Projects loading

I lost my projects(they were 2),which i need for my school . Please, is there a way to restore them?



Lost your Blocks.  

Does this mean your Project are gone from the AI2 browser?   

 Is it possible you logged in with an account different from the one under which you coded the projects?  If you have several accounts, try using another account to access your project(s).

Does this mean you are missing some blocks for two projects?

In most instances of users 'losing' blocks, they are not really gone (yes, sometimes there is a problem).  At the moment, please try this:   On your Blocks screen, please find a white area; right-mouse click anywhere where there is not a block; a menu will appear; please select  Arrange Blocks Vertically    or   Arrange Blocks Horizontally;  your blocks should re-appear.   Did the blocks re-appear?

Please tell us which of the above applies to your problem.  Also,  please send us the name of your projects and tell us a bit about what you were doing with your project just before you quit your last GOOD programming session.   Did you add lots of images?  layouts, make a major change or whatever.  This will help us establish what might be wrong and provide the possible basis for recovery.  Sorry you lost your blocks, we will try to help you but realize, it may not be possible to recover your blocks if they did not appear using Arrange Bocks.

Did you save an aia file?    You should be able to restore your project with the source aia file; simply load the aia.  Developers are supposed to frequently save a project as an aia file to provide a local back-up in cases where there are issues either with your PC memory or with Google Cloud which sometimes cause projects to corrupt.

Answer the questions and provide more information and someone here will try to help.  Be aware, it may NOT be possible to recover your blocks and perhaps you just tried to access your projects with a different account or the blocks were hidden.   Smile, someone will try to help.


Merry Christmas,

A message appears which says that app inventor could not retrieve project information and my projects doesn't apper. I tried many times, but the problem remains.I guess it has to do with the loading of the information. Thank you for your support and

Please send us the name of your project.  Someone will look but you need to be patient because it is holiday time in the US.
