Is there a way to find lost 'pages' files on my mac?

I updated to OS X Mavericks, and think I may have lost a term paper while doing so... Is there any way to get it back?

Go to the folder where you last knew it was and fire up Time Machine and step back in time until you find it.

I have files that freeze my programs whenever I try to open ANY file. Is there a way to find the exact files causing the crash?

I have files that are freezing my programs (adobe; after effect and photoshop, as well as maxon cinema 4d). Whenever I try to import ANY file from within the program it doen't even let me select the file I need before freezing. I have moved all files off my desktop and into my dropbox, and it now allows me to import files/search for files on the desktop but NOT dropbox, once I go to dropbox it freezes again. I am assuming there are files within dropbox now that are crashing my programs. The problem is I have a lot of files in there and would like to remove the corrupt ones so that I can use my programs without freezing. Is there a way to find the exact files causing the crash?
This has happened a couple of times and each time I have to move all my files off my desktop, so there must be a type of file doing this, I just don't know what files they are.
Mac Book Pro 15" running OSX 10.9

Graphics Intel Iris Pro 1024 MB
ANY help would be greatly appreciated! It is making it really hard to get work done. THANKS!

This error sounds to me like you have/had BootCamp Windows installed and then removed, posible ?
If so (and even if not so), try restating your MBA while holding down the alt/option-key until you get to the Boot Selection Screen.
Choose to boot OSX.
Once in OSX go to System Preferences then Startup Volume and set your OSX to be the default.
Hope it helps

Is there a way to FIND what page is playing music?

I often have two browsers & a good number of windows & tabs open. Sometimes, especially if I have to reboot, and they all re-open, I'll hear music or a video playing, and have no clue where it's coming from!
Is there no way to find out, without having to go tab by tab, window by window, scouring up and down on each page, looking for a little player?
And on some sites, there's just automatic music, with no visible player (which I really can't stand, as I'm usually already listening to something else, and the webpages with auto-play tend to use very loud music, increasing the ensuing displeasure.

I don't know if there's an answer to your question, but Firefox 4 (still in beta) has a new feature called Panorama that lets you visualize and arrange tabs at the click of a button. It allows you to see re-sizable thumbnails of all the tabs you have open in a window at the same time, which should make your hunt a little easier.

Well, that would help to see what tabs are open, but my major problem is when it's just a player or small video window on a page, that's playing. Knowing all the tabs open will help if it's an obvious page, like a YouTube video, or band's MySpace page, but I can see all the tabs on each window, but I still must go one by one, looking up & down each page, looking for the culprit. Sometimes there's no player to see, but an imbedded song that automatically just plays....
I was hoping there'd be some program that could show where or on what page an audio or video file is being played...

Application Items - is there a way to find all pages containing an item?

Hello,
I'm taking over support on an APEX application which uses application items. There's no documentation on design so I'm having to go through the app manually to understand it. Is there a way to see which pages a given app item has been used on? I don't want to trawl through each page manually...
Steve

Hello
You can also access the apex_application views from sqlplus or your favorite GUI.
Connect with the schema owner of a schema that belongs to the apex workspace your application is in.
Then you can build your own select statements
For example
select *
from   apex_application_page_items p_item
,      apex_application_items      app_item
where p_item.application_id = app_item.application_id
and    p_item.item_source = app_item.item_nameWould give you all the page items that use a application item as source.
Pretty much everything is accessible through these views such as source of the processes or conditions for display.
Have fun :)

Is there a way to find old PowerMac files on my Intel Mac?

I'm running into some problems here and there where things freeze up, kernel panic, stuff like that -- on my new March 2009 Intel 8-core Mac. I'm wondering if I have some old PowerPC files or preferences buried in folders somewhere that could be causing the problem.
My question is: is there a program out there, or a built-in way, to scan my Intel Mac for PowerPC files, preferences, etc., so that I can find and delete them?
Kirby

Well, sure, but I doubt this is the source of your problem.
Anyway, if you run System Profiler, select Software, and then look at "Applications" "Extensions" and "Frameworks" you can see which items are PowerPC, Universal, or Intel, and which are 64 bit.
I strongly recommend you do not go deleting any items willy-nilly as a form of troubleshooting. The chances you will cause more harm than good are virtually guaranteed.
Also, preference files are not PowerPC or Intel. They are just files. Only executable code is built for a specific processor.

Is there any way to mass download Pages files from iCloud?

I use iCloud for all of my iWork documents, and it's saved me in the past (I had a laptop stolen, but all my documents were safe), so I swear by it. I just had a scary experience with a non-Apple program randomly deleting important documents, so I thought I'd be over-cautious and ask if there's any way to download hard copies of documents created and stored in iCloud in Pages so that I can back them up and keep them for prosperity. Thanks!

iCloud keeps copies of your iWork documents on your Mac so that you could work on them without an internet connection. It would then sync them to the cloud the next time you are connected. These copies are located in your user library > Mobile Documents in separate folders for each application. If you have Time Machine set up, & I certainly hope you do, you already have copies & backups.

HT2614 Is there a way to open winmail.dat files on a mac pc?

aparently winmail.dat files ar created by microsft outlook or simular mail clients on a PC and has somthing to do with rich text document settings. if i start my computer in windows mode i can view the files however if i start in MAC OS and try to open it wont reconise even if using the MAC version of Microsft outlook.

That's a Microsoft extension. For frequent email senders, you can request they stop sending the Microsoft-specific stuff; messages that aren't directly readable by other mail clients. Here's how they can disable this: Email received from a sender using Outlook includes a Winmail.dat attachment (Microsoft KB278061)

HT4399 I have a Mac Book Air and have purchased individually numbers and pages. I was given an excel file on a thumb drive and cannot open it. Is there a way to open the xcl file in numbers?

I have a MacBook Air, and have purchased individually Numbers and Pages. I was sent an Excel file on a thumb drive but cannot open the file. The message states that the Excel file is encryeted. Is ther any way to open a PC file on my Mac Book Air?
Pat and Bob

Excel does not use the .xcl extension for any of its native file formats? The only files I've ever seen with xcl as the file extension were associated with embedded application code projects.
If this is in fact an Excel file, but an encrypted one, you cannot open it (in excel or any compatible application) without the decryption password.

Is there a way to create an MMS FILE

HEY ALL MACHEADS,
just want to know if there is way to create an MMS file on a mac with quicktime..or convert a quicktime to be sent via MMS ( from a blackberry say...)
I think its called viral video...??? any help would be great...
orlando f

If you wanted to send a video as an mms from a mobile phone, the best option for exporting would be 3G in the quicktime export menu ( File > Export and it's in the drop down list).
Keep it short and small and you shouldn't have any probs. There are some miserly operators out there who block MMSs bigger than 100K

Is there any way to find a lost iPhone even if the Find my iPhone app is not logged in with iCloud account?

Hello everyone,
I've lost my iPhone 5s yesterday in a party. The Find my iPhone app is not logged in with my iCloud account in the phone. Is there any way to find the phone? I'm really lost in this matter. Please help, if you can!
Thank you.

Thanks for taking the time to respond!!
I didn't think so, but was hoping this was a time, that someone knew something that I didn't.

HT4623 Is there any way to find a lost iPhone once the phone's battery has expired?

I have lost my iPhone(4)and the battery is dead. I have the "locate device application", however, I know the battery is dead. To my knowledge, once the battery has expired, it cannot be retrieved using the "lost device/find my device" application.?? Is this correct? If so, is there another way to find this lost iPhone?

Thanks for taking the time to respond!!

I Lost my iphone. I dont have mobile me and I dont have find iphone. Is there a way of finding it?

Lost my iphone. I dont have mobile me and I dont have find iphone. Is there a way of finding it? Thank you.

But the app has nothing to do with enabling tracking on the lost device. To enable tracking of a device you do need a mobileme account in order to turn on the tracking feature so you can then find the lost device with either a computer and web browser or the app (running on another device).

I'm assuming the OP meant that he had not enabled the tracking on the device.
