is anyone having trouble getting the video? mine simply's not generated at all. i just find a bunch of pics, no movie, no share button. anyone?

I tried to watch my facebook LOOKBACK video, first of all it didn't show up when I wanted to watch it and it threw an error message, but it was able to be shared. That's what I did and when it appeared on my timeline it wasn't able to be watched again, so I erased to tried it again, but when i clicked the link it showed up 6 pics and an explanation that I am kinda inactive on facebook, what I am not, and I used constantly since 2006. I want to watch this beautiful gift and retrieve my video. Can you help me? I've heard people who did it and it worked, but I did it from my windows phone internet explorer and I don't want to make a mistake.

Thank you,

Caroquito,

Sounds great, but I saw the video on my iphone, and shared it before accidentally deleting it. Is there a way to get it back, even though it was on my iphone? I am so sad to have lost that touching video! Also, why has facebook not allowed people to regenerate it if deleted? thanks :)

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I'm part of the team that built this which came from different parts of FB. I think we'll be getting some much needed rest after today, then I hope we can start telling the story of how we built it.

I accidentally deleted my Facebook movie on an iPad. Now Facebook won't let me see it again. Is there a way to recover it?

Same here - hope to get to see it again, though. Is it some way to recover it?
