Restoring after Pages crash

I stepped away from my computer for a lunch break and came back to find a warning box indicating Pages closed due to an error (something about SFWordprocessing Plug-In failure). When I clicked on the name of the document I had been working on (in the "File:Open Recent" drop-down menu) the version from last night came up even though I had been periodically saving throughout the 3hr session I had been working on this morning.
I have a MacBook Pro on OX 10.5.6 and have Pages 08 3.0.3. I have located the crash log, but it means nothing to me. Is there any way I can recover the version of the file that existed at time of crash?
I did my best to remember all the editing and work I had done and saved under a new file name, but I'd really like to see if I can recover the work from the original file. I have not turned off my computer and other than initially re-opening Pages I have not since shut down Pages.
thanks for any suggestions or assistance

Also have a look in Pages preferences. There you can mark "Backup previous version of saving".
This feature may be dangerous giving a wrong impression of safety.
It doesn't save a copy of the old version.
It simply renames the old file.
So, if you save only once after less than ten minutes of work on a document, it will be a a correct backup.
Alas, if you worked, say one hour and saved every ten minutes, the last 'previous version' is the last saved one which is not guaranteed to be a clean one.
So, you may perfectly discover that the two available versions are un-readable.
This is why my script keep datetimestamped consecutive versions.
With the described task we would find ourselves with
myDoc.pages (the last saved)
myDoc_20090505-160000.pages.zip
myDoc_20090505-161000.pages.zip
myDoc_20090505-162000.pages.zip
myDoc_20090505-163000.pages.zip
myDoc_20090505-164000.pages.zip
myDoc_20090505-165000.pages.zip
and, assuming that the preceeding working session was dated 20090430 you will also have
myDoc_20090430-191122.pages.zip
This one would be a zipped version of the one from which you started the today's session, it must be OK.
We may hope that some of the versions saved today are OK too.
Never delete such a file before checking that one of the more recent files is OK.
Safety has a cost but it's only too expensive before the crash !

How can I do a Session Restore after a crash from a week or so ago (i.e. not most recent)

After a recent FF crash (Vsn 13.0.1 - I know) on the next start up it asked if I wanted to restore session, said yes - then realised all previous tabs were missing. Shut down and re-started nothing happened so checked Task List and found multiple versions (2) of FF in memory - ended those sessions.
Tried to rename/re-use sessionstore.js and sessionrestore.bak but didn't contain tabs wanted, so I need to know if there is a way to 'undelete' previous sessionrestore.js files and use the one from a week or so ago to restore the tabs from then? I presume the same renaming procedure is used - could someone direct me to the procedure to do this?
Thanks.

I can find multiple (deleted) Sessionstore.js files with different dates and times in the n33mpvib.default folder, in 'good' condition. I have tried to save 1 from last week (to a different drive, E:) and then renamed sessionstore.js to *.old and copied in the recovered sessionstore.js from E: into n33mpvib.default folder, and restarted FF - didn't work.
I can see all the tabs I had previously opened in the History, but can't remember which were still open (active) at the time of the crash.
Is there something I am not doing correctly in the first paragraph procedure?

Which files to restore after a crash disk

hye every one

any help should be very appreciate
thanks

The general backup is described e.g. at http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/ff/ff6c6f409f11d1896b0000e8322d00/frameset.htm.
If you only need to restore the database library (no system data, no directories, no kernel), then it is recommended to restore R3<sid>JRN before restoring R3<sid>DATA. If you restore R3<sid>DATA before R3<sid>JRN is there, then a journal receiver for journal QSQJRN is created in R3<sid>DATA rather than R3<sid>JRN. You can fix that later manually by creating a journal receiver in R3<sid>JRN and using the CHGJRN command, but it is easier if you restore R3<sid>JRN first.
If the backup of R3<sid>DATA was done at the same time as R3<sid>JRN, then you don't need to apply journalled changes. If you have more current backups of R3<sid>JRN, you can use the WRKJRN command to associate the restored receivers with the journal before applying journaled changes (see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/ff/ff6da7409f11d1896b0000e8322d00/content.htm).

File restore after system crash?

I recorded several videos on my iPhone yesterday. One was 28 minutes long (almost 3 GB) so I deleted them from my phone as soon as I copied it into iPhoto. I was viewing the videos in iPhoto when my system crashed. After rebooting, the movies were gone.
Is there any way these movies can be recovered? They've got to be on the hard drive somewhere.

Try using a data recovery product such as the ones listed here. Don't write anything else to the drive until the files are recovered or you choose not to recover them.

IPhone unable to restore after sudden crash

Hello everybody,
Today, my iPhone suddenly crashed. I was using fine all morning, sending messages, browsing the web and whatnot. But then all of a sudden my phone crashed. Then I tried to reboot my phone, but it just went into a constant boot-loop. I tried plugging my phone into the wall charger, it booted and said I had to connect it to my iTunes. I did that, and it just constantly rebooted. I managed to get it into DFU mode and tried to do a restore from Apple. It went to verify the software, then it just rebooted again and gave me the error saying it cannot be restored (Error 2001). I tried downloading the offical firmware and doing a custom restore, but that failed also. I have an iPhone 3GS on the latest offical/unjailbroken firmware (5.0.1).
Does anybody know what's going on?

I have an iphone4s, the update downloaded to my Macbook Air but the install to the phone failed and it reset the phone to factory defaults (wiped it). I'm having problems getting it to restore from the backup as well.

Tabs lost after Firefox crashed; Restore Session page doesn't load

Firefox 6.02 has been restoring previous sessions fine.
But...
When I had multiple tabs open in multiple tab groups, Firefox started slowing down. This was probably due to too many tabs opened. Eventually, Firefox crashed. Normally, under my settings Firefox launches the Restore Session page. However, this time it somehow bypassed the Restore Session page and took me straight to my home page. All my pinned tabs and tabs in tab groups were lost.
This is the second time I'm experiencing this problem in two different machines, where one was running XP and the other was running Windows 7 x64.
How do I restore my tabs? I need these tabs really bad...

You thought that, it was a bug.
https://support.mozilla.org/tr/questions/959436
BUT, For me it was not bug. it was very good for me.
i want "Well this is embarrassing...." page AGAIN.

After a crash, when Firefox is restored, I get many blank pages opening, in addition to the correct page. It takes a while to close them all.

The new version of Firefox also seems to be crashing more than the old.

Set the pref [http://kb.mozillazine.org/browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes browser.sessionstore.max_resumed_crashes] to 0 on the about:config page to get the about:sessionrestore page immediately with the first restart after a crash has occurred or the Task Manager was used to close Firefox.
That will allow you to deselect the tab(s) that you do not want to reopen, but will allow to reopen the other tabs.
See:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Session_Restore#Restoring_a_session_after_a_crash
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page.

Restored tabs after a crash are very old tabs, not my last session: how to fix this?

Whenever Mozilla crashes, which is often, my most recent session is NOT restored!! I get the oops page with 2 options: restore session or start new. I click restore session and instead of bringing me back where I was with the video I was watching that crashed in the middle, it brought me to about 12 videos prior! :-/
Can you guys fix this on your end? Surely it must be a Firefox glitch as this is new of this week: all 3 times my internet has crashed as done this whereas in the past, I'd be restored right where I left off. This is a huge problem: I nearly had ebay automatically purchase the same thing again due to reopening to a purchase page tab that had ALREADY BEEN CLOSED and my newer tabs from session that crashed with all my work (composing at blog or forum posts) are nowhere to be found. HELP, please!

If you experience one or more of the following problems with Firefox 23+:
* after a crash, Firefox > History > Restore Previous Session does not restore the last session, but restores the session before that one;
* YouTube videos always start muted,
then try this:
# In the [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/awesome-bar-find-your-bookmarks-history-and-tabs Location bar] type '''about:config''' and press <Enter>.
# In the Search box at the top, type '''browser.sessionstore'''.
# In the resulting grid, double-click on all lines shown in '''bold''', to set their ''Status'' to '''default'''.
# In particular, verify that ''browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash'' has been set to '''true'''.

Pages crashes after first synchronization

Hi, everyone.
Last night I synchronized for the first time my home and office Macs using Leopard and my .Mac account. Since then, my office copy of Pages crashes shortly after I start using other programs. The screen simply dissapears. The program is apparently still running but there's nothing on the screen. The only way for Pages to work again is restarting the computer, and again it crashes when I start using other programs.
I tried restoring Pages using Time Machine. I also tried deleting iWork and reinstalling from the disk. Even tried updating the program. The same thing happens... Pages is fine until I start opening programs.
I use Pages all the time, so this is really frustrating. Your help would be truly appreciated.

Lost is lost.
Buy it from the Mac App Store. It is not that expensive and you will then get all updates automatically and be able to install it on several Macs so long as you use the same Apple I.D.
In future I suggest you protect your investment in software by buying an installer USB drive and adding all your installers along with purchase records and serial numbers on that.

How to Stop Firefox 18 From Restoring the Previous Session After a Crash

Firefox 18.0.1 running on Windows 7
When Firefox crashes, the next time it opens it tries to restore the previous session. I do not want Firefox to restore the previous session after a crash. How do I prevent Firefox from restoring the previous session after a crash?
Please note:
1- My home page is set to "blank page"
2- I have configured Firefox to NOT remember my browsing history, download history, form fields and passwords.
3- Even in Safe Mode (i.e., with all add-ons disabled), Firefox STILL restores the previous session after a crash.

hello Bulldogger, please try the following in order to switch off sessionrestore completely: enter '''about:config''' into the firefox location bar (confirm the info message in case it shows up) & search for the preferences named '''browser.sessionstore.max_tabs_undo''' and '''browser.sessionstore.max_windows_undo'''. double-click on those entries and change both of their values to '''0'''.

When restarting firefox after a crash, how do I stop it from re-opening all web pages that were open at the time of the crash?

When firefox crashes, or if it hangs and I have to kill it, then when I go to restart it, it tries to re-open all pages that were open at the time it crashed or was killed. This is incredibly annoying, especially if one of the visited pages caused the crash or hang. It is also really annoying if some of the web pages happened to require passwords to log in, from multiple sites. In my case this occurs as I am frequently logged into multiple online educational web sites like ucsc-extension.edu and berkleemusic.com. In the login case you get multiple login prompt pop-ups with no way to correlate which pop-up goes with which web page. If there are a lot of them then it's a hopeless mess. This behavior is something that I never ever want and it infuriates me that not only is it the default behavior, it is something that there seems to be no way to turn off, at least via the configuration menus. Am I wrong? Is there a way to turn this off? If not can somebody either make it configurable or get rid if this fantastically idiotic behavior?
I suspect there's a command line option for this but on my Mac (or most systems these days) it's sort of "unnatural" to be starting programs like browsers by means other than a provided program start-up icon, which gives you no choice about the command line options.
Besides, as a default behavior the current behavior is something I cannot conceive of ever wanting. I would rather have a poke in the eye with a sharp stick.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== firefox crashed

You can try this.
In the address bar type about:config you will be warned that this is dangerous.
Search for browser.sessionstore.resume_from_crash
Double click on true to toggle it to false.
Exit the page.
Firefox will now NOT try to reload websites after a crash.

Can't get icloud to restore after crash from ios 8.1 update, says server not avaible, any suggestions?

Can someone tell me the implications of using the command RESET DATABASE on my system days after I did the open reset logs? I opened the database with the ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS in SQL not RMAN and I see the below note.....
Re: Can't get dataguard to recover after SAN crash.
To reset the incarnation of the target database in the RMAN repository, which means to do either of the following actions:
•Inform RMAN that the SQL statement ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS has been executed and that a new incarnation of the target database has been created. Note that if you run the RMAN command ALTER DATABASE OPEN RESETLOGS (not the SQL statement with the same keywords), then RMAN resets the target database automatically so that you do not have to run RESET DATABASE. By resetting the database, RMAN considers the new incarnation as the current incarnation of the database.

I have recently re-installed i-annot open because of a problem" response when I try to get into my files. After the re-install I still got the same message from 'pages'. How can I restore the 'pages' app?

I have recently re-installed i-Work because I was getting a "pages cannot be opened because of a problem" response and I was unable to read any of my documents or open any attachments from my e-mails. After the install, 'pages' still will not open and gives the same response. How do I restore my 'pages' app?

I've never seen this error but I'd assume that it can be fixed the same way many Mac application errors are: open your Library folder and look inside the Preferences folder for the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist file and throw it away.
