Help, pages lost

So I've been working on a really important personal statement, deadline next friday. I was stuck in a total slump but today I sat down and typed my essay.
As I was finishing up I went to double check the website to make sure I had cohered to the guidelines (I had been going between pages and google every now and then throughout the day) when I went back to the essay pages was simply not open anymore. No error message, no crash, no save as pop up nothing! I clicked on the original pages doc on my desktop where I had saved the orginal file I started weeks ago and my latest work that i's been doing all day was gone! It was just the original meager 400 odd words from weeks before.
So after crying for a good 20 minutes I tried searching spotlight, checking autosave folder, Of course I don't have time capsule on as that would be far to convenient. Is my essay gone? I'm seriously trying to remember everything I wrote but my short term memory is crap and i'm so upset I just cant think. I've never had issues with pages before I use it all the time for job aplications so on. Tried to get help from apple but to even talk to anyone It's a. not the right time and b. they might try charge me over £30 because i'm out of warranty. It's ridiculous and completly unhelpful!
Any help, advice would be appreciated, I'm really at a loss and really upset.

I'm on Mac OS X 10.6.8 and it's Pages '09 version 4.1
I guess I'm so used to things autosaving on mac that I stupidly forgot to save as I went
and typically that's when things go wrong.
I've searched the apparently file that keeps saves in 'autosave information' but that's empty.

  • Lost all bookmarks after upgrading to FF4 and help page solutions no help

    Upgraded to FF4. All was well for the first few days then all of a sudden my bookmarks were gone. I've been through all the topics on the help page and still cannot access any bookmarks or even add new bookmarks. Bookmarks is just totally disabled. Went back to IE but hate how slow it is. I just want to be able to create new bookmarks if I can't find my old ones.

    See my solution at http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=11757732#11757732
    It's pretty much guaranteed to work if it's at all possible to recover your contacts, although other simpler solutions may work too and some are discussed there.

  • In synk, when I click "add device" instead of opening a window to enter the codes, it opens another firefox window and takes me to the help page for synk. [SOLVED]

    I got a new laptop today and after downloading firefox I tried to use the synk feature and it says I have to add device on my old computer. In following the directions I never get to the screen to enter the codes from my new computer onto the old one. When I click add device on the old computer it takes me to the help page on the web with the same directions that took me there in the first place! So, how am I supposed to synk my new computer if I can't add device on the old or simply log in to my synk account on the new?

    Ok, I figured it out, I clicked "i don't have device available" and it let me log in to my account.

  • Why selecting text and hitting F1 doesn't go to specific help page anymore?

    Hi. Up until a while ago I was able to, while working on some code,  select a particular actionscript component such as a Class, function or  property and hit the F1 key which would immediately bring up Adobe Help  in my internet browser already showing the page relevant to my  selection. For example, if I had selected the word "MovieClip" in my  code and hit F1, the Adobe Help page describing the MovieClip class  would come up, without me having to navigate to it.
    Now (for some weeks actually), it no longer does that. When I hit F1,  Adobe Help comes up in my browser, but opens at a general menu page  regardless of what text I select, which in fact makes selecting text  before hitting F1 redundant anyways.
    Does anyone know anything about this?
    It was so much more convenient before! Now I have to search for what I'm  looking for every time. I'm learning on my own, so I find myself going  to the Help pages quite often. At the end of the day, it sums up to be a  lot of typing and searching and pages to navigate through. Also, it  seems that navigating through the Adobe Help pages is kind of slow which  just makes it even more of a drag.
    I'd appreciate any information on this, or possibly some help in how to get things back to how they were.
    Thanks!

  • Firefox cannot load pages that other browsers can, but the 'help' page for this issue did not fix the problem.

    I am troubleshooting an issue occurring on a family member's pc. Immediately after changing their "search" settings from "Yahoo search" to "Google search", they found that Firefox was unable to load any webpages. After troubleshooting the problem, I found the "Firefox can't load websites but other browsers can" help page, and attempted each of the solutions listed. None of those solutions fixed the issue. Also, I uninstalled and re-installed Firefox; the issue persists. However, the 'new' version of Firefox remembered the tabs left open when the 'old' version was deleted, so some temporary files likely persisted.
    Are there any other steps that can be taken, or is Firefox on this computer no longer an option?

    Start with this;
    Type '''about:preferences#advanced'''<Enter> in the address bar.
    Under '''Advanced,''' Select '''Network.'''
    Look for '''Configure How Firefox Connects''' and press the '''Settings''' button.
    Check the settings.
    Some problems occurs when your Internet security program was set
    to trust the previous version of Firefox, but no longer recognizes your
    updated version as trusted. Now how to fix the problem: To allow
    Firefox to connect to the Internet again;
    * Make sure your Internet security software is up-to-date (i.e. you are running the latest version).
    * Remove Firefox from your program's list of trusted or recognized programs. For detailed instructions, see
    '''[https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/configure-firewalls-so-firefox-can-access-internet Configure firewalls so that Firefox can access the Internet.]''' {web link}
    If there is still a problem, go to that computer and do this;
    Type '''about:support''' in the address bar and press '''Enter.'''
    Under the main banner, press the button; '''Copy Text To Clipboard.'''.
    Then in the reply box at the bottom of this page,
    do a right click in the box and select '''Paste.'''
    This will show us your system details.

  • I open my email from frontiernet (a local provider) I can read the email but when I go to reply or forward I get a Skype help page then a blank page. Therefore I can't reply or forward email.

    I log-in to webmail. frontier.com and go to my inbox. I have no trouble reading my email but I cannot reply or forward. When I try to do either I get a screen that first has a Skype help page then goes blank. It says done on the bottom but there is no reply box to type in. I've never had this problem before and I've been doing this for almost 2 years on may computers. The only thing different is I had some work done and had to re-install Firefox. Could a newer version cause the problem? I do not have this problem when I use IE or am on a different computer.This was happening even before I installed Skype.

    Disable the Skype extension for Firefox - both versions if you really have two versions installed.

  • Firefox won't open, says profile may be missing or inaccessable, help pages not helpful

    Firefox won't open at all. I get a "Profile Missing" window saying "it may be missing or inaccessable". This morning my connection quit mid-reset while it said it was going through everything and not to turn it off, since then it refuses to open. I tried everything I could think of. Tonight I managed to open an ancient IE and am here now, tried as much of the "Help Pages" suggestions as the site sent me to (none were what my computer has even though I'm running XP), but nothing fixed the problem. I removed Firefox and then re-installed, twice, it still won't open.
    HELP!

    I can find NO "profiles.ini" file anywhere. When I open the "default library" there are none of the files you say should be there.
    I have tried a whole new download to update, it won't open because there is no profile.
    I tried removing the program and re-downloading, still won't open.
    I am not tech savvy enough to do much of the messing around you are suggesting. I need someone to help!
    Also - this site is about the least "user friendly" site I've had to deal with in ages!
    I should have been able to reply to the email, but you didn't allow that, too.
    I need someone to somehow walk me through what to do. HELP!

  • Firefox 23.0.1 crashes every time I try to access any Mozilla help page or forum, and sometimes on other pages Win 7 pro 64 bit

    Running Windows 7 Pro 64 bit and Firefox has crashed at least a couple dozen times today and nearly as many yesterday. I've tried all of the suggested "fixes", to no avail. I just tried the Windows compatibility tool mentioned in one of the forum post and that didn't resolve the issue either. I'd love to add the links to my crash reports, but can not get to this page on the computer in question - any time I try to load any Firefox or Mozilla help page, forum, etc. in that computer, Firefox crashes (even when running Firefox in Safe Mode). Firefox also crashes on miscellaneous other pages now and then. Thanks in advance for any help anyone can provide!
    In case it's helpful, below are the crash ID's for the four most recent crashes:
    Crash ID: bp-cb4e51b6-4459-4f60-bc77-39f6f2130820

    Crash ID: bp-275d980a-043a-48cc-9399-bcb532130820
    I'm not sure how to get the
    troubleshooting info from the computer in question into this form. I have saved the page to a file on my network, but when I try to paste the contents in the box below, most of the info is missing.

    The CrashIDs are what is needed. Do not attempt to attach or paste the reports.
    #Run Firefox in safe mode does that prevent crashes ?<br/>[[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]]

    So you are saying it works ok as long as you avoid certain pages such as this Forum. That makes me wonder if it could be malware that is blocking access to assistance.Run malwarescans with multipe and up-to-date tools.

  • How do I print from a Help page?

    Hi all.
    A newbie here.
    Quite regularly I find the need to use the help function on my OS 10.5.5 Mac and at times the help information is of considerable length, too long to write out long hand.
    My question, how can I get the printer to print from an open help page?
    I have clicked on all the tabs at the top of the page but no joy.
    In Windows I can just click Control and P at the same time and I get a print, but this does not appear to work with the Mac system, so how do I print?

    Thanks guys.
    The "Gear" method appears to be the simplest.
    I could have sworn that I checked EVERY tab and menu looking for a print option. I am damned if I know how I missed that one.
    It's a good thing I have you guys to help me out.
    Thanks to all.
    Regards

  • IPod not recognized (but with other symptoms than on the help pages)

    Hey people,
    My iPod is not recognized by windows (vista). I did take a look on the help pages, but nothing helps.
    When I connect my iPod, after a minute or so I get a message from windows saying "Do you want to check and repair the IPOD OF JASPER?" (sorry for the translation, I actually get the message in dutch). Then I can choose of two options, yes or no...
    When I click yes, it gives an error 'Could not be completed because the disk is not ready.'.
    When I click no, I get a message from iTunes saying 'iPod could net be recognized, please disconnect and try again.'
    Yesterday, it did show up in iTunes, but then iTunes immediately froze and my explorer (taskbar/windows explorer) too. I had to turn off the computer by pressing and holding the off/on button...
    What's even weirder; When I initially installed this iPod, it all worked. I put music on it, all fine. Then the second time i connected it, this things mentioned above happened. Then a few days ago, it suddenly connected in the right way. And now it isn't anymore....
    Anyone please help?!
    I hope this is not any of those stupid security things of vista....
    Greeting, Japzerr

  • No longer able to download pdfs, tried all the stuff on the help page, is this a result of the new version of Adobe Acrobat 10.1.3?

    Previously, I had no difficulty w/ downloading pdfs. Now all I get is a blank Firefox screen, with nothing else happening--no downloads window opening up like before, or anything else. I recently upgraded my Adobe Acrobat to 10.1.3, and I wonder whether this is related to that? Does FireFox not find the new Acrobat?
    I've gone through the things on the Firefox help page like changing download folder and renaming the whatever folder it was from what: rdp? to rdp.old. Does not effect problem.

    Thanks Matt. I finally seem to have got it working better now with having gone into the Preferences, Applications, and selected "USE Adobe Acrobat Pro (default)" It had somehow gotten switched to "USE Adobe Acrobat NPAPI plugin..."
    I admit to not knowing what I'm doing, but this switch seems to have made it workable again.
    Hope this maybe helps others...

  • I have inadvertently infringe copyright on facebook and they have subsequently barred me from uploading any more videos. The question I need answered is ( and not able to find the answer on any of you help pages).....  Do the following have free copyright

    I have inadvertently infringe copyright on facebook and they have subsequently barred me from uploading any more videos.
    The question I need answered is ( and not able to find the answer on any of you help pages).....
    Do the following have free copyright to publish on facebook and U Tube?
    1.Garage band sounds?
    2.Slide show...Sample music and Theme music?
    3.iMovie...iMovie sounds and iLife sounds ie.Medal Ceremony and Memorial etc?
    I note one can publish to shared net places directly from iMovie so one assumes these are copyright free for non-profit making and non-comercial use.
    It is impossible to contact apple direct.No email address.We put our selves at risk without this knowledge and like applemac, facebook will not communicate direct.Will applemac please take responsibility for copyright/the above that they are all too willing to sell to us but not support us with that knowledge.
    I have Mac OS X Snow Leopard version 10.6.2 (2009 bought in 2010)

    Thank you Klaus1.The large font, I copied and pasted from my mail box.I'm visually impaired...not to a huge degree but it helps to use the large font.I believe you are right about the copyright on the imac stuff but if facebook decide otherwise, you have to reply electronically to their challenge.If you can't provide a reference directly from the copyright owner then they remove the video.I believe this is a programmed response and no human is involved which now makes it impossible for me to get my video uploading restored.They detect added soundtrack automatically and then challenge.There are many others in the same boat and facebook will not communicate.They have various discussion sites on which I have left messages including Mark Zuckerbergs own facebook but I don't think anyone from facebook ever reads them.I intend to start a second facebook which I can use purely to get my videos uploaded as a lot of my friends enjoy them BUT don't want fall foul of their programming again.If only iMac would put something on the net to this effect.I think it is so unfair that with modern technology it is impossible to contact these large conglomerates personally and receive an email response.I tried emailing [email protected] but I got a failure notice.If you have any ideas on how to get verification from apple direct, I would be very grateful.Thank You.

  • How can I install Adobe flash player on my Mac using Safari OR Chrome? I have gone through every step on all of the help pages. The installation process always stops with the black box that briefly says, "Retrieving Install . . . ", then nothing.

    I have followed every step in the various help pages I was directed to when troubleshooting the inability to install Adobe Flash Player on my Mac using either Safari or Chrome. Everything has failed. I always get the black box that says briefly, "Retrieving instal. . . " and then goes blank. When I close that window, I get the message, "Adobe Flash Player could not be installed." Then it gives some links to follow for troubleshooting. I have followed ALL of the links there and on other help pages, to no avail. I've run into problems installing Adobe before, but it's never been this bad. Would someone please develop another format besides Adobe? Trying to get help from Adobe feels a little like trying to find a building in New York City with no map or GPS. The time required is voluminous, the emotional energy a/k/a frustration is overwhelming, and long before I get anything resolved, I wish the earth would open up and swallow all things Adobe@. Absence that miraculous intervention, I have to figure out what to do next. Does anyone know? Anyone?

    Same question, same answer: use the offline installer http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/flashplayer/latest/help/install_flash_player_osx.dmg
