Help with pages for mac.

hi i have pages for my macbook pro, when i do some work on it for college i have to keep converting it after iv finished which then creates another document, because college computers are windows and only support word. is there any way i can get it too convert itself after iv finished with it? because im getting work done on it and its created multiple documents when exporting and im losing track of everything. either that or shall i just buy word?

Pages is quite different to Word in the way it works and many of its features, so you will always be exporting to Word, not saving.
TextEdit and Bean, both free, will work and save in .doc as will several other applications, LibreOffice, also free, is the closest to MsOffice.

Help with Excel for Mac

I have Excel for my Mac & was working on a spreadsheet. It froze & I force quit so it recovered the document. When I finished working on the document I clicked to save the document & it asked if I wanted to replace it & I said yes. It then told me that the document had an error or was damaged. Now I can't find it at all. How can I recover the original document? Thanks for any & all help.

Where can I get help with Office for Mac

Hi everyone,
I use Microsoft Office for Windows at work, and often go to one of the groups at msnews.microsoft.com to ask questions and get help. I would like to be able to check from home to see if anyone has answered my questions, but I can't figure out how to access this from my Mac. Do I need special software for this? At work I use Outlook Express. What should I use from my Mac?
Thank you,
Rob

Many of those groups can also be accessed on the web with any web browser via http://groups.google.com/
There are several NNTP news readers like Newswatcher and MT Newswatcher on http://www.versiontracker.com/ and http://www.macupdate.com/ which tie into that newsgroup protocol if your internet service provider supports it.

Edit in Pages for Mac - Download from iCloud in Word format

Does anyone know if the following is a documented limitation?
Create a Pages document in Pages for iPad.
Log in to iCloud.com using Safari. You can download the document as a Word document. (Click on the document > click on the Download button > select "Word".)
Open the document in Pages for Mac.
Modify anything in the text and then Save the file.
Log in to iCloud.com using Safari. You can no longer download the document as a Word document. You can only download it as a Pages document.
(Steps 1 and 2 are not necessary to reproduce the problem. The limitation is there with a new dcument from Pages for Mac as well.)
Does anyone know if there is any easy work around or fix?
The quickest one I can think of is to open the document in Pages for Mac again and then export to Word. This is of course impossible if you are at a location where you do not have Pages for Mac.

Hi Barry,
I think we have not understood each other.
Step 3 is not opening a completely "foreign" document. It is opening a Pages document created by Pages on the iPad. But ok, let's call it "slightly foreign", as the formats between the Mac and iPad versions clearly are not identical.
I do not get what you mean by "first time". What I would like to do is to edit a file freely on iPad and Mac back and forth to my heart's content several times. That I can do. In the end, once I am done with the file, I would like to export it to Word from iCloud using Safari or another browser. That I cannot do.
This export would mean I can open the file on a Mac without Pages or on a Windows PC. It would also mean that I can have files on the iCloud, editable from iPad or Mac, but only accessed from Windows, when I sit at the PC and discover the need to get the latest version.
That export works fine for documents I create with Pages for iPad, but as soon as I touch them with Pages for Mac, they can no longer be exported to Word from Safari.
Regards
Magnus

Problems with the new Pages for Mac

I'm starting to see countless problems running the new Pages for Mac (5.0.1) and I can't find a way to resolve them.
1. when I'm typing and want to delete word(s), I'll use the alt+delete function for ease, however this starts deleting words after the cursor, merging words together and changing my sentece. It comes from when I'm deleting as the new pages is giving me the dropdown menu for the autocorrect word.
2. grammar check is off. Namely, it picks a random point in a word and moves on from there. EX: "because of the" will have "use of the" underlined in green and give me recommendations to change to "because of the" or "cause of the". Using those recommendations, I'll end up with something like: "becabecause of the"
3. the find and replace function jumps around in the paper, and sometimes doesn't even display the word currently selected (leaving the user to scroll around looking for what is selected)
4. Autocorrect has vanished for some reason: no autocapitalization, no turning fractions such as 1/2 into a tidy and neat fraction with small numbers for numerators/denominators, etc.
I'm still using it, and these are what I have found, so there may be more later as I continue to use it. If anyone has found ways around these bugs, please let me know.
Thanks!

Pages 5 now uses the system autocorrect, which does not have as many features as the one inside Pages 4. Some things you can add manually there. Others you have to ask Apple to add via

Or continue to use Pages 4 instead.

Send Issues with Outlook for Mac (2011 / V15) and Exchange 2013 SP1

Hi all,
we have a strange issue with only with Outlook for Mac Users (version 2011 and the newest Outlook Version (V15) from Office 365) connected to our Exchange Server 2013 SP1. Some emails which we send out to the exactly same recipient are not sent through our

We have sent 8 emails with subject "test1, test2, test3...". Only test 3-6 was arriving to the recipient. The other emails are in the "sent" folder but it was not sent out through the Exchange.
What we can see with "Get-MessageTrackingLog" is, that the Recipients and MessageSubject are empty for these emails:

Problem with facetime for mac

hello guy! I've got a problem with facetime for mac.My sister has a I-pod touch fourth generation with factime but i cna't phone her a message come on my mac.It say "xxx can't receive facetime's calls"!Can you help me??

Thanks, Dah•veed.
I did see mention of using Google Public DNS while I was searching the forums prior to posting, but to be honest didn't think it was a DNS-related problem.
However, to rule it out I've set the prefered DNS servers on my router to Google's, but FaceTime still disconnects after 4-5 seconds when calling between me and my brother-in-law. It doesn't matter who initiates the call.
As a test, before I made the changes to my router, I logged into FaceTime as him on my MBP and tried calling myself on my iMac, and that was successful.
The same test between the two iMacs when they were here was unsuccessful, so now I'm definitely thinking it's something on the '08 iMac.
Now I just need to figure out what...

Problem with Twitter for Mac notifications

Hello,
I have a strange problem with Twitter for Mac. On both my home and office Macs. New posts appear in app window but there aren't any notifications even though notifications are set in preferences to show in both dock and menubar. Perhaps anyone noticed similar strange behaviour? I didn't find anything similar on Twitter forums.
Thanks in advance.

go to Terminal and post this:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/support/lsregister -kill -seed
if it doesn't have that specific directory try this:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchSe rvices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -seed
once the scanning is done (can be short or long, depends on how heavy your system is) RESTART the computer.
when you're back, go to Apple>system preferences>extensions.... guess who's there.
I hope it helped.

Does Lion work with Office for Mac?

Does Lion work ok with Office for Mac? I have the latest version of Office for Mac, but it is the cornerstone of my working life and I would hate to upgrade and find that it doesn't work.

Yes, Office 2011 works perfectly on Lion. Only versions 2004 and older have a problem as Rosetta is no longer supported.
I hope this helps.

I have problems with office for mac screen resolution, specially with excel

I have problems with office for mac screen resolution, specially with excel ?

For starters, make sure to Check for Updates on any of the Help menus, and make sure the product has all the latest patches. MS did come out with a patch addressing the display issues on Retina Macs. Latest patchlevel is 14.3.2.
We are talking about Office:Mac 2011, right?

Pages for Mac document can't be opened on Pages for Ipad?

If I create a doc with any of the templates availables in Pages for Mac (Mountain Lion, and stored on iCloud), shouldn't be possible to edit it in the Pages for iPad (IOS 7) version? It just says "Document can't be opened" or something like that.

When you create a document in iWork on the mac, a lot of formatting is lost when you save it to iCloud,
That is not true to my knowledge, as you can reopen the file from iCloud on the Mac without problem.
or you try to open it in iWork for iOS.
Again, where are you getting this from? My understanding is that formatting from OSX is retained but a degree of it can't be edited or created in iOS.
Sandro
Where are you? Generally you can get phone support depending how and when you bought either your device or software.
Yes unfortunately Apple periodically makes statements that are not true and has been held to account by the consumer authorities. It has happened here in Australia and the EEC has done the same. Unfortunately it is based in the USA where in recent times corporations have not been held to account.

Perhaps you're enjoying the bittersweet changes in iTunes 8.1. Many users, me included, have seen our 2nd gen shuffles become much more inconvenient to use after this upgrade.

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x? If not, what is the alternative? Concrete issue is that I have received a .pages document and need to edit. Many thanks

Is there a Pages for MAC OS 10.7.x?
If not, what is the alternative?
Concrete issue is that I have received a ".pages" document and need to edit. I am running Mac Pro with OS X 10.7.
Many thanks

It is important that you determine if the .pages document originated from Pages ’08, Pages ’09, Pages v1.7.2 (IOS 6), or was exported as Pages ’09 from Pages v5+ on OS X Mavericks. If it meets one of these criteria, then you can edit the .pages document on your Lion machine with Pages ’09 from the iWork ’09 DVD. Pages documents can not be opened with TextEdit, but can be viewed with Preview.
On the otherhand, if the .pages document was created with Pages for iCloud beta, Pages v2.2.1 (IOS 7), or Pages v5+ on Mavericks, then your only recourse is to edit the document with Pages for iCloud beta. Since Fall 2013, Apple changed the .pages document format into something even more malevolently proprietary. Apple word processing products since this timeframe, are subsets of the Pages ’09 features/functionality, and will filter out content they do not support.
A Pages ’09 document is usually a compressed (zip) folder archive that looks like a regular file to the Finder. The newer Pages family of products only write out a package that to the Finder, also appears to be a regular file, but in reality it is a folder. The newer Pages documents must be zipped before placed on non-Apple filesystems.
