I have been working on my scenario for a week on textedit, and this morning while I was making correction my file disappeared, while the other textedit files that were open remained on-screen.

I can't find the file anymore. I have tried the library autosave and there was nothing. When I looked in /private/var/folders there are files that correspond to the time this error happened, but they are forbidden from access.

How can I get my textedit file back?

    You might check in your (invisible) username/library/Caches/TemporaryItems folder. Also, you may have inadvertantly changed the file's name. If so, Spotlight can find it using words from the documents content.

If it's not in Open Recent under the File menu, it's gone.
