Accidentally pressing the "fn" key and spacebar simultaneously erased my entire document. How do I get back everything that I wrote?

Hi! I just got my first Macbook, after years of having PCs crash on me all the time. I'm very excited and very satisfied with it so far. However, as I was writing a very important email, I accidentally pressed the "fn" key and the space bar at the same time, and everything I wrote got deleted. It was almost 2 pages! Is there any way I can get back everything that I wrote? Thank you.

Here's a link to some of them http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1343

  • My homepage shrunk when I accidentally pressed the ctrl key and the underscore key ( I mean't to press the shift key to underscore)

    I was entering a website a wanted to visit which required an underscore,
    but instead of pressing the shift key along with the ' underscore ' key (-_), I pressed the ctrl key and my firefox homepage shrunk to where the print was unreadable. How do I bring the homepage back to where it should be?

    Project deleted in iPhoto 11 ver. 9.1.1
    After spending three months building a twenty six page Book Project in iPhoto i added a page and later decided to delete the page. I selected the page, pressed the delete key and confirmed the delete dialog box ( i didn't read, dummy) by pressing the delete button. The whole project was gone, the undo menu was grayed out and there was nothing in the iPhoto trash about my Book.
    Surly I can find this if I knew the path to find the project in a library on a back column I have of my hard drive.. Could anyone help me?

    Sorry I'm having a hard time getting this.
    If I go to my hard drive BIGMAC>Library>Application Support>iPhoto>the only thing in this folder is Themes.
    However, when I "Get Info" it's 580MB for 24,421 items. iPhoto says I have 35,977 photos. I would think the database would be into the GB for this many photos.
    If I go to BIGMAC>system>Library>I find nothing about iPhoto
    Is the iPhoto file in the Application Support the one I need to replace with my backup?
    Thanks so much for your help.

  • My macbook air does not start! I press the on key and nothing happens.

    my macbook air does not start! I press the on key and nothing happens.
    this morning when I took my macAir it would nt start and when I pluged it, there was no light indicating a charge.
    I checked the charger on my wife's mcAir and it worked.
    I plugged it back to mine and the orange light came.
    since a few hours, the plug is on with the orange light on, and still I cannot start the computer. Nothing happens!
    help!

    Try a SMC reset
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
    This process helps correct these power issues.

  • I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

    I accidentally deleted an Application on my iphone 5 and with it lost important files. How do i get back these files. The last iphone backup sync was after this so I cant even access an older back up as I cannot find them. How do I get back my Lost files.

    On your iMac launch iTunes and at the top next to the Apple symbol click iTunes > Preferences > Devices and tell me what you see. You last sync should be there showing only a device name. If you have an older backup it will be there as well the difference is it will be the device name with a date and time stamp. Sync and backups are two different things and there is a chance iTunes made a backup the first time you hooked up your iPhone 5. 

  • I just pressed the wrong button to erase of my IMac, how can I get back all information from my computer ?

    I just pressed the wrong button to erase of my iMac, how can i get back all information ?

    Possibly through a data rescue service (can cost a four-figure amount) if you didn't have an external backup.
    But you must stop using that Mac immediately, or your data will be over-written.

  • I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library?

    I uploaded pictures from a second camera and my iphoto created a second library, how do i get back to the first library? Can anyone help?

    I have no idea what you did or what happened - but I can assure you that loading from a different camera does not create a new library
    So you need to supply information and someone here will assist you in sorting this out and figuring out what you really did
    What version of iPhoto do you have? What version of the OS? Why do you think that a second library has been created? What do you see when you launch iPhoto with the optipon kep depressed and use the select library option? Where is your iPhoto library normally?
    Anything else you can tell us that might help?

    Please see the bold.  If you're out of icloud storage, then you won't be able to backup to icloud unless you purchase more storage, but yet you said you backup to icloud.
    If you really did backup to icloud no data would be loss - sounds to me that it didn't backup since you had no more free icloud storage space.

  • I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?

    I just installed Readdledocs on my ipod, and now when I launch the app, I get a screen which says "downloading message" and the app freezes and won't do anything else.  How can I get the app to function again?
    This happened after I tried to get Readdledocs to open an epub file which I created in Calibre.

    This is a followup to my own posting above.
    Thanks to Dave Sawyer for posting information about re-downloading an app which has been deleted.  I deleted the app from iTunes.  Then, when I synched, iTunes asked me if I wanted the items on my ipod touch copied back into iTunes.  I said yes and then synched.
    Readdledocs is now working again.  It is no longer frozen.  However, I have learned my lesson.  I will download only pdf's from now on.  I don't think it works so well with epub files.  The text reflow feature of Readdledocs is exactly what I need to use for my work documents on my ipod touch.

    There is no legitimate (Apple supported) way to downgrad an iOS on a device.  Have you tried downloading/installing a new (free) app.  That works for many users with that problem.
