Restoring earlier version of document in mac

accidentally saved blank page over document I was doing. need to restore (time machine not working). how do i find earlier saved version of word doc?
using microsoft office 2008 word software.

Hi Preeti,
I hope that the following information could be useful for you:
1. We need to display the document having latest version of changable status when CV02N is run (irrespective of the document version entered). Similarly when CV03N is run then document having latest version of released status should be displayed.
Here I think an implementation of BADI DOCUMENT_MAIN01 with method BEFORE_READ_DATA or AFTER_READ_DATA could be useful. With this mehtods you should be enabled to control which version of a document info record is displayed in CV02N or CV03N.
2. Do we get the change history of the document? i.e. time of chaneg and what changes were done? I just found status log.
The changes of a document info record could be displayed by using the menu 'Environment' >> 'Display Changes' in CV02N or CV03N transaction. This works if you have set the flag 'Change Docs' in transaction DC10 for the document type.
3. Is there any way in which we can have indicators for invalid versions of documents?
For this there is a menu entry called 'Versions' in menu "Extras". This entry lists up all existing versions and highlights the current one.
Best regards,
Christoph

IPad frozen after attempting to restore earlier version

My iPad is frozen after I tried to restore an earlier version - 20 Dec 2012 - via my laptop. I have used the on/off and centre control together to try and re-boot, but the apple returns and no further action occurs. Connecting it to iTunes via the laptop does not work as it appears the laptop does not read that the iPad is connected. Any suggestions?

Are you using iTunes to restore it? Were you getting error messages? If so, what were they?

I want to restore backup for iPhone 4 which I done on 20/07/2014 3:00 PM. After this backup I update my iPhone from iOS 6 to iOS 7.1.2 using itunes. Unfortunately error occured during update, the iPhone reset itself and I was following the instruction to setup iPhone for few times and keep stuck at the last step. The 4 backup records shown above are the consequence of repeating setup and sync automatically (all are empty phone backup after reset).
This is the most painful iOS update for me I lost all my data in just one click.
Besides the 4 backup records listed there, I am hoping there is other ways to look for backup. Is there any?

How do you install earlier versions of Firefox, specifically 1.5 or 2.0?

I need Firefox 1.5 or 2.0 because it is the only version compatible with what I need but it will only let me install the latest version. How do I install earlier versions?

On A Mac you can only install one Firefox version at the time.
So if you really need an older version then try the portable version:

How can I recover an earlier version of an Apple Notes document

Hello,
I must have deleted an earlier version of an Apple Notes document.
My Mac is running OS X version 10.9.2. Apple Notes runs on my Macbook Pro and my Iphone 4S, and I've seen my Apple Notes documents on Icloud.
However, the particular doucment I am loooking for has been superceded by later versions on my Macbook Pro, Iphone 4S & on Icloud.
Is there any way to recover a much-needed earlier version somehow?
As a very poor alternative I used to use Time Machine until my Macbook Pro reached it's limit; My last backup goes back to Jan. of this year. Is there a way to recover this Apple Notes document via Time Machine? I really wouldn't know where to look for Apple Notes douments on Time Machine. Like I said, I'd prefer to recover the Apple Notes document that I erroneously deleted today but as a poor 2nd if I can recover that same document, although 6 month's older, beggars can't be choosy.
Thanks for any/all advice.
Jim

If you synchronize Notes with iCloud, open the iCloud preference pane and uncheck the box marked Notes. If you sync Notes with another mail service, disable that in the Internet Accounts or Mail, Contacts & Calendars preference pane. You may be warned that notes stored on the server will be deleted. If you trust your backups, confirm. Leave the window open.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.Notes
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal in Finder (or just Reveal)
from the contextual menu.* A folder should open with an item named "com.apple.Notes" selected. Quit the application if it's running. Move the selected item to the Trash, then restore it from a backup that predates the unwanted change. If you back up with Time Machine, enter it and select the snapshot from which you want to restore.
Log out or restart and empty the Trash.
Re-enable synchronization in System Preferences, if you disabled it.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.

I cannot open a document from an earlier version of pages.

Hope someone has a helpful solution for me. I am trying to access my resume that I did in an earlier version of Pages. I tried to open it today and saw an error saying that the document could not be opened. I have tried researching this and basically have no solution. I need my resume and don't know what to do. Has anyone else figured out a solution other than blowing up their computer?

Copy/paste from TextEdit works. The use of Pages v5 has created more problems than user solutions. Make certain you export to Word format as a backup. Pages v5.5.1 will make a huge 500Kb Word document. You will need to open and save it out from either MS Word, or the free LibreOffice to reduce it down to small double-digits in size.
Sharon, there is a Yosemite community under the general category of MacOS & System Software. Post your Yosemite questions there, and you should get competent answers to your questions. Responders to your question(s) will want to know the year and make of your Mac, how much memory is installed, and if you upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks, or an older OS X installation. The Apple > About this Mac can provide useful info. Be as concise as you can while still conveying the issue you want resolved. If you are running anti-virus software, state that as it is a known performance and stability decrement for OS X.
Yosemite is now one revision beyond the base release. Each new iteration of updates to Yosemite will fix bugs, attend to some usability issues, and improve performance. I am running Yosemite on a 2014 MacBook Air with 4GB of memory. It has been flawless — if not overly art-deco for my taste.

We are unable to open a Pages 5.0.1 document in Pages 4.2 and retain ability to edit all aspects of the document. I have tried saving the 5.0.1 version as Pages '09 and am still unable to open it in the earlier version of pages. Help?

No, it isn't. Pages 5 isn't compatible with Pages 4.3 as it is lacking more than 90 features that Pages 4 has. So when you open a Pages 4 document in Pages 5 only the simplest documents will look the same in Pages 5.
Pages 4 can't open Pages 5 documents at all!! You have to export back to Pages 09 as I said above.
You probably will be more happy if you just use Pages 4 (Pages 09). There are many threads in this forum that describes the lack of compatibility between the two versions. Pages 5 is in my view not Pages anymore.
If you don't desperately need Pages 5 for moving documents over iCloud to new iOs devices don't use it.

How do I fix a word doc. that turned to asterisks? Or find an earlier version of the document?

I was typing a paper and the entire doc. turned to asterisks. Then I panicked and hit save thinking that would be beneficial. Now I only have a doc. with symbols. Is there a way to find an earlier version of the paper? I have saved it at least a dozen times before the doc. turned to ***

Have you considered this ... since you suspect there may be old garbage in the file?
Try creating a brand new document in Word. Then try copying and pasting the old document into the new one. You may choose to do this in sections, or a few pages at a time.

The latest iTunes software wiped out my apps for my 2G iPod Touch by overwriting newer releases of the apps which are not compatible with iOS 4.2.1. I tried to restore the iPod to an earlier version without success. Is there any way to download older versions of my apps which are compatible with my older iPod?

Your only way is if you have the version that was compatible on your computer such as in the recycle bin/trash or in a computer file backup. In that case delete the current version that is in your iTunes App library and replace it with the older version. Then sync.

HI,
Empty the Safari Cache from the Safari Menu Bar more often.
Go to the Safari Menu Bar, click Safari/Preferences. Make note of all the preferences under each tab. Quit Safari. Now go to ~/Library/Preferences and move this file com.apple.safari.plist to the Desktop.
Relaunch Safari and see if that makes a difference. If not, move the .plist file back to the Preferences folder. If Safari functions as it should, move that .plist file to the Trash.

I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I need to download Adobe Digital Editions. Is there any way to download an earlier version so I don't have to upgrade my system?

I am using Mac OS X 10.6.8, and I need to download Adobe Digital Editions. Is there any way to download an earlier version so I don't have to upgrade my system?

OT,
I have the exact same question as heathy32 (I just want to get a photobook ordered, but I'm currently running iPhoto 7.1.5 with OS X 10.6.8 and discovered right at the end of the process of making this photobook that it's no longer supported with the versions I have) but I just wanted to check something with you before I proceed with the iLife 11 disk...
Namely: do I need download the iPhoto Library Upgrader first?
There seem to be issues discussed in other forums about the Upgrader, I want to make sure I don't do something like downloading it if that isn't strictly necessary.
I am perfectly happy just to install iPhoto 9 and upgrade to 9.2.3 using the updater you link to, just so long as I can get a photo book printed!
Once that is safely out of the way, I intend to upgrade to Maverick etc.
Your thoughts very welcome
Thank you.

Persistent "document was created with an earlier version of Pages" error

Since I upgraded to Pages '08 (3.0.2), Pages always thinks that I have created my documents with an older version — even new documents created with Pages '08. As a result, I am frequently shown this message when trying to save a document:
"This document was created with an earlier version of Pages. To maintain the ability to open the document with earlier versions, click Save As and choose an application version."
The options are: Save As..., Cancel, Save.
Any ideas on why this is happening, even when working with Pages '08 documents?
This just occurred to me: Maybe my templates were not upgraded along with the app, so every time I create a "new" document with an old template (even the template "Blank"), my documents would be in the old document format. Thoughts?

It's a well known tip.
On my machines, an Applescript is launched every morning which install a clean set of preferences files for the most often used programs.
Doing that, I am quite free of the kind of oddity which striked on your machine.
--(SCRIPT keepcleanprefs.app]
To keep clean preferences files.
In your userAccount's Preferences folder,
create a subfolder named "safe_Prefs"
Store in this folder clean duplicates of the preferences files subject to corruption.
Save this script as an Application Bundle where you want.
Why not in your Applications folder?
Open the System Preferences Pane "Account"
Click on the "Login" tab.
Drag and drop the script's icon onto the window to add it to the list of login items.
On every boot process, the script will be run so it will install the clean prefs.
Of course, if you change something to the prefs and know that the file is clean,
duplicate the new version to the safe_prefs folder.
