My Facebook LookBack was deleted by mistake:( What do I do??? - lisa - 04-01-2014 12:09 PM
I accidentally deleted my LookBack by mistake. I originally did this on my iPad in Google on the FB app. Since the deletion I downloaded Chrome on both my iPad and iMac. I have not deleted any history or cookies. I've tried almost everything I read to do in the hopes to retrieve it. It's not the end of the world for me but I'm stumped. Side note: gist.github.com/xadhix/8802624 Copy etc. did not work for me.
I originally deleted in GOOGLE not CHROME. Trying to find the Lookback in my Chrome cache is not there.

Here's the solution to get your Facebook "Lookback" Video back.
To those who have deleted a picture or post from their Timeline, in hopes of "Editing" their "Look Back Video" you have to go into your cache and get the original link. Here are two possible Chrome Fixes:
Type "about:cache" without " signs on your chrome search bar (provided that you don't clear history/cache after you close your browser) You will see a list of links on your window, just click Ctrl F or ⌘ F to and search "lookback" in the Find searchbar Look for the link that will have something like https://lookbackvideo7-a.akamaihd.net/hv... and so on. Click that link. After you clicked the link, you will see on your window a bunch of text with white background. Ignore that. LOOK AT YOUR URL BAR. You should be able to see something like chrome://view-http-cache/https://lookbackvideo7-a.akamaihd.net/hv... etc etc. In the long string of url, DELETE THIS PART: chrome://view-http-cache/ then press enter. You should be able to see your video again...
You know what? I found it! I played it and I downloaded it to my computer. To share on facebook I simply copied the url and posted it as my status. Although it doesn't play through on facebook, it opens as a new window and plays.
