My iMac just crashed, and I had some documents open in Pages that were unsaved. Is there a temporary file or backup file that I can access as on a PC? (I have just looked in Timemachine which I had operating, but it did not seem to have any temp files).

Question asked and answered several times.

If you didn't save, nothing is recoverable.

iWork apps don't create temp files so, as far as you on't save something, Time Machine can't archive it.

To be the AW6 successor, iWork MUST integrate a TRUE DB, not a list organizer !

I work on a MAC, and I've had an unexpected shut down while working in Pages many times. Unfortunately, there's no autosave feature, but it would be a great addition to the next version (along with a number of other features). The most I can suggest is SAVE more often than you might with other documents. I know how frustrating and maddening it can be to work on a Pages layout only to see all the work go poof when something unknown causes a quit.

Hi Rey,

You wrote: "it would be a great addition to the next version (along with a number of other features)."

Feature requests need to go directly to Apple if they're to be acted upon. Most current Apple applications (including Pages) have a Provide (application) Feedback item in the application menu (in Pages, that's the Pages menu). That's a direct route to Apple. This space is a direct route to users like yourself.

Regards,

Barry

No need to file a report, the new operating system (to be delivered this month) will autosave automatically and, more, will keep track of every changes applied to the documents.
