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 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 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 do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes. Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking

    how do I revert back to previous (before 11) itunes.
    Someone nicked my Album Cover flow, without asking. I have snow leopard. I was happy. Just before Christmas as if I havent got enough to do Thank You. I've given Apple loads of money this year--presents and all, the least they could do is tell me, they're going to take stuff off of My computer that I enjoy,/ find very useful/ and worked hard to update all my album covers and have a gallery of my own artwork for my mixes--it was beautiful. When I went to add some more, the facility had been taken away from me. Was so dissapointed. They send me emails all the time to buy the latest must have products. I even did a questionair to help them. They really care for their customers--right. So why couldnt they warn me about this update, its only polite.
    If I bought a warm coat some years ago, then the manufatures came round without my knowledge and cut off the left arm, and later told me, their reserch says that people dont use the left arm so much so they have to get rid of it. 1. I think that would be illegal. 2. its impolite not to ask if they could do it. 3. why not give me an options to keep it, seeing as i bought it. 4. its ludicrous.
    I trusted Apple-but then -they took my YouTube off my ipad. I cant update to newer software as I will lose some expensive programms (Im not made of money). I also have 2 oldish defunct but fully working laser printers (if they were compatible with new software).
    Im not a techky-I just use the stuff, I do art and music and Cover Flow was equipement I used.
    I want to get rid of itunes 11, anyhelp out there

    click the blue download button...

    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.

  • Is there a way of reverting back to previous firefox version

    I use firefox extensively for development. I use firebug and dojo. It seems that the new version (Firefox 4) is far slower than the previous version and sometimes hangs completely. I believe this may be caused by Firebug doing a lot of work but it never used to happen. Also firebug doesn't quite seem to work as well with dojo script. Previously if you did a dojo.require to drag in a js script file then you could automatically see it through firebug. Now have to put files I want to debug with script tags. Is there a way of reverting back to previous firefox version?

    No need to re-install plugins or extensions.
    You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
    When you install the second version of Firefox use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
    In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for the second version of Firefox (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profile synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
    The following links show how to do this:
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
    * https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync (only needed for Firefox 3.6, it is built into Firefox 4)
    An alternative way of testing Firefox 4 is to install the portable version on your hard drive. It will use its own profile folder and not interfere with the other version of Firefox. You can get the portable version from http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable

  • I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking.  How do I revert back to an older version?

    I updated to the latest version of Safari now I cannot log into certain websites like my online banking.  Another reason I loved using this computer was autofill, now that does not work the same either, I have to respond twice to get my info to fill in.  I fill out many forms in a day and this change has been so bad that I have downloaded Mozilla Firefox to use instead.  I hope apple fixes these issues but until then how do I revert back to an older version of Safari?

    Quit Safari.
    Open Keychain Access   /Applications/Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left. Delete any keychains for sites you have problems logging into.
    Relaunch Safari. Go to Safari / Preferences - Autofill. Make sure all three boxes are selected.
    Now navigate to a site, login with your user name and password. You should be prompted to save that data to a new keychain. Click Yes.
    If you still have problems, go to ~/Library/Cookies. Move the Cookies.plist file to the Trash.
    ~ (Tilde) represents your Home folder.
    Try logging into a site again.

  • Hi there, how do you downgrade to a previous iTunes version on a Mac?

    Hi there, how do you downgrade to a previous iTunes version on a Mac?

    What exactly do we repair permissions of inn disk utility?
    OK. The easy explanation:
    Mac OS X is a UNIX based operating system and like all other UNIX operating systems, its usage is controlled by permissions. Which user has some, all or no permission to read, write to and otherwise modify files and folders. Applications also have or do not have certain permissions.
    In Mac OS X "Library" folder is a sub folder called "Receipts". When software is installed using Apple's Installer application it deposits a .pkg file in Receipts, containing information about the software and what it's permissions should be.
    If for some reason those permissions are corrupted or changed to something they should not be, using Disk Utility to repair permissions compares what the current permissions are with the information contained in the .pkg files. Should Disk Utility find differences, it uses the information to correct those permissions.
    Disk Utility does not repair permissions on applications that are installed via another routine, such as a custom installer or drag and drop. Neither does it repair permissions on any files or folders that you create.

  • Webclient does not open previous added versions of bqy documents

    We are running IR/ workspace 9.3.1.3.0401 on weblogic.We have an odd behaviour in opening previous added versions of bqy documents.
    case:
    import a bqy document.
    add another version of this document (make it obvious and simple only a dasboard with a "1" and "2" in a text label should be enough. for this test)
    open the bqy as/ with IR webclient. (make sure this action opens the last added version.
    till so far no problems
    the open the previous version (File> Open > Document> (open as interactive reporting web client/ Version (choos the first or previous version) )
    It does NOT open the previouws version but the last posted version.
    strange is it?
    I opened a case at Oracle for this.
    (trying the same document with ihtml does not give a problem., it shows whichever version you ask for)

    Oracle confirmed this is a bug.
