Friends,
A strange title, but close to accurate. At 5:59am this morning, I moved a G4 Tiger Powerbook from one room to another, hooked up to LAN, checked email & latest news, then went to sleep. At 9am, I was back working on a very important document (AppleWorks 6.2.7), creating PDF docs (Acrobat 6), printing, email, web, etc. Opened and saved several other docs, quit AppleWorks, re-opened, modified, saved my critical doc.
At approximately 11:15am today, I opened my critical doc to print & email, but it was a very old version from the day before? I searched for all docs modified today, and it did not appear. It showed a last modified stamp of yesterday at 11:02am. AppleWorks Autosave had my very newest docs, but none from the past day or two, including my critical doc? Recent Items shows my critical doc, but it opens the old version?
Here is the puzzle -- I opened the console log and it shows absolutely NO ACTIVITY from 5:59am to 11:13am -- even though I had been using it for a several hours, from 6am to 6:30, then again from 9am to 11:15 and I did not put it to sleep from 6:30-9am??
What happened during this time and more importantly, where is my critical document!! A hidden cache? Journaled somewhere? Abducted by aliens!! All joking aside, something VERY SERIOUS happened underneath that completely lost track of 5+ hours (and all documents worked on during that time!). HELP!? Any ideas from the collective brilliance of the MacOSX universe?
Many thanks in advance. -ScottW
