Can I retrieve a Page document I just closed without saving? (-:

If the OP's information is correct (Snow Leopard), there is no autosave.
Otherwise, the idea that you must save once before autosave kicks in seems to be one of those bits of misinformation that gets repeated so many times that everyone starts to believe it. I never used Lion or Yosemite, but certainly with Mountain Lion and Mavericks, autosave does save documents before they are saved to a real file. Since that is essential to the ability to restore open windows on relaunch, I am pretty sure it also applies to the systems that I haven't used.
I think the system may not keep versions until a document is explicitly saved.
Closing an unsaved document will discard the autosave information in any case, but, at least with the way I've had my preferences set, it does throw up a dialog asking you to confirm that you want to discard the data.

  • Can I get back a pages document which I closed before saving?

    can I get back a pages document which I closed before saving?

    The answer is no, even if you're using OS X Lion. (You don't mention what version of OS X or Pages you use.)
    OS X Lion and Pages 4.1 autosave documents, even unsaved documents. But if you close an unsaved document, click the Don't Save button, then this document no longer exists.
    Earlier versions of OS X and Pages do not autosave documents. So closing an unsaved document effectively deletes it.

  • How can I retrieve a Pages document from iCloud onto my iPhone?

    I create Pages documents on my computer, and then store them in iCloud Drive. (I don't use Pages for iCloud beta; I create them with Pages on my Mac, and then upload them to iCloud Drive.) I would like to be able to retrieve those documents on my iPhone. Is that possible? I think I have all the settings right in Settings: iCloud Drive is on. Within that, Pages is on. When I go to the Pages app on my phone, all I seem able to do is create documents (which then appear in iCloud in my Mac, which is good.) But I cannot get to the documents that I have stored in iCloud by using my computer. Maddeningly, I cannot seem to find an answer to this anywhere. Is it not possible to do what I want to do?
    Thank you very much.

    Yes it is possible -- but I don't have much help for why it isn't working for you. I just tried saving 2 documents from Pages version 5.5.1 on my Mac and was able to open the document from Pages on my iPhone. The only things I can think of is to insure both are using the same Apple ID and that when you save on the Mac your save dialog is set to save to Pages - iCloud or to iCloud Drive.

    You'll need to copy the Pages documents from the old iCloud account to the new one.  To do this, go to iCloud.com from your Mac and sign into the old account.  Launch Pages beta and confirm that your documents are still there.  Assuming they are, select them, then click the gear icon on the menu bar and choose Download Documents and choose the Pages format.  This will download copies of the documents to your Mac.  Drag the downloaded documents to your desktop and double-click on them to extract them from the .zip files.  Next, sign out on iCloud.com and sign back into your new iCloud account.  Launch Pages beta in the new account, then drag and drop the documents from your desktop to the Pages beta window to upload them to the new account.  You can now access the documents from devices signed into your new account.

  • How can I convert a Pages document into PDF or RTF?

    I have been asked to send a Pages document to PC users in RTF or PDF format.  How can I get my Pages document to convert into other formats for PC people?
    Is that what the export feature is supposed to do?  I just don't know how to sent my document via e-mail to non-Apple conputers!

    You didn’t indicate whether you are using Pages ’09 v4.+ or the latest Pages v5(.2) release. To send an email with either Word or PDF attachment from within Pages:
    Pages ’09 v4+
    Pages menubar > Share (category Send via Mail) > (select Word (.doc) or PDF). Mail will launch into a compose window with the document already attached.
    Pages v5+
    Pages toolbar > Share > Send a Copy > Email > (select Word (.doc/x) or PDF - best). Mail will behave as above.
    Note: Either version of Pages is not an MS Word clone and it must translate content into the Microsoft document architecture. If you must have maximum Word document accuracy, you will need Office for Mac 2011, and the associated MS Word application that produces native .docx format.
    Backup your work.

    How to retrieve deleted Pages document? Thanks.

    If you have a Mac that is signed into your account and you are using Time Machine to back up your Mac, you can recover the deleted document using Time Machine.  Otherwise, without a backup souce there is no way to recover it.

    i can´t open any page document. Please help

    You do need to give more information. What version of Pages, what version of OS X, have you ever been able to open Pages documents, have you made any changes to your Mac? Please be specific with versions, don't just say "I have the latest." Our crystal balls don't work over the internet.

  • Can you open with Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft word for Mac?

    Can you open in Pages documents that were created in a 2004 version of Microsoft Word for Mac?

    Pages '09 will open .doc files from Word 2004. The Mac OS is not what is in question. Pages '09 opens Word 2004 documents and if the same version of Pages will run in Lion and in Mountain Lion ..... Thats all that matters.
    I trust you were using MS Office 2004 and would now like to buy Pages?

  • How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    How can I have a Pages document that is shared with me under my Pages section and not open it with the link?

    Try this.
    Open the document and select and copy a few pages, say ten pages.
    Open a new blank document and paste the pages you copied into that.
    Save it with a new name.
    Work on those new pages to see if the problem has disappeared.
    If this helps, continue breaking up the large file in to smaller chunks and working on them
    You can of course later reverse the process and merge the files into one new one.
    This suggestion is based on my experiences with large Word files. Breaking it up in to smaller chunks does two things. First, if there is any corruption in the old file, the new copies might escape that. Second, the Mac is faster handling the smaller chunks.

  • I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    I need to install iWork 09 so I can open the many pages document files that will NOT open under the new pages 5. Mavericks will not accept an install from my iWork's 09 CD. How do I get around this?

    Hi, I'm helping StringSinger2 with this problem.
    The previously installed version is Pages 3.0.3 (the same as from iWork 08). This version (Pages 3.0.3/iWork 08) is incompatible with Pages 5.
    That is why it would be helpful to install iWork 09, which is the version between the two. It will open the older 08 files, and its saved files are readable by the new Pages5.
    SO...
    When I try to install iWorks 09 from my retail DVD the error message is "the installer is damaged". (I know the dvd is good, I installed iWorks09 to my laptop today.) Is the "installer" part of the system files? And - If that is damaged is there a patch for that?
    Many Thanks!

  • Can I add a Pages document to an iPhoto journal?

    I have created an iPhoto journal from photos taken at my high school graduation. Can I add a Pages document listing our deceased classmates to this journal?

    I see your question has remained unanswered for a while now. I suggest you experiment around with copy/paste to see how text from the Pages app might work on a journal. Please report back with how you make out.

  • I can't open a pages document.

    I can't open a pages document. It says I need a new version of pages. I searched for upgrades but can't find any. Am I being forced to re-buy the program in order to access my documents? I looked into upgrading operating system, but Mavericks says I can't - my machine is too old? Seriously? It is starting to look like upgrades are breaking what otherwise worked fine, then charging to upgrade to make it work?

    Pages 5 requires Mavericks.
    If you can't upgrade to Mavericks you will need to Export your Pages 5 file to Pages '09 or Word .doc/x format then open it with whatever Pages version you have (you didn't say).
    You can open Pages 5 files inside Safari using iWork for iCloud beta and Send a Copy in Word format to yourself.
