Number files are missing

Hi all,

I have tried all possible solution in locating missing files on numbers but no help. When I try to search the file name using the search button on my mac, I can see it from the suggested result but when I click the file name, it doesn't show or open anything. I have iCloud turned on ever since so I am not sure where my files are. The files I am looking for was opened and updated more than a year ago.

Hey there aniyagoddess,


There are a couple ways you can locate files on your Mac. Try working through the steps below to find it:


On your Mac, do any of the following:
* Use Spotlight: Open Spotlight , enter the file’s name in the search field, then double-click the file in the search results. See Search with Spotlight.
* View in the Finder: Click the Finder icon  in the Dock, click Recents in the Finder sidebar, then choose View > Group By > Date Last Opened. (If you don’t see Group By in the View menu, choose View > Use Groups.)
* The left side of the Dock; the Finder icon is at the far left.
* View the Recent Items list: Choose Apple menu  > Recent Items, then choose the file from the list (if it appears there).
* In some apps, you can choose File > Open Recent (or something similar) to see a list of recently viewed files. Some apps may show a list of recent files at the bottom of the File menu instead.

After you find the document, you can tag it, or drag it to a new location.

You can also try recovering files if you used Time Machine: Recover files using Time Machine and Spotlight on Mac - Apple Support


Take care!
