Can I recover earlier version of Powerpoint presentation? I accidentally deleted the content and then (DOH!) saved it.

EIGHT hours into a Powerpoint presentation. Wanted to delete the content of a particular slide. Did a "command +A" (select all), hit delete...and then like a complete idiot, saved it, thereby overwriting all of the content. The file itself has not been deleted...now it's just a blank presentation with all content MIA. Previous to this screw up, there were 49 versions. Is there a way I can find the last version before my DEFCON LEVEL: BLONDE moment???

Not unless you have Time Machine running and can recover an older copy from there

TS3999 how can i recover my calendar from icloud? i accidentally deleted the information on my calendar

I changed some settings on my ipad and now my calendar is blank on both my ipad and iphone. Can i restore my calendar on my phone?

Tap Settings > iCloud
Switch Calendars ON.
You may need to do that on both devices.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync the data.

Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted today?

Can I recover SMS messages from iCloud that I accidentally deleted off my phone today?

Sorry but the only thing you can do with a backup to iCloud is restore the entire backup to an iOS device. It is an all or nothing thing. There isn't a way to get to them using a computer or to access just the backed up text messages. If you also backed up to iTunes, there are 3rd party utilities that will extract data from a backup made using iTunes.

Apple address book is not responding -can i delete the application , and then reinstall it

on my imac apple address book is not responding -can i delete the application and then reinstall it - all contacts are backed up to icloud

If you have in mind backup, I would not count on iCloud backup, just go to ~/Library/Application Support/Address Book. In Lion, ~/Library is available by pressing Option key when selecting Go while in the finder. Backup that folder.
Deleting that app will create further troubles. When a basic Apple app bahaves like that, you should better identify why it behaves like that, it may mean a more serious system issue. Is this the only app, which presents this problem? If yes, rather delete its associated plist file in ~/Preferences (the same location, press Option when selecting Go).
Do regular backups of your data, choose a backup app you consider appropriate and proceed. When you are familiar with its reactions, you may then ‘play’ with deleting the partition and install/reinstall.

HT203242 I've tried all of the suggested solutions, but I still can't get my cd drive recognised. If I delete the driver and rebot, the cd drive appears, but as soon as the driver automatically installs, the driver disappears into the Q: drive

I've tried all of the suggested solutions, but I still can't get my cd drive recognised on my laptop. If I delete the driver and reboot, the cd drive appears, but as soon as the driver automatically installs, the driver disappears into the Q: drive, which is not accessible and neither is the CD drive

I had the same or similar problem after installin iTunes 11 on my Acer Laptop with Vista. The new iTunes ran but I
completely lost access to my CdRom/DVD drive. Error Code 19 was displayed in Windows Device Manager. Found out
this is more widespread of a problem than expected. After trying several forum recommended fixes, the Only thing that gave me back my CdRom drive was doing a Windows Restore to a date prior to iTunes 11 install. I got my drive back but it also restored me to the prior 10.0.7.21 vers of iTunes which no longer worked due to missing files. iTunes help
recommended a Reinstall. I am reluctant to do that for several reason. That's where I am at for now until I find out if there are any other risks for using iTunes 11 vs. Registry Errors vs. Losing access to my CdRom drive. Brad

I accidentally deleted an app and then redownloaded it, but all my data was gone. Can I retrieve that data because I already redownloaded it?

Can someone please help? I really want to get back the data from this app and I already tried downloading it from the purchased section in the App Store but it gave the most recent download's data. I need the initial download's data!

I am not using cloud and I haven't backed up in over a month, is there any other way?

Can I recover my junk folder and its contents after I inadvertently deleted the folder, and then empties my trash?

I inadvertently deleted my entire junk folder which contained some valuable messages. I then right clicked and deleted my trash. Can this junk folder or its messages be recovered?

If your mail server has a browser interface (webmail access such as mail.google.com), do the messages show up there? Otherwise, there is probably nothing left to do.

How can I get my desktop page to open when I close the browser and then re open it?

when I click the red x to close the browser, when I come back to open the browser later, the last page I was viewing. last session opens, even all other tabs behind it, instead of my google page (my home page)? can this be fixed) I know I can just click the google word in the search bar, but should not have to do this!

Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of clicking the button save I clicked the delete button at the end. Is there any way to recover it?

Hi, I would like to know how can I recover a document from pages that I didn't save anytime and instead of saving the doc I clicked the delete button. Is there any way to recover it?

Regardless of application, the first step that I take is to save and name the current document — even if it has no content yet. With Pages, this good habit enables autosave. As you add content, your document revision history is restorable via the File Revert To menu. The delete key has the same document foreboding as only teaching a pet raven to speak "Nevermore."

Delete the cookie and cache of any website you visited that you are uncertain about. That's in your browser preferences. What Mac operating system and browser are we talking about?
Did you attempt to download any software from the website, or just visit the link on the e-mail? Or did you attempt to open an attachment on the e-mail?

No; they will not downgrade that device, and it’s highly unlikely that they have the same iPhone model running an older iOS version.

Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and reinstalled mac os x?

Can i recover photo files lost when i wiped out my hard-drive and reinstalled mac os x? I know that when a computer is wiped cleaned that the info is still on the hard drive, how do I access it? Can I pay someone to access it? Long story short, everything was saved to my external hard drive except my photos, by mistake of course.

You have to stop using the drive immediately. Completely stop. Do not boot the computer from the drive.
File recovery software: Try using an application such as Data Rescue 3 - http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php or FileSalvage - http://subrosasoft.com, or one of the ones listed in the (old) link below. Some have free trial versions that let you see if the software will help before you decide to buy. You will also need a second hard drive equal to or larger in size than your first drive as a destination drive for recovered files.

It is critical that you do not use the computer or even turn it on until you have rescued your files. Files only have the directory reference to them removed when you empty the trash or otherwise delete them from a computer (unless you use secure erase, in which case they are gone forever or can only be potentially be recovered by very expensive means) and are still present on the computer. However, their space is marked as available to any other file creation done on the computer (even done by you booting the computer) and there is risk that your files will be overwritten by the computer.
Even if the above works, do not expect the results to be pretty or even 100% successful. Files will often lose their names and you will have to re-name them one by one.

HT201272 How can I recover a purchased app on one itouch (which has since died) and put it on my new itouch device if I haven't syncronised my old device with my mac/itunes account before it died?

It is easy to download items you have purchased from iTunes again; this article will walk you through it: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2519
You want the "Apps on iOS" section.

I have iBooks 2.1 on ipad. I changed my password and can no longer update the app. If I delete the app and install the updated version, will I lose the books I have purchased?

I have iBooks 2.1 on ipad. I changed my password and can no longer update the app. If I delete the app and install the updated version, will I lose the books I have purchased?

Try logging out of your account on the iPad by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Stores and then log back in and see if you can then update the app.
If you do delete the app then you should be able to re-download your ibook purchases via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the app. But in case some of them are no longer available in the store and/or you have PDFs or epubs in it, then you could first connect it to your computer's iTunes and do File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) which should copy them over to the Books part of your iTunes library so that you have your own copy of them and can sync them back (even though they aren't iTunes purchases it should also copy over any PDFs or epubs that you have in the iBooks app)
