Is it possible to retrieve an earlier version of a powerpoint presentation that has been over-written

I accidentally overwrote a powerpoint presentation and need to get it back.  Does anyone know if it is possible?  thanks

Ok. If I recall correctly, Powerpoint saves each new version using a temporary file name, then deletes the old version of the file and renames the temp file to the correct name.  This means that you have a chance that the old version might be recoverable.  You now need to Google "Mac file recovery" and see what tools you can find.
IMPORTANT: As you continue to work on your MacBook you run the risk that some other file will overwrite the data you want from the disk. Everything you do from now increases the risk of this happening.
Good luck
Bob

  • How do I retrieve earlier versions of a photo project that was changed as I was setting up front cover

    As I was playing around on the front cover of an album re background colour etc I somehow changed the # of photos on the whole album( per page )  and now can't retrieve the earlier version of the album. The software has chosen several photos from each page and decided that it would be 4 / page .... hoping to be able to retrieve earlier version and rework it ??? 

    Restore your backup from just before you made this error

  • Is it possible to recover autofill forms that has been removed

    I accidentally clicked remove all (instead of remove 1) in the autofill preference.
    Now I have many sites that I can't remember the passwords.
    Is it possible to recover web form passwords that has been removed from autofill?
    Also I couldn't find them in the keychain. Please Help

    Also I couldn't find them in the keychain.
    Open Keychain Access  /Applications/Utilities
    Select Passwords on the left.
    Use the search field top right corner of the Keychain Access window to find web site addresses
    If you want Safari to "remember" a new password for a site, first make sure User names and passwords is selected in Safari / Preferences - Autofill.
    Navigate to a site. Enter the user name and password. When prompted, click Yes. That will create a new keychain for that site for you.

    You should be posting this in the Developer Forums, to which, as a developer, you have access. Discussion of beta software isn't permitted in the public forums due to the NDAs you sign as a developer.

  • I need to re-install my inDesign 5.5 but don't have my licence no for the previuos version (3). My 5.5 has been registered on my Adobe-account, but not the CS3, what can i do?

    I need to re-install my inDesign 5.5 but don't have my licence no for the previuos version (3). My 5.5 has been registered on my Adobe-account, but not the CS3, what can i do?

    Why do you need InDesign CS (that is version 3) or InDesign CS3 (that is Version 5) to install InDesign CS5.5 (it is version 7.5)?
    If it is an upgrade and asks you to input your serial of an older version, you have to get an find it. No one will help you here. If you can't find it and if you have not registered it, you are out of luck. You will have to spend money for a new version.

  • Is there a way to retrieve a text message that has been deleted from my iphone?

    Is there a way to retrieve a text message that has been deleted from my iphone?  I did't delete the message but after i synced my phone the message was gone.

    No, the app doesn't use Safari.  The app is AutoDesk Inventor Publisher Viewer.  I think there is a way that you can have a publish Inventor file, and if you create a correctly formatted hyperlink, you can click on it and it will immediately open the file in the viewer.
    I know that if you offer the file as a standard download, iOS will ask whether you want to open it with Inventor Pub. Viewer or save it to another app that can accept files.  I would prefer to skip the prompt, and just open the viewer.
    I've heard mention that this can be done with this application, but I can't find reference material anywhere.

  • Where is the Dual Core version of X100e that has been promised!!

    Where are the x100e units with AMD Neo x2 dual core that has been promised?? The Lenovo Australia website has them for sale but nothing in the USA. What the heck is going on here??? How much longer does Lenovo think they can get away with selling new laptops with old 65nm chips in them?? By the time these Neo X2 units come out the AMD Neo x2 65nm chips which they use will completely be dismissed by the public. It just seems Lenovo is helping AMD dump some very old stock of 65nm silicon. Hey Lenovo its 2010....65nm laptop chips have around since 2006.....release the Neo x2 version of the x100e soon before its too late...

    It's actually quite small, and I'm not sure why people are always complaining about bezels, I've never even noticed it, as I look at the screen and not the bezel surrounding it. Even the dual core atom isnt going to touch the performance of a C2D.  Show me the X300 for $750 US new, X200 was the clear choice there.  CD-ROM is obsolete as far as I'm concerned and SSD can be added aftermarket much cheaper, if desired.
    "The x100e is FAR more compact unit than the x200"
    X100e :  Dimensions: 11.1 x 8.2 x 0.6 – 1.2 inch; 3.3 lbs.
    X200 : Dimensions: 11.6 x 8.3 x .8; 2.95 lbs.

  • I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal.  Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

    I want to search Time Machine for an appointment that has been deleted from my current view of iCal.  Can I "restore" a previous version of iCal without losing all the entries I've made to the calendar since that prior date?

    No. I tried it on my Time Machine (I had just made one change today, so I knew I would not be left in the lurch if I failed) and when I clicked on restore I got this message:
    It seems you have several options.  I chose 'Keep Both'.  I suggest that you proceed with your search.

  • For iOS the ipad version shows the folio that has been published, but the iPhone app is not.

    I am responsible for handling the apps and not at all involved with or know how the folio creation process works.
    When I build the app for iOS the iPad version shows the folio that has been published, but the iPhone app is not showing the folio.
    Is this something related to the build process or how the folio was created?
    The folio also shows up in the Android app (at least the phone I have tested with).
    Thanks,

    "Android and iOS viewers have different requirements for displaying folios. Any folio size you create can appear in an Android viewer. The articles are scaled and letterboxed as needed. However, on the iPad, the viewer displays only folios with a 4:3 aspect ratio. The iPhone viewer displays only folios with a 3:2 or 16:9 (1136x640) aspect ratio."

  • HT1766 Is it possible to save an iphone that has been submerged in water?

    Is it possible to get the iphone in working condition again if it has been submerged in water?

    Make sure not to power it on, put it in a bag with rice for a few days; and test it out then, and pray. Really once a device is submerged in water your warrenty is nulled; you can get a replacemen tfor 149$; but this is the only hope you have to see if the device will work afterwards.
