Using the recovered files folder in the Trash for Flash CS5 files

I'm creating a complex animation (hand drawing every two frames on a Cintiq) in Flash CS5 and, despite saving, lost the day's work upon my Mac freezing - over 300 drawings, just gone. The recovered files folder contains /tmp and .dat files, and I've found no guidance online as what to do with these. Please help!

Those files in the recovered files folder happen when an APP crashes with unwritten data/files.
It's not very likely those tmp or dat files will be of any use, but if critical get HexEdit and open those files for a look...

We should work on why the crashes & loses are happening.

Lost the "recent file" folder in the dock next to the trash bin and cannot figure out how to replace it. Any thoughts?

First thing I would do is look in the trash and if it isn't there look in the System Preferences and I am sure it will be in there.

I am using Toast 11 to burn dvd's. With FCP10.1.3 I could go into the FCP shared folder grab the encoded .m2v file and drag it into Toast 11 and author dvd and burn. How can you do this with FCP 10.1.4?

BenB it creates a disc image only and it's not in .m2v. I think it saved it as an Apple Pro Res 422 format instead. The disc image file format will not allow
Toast 11 to create menus etc. Thanks for your help.

The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. PLEASE HELP!!!

I have been trying for over 2 weeks now trying to get my iTunes to open up so I can use my iTunes but I have not had any luck since I up graded to the new itunes. I have tried uninstalling (all apple programs) and reinstalling and nothing seems to work. Everytime I try to open my iTunes I receive the following message - The iTunes Library.itl file cannot be found or created. The default location for this file is in the "i Tunes" folder in the "Music" folder. Please help as I'm getting very frustrated and want to throw every apple device in the trash!!!
FYI: I thought about getting the iPhone but since I"m not having very good luck getting assistance with my iPod/iTunes I think I will rethink my decision.

Found the solution.

I have a PowerMac G4 running ProTools that no longer boots up. All I get is a file folder on the screen with a flashing question mark in it. Ran the Utility disk and all systems passed. Any ideas?

You need to use the computer's install disks to repair the hard drive or install a new OS.

After what seems to be a normal upgrade to the new Lion OS. My computer counted down to restart and left a white screen with only a file folder in the center of the screen with a ? in it. How do I get my screen back to normal? Jim L.

After what seems to be a normal upgrade to the new Mountain Lion OS X on my early 2008, 24" iMac. My iMac counted down to restart but did not turn all the way off. At the end of the count down the screen went white with a small file folder flashing on and off in the center of the screen. Also there is a ?, question mark in the miaale of the file folder. The screen responds to no keyboard or mouse commands. Request help.

My computer was doing the same as yours hinikuru but now there is a change. I turned my iMac off by the button on the back and left it off for about an hour. When I just turned it on the center Apple logo was back and soon the loading logo for the new Mountain Lion program came up. On the bottom of the logo there is a horizontal sliding bar that says the program will take 34 minutes to load. Time will tell. I have two iMacs and if this goes we'll I will install the new Mountain Lion tomorrow. Hinikuru, I was about to follow the information in one of the side bar blocks titled "More like this" on the right side of this screen when my iMac seemed to fix itself! Good luck. I think not all is lost.

After a few hours of inactivity , my screen goes white with a flashing file folder in the centre with a question mark in the centre of said folder. at this point i can only unplug the computer for it to reboot properly, then it is fine till the next go..

After a few hours of inactivity, I return to find a white screen with a file folder in the center of the screen with a ? mark in the centre of said folder and both are flashing...am i compromised?

No

Mail blocked on imac. Same message keeps appearing multiple times in the Recovered Messages folder but no new email gets through. Fine on ipad. Any help appreciated....

Haven't received any new emails on imac since 4 Sept (all received fine on ipad) and online gmail account. We sent an oversized message on that date and it keeps appearing continually (literally hundreds of times) in the Recovered Messages folder. I'm assuming this is causing some sort of blockage?? Seem to be able to send mail OK, just not receive (apart from new versions of the 4th September message). Any help gratefully received. Thanks

Hi,
Since Outlook running on Windows works well, it seems an issue on the Mac side. I suggest ask Mac for help so that you can get more professional suggestions.
More information for your reference:
Please try to verify whether there is any expired certificate from the computer personal store.
If it is the case, please remove them.
Thanks

If an email is in the recovered messages folder on mail, does that mean it hasn't been sent?

A little confused as to what the 'Recovered Messages' folder is on mail.
I'm unsure why some emails I'm sending are appearing in that folder... does that mean they haven't been delivered?
They aren't visible in the sent folder but I haven't received an email to say it can't be delivered.
If someone could just explain this folder and it's purpose to me, I'd be really grateful.
Thanks.

It means that the recipient either has iMessage turned off or is not connected to WiFi or 3G. The message will be held on Apple's servers for 24hrs, then deleted if not delivered.

How do I change the "Q" icon in my files folder to the first image of the movie like my .avi files?

How do I change the "Q" iconin my file folders like I have for my .avi files? I have Windows XP and have just purchased a new Nikon camera. All video files are imported as Quicktime and it is frusterating to see what the video is without having to open all of them.

Just do:
setIconImage(Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().createImage(YourFrame.class.getResource("your_icon_file")));

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library.

How do I get photos from the iPhoto import folder to the iPhoto library? It uploaded, but hung while deleting from my camera, so no imported photos are in the iPhoto library. I watched it upload about 400 photos, one by one. They're somewhere, but they don't appear in the iPhoto library. As iPhoto was deleting them from my camera, it got hung up, then a message came "you should eject before disconnecting a device." I hadn't touched the camera. The message came by itself. I couldn't get iPhoto to respond, so I disconnected the camera and did a Force Quit. Opening it back up, the pictures were gone. Can somebody help me?

What version of iPhoto are you running? Assuming it's iPhoto 9 or later Apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
Fix #1
1 - launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
2 - run Option #4 to rebuild the database.
Fix #2
Using iPhoto Library Manager to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
1 - download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
2 - click on the Add Library button and select the library you want to add in the selection window..
3 - Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the Library ➙ Rebuild Library menu option.
4 - In the next window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
5 - Click on the Create button.
Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.
