My document has disappeared despite me saving it.

My document has disappeared. Saved it yet cannot find it anywhere. Help!

Well, you've told us next to nothing (e.g., what application you were running, what version of OS X you are running, whether you closed the app when you saved the document, etc.).
With this very limited information, I would suggest trying Spotlight (magnifying glass in upper right corner of screen).  Type in the name of the document and see what turns up.

  • The numbers version of my document has disappear, now i have only access to my document in pdf version,

    the numbers version of my document has completely dissappear, i can only have access to the pdf version, I went on time machine ,and again no more copy of my numbers document ?
    I realy do'nt know what has happenned, can I transform the pdf document  in the original numbers version ?

    If the Numbers doc is, indeed, backed up in Time Machine, then you should be able to go back in time through the backup history until you see the file.  Make sure you are in the folder where the file used to be.  Also look through email and see if you sent the file to anyone
    Also... make sure you did not accidentally move the file into the trash.  You can open the trash by clicking on, and holding, the mouse button while hovering over the trash can in the dock:

  • Text in document has disappeared

    Strange things are happening here.  My wife created and saved her resume' and the test has disappeard.  The document still shows in the finder with 29 kb of data showing in info.  This happened once before on the same document, but then the text mysteriously reappeared  Please help!

    Make sure your iWork applications are updated. For iWork '08 that is Pages 3.0.3 & Numbers 1.0.3. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.1 & Numbers 2.1. If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

  • My sign a document has disappeared.

    hi I recently updated my free adobe reader and I am no longer able to sign documents. The Tools has no longer got this facility.

  • Information in a document has disappeared

    When I click on a field, the information appears, but when I click on the next field, the previous information disappears. I need help filling in an entire document.

    >thank you. but it has to be a separate program in VB
    It would have been useful to say that. You specifically said "would
    use whatever api that works.".
    It might be that JavaScript gives access to the dirty flag, and you
    could use the VB:JavaScript linkage.

  • The text in my Word document has disappeared. Any suggestions for recovery? Its due in tomorrow morning!

    I have a essay I've been working on, using MS Word for Mac and today when I opened the file all the text is missing. The layout (position of text boxes etc) is still there and images of graphs I inserted are still there too. It's just the text I wrote that has vanished. Its due in tomorrow, any ideas guys?

    You should contact Microsoft for Mac Support  and/or post in their forums.

  • Font has disappeared, despite loading on every other program

    I've been working with one font on several different documents including indesign, and all of a sudden it was replaced by Times New Roman all throughout my indesign document that I have been working on for months. The font is still working in illustrator though. I'm using CS3. Help??

    Did you upgrade your system recently? (OS or hardware).
    Is the font Opentype? T1, TT?
    Do you have a backup of the font in its original format (a zip file or disk)?
    If so, try to: Deactiveate the font in fontbook, move those font files to the trash, restart your system and re-add a fresh version of the font into font book (from original disk, or expanded archive, etc.) although it sounds like you've possibly tried that at some point, it's not in your list above. I think "making sure it's in font book and verified" doesn't mean that some part of the font isn't still broken enough to trip up software using it. Also something might have happened to your CS3. Do you have install disks to reinstall?
    Lastly, if you have many many fonts and not much memory on your system, try turning off all fonts you aren't using for this project (except the fonts that the system needs and won't let you deactivate). This might help if you have tons of fonts on a system with very little memory.

  • IWorks has disappeared. How can I open documents saved as Word 97 from Pages stored on Dropbox?

    iWorks has disappeared.  How can I open document saved as Word 97 through Pages stored on Dropbox?

    Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
    I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)

  • PSD files saved in TemporaryItems has disappeared.

    Ahhhhhhhhhh PSD files saved in TemporaryItems has disappeared.
    Hi I was working in Photoshop CS5.1 (OS X 10.7.5) and the original image I started with was saved in TemporaryItems, long story short I spent 4 hours working on an illustration and saving the .psd files\ versions in the same TemporaryItems folder, planning to move all the files tonight. Just came back to it and the files are gone! I may cry pixel tears, desperately running out of swear words.
    If anyone can help I would be so very appreciative.
    Cheers Matt from Melbourne

    Silly question, but, are you sure that's where Photoshop was saving? I've had it happen before where I open a file from folder A, then do a Save As, only to find that (for whatever reason) Photoshop has been saving to some other folder entirely.
    Have you tried Open Recent Files in photoshop to see if maybe they were saved somewhere else?
    Or, try this; go to Photoshop, create a blank document, then immediately Save As and look at where it's pointing. If it is not at the Temporary folder you expect, look there for your files.
    Failing that, have you tried a search on your computer?
    Silly. But I'm trying to cover all the bases.

    The error message I get on my PC is "The ITunes library file cannot be saved" An unknown error occurred (-50)and my music library has disappeared.  I recently tried to copy a CD to my library - it appeared to copy ok but then did not appear in my music library.  The library does not show up even when my iPad is connected to my PC.  My entire library is now held on my iPad and I wish to have it in iTunes so I can sync my iPhone to it as well.  Help?

    Don't know what changed today but it downloaded and installed on the shuffle. So far so good.

    I was on a chat with Anil who was away so long, I thought he was done with me.  However. He did not provide me an answer.  I was away from my computer for a minute and then he ended the chat.  It has no information about my problem.  How can I contact someone in person.  I can find no phone number for Adobe.  Chat is below.

    1 - moved so the InDesign experts may be able to help
    2 - as far as I know, you will not be able to open a newer file in an older InDesign program... but, see #1 above

  • I keep getting a warnin that my pages document could not be auto saved. The file has been changed by another application. Click save anyway to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click revert to keep the c

    I keep getting a warning stating that the document could not be auto saved in pages. The file has been changed by another application. Then it says click save any way to keep your changes and save the changes made by the other application as a version, or click revert to keep the changes from the other application and save your changes to a version.
    What in the heck does all that mean, and why are they trying to behave like a Windows product or a Microsoft office product. I just don't get it.
    Why is another application changing my documents? It's like they've created a virus within their own programs. It's a pain in the neck and makes no sense.

    I am also having the issue of a warning saying "could not be auto-saved in Pages. The file has been changed in another application. I then hit "save anyway", the warning will go away for a time, sometimes minutes, sometimes hourr, but then the warming reapprears saying the same thing. This is not the case with all Pages documents but it is the case with many.

  • Everything saved in PAGES has disappeared!! Help!

    Hi again AnonyMouse,
    Can you startup to your install cd/dvd and Repair Disk using Disk Utility?
    Insert your insall cd/dvd #1 and then restart while holding down the "c" key. Hold down till you see the bootup grey screen and the spinning cursor and then release.
    When booted to the installer splash screen, go directly to the top Menu Bar and select Disk Utility from the Installer Menu. When Disk Utility opens select your HD in the left pane and then the First Aid tab and then click on Repair Disk.
    When Disk Utility finishes, note any errors it reports, and if any are not repaired rerun. Quit Disk Utility and then quit the Installer and the computer will restart.
    If the computer boots back up to your normal desktop you can then run Repair Permissions from your HD/Applications folder/Utilities/DiskUtility/Repair Permissions.
