How can I recover unsaved files from illustrator cc(2015)?

Question

I was closing down my files and thought I'd saved the file I was working on, it asked me if I wanted to save but I stupidly said no thinking it was another file I was closing to then realised it was the file I need & I hadn't saved anything all day ( again I thought I had). I have time machine but because i haven't save it at any point today it just goes back to when the files was created - so cross with myself.

Any advice would be great, please help & thank you in advance

Penny,I am afraid it is doomed.It is always best to save regularly, preferably also under different names and in different places.You may save manually, and supplement it with autosaving.To autosave, for CS5/CS6/CC & Win Vista/7/8/10 or Mac OS 10.7+, you can use this (first one is the free version):http://www.astutegraphics.com/software/autosaviourfree/http://www.astutegraphics.com/software/autosaviour/https://forums.adobe.com/message/6616027#6616027For Mac users with CS6 or CC, the app "Ai Auto Save" can be bought here:https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ai-auto-save/id877602617?ls=1&mt=12Or you can create a Double Action yourself as described here:http://graphicdesign.stackexchange.com/questions/13272/is-there-an-autosave-feature-in-adobe-illustrator
