My Documents have disappeared?

I opened my MacAir this morning and the Documents section has disappeared. Does anybody have any idea?

Can you be more specific?
Do you mean from the sidebar in Finder?
In Finder > Preferences > Sidebar > Check Documents
From the Dock?
In Finder > Go > Home > drag the documents folder back into the right side of the dock near the Trash

Word documents have disappeared from my desk top (macbook air) and cannot be found anywhere, happened after switching off and re-bootingk

Saved word documents have dissappeared from the desk top after saving. Problem seems to occur when laptop is switched off and then re-started. they can't be found anywhere e.g tried spotlight, recent documents etc. Help. Joe

First, you might as well address the two apparently-minor issues you found:
Some info on the Epson Scanner Monitor (via searching these forums):

Not sure about the MS Word message, but it looks like you might need an upgrade. I'd check with Microsoft, or perhaps VersionTracker.com.
Ok, back to the original problem. Does the message have any other text (intelligible or not)?
Does it give you any options, especially "report"? If so, take it, then look via Console for a crash log.
What IS in the system log for the sleep/wake time? There should be a System Sleep, followed by a System Wake, and perhaps another line or two. Anything in that area might be helpful.

Me, too! Exact same thing. Cannot watch any video on iTunes.

My Documents have disappeared since upgrade to iOS 8 in pages - as I use them every day this is an emergency. I seem to activated cloud drive which now means I cannot access my documents - why no warning?

ssince installing iiOS 8 and clod drive I have lost the link to Mac micro and all my pages documemts! This is an emergency!

It seems as if the two systems need to be installed together, i.e. Yosemite and IOS 8.
However, like you, I have installed IOS 8 on my iPad and iPhone, and now I find I cannot access my Pages, Keynote, Numbers and MacFamilyTree documents on my iMac and MacBook Pro until Yosemite is released.
Apple have trumpeted the closer integration of the two operating systems, yet they have not released the two simultaneously. This is going to cause a lot of problems for users of iCloud, and seems to be an own goal for Apple.

Help, I just updated to iOS 8 and all my pages documents have disappeared! This is a disaster ! Can I get them from the cloud? If so how and can I do it without a PC or laptop?

I Have just updated to iOS 8 and have lost all my Pages docs this is a huge disaster. Is there any way to get them back ? I hope that they are in the cloud but I have never used it to get anything back before. Can any one help. Is it possible to do this without a PC or laptop?

You really need to try this on a computer, not on the iPad.
Seeing how what is in the cloud is also on the iPad, if the content is not on the iPad, there is a good chance that the content is lost. But you can try logging into www.icloud.com in a web browser on a computer and log into your account and see if you can get into the Pages app. You may have to sign up for iCloud drive if you didn't do so already. Make SURE you that you read the blurb that will pop up in that window in iCloud for more information.

After saving, word documents have been disappearing from my macbook air

After saving, word documents have been disappearing from my macbook air. Have checked outlook temp files, temporary files don't show them, can't find them anywhere. Includes coursework files that I have lost because I don't back up regularly. Even the finder cannot find them, word recent documents doesn't show them. 100% positive I saved htem. Please help someone!!!

Hi there. If you have save file selected in word you should be able to find it. Here is some options. http://superuser.com/questions/845543/accidentally-clicked-dont-save-in-new-word -document You could select the finder, then Go from the top menu and then go to folder from the drop down list. Then type in private/var/folders then enter.

When I click on Documents, MUSIC and MY MUSIC used to appear. MUSIC seems to have disappeared. How do I get it back?

HI,
ON a Mac the Home folder (the one with a Little House icon) tends to be where most people have "Documents", "Desktop" "Pictures", "Music", "Movies", "Downloads", "Sites" and "Public" folders (Plus anything else they put in there and possibly the library if they set it to display the Library).
"My Music" sounds like a Windows reference and you list Windows as your OS
Seems like the question is better suited to a Microsoft forum.

Windows 7; Printers Have Disappeared; Printer Spooler won't stay running.

I'm using Windows 7 Home Premium and an Epson Stylus Photo R220 printer. I also had a few virtual printers (ie: Snagit) installed before the problems started.
All of the printers (from my Devices and Printers) have disappeared, except for a generic "USB Printer" selection that shows it is my Epson R220. I can't print to it, and when I try to print a document and try to "Add Printer", a warning pops up saying "Can't
Add Printer. The local print spooler service is not running. Please restart the spooler or restart the machine." I've tried both with no success.
Sometimes, when I try to start the Print Spooler, I get a message "Error 1067: The process terminated unexpectedly." or it starts and just stops again.
I have also tried reinstalling the driver for my printer as specified from Epson's website, but the installer can't detect my printer, and if I try manually finding the port, nothing comes up, which I find odd since my computer recognizes when the printer
is attached.
Lastly, and I'm hoping it's not connected although I think it likely is, last night my computer had troubles starting Windows. So I did as it directed and I loaded my Windows CD into the computer and had it "Repair the problem". After several minutes, Windows
booted fine again.
Now I really don't want to have to reinstall Windows, as that will remove all of my program files, so I'm hoping that's not the only solution. Any ideas?

I have wrestled with this issue on a client's computer for a few days now and I am coming to the conclusion that a Windows Update (do not know which one) has caused the problem.
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit installation
Printers disappeared from Devices and Printers and from the list of printers within applications. A reboot does nothing and there is a DCOM error that occasionally pops up, but the client has only seen it and I don't know the specifics.
Any attempt to start the Print Spooler gives me a 1053 error, which is "The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion."
Doing a NET START SPOOLER from a command prompt gives me "The service is not responding to the control function."
As a last resort I did an in-place upgrade of Windows 7 (run setup on the installation DVD from Windows - not from boot - and choose the upgrade option. All Windows system files are restored and user information is left in tact.)
This completely solved the problem. After doing this, however, the Windows Updates need to be brought up to date, so I went through the updating process. 15 minutes after I left, the client called me and said his printers were gone again.
I have come back today to figure this out and after trying a couple more things I decided to do a System Restore, the last of which was created before the installation of Windows Updates. After running restore, the system rebooted and all printers
were there and the spooler was running normally.
Because I thought there was some other issue, I again ran Windows Update to bring back the same updates I had done before.
Guess what? No printers, spooler not working.
I am now going to restore again to before the 64 windows updates that installed and turn off the automatic update function until Microsoft figures out what is wrong and comes up with a patch.
This is what I believe the problem is. I am going to look at the list of updates and check to see if Microsoft did a DCOM update, because that might be the problem, since DCOM is a dependency of the spooler and because there was some kind of DCOM error.

I had a substantial amount of spreadsheets on my iPad mini and the numbers app as well as a substantial number of pages documents in the pages app. The key word there was had! All my files have disappeared. And on top of that every time I go into preferences to turn on the cloud option it keeps turning itself off. Does anybody know what is going on I would love to have my documents back please help.

1. Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On

My Layer Dropdown Arrows Have Disappeared?!

So I'm not sure if this has been brought up before on these forums but didn't see anything when googling the question.
For some reason my Illustrator CS6 Layer arrows have disappeared. Not allowing me to drop down all the objects within a layer to unlock certain objects within that layer. Not sure if I'm explaining this very well but if you view the two images of my screen, you'll see that I'm only have this problem with one file. The other is fine (as well as all my other files) and gives me my drop down arrows allowing me to go in and select or unlock individual objects within that layer. Please does anyone know why this is doing this? I need to finish this project by the end of the week but I can't finish it if I can't edit multiple objects within layers. Could it possibly be a bug? I don't think so. I may just have disabled it accidentally somehow.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Go to the Layers Panel menu > Panel Options and see if the Show Layers Only option is enabled. If so, disable it.
It is a document specific setting.

Work Item or Document is disappear from Inbox

Hiya,
Any ideas on why the workflow item or document is disappear from inbox SBWP once you clicked to display/view the document without perform any task action.
Cheers,

Hiya Raj,
"you can check log of executed workitem from SBWP, go to OUTBOX-> "WORK ITEMS EXECUTED BY ME" .there you can find workitems you performed from your INBOX."
Those work items which have executed are flow to OUTBOX -> Work Items Executed By ME.
Where is the place to check logs?
However as mentioned those messages in both inbox folder "Unread Document" or "Document" is disappear after you clicked on either those folders without read the message or perform any action. Any ideas?
Cheers..

Acrobat Pro Ver 9 for Win 7 the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Document etc) Disappears when I move the Window

Lately in Acrobat Pro Ver 9 for Win 7 the menu bar (File, Edit, View, Document etc) disappears when I move the window . . only happens when I have a pdf file open . . everything worked fine until a few days ago . . F9 fixes the problem until I move the window again . . I realize my version is old so I tried tried downloading XI reader and having the same issue . . any help would be appreciated

Hi Ernestprinter,
Check if you have multiple Java versions installed on your computer.
Try clean boot http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135
Also i would suggest uninstall security software and install it back.
Currently you may use F9 key to restore Menu bar.

Ajlan Huda.
