FYI, Office for Mac does not support Versions, backup is the only likely route to recovery here.

Restore previous version of file from BT Cloud

A file on the cloud has been corrupted and I want to restore a previous version. According to BT:
"BT Cloud on your PC and Mac allows you to recover up to 5 previous saved versions of any backed up files. So if a file has been mis-saved or become corrupted, you can use BT Cloud to find a previous version. "
How do I get back to the earlier versions?

List all files.
If you double click on your specific file, then a new console appears, giving the option to open the file, using a command icon "open" on the lower right.
Don't open it yet.
On the bottom right (near the "open" command) there's an info icon.
Click on that and you'll see a list which includes previous versions.
You have the choice of opening a previous version.

Windows Server 2008 R2 - Restore Previous Versions - Restored File Filled with Nulls

ISSUE:
The Restore Previous versions feature on my file server stopped working some time in the recent past. If I look at the Previous Version for a file or folder the items are listed and they show a valid file size. However, when I restore a previous
version of a file it is completely filled with nulls. I have tried local restores on the server and remote restores. The results are the same; I get a file that is the correct size but completely filled with nulls. The Server is Windows 2008
R2 64. I have searched for any reports of similar issues to no avail. I'm looking for any ideas on how to resolve the issue preferably while maintaning archived files.

Hello,
Can you help me with this too?
My Shadow copy stop working!

Please see attached:
What should i do? Please help me.

How do I restore previous versions of a file?

How do I restore previous versions of a file?
please I really need your help

If you've overwritten the previous version of the file, you're probably out of luck. Some applications, like MS Word, create a temporary copy of the file, but they usually delete it once changes are saved to the original file.
You can use version control software such as CVS, SubVersion or ClearCase to keep track of changes to files. You could also store previous versions with some kind of backup scheme, with such tools as Apple's Backup, Carbon Copy Cloner, SuperDuper or Retrospect.
OS 10.5 Leopard will include a sort of built-in versioning tool called Time Machine, as well as (reportedly) come with SubVersion pre-installed (OS X currently comes with RCS and CVS).
You might try data recovery software such as DataRescue to see if it has the ability to recover your file.

Restoring previous versions of a file

Is there a way to restore previous versions in CC?
Basically, I was working in a Word file and accidentally overwrote it but didn't realize until a few days later.
I know this is something that Dropbox allows but I can't seem to find a definite answer about Creative Cloud.
Thanks!

Oh well at least I have an old copy from a while ago to start from. So all hope is not lost.
thanks Ken!

How to restore previous version of search/results.aspx

Hi,
I have search center as sub site. There is no Pages library available for the search center.
I had customized the OOTB search results page. Now, I need to restore previous version of the results page.
The url for results page appears as <site collection URL>/search/results.aspx
Which library contains the results.aspx page and how to restore it to previous version?
Thanks,
dhijit

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to restore previous version of search/results.aspx.
Per my knowledge, the results.aspx isn’t stored in the library.
You can open the SharePoint Designer to find the results.aspx under the “All Files” folder.
There is no version information on the page.
You need to modify the page to the result which is the same as the previous version.
Best Regards,

Need to restore previous version of firefox

need to restore previous version of firefox
I have lost my passwords, and no longer can save open tabs on exit. I don't have time to wait for a fix.

To revert to the previous secure version which is 3.6.17, please do the following: 
#Go to [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html Download Firefox v3.6.17] and download it to the desktop. 
#Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (''don't checkmark the box''). 
#Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox 
#Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier. 
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation. 
After you complete the installation, please go to the [http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/plugincheck/ Plugins Check] page and update where necessary.

When I open a previous version inDesign file (CS5.5) I see a blank page.

I have a problem opening indesign files. I have CS6. When I open a previous version indesign file CS55.5 I see a blank page.

A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Corrupted Spreadsheet / Restore Previous Version in iCloud?

Hello.
Last night, I went to edit a Numbers spreadsheet on my iPad. This same spreadsheet is also kept open on my OS X desktop, but hadn't been updated in hours. When I went to open it, I got a conflict notification. I chose the most recent one and got a message that it couldn't be opened. This morning, I went to open that spreadsheet on my desktop. It was minimized on my dock, so I clicked the icon, but as it zoomed out, an error message popped up saying that it couldn't be opened. From within Numbers for OS X, I tried to open it a few times with the same result. I made a sopy of the spreadsheet and moved it to my desktop from iCloud. From the terminal, I looked into the directory that represents my spreadsheet and found it empty.
I know Numbers used to save previous versions of files, but I cannot open any version to trigger the recovery. Even if I could, I'm not sure this same functionality exists when saving it to iCoud. I've never had a lost / corrupted spreadsheet in Numbers, so I really don't know what to do to recover. Suggestions?
(BTW, I'm using the most recent version of Numbers both on my MBP and on iOS.)

Thanks for the reply, SG.
The "cannot be opened" message says essentially just that:
"FILENAME.numbers" can't be opened.
There's only an OK button to press.
No, I cannot view it in Numbers for iCloud. I forgot to mention that I tried that too.
Yes, I use Time Machine and love it.

When opening previous office version excel files it saves instead of opening

Hi there,
Recently I installed Office 2013 and deinstalled the previous version Office XP ( aka Office 2002 ).
I tried to open some xlsm files but when I open it by double click on them it opens a "save as" screen... It is an XLSM file that is located on my desktop.
When I open first excel and then go to file --> open and open the file, it opens just fine.
I want to open it by double clicking it and not like this.
Word Documents don't have this issue and open just fine.
I also made sure that the extensions are connected to the appropriate application but it still doesn´t work.
It just shows a save as screen as stated earlier and doesn´t open the file in Excel.
Could anyone please inform me of what I am missing=
Andre

Hi Andre,
Only the XLSM file created in previous office version excel can't be opened or all of them can't be opened?
I think it should be a file association problem ,please refer to the thread below:

How can I restore previous version of FF as version 4 is useless/appalling in my opinion.

I wish to restore FireFox to its previous versionas I find the present one (Version 4) unpleasant and not easy to use. I prefer a proper toolbar across the top and why move icons to new positions? I am so disgusted with version 4 that if I am going to be stuck with it, it will be a case of "Goodbye Firefox, hello again Unternet Explorer".

Firefox is highly customizable and you may be able to customize it to meet your needs.
If you do not like the new UI, you can make Firefox 4 look and behave more like Firefox 3.6, for details see http://www.computertechtips.net/64/make-firefox-4-look-like-ff-3-6
To downgrade to Firefox 3.6 first uninstall Firefox 4, but do not select the option to "Remove my Firefox personal data". If you select that option it will delete your bookmarks, passwords and other user data.
You can then install the latest version of Firefox 3.6 available from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html - it will automatically use your current bookmarks, passwords etc.
To avoid possible problems with downgrading, I recommend going to your profile folder and deleting the following files if they exist - extensions.cache, extensions.rdf, extensions.ini, extensions.sqlite and localstore.rdf. Deleting these files will force Firefox to rebuild the list of installed extensions, checking their compatibility, and reset toolbar customizations.
For details of how to find your profile folder see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Profiles

Recovering previous version of file

I accidentally over-wrote an InDesign CS7 PC file with an older version. Is there a way to recover the over-written file?

That is not correct. If you're on Windows and have system restore turned on for the drive the file is on, you may be able to get a previous version back.
Find the current version of your file in Windows Explorer, right click on it, choose properties, then at the top, select the tab "previous versions". If you've had restore points (usually you do) there should be one ore more old versions that you can choose to restore. I stumbled across this by accident and it has saved me numerous times.

IMac crashed, how to save previous version iPhoto files?

hi, my late 2012 iMac crashed last week & I just got it back from the repair shop yesterday.
The technician wiped everything & reinstalled all except iPhoto (I believe my original version was 9.4.2).
My OS is now upgraded to 10.9.4
I'm very concerned about losing all my photo files,
and they don't seem to be available/show up on iCloud. I can view some through my iPhone though.
I noticed that I could download the latest iPhoto version, 9.5.1 which I did, but it seems that it does not support previous
versions and will not cooperate with the photo files that are hopefully still on my iPhone. So right now there is no
iPhoto app on my iMac... is it possible to download the previous iPhoto version (to try and import any saved iPhoto files
from a backup drive?)
I'm sorry that I'm a newbie/basic questions here... just concerned about my existing photo files/losing photos if I upgrade
to 9.5.1. Or just deal with photo loss & update iPhoto now? (ps) when I sign into iCloud, there is no iPhoto app icon showing/
no photos backed up there (just the ones that are appearing on my iPhone in the iPhoto app libraries)
any advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.
Maria

Are you saying you don't have any form or backup? If your internal HD crashed and was replaced and you did not have any backup then your photos are probably gone. If you were using a Time Machine backup (see info below) then restoring your photos and other valuable info is easy. If not, then you might have to consider this an valuable lesson.
Mac Basics: Time Machine backs up your Mac
Without being sure what the tech did you can attempt to restrore you iPHoto library. You can learn how by clicking
iPhoto 6 and later: Rebuilding the iPhoto library
Good luck!

Restore previous version of itunes

I installed the new version of Itunes (v.9) and was then unable to access the store due to not having the new Safari. I tried to download the new version of Safari but my operating system was not sufficient. I uninstalled Itunes V9 and reinstalled V7.7. An error message occurs everytime I try to open Itunes - "i tunes library cannot be read". Thankfully I have a separate file on my desktop of the full library, although it can't be played unless I upgrade to V9.
Can anyone enlighten me? Thanks.

if your profile is correct, you would just need to update to 10.5.8 to run Safari 4.x. just download the 10.5.8 combo updater here http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/apple/macosx_updates/macosx1058comboupdate .html
Safari 4.x System Requirements (from Apple's website):
+Mac OS X 10.6.1 or 10.6.2+
+Mac OS X 10.5.8+
+Mac OS X 10.4.11+
+Vista, XP and Windows 7+
and reinstalled V7.7. An error message occurs everytime I try to open Itunes - "i tunes library cannot be read". Thankfully I have a separate file on my desktop of the full library, although it can't be played unless I upgrade to V9.
if you really want to downgrade to a previous version, here are the steps:
+1) Quit iTunes.+
+2) Delete iTunes from your Applications folder.+
+3) Go to your ~/Music/iTunes folder. Delete or rename the "iTunes Library" file.+
+4) Open the "Previous iTunes Libraries" folder and look for the backup of your old pre-9 library; it should be dated at about the time you first ran iTunes 9. Copy it back out to the ~/Music/iTunes folder, and rename it to "iTunes Library".+
+6) click here to download iTunes 8.2.1. The page says it's for G3, but the Read Me file says it'll run on G4, G5, and Intel too. Open the disk image and run the installer.+
+You should now be able to run iTunes 8.2.1 again.+
+And your iTunes will restore to before you upgraded and you won't lose anything+.
this is for iTunes 8.2.1, obviously, but you seem to have the installer for v7.7 handy, so it should work just as well in your case.
good luck !
