Finding an older version of a document

Hi...is there any way to find a previous version of a saved document if you have changed it and saved and didn't mean to?
If so, can someone help me figure out how to do this? thanks!
P.S. not sure of the exact version of the OS...I know it is OSx something.

As eww mentioned if you did a save as but used the older documents name then the old document is gone unless you have it in Time Machine. Then it's a simple matter of locating where it's at in Finder, opening Time Machine and restoring the copy you want. If you haven't made any changes to Time Machine and leave the external HD connected to your computer it backs up every hour. If you never set up Time Machine then the document is history. If that's the case set up Time Machine so this doesn't happen to you again. Here is a tutorial on TM:

I just wrote over a pages document by mistake and then saved it, can I find the older version somewhere?

I just wrote over a pages document and saved it by mistake, can I find the older version of the document?

What exactly do you mean when you say "You Wrote Over a Pages Document"?
Did you highlight the text in the document and then start typing?
Did you use some type of Insert function to erase the text already in the document as you type the new text?
If you dodn't do either of those things more then likely all the text that was original in that document is still there, just on another page.
If you did do one of the above it is gone, Bye Bye, See you later.

Content Type of Older Versions of the Documents

Hi,
Trying to find the Content Type of a Older version of a document using powershell.
We are trying to delete a Content Type from SharePoint Library from the UI and keep getting the error "Content Type Is Still In Use", have gone through many posts and checked everything like, Checked Out Items, Recycle Bins (User, Site Collection,...),
the only thing we couldn't verify is if this content type is used by older versions of the documents as this library has versioning enabled. (#2, from
http://hristopavlov.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/content-type-is-still-in-use/).

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to check if the content type is used by older versions of the documents.
You can check the usage of the content type using PowerShell like below:
$ct = $web.ContentTypes[$contentType]
$ctusage = [Microsoft.SharePoint.SPContentTypeUsage]::GetUsages($ct)
More information about how to check if content type is in use, please refer to:

How do I download the previous version of Firefox (3) as my system won't support Firefox 4 (can't find the older versions archives anywhere on your site).

I already had Firefox version 2 on my mac (OS 10.4) and tried to upgrade to version 4. Couldn't find any details on system requirements, so just went ahead and tried to download latest version. By the time the process informed me that it wouldn't work on my system, the old version 2 had somehow been deleted. Now I have no Firefox browser at all and cannot find any older versions archived.

I think you can run version 3.6:

I just read today about a separately maintained, unofficial version of Firefox for 10.4 users called TenFourFox. They are somehow repackaging the latest Firefox to work on 10.4 (''on non-Intel Macs''). You might want to research it and see whether it makes sense for you: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

How Do We Find the Latest Version of a Document without its Path?

Does anyone know how to find the latest version of a document in iFS when you don't know the path of the document? I'm using a Selector to search iFS based on a search string for the object's title and am not sure how to find the latest version of the returned documents.
Thanks for any help.

If you can use the Selector to get the public object then you are in good shape. Once you have the public object recast it to a Family. The method getLatestVersion() will return the public object of the latest version.

How do I find and older version of instagram for iOS 6.1.6

How do I find and older version of instagram for 4th generation touch iOS 6.1.6?

In iTunes on your computer, download the App you want a compatible version for using the same Apple Id that the iPod has for the App Store. For Paid Apps its best to consult with the App maker to make sure there is a compatible App. With the App Downloaded to iTunes on a computer you can go into The App Store App on your iPod, Tap on Purchased, and Look for the App there. Tap on it to begin the download. It will likely say its not compatible, but if there is a compatible version it will offer to download it.

I have an iPad1 which I have reset and am preparing to give to a kid. I now find that I can't reinstall many apps as they now seem to require IOS 6 or greater. This is IOS 5 and can't be upgraded. Is there a way to find the older versions of the apps?

One of these links may help:

How do I fix a word doc. that turned to asterisks? Or find an earlier version of the document?

I was typing a paper and the entire doc. turned to asterisks. Then I panicked and hit save thinking that would be beneficial. Now I only have a doc. with symbols. Is there a way to find an earlier version of the paper? I have saved it at least a dozen times before the doc. turned to ***

Have you considered this ... since you suspect there may be old garbage in the file?
Try creating a brand new document in Word. Then try copying and pasting the old document into the new one. You may choose to do this in sections, or a few pages at a time.

Where can I find an older version of Firefox that supports Proxy Mobile- and yes, gain access to Tor. Orweb is just kind of, meh

The Guardian Project recommends using Orweb or Firefox with Orbot when using Tor,but your upgrade will no longer install Proxy Mobile- I need an older version of Firefox Mobile that supports Proxy Mobile.

Finding a particular version of a document

Hi,
Today I intended to use a particular Numbers document that I update a few times a month. I had no luck finding the current version. The best I could do was a version several months old. I thought that perhaps I had been mistakenly saving the document to a slightly different filename, so I searched on content. Still couldn't locate the current edition using Time Machine.
Another thought is that perhaps I've been inadvertently saving to an external HD that isn't backed-up by TM. So far no success using finder on that external drive either.
Any general comments on search technique would be appreciated, particularly if there's a Numbers-specific issue that I'm not aware of. I do know the date of a version earlier this month, based on creation dates of PDFs that I always save as I update this Numbers file, but I'm not sure how knowing that will help. Looking in TM on dates near that time hasn't revealed anything.
Thanks,
Jerry

Are you using approvals? Is it possible that your user (or someone else) promoted his Planning Unit, thus removing his ability to edit the data?
Can your user edit the data using an ad-hoc Planning connection (not form) in Smart View?

Where do i find the older versions of ibooks for the iPad Gen1 new versions cannot work

Where can i find older versions of iBooks for the Gen1 iPad the newer versions require an OS upgrade Gen 1 cannot support?

Try downloading them with iTunes on your computer. Then go to the store on your iPad and, if the developer supports it, you should see a link to legacy versions.
Good luck.

DOes anyone know a workaround?

The iPad 2 can indeed be upgraded to iOS 7.
The iPad 1 can't.

HT204266 How do I find an older version of an app?

Because I have an older iPad that I just inherited, I can't run important apps now that the new iOS update has come out. Does anyone know if there is a way to get older versions of the apps from apple? I have already checked with the developers, who say that apple should offer an older and compatible version of their app. But, when I got to download them I just get the message that I need to update to ios 6.1.1.

If an older version is not in Apple's Itunes store, you can't get it.
 Cheers, Tom
