When something tides you over, it keeps you going for the time being.

Example

You take your camera outside on a sunny day, but you have forgotten the lens hood. You make an improvised hood out of a roll of paper and an elastic band. That tides you over until you get the hood.

What is the idiom for the tide turned over?

There is no idiom "the tide turned over." There is a saying that "the tide turned," but it's not an idiom because you can figure out what it means by thinking. Tides "turn" when they shift from high tide to low tide - the currents either go toward the beach or away from it depending on what tide is coming up. People say "the tide turned" or "the tide will turn" to mean that situations in life are changing, just in the same way that the tides change.
