Well, I got them, sort of. I always set up a template of the agendas beforehand so I can just start filling in what's happening with that agenda item. The program's set to save the file every 8 minutes. The template files are what was in the cache folder--the ones I created during the

Ok, how do I recover these? I've got two word processing files that have ended up somehow in an invisible folder on my 5300c, running 8.1. They're in a file marked (dot)TP2(dot)TrashCache. These are minutes of a governmental body and I need them for record keeping. IOW: Help! :)

Do you have a copy of BBEdit? I believe that program may open it, from which you could save out another file. Another possibility - if you have access to Norton Utilities, Get info for a good word processing file (same type as the one your trying to recover) using Norton (not Apple's Get

ResEdit should make the folder visible. IIRC that's a TechTool Pro feature, so you could probably use TTP to render it visible as well. In any event I seem to recall that all the files in the TrashCache folder are visible, so you just have to open the folder. - Eric. On Wednesday, April 14,

When you open ResEdit, it starts in a Open File dialog. Close that. Then under File menu, use Get File/Folder Info... Select the TrashCache folder and up pops a box, and there is a checkbox for Invisible. Uncheck that. Quit and if you're asked to save any changes, obviously you'd want to

Hi, I dl'd some .dmg files in .bin format from Apple's site. It seems that upon putting the PB 3400 to sleep, the files that were still compressed disappeared. The Stufflt version active at the time was 6.01. I checked to see if they were there before sleep mode, and they were or so I thought. I

Are you sure that they finished downloading completely before you deleted them? Sometimes interrupting the download will cause the browser (or your download manager) to automatically delete the incomplete file... Probably not what you wanted to hear, but I can think of no reason why any file
