I lost a document in Pages. Please HELP!!

Let me explain the situation: I had a document I had been working on for a long time permanently up in pages. Today, I decided to email documents to myself and accidentally clicked out of the document. It had always showed itself in the tabs bar, so I wasn't worried about losing it (and I thought I had saved it several times). But then when I clicked on it from the tabs bar, nothing happened. Then when I shut down my computer, and opened pages it was GONE!
Now, I haven't backed up my computer in a while, and did not have iCloud set up. Is getting this document back hopeless? Why would it just disappear like this?

Hi,
Thank you for your quick responce, I have tried as you have suggested and failed.
I have spent hours over the past few days trying to overcome this problem without success, everytime I right click the original filename it opens the file. I've tried it using a mouse and the pad on my MacBook Pro. I also have the same problem on my IMac.

Trouble customizing documents in Pages-Please help!!

How can I create custom page sizes in pages? I can create a new blank document but that seems to be the only page customization I can do.
What I want is to create a 10x8 pg (vertically) and have 3 columns (like seen in the brochure templates).
I see all these cool layouts in the templates but unable to recreate them.
Also, where can I learn how to use pages properly? The video tutorials are extremely basic and the help files are an extremely slow and frustrating way to learn.
Please let me know thanks.
Dorian

Dorian,
Let's start with your question about setting a 10x8" page: you do that in Pages by clicking on File > Page Setup. In the Paper Size menu, select Manage Custom Sizes, then set your paper size in the blank fields.
Regarding columns: Columns can be set in a number of ways -- one of which is by using the Columns icon on the contextual menu or the columns setting in the inspector. Another way is by inserting a table. But the brochure templates I looked at seem to be using text boxes and photos to give the documents the look and feel of columns. You can actually put text in a text box, select the box, then go to the inspector and change the text to two columns, which was done in one of the templates I looked at.
Do you need any more info?

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!

I updated my pages app on my ipad and when I tried to open a document it says the file format is invalid. None of my documents are opening pleaser help!!!!

Try this. It worked for me.
I discovered the same problem. I had an older version of Pages on my iPad. After updating it to the latest version all my previous documents created in pages for the iPad were rendered unreadable and a message stated that they were an invalid format. Why for the life of me would a program that was created by Apple and sense updated not be able to read previous versions...well that's a whole other sad story. Any way I discovered how to fix it but it would require that you had backup your iPad on a computer and not emptied your trash. If this sounds good than here is how you fix it... And it worked for me.
These steps will enable you to reinstall a previous version of the Pages app so you can be able to read and edit older documents.
FIRST: if you did backup your iPad using your computer and did not empty your trash, GOTO the trash and look for PAGES 1.4 (or other number) ipa ( that's the file extension) ie PAGES 1.4 ipa.
SECOND: move that file out of the trash and onto your desktop. Once you do this, double click on it and a box will come up stating a newer version has been found and do you want to revert back to older version. ANSWER YES. It will than automatically place and overwrite the older version back into the file on iTunes that contains the rest of your backed up apps.
THIRD: and this is where it is important that your backup would have to have been on your computer. I'm not sure if backup on the cloud will work. iCloud backup at your own risk And here's why. Before you restore you will need to remove the latest version of Pages off your iPad by doing the usual : holding down the home button until the apps wiggle and remove by pressing on X on app. Removing off your iPad will also delete all your documents but if you have a previous backup on your computer those documents will be stored safely on itunes and will return.
FORTH: plug your iPad into your computer and allow it to sync so iTunes will recognize it. Once iTunes is up and you can see that it recognizes your iPad, GOTO "FILE/DEVICES/RESTORE FROM BACKUP." ******* DO NOT CLICK ON BACKUP***** click on RESTORE FROM BACKUP. This will reinstall all previous settings and documents that were their when you backuped PLUS the older version of Pages that you placed back from the above steps. Let it run through all the setups ( this could take up to 20 minutes...depending on amount of data and photos and apps).
FIFTH: Once everything is reinstalled a message will popup on your computer stating "to leave iPad plugged in until iTunes recognizes it again" ( it's basically rebooting itself). Once done (leave iPad plugged in still) GOTO iPad and follow the steps. IMPORTANT: iPad will ask you if you want to SET IT UP AS A NEW IPAD, BACK UP FROM THE CLOUD or BACK UP FROM ITUNES.....press SET UP AS NEW IPAD. Follow all of the steps required. Once complete GOTO iTunes on computer, look for "IPAD" plus a little arrow ( should be on upper right corner of iTunes window, click on it ( this will safely disconnect your iPad from iTunes) . Now unplug iPad from computer and go to your iPad and look for the older version of Pages. It should be there along with all your old documents ( readable and editable too).
Hope this helps. Good luck.

I am working on big project and in accidentally flatten the file and i saved it as PSD in then I exited Photoshop. the next time when i open the file it is merged on one page. please help!

I am working on big project and in accidentally flatten the file and i saved it as PSD in then I exited Photoshop. the next time when i open the file it is merged on one page. please help!

Flattening and merging are very similar. The main difference is merging keeps the transparent areas, whereas flattening removes all transparent areas by giving it a white background. A good example of flattening is a jpg image.
Since you have closed the file by closing photoshop, that means that the history is now gone, no way of undoing.
So that leaves you with two choices.
You can either recreate the whole document.
Or you can make selections of areas you are keeping and moving them one at a time to new layers. Keep each object on a separate layer. Then redo the area behind those objects.

Thank you,

but the page of ni support does not work:
https://sine.ni.com/srm/app/newrequest
and I have the recovery.cfg file from NI with this steps :
1. Copy the recovery.cfg file, found in the zip folder attached at the bottom of the email, to the thumb drive.
2. With the cRIO device powered off, plug in the USB drive to the controller.
3. Hold down the reset button while powering on the controller. Continue holding the reset button until the status light turns on, then release the reset button.
4. Wait for the controller to boot. This should take less than a minute.
5. Check that the password has been reset to the default. (you will still be prompted for a password even if the default is blank)
6. Reinstall software to the controller. Using the USB reset will leave the system in a state where it is unable to run LVRT
I have followed the procedure as mentioned
Result: the LED "Status" is permanently blinking.
Would you please provide as with another alternative so that we can fix this issue.

I had to change my id & have lost my gift card balance please help?

Did you change the Apple ID for an existing account? Or did you create a new Apple ID? If you created a new Apple ID, your balance will still be tied to the old account and you'll have to log into the iTunes Store using that old account to spend the balance. If you changed the ID on an existing account and can no longer see a credit balance, go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store.

Lost unsaved Garage Band File - PLEASE HELP

Lost unsaved Garage Band File - PLEASE HELP
I had an audio file made on Garage Band but it was unsaved. I left my computer on at night and for some reason this morning my computer had seemed tor restart. I opened the garage band file but nothing came up.
Is there any way I can recover this 'unsaved file'? It must be stored in cache somewhere.
Someone please advise.
Thanks.

I would just like to say Thanks to HangTime up there. This trick worked 100% ... I had recorded 8 or 9 rather long tracks; for an unexpected reason (first time I've ever seen the "gray screen of death") the popup window came up and in several languages told me I needed to restart the computer; did what it told me to, begrudingly. Came back online, opened the GB file, nothing was there. Yet, when I checked package contents for the file (which I didn't even know existed, compartmentalized "Media", until after reading this), there were the tracks! I owe you both for getting this up and running... album creds just may be in line. ~Matt

Albums is a way or sorting photos. Photos aren't moved from the Camera roll. The Camera Roll consists of all the photos on the phone. If you delete from Camera Roll they are deleted everywhere but Photo Stream.
Are you using Photo Stream? Your photos, providing they wer recent should still be in Photo Stream. If you have Photo Stream set up on your computer they should all be there.

MY FONT LOOKS DIFFERENT IN INDESIGN PAGES PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Hello, I have a majo problem here. I have all my pages written in one font, Arial Narrow, however the width of the font looks different from page to page, it looks bold on page 1 and 2, and on page 3 it looks fine, is there any invisible setting applied to the whol page? why does it look bold? I did try toprint them, they do look different, also, there is no stroke set, i checked, and color is set to black not registration. Is there anything else I am missing???? Please help!!!!

Transparency isn't something you would adjust, per se.
Imported art may have transparency in it (like a transparent background), or you may have applied an effect like a glow or a drop shadow, or used a blending mode (all of which are transparency effects) on an object on your document page, or even adjusted an object's opacity in the effects panel to make the background show through (this is true tranparency inthe classic sense). Any of these things will result in ID redrawing the page and "emboldening" the type on that page.
There is no way to remove the eefect other than to remove the transparency from the page (if you are showing the icons for it in the pages panel, whcih you set in the panel options, you'll see a small checkerboard next to the page icon in the panel if there is transparency in use). To assure that all pages look the same if you are going to use transparency on any page, you can add a transparent object to the master page.

HTTP error 0 testing not serving php pages please help

Hello everyone,
I am using DWCS3, the free version of MAMP on my MacBook Pro Leopard 10.5.6.
I have built a customer registration form with a Transitional <!DOCTYPE>. I have been following the instructions from The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3, using a wizard to build a registration form, in chapter 15.
When I try to preview the form in the web browser, I get a white screen.
When I click the live data button I get an; HTTP error 0 message occured while attempting to request the file http://localhost:8888/mywebsite/page_S9INUKZB.php from the testing server.
possible reasons:
1. Files in MacHD/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mywebsite with .php extension are not being executed by the testing server.
2. The MacHD/Applications/MAMP/htdocs/mywebsite does not map to http://localhost:8888/mywebsite URL on the testing server.
I've gone over the site definitions several times and have configured MAMP differently twice, using ports 80 and 3306 and also 8888 and 8889. The same problem has happened in both instances here is my site definition info:
Local info:
Site name: mywebsite
Local root folder: MacHD:Users:myname:Desktop:mywebsite
links relative to document: http://localhost/
Remote info:
Access: Local/Network
Remote folder: MacHD:Applications:MAMP:htdocs:mywebsite
Testing server:
Server model: PHP/MySQL
Access: Local/Network
Testing server folder: MacHD:Applications:MAMP:htdocs
URL prefix: http://localhost:8888/mywebsite/
Web sharing is turned off.
Dreamweaver/Preferences/Preview in browser/preview using temporary files is turned off, yet in my HTTP error 0 message there is a string of characters after the page name, suggesting that dreamweaver is using temporary files.
I have attached a compressed copy of the customer registration form maybe the problem is the page. I have gone round and round in circles with this and I can't seem to sort it out can somebody please help me.
Thankyou.

Hello David,
Thanks for getting back to me, sorry for the late reply, I've been away for a few days.
I have done what you suggested, and altered the links relative to document: http://localhost:8888/mywebsite/
I have also restarted dreamweaver and mamp.
Nothing has changed when I try to view the page through the browser I get a white screen and the HTTP error 0 is still displaying, With the same message as before.
I have since created a new form, connected it to my user table, and populated the table with info, and that worked.
I then added the php validating code as suggested in chapter 15, pages 481 through to 485. I've also checked the code against your example page register_user_03.php.
However when I put the page on the testing server and try to view it, all I get is a white screen, and an HTTP error 0 the testing server is not executing pages with a .php extension. Or the URL prefix isn't mapped properly.
I have also checked all my settings in MAMP and left a question on the forum but they haven't answered.
Is there a setting or connection that I need to enable in Apache? I'm stumped.
I'm hoping you might have some tricks up your sleeve.
Thanks

I'm only having this problem with Adobe. I did uninstall all adobe applications that i could find and then reinstalled them. I only used Control panels add remove applications. I did restart my system after the uninstall. I also cleared the registry using CCleaner to remove any additional adobe files that may have been left behind.
I've fiddled with the Preferences tab. I couldn't get it to correct the colors. I've checked Replace document colors and tried all the options Colors where still wrong. Currently the settings are Document Colors options... Replace document colors Unchecked. Override page display unchecked for both. Tab order checked. Other accessibility options all unchecked. I called support and because I'm only using the free adobe reader I'm not privileged enough to get their technical support, that's only reserved for the paying full blown version of Adobe. They directed me to the forum. I'm very appreciative to all of those who are trying to help and i hope everyone can help me fix this problem.

Upgraded to Firefox4 and all my bookmarks are gone, I have tried all the solutions listed under lost book marks can someone please help me.. I have seen people say they have solved this but never tell how.

As it says above I lost all my bookmarks after upgrading to Firefox 4.
I have tried all the solutions under the Lost Bookmark page and they either do not apply or did not work.
I even found a old backup and imported it and it did not work.
I have seen several people say they have the same problem and have fixed it but never say how.. Please help

I've encountered the same problem; I (reluctantly) upgraded Firefox after years of happily using version 2, and discovered that I should have, apparently, saved my bookmarks before updating.
There is NO "places.sqlite" file anywhere on my hard drive.
Following the procedure at https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Lost+Bookmarks#Restoring_bookmark_backups restores the bookmarks folder saved *today*. . . after Firefox reverted to a *two year old file* and saved it over my existing one. (How do I know it's two years old? It has house search information from before my toddler's birth, that's how.)
There is no bookmarkbackups folder.
Searches across my hard drive for the following files turn up nothing useful:
* bookmarks.bak
* bookmarks.html
* bookmarks.html.moztmp
* bookmarks-(date).html
* bookmarks-(date).json
Oh, there *is* a bookmarks.html file that's larger than the 7/2 one that's been created; it is, however, from a transfer from IE bookmarks dated 2006.
None of the rest exit. Even searching for just the extension of .json turns up nothing.
I really, really want my bookmarks back, and I am not thrilled about this; I trusted Firefox not to screw up on an upgrade, and that's the only reason I didn't make a backup before installing. Silly me.

Junk characters like" � � "displayed in the jsp page please help.

Hi,
I am getting junk characters like � � displayed in the jsp page.
In the JSP page i used javascript "& nbsp" for appending spaces to a string "CCR" to get "CCR " .
Now the Resultant string "CCR " has three spaces appended to its right.
This String is set in session in that JSP page.
In the next JSP page i am getting that string from session.
After getting the string the "substring" function is performed to get only the first 5 charcters of the string. Now the result is displayed as " CCR� � " with has last 2 characters as junk values � � insteed of displaying as "CCR ". Please help me in solving this issue.
Please note that initially the sting "CCR" is got from the Oracle database in Solaris Machine.
Regards,
Vijay

have you tried:
strenuously inspecting the string that is coming from the db? do an actual loop over the string, character by character, dumping to System.out to make sure the characters are EXACT coming out of the db.
note you have to append " " not just "& nbsp"
post the code that is doing the output. the relevant bean code, the jsp, everything relevant - WITH COMMENTS discussing where things are happening.
Also, is it "weird characters" in the browser only? have you done a view source on the actual html source that the browser is rendering (right click in IE and click view source). browsers can act odd if you don't feed then exactly what they want, and it looks like you're feeding it escaped characters that it is rendering as something else.

I lost a document in Pages. Please HELP!!
