In this case... it's a messenger for mac conversation. I had to update messenger for mac because it was outdated and wouldn't let me log in. I was able to re-add all the other conversations except one. I just happened to save that one with a filename other than the usual 'pre-determined' file name.

I tried to go back into time machine back to the exact day I had saved the conversation. Since I screwed it up by giving it a name, I can't revert to the original filename essentially solving the issue.

Did I miss something, can I re-add the file in question? I've got a My Passport external hard drive. The file with the correct file name is backed-up, but I can't add it to the conversation folder. I've actually re-built that folder several times, so I know it can be done. I don't know if, because I saved it with a different name, it can't be reverted back to what all the other files are named with. It just has the saved name I saved it as.

Thank you.
