Hi, As Jonathan mentioned, if you created and edited this document using TextEdit, then previous edits are saved within TextEdit itself. You can look back through those archived versions to find the version you're looking for. If that doesn't work, the easiest thing to do would be to locate t

You might not even need to use time machine if the file is still present in your system. Was the file edited using textedit? If so, then there should be a mini-time machine interface in the editing window. If not, then instructions for using time machine have been given before on list. I person

You can, but be aware that time machine backups keep growing until the volume is all used up and then start pruning the oldest backups. So you might discover in short order that all the space you were going to use for music has gone away. CB Courtney Curran wrote: Hi, I have another question

Hello Scott, I think you meant Control-F2 for the Apple menu, and Control-F8 for the Status menu. There's also Control-F3 to go to the Dock. Cheers, Anne On Apr 23, 2010, at 11:50 AM, Scott Howell wrote: > And you can also use command-f8 to reach the status bar. This status bar is > actuall

And you can also use command-f8 to reach the status bar. This status bar is actually the one that shows the clock, Time Machine status, and so forth. Command-f2 will take you to the application menu bar and this again is an OS command and finally command-f3 will take you to the Dock. On Apr 2

Why yes you can. In the time machine preferences turn back up off. Check the show time machine on the status bar. Now when you go to the time machine menu on the status bar you will find a item called back up now. A click of this item will do a back up. On Apr 22, 2010, at 7:14 PM, Courtney
