How can I revert to a previous saved file?

Hi,
I have been working on Word for Mac 2011 and have been saving continuously onto the same document as my work progresses. I always reference manually and somebody suggested I use footnotes to reference. This was too problematic as I needed to reference separately
at the end of three sections and footnotes was only allowing me one lot of references. So I copied and pasted my other two sections underneath the footnote referencing and Word must have assumed it was part of the footnotes because when I completed my
work and went back to re-reference each section manually and delete the old footnote references, I lost all my work done underneath the footnotes! Now, I hear you can "revert to previous saved file" or some other such thing to go back to a
previous save of the same document. Any help is greatly appreciated on how to do this!!
Thanks,
Ayema

If you haven't saved the document, pressing Command+Z will undo the paste.
If you have already saved the file then hopefully you have the option set in preferences to Always Create a Backup and in the folder where the original file is locate you will find a file name "Backup of..." the file name you are working on. This
will be a how the file looked prior to the last save.
If you don't have the Always Create a Backup option set, besides "Shame on You" then go to your Time Machine backup which should be no more than 1-hour old and you can get previous hours... assuming you have that function enable. If you don't then
again... Shame on You!
If you have neither of these built-in options set then I pray you are using my
GotUrBack application running, which will protect you with up to 9 levels of backup of your saved version of the file.

And if you don't have any of the above set or running then I'm sorry to have to say... you are out of luck and have a great deal of file recreation to do.

How can I revert to a previous saved version of a document?

I accidentally saved instead of saving as... and lost my original text.
I heard there is a way to get it back. I am not working on icloud, just on my local hard drive. Can anyone help?

Scroll through the dates on the far right, choose a date and Restore.
You might have to do it several times to find the actual version you're looking for.

HOw do i revert to a previously saved version of a document?

How do i revert to a previously saved version of a document? I have no idea how, but i closed and saved a document and the whole thing when reopened was blank (all 26 pages) apart from the last 4 pages id just added b4 saving. How do i get it back? Matter of life or death as hand in is tomorrow. thanks

Have you backed up the document? For example, by using Time Machine. If you have then just need to restore the document from an earlier date (ie the latest date before 26 pages were deleted).
If you haven't backed up the document then you're in trouble. The File > Revert to Saved menu command only undoes changes you made since the last time you saved your document. As you saved the document with the 26 pages missing, choosing Revert will not get the 26 pages back.

How Can I Revert To A Previous Version Of ITunes

How can I revert to a previous version of iTunes - v11.1.0.126 is terrible!

Hi there, I've seen this asked on these forums but haven't seen an answer... maybe there isn't one. I really need to revert back to an older version of iTunes from 11.1.0.126. The most recent version has so many problems (and no real improvement from the older version) that I've come to the conclusion rather than solving each of them one by one (and I've had no luck with any of that so far!), it would be easier to go back to the previous release. Is this possible?

Also, if I can do that without destroying my library and files, it would be great!!

How can I revert to a previous version and stop firefox from automatically updating?

I'd like to have the ability to deny an update, some kind of dialogue box. It just went to 9.0.1 with no approval whatsoever.
The reason why is that FF main appeal is the range of extensions, having over half of them non-functional because developers can't keep up with frequent Firefox updates is frustrating beyond compare.

Hi PJ99,
You should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]]. This will show you how to roll back to an older version.
If you want to turn off automatic updates, just take a look at [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/Updating%20Firefox#w_how-do-i-configure-update-options this article]. That will prevent Firefox from updating automatically.
Hopefully this helps!

Is it possible that auto complete and auto fill are no longer functioning? If so, how can I revert to my previous Firefox version that did offer these invaluable tools?

Believe my question says it all.

What leads you to believe that autocomplete is no longer working? What do you see, what did you expect to see. Try to avoid creating guessing games.
Do you have history going back for a long time, and from recent previous sessions. Check History ("Ctrl+Shift+H").
The Awesomebar is dependent of having history and bookmarks to work with

Everything encircled in blue would prevent the AwesomeBar (Location bar autocomplete) from working. Also make sure you are not clearing your "Form & Search History" for your second problem.
Make sure you are not in Private Browsing.

My Xerox Phaser 6120 is no longer compatible with Firefox. There is no new driver. How can I revert to a previous version so I can browse AND print?

For a few months, I have been unable to print from Firefox. I assumed it was a setting or something on my network, but today figured out it's my old printer driver that is no longer compatible. There is no new driver, nor will there be one. I love my printer, and do not want to buy a new one just to be able to use Firefox AND print. Switching back and forth between Firefox and Safari isn't an option. Any suggestions? Is there a way to regress my Firefox so it can work like it used to? Any workarounds? Thanks very much.

Also, if I can do that without destroying my library and files, it would be great!!

After updating to Firefox 5.0, my email/webmail account isn't working. How can I revert to the previous version of Firefox?

The email account that I am having trouble with is [email protected] I can't open any emails or perform any other function (purge, label, discard, view, etc) I can send an email though.

This might have been helpful if it was in English and not in German. . . at least it looks like German.

HT1750 i decide to upgrade to the OS X Mavericks not realizing I don't have enough hard disk space and now I cant do anything. How do I revert to the previous version to make more space on the HD?

I decided to upgrade to OS X Mavericks not realizing I don't have enough HD space. Now I cannot do anything with the upgrade. How can I revert to the previous OS X to free up more space on the HD?

You can't. It's already downloaded and filled the drive. The only option is to erase and reinstall.
You may be able to Target Disk Mode if you can connect the Mac to another with FireWire or Thunderbolt Cables (USB will not work and it cannot be connected to a windows PC)
Do you have a Time Machine Backup?
If not best option is getting it in somewhere where they can transfer the data you need off before Erase and Reinstalling OS.
Unless there is nothing on the Machine you need anymore that is, in which case you may be able to Erase in Recovery. It May not work though, if the Disk is too full.

Can I revert to the previous version on my iphone?

Hi :
I recently updated to the version 4 on my iphone 3GS phone and it has been **** since then!
How can I revert to the previous version and if so, is it worth it?
Thank you guys

Ok, I'll be more polite here since the powers that be deleted my rant about version 4.
What can cause issues for a 3g to not take the new software update? It forced me to restore my phone to factory defaults. After doing that for the 4th time in a month it's telling me that certain songs that previously worked are now corrupt and cannot load. It's also become quite the pain that the push notifications don't work. I've been told over the phone by tech support that most users don't use push because it decreases battery life. I need this feature. I'm an admin on a truck forum and need my notifications ASAP. Now I have to spend a few hours getting my POS back into working order. Any ideas? Oh, don't suggest a phone upgrade either. That's not gonna happen.

New songs are not showing up on the ipod display but when I view the device on my computer, they are in the playlist but there is a dashed circle beside the missing songs. It previously synced perfectly before the IOS update. How can i revert back to the previous installed version?

Downgrading the iOS is not supported by Apple.
