Lost my pass words in appleworks recent items

I had all my pass words in the recent items file and had the file in the dock. The icon in the dock has a question mark on it and will not open, I go to appleworks file/staring points/recent items. Recent items will not open , a window comes up to tell me it unexpectedly quit. I go to finder and open recent items and click on the pass word icon and I get the message that the alias can't find the original. I have about 30 pass words in that file , I appreciate any help. Thanks,
steve

Spotlight is pretty simple; you just click on the little Search icon which is probably in your menu bar and then type the filename into the window. If something of that name exists on your system then it stands a very good chance of finding it.
Yvan already mentioned one likely way that the file may have gone missing, i.e., using Finder actions like renaming the file on an AW file while it's open. This is a well-known bug of long standing which has never been fixed and, clearly, isn't going to be.
I don't think it would have been erased, but the effect is the same: When the 'address' is lost to the system that small chunk of memory will be listed as available and, eventually, something else will move in and write over it.

WORD document not showing up in Apple Recent Items Documents

I work on a certain WORD document every day, maybe serveral times a day. I edit it each time, making numerous cuts, copies, pastes and saves. I remember when I first got the computer, it would show up in my Apple list of recent documents and as such was handy when I relaunched it every day. Now it isn't showing up there at all. WORD will be listed as a recent application but not the document itself. I have to access it by first launching WORD, not by clicking on it in the Apple menu as I did before. I have "Number of recent items" in the System Preferences set to 15 documents. I tried saving this document with another name to see if that would work. It didn't. Then I thought maybe there was a glitch in the particular WORD document so I opened a new one, typed a line, saved it, quit the program and then looked under the Apple menu. It was not there either. So, is this a problem with some kind of WORD preference setting or with my computer? I've recently repaired my permissions and verified my disk and there appear to be no problems.

OK, I may have resolved this but not in a way that I like. If I put the document in the "Documents" folder in my User folder then it shows up. But I prefer to organize my stuff in my own way, make my own folders and put them where I want to, as I did with system 9. Is this not possible on OSX? It's going to be a disorganized hodge-podge if I have to do it the way it seems to be set up to do - stuff is going to be all over the place and I will not feel in control over anything. What also doesn't make sense it that the Apple menu lists other items in recent "documents" that are not in the home user>documents folder at all. One is something from User>Sites and the other is the Appearance.prefPane.

you just have to install this software, connect your old ipod, copy all the files inside your old ipod to your laptop and after that put them inside the new one!

'recent items' isn't storing word and excel documents

I just purchased a new iMac running Yosemite. Under the apple, recent items, the items stored are only various types of images (.jpg, screenshot). No documents from Word or Excel are listed. How can I get 'recent items' to list the Word or Excel I haveopened recently
royfrommill valley

You need to open them in Office 2008 or newer, LibreOffice, Pages/Numbers, or similar software.

I cannot open a recent item. Is it lost forever?

I had an important document that my MacBook autosaved for me, so I opened the autosaved version and began editing it extensively, after finalizing it I (stupidly) saved it under the same autosave name. Now my document folder is only displaying the original version of the document and the autosaved version is not in the folder and does not come up as option when I search for it in the finder. I figured all hope was lost until I clicked on my apple "recent items" menu and there it is!...but i can click on it all day and it doesn't open. Is there anything I can do? (It is a TextEdit doc file) -Cal

Perhaps you can find a more up-to-date version in Time Machine?

Appleworks crashes when "recent items" is selected

After upgrading to 10.5 recently, Appleworks (v. 6.2.9--yeah, upgrade it) when I select the "recent items" tab, I will hear the drive accessing for 13 seconds then the app disappears. After another 12 seconds I get the "quit unexpectedly" alert box.
Files will open if clicked on. Appleworks that is on a 10.4.11 partition still works as expected.
PROBLEM RESOLVED
While checking on behavior for details while making this post, I found the cause of the problem. When I added an external drive and moved most of my data files to a new location, none of the aliases of "recent items" could link to the new location. When I deleted all of the recent aliases in the AppleWorks folder there is no longer a crash. Previously, when a link couldn't be found, it was greyed out. Guess when none of the links worked, Works had a nervous breakdown.

This is a very old bug described for years.
It strikes also when "Recent items" is not selected!

Appleworks now crashes on opening "recent items"

Tonight I updated some documents in Appleworks on my iMac and then transferred the completed
files from the iMac to my MacBook Pro. All went well till I tried to open them in my MBP only to find
it crashes every time. The report says it was a
"Exception Type: EXCBADACCESS (SIGSEGV)
Exception Codes: KERNINVALIDADDRESS at 0x0000000015ef9000
Crashed Thread: 0"
All the reports are the same.
Following the suggestions previously listed I have tried to delete the preferences
(h/d/users/username/library/preferences/Appleworks) but cannot find the file
com.apple.appleworks.plist in (~/library/preferences)
I have triedto restore using time machine but problem still exists.
I have also deleted all the files relating to Appleworks that I can find and then re-installed them
from my iMac where the application works well.
Interestingly, I can find the com.apple.appleworks.plist on my iMac but not on the Macbook Pro !!!
I have also attempted to re-install using both computers with file sharing but still the same old
problem.
If, I go into appleworks and select a document in starting points, then this document will open.
However, when I select Appleworks 6. app and get the starting- points popup, as soon as I select
"recent items" it then crashes.
Can any one please help in this case ?
Alan

There is one point I would like more info on - why don't I have in my h/d/users/username/library/preferences the file "com.apple.appleworks.plist" Its there in my iMac but is not to be found on my MBP.
If you've never launched AppleWorks on the MBP the .plist wouldn't be there. Neither would the AppleWorks folder in preferences. It's possible that if you've launched it but didn't alter any preferences or open any files, it could also be "missing."

If the phone is restored, it's like a brand new phone software/data-wise. You cannot track it.

Lost Recent items list in FW

I successfully upgraded FW to 11.1.0.205 some time ago (when I upgraded CS5 to CS5.5), but I've been experiencing a couple strange behaviors ever since. I'm on a pc using Vista.
(1) FW now requires admin permission whenever I launch it. No other program in the suite does that. It's an annoyance that I can live with, but would rather not have to click CONTINUE every time. I tried setting the program to run as Administrator, but it made no difference.
(2) The most annoying issue is that 'Open a Recent item' list is empty every time. Oh it retains my list if i don't shut off my computer. But if I do shut down my computer, FW's recent item list is empty at the next launch. I used to use this feature a lot for picking up where I left off the day before. Now I have to not only search for the document, but also seek the drive and folder since that information is not retained either.
Is there a solution to either of these problems? Maybe they are related.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

AFAIK, it's the norm. Recent documents only displays ones previously opened, not their current status or whether they still exist.

HT1320 I have a apple iPad Model A1219 Lost pass word how do I set new pass word

My daughter managed to mess about with my iPod Model A1219 AOGA and she put in pass word nubers
and when I saded her what she had done I asked her for the numbers she put in but she cannot
remember so I cannot open my iPod. How can i reset the pass word ? please

You'll need to connect it to the iTunes library you normally sync it with and restore it. If iTunes asks you for this passcode before it will let you proceed, connect the iPod to iTunes in recovery mode instead using the instructions in this Apple support document.

TS1292 Lost apple I'd pass words locked itunes

Please could u email me my security pass words forgot them.

These are user-to-user forums, you are not talking to Apple here.
If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

How do i get my pass word to work

my dad has a gmail but when he typs it in it dose not work can you send me his pass word or fix it on your end
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== june 21 20010

Mozilla Firefox is a web browser, and Gmail is a website (provided by Google). If you need Gmail to send you your password, you need to contact Gmail.
See http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=12381
One thing you could try in Firefox if you're having problems signing in to Gmail, is to clear your cache and cookies.
# Open the Tools menu, then select Clear Recent History... .
# In the '''Time Range to clear:''' drop-down, select '''Everything'''.
# Click the arrow next to '''Details''' to display the list of items that can be cleared.
# Select both '''Cookies''' and '''Cache'''.
# Click Clear Now .
