Pages iCloud document overwritten with older version

I have been working on a document in Pages for OS X for a couple of months now. I also opened it a few times on my iPhone, but not in the last few weeks. Just now I opened it on my iPhone again, but I was presented with an old version (from when I opened it on the iPhone the last time). I closed the document and to my shock, I saw that it was being uploaded to iCloud.
Immediately, I go to my Mac to see that the document had indeed been overwritten by a four-week-old version of the document. Now it looks like four weeks of work are lost.
Does anyone know if Apple keeps backups of iCloud document and if I can ask Apple support to access them? Or can I somehow access them myself?
Certainly the last time that I will store a document in iCloud that actually has any professional relevance.

Looks like I answered my own question - surprisingly enough, Time Machine works for iCloud, and I could recover a reasonably new version of my document.
Still, like I said, it is a clear indication to me that iCloud is not fit for professional usage. To me, it's a huge bug that Pages does not check if it had actually opened the most recent version of a document before uploading a new version into iCloud.

Open Pages documents from an older version

I need to open Pages documents from an older version of Pages that I saved to an external drive from a computer that I no longer have access to. My current operating system is 10.7.5 and I can't upgrade it right now. I see that Pages 5.0 requires 10.10 or higher and I can't find older versions to download and from what I've read, it doesn't sound like I'd be able to open the old documents with the new version anyway. I really need these documents. What can I do?

I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files. They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office. That's what I had to do. After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us. I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.

Why iCloud only allows store documents created by Pages, Numbers or Key Note ? How can I "iCloud" documents created with Word Mac or Excel mac??

iwork for ios accepts for upload and also happily opens all your Microsoft office files, from Office97 standard doc/xls/ppt to the 2011 versions of docx,xlsx,pptx and various other of these format extensions.
Notice : the upload feature in www.icloud.com is only active if you in fact own these apps on your iPhone/Pad/pod. it is not a feature of iWork for the Mac ( iwork09 ) which itself is not icloud capable at all.

Trying to update to 4.0 on my Mac. When trying to drag new icon to applications folder, it says 4.o already in place (it isn't), nad do I want to relace with older version. I do this and then it says change can't be done because Firefox is in use. ??

That version cannot be upgraded further if it's a 2G model. The 3G model can be upgraded to iOS 5.x.x. You can't have a 2G model because the maximum iOS version is 4.2.1.

I can't use Yahoo messenger (it doesn't open the dialogue window), but in other PCs with older versions of Firefox I don't have problems

As stated earlier even though when I have an incoming message I hear the "Beep" Firefox does not open the dialogue window as it used to do.
Also I am not able to open a new dialogue window or tab by clicking on an online contact of mine.

TS3988 icloud only works with one version of outlook

I uninstalled 2013 outlook and re-installed 2010 but I still get an error message when trying to launch icloud. The error says icloud cannot work with two versions of outlook (which i don't have now) any thoughts?

You need to remove all traces of both versions of Outlook, then install 2010 again.

Why can't I upload and view older versions of keynote to iCloud but I can older versions of PowerPoint?

Why can't I upload and view older versions of keynote to iCloud but I can older versions of PowerPoint? This just seems wrong.

Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

Files Created in Photoshop CC Not Compatable With Older Versions of Photoshop?

I have heard that the new Photoshop CC uses a new file system that is not compatible with older versions of Photoshop so you can only edit them in the new Cloud version of Photoshop CC. Is this true?

i opened a fine in PSCS 13.1.2.I edited it a bit, converted a layer to a SO and used liquify on that layer.
I saved it as a tiff. Did not try it as a psd.
PSCS5 opened the tiff without complaint, including the SO+liquified layer. When i clicked on the liquify at bottom of the SO layer to try to edit it I got the notice "CANNOT FIND THE FILE", or something like that.
So, I guess pscs5 is already done for.

Unable to upload a music album to music library. i was able to upload with older version of iTunes.

unable to upload a music album to music library. i was able to upload with older version of iTunes. with the latest update this issue started happening

You're probably trying to purchase iTunes Plus songs - which, yes, will require an updated version of iTunes to purchase. To play them, however, you won't need to update iTunes. This, like you said, will force you to purchase them on another computer and then transfer.

Can we use latest version of Add-Ons and Toolkits with older version of LabVIEW core?

Hi every body
I'm new to LabVIEW
I have a question .
Can we use (indeed install) latest version of Add-Ons and Toolkits(for example 2009 or 8.6.1 version) with older version of LabVIEW core(for example LabVIEW 8.6)?
No problem ?!
I have LabVIEW 8.6(Evalution) and I want istall Real Time Module 2009.
Message Edited by mostafi on 10-31-2009 02:49 AM
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I think perhaps 8.6 and 8.6.1 is compatible. But I am 100% sure that 2009 and 8.6.(1) is not downwards compatible
Besides which, my opinion is that Express VIs Carthage must be destroyed deleted
(Sorry no Labview "brag list" so far)

Move documents along with its version through workflow

hi
suggest which of the 2 ways is possible through Designer workflow,
1)can i move a document along with its version to another library where same settings are enabled.
2)can i move a document from a library and add as a new version to another item present in another library.
Thanks

Hi Krishna,
When you move a document to another library by a SharePoint Designer Workflow, the version history is
not maintained. This behavior is by design, because the version history of a document is relative
to its original document library. The moved document is considered as a new document in
the destination library.
The only solution is to move the documents via Windows Explorer or through Manage Content & Structure.
Open the two document libraries in Windows Explorer and move your files from source to destination or move your files through Manage Content & Structure.
The Manage Content & Structure feature is only available in Enterprise edition.
NOTE: The version will be maintained if you MOVE the files. If the files are COPIED
it will not maintain the version.

Visual Studio 2015 compatibility with older versions

Hi,
I have already installed Visual Studio 2010 and 2013 on my Windows Server 2012.
I want to know can I install Visual Studio 2015 on same machine? is there possible any conflict with older version?
I have many projects in old version and need to open and work on them too. Thanks.

You should be able to install Visual Studio 2015 alongside 2013 and 2010. However, I'd advise against it until the release version of Visual Studio 2015 becomes available. There may be issues down the road upgrading the preview version of VS 2015 with the final
retail version.

I downloaded the latest version of Pages 5.0 and have been using it for days. Now, when I try to open documents created with this version, I'm advised that I need latest version of Pages to open. What's going on?

First time user. Need help. I downloaded latest version of Pages 5.0 and have been using it. Now, when I try to open documents created by it, I'm advised that I have to downoad Pages 5.0. What's going on?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

ICloud apps Not Compatible with older versions if iWorks

CAUTION
If you haven't upgraded to the new version of iWorks that was released with Mavericks today, do NOT open any of your files in iCloud. If you do, you will no longer be able to open them with your older versions of the iWorks apps.
For example, Apple today released Pages version 5.0. The last version of Pages was 4.3 (released in Dec 2012). If you create a new document in Pages 4.3, save it to iCloud and then open it in iCloud using Safari, you will no longer be able to open the same document in Pages 4.3. When you try, you'll get an error that you need a newer version of Pages.
In other words, it's now imperative that you upgrade to the latest version of the iWorks apps that were released today as the earlier versions are NOT compatible with the iCloud apps.
Hope this helps.

The FAQ for iPad Pages has always made it clear that Pages import and export formats were Pages 09 only. Nobody here can tell why Apple made it that way, but you can give them your views here:

With version 4 why can't I go back more than one page at a time. Used to be able to jump back with older version.

I don't want to refresh - I want to be able to jump back several pages - i.e..on one site - link took me to another site - done with that one - want to go back quickly to the original site..?
