Last work on unsaved Word doc. was 30 days ago. No record in Spotlight. Any other recovery alternative?
Last work on an unsaved Word document was 30 days ago. No record of the last work done on Spotlight. Are there are any other alternatives to recover the unsaved work?
Unlikely as it would probably have been overwritten by now.

I've been working on a newsletter and have the final version. But I wanted to check something in a verssion I did last week. If I choose the day in Time Machine, is there any way I can view that document without "restoring" it to replace the final version?
You can drag and drop a file from TM to the desktop.
Let's say your newsletter is on the desktop. First thing to do is to add something to the file name, say Newsletter_1.
Next open TM as if it is just another external drive by double clicking the icon. (This is not the same as "Enter Time Machine" which you do when you want to restore.) The file hierachy in TM follows the same logic as on your hard drive. Navigate to the date you want, find the file you want, and drag and drop it where you want it to be. Because you changed the name of the most recent version you can both files in the same space.
I do this often.
But remember if you make a back up now you will end up with both versions in TM. -
I am unable to scan from 'Preview' to my Canon MP540 printer, though scanning does work using the Canon solutions menu. 'Preview' was working normally up to a few days ago and I do not understand why the 'import from scanner' option is no longer available. Any ideas?
Hi,
Most computers with front and back Firewire and indeed USB ports have different controllers for them inside.
A look in the system Preferences should confirm this (Listed as Buses at least)
My USB layout
Often Shutting down the computer with all periferals unplugged (cable wise) and waiting 15 minutes will get the ports and controllers to reset.
It may pay to try this.
Where the App is should not matter in this context. (It does for Updating purposes)
Is this a camera that can play back other media/Devices and convert it in to DV for onward Firewire connection to the computer ?
Sometime they store in one format and can output in another. This allows them to act as DV converters.
This may bear some impact on the settings on the camera.
You said the Computer has 400/800 ports.
Do you mean it has one of each ?
Or do you mean you are using an Adapter and running some devices at 400 and some at 800 ?
It is likely that the camera is neither (System Profiler should tell you)
You seem to be clearly saying nothing has changed from when it worked
I am just exploring ideas.
Is there any chance the Scratch disk is nearly full and is sending lots of data back and forth to see what it can drop/lose?
Has the app that uses it been shut down recently.
Have you increased the number of Undos that it can do ? (This will store more Scratch data)
Have you stored anything else on that disk that is in use or takes up a large portion of the space ?

i have lost my ipad in the lecture room just 2 hours ago, but i donot have any other apple divices and i donot instoll itues in my computer, the only thing i got was my account number and my email. so what can i do to find it??
Change your iTunes (Apple ID) password along with any other password that was stored in the iPod. If any passwords are associated with credit cards, contact the CC company and get your card replaced (with a new number). If any passwords are associated with your bank or any savings institution, contact them also and discuss approprate action with them.
The "Find my..." function is pretty much useless if the device is in the hands of a thief. All that is necessary is for the thief to connect to any computer with iTunes and "Restore as new."
The only real protection you have is with the personal information on the device rather than the physical device itself. This requires action before the device is lost/stolen. If the device has significant personal information, it should have a strong 8-digit (or longer) password AND be configured for automatic wipe in the event of ten consecutive incorrect password entries. -

Why not? If you are under warranty and/or have AppleCare, call them. Let Apple deal w/hardware problems. If you mess up, your warranty will be voided!

I used to use Movie Maker and it would be able to handle lots of file uploads and big projects. I figure iMovie can do the same since it's newer and it's on my iMac. I was working on a project for a few months, it was working fine up until about a few days ago when the project file just stopped working. Not getting any audio or visuals and the screen went grey. I hope to not lose the project file as I've spent a lot of time on it. The project will still show up in iMovie, but it won't play. Other project files will, but this one won't for some reason. It's my first time using this program and I assumed it would be fine, but now it's causing me big problems. Anyone else run into a similar problem?
But it is I jsut can sync, back up files, or anything becuase its stuck at this screene and wont do execute when i click either of those button

So when i turn on my ATV2 now, and go to computers, it doesnt recognize my computer anymore. I didnt touch anything from the previous day after it last worked, so im not sure why it suddenly stopped working. I've tried turning off/on homesharing, siging in with a different account but still using my appleid..i've reset the ATV2 to it factory settings and then reinstalled the recent update but nothing seems to be working. Whenever i turn on homesharing on my macbook pro, it akknowledges that its on, but then the little logo for homesharing goes away as soon as i click done. Not sure if that is normal or not. Im assuming this is a prb with itunes because my photostream works off ATV2, receiving pics from my comp,but i cant seem to stream movies etc. The airplay icon is also no longer on my mac screen. I have no idea whats going on. Any ideas?

Imac-when pressed command H, word doc was locked .can't open. What to do?
Hi
Working onimac in WORD with a big document. When I pressed command H the doc went to its folder on desktop and will not reopen. How do I fix that , ie make it reopen.
What did command H do? when I click on the doc it will not reopen.
I may have hit control H like on a PC (to bring me to the top of the first page= home).
If so, how would I fix that . Need to open a very big doc and keep working.Command-H hides the document. Command-Tab brings you back to Microsoft Word. Your document isn't lost. You just simply switched to the Finder. In Microsoft's infinite wisdom, they didn't make command-H the same as minimize, and hence why you are probably lost. It doesn't minimize the window to the dock, which would make it easier to access. Don't use command-H unless you really want to hide and switch applications. This discussion explains alternatives.

I purchased an Iphone 5S in January and have been successfully dictating e-mails and texts using punctuation in my dictation. A few days ago it started spelling out the punctuation in the email or text, what did I do to cause that to happen ? thanks.
Don't expect support here. Nokia does not bother to pay a tech or two to support the people who have bought the 920. Not really a point to these forums.
Anyways, i have huge bt issues as well. Cannot connect or see my jawbone. In truck with pioneer nav system (it is illegal here to use a phone without handsfree in vehicle) it links, but when i make a call or receive a call it shows the phone off the receiver icon so it knows call in progress, but i either get no sound from the caller... at all, or i get a robotic mess i cannot decipher. when i cannot hear anything, people can hear me, but when i hear robotic, people can hear me but with distortion. However, when it reads a text message, the phone voice is fine through the system. Because i have to turn bt off then to use phone, i have to return this handset and just go back to android.
Have also had this drop calls a few times now as reception is probably the worst i have seen in a decade... even drops in downtown core. Battery life poor because i assume its always struggling for a signal. -
My Mac has suddenly stopped playing my DVDs including a DVD it played fine only 3 days ago. I insert the DVD and wait for the player to start automatically but after 10 minutes, nothing is happening and it sounds like the disk has stopped spinning. I've now tried with four different DVDs (all store bought and so perfectly normal disks). The Mac doesn't eject the disk or anything it just doesn't seem to respond to it being there at all.
My main confusion is why this suddenly happened today when it was perfectly fine last week.
Does anyone have any idea what could be wrong and how I could fix it? Thank you.

My iPhone's touch screen recently quit working, so I have a new one on the way so I tried to back-up my phone on my laptop and it will not connect. I've tried restarting the Apple Mobile Device services and that didn't work. So I completely unistalled iTunes using Apple's instructions and re-installed it and it still will not connect, and I don't use iCloud because the iPhone is my only Apple device. Is there any other way to get things off of my iPhone or is it all pretty much gone?
You need to get iTunes to recognize it. If your iPhone is working, which it is not, then a new screen would help. But you iPhone is broken beyond just a new screen. Now you can see why iCloud or even an iTunes Back Up is so important. iCloud back up is ideal for you, a one Apple device person, it automatically backs up your iPhone so there is a current back up ready to use anytime, especially in emergency like this. When you get your new iPhone, iPad anything use iCloudl it is free and simple.

My wi-fi connection from my iPad via the Airport Express Base Station on my home computer worked just fine until yesterday morning. I have a Macintosh G5 with a satellite connection. I could not get an Internet connection. After using the Network Preferences and Aiport Express applications several times, then unplugging and replugging in the computer, satellite modem and Airport Express module, checking the satellite dish for any obstructions, and so on, the computer still wouldn't connect to the Internet. (The green light was on in the Airport Express module.) I called the satellite company technical support division last night. The tech couldn't find any problem with the satellite connection. When I plugged the satellite modem cord directly into the Ethernet outlet on my computer, I could pick up the Internet.
Today, the Airport Express module still has a green light but still doesn't connect to the Internet. The only thing I can think of is that lights went out for about 15 minutes yesterday morning. All of my electronics, except the Aiport Express Base Station, are on surge protectors. Why would the Airport Express module still have a green light if it was damaged by the electrical outage?
I bought the module in 2009. I have never had problems with Apple equipment before this. Is this base station fixable?
I would appreciate your suggestions.Hello everyone. I too have experienced the same problem Mary described starting on the same day she mentioned January 12. I have a G5 iMac, a G5 mini-mac, and a G4 laptop. They were all working fine but all have mostly the same problem now in that the G4 does not connect at all and the G5s connect once in a while after restarts but do not maintain the connection. In my case there was no power interruption. In fact, the G4 laptop was not even connected to the home power connection. My iPad2 and iPhone 4s wireless work fine and a wireless PC and Android tablet work fine as well. The G5 and G4 work fine on an ethernet connection. ISP tech support (AT&T u-Verse) was very generous with their time in trying to solve my problem although it was established early on that their connection and equipment was working fine and that the problem was with my computers. They walked me through a manual reset of all the particulars on IP addresses etc. so the problem was not related to that either. In the end ISP tech support concluded that the problem must lie with the Airport driver. For some reason it changes the IP addresses to an incorrect address so it cannot connect. Indeed when I tried the diagnostics on the G4 I got a window Pop-up that said an application had reset my settings. (In retrospect I seem to recall that I may have gotten that same message early on with the G5s but at that time I did not think much about it and went about trying to reset the settings but that process never concluded well) I think that the problem may be that there must have been an update of the Airport software that was not backward compatible with the G5 and older Macs. I mention all this for two reasons. First, perhaps someone out there who knows better than I do how to bring this to Apple's attention and perhaps they will address this. Second, I would be curious to know whether there is anyway one can return a configuration on Macs to some earlier time period (as you can on PCs) when everything worked and then leave it that way foregoing any subseqent upgrades or any subsequent apps?
