New to Macbook Pro--lost document i was typing on Pages? Where did it go and how do I get it back? I'm a wreck? I've looked everwhere on this computer. Are there backups on Pages?

I'm devastated because I apparently LOST a document I'd been working on for days on Pages. Is it possible? Are there backups in Pages?
Please any suggestions are most welcome. Thank you.

I'm AKH1,   Pls, I would like to thank all of you who replied to my urgent plea for assistance in locating a lost document.
I DID find it thanks to all of YOU! Thank you Thank you.    There are no words to tell how much I appreciate your taking the time to reply.
I am new to MAC and expect to experience 'speed bumps' but I'm a bit nervous after reading the experiences of so many with regard to Pages.
Given where I am in my career, I keep asking myself, wouldn't it be easier to put Microsoft Word on this Mac and simpify my life. I guess I'm asking if you know of any downside to putting Microsoft Word on a MAC?
I will definetly check the forum.   Thank you all again.   When I can, I will always respond to questions as you have for me. Thank you.

I have pages and now I have lost half my documents where did they go and how do I get them back

I have an IPad and use Pages. Now half of my documents are gone. Where did they go and how do I get them back.

If you backup your iPad, then the documents should be in your backup. If you have important documents in any app, you should backup very frequently in the event that something happens so that you can restore them from the backup.
If you use iOS file sharing with iTunes, then the documents might be in your iTunes library.
If you use iCloud with Pages, check in iCloud,com and see if they appear in there. I don't think it is likely that they will be there, if they disappeared from the iPad, but it is worth a try anyway.
In the event that this is some software glitch, try closing the Pages app, reboot the iPad and then launch Pages again.
Tap the home button once. Then tap the home button twice and the recents tray will appear at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the Pages icon. Tap the home button twice.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
If you don't backup, don't use iOS file sharing or don't use iCloud, then most likely your files are gone and you will not be able to retrieve them.

My iPhone 5 was restored from backup, and while it was restoring everything else all my pictures slowly went from 900 to none. where did they go and how do I get them back?

My iPhone has been acting very strange lately and the only way to get it to turn on and function is to restore it. I restored it from a backup of my phone before I restored it. I was mostly worried about my pictures. I was relieved to see them all there,
until the number of photos in my camera roll and other albums began to go down. soon enough, all the pictures I had restored were deleted. where did they go and how can I get them back?

Hi bluegrandpanash,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you backed up your iPhone to iCloud before updating the software, first try the steps under "Restore from an iCloud backup" in this article to recover your data:

Contact list is no longer on my email pages. where did it go and how do I get it back?

contact list used to come up on the left side of the WRITE page. its gone!.. I know most addresses by heart, but still need to look some up, so have to click out, search for contact list.. find it, remember it, then go back into Write and enter..etc.. I just want it back where it belongs. on the lift side of the email page..

Now the entire tool bar is gone, the more I try the more I lose things. Thanks for trying. I cant even get it back the way it was. I am shutting down for the night now, and hope it corrects itself overnight. thanks but F9 didn't do a thing.. I had XP or years and at my age trying to learn a new one is NOT easy.. tks...

Used to be that clicking the + tab button opened a page with previously and most often veiwed sites. Where did that go, and how do I get it back?!?

Read the question.

Upgrading to Firefox 5 might have disabled an add-on that provided this feature, if the add-on is not compatible with the new version of Firefox. You can wait for the add-on to be updated, or you could install one of the other add-ons that provides this feature, like '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/speed-dial/ Speed Dial]''' or '''[https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/fast-dial-5721/ Fast Dial]'''.

In the simplest sense, archiving a file means making a copy that you never change and never discard. You already know how to do that.
iPhoto has built-in archival features, in the sense that it saves all versions of an image that you've modified. As long as you have adequate backups, you don't necessarily have any reason to archive an iPhoto library. If you want to delete images from the working library but still have access to them in case you change your mind, then you do need to archive those images. I don't have a specific suggestion as to how you should do that. You might post a question in the iPhoto forum.

I just downloaded the new iOS 5.0 and did all of the backup prompted steps beforehand, but I can't figure out how to get all of my apps and music back on my iPhone. Where did they go and how can I put them back on my iPhone?

Hi, Abril_Perez17.
This may be related to a new feature embedded in iOS7 that shows all purchased music by default. Go to Settings > Music, then turn off Show All Music. See if the issue ceases once the feature has been disabled. This information is located on page 63 of the user guide below.

The person that found them has deleted them on the phone so you iCal is gone is what I can figure.

I accidently created files using a Free Trial version of InDesign. Now the files are gone. Where did they go? How do I get them back? I pay for this service...

Files you save don't disappear, even if you no longer have the software that created them. They're right where you saved them.

Hello there, tonjay82.
There are some great sources of information in the following article that might help you in resolving the issue at hand:
iOS: Understanding Restrictions
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4213
Particularly of note is the following:
You can enable and adjust Restrictions, or Parental Controls, on your device to prevent access to specific features or content on the device. Locate these settings by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
and
Additional Information
If your iOS device is missing a particular application or if a certain feature is not available, ensure that Restrictions are not enabled. Symptoms can include:
App missing from the Home screen (Safari, Camera, or YouTube for example)
Feature or service unavailable (Siri, Location Services, and so on)
Setting missing or grayed out (such as Mail, Contacts, and Calendar; iCloud; Twitter; FaceTime)
Important: Restrictions can also be enabled or enforced using a profile (typically installed when using the device for business or education purposes). You can check for installed profiles in Settings > General > Profiles.
Thank you for reaching out to us at Apple Communities on this issue.
Cheers,

I have a iPhone 4s connected my macbook pro. I lost my all data (picture, all massages) in my phone. Why did it happen and how can I get all back?

I have an iPhone 4s and I connnected my phone to my laptop, which is a macbook pro. This is the second iPhone 4s I have had. The first one had a problem and I had to replace it which is the one I have now. When I connected my phone to the laptop, my phone shut down and when it turned back on, all my information from the first 4s phone went to the phone I have now. All the text messages from the old one, photos, apps, etc. Now my information like messages, photos, apps, etc from the current phone is gone, and I need them. What can I do? How can I get that information back?

Is the MacBook the computer you have synced with in the past? If not you can use the computer that you have synced with to restore your apps. Are you sure you are using the same Apple ID that you used to purchase the Apps?

I have lost all my headings, like bookmarks, facebook etc. What happened and how do I get them back?

At the top of the screen it might say bookmarks, I would click on that and book marks would all be listed. I have lost the top part of my home page with all the things i need like my bank website etc.

I have read a lot of suggestions concerning my problem, the thing is I don't have the option of Re-downloading and in the file menu when I get my library options I don't even have the option of backing up my movie, music, apps, and I don'tt have the Purchased option under my quick links for some unknown reason. Open itunes store Click "Purchased" under "Quick Links", simply does not work for me. I certainly would like to contact itunes support who would kindly granted me a one time re-download of my purchased music. But then don't answer my cry for help, so again I am stuck with nothing after I bought over 1000.00 dollars worth of movies, music, apps and I don' t have acces to any of it. Thank you Apple for making me feel like a valued customer,
Thank you all for your help but it just doesn't work 4 m2.

HT4461 My daughter was using our iPad and now the Mac App Store icon is missing - where did it go and how do I restore it back to the main screen?

Need some assistance

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
I think you wanted to say App Store. Mac App Store is only available in Macs, not on an iPad.
She probably enabled restrictions. Open Settings > General > Restrictions, and disable them by using the password she set. If she doesn't remember it, you have to restore your device to default settings in Settings > General > Reset > Erase All Content and Settings, losing everything stored in the device
