I saved and closed several files that had changes in them and in numbers it remains empty. Again, this is new. I used the numbers a week ago and there files then. No change of os

Hello junglejim,.

Welcome to the communities of Apple Support!

It seems that you are having problems to open recent documents in Pages and Numbers because the lists 'Open the recent item' are now empty. I know how it is to use the option "Open the recent item" for quick access to the documents you have worked on so I can understand why the suddenly empty menu would cause concern it.

If you are unsure that you have accidentally selected the "Clear Menu" option at the bottom of the "Open recent item" list, there are a few other things we can explore to refine the why this happened. The first would be bound to an external hard drive. If you have a hard drive connected to your Mac where you saved your number and documents Pages and you disconnected the disk, it can cause the "Open recent item" list is more to show those who record the items.

Another possible cause can be the settings of your Mac. Follow these steps:

  1. Open on your Mac System Preferences by clicking the  logo in the upper left corner of your screen.
  2. Select 'General '.
  3. Down, select the drop down beside where it says "recent items". If the "recent items" are defined as 'none' instead of the number, it can cause you to display more recent documents in number and Pages.

Although your documents to appear in 'open the recent item"currently, you can still locate these documents if you have backed up on your Mac, an external hard drive or iCloud drive. If you do not save your documents as you work on it, I highly recommend that you start doing so to proceed in order to avoid data loss. In case you are not familiar with iCloud drive, here are some great resources for her:

iCloud Drive FAQ - Apple Support

Once you have made sure that the "recent items" in the preferences system is not set to 'none', your next step would be to open or to create a few documents in number and in Pages, close and reopen the number and Pages, and check if these documents, you have just opened, created are showing in 'Open recent' to ensure it works as expected today.

Thank you for using communities of Apple Support.

Have an awesome rest of your day!

    When I scroll a page all of a sudden the page jumps all the way back to the top

    Hey LouiseReed,

    This could be a problem with your keyboard. For example if your House key was stuck or if you accidentally touch while scrolling the page would jump to the top of the screen. If possible, try to connect to another keyboard and test to see if the same thing happens.

    Another possibility is that your mouse has a top button which is on the Home button. While scrolling if you accidentally hit this button, the page jump to the top.

    If the above information doesn't help you find causing jumps, please provide more specific information such as: what do you use to scroll when this happens, the problem is easily reproducible whether the problem occurs randomly, etc.

    Hope that helps.

  • How can I male Firefox open the YouTube videos and youtube pages application?

    I tried to watch a video on the youtube page, but I got a message saying that the video was not available for mobile devices. I really want to watch this video, then I tried exactly the same page with the browser android... guess what? the browser has sent the link to the youtube app and I watched the video without problem.

    So, how can I make Firefox call the youtube app instead of lie to me?

    An example: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2zI4Hl02898 & feature = youtu.be & desktop_uri=%2Fwatch%3Fv%3D2zI4Hl02898%26feature%3Dyoutu.be

  • JPEG files and links deactivated all of a sudden!

    Hello world

    I've been a user avid and passionate about Dreamweaver 6.0 on Windows XP for many years but have recently discovered something that leaves me completely with no possible explanation.

    Until a few days ago, everything went well and I managed to get a glimpse of my new or updated designs in each of my browsers offline. However, this has changed now that all the new JPEG images do not display in the browser offline and newly introduced view links do not work!

    This is the case regardless of browser used as I tried the same thing on the Suite Mozilla, IE, Firefox and Opera - all with the same result.

    This of course reminds a coding error and I thought that something had to be corrected BUT just by chance, I downloaded the content of sites with a malfunction on my server AND everything is displayed correctly in all my browsers.

    I downloaded then pages work correctly on an external hard drive, only to suffer broken links image and lost link connections between pages yet.

    I am really concerned about what is happening!

    Thanks a lot for your time!

    Ulli

    Sorry I misread that you post, do not take into account what I said, if everything works, but you
    The image links, it must be in the code.

    Hi FARKLE111,

    If you have the Firefox menu at the top left, press Alt to temporarily show the menu bar. Go in view > toolbars and enable the bar of Navigation, the bookmarks bar and menu bar. This will give you a more familiar look for Firefox.

    You can also read the Knowledge Base article the Navigation buttons such as back, home, bookmarks and recharge are missing. There are lots of good information in there also.

    If this does not work, you can try the cor - el tips in this thread.

    Hope this helps!

  • Have Wdws XP using Outlook Express. Recently had work on computer. All of a sudden all the old emails deleted coming on Inbox. (Over 2500) Back in early 2010. Electronic mail stops. What is the problem?

    I have Wdws XP and using outlook Express.

    Work done recently on my computer, and now all the old emails that I had deleted in early 2010 are coming into my Inbox, (over 2500). I guess it is the overload that stops at the email, so I can't receive new messages.

    Thases e-mails had been permanently deleted, supposedly. From which they come, and how can I fix it?

    You had a frame that says "leave a copy of messages on the server. There is another setting that says "remove when deleting server ', but it was not selected.

    Outlook Express knows the messages that he has already recovered, but this information is a lost if you, for example, recreate your e-mail account. Then all messages go down again if they were left on the server.

    If the extraction has ceased, it might be because...

    one) you forced by cancellation or may be disconnected from the internet (in which case there are more to come), or

    (b) he finished, in which case old emails cannot be retrieved again (unless you are replicating what just happened), all mail must be picked up

    To avoid what is happening in the future...

    (a) according to the State of the parameters mentioned above, you may need to delete messages via webmail, and/or

    (b) to change the settings

    To change the settings...

    • Click on tools
    • Click on accounts...
    • Click on the Mail tab
    • Highlight (click) your e-mail account and then click on the properties button
    • Click the Advanced tab

    3 background settings are what control the things...

    "Leave a copy of messages on the server.

    "Remove from server after x days.

    "Remove the server after deleting in" deleted items "

    Adjust them as see fit you.
