Hi Gigi,
I can commensurate with you. When I was in grad school between 2005-2008, I did the same thing. Unfortunately, when I always attempted to recreate what I had deleted, it never came out the way it did the first time. I was using a PC at the time and all of my problems existed because I would highlight some text, but because it was probably in the wee hours, I didn't move the cursor off to deselect and save the doc without realizing that I had lost a file or important text. Control-S (PC or Command-S (Mac) became my friend. I also elected to check to make an automatic backup of any document. At least that would save my buns if I repeated the stupid mistake. I really do feel for you. I hope you can reconstruct the tables less than 2 hours.

Hi guys I have another request for testing when some of you get around to it. I discovered a very bad bug in Pages having to do with the iPhone and iCloud. Don't do what I did or you can lose your files or parts thereof that are near and dear to you heart. Part of this is a VoiceOver issue, and part is not. Here is the disaster I created for myself. Last night I worked on a Pages file until 10 o'clock. I failed to press command s, and this turned out to be a very bad decision. I made an even worse decision this morning. This file had two tables in it. I decided to see if tables would ok on the iPhone; they work great on the Mac these days. So, I fired up my iPhone in Pages. I was using the Focus 14 braille display and discovered that I could get into a table, no prob, get into a cell, no prob, but could not delete characters I wanted to take out with chord d. Then in messing around somehow, and I still don't knowhow I did this, I erased one of the tables. I tried to undo it, and it didn't work. So I went back to the Mac, and sure enough it was gone. Then I decided to see if I could get an older version. That was when I found out that I couldn't read with VoiceOver what my version choices were except for one, the one at 8 o'clock yesterday evening. I was hoping I had a later one, so I had to call that 877 number again so the lady with Apple could look at my screen by helping me to move the mouse without VoiceOver saying a word. She told me I had three choices, none of which were at 10 o'clock last night. This meant I had to do two hours work over. I also moved all my Pages files off the Cloud so I can use my Time Machine backup for disasters.

I for one hope airdrop is accessible. On Jun 5, 2014, at 22:31, "Littlefield, Tyler" <ty...@tysdomain.com> wrote: Please do reread his post. He didn't say "please tell me what you're testing," he said "If you're a tester, please look at this if you can because it was unaccessible last time."

For those who are beta testing at the moment or when ever testing, please test the new I Cloud as before when iCloud came out it wasn't very accessible. In my Opinion, if Cloud Drive is coming out then people may want to use it on the web especially if one wants to get at a document as you'd want to do this on the web as well on an I phone and a Mac.
