Is there a way to comment on specific Document Version?

I have high hopes for document versioning.  However, I can't find much information on the details.  I'd like to understand how it works a little bit better. I have lots of questions.  But the first thing that came to my attention is that to be really useful, I would need to make comments for a specific version.  If I make a fundimental change in the document, I'd like to be able to make a comment about that version.  Otherwise, I have to visually inspect the documents to see what version I need to restore.  When working with very complex documents, it is very hard to visually inspect for that meaningful change.
Also, I would really like to read up on how versions work and documents behave.  For instance, what is the significance of moving the file or copying the file.  When does the versioning remain intact and when will it be left behind.  I'd really appriciate if somebody could point me to any documentation or in depth review of the document versioning feature in Mountain Lion.
Thanks,

Apple hasn't posted much besides this: OS X Lion: About Auto Save and Versions. 
There are some independent reviews such as: Mac OS X 10.7 Lion: the Ars Technica review.  Scroll down to the contents for the section on Document revisions.
Bottom line -- because it only saves the previous contents of changed "chunks," you can't alter an existing Version; just make a new one.
Note that the actual file contains only the current contents; all the versions info is in a hidden, protected database.  So when you move, copy, back-up, or send a file, only the current version goes with it.

    Is there a way to down load specific, individual songs on my iphone 5 or ipad 2, through iTunes Match, rather than having to download the entire album in the Cloud?

    Begin by tapping on the Settings app.
    Scroll to the Store menu and tap that.
    This is where you can manage your Automatic Download settings. You can control Music, Apps, and Books (if you have the iBooks app installed) here. Slide to On any of the kinds of files you want iCloud to automatically download to your device.

  • Is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook?

    is there a way to password lock specific files I put on the playbook - both media & non-media files/folders?
    ideally if a file is password locked, it can also be made hidden?
    thanks.

    from my personal perspective, a device should always be password protected. I cannot see any case where you would accept for any device to be borrowed for someone to use.

    Is there a way to contact a specific person on here?
    I am having unbelievable problems & one person is trying to help me. One way is to refer me to another's post/site.
    Is there any way that I can directly contact that person to get the "straight" of it all? I am "ignorant" of many of the names & processes required to "fix my macbook" & it is multiple problems that won't allow me to do what is on his page.
    Thank you.

    HT3275 TIME MACHINE GONE... EARLIER, OTHER OS APPS NOT THERE, DAMAGED MAC from what??
    I am new & totally going at this blindly!
    BDAqua has been trying to help me & sent me to a website by Phil Stokes, but I don't understand it... & he has his own website for help now which I signed up for, but they must APPROVE ME.
    I think that I will be able to contact the guy who wrote the "How to Un-Install MacKeeper, but my issues are bigger than that.
    I am sorry that the above is so long when you get to it, but I am having so many problems & cannot find any resolution.
    Stupidly... Ignorantly downloaded MacKeeper, which everyone says to UN-INSTALL ASAP....  but I can't seem to do that in that I have other issues & don't want to lose all of my info.
    TIme Machine just recently said, "NOT configured", so can't back up my info. I have tried everything that I know to do. It is in the top & in my Applications, but when I turn it ON, it goes to Time Capsule, which I don't have. I have 2 external HD's, MyBooks. One I use only for Time Machine. I plug it in & hear & feel it running but it does not show up on my desktop & is NOT connected to my Time Machine. When I hit "ON", it opens up an EMPTY window to set up Time Capsule, which I do NOT have... nothing listed in the window! When I close that window, Time Machine goes to "OFF" position.
    Also, get "Browse over Time Machine Disks" when I click the icon at the top---> EMPTY WINDOW!
    Another option was to go to Finder-->Applications-->Disk Utility--> and External HD should show up in the upper left hand corner under the Hard disk icons... & it DID. Changed USB cord( From 2nd MyBook that I bought for STORAGE... now NOT there??.....Just changed power cord from 2nd to 1st & it is there again.
    The first time that I did that, it was there, but all the repair/check/permission options were greyed out, so could not do anything. Now they are there, so will try to see what happens. Trying Disk Repair. Will let you know later how that turns out. (I am pretty sure, based on all my efforts over the past weeks that nothing will be fixed.
    OS Disk still showing up in the left hand corner from the other day & it has been ejected & removed, NOT there? Why would that be?
    Hope you can be of some help. I avoid my Mac for days, feeling like I am going into the "black place" again, so if I don't reply in a timely manner, know that there are reasons. I am overwhelmed with too many issues to deal with & not a sole to help me.

  • Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7?

    Is there a way to select a specific playback device while using itunes 11 on Windows 7? I was trying to select a device, is there such an option in itunes as there is in VLC player and Windows Media Player. If not, any idea when this feature will becoem available? Thanks!

    iTunes supports multiple Airplay devices that can be selected.  If the device does not support Airplay then the manufacture of the device would need to support it for iTunes.

  • Is there a way to set extension specific download folders in safari? aka .docs to one folder, .mov to another, etc

    Is there a way to set extension specific download folders in safari? aka .docs to one folder, .mov to another, etc
    I'm trying to use safari to organize my downloads so i have less clutter and know where things are

    Nothing "built in" senses file type and sorts by it that  know of, and I've not heard of any third-party options.
    You can have pretty good control by slight mods to how you download:
    1--Set up a dedicated Downloads folder in Documents if you don't have one. Point all you browsers to that folder for catching downloads.
    from here you have two options:
    2A--always display that folder sorted by "Kind." That put files of similar types together
    2B--within the Downloads folder, create subfolders for different file types. If you do this, instead of clicking files for downloading, right-click them. One of the contextual menu options the right-click will reveal is "Download Linked Files as...." and will force a dialog box from which you can select the subfolder that will hold that file type.

  • My Pages document will no longer show up on my iPad. It shows up on iCloud and i tried to download the document on to my computer. It only gives me an error and tells me to try again. Is there some way I could recover my document?

    The other day I tried to open a document on my Pages app on my iPad. I soon notice I could no longer see it anywhere is my documents. I opened my laptop and went to iCloud.com to search for it there. On iCloud.com I am able to see the document but I can not do anything with it. I tried downloading it to my computer as a pdf. file but it just says error and to try again. I was able to copy the document but it does not allow me to download the copied document either. Is there some way I can recover the document or a pervious version of the document?

    How are you seeing your document on iCloud from your laptop? Web browser, or OS X Pages open dialog?
    If you have MS Word or .pages formatted files parked on iCloud, the web interface will not permit their download as PDF, and in fact, PDF is an inactive option in that download menu for these word processing files. There is no copy facility available, but duplicate functionality exists from the iWork category within the iCloud web presence.
    If you have Pages v4.2 or later installed on your (assumption: Mac) laptop, launch Pages and in the open file dialog, select iCloud on the dialog toolbar. Now, press and hold the option key as you drag and drop a copy of our document from iCloud to your desktop. The reverse works also.
    See if you can open that document on your laptop now.

  • Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?

    Is there a way to place an encrypted document on the iPhone, a document that contains passwords and private information, really well protected from hackers?
    Can such a document be exempted from the cloud feature, a feature that I use for the rest of my stuff?
    If so, how can I do this?

    Yeah, but 1Password charges for both the iPhone client AND the Mac/Windows client, and it ain't cheap! Plus, it only syncs via Dropbox, and where I work Dropbox is banned due to security concerns.
    Sure, there is Secure Notes, a free form entry part of 1Password, but a bug in the program will not let you view all the text you can put in the field!! You have to EDIT the text to see the whole list! What if you accidentally delete or change an entry while scrolling through your entries??
    Plus NONE of the programs I have tried, and I have tried a lot, can find text IN the file - do a search and it will tell you what file/folder the text is in, but YOU have to scroll down through 400 entries one at a time looking for the entry.
    I use a program called Secure Text - I have many admin passwords, and DO not need a field based program. Secure Text is totally freeform entry. However, it suffers from the same search issue.
    If someone knows of a secure text program that uses a file/folder type of layout, free form entry, AND can actually tell you where in the file/folder the text you searched for is, PLEASE let me know! Plus sycing via some method other than Dropbox would be a plus.
    Before I got my iPhone, I used a program called Tombo for my WinCE based system AND my Windows workstation, and the synced up fine without iTunes, internet, DropBox type functionality or any of that horsecoller stuff Apple likes to throw on your neck.

  • Is there a way of locking a word document in ios mountain lion so that it cant be printed or changed?

    Is there a way of locking a word document in mountain lion so it cant be printed or changed?

    You can print because it's your document. Others shouldn't be able to. But then it's easy enough to unlock them altogether.
    Easiest is to get encryption software and just encrypt the document. Or create a small encrypted disc image with Disk Utility and store the document in the disc image.

  • After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

    After hours of back-up, downloading and uploading...I am now updated with all the latest Mac software. However, I no longer have access to Excel and Word. Is there a way I can access my documents in either of those? Help, please.

    If you have older versions of excel and word that previously ran under the Rosetta emulator (allows PowerPC code to run on Intel system), they will no longer work with Lion.
    You can use the Apple programs Pages and Numbers to access the files. They can be bought and downloaded from the App store. NeoOffice is available at http://www.neooffice.org/neojava/en/index.php which has Lion support. OpenOffice doesn't talk to Lion support, it's at http://www.openoffice.org/

  • In Pages 5.0.1. is there any way to link one pages document to another pages document.  If so, How?

    Is Pages 5.0.1 is there any way to link one Pages document to another Pages document?  If so, Please, How?

    Well, you could trade it in for a white one! 
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

    Is there a way to password protect a document in the app Pages?

    I'm using iOS 7.1 on my iPad - and yes, you can click the little spanner (wrench) icon when you're in the document you want to protect, and there's an option "set password" towards the bottom of the menu.
