After my recent update, excel did not save my latest copy.  it retrieved a copy from over a month ago.  How do i get my data from the last 4 weeks back?

Yesterday, I updated my computer.  I have a excel document that I use everyday for work and saved the document prior to doing such.  After updating, I had to restart the computer.  Now when I open that excel document, it brings me back to a copy of the program I created over 4 weeks ago.  How do I get the most recent copy which had over 4 weeks of work in it?
Thanks

Good morning Gandrin
There is quite a difference between syncing and back-up and they are different features in iTunes, although some people combine them together.
1.  The first thing that happens when you connect your device is that a photo manager asks if you want to offload your photos.  I always do this because it is the most valuable way to back-up your photos only.
2.  Then Itunes will come up and if you have automatic sync turned on it will begin to sync FROM your computer to your device.  It's a one-way sync and is the primary way to keep photos, music and some apps managed on your device.   New apps are synced onto your Itunes app tab. If you add or delete items in your iTunes folders then those changes are synced to your device.  I always check to make sure my new apps are now in my iTunes library and specific device tab.
4.  There is also a back-up step where you can back your device onto your computer.  I think this is the step that should have been done when you got your new PC.  It doesn't save the apps here but does save their setting and data. I prefer to set this up to be a manual back-up process.

5.  There is also a a "Automatically sync new apps checkbox in your itunes device apps tabs.  That should be checked "on".
6.  If the missing apps were purchased through iTunes then I think you can download them again (make sure you use the same Apple Id).  If you then resync with itunes those apps should appear in iTunes for you.
Maybe there is something in my rambling that will help

    You appear to have an iPhone 5. Snipsnap 2.4.2, the current version, says it works on iPhone 5, iOS 5.0 or later. Why do you want an out of date version of the app?

    If they were songs you purchased from itunes, try redownloading them from your purchases...
    if that doednt work, make sure the optuon to copy files to itunes media folder is checked in settings, then find and download from the net. and re-add them to your library

  • How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

  • How do you get deleted data from the app Tote M'Notes back on iPad ????

    How do I get deleted data from app Tote M'Notes back???...Not displaying in my notebook anymore...also how do i retrieve data from apps stored in Icloud?

    Why don't you use the fully-qualified-domain-name (FQDN) of your GW and perform a re-direct to this ?
    This should be known (and everytime the same), addtionally you won't have any problems if there's any load balancer in between or in fron of the GWs.
    Secondly you'll have problems to get the IP -address if there's any proxy server involved.

  • I purchased 3 ringtones from itunes.  It did not put them under ringtones on my phone.  It is under purchases.  How can I get them under ringtones for iphone 5?

    I purchased 3 ringtones in Itunes.  It put one under ringtones and the others listed under music icon as recently purchased.  How do I get them under ringtones?

    Tones is the new name for Ringtones. If the entry is missing in the left-hand column of iTunes then enable it from Edit > Preferences > General tab.
    If your existing tones are not syncing properly to your iOS device then uncheck the option to Sync Tones from the Tones tab when the device is connected, sync the device, check the option and sync again.

  • How do I get my data from Sync account after I reformat my computers without backup favourites?

    Hello,
    I formatted my computer without backup all of my favourites in Firefox. I have Firefox sync account set up before that between the 2 computers but both of them have formatted. Now, how do I get the data out from my Sync account? Did Firefox save my data on their server and how can I check that?
    Thanks,

    Also:
    *If you have regenerated your Sync key or reset your Sync password, you can not recover your previous data
    *IMPORTANT - write down your Sync key as instructed in the original set up of Sync
    *if you have another device (computer or mobile) paired to the computer where you are having a problem, you can either:
    *#pair the problem computer to that other device
    *#get the Sync key from that other device
    '''<u>Remember</u>''', Sync was never intended for backup. The reason for its existence is to sync-up 2 devices. To back up your Firefox profile, which you should do frequently, to another drive or a pin/thumb drive or other backup media, see:

  • I have 800 songs on my i phone but only 250 on laptop, how do I get all music onto the laptop as back up? Im pretty sure I did have some music on another computer so maybe the effects trying to back up all music? Any help much appreciated. Thanks

    Need help with putting all music from phone onto laptop, pretty sure I did use another computer at some point to put music onto my phone, will this have affect trying to back all music up on laptop? Any help welcome.

    The iphone is not a backup/storage device.
    The sync is one way - computer to iphone. The only exception is itunes purchases.  File>Transfer Purchases

    I have a PC computer and an i-phone 4S.  I set up an i-tunes acct online w/ icloud.  After a recent update my PC started receiving an error message on start up.  It says "AppleSyncNotifier.exe - Entry Point Not Found".  It also says, " The procedure entry point smlTextreaderConstName could not be located in the dynamic link library libxml2.dll".  I click on OK and it moves on.  It doesn't seem to affect my computer, but it's annoying.  Any ideas on correcting this?

    UPDATE - (Made a second post so it'd be clearer)
    I uninstalled Office 2003, then iTunes, then all of the associated software (Mobile Device Support, Apple Update, Quicktime, EVERYTHING)
    Reinstalled Office 2003, then Office 2003's Service Pack 3, then all Microsoft Updates for Office 2003. Then I configured a blank Outlook profile, no data other than the IMAP info for my .Mac/Me account. Then I downloaded (didn't used my existing copy) of iTunes 7.7 and reinstalled. Sync'd phone. Changed MobileMe settings. Told it to sync contacts and calendar with Outlook. It warned me because it was the first sync. Told it to take ALL of the MobileMe data and replace the data on the computer (which was blank.) NOTHING showed up in Outlook. When I tell it to sync Contacts with the Windows Address Book, it works fine.
    In Conclusion, it still won't sync with Outlook, when it's set to Sync with Outlook I still get the annoying MAPI errors. So I switched to to Sync the Contacts with the Windows Address Book, and I'm backing up my WAB file now with my nightly backups.
    I suppose we'll see if it gets fixed when I format/reinstall on Vista Ultimate in the next month or two. If anyone has any suggestions, I'm open and willing to try them.
    On a completely unproductive note: Despite my love for Exchange, I hate MAPI.

    The installer should have gone into your Apple Software Update folder:

    You didn't import all of your pics regularly?  Particularly before an update?
    They may very well be gone.
    You can try restoring from backup.

  • HT2693 My Pages App will not open after I recently updated it. I'm afraid to lose all my docs if I delete the App and re-install.

    My Pages App will not open after I recently updated it. I'm afraid to lose all my docs if I delete the App and re-install.

    First of all - you are running the proper iOS in order to use the latest version of Pages - correct? You need iOS 6 now.
    If so ....See if this helps. Maybe Pages will open after you try this.
    Quit the Pages app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or ..... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that didn't help backup and send your files into iTunes with file sharing.
    You could lose all of your files if you delete and reinstall the app. That is precisely why you should backup your iPad and send your files into iTunes using files sharing on the iPad. Do you backup or use file sharing?
    Backup your iPad, send the files from the iPad into iTunes using file sharing and then delete the app and reinstall it.

  • Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover file?

    Adobe Reader XI did not save the form data (unlike previous versions). Any way to recover filled form with data from temp locations?
    I was not aware that ctrl+s no longer works in reader and closed the PDF after savign it(with ctrl+s). However ,the data is lost and there seems to be no way to recover it.
    I cannot find any temp files created by Reader on my system.
    Also to my surprize(and shock), the reader did not even show a warning before closing the PDF. Does anybody know if/where can I recover the file from?
    Guys, Please reply ASAP if you have got any sort of solution!

    Hi Pat,
    Are you using Adobe Reader XI? And not Acrobat. It does not ask me to save the form if there are unsaved changes.
    I have used previous versions of reader for saving this form data and it did allow me to save it with ctrl+s. And those versions did prompt me to save the changes before closing.
    I guess I should not have updated the reader.
