I just lost a word document on my MacBook Air. Can it be recovered?
I closed a nine-page Word document that I had just finished as was about to send it to my professor, but after closing it I could not find it anywhere. There is another smaller document that I also can't locate. Both documents were saved and even checked for compatability. Does anyone have an answer to this problem?
if they were saved and closed, and you looked where you saved them to and can't find them, then they weren't saved correctly and most likely can't be recovered.

I lost App store app on my macbook air.can i get it now?
i lost App store app on my macbook air.can i get it now?
Are you running with Snow Leopard 10.6.5 as your profile suggests. If so you should not be able to get to the App Store. So what do you have?
You need Snow Leopard update 10.6.8. Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1
Once you have that I don't see why not. Check your purchase listing. If it is there you can download again free. -
I have a new computer with Windows 7 professional, Office 2007, Adobe XI. I have just created a word document and tried save it as a PDF but the PDF option doesn't appear in the drop down menu. Any ideas please? Thank you.
What is "Adobe XI" - Reader, or Acrobat?
But either way, 'Save as Adobe PDF' is a Word function, independent of what Adobe software you have installed. -

Office 2004 Applications Won't Work in Lion
You must have Office 2004 which is a PPC-only suite and will not work in Lion. You need to upgrade to Office 2011 - Mactopia - or you can try the freeware suite, Libre Office, that is functionally similar to Office 2007 for Windows except it works on Lion.
You may want to consider as well:
These two suites are similar to Libre Office but not as current or as well-supported:
NeoOffice
Open Office
And, then there is Apple's iWork suite:
Pages - word processing and layout
Keynote - presentation
Numbers - spreadsheet
Each can open and save Office compatible files. They may be purchased separately via the Mac App Store for $19.99 each.
(Access to the Mac App Store requires Snow Leopard 10.6.6 or higher and an Apple ID.) -
I started my computer (HP Pavilion dv6 Laptop) this evening and all my work files I had saved to the desktop (all Microsoft word documents) are gone and I can't find them anywhere. Nothing has been changed on the computer since we got it back two weeks ago after it did a system restore on us. This is the second time this has happened and i need the documents for work. Can anyone help?
Hi,
It may be worth checking that the documents haven't become hidden as follows.
From the Start Menu, open the Control Panel and open Folder Options. Click the View tab, fill in the radio button tittled 'Show hidden files folders and Drives' and click apply to make the change.
Now check your Desktop to see if the files are now visible.
If they are, for each file in turn, right click and select Properties. On the General tab, next to the sub-heading 'Attributes', remove the tick from 'Hidden' and click Apply to save the change.
When done, open the Control Panel and open Folder Options. Click the View tab, fill in the radio button tittled 'Don't show hidden files, folders or Drives' and click apply to make the change.
Regards,
DP-K

So I've been trying to open some Microsoft Word Documents and it says it can't be opened because PowerPC applications are no longer supported. What do I do about this?
Workarounds:
1. Restore the OS X that you formerly used to run Word 2004;
2. Partition your hard drive or attach an external hard drive and install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) so that you can "dual-boot" into Microsoft Word 2004;
3. Upgrade to Word 2011 or use an alternative program; or
4. The solution I use: Install Snow Leopard (and Rosetta) into Parallels 7 or 8:

Am unable to insert table and graphs into word document in labwindow/CVI? can any one help me ?
Am unable to insert table and graphs into word document in labwindow/CVI? can any one help me ?
Are you using the Word Report Generation instrument? You can find it in toolslib\activex\word\wordreport.fp under the CVI directory.
The instrument comes with a sample project that shows how to include table and graphs in a Word document: see samples\activex\word\wordrpt.cws in the samples foder of your CVI installation.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

MS word keeps crashing on my macbook air. it tries to recover all files when I try to open it then immediately crashes or freezes. It's ms word 2011 and I'm running OS X 10.7.5
I am having the same problem. When I save a document in word, particularly with track changes and comments, it freezes and crashes. I fould this forum as I was reading help posted in a previous forum and the "helping" comments were saying this must be a problem on the user end - but that can't be right as so many people are posting this problem. Its clearly an incompatibility between the software from two competing companies. Figure it out Apple!

How can I save an e-mail to documents on our macbook Air?
How can I save an e-mail to documents on our macbook Air?
It's pretty impossible to figure out what you're really trying to do ...
If you're literally trying to save an e-mail to your documents folder (which I doubt), then you can open the e-mail, do a File > Save As ... from Mail's menu and do it from there.
Good luck. -
I just upgraded my operating system on my MacBook Air and now my laptop won't detect my Toshiba 1T external hard drive, how to solve this problem?
Try some of the troubleshooting steps outlined below:
Troubleshooting an external hard drive
> Unplug the hard drive, wait a few seconds, and then plug it back in
> Restart the computer
> Unplug any other peripherals from the computer
> Plug it into a different USB port
If none of those steps work, see if it is recognized in Disk Utility.
Checking a disk with Disk Utility
To check a disk using Disk Utility, launch the Disk Utility application in any of the following ways:
> Type the first few letters of its name into Spotlight. Select it from the results.
> Go Launchpad > Utilities > Disk Utility
> Go Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility
Once Disk Utility is opened, check to see if your external HD appears on the sidebar. If it doesn't appear at first, try the troubleshooting steps above again while leaving Disk Utility open, each time checking to see if the external HD appears.

Just purchased USB SuperDrive to connect MacBook air can't eject start up disc
just purchased USB SuperDrive to connect MacBook air can't eject start up disc? please advise
No, of course not. The "startup disk" is the disk with your boot volume (operating system) on it. Once you boot (startup) from it it is locked as your computer will not "run" without a valid "startup disk".
It would be similar to complaining that "I can't remove the engine from a running vehicle". -
I just installed MacOS X Yosemite on my MacBook Air 2011. After installing Yosemite I installed the Photoshop Elements 12.1 upgrade, but now when I open the program and try to use the tools, the program freezes. How do I fix this problem?
If you use a trackpad and don't want to switch to a mouse, you can uninstall and reinstall all day long and will still have problems, but if you really want to try it, you can download PSE 12 here:
