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 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.

  • 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
    http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
    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.
    You can make Firefox 4.0.1 look like Firefox 3.6.17, see numbered items 1-10 in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 look like 3.6)]

  • How can i revert back to an earlier version of Firefox? I have had nothing but slow, slow loading eversince I upgraded to4.01.1. I hate this version of Firefox. I hate the toolbar, it's a horrible colour and I can hardly read it.

    Ever since I upgraded my Firefox to 4.01.1, everthing loads much, much slower.......I can go make a coffee while the page loads. Sometimes, it is soooooooooo slow, that it times out and I have to start all over again. Even when I sign on and load google, sometimes it takes forever.
    I also do not like the toolbar at the top. It's grey and hard to read, what is wrong with white?
    Can I revert back to the earlier version of Firefox? It worked much better. I use ancestry.com a lot and they even recommend a 3.??? version of Firefox.
    Anything is better, so I don't have to sit and wait and wait and wait.

    Thank you, Zenos. I tried rolling back to v31.2.0, since I had not encountered problems prior to December. However, that didn't help. So I followed your valuable suggestion to revert to v24.6; that seems to have done the trick.
    I would like to mark this problem as "Solved" -- the rollback seems to have worked. However, since my original post was a complex mix of things, before I do that, should I post the individual problem sets that I had noted (address fields/nicknames problems -- numbers 1-3; default font problem -- number 4; attachment reminder problem -- number 5) as separate issues which have not been solved?
    Do you know if these various issues are being worked on? I'm glad to have the temporary fix of rolling back to an earlier version, but I'd like to get back on the current update schedule at some point if and when these problems have been corrected.
    Thank you again!

  • I'm having trouble trying to upgrade to verison 4.0. How can I revert back to the latest version of Firefox 3.6?

    I deleted the latest version of Firefox 3.6 in order to try to download Firefox version 4.0. The download of version 4.0 was unsuccessful, probably because I have an old iBook G4 (10.4.11). How can I reinstall/download the most recent version of Firefox 3.6?

    For older Macs that aren't supported in Firefox 4.0, try TenFourFox for PowerPC's running Mac 10.4.11 & 10.5.8 . <br />

    You can get Firefox 3.6.16 here: <br />

  • How can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes?

    I installed the newest version and it took EVERYTHING off my hard drive. A lot of it is crap I don't want on there. Can I revert back to an earlier version of Itunes that only has whats on my Ipod? I tried system restore and had no luck. Thanks

    A couple of posts of mine that may help you;

    If your disk was wiped, presumable you will not need to worry about the library as a new blank library will be created.

  • 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 back to my old version of FF after updating to 15.0?

    FF kept urging me to update to version 15.0, but I resisted because doing so would disable some key aps, the major one being my password and security ap, Abine where all my passwords are stored.
    When I started the computer this morning, FF version 15 was on my computer and Abine no longer works. I did not give FF permission to do the upgrade, but that's not the problem now.
    How can I get back to the previous version of FF (14.01)? I have an iMac and have it backed up with time Machine.

    A new Abine release compatible with FF15 is on addons.mozilla.org now.
    I restarted my computer and Abine was working. If not, go to tools, add-ons, and update. I'm not a tech person, so I hope one of these works for you.

  • 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!
