I am looking for a cached copy of a website (www.shopthepackersgear.com).
They have recently changed their website, and I would like to find a copy of their old one. When I use Google Cache it skips by the page then goes to google.com.
I only need the version from maybe 2 or 3 weeks back. Is there some way to find this or did the people who own the site delete all evidence? I'm not sure what is possible these days and I need help.

I'm trying to get a cached copy of this school website: http://moodle.da.org/course/view.php?id=316
I can access the page just fine, but the cached copy redirects to the login timeout site requiring a username and password. If I enter them, I get redirected to the current page instead of its cached one.
Is there a way so that I can get a cached copy of this site?

I was wondering if there is anyway to view an older cached version of a website than the one that shows up when you click cached on google.

3 days ago, Google changed the HTML of YouTube to not include the words "like 132" "dislike 10" etc. Now the ratings values of videos are encrypted in unsearchable buttons:
<img src="https://s.ytimg.com/yts/img/pixel-vfl3z5WfW.gif" class="yt-uix-button-icon yt-uix-button-icon-watch-like yt-sprite" alt="I like this"></span><span class="yt-uix-button-content">238,315 </span></button>
I had a Google Search hack for YouTube: I would search:
"like 100..200" "dislike 0..2" Moog site:youtube.com
I loved typing that phrase as I found some truly amazing results using it that I could never find using YouTube's awkward "ratings filter".
However, Google has now changed YouTube and purged Google search of all old YouTube pages.
How can I search old versions so I can do my YouTube ratings search hack?

I would like to ask if it is possible to bring back the "Cached" link in Google search results (back next to the result title).
So does anyone know of (or if it's possible to make) an extension or userscript that will move the Cache link, widen the search results container and maybe even remove the hover preview thing?
I saw some time ago that there were some userscripts to revert the google theme back to white instead of this new google-plus-marketing gray theme.
My main point, was that I consider the moving of the "Cached" button a huge step backward for the cost of some marketing of a small new feature (the annoying hovered-preview); because frankly, there's no other reason why Google would have tempered with its previously perfect position.
this is what Google is doing: makes me break flow, move pointer towards an invisible button, hover, move pointer again upward, click on "Cached".
this is what Google used to do: make me move the pointer just about 10 px from where it naturally sits while reading the result and click on "Cached".
I want the latter back. Even if I have to write a damn userscript or extension myself.
But is it possible?

What I want to do is making application that uses chrome cache file which is saved in local disk.
(Only separate cached file. e.g. f_001bf0)
ChromeCacheView application is very similar with my purpose.
I already know how to convert cached file to readable file(.js, .css etc)
but can't understand how to find that file.
I read document about chrome cache file but just understand existence of index, data files and can't understand how file name is decided.
Is there any API to manage and search cache files?
or
I should analyze more low level?
Summary
I can't understand how Chrome convert file's web URL to local cached file name.
For example,
imgnews.naver.net/image/sports/2012/sports_main/main/center/1341266359_file_thumbnail_9.jpg -> f_001b8b

I tried accessing the results by typing cache:(website) in Chrome, didn't work. Tried typing http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:(website). Didn't work. Wayback machine has the site archived, but only the front page. Also, Bing can find other topics and such on the website, and so can the mobile Google search. I just can't access the cached pages of the site at all, but Google and Bing are crawling the site and showing search results. Does anyone know why?

Google can cache some sites and serve as proof that the site showed some different content a while ago, but the cache can be refreshed and the registered content can be overwritten.
The Internet Archive's Wayback Machine can document the state of only some select sites, and is currently down.
I was trying to freeze a given website using the Virtual Notary but it doesn't work for a specific URL.
Is there any alternative?

I need to save a topic on Facebook. The page contains a very offensive topic, which the author has deleted, when he realized he could be prosecuted.
I tried:
GOOGLE
404. Thats an error.
The requested URL /search?q="MY FACEBOOK URL CONTAINING THE MENTIONED TOPIC"
was not found on this server.
That’s all we know.
How can I open a cached version of that page in order to save it for legal purposes?

I'm a webmaster at an organization that has a private wiki. We have a MediaWiki instance hosted on a GoDaddy shared hosting environment. My supervisor is asking that we have an app for our employee's mobile devices that can work offline, so that employees can view the information on our wiki when they are someplace that doesn't have wireless service.
In other words, we want a mobile app that can cache some of the content of our private MediaWiki instance on the user's phone.
Something like this, ideally, should exist, given that MediaWiki is an open-source project, and is the CMS for one of the biggest websites in the world (wikipedia). If an app doesn't exist exist to view and cache an arbitrary MediaWiki instance, perhaps we could:
- modify the source code for the Wikipedia app; OR
- we could find an app that caches the contents of an RSS feed, and then use MediaWiki extensions to place recently-accessed and recently-modified articles into an RSS feed
Thoughts?
