removed the stick without saving, now "cannot open".

I removed my memory stick in a race and I forgot to save it.  Now I am panicking because I worked one week on the file now "cannot be opened.

I tried to double click on the preview then and it just shows a picture of the logo pages bearing the name of the document.  I really hope someone can help me to get it back because I'm really stuck, please help!

Hannah,

I'm afraid there is bad news in England tonight.

It is quite possible to damage, a USB key which will eject not correctly and abruptly removed as you did. When you do that at the request of Pages which is its continuously (after the first recorded) on the USB, you interrupt a write operation and cause a file corruption.

The bad news is that due to the internal structure of a v5 Pages document, once it is damaged, there no recovery of its content. Except, that the document was once on your boot drive and took a Time Machine backup, or there's another copy somewhere. You can restore the old version. If you have just created, updated this document on the USB key, then ouch.

You can try this USB mounting and then from Launchpad: others: disk utility, click on the USB stick in the left panel and then click the first aid in the utility disc toolbar. Once this is done, select the name of the device (for example, Sandisk blah blah) and in the menu file: eject. Quit disk utility.

Mount your USB stick again and see if you can open this document with Pages or preview Pages. Faint hope, but maybe just...
