    Dude, I was about to have a full on meltdown!!! Thank you so much for this video! My 12 page assignment was recovered👍🏼✊🏼🙌🏼

    OMG, I can't find enough words to express how grateful I am for this video. I have lost my assignment that is due for submission in 2 days. I have been panicking for hours after trying several methods of file recovery. I was made to pay £10 for an app to help me recover the file but to no avail not until I stumbled upon this video on youtube. The first method worked and help to recover my lost assignment, saving me from sleepless days and hours lost writing a new assignment. Thanks once more

    I was writing my Law School admissions essay and apparently hadn't saved it out of stress. Went back to it a week after my initial deadline, it took me a week just to want to start writing again and it was GONE. I wanted to curl up in a ball and die. I found it with this! Life saver, you have no idea how thankful I am for this video.

    Wow! After 30 minutes of unsuccessful attempts this video guided me to success. It was the method shown around 1:20 - using the Mac's Finder. I had no idea! 2 hours worth of nonprofit work saved! 🙏🏾 I clicked subscribe with a quickness.

    Jesus man thanks!! I was googling like crazy for half an hour, downloaded some stupid program that didn't even work. Now I come here and you've solved it within 5 minutes! Just a little tip: maybe would be good to put that file location into the description. Anyway, terrific work! Thanks again!!

    I had written a bit of my end-of-term essay and then my MacBook started acting up, and for so reason, it asked to restart and I did just that but I had saved my document in space probably when it came back on, I could not find my work. I jumped straight to youtube and searched because I didn't want to lose all the time and knowledge coming up with the half essay and then I watched your video. I used the utilities method because the first ones could not help. I finally got my work, thank you so mucccchhhh

  • @jpdemer5
    @jpdemer5 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    When you close a Word document without saving changes, Word immediately deletes the corresponding AutoRecovery file, and you're pretty much screwed if that's not what you wanted to do. I did exactly that, and lost a couple hour's worth of work that I had actually wanted to save. (I hit "close", changed my mind about closing the file, and accidentally hit "Don't Save" instead of "Cancel.")
    It turns out that if you have Time Machine active, there's a chance that it captured that AutoRecovery file before Word deleted it. Go to the autosave destination folder, per the instructions in the video, then enter Time Machine and see if you got lucky.

    Thank you so much for this video! Omg I was working on a homework assignment and fell asleep. When I woke up I couldn't find the file and I never deleted it, but it was in the trash folder. I must have pressed some keys while I was sleeping. I had already spent a couple of hours on the assignment and didn't want to start it over again. God Bless you! 🙏🏾😁🥳

    Hey! So on my 2 documents, I had a different icon to the school I work in on the actual document when I go on my Home Screen. So I woke up the next day and both file document icons have changed to the default icon which is the word document default one. I go into it and *everything* is gone. I spent so long on those reports and everything I have written has gone. The files are still there and I did save it since I remember saving it. Any help?

    • @RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware
      @RecoveritDataRecoverySoftware  10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hi there, thank you for your question! If the file was not saved and autosave was turned off, then it is unlikely that the program will be able to recover the file. Look for any backup files that may have been created by the program. Check the folder where the file was originally saved. Sometimes, the file may still be there even if it was not saved.
