I can't delete a page in Pages. In Thumbnail is grouping pages together and won't let me delete it from the group

How can I "de-group" pages in Pages. I want to delete a blank page, and it refuses to let me.

This answer applies to Pages 4/iWork '09 or earlier. I don't use Pages 5 often enough to understand how it handles pages in the sidebar in 5.2.
Pages doesn't "see" a page as you & I do. Pages sees logical pages, separated by section breaks, rather than physical pages. You can see this by showing thumbnails, View > Show Page Thumbnails, & then clicking on a page thumbnail. The yellow border around groups of pages shows the logical page. You need to insert section breaks before & after the physical pages to separate them.

    I want to delete a file off a thumb drive but get error 1407 which won't let me delete or trash the file.  What do I do?

    Hmmm, what Format is the Thumb drive?
    In the Mac/AFP world...
      errFSNotAFolder               = -1407, /* Expected a folder, got a file */
    Is there perhaps a colon or Backslash, or slash in the filename?

  • ICal keeps sending alarms for past events and won't let me delete items from calendar, I hit delete but the event just keeps multiplying on my calendar?

    iCal just started repeatedly sending me alarms a couple of days ago. I thought deleting the event from my calendar would help but it won't let me delete them, they just keep multiplying in my calendar. Help please

    Hello again,
    Well I seem to have overcome the problem, but not easily, and not by identifying the cause. I don't like that I don't know what caused the trouble. I make no guarantees, but this is what I did (on an iMac with Snow Leopard 10.6.8). Be sure to create backup copies of your files first:
    [Note: before you do any of this, you may want to try running Disk Utility program (found in Applications/Utilities/) and run the "Repair Permissions" option. See if that solves anything, but it didn't for me]
    a) I exported my iCal as an archive: Menu item, "File/Export/iCal Archive...". This won't likely do you any good, though, as something was wrong with it and I could not re-import it. But try anyhow.
    b) After backing them up, I deleted the folders and contents inside the Calendars folder: "Users/<your user name>/Library/Calendars/<subdirectories>". To create a backup, right-click on the Calendar folder and choose "compress Calendars" from the pop-up menu. Then drag the folder contents into the trash.
    c) After creating backup copies, delete (drag into the trash) these preferences files found in "Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences" (the slashes delimit the folder names):
      Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.plist
      Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iCal.helper.plist
      Users/<your username>/Library/Preferences/ByHost/com.apple.iCal.helper.<some convoluted hex number>.plist
    d) Restart your computer;
    e) Launch iCal and reimport the individual calendar files you exported earlier.
    Hopefully all is well.
    Let me emphasize again that you will not likely succeed in reimporting the calendar archive. In the first place it likely contains corrupted data that caused your trouble in the first place. So you will need to import the individual calendars that have been exported. Be very certain to export these individually first.
    And if you want to make doubly certain, then copy and paste some of your important and key events into a TextEdit file and save that file in case you don't succeed.
    Perhaps you subscribed to some online calendar? If I recall correctly I had imported a calendar when the World Cup Soccer series was happening; I speculate that might have contributed to the issue. I wish I could have found exactly what caused the trouble. It may have been some older, less compatible format that was retained through a series of Mac OS updates.
    Good luck.

  • I changed my iCloud account ID but my new phone won't let me change it. It keeps asking me for for my old ID password and won't let me delete the account unless I turn off the find my phone feature. It won't let me do this because it will not accept my ol

    I changed my ICloud account  ID but my new phone won't let me change it unless I put in my old password and turn off the find my phone feature. But the phone will not recognize my old password. Can someone help me?

    New iPhones don't come setup with an Apple ID/Password. What you're experiencing is called Activation Lock, & unless you know the original Apple ID/Password that was originally used to first activate this phone, you won't be able to reactivate it.
    You can login to iCloud.com, from any computer, use Find My Phone to locate & erase the phone. But, you'll still need to know the original Apple ID/Password to reactivate it.

  • How can I change my apple ID from the APP store so I can update my  app? my computer is stuck with an old email and won't let me change it..

            Hello, Im trying to upgrade Imovie and whatever app are about to update in the future, the problem is the my Imac is stuck with an old email on the APP store. I try to change it and nothing happen, when I put my apple ID it send me to change the password and what Im trying to do is to put my new email in the system so would be able to update my computer. You know when you press the update button a little box drop with your email and all you have to put is your password thats where my old email is stuck pls someone help me with that little problem i'll appreciate it... thanks

    An Apple ID isn't necessarily "linked" with your email other than for recovery reasons. So, as long as you know the Apple ID password, an old email isn't catastrophic. Apple ID != e-mail.
    Now, if it's really bugging you and you really want to change it, if you log in to http://appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address, this should update your Apple ID. There will be a couple hoops involved with this (i.e. verification of email change by sending email to rescue/alternate email. Alternate email can't be the same as the new primary. The new primary can't have ever been used as/with an Apple ID. etc...).

  • Just keeps repeating shut down. and won't let me delete it

    '''bold text'''it's like firefox has created a loop and keeps repeating itself.

    Try using Textwrangler (free from the App Store).  It will do what you want, and you can associate your .fasta files to it.  It will save with the correct (.fasta) file extension.  You can even set it up to keep backup copies that you can compare the current version against.

  • My account is 99% full and won't let me delete pictures/emails to make room.

    When trying to delete, a box pops up and says we have exceeded our quota. I am trying to delete pictures/emails to make room, but it won't let me. If I am over quota shouldn't it be happy I want to delete things and let me?

    Move all good emails that you wish to keep out of Inbox into suitable folders for organising mail.
    Right click on inbox and select 'compact'
    Right click on Deleted folder and select 'Empty Deleted'
    Right click on Deleted folder and select 'Compact'
    Now try to delete some emails.

  • Just got my first iPhone, an iPhone5. I added the contacts via my Mac, but the phone on its own added my 5000 Facebook friends as contacts and won't let me delete them. How can I delete them? Thanks.

    I just got my first cell phone, an iPhone5.  I added my contacts via my Mac.  But the phone on its own imported the contact info of all 5000 of my Facebook "friends."  When I go to one of them, hit edit, and try to delete them, the phone tells me that I cannot delete a Facebook friend.  This is a nightmare.  Please, I beg you, tell me how I can get these Facebook friends off of my contacts list.  Thank you!

  • How do i download the new software onto my computer so then i can install the new itunes? i dont have the mac app thing either and it wont let me do it from the itunes because my server is not working. how do i fix it?

    Hey so i have a version of a mac i think it is kinda old, it is the all white one i got it like 4 years ago maybe. I got a new ipod recently and i cannot downloade any music onto it. this is because i tried to download the new itunes which it said i needed and now when i try to install it. It says i need a new software so i try to download that and is says i need the mac app or something. but it says i need the new software to get that. so i went onto itunes and clicked the apple and pressed new software and it goes onto this little thing that says my internet is alright but my server has not been connecting. My computer is connected to my school and they updated the server thing and now it wont connect, so i can't win. how do i fix this and download everything i neew?

    First things first: Pull down the Apple Menu and select "about this Mac" and tell us what version of OS X is currently on your computer.

  • Itunes crashes with no crash report and won't let me delete the app...

    If noone can help me I may seriously lose it...
    Mactel user with recent crash issues with itunes...crashes consistently about twenty to thirty seconds after opening and offers no crash report...downloaded appzapper and when I try to empty my trash bin I get the following message which I suspect may have something to do with the crashing:
    The operation cannot be completed becasue the item "ituneshelper" is in use.
    This was happening with 7.0 and now with 7.1...any ideas??
    Thanks in advance!
    20" Mactel   Mac OS X (10.4.6)  

    Look in /Library/Logs for a file named itunes.crash.log.
    IF you see that file, email me a copy, and I'll take a look at it. Please also include a link to this Discussions thread.
