I duplicated a Pages document but didn't save it. Can I get that back?

I write a monthly newsletter for my organization. Every month, I use the same format, so I duplicate it and then work off the old document changing what I need to. I had limited sleep the night before I was working on it and went to close the original pages document (last month's newsletter) and was actually on the duplicated page. When it asked me if I wanted to save changes, I thought, "of course not! That's the old document!" So I closed it without saving. Turns out, that was the current newsletter I was halfway through. Is there any possible way to get this back? I really hope so. It was a couple hours of work I'll have to replicate.

Hi rvapohl,
If you did not save at least once, then I am afraid that your work has evaporated.
You don't say what version of operating system you are using. Please update your profile.
If you are using a Mac with OS X Mountain Lion, you can find "Save As..." under the File menu by holding down the option key. Far more intuitive than "Duplicate".
Regards,
Ian.

I got sound back, but I no longer have the iTunes Radio! How can I get that back?

I got the sound back after resetting, but the iTunes Radio did not come back! How can I get that back?

Check the songs are really not in the Music section of the library by clicking the magnifying glass in the search box and unticking Search Entire Library if it is ticked, then typing in the name of the album. If the tracks still don't show try closing iTunes and deleting a hidden file called sentinel from inside your iTunes folder. This should make iTunes run an integrity check on the database when you start it again. Make sure the tracks are checked before you try syncing again.

My ipad 2 had face time but now its gone how can i get it back?

my face time is gone...How can I get it back?

It cannot be deleted, but it may be lost in a folder, on another screen or it might be restricted.
Swipe from screen to screen to look for it.
Check Settings>General>Restrictions and make sure that you didn't disable it.
You can also reset the home screen layout and the icon will reappear - but the home screen will return to the way that it looked when you first activated your iPad.

I updated my iphone and most things like pictures, notes, calendar, transferred over, but I lost APPs and contacts. How can I get them back? Went to Verizon and they referred me to Apple. They said they could see the contacts had been downloaded at some point but couldn't get them.

The back/forward buttons on the tool bar only go one page at a time. I used to be able to click a drop-down and select how far back/forward I wanted to go. How can I get that back

I can only navigate back/forward one page at a time. The drop down box that used to allow me to see the recent pages and select the page I wanted to go to was immediately to the right of the "forward" button. I can right click over the forward/back buttons and get the dropdown list of recent sites.

Use right-click on the back/forward buttons to bring up the context menu, the drop down was never needed, and I had suppressed it for a long time to save space.

I got the new version of firefox and I have lost the tools at the top of my page such as the refresh butten. how can i get this back

I downloaded the new version of firefox. I restarted my computer. I no longer have the tools at the top of my page such as the refresh button. I need help getting those buttons back.

Firefox 4 uses a combined Stop/Reload/Go button that is positioned at the right end side of the location bar. 
During the page load process it shows as a Stop button and after the loading has finished the button is changed to a Reload button. 
If you type in the location bar then that button becomes a Go button. 
Middle-click the Reload button to duplicate the current tab to a new tab. 
To move the Stop and Reload buttons to their position to the left of the location bar you can use these steps:
* Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize" or via "Firefox > Options > Toolbar Layout"
* Drag the Reload and Stop buttons to their previous position to the left of the location bar.
* Set the order to "Reload - Stop" to get a combined "Reload/Stop" button.
* Set the order to "Stop - Reload" or separate them otherwise to get two distinct buttons.

I had to upgrade to Iion, but lost my iPhoto,how can I get it back

i change my hard disk as the other one was full, how can I recuparate iphoto and iwork ?

Do you need to restore the iPhoto application and the iWork applications, or do you need to restore the iPhoto library with all your photos and your iWork documents?
How did you migrate your files and folders, when the drive was exchanged , and what kind of backup of your old drive do you have?
If iPhoto came preinstalled on your computer you should be able to reinstall it drom the AppStore if you sign in with your Apple ID. It show on the "Purchased" tab of the AppStore, if you sign into the AppStore with the same iD you used to set up your computer.
How did you originally buy iPhoto and iWork? What versions did you have?

Started a new apple id but lost all my movies can i get them back

i started a new apple id and deleted my old one only to find i lost all my movies can they be retrieved.

All content that you download from the store is tied to the account that downloaded it. Depending upon what country that you are in (and whether you've changed countries since buying the films), then if the films are still in your country's store (and those film studios allow redownloading) then you might be able to log into your old account and redownload them via the Purchased link under Quicklinks on the right-hand side of the iTunes store homepage on your computer's iTunes.
Logging into an account and redownloading its purchases may tie your computer to that account for 90 days : iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - so you won't be able to use iTunes Match, automatic downloads or redownload your new account's purchases until the 90 days have completed (it shouldn't affect new purchases). And, depending upon what you've already done with your new account, you may already be in a 90 day association to that account.

HT1338 how do I recover a document I was working on but didn't save?

I was working on a document and didn't save when my program crashed. Does anyone know how I can recover this document?

I'm assuming the program in question was MS Word, judging from the tags you used. Word has an AutoRecover feature that may be of some assistance, but only if you had it turned on. If you did, you may be able to find your document here:
/Users/username/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office version AutoRecovery/Autorecovery save of filename
If you didn't have AutoRecover turned on, there's nothing you can do to get that document back.

When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages. When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is. I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

HT4798 i created my apple id account, verified but know i m unable to log on, it says incorrect password, i tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to my e- mail address, how can i get this sorted or delete my pr

User created apple id account, verified but know she is unable to log on, it says incorrect password, she tried to reset via forgot password option but it does not send reset password page to here e- mail address, how can i get this sorted? or how can i get her whole apple account deleted and created new one using same e - mail address?

The idea to jumpstart by change was not the smartest one, but gives you an opportunity to use that "temporary" account as permanent. You do not have a choice cause obviously despite you thinking that old account is no more -it does exist on Apple servers. And if you are unwilling to share your [email protected] with friend, just create one extra [email protected] for your friend. One suggestion - do not use gmail.

I have an ipod touch 2 and rebuilt my laptop. Reinstalled ITUNES and can't find my applications on ITunes after login. I tried to activate Itunes again but it didn't. How can I get my applications to display on ITUNEs?

It sounds like you essentially have a new computer and unless you restored from a backup your iTunes library would be empty. You can transfer your iTunes purchases from your iPod to the computer by:
iTunes Store: Transferring purchases from your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to a computer
SInce you changed syncing computers. after you move the stuff you need to restore the iPod to factory defaults and sync the stuff back to your iPod. If you had the iPod backup file you could restore from backup.
If you have non-iTunes pruchases you can copy them to your computer by using one of the third-party programs discussed in this previous discussion:
