How to get back unsaved work?! (URGENT)

Hi everyone!


I need to know how to get back unsaved work on an external drive. I was working on my track and my computer shut down and when it opened up it asked me for auto saved or saved and my mouse did some weird thing where it glitched out, or, in the end I hit saved by accident. I usually do save my tracks every 10 min, but I guess I just forgot today. Please help! I lost an entire days work!

If you hit save anytime during your work - you can use the file-revert to command to get to one of the previous saved version.

If you didn't and Logic crashes and you hit saved instead of auto-save, Logic loads the last saved project.

As long as logic remains open and you did not close it yet ( which I suspect is not the case) the auto-saved files can be extracted, however once you close that project - the autosave files are deleted and there is no way to retrieve them.


What happens is the autosave directory is created when logic opens. If the program crashes, files are saved to this directory. When logic is re-opened and logic finds files in the autosave - you are promoted for the option to load the autosave files or load the last saved version. After you have made a selection and close down logic - any autosave files created previously are deleted.
