After saving, word documents have been disappearing from my macbook air

After saving, word documents have been disappearing from my macbook air. Have checked outlook temp files, temporary files don't show them, can't find them anywhere. Includes coursework files that I have lost because I don't back up regularly. Even the finder cannot find them, word recent documents doesn't show them. 100% positive I saved htem. Please help someone!!!

Hi there. If you have save file selected in word you should be able to find it. Here is some options.  http://superuser.com/questions/845543/accidentally-clicked-dont-save-in-new-word -document  You could select the finder, then Go from the top menu and then go to folder from the drop down list. Then type in private/var/folders then enter.

  • I have deleted iPhoto from my MacBook Air. When I try to reinstall it, itunes tries to charge me. Is there a way to reinstall the old version for free?

    I have deleted iPhoto from my MacBook Air. When I try to reinstall it, itunes tries to charge me. Is there a way to reinstall the old version for free?

    depening on what OS you're running you should be able to reinstall it without charge since it's part of the operating system. if running 10.6.8 or earlier you will need to use the applications install disc if there is one or if you only have one disc you can put it in and do a reinstall of the OS which will put the iphoto back on. if running 10.7 or 10.8 can sign into the app store w/ the same apple id that is associated w/ the mac and it should show in your purchases for you to reinstall it. you may need to click on the accept button if it appears next to the iphoto in your purchase listing.

  • My emails keep disappearing from my MacBook Air, my iPhone

    My emails keep disappearing from all devices--MacBook Air, iPhone, iPad as well as our archair Sony VAIO w/Windows XP. We use Comcast, a "POP" account. All settings have been changed to never delete, empty trash after 90 days, etc., per Apple, AT&T and Comcast "techs". To where are they going? Can they be retrieved? Why does this keep happening? How can we prevent this from happening?

    Is there a category for the dissappearing emails? Do they have anything in common? Have you tried refreshing the inbox?
    Another possiblity is that since Macs and iPhones categorize mail a little differently, try going the the "all mail" section. You can find it under your account mail. That is, instead of going to your inbox, you go under there, where is says "accounts" and shows all your accounts, including the icons for each mail service. There should be a group saying "all mail" if you use google. Let me know if you find the disappearing mails.

  • I HAVE BEEN USING MID 2011 MACBOOK AIR 11 INCH.I AM LOSING MY HARD DRIVE SPACE WITHOUT ANY REASON.FIRST IT WAS 84.1 GB NOW IT IS 83.9 AND SLOWLY LOSING SPACE.WHY IS THAT?? PLS PLS HELP

    I have macbook air mid 2011 .. Now i am losing my hard drive space without any apparent reason..I am not downloading anything not i am adding anything still that i am losing my hard drive space for no apparent reason..pls pls help..

    I have never heard of a relation between the enabled state of Time Machine, and boot. Its probably coincidental.
    Try booting in Safe Mode (hold down shift key, whilst booting). Then check for apllications in your Users & Groups preferences that are starting up with login. Disable all startup apps, then eanable them one at a time, booting normall. See which app is possibly hanging.
    You can also try doing a Repair Permissions and Repair Disk on your startup drive. This must be done within Disk Utility when booted to your Recovery Partition. To boot to the Recovery Partition, hold down the OPTION key while booting, and select the Recovery Partition drive to boot from. Then run Disk Utility.

  • I have no sound from my macbook air

    i got my macbook air for christmas, i have barely anything on this computer, but i notice that if i plug headphones in and then unplug i get NO sound from the computer??.. then i plug in the headphones and no sound there either =( . Do i need to take my computer back or am i missing something really easy?

    Update to 10.9.2 ,   sporadic issue resolved from my testing.
    upper- left ,     "software update"
    10.9 and 10.9.1 in some instances would lose sound IF you sleep your Air with phones attached.
    resolved from all indications in 10.9.2 just released couple days ago.
    Peace

  • Word documents have disappeared from my desk top (macbook air) and cannot be found anywhere, happened after switching off and re-bootingk

    Saved word documents have dissappeared from the desk top after saving. Problem seems to occur when laptop is switched off and then re-started. they can't be found anywhere e.g tried spotlight, recent documents etc. Help. Joe

    First, you might as well address the two apparently-minor issues you found:
    Some info on the Epson Scanner Monitor (via searching these forums):
    http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8272208&#8272208
    Not sure about the MS Word message, but it looks like you might need an upgrade. I'd check with Microsoft, or perhaps VersionTracker.com.
    Ok, back to the original problem. Does the message have any other text (intelligible or not)?
    Does it give you any options, especially "report"? If so, take it, then look via Console for a crash log.
    What IS in the system log for the sleep/wake time? There should be a System Sleep, followed by a System Wake, and perhaps another line or two. Anything in that area might be helpful.

  • Why have my January photographs disappeared from my ipad air but appeared on my ipad?

    i took photos with the ipad air. they have synched with the ipad but the earliest ones have now disappeared from the ip air. As have other earlier photos. Also, I'm paying for extra Cloud but how do I access it ? Machine keeps saying I have no space but then shows I have only used a fraction of the cloud I have paid for! How do I unlock that space then?

    Thanks. But it has been open all the time and it is not uploading. also no idea how to get back to reply to you on the forum. So I seem to be doing what i am supposed to be doing. Everything is open and ticked but nothing is happening.
    i don't know why i have lost many photos from my ipad air. Many, but not all of them, are on my original ipad 2.
    Should I just do something like reset everything? That always terrifies me as I do not want to lose all, any more, of my photos
    Best wishes

  • Hello, all the documents in all the folders on the desktop have been disappeared. I did not do anything. I did not install or remove anything. Does anyone know the reason?

    Hello, all the documents in all the folders have been disappeared. Especially documents on desktop. I have not install or remove anything. Do you know the reason? What should I do?

    In order to restore something from Time Machine, the backup must occur before the lose.
    A backup after the lose is worthless.
    The files are gone now.

  • My word perfect documents have been changed to .doc but I can't open them in pages. ugh!

    my word perfect documents have been changed to .doc but I can't open them in pages. ugh!
    they are wpd files from around 2001-2003 that my Dad emailed me and on a PC was easy to simply relabel as .doc but despite this I cannot open in pages or convert to pages.
    Please can you help me?
    cheers!
    DT

    In fairness to Pages, only apps that can handle Word Perfect docs of that vintage can open them, either.  W
    As Viking said, changing the extension does nothing to the file structure & metadata of the document.  At one time Mac people didn't bother with the extensions, because they were simply a visible indicator of the app that made them, and the Mac would get that information from the file itself.
    Since you changed the extensions, some Windows apps may still use those extensions to tell them the file source. When they try to open a .wpd file as if it were a .doc file, they will get very confused.
    You can try to open the files by using the Menu> Open command, with the setting of "all files."  IF and only if the app can handle .wpd files, then maybe it will open it & ignore the extension.

  • I believe firefox has updated itself recently and when it did so I have had items removed from the desk top and all my picturs and documents have been moved, my profile settings are now gone as well. Help please

    Hello, I think Firefox was automatically updated the night before last. I think this because I now am sent to the Firefox home page rather than where I was previously going. The issues that have come up are several. 1. Everything other than programs that were on my desktop have been removed. This isn't a big problem but has happened. 2. When I reboot my computer I get messages saying that the profile that has been used is either corrupted or there isn't enough security to open it or something like that. as a result it opens a generic profile and puts everything to default, when I close and reboot it has to do the same thing over again. 3. When I got this issue I tried to go to system restore and it had been turned off. I turned it back on and there were no past dates left to go back to. 4. all my photo files have been removed from the picture area, and all documents as well. I am able to search and locate them but now need to resave over 8000 items to the right places.
    Can anyone help me with these issues? Is there some place or service that can remotely access my computer and fix whatever this is?

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • My documents and pictures have been erased from one day to the next

    I've closed my macbook pro last thursday without shutting down, the next day when opening again all my documents and pictures have been erased from my files. I cannot find them anywhere, and they are also not in the recycle bin. Has anybody else had this problem recently and does anybody know how I can recover my files? All my pictures from my little son birth from last year until now are gone!
