I opened TF on the Mac and a couple of my forms were missing! I went to “Restore deleted items”, and selected each one that was missing and clicked “Recover”. However, the forms do not get recovered.
Did you click on the Form name to recover? Once you’ve done that, go back in and then select any fields and/or records that may also have been deleted that belong to that form. It’s not a perfect solution either because sometimes the things can’t be recovered. If you compact the database that’ll wipe out the recovery history.
bummer…years of work are gone. I think I accidentally deleted it and then it synced…
I have a backup from 18 months ago, but is it possible to only restore 1 form?
I have time machine. Can I get something from that? What if I just go back to the previous date and restore all the TP data? I don’t know what files and folders to restore from Time Machine.
Yes, use Time Machine to restore.
Close any opened documents, then on the main Database Documents window, click the document you want to restore and then click the Show in Finder button at the bottom.
Then with that file selected in the Finder, use the Enter Time Machine command from the Time Machine menu in the menubar. Then navigate back in time to a point before this happened and then click the Restore button. Allow the Finder to overwrite the file.
There’s also a Backup command and a Backup on Quit function in Tap Forms which will help to recover from this sort of thing in the future.
If you’re using iCloud for syncing you should also disable that and then click the Delete From iCloud button before you restore. Otherwise the deletions will be synced again. You can re-enable it after you’ve restored.
Thanks,

That solved it! Everything restore. Thanks! It did take quite a while for everything to get put back on iCloud.
