Tim you saved my life. Thank you for this video!!! I was almost done with a 15 page paper when my computer crashed and the document was gone like I had never perviously saved it. Your video helped me find it!!
I was trying to attach a Word doc to an email. It crashed. Disappeared from recent docs and location where it was stored. Found it using .docx in Finder but Word cannot now open it, even in recovery, saying file is corrupt and doesn't recognise it as unidentifiable characters present in name. Changed file name, opened Word in Repair mode. Success!! Thank you for helping locate the .docx file.
Thank you for sharing... Today I managed to help my daughter to find her lost document which need to be submitted as soon as possible. Really grateful for this video
THANK YOU SO MUCH! It is SO hard to find reliable info on how to do this with almost everything being an ad for something else. Finally someone with a clear and direct set of instructions, and options. THANK YOU!!
Thanks sooooo much. I found it in the tip file. Not sure how saving a file would send it there but ah well. Saved my butt big time for a uni assignment
I don't comment usually. But honestly I've lost a 20 pages and 2 weeks work. I was damn made I almost broke my Mac. Thank you so so so much for everything Tim
Tim I have a MacBook Pro mid 2014 I just updated to Big Sur so I could send mass text, and in the process of pulling some thing to a My Passport memory deal I have lost years of Word files which the word was on the Mac when I purchased it any help would be appreciated thx
Please someone help!! I did this @ 7:51 and the document appeared, however it says "Word found unreadable content in... Word experienced an error trying to open the file. Try these suggestions. Check the file permissions for the document or drive..." I don't know what to do from here. If someone would please help, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thank you!
Do you think this will work for a photoshop document because i was saving work onto my memory stick and it says it didn't save properly and now i can't find it so hopefully it is in the trash.
when i search .docx it came up with my document but when i click it it either wont open or comes up saying "word experienced an error trying to open this file bla bla bla"? WHAT DO I DOOOO
I HAD E I G H T Y FUCKING PAGES. E I G H T Y. GONE. NEVER TO BE SEEN AGAIN. AUTOSAVE FUCKED OFF SOMEWHERE GODDAMIT WORD WHY DID YOU HAVE TO CRASH okay I'm still mad but I'm a less murderous mad now
It did not work for me. I wrote a paper a few days a go, and now I can't find it anywhere. I must have pressed no to save the document. How can I find it?
I'm so grateful to you! I could find my file, for which I've been searching for about 3 hours. Thank you very much!!! I should have looked carefully in every folder in TMP.
thanks for tips but doesn't work to recover a word doc on my Mac ? I was working on it and saved and closed it then I didn't find it anywhere!! so strange HELP PLZ :(
Unfortunately non of these worked, almost like the document I worked on til 6:45am never existed. Thanks anyway for the suggestions and not pushing sofware in our faces like other channels.
Why did mine not autorecover every 10 min? The only version I have is from 3 days ago and i have 3 hours to redo this incredibly long research paper :(
Almost lost my job because of a lost consignment file but thank God I met *phillshack_* on INstagram he’s awesome he helped me recover my lost consignment file
I found my document, but I can't open it, it says: Word encountered an error when trying to open the file. Try the following: * Check the document or drive permissions. * Make sure there is enough memory and disk space. * Open the file with the text recovery converter. Now I don't know what to do!!
Thank you soooooooooo much, I have spent forever making edit for people, and it's almost gone......I can't believe I can get them back, thank you soooo much!!! Just add a note that them temporary file name needs to be changed to doc in order to open it
Unfortunately, it didnt help me. But huge thanks for explaining it very detailed. It's so interesting that only one file was not unsaved among all after I spilled soda on my laptop and it shut down. It was the part of my research.
thank you so much! i tried your video as my last chance. i only successed when i tried this option : ~/Library/Containers/com.microsoft.Word/Data/Library/Preferences/AutoRecovery the deference is in the "com.microsoft.Word"
IT WAS DUE TONIGHT, MY WORD WASN'T LETTING ME SAVE, I COPIED MY ENTIRE ESSAY, WENT TO ACTIVITY MONITOR AND FORCE QUIT THE APP, THEN REOPENED IT AND TRIED PASTING IT BUT IT SAYS THERE WAS NO MEMORY......ALL 13 PAGES
I downloaded another file while working on a different one yet it caused Word to be non responsive. I lost a five page paper, please how can I recover this?
will this work even if you have not yet saved and named the file? I was working on a draft, opened an emai with a word doc from lecturer, read it , closed it and it closed my almost complete draft, now i want to die

I saved a document with a format that my mac doesn't recognize (it was a mistake) and whenever I type the name of it, it simply says "not found"
Do you think this will work for a photoshop document because i was saving work onto my memory stick and it says it didn't save properly and now i can't find it so hopefully it is in the trash.
