Recovering an unsaved file in Numbers

I was trying to export a Numbers spreadsheet to iwork.com and I tried to save it but Numbers suddenly crashed and I don't know how to recover it. TextEdit, when it crashes, has a recovery system in place. Does Numbers and iWork as a whole? Any solutions would be extremely useful and before you write anything I was out of the house when I was writing it so I couldn't back up with Time Machine and nor could I use the progressive backup since I hadn't saved it because I thought it would be ok in Numbers. I was obviously wrong. If it is any use I'm still using the trail as I'm waiting for the serial number which I am buying along with iLife '09. Thank you in advance for any solutions!

Sorry, you can only go back to your last save or backup file. If you never saved, your out of luck. Sorry.

  • Recover a unsaved file in Pages '09 v4.2

    Hi All,
    I hope someone can help me to recover a couple of unsaved files. I was working on Pages '09 with several Pages opened and in an accidental click I closed two of these with out save. Do you know how to recover files from a Temp Folder or any Similar?
    Thanks in advance,
    -Daniel.

    Since you're using Lion & Pages 4.2 autosave will have saved the files if you have saved them at least once. There is a folder of "unsaved documents" in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences but I have no idea how it works. The one time I tried opening one of the files I got an error, but you might have a different result. In Lion you need to go to Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.

  • Recovering deleted files in Numbers

    Can I recover a file in Numbers that I accidentally deleted?  Is there a copy in my iPad backup in iTunes?

    There is just one official way of doing that - go to iTunes, and click on "Restore my iPad to factory settings" or so. Then (after recovery, iPad appears to be like a new Setup...) select something like setup my iPad from backup. Then make sure you have Number on the iPad and the file should be there.
    When choosing backup, don't forget to choose the right one!

  • Recover an unsaved auto recovered file

    I was using word 365 (university) when my macbook pro shut down due to lack of battery. I recovered all the files just fine when logging back in by telling it to open all the iwndows that had previously been opened.
    However, I continued to work on my file without saving it (it's now an autorecovery doc). When the same happened again a few days later and I asked it to open up all open windows, it didn't come back up.
    Using Disk Drill, I found a file that seems to contain some of the info I had but I have to pay to get it to recover it and can't tell if the whole file is there (seems it may just be that first bit, the first autorecovery).
    I basically want to know if there would be a copy of my whole file anywhere on the system because, if so, I can take it into a computer shop and get them to get it for me. Unless there's a fairly simple way I could do it myself (have already looked under the /var/private section and it's not there - disk drill seemed to pick up a lot of docs that weren't there actually, some from a very long time ago).
    Thank for any help/suggestions (I know it was stupid not to save it).

  • Why can I not save my changes to an Excel file in Numbers?

    I opened an Excel file in Numbers and made some modifications.  Now, trying to save it to a numbers file, I get the message, "The file 'filename.numbers' couldn't be opened.  How can I save this file?

    oddly, i needed to restart my computer for another issue (i could not hear any sound no matter what i did).  luckily, apple has had the insight to include automatic recovery of files and i was able to re-open these applications and have my unsaved files intact.  even more strangely, i was able to save my file with the original name.
    as a pc & windows convert, this whole thing was a little disconcerting.  perhaps i am just used to that environment, but i have never had something like this happen there.  (though perhaps i have had other things... )
    thanks for the attempts to help!

  • Recovering lost pdf file

    Is there any way to recover a lost file after a crash if one ALSO accidentally clicked 'no' to the promopt to open an unsaved file?  Are these stored somewhere and therefore recoverable?  Thank you

    Not very likely, but you can try the temp folder, which is:
    C:/Users/_USER NAME_/AppData/Local/Temp/Adobe/Acrobat/11.0

  • Recover crashed pages file

    I am using Pages. it suddently crashed. How can i recover unsaved file?

    How many times will it be necessary to repeat that the first thing to do after opening a new document is to save it even if it contains a single character.
    Then, save at least every ten minutes.
    Happily, Apple took care of that and decided that users are so dumb that the system must do most of the tasks by itself.
    Now, no need to save, big brother does it for you. Say thank you to dumb users which pushed Apple to do that.
    The positive point is that the mac story got a new chapter
    Before 2002 we said Apple Works

  • Recover a single file in Content Services

    I've been asked to document how we would go about recovering a single file in Content Services. The Trash/Archive angle I'm clear on, but what about an extreme case. Lets say that someone created a file, trashed it, emptied the trash, and then it expired from the Archive before the user realized that they needed the file.
    Is it possible, and if so how would one go about getting the file back assuming that there is a full db backup once a day?
    Would enabling BFILE aging help? If so, how?
    On a related note: If archive is set to expire content after 1 month, but BFILE aging is turned off, when does deleted content get purged from the Archive? It's not 1 month, as I have deleted files in the Archive going back to January.

    Archive expiration and BFile aging are orthogonal. BFile pushes the LOBs of documents that are in the archive to bfile. Archive expiration deletes files from the archive after the configured time. If this is not the behaviour you are seeing please file a TAR and they can help check whether your system is configured correctly or if you are running into a bug.

  • Excel file with numbers on ipad.

    I sent an excel file with numbers to my ipad.  When I open it with Numbers there is no data in the cells.  HELP!!

    How did you send it? Email? iTunes?

  • Can I open a Dropbox file in Numbers on an iPhone?

    I want to work on a file with Numbers, sometimes on my iPhone and sometimes on my desktop Mac. I want just one copy of the file. it's experimental data and i want to be able to work on it from either platform.
    I've got the file in a Dropbox folder, but when I open it on the iPhone under the Dropbox app, it opens only for viewing. Somehow I'd like to open that file with Numbers on the iPhone.
    Got any ideas?

    Yes, you can.  But not with Layers, obviously.  :~)
    However, you have to go through the File menu in Photoshop:
    File > Open
    Then, in the Open dialog box, go to the bottom-LEFT button and select Camera Raw.
    Do NOT select "Photoshop Raw" !  You want Camera Raw.

  • Animated gif's from unsaved file?

    I used to be able to create animated gif's easily from unsaved files. I would simply select all the layers I wanted to use and process them.
    After upgrading to CS6, I'm totally lost. I've followed half a dozen tutorials, but nothing works. The only way I can even load a frame into the Windows Timeline feature is to first save several images from my unsaved file, then reload them by choosing File > Scripts > Load Files into Stacks. But even then I can't find a Make Frames from Layers option when I click the down arrow on the right side of the palette.
    Is there a simple way to create animated gif's from layers in an unsaved file on CS6, or do I need to reinstall my older Photoshop version in order to created animations?
    Thanks.

    Yes, I clicked Frame Animation Mode, but that's as far as I can get. It doesn't work the same as my older version of Photoshop. The only buttons that appear to function on the left side of the palette are "Split at playhead" and "Select a transition," and they actually don't do anything.
    The tutorials tell me to click the down arrow on the right side of the palette and choose "Make Frames from Layers," but that choice isn't listed. The choices that are listed include "Loop Playback" and "Allow Frame Skipping."
    I've tried several tutorials and have experimented with just about every button and arrow I can find, but I can't get any farther than the image you posted.

  • Can't open file from Numbers iWork08 in Numbers for Mac

    I am unable to open Numbers files created in iWork08 (Numbers 1.0.3) in the new Numbers for Mac.  I keep getting a message that says I need to save the file in Numbers 09 first.  I don't have Numbers 09.  Is there a way to do this?  It doesn't seem right I would need to go back and buy Numbers 09 to save these files in the new Numbers for Mac app which I've already purchased.
    Thank you.

    Lots of questions here, will see what I can add.
    For the file problem go to preferences/file type associations.  You should have the option selected CS6 for the extenstion as the default.  Might try the radio button on the bottom first to set them to default settings.
    If the 1.77g file you are refering to is the one you downloaded and used for installation you can delete it.  It is a wise choice to save it to a DVD first so in case you need it in the future you will have it.  Also save the serial number in safe place.  Acutally safe is not the right word, need to save in place where you can find it if you need it next year.  HD can fail.
    There are still thrid party plug-ins that do not work in 64 bit mode, hence the 32 bit version.  Also there is no 64 bit TWAIN so some still like to use that for scanning.
    Some users experience file association and other problems with an uninstall of past versions.  So it is safest to leave them be.
    If you want to clean up a little resist the urge to move any Adobe programs once is is installed.  Can really foul it up.

    What I done to try resolve this problem:
    1. Checked permissions and repaired.
    2. Tried to open file in iCloud web-editor - no result. iCloud says that it can't open this spreadsheet.
    3. Tried to convert file via some online file type converters to xls document (i will not put link here). Converter says that I have wrong file format.
    Also I tried to open file in some other programs. No luck.
    That's all.
    File Work.numbers has been closed correctly and was no errors. Unfortunately, we have no any backup copy of this file anywhere. I know, this is stupid, but question now: How can I repair this document? Is any repair tools for iWork files?
    The file seems like has right structure.

    Unzipping Index.zip is passing without errors. It has many "iwa" files with binnary content and I can't get data from it. But, data in that file is very important for one person.
    Could anybody help me to resolve my problem to restore Numbers document?

    Hi rabg,
    I am using OS X 10.8 on a Mac. This may be different if you are using iOS.
    Does Numbers'09 still exist in your Applications folder? Maybe inside a new folder? Perhaps you could use Numbers'09 to open your documents.

  • How can I use time machine to recover my iWeb09 files?

    I read that iWeb stores one's website pages in the domain folder which can be located at ~/Library/Application Support/iWeb. Can I use time machine to recover my iWeb09 files? If so, how? -I tried. I entered my Time Machine back up, and went back in time and brought the domain file forward but it opened only my current site pages, not the ones I am trying to recover. And it says the Domain file was last modified in October 2007 which is crazy because I've been using iWeb a lot and have published many pages. It seems like the uncorrupted pages, which I am trying to recover, existed somewhere on my computer at one point in time and space, less than a week ago, becuse I just published my site to a new hosting service since Apple will soon stop web hosting. So why can I not find them using time machine?

    I continued searching and read another person's advise to down load an app named "Find File," then search for .sites. She said spotlight doesn't always find all files. So I did and sure enough, when I searched for .sites I found another Domain package, which I have no idea how it was created but which, it ends up, was the one actually being used by iWeb. So I went to that package then did the time machine and went back to before my web pages became corrupted. I had to delete corrupt blog pages out of my website menu to get iWeb to upload the other page changes even to a local folder.
    So I went to that newly found Domain, went back in time, then brought that forward and as you pointed out the domain package had the parts of the pages, the files and jpegs, but not the structure/layout of the pages. So, I guess I gave up on finding the old pages.
    Those pages still exist on the Apple hosting server but iWeb doesn't not reverse publication. Cyberduck would bring back the files and bits and peices but again not the pages as a total entity. I'm preparing for the end of Apple website hosting (next month?) and am republishing my old site. I decided to use a new domain name. So my entire original site is still totally intact on the web under the original domain name, on my mobile me site, I guess it will be there till sometime in June?
    My problems started when I tried to publish my website to the new server. It just would not publish the whole website in one session. So I decided to do it a few pages at a time. Some pages went up, but as I added more, for some unknown reason the, blog pages, (about 70 subpages),  which had aleardy uploaded just fine to the new server, became corrupt and locked up iWeb. Of course once I deleted the corrupt pages I didn't want to continue publishing the site to the host until I found and reinserted uncorrupted pages, knowing publishing changes would delete the already published pages.
    At first I thought it was the hosting server's fault, but when I discovered that it wouldn't publish even to a local fold I was able to locate the cause within iWeb, deleted those pages then tested by publishing to a local folder. iWeb worked locally, so I knew I had found the problem pages. Well this is way more than you wanted to know. Thanks for your advise but I'll just start the blogging pages over.
