Saved document opens back up with none of my data present!

Help! My wife was working on a Pages 3.0.2 document for two days. She saved it several times while working on it. This evening while working on it, all of a sudden, everything just vanished! She hit the return key, and then, poof! it was gone.
Unfortunately, she then saved the file again before closing Pages.
I'm thinking she's dust at this point, but is there any hope? I know, I know, Time Machine would have it, but it wasn't activated on her machine. Doh!
Any help would be most appreciated.

MicBoy,
Welcome to Apple discussions.
Would you like the phone number of a good divorce lawyer?
Sorry.
I'm afraid your first inclination was correct. The file's gone. If you save a blank file over a previously filled one, the last save trumps all.

  • Saving document open in external window

    Hello all,
    as always, I seem to be stuck ;-)
    I have an application that embeds the Acrobat control, opens a document and performs some operations on it using a plugin which is being "remote-controlled". The only thing I can't seem to get to work is to save the changes.
    What I essentially want is to save the changes into the same file, which doesn't seem to be possible if Acrobat is being embedded. At least an incremetal save seems to work if Acrobat is running in normal standalone mode.
    What is the preferred method to do what I want? Since I can seemingly save the changes into a temporary file I suspect that I somehow need to save the temp file, close the currently viewed doc, rename the file and to open the new one, which doesn't seem to be a "nice" solution. Even if this would be the only option I can't get it to work.
    Is there anyone who might be able to help me?
    Thank you very much for your time,
    Steffen.

    Here's the snippet that I've been trying most recently:
    ASInt32 objDocFlags = PDDocGetFlags(objPDDoc);
    if ((objDocFlags & PDDocNeedsSave) != 0)
    SendInfo(1, 2, "A");
    DURING
    PDDocSave(objPDDoc, PDSaveIncremental, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL);
    SendInfo(1, 2, "B");
    HANDLER
    SendInfo(1, 2, "C");
    END_HANDLER
    "SendInfo" is something that just transfers some information to my controlling application to make it easier for me to "debug". In my case, I'm getting an "A" and a "B", meaning that nothing is being thrown. The code above is incomplete, as I'm also checking if the PDDoc needs to be saved - I also tried to get an appropriate ASFile to provide the correct file system, but that didn't change anything.
    Maybe I need to add that I have the requirement to save without any "save file" dialogs.

  • I use to close Firefox and it would ask me if I want to save those selections. Now It wipes them out and I want Firefox to open back up with what i closed it on.

    Fire fox use to remember the pages I had up when I closed it. Now it just opens with my home page/

    Firefox now always stores the old session which you can access by going to the History menu and selecting "Restore Previous Session".
    If you always open the last set of tabs, an alternative approach is this:
    # Click the orange Firefox button, then select options to open the options window
    # Go to the General panel
    # Change the setting "When Firefox starts" to "Show my windows and tabs from last time"

  • Opening of tables with non english names in Smart View

    Hi All,
    I can't open tables with russian names with Smart View. English named tables works fine, and Russian names opens in wrong encoding as a name of Excel worksheets like this - #1087;оис. So no table opens. What's wrong and how to fix it?
    Thanks in advance,
    Mary

    Smart View Version is 11.1.2.5.000 (Build 111)

  • Numbers document opens empty or with partial tables

    I received a couple a budgets from a friend which were made under excel. I've opened them with no problem on my first computer mac osx 10.5.8 using Numbers.
    My second computer opens it too but it's all empty. Mac osx 10.6 snow leopard.
    Anyone any clue? Are they some incompatibility with numbers?
    Thanks.
    Melanie

    One more time something odd installed with Snow Leopard.
    But the number of files which may be wrongly installed is so big that it's difficult to identify the wrongdoer.

  • Trying to replace a 'default date' with a 'blank cell' (data presentation issue)?

    Hi Everyone,
    I am trying to add the total cost of purchases to a reports that shows 'row level' items and costs. To do this I have used the UNION ALL command, as shown below.
    SELECT
    T1.DocDate
    , T0.Dscription AS 'Item Description'
    , T0.Price
    FROM AU.dbo.POR1 T0
    INNER JOIN AU.dbo.OPOR T1 ON T1.DocEntry = T0.DocEntry
    WHERE T1.DocType = 'S' AND T1.CardCode = 'V010050'
    UNION ALL
    SELECT
    --CASE WHEN CAST(SUM(0) AS varchar) = '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000' THEN 'A' ELSE 'B' END
    , 'Total Cost'
    , SUM(T0.Price)
    FROM AU.dbo.POR1 T0
    INNER JOIN AU.dbo.OPOR T1 ON T1.DocEntry = T0.DocEntry
    WHERE T1.DocType = 'S' AND T1.CardCode = 'V010050'
    I am getting the results that I expect however instead of seeing '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000' in the bottom left hand corner of my result set I would simply like to see a blank cell (with no contents).
    Here is what I am currently seeing -
    How can I 'remove the contents' and substitute a 'blank'? I tried using a case statement and the SUM operator without success. I chose SUM, because to choose a non-aggregate function would require me to use the GROUP BY clause, and doing so would then affect my result set adversely.
    Any suggests here will be greatly appreciated.
    Kind Regards,
    David

    Hi!
    Try This.
    SELECT 
    cast(T1.DocDate as varchar)  'Date'
    , T0.Dscription AS 'Item Description' 
    , T0.Price 
    FROM AU.dbo.POR1 T0 
    INNER JOIN AU.dbo.OPOR T1 ON T1.DocEntry = T0.DocEntry 
    WHERE T1.DocType = 'S' AND T1.CardCode = 'V010050' 
    UNION ALL 
    SELECT 
    --CASE WHEN CAST(SUM(0) AS varchar) = '1900-01-01 00:00:00.000' THEN 'A' ELSE 'B' END 
    ''  'Date'
    , 'Total Cost' 
    , SUM(T0.Price) 
    FROM AU.dbo.POR1 T0 
    INNER JOIN AU.dbo.OPOR T1 ON T1.DocEntry = T0.DocEntry 
    WHERE T1.DocType = 'S' AND T1.CardCode = 'V010050'

  • How to display the info visually with the help of data present in the DB

    I need to reserve a resource for a particular period of time,When i finished in
    specify the date & time (ie start time and end time).
    I need to give a report for the particular day by displaying the timing details visually( ie by shading the cell) in the table formatt
    for example if I enter the resource name as printer and mention the start time (6:00)and end time(7:00)
    Based on the specified time(ie start time and end time) for the particular resource which are present in the Database, The displaying table's cell
    (the table that contains time in x axis,resource name in y-axis & each cell represent 1/2 hour )should be shaded. (ie 6:00 to 6:30 & 6:30 to 7:00 cells are to be shaded)
    hope u understand my problem
    Plz help me in this regards....
    Thank u in advance

    Hi,
    to display the header first append the header as the first record and then append your data.
    to remove comma seperator use the following code:
    replace all occurences of ',' with space.
    then condense.
    and last u can download data to presentation and application servers at the same time using 'gui_download'  and  datasets.
    Thanks & Regards,

  • Opening Indesign file triggers random document opens

    I am working in Indesign CC 2014 am having a particularly odd glitch when opening documents, where, on opening they seem to trigger the opening of other Indesign documents without me even clicking anywhere - let alone wanting to open them in the first place.
    I am working on redesigning page layouts from a printed publication so they fit the format of an ipad magazine - so I tend to copy text and images from one indesign document to the other. I did wonder whether this was some how linking the files so that when i opened one, the other opened automatically but sometimes the document that is triggered is from months ago (which can be very frustrating as indesign opens multiple copies of older files as there is no lock on 'converted' files so I end up with ~20 copies of the same thing that cannot be closed without more opening). It can also be a bit random as to whether it triggers a document opening at all with the same file.
    I have tried ditching my prefs to no avail - and searching for similar topics here, but the only similar one was from 2013
    Fairly new to CC after moving from CS3 earlier this year, so it could be something that I'm just not aware of doing - but any help/insight would be appreciated.
    • This problem also occurs on other machines in the office (all running mavericks) but just appears to be random as to whether it does it or not on each file.

    There's nothing in the cross references panel, I'll keep an eye on this in future though as I was unaware of it - and nothing in system prefs also unfortunately.
    It doesn't seem to happen all the time though, so for example, when I opened a file this morning that i had worked previously with no such issues - lets call it 'september.indd'. As soon september.indd loads, a new document that i didn't ask to open (lets call it 'august.indd') opens up repeatedly - this morning I ended up with september.indd open and 12 x august.indd (all showing as converted). As i tried to close the copies of august.indd more opened up. I ended up just force quitting indesign - and on restarting I got september.indd opening fine with 12 copies of untitled.indd, which all closed fine and I had no more problems with september.indd.
    The whole things abit unpredictable, so i haven't been able to replicate it since my original post but i will keep an eye on it against your suggestions for when it happens again in the next day or so.

  • Document Type with a later posting date

    Hi,
    We are on SAP B1 2005 PL50.
    We occasionally get the message " There is a document of this type with a later posting date" while posting AP invoices. It happens to some AP invoices only because other invoices get added even though the document is posted with a prior posting date then what is in existence
    Please advice, what could be causing this.
    Thanks
    Asif

    Hi Mohamed,
    If there is a document existing in the database with a posting date later       
    than the current one, this system message will pop up.                                                                               
    This system message works based on the following setting:                                                                               
    Under Administration -> System Initialisation -> Document Settings ->         
    Tab 'General' is a tickbox 'Block Documents with Earlier Date'.                                                                               
    If this box is ticked, the error message 'There is a document of this         
    type  with a later posting date.' is received and the document                
    cannot be added. This affects the following documents:                                                                               
    - AR and AP Invoice                                                           
    - AR and AP Credit Memo                                                       
    - AR and AP Reserve Invoice                                                                               
    If the box is unticked, the system displays the message: 'There is a          
    document of this type with a later posting date. CONTINUE or                  
    CANCEL.' If 'Continue' is chosen, the document can be added.
    It is not possible to turn this off message.       
    Hope it helps.

    I just updated my MAC operating system and when I went to open a recent document in numbers, the document that opened had none of my data and was formatted differently.  Can I get my document with all my information back?

    I suggest the easy stuff first:
    1) quite Numbers and restart Numbers
    2) reboot the computer
    After that try opening the same document in another user space

  • Reset & reverse document with open item managed and none open item managed

    Dear forum,
    I would like to confirm the below.
    If i have a posted document where the double entry has open item managed account and none open item managed account and where the open item managed account is cleared, how can i reverse this document.
    The problem now is FBRA cannot reset and reverse (as the document partly has none open item managed account) and FB08 also cannot reverse (as part of the account is open item managed account and it is cleared).
    Besides manually reverse via FB01, any other method?
    Thanks
    Moderator: Please, avoid asking basic questions

    Which document are you trying to clear using FBRA?  You should reset the "clearing document" using FBRA; not the original document that has one open item and one non-open item.  Once you reset the clearing document using FBRA, you should then be able to reverse the original document (the one that has one open item and one non-open item) using FB08.

  • I have saved documents with oages and numbers but now I can't open them they show as several files in preview mode why?

    Why are my saved documents comkmg up in preview mode and I can't access them?

    Hi Gail,
    A Numbers document is actually a bunch of files that (usually) appear to be a single file.
    What version of OS X are you using on your MacBook?
    What version of Numbers? Numbers 2 (Numbers '09) or Numbers 3? The latest version of Numbers is 3.5 on OS X Yosemite.
    More information will lead to a solution .
    Keep posting.
    Regards,
    Ian.
