I saved my document as only .doc but not as a pages file and now I cannot edit anything and half the document looks incredibly screwed up, how did this happen?

I forgot to save the pages file, I do back up on time machine could a temporary file be in there somewhere? It was a 30+ page custom designed presentatiion that took me two weeks. i cannot believe I only saved it as PDF and .doc! My current theory is that I can only edit the document in pages as a pages file since that is what I had been doing. Please help if anyone has had this problem before or know how I can recover that screen I was working with a few days ago before I saved as a Word doc!!

Despite what Apple and its employees say Pages is not a 100% replacement for Word.
Pages files exported to .doc will have minor to major differences.
You should always have a Pages version. Exporting is only so non Mac and non Pages users may read it, and even there you should use .pdf to keep its appearance as close as possible to the original.
It sounds like you used a lot of Pages' features which turned out to not have Word equivalents.

We are unable to open a Pages 5.0.1 document in Pages 4.2 and retain ability to edit all aspects of the document. I have tried saving the 5.0.1 version as Pages '09 and am still unable to open it in the earlier version of pages. Help?

No, it isn't. Pages 5 isn't compatible with Pages 4.3 as it is lacking more than 90 features that Pages 4 has. So when you open a Pages 4 document in Pages 5 only the simplest documents will look the same in Pages 5.
Pages 4 can't open Pages 5 documents at all!! You have to export back to Pages 09 as I said above.
You probably will be more happy if you just use Pages 4 (Pages 09). There are many threads in this forum that describes the lack of compatibility between the two versions. Pages 5 is in my view not Pages anymore.
If you don't desperately need Pages 5 for moving documents over iCloud to new iOs devices don't use it.

anastasia808,
which model Mac do you have, and which version of OS X is installed on it?

HT202058 iphone 6+ somehow has switched my name on emails into my nephew's name. We share a first and last name but not a middle name. For example, my name might be John George Doe and his name John James Doe. How did this happen? How do I correct it.

So if the solution recommended by Ralph is not working then the other option is this:
Please make sure that the emails work correctly when signed into, on a computer
Then delete the account off your phone - you will not lose the emails
Reset the phone
Re add the account back in and see if that helps the issue
Thanks

Hi,
Would you take a look at the "Selecting a file location" section in the following document?
How to manage files in Acrobat DC for iOS
I suspect that you are looking at the Recent section. Your can switch to Local (for the files & folders stored on your iPad/iPhone) or Document Cloud (for the files & folders stored in the Adobe Document Cloud, formerly Acrobat.com) to find your "lost" files.
Please let us know if you have additional questions. Thank you.

I tried to change the name of my device and now I cant sync anything and it says there is a problem with the disk and when I changed the name back it still said the same thing so I restored my ipod (not from itunes but on the ipod itsself)

And now its saying my ipod is corrupt. None of my stuff was erased from itunes it was only erased from my ipod so why am I not able to just sync everything back onto my ipod? why is it doing this now? I think this is ridiculous that just changing one name would do this much damage.

There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.

I installed Mountain Lion and now I cannot watch anything on flash player. It just says incompatable plug-in. I was instructed to download the latest version of flash play which I have done but it makes no difference what so ever.

As stated above. I need to upload pictures to my business website but now my upload box is just saying incompatable plug in. I wish I had never installed Lion as I was happy with my mac on its origional OS, I only installed it as my Java had disappeared and I was instructed on the java page that to upload the latest verion of Java I needed to upgrade to Lion. I am really not happy as I now cannot do the job on my mac that I bought the mac to do the job on. Please help. Is it possible to uninstall Lion without buggering up my mac and going back to my origional OS. I am on safari. Not even sure which version of Lion I have downloaded so I am sure you can tell I am not a teccy

I sorted my worksheet and it saved the sort without asking if I wanted to save it! How did this happen?

I am on a mac mini OS X Yosemite using Numbers 3.5.2.
I opened an existing spreadsheet, sorted one of the columns, then closed it out so I could open it and it would no longer be sorted (the sort screwed up all my headings), and the sort was saved! Why did it save my sort without asking if I wanted to save the changes?

Hi Julia,

Have been playing FarmVille 2 on iPad air and a iPhone 4S but the game centre has deleted save and transferred iPad save to iphone how did this happen and can it be reversed

Can any one help game save lost and replaced from another device ???

Yes I tried this manyfold. But did not work. Reading on, I took Tesserac's advice. Shut down router and computer.
Start router after 15 minutes and wait another 10 minutes before starting the computer.
Et voila.... everything is back in working order,

Your documents were synched with iCloud when you logged in with your AppleID. If you had a photostream before, you could access some photos using the stream.

Pages is sending my documents in docx format, but windows unable to open them. They arrive blank or can only be read as a single line at a time. When view prior to sending the document is divided with black lines after each sentence.

Windows will only be able to open these if you have Word 2007+. Older versions of Word, for example Word 2003 would require a compatibility pack.
Perhaps you can try 'Saving As' a different file type instead?
