I saved a document in pages and have overtyped,  I thought I was savings a separate document.  It seems to have overridden the original.  Is there anyway to get the original document back?

Sorry first time I have posted so if I have got this wrong I apoligise.
Hi, I have produced a letter on pages and saved this.  Then I needed to send another letter to the same person and overtyped the original.  I thought I was saving a version so would have both.  It seems that the original is no longer there and the second one has saved in its place.  Is there any way I can retrieve the original.  I did not have timetravel installed, but do now.

W,
Assuming that you began your editing session by saving your work somewhere, you should be able to scroll back through your document in roughly 10-minute intervals, or less if you saved a version more often than that by typing Command-S, which would be good. Click on the document name and select Browse all Versions.
If, on the other hand, you opened a new document and typed for hours without ever giving your document a name and storage location and then overwrote it, you may be out of luck. Perhaps someone who knows more about the internals than I will come along and tell you where you could poke about in the file system to look for a temporary file that might contain bits of your work. Otherwise you may have to consider it a lesson learned the hard way.
Save early, save often.

  • My phone went into recovery mode and had to be factory restored, I hadnt backed it up to either the cloud or a computer in a long time and therefore I have lost all of my messages.  Is there anyway to get the messages without a recent backup?

  • HT4859 I backedup iphone 4 and iphone 5 to icloud. I need contacts from the ipone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups now. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4?

    I backedup my iphone 4 to the cloud before upgrading to an iphone 5. I also backedup my iphone 5 to icloud. I can see both phone's backups side by side on the my screen on icloud. But it will not allow me to restore the iphone 4 backup to my iphone 5.  I need contacts from the iphone 4 backup but I do not have that phone anymore and icloud will only let me restore the iphone 5's backups to my iphone 5. Is there anyway to get the contacts from my previous iphone 4 backup?

    You should be syncing your contacts with an app on your computer or cloud service (iCloud, Gmail, Yahoo, etc), and not relying on a backup.  If you haven't been doing this, start now and then restore your old backup.  You will then be able to sync the new contacts back into the phone.  However, you will lose all messages, etc newer thant the backup.

  • HT201269 I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die.  If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud.

    I have years worth of music on my PC that is about to die.  If I get an iPad is there anyway to get the music from my PC onto the iPad? I have the iCloud but my understanding is only music actually purchased from iTunes lives int he cloud. I have music that was legally purchased and loaded to my iTunes account from cd's that I no longer own.  I need a new laptop and am deciding between the iPad and the Mac book.  I use the computer for music, photos, and web - nothing else and nothing fancy.  I don't know that there is a way to save my huge music library without saving it to an external hard drive and then loading it to a new one (does the iPad have a port to plug an external hard drive into?)

    First, you would need to make a backup of the entire iTunes folder on the PC. You could get music to the iPad if the PC was still functioning, or you would have to move the music to another computer. An iPad is not a laptop, and does not have a port to plug an external drive into. You can sync music to the iPad from the computer, but you are correct, unless you get iTunes Match, you would need a computer to copy the music to and then sync to an iPad.

  • My young child bought over $600.00 worth of apps., is there anyway to get the money back

    My young child bought over $600.00 worth of apps., is ther anyway to get the money back?

    Wow!  You learned what could have been a *VERY* expensive lesson at a relatively low price.
    Another poster had set an American Express account (unlimited credit, in many cases) as payment method for iTunes, and had given his iPhone to his grandson.  The grandson bought a $300 zoo-something game.  The other poster may or may not have learned from that episode.
    The lesson is that children do NOT feel financial responsibility when happily clicking to get pretty pictures and fun games and "cool" songs.  That grandfather could have been $80,000 in the hole potentially if the grandson went hog-wild.
    The solution is two-fold, in my humble opinion:
    Buy a prepaid mastercard with a $100 limit.  Make that the payment method.  That limits loss to $100.
    Supervise your cildren when they use accounts you will have to pay for.

  • Is there anyway to get the ipod out of being locked and having a password that was forgotten off?

    Is there anyway to get the ipod out of being locked and having a password that was forgotten off?

    Connect to the iPod to iTunes and restore it. Right click on the name of the iPod under DEVICES and click Restore. If it says it can't restore because the device is locked with a passcode, put it in Recovery Mode: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • I have collected alot of music over the years and the new update will delete all my music.  I have puchased a new computer about a year ago so the previous music that I have is not available.  Is there anyway to get the update and not lose all my music

    I have collected alot of music over the past couple years and the new update for the itouch says that it will erase all music and videos on the ipod.  Is there anyway to do the update and not lose all my music or is there a way to take all the music off my ipod and store it on my computer to put back on after the update?  Any help

    ... I have had numerous computers over the past years
    Let me guess, you have had numerous Windows computers, all of which crashed or became worthless virus-ridden junk. Happens every day, yet people think Macs are expensive.
    Anyway, you are going to need the assistance of third party utilities to extract your iPod Touch's content. See wjosten's procedure here:

    Working background went BLACK. Tried reinstall Photoshop Elements 10 and it is still BLACK.  Makes it really hard to crop a picture with blackback gounds

    See if right clicking just outside the picture area and choosing Gray fixes it.

  • How to restore deleted playlists to an itouch after syncing with wrong device. Tried to search for device to restore under devices and it completely removed it as a device on itunes. Is there anyway to get the information back?

    To start we have several users and devices on our itunes account....Several weeks ago I was using my itouch to create playlists for a few aerobics classes that I teach.  Right before I was about to unplug the itouch I got a notification that my itouch was full and didnt have any space left.  Since I was done with what I was doing at the time, I unplug my itouch and figured I would delete unwanted songs later to create more room. A week later, I went to sync my itouch into itunes and over the devices it told me that it was named another device and wanted to know if i wanted to sync the information to my itouch I had just plug in.  I had never seen this message before in all the other times I had used it, and at the time I didnt realize that it was giving my device the name of another user in my house. Without realizing it itunes started to sync the new information to my itouch.  I immediately unplugged the usb cable stopping the process.  I then replugged the usb cable in, hoping to get done what I needed to get done on my itouch thinking it might have just been a strange glitch. Also, since I hadn't notice any change on my itouch from the incorrect syncing, I continued to start itunes again.  This time it asked me the same question as before "did I want to sync the information from another ipod?". Since I didnt notice any changes before I just let it do the syncing not realizing at the time that it was earsing all the info I had on my itouch and replacing it with info coming from the other users ipod.
    I contacted Apple and they gave me infomation on how I could go look for my itouch under devices and get the information back.  When I did this my itouch was no longer there under the devices and it was replaced with the new name that itunes had given my itouch.  This device is one of the first generation itouches and has never been backed up that I know of... So my question to you all is...Is there any way of getting my playlists back???? I spend countless hours creating these playlists for my classes and have been completely out of my mind trying to figure out how I can possibly get the infomation back. Please let me know if you think there might be a way to do this!!!     

    The devices that are listed are: 2 under the name of the device that synced incorrectly with mine and then 3 others that are not associated with my itouch. The name of the ipod, before the incorrect sycning is no longer under devices.  It has been replaced with the incorrect one because I can see the serial # of my ipod under the wrong name.
    The playlists that are in my itunes library are from an ipod that I used a few times before I took this one over... Which happens to be the ipod that took on the ID of my itouch.
    Both of these ipods used to be my kids.. I used my sons a few times and then switched to my daughters.  They each had their names attachted to their particular devices and now it just says my sons, which is the ipod that itunes was connecting to when all this happened. The really strange thing is my son doesnt use his ipod any longer and now uses his phone for music...So, it had been a while since that particular device was even synced to itunes!
    I hope this helps!

  • Just sent in daughter's Ipod touch 5th generation to be fixed....They sent me a new one....is there anyway to get the contents of her old one onto the new one?  I synced the old one with Itunes before I sent it in and backed it up on my computer.

    Sure, as soon as you open iTunes with the new iPod connected, it will have a "Welcome to your New iPod" screen. Just choose Restore from backup.

  • So I have warranty on my iphone4s and my phone4s is messed up but I'm going to the apple store. So they'll probably give me a new one but is there anyway to get the iphone 5 instead?

    I just wanna know!

    No. If you get the phone replaced, it will be with an identical model. If you want an upgrade to an iPhone 5, you will have to buy an iPhone 5. Apple does not do trade ins.

  • Is there anyway to get the back light fix on a ipod

    The back light on my sons ipod doesnt work. The device works fine you just cant see anything.
    Any ideas of how to get this fix.
    I dont want to buy another one.

    Unfortunatley, no accessibility feature in the general settings.
    You can change the text size for mail (in mail settings) , but text messages and contacts are locked, it seems,  at the default size. This is a drag for me as I now have to either hold my phone out at arms length or put on reading glasses to read text messages and/or make calls.
    Maybe there is an APP for this? - appstore or elsewhere?

  • My computer was stolen 3 months ago. Insurance just replaced my iMac today.. Is there anyway to get my old photo back? Ive tried iCloud but I don't see anything?

    I think I've tried everything.... any suggestions

    If you have the photos synced ti iCloud, than with the same apple id set up iCloud in your new iMac and make shore you check on the Photos in the iCloud peferences.

  • My laptop crashed so now its empty well i had to reinstall itunes but my ipod says its already synced with another library :( is there anyway to get my old library back on my laptop again

    Please Help!!!

    I suspect you only migrated the media folder instead of the complete working library. Either review the transfer process and copy over the entire iTunes folder from your old profile's music folder or see Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device.
