I accidentally clicked don't save and lost all my changes
I accidentally clicked don't save on a pages doc and lost all changes... Everything I know says "tough luck", but I am helping a despondant colleague and thought I'd try the experts... thanks!
Tough luck is it I'm afraid.
Install ForeverSaveLite (free) on your Mac to prevent this in the future.

A tech rebuilt my iphoto thumbnail cache and afterwards all the changes and editing of all my 4000 photos was gone!
Every phot had reverted back to the original!!!!! WHAT HAPPENED???? Why were all my changes destroyed? Where are the photos that I edited?
Also a bunch of photos disappeared. HELP!!!!!Of course there is no reason that rebuilding a thumbnail cache would cause a loss of all editing of my photos!!! But that's what happened.
I was there when the tech rebuilt the library and thumbnails. He held down shift & command and opened Iphoto and a window appeared with "Rebuild Photo Library" with 6 boxes to check such as
1) Repair Iphoto Library Database
2) Rebuild Iphoto Library Database from automatic backup
3) Rebuild the photos' small thumbnails
4) Rebuild all the photos'thumbnails (this may take a while)
5) Recover orphaned photos in the Iphoto Library Folder
6) Examine and repair IPhotoLibrary file permissions
The tech checked all boxes and after Iphoto has rebuilt everything all my editing was gone and all my photos had reverted back to their originals representing 5 years work.

Hi!
I was trying to sync my music from my Macbook to my iPhone 5 and accidentally restored the phone to some previous version that I had. In the process, I managed to lose all of my pictures, contacts, text messages, etc. I need some of that back. My computer seems to have the .ap files, but I cannot open them. Is there any way to get my pictures back at the very least?
ThanksThe last backup I have is not recent enough to get my pictures back. Is there a way to get the pictures without using backup or iCloud?
-
please someone help me!
You need to check if a back up was made of your new phone when the content that has now gone missing was on their.
Also if you used iCloud you could check if there was a back up made on there and it should have pictures from camera roll if they were on there when the back up was made. Also you could check photostream if you used it and see if the photos are on there aswel.
hope this helps -
When I connected my phone to my computer I accidentally clicked "don't trust" and now I can't change the setting to allow my phone to "trust" my computer even though it has trusted it before I downloaded the new update. What do I need to do to be able to connect my phone to my computer again?
Ok, this just happened to me and none of the above seemed to work. But, I have found a solution that worked for me:
go to settings > general > reset > then click 'reset all settings' (only click if you happy to reset all settings)
Obviously, this will reset all your settings but not lose content.
My iphone 5S was attached to the computer and itunes throughout this process .... it will power down, restart and you will notice the sync icon start to whirr!
Obviously once redone you will have to reset security thumb/passcode - but your sync should now be working!!! -
I accidentally clicked 'don't trust my computer' on my iphone 5, it was a total accident as I wanted to click'trust my computer'. What can I do 2 gt tht message pop up back? I tried resetting my phone n turning it on and off. My PC is windows7. Please help mee people n apple . Thanks
Hi Rebekah...
This problem seemed to have worked itself out... Somewhere amongst these solutions...
1. Reinstall iTunes
2. Restart computer
3. Restart iDevice
It didn't at first, and I thought to myself... "Oh great, another problem which Apple doesn't acknowledge as existing", but don't worry. Give it a couple of restarts, and if all else fails... Create a new Windows Logon and try from there.
It just happens I was in the middle of reformatting my PC and resinstalling Windows 7, so it wasn't so much an issue when I wiped as it worked when I tried it on a fresh system.
Hope something helps... -
In Illustrator, I have a saved artwork, then I'm saving a copy as PDF, as usual.
After I keep the AI file open, making some modifications which I don't want to save, so I close the file and click "Don't Save".
Even though I clicked that, the file's modification time is changing.
(The modifications I made are not there, so it's not really saving but why the date is changing then?)
Please find the cause of it! Thank you!All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

i synced my iphone 5 with my computer and save all the photos to my phone through itunes. i restored my mac and lost all my photos on the mac but i still have them on my phone. how do i get them on my new mac now?

Be careful, when you connect the iPhone to your mac, unless you have saved the photos. Synced photos may easily be accidentally deleted by syncing again. And do not enable iCloud Photo Library (Beta), that will erase synced photos as well. Synced Photos are not included in the device backups.
Set your iTunes Preferences to "Devices > Prevent iPos, iPhones, iPads from syncing automatically". Otherwise iTunes may launch and sync your iPhone with an empty iPhoto library the moment you connect it.
Unfortunately, it is not possible to sync the synced photos back. Apple recommends to mail them back, but that would be a lot of clicking (iTunes: Syncing photos - Apple Support). You could also share them to a Shared Album, but a third party app like TD recommended, will be better. -
Like an idiot, I closed Numbers, and when it asked if I wanted to save "Untitled 1", I clicked "Don't Save". As my mouse button released, I realized what I had done. Lost a fair bit of work.
Anyone know whether there might be temporary work files or backups anywhere? I read somewhere that TEMP_com.apple.iWork.Numbers files are stored, but can't find any of those. Also nothing promising in my Trash either.
Any help would be very much appreciatedAlan Armstrong3 wrote:

I never met such a file and would be very surprised if such a file was created.
I watched the folder used by the system for temporary items and saw nothing appearing in it.
What is created for a feww time is the file Index.xml which is packed in Index.xml.gz
To get rid of this odd action in the future, Install my autosave tool available in my idisk:
<http://idisk.mac.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
Download autoSave_iWork.zip
Unpack it , double click onto "autosave4iWork.applescript" then read and apply the given explanations.
Every ten minutes iWork's documents would be automatically saved and, if a document is open and never saved before, you will be asked where you want to save it.

I accidentally restored my iphone as my ipod and lost all my information. Is there anyway i can get it all back?
I don't think so. You should post your question with an informative title, not just "HELP". You may get better replies. Try this "iPhone Accidentally Restored as iPod - Data Lost"

I upgraded to 5.01 and lost all my CD music files. Worse, I have had to change my computer and while I can see a list of files in Itunes on the new machine I cannot download them. What's to be done?
It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your computer.
Use your backup copy to put everything on the new computer.
If for some reason you have failed to maintain a backup ( not good), then you can transfer itunes purchases from an ipad- without syncing : File>Transfer Purchases
In some countries you can redownload some itunes content.
Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store -

I accidentally restored my new phone to an old backup and lost all my new pictures, videos, texts, etc. Is there any way to get them back? I cant find an "undo" option.
Apple isn't here. This is a user to user forum.
