I'm struggling with finding files. I swore I saved something and have searched all files. Any hints on where to find it? I wonder if somehow I lost it?

I'm struggling with finding a pages file I saved. It is very important! I have been looking and have checked my downloads, trash, recent pages documents, desktop, and on flash drives but can't find it. Any ideas on where else to search?

Click the magnifying glass icon top right corner of your screen in the menu bar to search for files.


Mac Basics: Spotlight



If you can't locate it that way, click your Apple  menu top left in your screen.


From the drop down menu click Recent Items.


It may show up under Documents.



If you do not have Recent Items setup, open System Preferences > General


Select 5 to 50 from the Recent items pop up menu.
