Lost Pages Document when Computer Turned off---Can it be retrieved?

any chance documents that i'm working on in pages & haven't saved can be retrieved if the computer is turned off?
was working on something all day, left, came back to continue, but computer somehow had turned off and I can't find it.
is there a place that "drafts" in pages are saved? or documents in pages that have never been saved?
thanks for any help you can give me!

There is also an AppleScript able to autosave iWork's documents.
Not only it saves the doc in the native format but it saves a time stamped zip archive allowing us to recover file if the HD crash.
File recovery tools are unable to recover iWork's native documents but they are able to recover zip archives.

Computer turned off, can not start it again.

My computer has been strange the last months, Safari and Firefox turn's off between 5-10 times a day. It crash everyday, and then i have to
start the safari/firefox site again. Execpt for that, Iphoto also started to not work, at the same time as the other happend. I can not open Iphoto
anymore, and see the pictures. Yesterday, firefox crashed a lot of times, so i turned off the computer and when i wanted to start it again, it didn't
work. When i click on the powerbotton the computer starts, but it will only load some minutes, and then the only thing you see is a white screen
with the apple. I can not use my computer, whats the wrong with it? ONLY 1 YEAR old computer!!!

Okey, thanks! I clicked on some keys, cmd+R and then 4 alternatives came up.
1. Recovering from a time machine backup, You have a backup of the system you want to restore.
2. Install Mac Os X, Adjust or install a new copy of Lion.
3. Get help on the internet
4. Disk Utility, Repair or erase a disk with Disk Utility.
Should I choose one of thoose or wait until I go to the Mac support shop and ask for help? If i choose one of the exemples will everything get deleted?
Do #2, only OS X is replaced, not your programs or files.

HT4865 I lost everything my pictures, messages, ect. When I turned off my location settings. Can I get any of those back?

My phone deleted everything when I turned off location services. How do I get it back? Also now there is a new device in my storage. How do I find out what that is?

Check here and see if you got an automatic backup when you pluuged into iTunes. (Fingers Crossed)
Documents and Settings\USERNAME\Application Data\Apple Computer\MobileSync\Backup
If the recent backup is there, simply restore your phone from that backup. It sounds to me that instead of syncing the phone just by connecting it to the computer, you may have restored the phone to your ancient backup. No problem if you have the newer backup, but a huge problem if you don't have the recent backup.
If, in fact, you did restore the phone instead of getting a backup thru the (automatic) sync process, I'd strongly suggest getting the difference between the two straight in your mind.
My other suggestion would be to understand that your iPhone is "managed" thru iTunes. You need to connect the two whenever possible instead of using the charger.

My ipad 2 just "freeze" last nite, can't be turned off, can't do anything, the page showing is a notice about icloud Backup , but when I touched the Ok prompt, nothing happens, ipad is on 100 battery capacity, it's been almost 24 hrs. any suggestions?

My Ipad 2 freeze since last nite, been almost 24 hrs, last thing it did was this ""icloud back up notice ""appeared on screen, since then, I can't touch OK to get back to where I was , Ipad can't be turned off, can't do anything, first time happened with a frozen screen , it's still within 12 mths old.
any suggestions how to un freeze it, thanks ...?

At first , after I followed instruction to reboot for several times as each time the Apple logo did not appear at all. So gave up. But half an hr or so later, turn it on to check, it seems back to normal once again.
I am very happy. Thank you for all your help ! Can't live without this device !!
Many thanks.

Hey everyone in Apple world!
I figured out how to fix the flashing yellow screen problem that I've been having on my MBP! Yessssss!!!
I found this super handy website with the golden answer: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
I followed the instructions on this page and here's what I did:
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
I went through the 6 steps above twice, just to make sure I got rid of whatever stuff was holding up my bootup process. Since I did that, my MBP boots up just like normal. No flashing yellow screen anymore!!
(Note that I arrived at this solution when I first saw this page: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570?viewlocale=en_US)
Let me know if this works for you!

My Airport Time Capsule only works when I turn off and turn on, but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve?

Time Capsule Airport
Hello to all, good day, sorry my english google, but it is the tool I have at the moment. I'm having trouble with my Time Capsule Airport, I made all the settings according to the manual, but there has been a connection problem with my iMac. When I finish my work I turn off the imac and then again when they return to work and care, it can not connect to Time Capsule Airport, making it impossible to remove the files and make back up by Time Machine only works when I turn off and turn on the Airport Time Capsule , but I think this may end up with the unit. What can this happening and how to solve? Thank you.
Olá a todos, bom dia, desculpe meu inglês google, mas é a ferramenta que tenho no momento. Estou tendo dificuldades com a minha Airport Time Capsule, fiz todas as configurações de acordo com o manual, mas tem existido um problema de conexão com meu iMac. Quando termino meus trabalhos desligo o imac e depois quando retorno pra trabalhar novamente e ligo, ele não se conecta a Airport Time Capsule, impossibilitando retirar os arquivos e fazer o back-up pelo Time Machine, só funciona quando desligo e ligo a Airport Time Capsule, mas acho que isso pode acabar com o aparelho. O que pode esta acontecendo e como resolver? Obrigado.

This is easier to do with pictures perhaps.. since we do not share a common language and machine translation leaves a lot to be desired.
In the airport utility bring up your Time Capsule.
Simply post the screenshots here.
So here is mine.
Click on the Edit button and give us the Internet and Wireless and Network tab..
eg.
Please also make sure you are set to ipv6 in your wireless or ethernet .. whichever is used.. and do tell which.
This is wifi in your computer.
The following are important..
DO not use long names with spaces and non-alphanumeric names.
Use short names, no spaces and pure alphanumeric.
eg TC name. TCgen5
Wireless name TCwifi
Use WPA2 Personal security with 10-20 character pure alphanumeric password.
read apple instructions to help with TM and TC.. they did finally admit it has issues in Mavericks.
OS X Mavericks: Time Machine problems
Mount the TC manually in finder.
AFP://TCgen5.local
When asked for the password .. that is the disk access password and save it in the keychain.
Reset Time Machine

When I turn off my mini, and at other random times, i get a message saying I need to restart my computer

When I turn off my mini, and at other random times, i get a simple message that says I need to restart my computer. any suggestions?

The message to restart your computer, in multiple languages, is a kernel panic. This is usually, but not always, caused by hardware, with memory being the leading cause.
You might want to run the Apple hardware test, which is on the original gray-faced OS X disks that came with the mini. FInd the one that says 'AHT Version x.x' in small print on the label, insert and reboot holding the alt/option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted, choose the extended test. You can also download Rember from http://kelleycomputing.net/rember/ if you want to really test the memory. Set it up and let it run over night.
See this kernel panic FAQs for other ideas: http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html

Documents uploaded to icloud disappear when I turn off the IPAD

documents uploaded to icloud disappear when I turn off the IPAD,I can see the documents only when icloud is open on the PC

When you turn off any device, it will disconnect from the internet. My sense is that you're not quite explaining what's happening. Do you mean that when you turn it back on again it doesn't automatically reconnect? Do you mean the if it just goes to sleep (as opposed to being powered off) that it switches from WiFi to cellular? Or are you saying that you think that when you turn off the iPad, the router disconnects?
If you're trying to say that the iPad disconnects from WiFi when asleep and switches to cellular, the solution is to keep it plugged into a power source.
Best of luck.

While syncing last time the computer turned off during the process and now when I try to get ont oitunes the phone is read only as a camera device and I cant sync my phone. I have tried re installing itunes and have turned every thing off and on. Help!!

While syncing my Iphone the computer turned off and now Itunes doesnt read the connection. A message appears that I have plugged in my camera on my pc.I have gone through turning every thing off and on and re installing Itunes but still no luck. Any suggestions?

If iTunes cannot see your iPhone.
First, try soft-resetting your iPhone. Press and hold sleep/wake and home button, ignore the slide bar - keep pressing.
When you see the Apple logon, let go. When the phone has restarted, plug into PC. Will iTunes see iPhone now?
If not, you'll have to do a DFU restore - please note that this will wipe everything on your iPhone. If you have a recent backup (iTunes does this by default), then you're in luck and you can restore everything back.
If not, then...hmm well... Oh bum. Maybe you have an iCloud backup? I haven't tried this so I can't comment.

I subscribed to Music Match with iTunes and yet my ipad settings for Music only still has the option to subscribe, and therefore I cannot click on an option to Activagte iTunes Match, since it is not there. I have all the right number of songs from the icloud showing up in my ipad now, and I have played a few, but when I tried to turn off the computer, it showed a field stating that my ipad music would stop playing too, and it did. I thought this might have something to do with homesharing, but this I thought was something separate from iCloud.
There is something wrong, but I don't understand what. It has just synced, but the problem persists.

Home sharing is separate from iTunes Match. Sounds like you were playing music using home sharing, which turned off when you turned off your computer.
Open iTunes on your computer and go to the Store menu. Confirm that there is a setting called Turn Off iTunes Match. That will confirm that iTunes Match is enabled on your computer. Then check to see what Apple ID you subscribed to iTunes Match with. It will be the ID in Store>View Account (in parentheses).
On your iPad, confirm that you are signed in with this same ID in Settings>iTunes & App Store (at the top). If so, you should see an iTunes Match setting listed with an on/off slider. Slide it on to enable iTunes Match on your iPad.

TS1717 While downloading the latest iTunes version, my computer turned off. When I opened iTunes, it says that "The file "iTunes Library.itl" cannot be read because it was created by a newer version of iTunes" Help please :(

That message is usually a sign that you tried to roll back to an earlier build of iTunes, but occasionally I've seen it connected to a new upgrade. This technique should fix things.
Empty/corrupt library after upgrade/crash
Hopefully it's not been too long since you last upgraded iTunes, in fact if you get an empty/incomplete library immediately after upgrading then with the following steps you shouldn't lose a thing or need to do any further housekeeping. In the Previous iTunes Libraries folder should be a number of dated iTunes Library files. Take the most recent of these and copy it into the iTunes folder. Rename iTunes Library.itl as iTunes Library (Corrupt).itl and then rename the restored file as iTunes Library.itl. Start iTunes. Should all be good, bar any recent additions to or deletions from your library.
See iTunes Folder Watch for a tool to catch up with any changes since the backup file was created.
When you get it all working make a backup!

Something certainly is wrong. Do not plug the external HHD in the MBP. Male an appointment at an Apple store genius bar and bring the Lacie with you.

How can I stop Yosemite resizing windows when I turn off my screen?

I have a 2012 mac mini running Yosemite. It's hooked up to an LG TV via the thunderbolt port and an adapter.
When I turn off the TV and the turn it back on again, all of my windows get moved over to the leftmost 2/3rds of the screen (approx). It's super annoying constantly moving windows back to where I left them.
Can someone explain why this is happening and suggest how I can fix it?

Windows stuck in top left hand corner of screen

Your problem is that she used your icloud ID to connect to icloud and thus had all your data synced to her device. Contacts are not saved in a backup to icloud, since they are stored independently in the Contacts section of icloud. If someone deletes them, they are gone. If you had them on the PC would they be available in some backup you frequently make of the PC?

Hi Linda,
Unplugging it from AC power will drain the PRAM Battery in short order, thereby losing setting, like Monitor resolution.
You can test the Pram Battery by disconnecting from the Internet so Date/Time doesn't update before you see it, shutdown, unplug AC for a bit, startup & check Time.
In Sys Pefs>Displays, can you set the resolution?
