Hi All,
i was working on the plane on a document. I briefly saw a flag saying numbers cannot save to the cloud or such and then numbers did crash. The file seems to have been totally erased. It is not in the recent document, nor is it on the icloud space or on a hard drive.
As i had been storing datas for 6 months, it is a significant loss. Can i do something to retrieve that file ?
thanks for your help
MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mavericks (10.9.3)
In Finder hold down the option key and in the menu Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers.
With luck your document will be in that folder (where Numbers stores local copies of documents synced with iCloud).
If you use Time Machine you might also try going back in time in that folder to 'Restore' your document.

thanks but it seems the doc was stored locally, it was used every day and now there is no trace of it
If it was something you use every day and depend on, then I hope you have Time Machine and/or store it in iCloud or have some other backup method!
Other than looking through your backups, it's hard to know what to suggest.

my time machine was off line for quite some time, i guess it is a lesson hard learned😢
thanks for your help
On last thought. Although you say you stored the document locally it is possible, given that error message you saw before the crash, that you had somehow moved it to iCloud at some point, perhaps inadvertently. One way to check that out, other than going to the Library folder referenced above, is to go to the Numbers for iCloud beta at icloud.com and see if it's listed there.

I checked and unfortunately no... thanks again
file lost after a numbers crash
