I have been creating a document in numbers on my iPhone and synced to iCloud. Now I cannot open it, and when trying to download via browser I get an error message. How can I recover this document?

Dear all,
I have created a document on my iPhone, and stored it on iCloud. I have updated the document both on my iPhone and on my iPad. Now, I cannot open the document on my iPhone anymore, even a reset of the phone did not help. Via iPad I also cannot open the file, and when I try to download it to my PC via icloud.com I get an error message.I suspect that the file has become corrupt as I have updated it on the iPhone while I did not have network connectivity.
I have two questions:
1.) Is it possible to recover an earlier version of the file?
2.) What can I do to prevent this from happening again in the future?
3.) Does the iPhone sync changes to iCloud in the background or does the application need to be active?
Thank you,
Niftan

Welcome to the Apple Community.
I have seen previous versions mentioned in a pop up message before on iCloud.com, but I'm not really sure at all how it would help, as I couldn't get it to do anything.
The best advice I have at this time is to back up your work on your iOS device by regularly saving it to iTunes, if anything goes wrong you can then either load it into the numbers app again on the device or recover it via iTunes on your computer.
My syncs are immediate, I never get chance to see if it works in the background, sorry.

  • When trying to download QuickTimeInstaller.exe, I get an error message that it is not a Win32 application. Is there anyone that can help? Thank you.

    While tring to download QuickTimeInstaller.exe, I get an error message that it is not a Win32 application. I do not know what that means. I am running Vista and Service Pack 2 is installed. I am trying to look at a math tutorial on CD that came with the textbook.
    Thank you for any help or assistance.

    It suggests the installer is getting damaged during the download.
    I'd first try downloading an installer from the Apple website using a different web browser:

    If you use Firefox instead of IE for the download (or vice versa), do you get a working installer?

  • When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

    When trying to install Mountain Lion I get an error message, Failed, recovery can't be created

    My Mountain Lion install failed for the following reason:
    OS X can't be installed on the disk Macintosh HD, because a recovery system can't be created.
    The message went on:
    Visit www.apple.com/support/no-recovery to learn more.
    The page is about a different failure, but I'm assuming the reason for my failure is this one:
    The disk has a non-standard Boot Camp partition setup, in which further partitioning was performed after running Boot Camp Assistant, or the configuration that Boot Camp Assistant created was manually modified.
    The cure involves erasing the entire HD and starting from scratch, which in my case would involve backing up both the Mac and Windows sides, setting up Boot Camp again, reinstalling Windows XP and recovering everything from backups on both sides. I would rather not have Mountain Lion than go through all that, and I think it's unfair for Apple to expect me to.
    Because I don't recall doing anything off-piste when I set up Boot Camp in the first place (for a start, I'm not clever enough), I consider this episode an inadequacy in the Mountain Lion installer. As I won't be using the download, is it possible to get my money back?

  • Can't install safari extensions, I get the error message "Safari can't install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension "Pin It Button"." Any suggestions?

    Every time I try and install an extension for Safari I get the error message "Safari can’t install this extension, An error occurred while installing the extension “Pin It Button”." I have all the latest updates, working on OS X Yosemite v 10.10.2 / Safari v 8.0.3. Any suggestions?

    Back up all data before proceeding.
    Launch the Keychain Access application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    Use the search box in the toolbar of the Keychain Access window to search for an item named "Safari Extensions List". If found, delete it. Quit Keychain Access.
    Quit and relaunch Safari.

  • Firefox 11.0/12.0 does not launch and provides no error message, how can I fix this? Windows 7/8

    Running Windows 7 on one partition, and Windows 8 Consumer Preview on another, Firefox does not open for either.
    Firefox crashes upon opening without an error message. I have reinstalled and manually cleared profile information. If I create a new profile, it works until I close and try to relaunch requiring me to make a new profile.
    I have tried removing/reinstalling java as well (just in case), as I had been editing some of the java installation from my Windows 7 partition.
    As I launch the Firefox, if I watch the task manager, Firefox.exe appears for a moment, but disappears almost immediately.
    No files appear in 'C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Crash Reports' directory with the exception of the 'InstallTime*********' file.
    *Information posted in the "Troubleshooting Information" section below is from the Windows 8 Consumer Preview partition. There are some errors with my display driver not being updated properly, but Firefox -was- working on Windows 8 Consumer Preview until just recently, so I am assuming that is not part of the issue.

    Noah_SUMO,
    Regarding Naomi Internet Filter, I verified that it was -not- something installed (I hadn't heard of it before, but I made sure nevertheless in case it piggybacked on something).
    As far as system restore software, I keep none =x
    Never have, and I change over OS's relatively often (I went from 7 this past fall to 7/Kubuntu/BTLinux, to 8DeveloperPreview/Kubuntu/BTLinux, to overwriting Kubuntu with 7 a few weeks later, overwrote 8DevPrev to 8ConsumerPreview, and then removed both linux partitions and remerged with a fresh install of two separate partitions for 7 and 8 (I help with some OS compatibility/stress testing for a friend's software development company).
    As far as software that monitors or interacts with online connections..
    Adobe Flash Player 11 Plugin, Apple Application Support, Apple Software Update, Bonjour, Google Chrome (not that it's preferred over FF, just over IE ;]), Java(TM) 7 Update 3, Microsoft Security Essentials, Microsoft Silverlight (I started having issues not long after I installed Silverlight, however I don't feel like this is causing any issue, as I tried removing it and reinstalling everything from scratch, but no luck), Mozilla Firefox 11.0 (x86 en-US)/Mozilla Firefox 12.0 (x86 en-US), Mozilla Maintenance Service, No-IP DUC (tested this and found no difference or ability for it to hinder FF), (previously) Skype 5.8, TortoiseSVN 1.7.5.22551 (32 bit), and WinSCP 4.3.7.
    None of which I've found to have issues with Firefox in the past, as well as FF was working with them until just recently.
    As far as I can tell, automatic updates were disabled for everything (including my OS), and no changes had been made to any of the software, with the exception of I had installed Silverlight, but as mentioned earlier, I didn't find any issues with this.
    Like you say, my best guess at this point would be that there's something funky set up with my partitions, and so I may just do another fresh wipe and try again (it just takes forever to get everything installed that I need for school, so I'll probably just wait it out for a while).
    The only reason in which I would go against it being a partition setup issue, is that it -was- working. However, I do recognize that something could have come up after a while (not sure how, but I don't doubt it).
    I hadn't thought about downgrading past 11, but it's definitely worth a shot, and I'm more than willing to try. once I'm done with stuff today I'll give it a shot and post the results here.
    Thanks so much for your suggestions.

  • I have 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.10 and am getting a "blocked plug-in" error message, how can I rectify this situation?

    I have OS X 10.6.8 with Safari 5.1.10 and am getting a "blocked plug-in" error message. I have already gone into the Safari/preferences/securtiy and the allow all plug-ins has been checked. What can I do to rectify this situation?

    Niel, I clicked on the message and tried to download an updated flash player but it would not let me do it! The same error message - blocked plu-in - came up again when I went to step 3 in the download process. My iMac ia an older model 4,1 with power PC could this be causing the problem?

  • On my Yahoo emails and certain websites I get an error message. I download and install Flash Player and I still get the error. How can I fix this? It's very annoying because I have to use IE instead.

    When I use IE I don't have this problem. It's only with Firefox.

    Update your Flash Player which is way out of date, even your newer one won't work well with Firefox and many security updates have occurred since..

    The current Flash is Shockwave Flash 10.3.181.26 You have both Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19 and 10.0 r45 -- you will probably have to uninstall the 7.0 version through the control panel, do that first. Use the Adobe page to update as you are less likely to get crapware install suggestions from that page.
    Afterwards run a plug-in update type in about:plugins into location bar and hit enter at the top of the list is a link for for plugins test which you should check out<br>

    When installing updates, watch out for crapware installs, the checking and the updates are supplied by the plugin makers -- not by Mozilla.

    You are on Windows 7, which means you've got decent hardware and software, you should be on Firefox 4. www.mozilla.com to get the latest version.
    Next week Firefox 5 comes out, your toolbar changes changes to Fx4 will still work in Fx5. Then ...

    If you install "Adblock Plus" extension with a filter subscription such as "EasyList US" which you can subscribe to from the extensions options options once installed. That will eliminate many flash ads, and help somewhat with news sites which have a lot of Flash pages but possibly only the ads start automatically.
