How to open a .aid file on a mac

-

hi,

 

i wondering how open .aid recovery files created illustrator when data recovery setup.

 

thanks.

hi

 

i had problem today file saved. important file logo concepts important client.
i closed saved file , tried opening little while later, got error message file unknown.

i tried searching recovery file in datarecovery folder, there wasn't recent one.

 

luckily had time machine backup , went datarecovery file , found .aid recovery file. checked opening in textedit , searching image links had used.

 

i tried searching internet solution on how open .aid file, couldn't find 1 anywhere anywhere.

 

i contacted adobe directly , told me; "unfortunately it's not possible". point of having datarecovery folder if can't recover files!!!

 

thankfully discovered solution!

1. open datarecovery folder.

to check you're folder located, open illustrator , go preferences/file handling & clipboard/datarecovery.

 

2. create new document in illustrator , wait new .aid file created. if doesn't appear after few mins, try drawing few shapes on page , wait again.

 

3. once new recovery file created, need crash illustrator. opened activity monitor (mac), found adobe illustrator, clicked on , chose 'force quit' it.

 

4. open both new .aid file , 1 need recover in 'textedit'.

 

5. copy text .aid need recover , paste in place of text in new recovery file , save , close.

 

6. reopened illustrator , recovery window appeared. hit ok , voila, work lost recovered!

 

hopefully works else problem!
