Any help appreciated: Can I recover the edited version of my word document?

Hi everyone,
So sorry if I am asking a question that's been answered a million times before. I was working on a document for a few hours and it kept crashing (force quit) every once in a while after I copy pasted text. Luckily, everytime I clicked on the word icon the version I was working on was immediately recovered; all changes were saved.
The suddenly, after I had to force quit the program another time and clicked on the icon, none of the changes I made where there anymore. I've been looking through my computer but i just cannot find the version I worked on. Not in my trash..no temporary file or temporary folder. I did check the preferences in word and while "create backup copy" wasn't checked, auto recovery info was set to 10 minutes.
So, before I start editing my document from scratch and despite there being little to no hope, I wanted to make sure I ask whether there is anything I can do to recover the file I was working on?
Thanks so much for the help!

Not sure why it is Crashing but you had better get in the habit of saving every minute or 2. It's quite simple. Just hit the Command + s keys.

Can I recover a different version of a Pages document from the cloud?

I was on a phone interview for a class, taking notes in Pages. I lost internet connectivity during the interview. When I reconnected, I was given the option of choosing a version of my document, last updated either from my MacBook or from the cloud. I assumed the version on my MacBook would be the most recent and most complete, so I chose that version. Well, I was wrong. I lost my interview notes. I'm wondering if there is a way to recover the other version of my document or if I sent it into oblivion because I didn't select it.
Thank you for your time,
Anndee

No. I tried it on my Time Machine (I had just made one change today, so I knew I would not be left in the lurch if I failed) and when I clicked on restore I got this message:
It seems you have several options. I chose 'Keep Both'. I suggest that you proceed with your search.
Ciao.

Where can I find the latest version number in a document in the web? so I can download it with wget to check if the current installed firefox version is up to date and update ir if necessary?

My problem is that I can't find the latest version number in here http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/latest/win32 as a document, so I can check against "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Mozilla\Mozilla Firefox\CurrentVersion" and update or not, all this is done by a script. It will be great not have to change the versión number in the script every time there is a new release.
Thanks

I think I solved, all I have to do is this:
//here I download the entire page
wget.exe http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html -O index
//here I search for the word curVersion and set a variable with the result, which is "10.0.2"
for /f "tokens=3 delims=</> " %%A IN ('type index ^| FIND /I "curVersion" ' ) do set latestversion=%%A
//here I just make sure I get a number
echo "%latestversion%"
pause
Later I check it against the registry and voila! I hope this can help other admins who have the same problem.
Regards.

I created an Imovie on Ipad. Before exporting the Imovie, I deleted the video clips from camera roll. Error message "this proj. contains clips which have been deleted from your photo library." Help! Can I recover the "preview" file of my video in Imovie?

Is there an app out there to find the files within Imovie app on my Ipad where the Imovie "preview" is playing from?
I deleted the original vidoe clips from my Camera Roll before exporting the Imovie to Youtube because my camera roll was out of memory.
I'm using the latest Imovie app for Ipad.
Cheers

HT1212 I am unable to get our of a continuous cycle when trying to update or restore my iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.

When I tried to update my iPad I got an error 9. Now, I am unable to access my iPad. It is in a continuous cycle when I try to update or restore the iPad 2. Plug in to iTunes 12.0.1 (latest version). Click update, told can't update, have to restore. Restore fails with error 9. Any help appreciated.
Here's the cycle:
I plug in my iPad when “cable to iTunes shows on iPad screen. It says "Your iPad can't be updated, you must restore it to factory settings." That bad enough news, but it gets worse.
Click Restore
Extracting software…
Preparing iPad for restore
Waiting for iPad…
Verifying iPad restore with Apple…
(empty bar under the Apple logo…does not show any activity)
“The iPad “iPad” could not be restored. An unknown error occurred (9).”
Notes: I just upgraded to OS X Yosemite 10.10.1 on my iMac (27-inch, Mid 2011) in the last week. It’s the first time I’m tried to backup/update my iPad since the iMac update.
I swapped out the USB cable to a new cable and get the same results.
I also unplugged all other USB devices from the iMac and security on my iPad and still get the same results.
I find it strange that it shows no Serial number for my my iPad 2 when plugged in. It shows “Serial Number: n/a on the screen when it displays: “iPad Recovery Mode To update your iPad without erasing its contents, click Update. To restore your iPad to its factory settings, click Restore iPad.
I prefer to update my iPad, but it displays “Your iPad can’t be updated, you must restore it to factory settings. If you previously backed up the iPad, click Restore Backup after the restore process completes.”
It’s a continuous loop. I get the display on my iPad to plug in the iPad to iTunes, plug it in which ends after going through the above procedure saying an error occurred (9).
So now I cannot use my iPad. When I turn it on I get the display showing me to plug it into iTunes with the cable. Since this is the only option I have I plug it in and the loop begins.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Hello jaybearden,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are not able to restore the iOS device since you get an error 9. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
Resolve iOS update and restore errors - Apple Support
Check your security software
Related errors: 2, 4, 6, 9, 1000, 1611, 9006. Sometimes security software can prevent your device from communicating with either the Apple update server or with your device.
Check your security software and settings to make sure that they aren't preventing a connection to the Apple servers.

Any help appreciated - iTune compression problems

Hi there,
Just bought a second hand iPhone 3g yesterday that has to last me out 5 months before my contract is up and I can hopefully get a 5 if it's out (touchwood).
Transferred some music from iTunes to my iPhone and on the phone speakers it sounds fine, however when I put my headphones into the jack it's incredibly distorted and sounds like it's suffered far too much compression.
I'm guessing this is possibly a headphone jack related problem as opposed to a compression issue? Tried converting files to AAC but made no difference
Any help appreciated!
Thanks
Dan

FYI - the iPhone includes a single external speaker. The opposite grill that appears the same is a microphone.
If this were a compression or format issue, the same would occur when playing the music via the speaker. Using earbuds has no affect on the compression or format. More than likely this is a headphone jack related problem or there could be a problem with the earbuds being used.

I was trying to sync my 120GB iPod Classic earlier and it said it couldn't sync as the iPod disk could not be "read" or "written to". I now can't get anything onto my iPod, and I was wondering if it is a hard drive problem? Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Did you go into iTunes to change the location of your media files? if not you will need to go into iTunes and click on preference and select the advance tab then click the iTunes Media folder location. Select the location of your on external hard drive.

I somehow installed a version of Firefox which won't work on my "old" iMac G5 (10.5.8) so I trashed the program and now I can't get it out of my trash bin... Any help appreciated because now I can't empty my trash at all! Thanks.

Greetings from Northern Ontario, Canada

With just ONE inatentive sweep of my finger one page of my note was disappeared! Is there any way it can be recovered without using the help of iCloud backup?

1. With just ONE inattentive sweep of my finger one page of my note disappered. Further more, the same page in my iPad was deleted automatically too! How could this happen? Is there any way it can be recovered without using the backup feature from iCloud? The data is vey important to me?
2. I havn't connect the power code to my iPad yet, the backup copy in the iClout was before the accident as I checked in iPad. Is there any way that I could open my notes in iCloud backup so that I can copy the missing page and move back to my iPad and iPhone?
Thanks a lot for any help!
Xueyu

Sorry, no. The only way to restore this note is to restore from a backup that contains it.

Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app. Only thing that shows on iP screen is music library. Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated.

Recently updated the the apple tv remote app for my iPhone4. Now can no longer turn on the apple tv "box" on/off using iPhone app as I used to do before the update. Only thing that shows on iPhone screen is music library. Home Sharing is on. Any help appreciated. Sorry if this is not exactly the right place to post this!

One clue: I have found a reliable way to solve the problem when it happens.
In my network, I have the main Airport Extreme (Gen 1) which is connected to my router, which distributes IP addresses to my internal subnet. The other two AEs (one Gen 4, one Gen 5) are set to extend the network.
When I get this problem with an AppleTV 2 that can "see" my library, but when I try to open it, it says it couldn't find the library, it seems to have to do with a change in which Airport Extreme it's talking to.
If I restart the main Airport Extreme from the Airport Utility, effectively restarting the entire wireless network, then when the network resumes, every AppleTV 2 is happy again.
Unfortuntely, the problem does seem to recur - but I'm wondering if it's because temporary interference leads an AppleTV 2 to try to connect to a different AE, and somehow that's mucking with the Home Sharing. Remember, internet access (Trailers, Store, Netflix) have no issues. Purely Home Sharing.

HT1766 I recently replaced my iphone and took 6 weeks of new pictures, I plugged it to my computer and by accident I restored the back from 4 months ago and erased my new pictures. How can I recover the new pictures ?? Help!!

Sorry those pics might be gone, since you restored from your backup.
Only way possible if by some possibility you were able to backup your current data to itunes, then you can restore from that backup.
Open itunes - edit - preference - devices - backup - see if there is an up to date backup.
If you don't have one then sorry those pics are gone.

Thanks Andy,
I wish I could have told my sister about this as she could not open my homepage back before my new iWeb site. She now can open my site without the yet in case denial window does appear = I thank you.
I think my iWeb site works as Noone has said otherwise from any platform etc...

I do agree that should not have to be a consideration for any users so i agree that it would be great if Apple could allow simplicity to run seemlessly.
I have had this problem since Homepage, and here is
what has worked for me. I send out the link, and
then for PC users I send the link with "<" after the address (without quotation
marks. e.g., <http://site.com>).
I also put a note that if that doesn't work, to just
copy and paste the link into a browser. With that I
have only had 1 person say they still can't open.
Everyone else gets it to work.
It's a lot to do and seems like a hassle, but you get
used to it.
Hope this helps!
Andy Martini
PS - APPLE! When are you going to fix this??! It
seems like such a small thing yet you guys have been
stumped for YEARS on this!

Does anyone know if there is any difference at all in the display between the 4 and the 4s. I use my 4 with no problems but have issues with the 5 - makes me feel ill. Any help appreciated before I make an expensive mistake

Can anyone tell me if there is any difference at all in the display between the 4 and 4s. It appears they are the same from the specs but I dont want to make an expensive mistake. I can use the 4 with no problems but the 5 makes me feel ill and I am hoping I can upgrade to a 4s with no issues. Any help appreciated.

In a technical sense, the differences between the displays on the iPhone 4 vs 4s are vast. I'm mean, they are both attached to 70 - 90% of the internal components and far from interchangeable. There are no differences however, that are noticeable by the user.

Any help appreciated: Can I recover the edited version of my word document?
