How do I retrieve a file typed on iCloud online (Pre iCloud Drive) once I have upgraded to iCloud Drive?

Hello all,
My friend has typed his essay on iWork for iCloud on a PC, and then he upgraded his account to iCloud Drive, and he has no access to his essay anymore since it says that because you're account is upgraded you cannot access your files on iWork for iCloud until later this fall. Apparently it hasn't synced to any of his iOS 7 devices, is there any way to retrieve it? He has a Mac also running 10.10 Yosemite, and an iPhone running iOS 8.
If you have any ideas, please don't hesitate to reply as his essay is due soon.
Thanks,
Chro

Your friend is using unfinished, beta Apple software (including iCloud Drive). We cannot discuss beta Apple software here due to requirements of that beta software agreement, and the terms of use for this open Apple Support Community. There are specific non-public forums explicitly for Yosemite and/or IOS 8 beta programs. Use those.
No one in their right mind would attempt to depend on any beta software solutions to create a critical document and expect to meet a due date. Too many people have been bitten when things get borked.

  • How do I retrieve a file from Trash using Time Machine in Mavericks?

    Is it even possible to retrieve a file from Trash from a Time Machine backup? Does Time Machine even back up the Trash? I've been told a total restore from a Time Machine backup will put the past Trash back on the Mac, but what if I just want to restore an individual file?
    Shortly after emptying my Trash on my Mac (10.9.4) for the first time in weeks, I realized I needed one of the files I'd just erased. Trying to retrieve with Time Machine was not fruitful, however, because I couldn't find the file on any of the past backups using the normal Enter Time Machine interface. However, I know it would have been in the Trash during all of the most recent backups.
    So I researched how to find the backups of Trash with Time Machine, but I think all of the solutions I found on various online forums were pre-Mavericks and do not seem to work now. I've basically tried 2 things:
    Show Trash in Finder using the Terminal command: open ~/.Trash
    It shows the hidden Trash folder in Finder, located in Macintosh HD/Users/User. For easy access, I added the .Trash folder to the Finder Sidebar. But I can't get to it in the backups. The Trash shortcut in the Finder Sidebar is always grayed out in the old backups using the Time Machine app. And it does not show up in ~ when looking through the backups.backupdb folder on my external HD.
    I also tried the Terminal command to show all hidden files in Finder: defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles YES
    But while many hidden files do suddenly appear in Finder, curiously, the User's .Trash folder is not one. This is true for the Finder of the Mac, the backups.backupdb folder on the External HD, and Time Machine app.
    Thanks.

    How do I retrieve a file from my backup in Time Capsule?
    It depends on the type of file that you are trying to retreive.
    In general.....
    Open Time Machine by clicking on the clock icon on the dock
    Wait a few minutes for Time Machine to fully load
    Use the timeline at the far right of the window to go back in time to a date when the file was still on your Mac
    Click that date
    Navigate using the Finder interface to locate the file that you want
    Click on the file to highlight it
    Click Restore at the lower right of the window to be brought back to the present
    You have to retrieve other types of files differently. For details, see:

  • How can I retrieve desktop files being erased after updating my computer?

    How can I retrieve desktop files being erased after updating my computer?

    The easiest method would be to restore them from the last Time Machine backup made just prior to the update. 
    Or use a file recovery application to recovery them.  Most have a demo mode so you can determine if it can find the files you need before purchasing it.  Go to MacUpdate.com and do a search for "recover files" to get a list of potential candidates.

    Hello there,
    It sounds like you have a video file you exported from iMovie that you would like to import back into the program. Depending on the version of iMovie the process is a bit different so choose the correct article for your version:

    Or

    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Good luck and you are welcome.
    Like I said, I bought one of their inexpensive enclosures and now can use the hard drive just as a source for the files that are on it...my external drives are much larger and faster so I just plug that drive in when I need something from it.

  • How to restore/retrieve my files from external HD backed up by Time Machine

    I'm recently a victim of car theft and my MacBook Pro, iPad 2 and external hard drive was stolen from the car. A friend of mine is lending me his MacBook Air to temporary use until I get a new MBP. I use Time Machine and Time Capsule to do frequent back up of all my files. I am attempting to restore my files on this MacBook Air, but I need assistance in trying to retrieve files/information from the external hard drive that I have attached to my MacBook Pro. My previous research on Time Machine/Time Capsule is that it will also back up external hard drive as long as they are attached/mounted to my MacBook Pro during back-ups.
    How do I restore/retrieve the files or folders from my external hard drive using Migration Assistant. Do I need to get another external hard drive? Should I get the same exact brand and type of external hard drive?
    I hope that someone can help me with this? Like most of us, my entire life's work in on my computer and hard drive. I need to be able to retrieve this valuable information.
    Thank you everyone for taking the time to help m

    Sorry you had such an experience.. not the first I have heard..
    Having your entire life on the laptop is a concern!!
    The pondini knowledgebase will give you an excellent starting point. as recovery is not necessarily simple in this scenario.. as the external drive might or might not have been backed up depending on the settings..
    http://pondini.org/TM/FAQ.html
    Look at Q14-20
    Particularly 16 to restore to alternative location.
    You will probably need another disk, just because the disk in the air is small. It does not have to be the same size or model.. just get one big enough to restore everything.

  • How do I retrieve lost file?

    I have just opened a file from a UBSstick. Then I changed to a new file, but when i went back to the first file i had an error message. It said the first file did not exist, however it is listed on the files that has been opened. How do I retrieve it?

    This couldn't have happened on an iPad since it doesn't have a USB port. Are you using Mac or PC and Adobe Reader? This forum is for Reader on an iPad or iPhone.

  • How do I retrieve multiple files from my trashcan?

    I removed everything from my "finder" to my trashcan; I found that I had multiple duplicates in images, and I thought that was an easy way to get rid of them. But then my iPhoto started acting weird and when I contacted support, was told that I had to "put back" each file. There are roughly 17,000 images. I am overwhelmed to say the least. Suggestions? I tried highlighting several at a time, but that doesn't work.

    Yes, but it puts the files into a .zip file that is "corrupted, encrypted, empty or in an incompatible format".

  • Please help me, I mistakenly deleted a file.  How can I retrieve my file?

    PLease help me retrieve my file.  I was rearranging some docs into sub-files and mistakenly deleted the main file, thinking the sub-files would still be there and they are all gone.  Lots and lots of docs.  PLEASE HELP ME,!!!  The File name was "Cardis, Jackets, Ponchos& Tops Patterns.  I was using the new Adobe Acrobat Reader.

    I don't believe you can if the only copy is on your iPad.
    You must make backups of files which you have on your mobile devices. Then restore from the backup. Backups could easily made by uploading them to Document Cloud, or backing up to another device.

  • Scc question: how can I retrieve all files in 6.1?

    hello
    I have recently upgraded from LV5.1 to 6.1.. In 5.1
    it was possible to retrieve all files of a project
    with scc. When I try to do that in 6.1 (scc provider, select changed files, get latest version..) LV searches
    always in the local work directory for the vi's, but they don't exist, so I have to press "cancel" all the
    time.
    Is there an easier way to retrieve all files of a project at once???
    thanks

    NI support has sent me this VI, replace the original
    VI and it works..
