A Few Thoughts on Recovering these:

  • Try Opening Recent Files:

Open an application that they were being used with - see if you can:

  1. Go to: File menu
  2. Select: Open Recent...
  3. Does Anything Popup


  • Check Trash:

See if these items reside in Trash. Trash items need to be moved out of trash in order to open them.


  • Any Other Users?:

See if there are any other users on your computer. Perhaps they are on the other user


Log in, and see if you can find some of these items in there


  • Use a Backup:

If you have any Time Machine Backups, then see If you can transfer these over using Migration Assistant.
