drop-down menu when I go to name my items.
I don't want to create an action for each file I work with - I want this to be a default setting change across all of photoshop on every file.
Any help? Adobe has been of zero assistance.I have already tried the "Actions" method - which is glitchy in and of itself!
What I am doing is very simple - I am making photo slide shows. I create a new file that is 1920 x 1280 (the size of my display) and then I open 100+ images. I copy and paste each image into the 1920x1280 file so that all images display the same on my screen when I run the slides. I re-size and adjust the position of each image so it appears how I want.
So I copy and paste my first image into the 1920x1280 canvas and then hit F2 (the button I applied the save as PNG action to). It saves the file. Then I copy and paste another image into the file and hit F2. Rather than creating a new file (or even a copy) Photoshop writes over the last file I made. YAY! More wasted time!
It blows my mind that a function as simple as "Change default file type" is missing from such an expensive, accredited program. How can their software engineers overlook something that hundreds of other people (like me) have posted a need for online? Something so simple? Andy why is it my job now to learn how to do scripting for Photoshop to add in a feature that should be standard? Is that why I pay $50 a month for this software or why I bought CS5 outright for more than $1000?
So that's what I am trying to do - make a slide show where each image is exactly the same size. It seems the only option Adobe gives me is "WASTE MORE OF YOUR TIME" -
This is weird.
I am changing the onMouseOver to all lower case so it
vaildates with a xhtml
doctype.
So I make the change, save the file, even close DW.
But when I open it up again, the onmouseover is now back to
onMouseOver.
I was able to change all other instances of onMouseOver via a
sitewide ctrl
find and replace and it even shows as if it's replaced this
one file's
instances, but every time I open this file, it's back to the
mixed case
rather than lower case.
It's a similar situation with another file that just will not
accept
onsubmit and keeps reverting back to onSubmit. It's a
conspiracy! :)
Anyone have any suggestions?
Cheers,
Lossed

Saving file to network location
Hello all of you,
I encounter an issue with InDesign CS5 when it comes to opening and saving files to a network location. I added my company's ftp server to Windows 7 and it appears correctly in the My computer overview (there's an additional line besides the hard discs, DVD player, et cetera). The connection to the server functions fine, no issues here. No problem exists when opening files from this server from within InDesign; I can do whatever I want. Only when I try to save a file the network location isn't displayed anymore within the My computer overview in the InDesign "Save as" dialog box. The network location however appears in the pull-down menu at the top of the dialog box (and nested as part of My computer ...), but when I pick it there, it won't show the context of the server. Additionally logging onto the server (it's IP-based and anonymous logon) doesn't change a thing. Trying to save in the empty server space InDesign returns a "Can't save here" error message.
Does anyone know how to solve this issue? Building the document locally and then copying back to the server isn't a solution, because all external content that is linked in the document resides on the server.
Best regards,
Luc PeulenDoes anyone know how to solve this issue? Building the document locally and then copying back to the server isn't a solution, because all external content that is linked in the document resides on the server.
Scott is basically right. Lots of ID users work over network connections without issue, but if something is going wrong, it's the first place to look. I wouldn't have thought it possible to work in InDesign over a FTP connection!
If you can get Windows to access that server as if it were just another drive (using "Map network drive" in Explorer) then it should work normally. However, a generic Adobe phone tech wouldn't help you figure out why it wouldn't work - there are simply too many variables in a network environment for a generic first-level tech to figure out.
In the short term, the only solution I can suggest is:
Retrieve all of that external content that is linked in the document, and the InDesign document, at the same time, & store it on your local hard drive.
Do your work.
Save & package.
Upload the entire package back to the server.
Long-term, you'd need to talk to your own IT staff to troubleshoot the connection between your workstation and the FTP server. If you can get information about your network from them to post here, I bet that someone will make suggestions to pass on to your IT staff that will actually work. -
can't figure out why the gif file won't loop. Set up 5 photo frames 480x320pixels x 72pix/in in PE11, creating a layer for each. Each layer visible. Saved for web. Checked animate. The preview plays fine. But when I save the file and then click on the saved file to play, it re-opens the layers instead of playing the loop. The only SAVE option that shows up is "IMAGES ONLY"
Using photoshop elements 11 on MAC 10.6.8. Either I'm setting this up wrong or is there a hidden setting I need to change?Thanks for the thought, Barbara B. Not sure if this counts, but emailed the file to myself [different email account, same computer] but it would not play as an email attachment. Any suggestions for a web upload where I can test your suggestion? Seems like there should be a different save option other than IMAGES ONLY but that is the only option I'm given.

My Mac Book Pro changes the saved home page each time I open Safari. I am also getting random tabs opening with various "cleaning up" my computer junk.
How do I get rid of this? I tried some of the fixes listed but they don't seem to work or I am doing something wrong.
THanks
WendiYou may have installed one or more of the common types of ad-injection malware. Follow the instructions on this Apple Support page to remove it. It's been reported that some variants of the "VSearch" malware block access to the page. If that happens, start in safe mode by holding down the shift key at the startup chime, then try again.
Back up all data before making any changes.
One of the steps in the article is to remove malicious Safari extensions. Do the equivalent in the Chrome and Firefox browsers, if you use either of those. If Safari crashes on launch, skip that step and come back to it after you've done everything else.
If you don't find any of the files or extensions listed, or if removing them doesn't stop the ad injection, ask for further instructions.
Make sure you don't repeat the mistake that led you to install the malware. It may have come from an Internet cesspit such as "Softonic" or "CNET Download." Never visit either of those sites again. You might also have downloaded it from an ad in a page on some other site. The ad would probably have included a large green button labeled "Download" or "Download Now" in white letters. The button is designed to confuse people who intend to download something else on the same page. If you ever download a file that isn't obviously what you expected, delete it immediately.
Malware is also found on websites that traffic in pirated content such as video. If you, or anyone else who uses the computer, visit such sites and follow prompts to install software, you can expect more of the same, and worse, to follow. Never install any software that you downloaded from a bittorrent, or that was downloaded by someone else from an unknown source.
In the Security & Privacy pane of System Preferences, select the General tab. The radio button marked Anywhere should not be selected. If it is, click the lock icon to unlock the settings, then select one of the other buttons. After that, don't ignore a warning that you are about to run or install an application from an unknown developer.
Still in System Preferences, open the App Store or Software Update pane and check the box marked
Install system data files and security updates (OS X 10.10 or later)
or
Download updates automatically (OS X 10.9 or earlier)
if it's not already checked. -
I've been using numbers for iPad and I accidentally deleted a column. And the auto-save feature saved that and now I can't undo it. Does iCloud storage have backups of saved files from like 10 minutes ago? I have numbers synced to iCloud.
I tried to undo it but the app crashed.
I am hoping there's like a previously saved version of my file in iCloud somewhere.No, iOS does not do short term incremental back ups to iCloud such as you get with Time Capsule.It backs up when you do soo manually, or if set properly, when the device is plugged in and connected to WiFi. It will not have saved your changes as of 10 minutes prior.

I opened, say, 100 PNG files that were saved in a landscape format. So I selected all files, typed Cmd+L (to rotate left), and then viewed them for a while. After I was finished, I tried to close all of them at once, but found I had to click on "Revert Changes" for every file?
In Snow Leopard, an option would come up allowing you to discard changes for ALL open files. Here, I cannot seem to find that option (if it even exists). Does anyone have an idea?From the menu bar, select

Why are files in Firefox 33 cache directory different size than saved files on desktop
In previous versions of Firefox I used the cache directory to extract videos, flash files and hidden images, that were not saved in folder and a HTML Document file on desktop. For Example the opening image of a YouTube Video can not be extracted and saved from Firefox but is stored in the cache directory.
To find these files without going through them one at a time, I would copy the cache folder on a desktop folder and then use Double Killer to delete the same size files in both the cache and the saved files in the desktop file folder. The files that are left behind in the cache folder are those that did not save to the desktop file and folder. I can then double check to see if I can find the videos, flash or images from the remaining files.
I have updated to Firefox 30.0.3. The problem now is that the files in the cache are different in KB size from the saved files on the desktop folder. The dimensions of a saved image are the same but the size of the file differ. Now I can not use Double Killer to delete files and have to go through the whole cache directory one by one to find files that were not saved.
Why did the Firefox developers changed the cache directory? Do I need to revert to a previous version of Firefox or is there a way that I can change the cache directory of Firefox 33.0.3 and the size that it stores files.
Would also like to know what add-on gives the best quality screenshot with flash.
Thanks for this support. Apart from this cache problem I find Firefox easy to use and the best web browser.Current Firefox 32+ releases use a new cache service named Cache2 and this cache service works differently.
Files in the cache2 folder are special files that also store the meta data apart from the actual file data that you see on the about:cache page if you click an item.
