    Is there a way to make pages auton save documents that I am working on?

    Are you really using OSX 10.4.11?
    Lion and Mountain Lion have auto save.
    For older Systems install ForeverSave Lite.

  • Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I just want to type a letter and add pictures and titles, and Pages keeps changing font sizes and doesn't let me "Do it my way".  I HATE this!

    Is there any way to turn off the auto formatting in Pages?  I'm using a blank document, so I figured I could write my letter and add pictures any way I wanted to.  But NO!  Pages keeps changing the font size!  I typed a large heading as a title, and when I try to change to a smaller font for the body of the letter, it changes the size back to the larger size!  I am getting SO FRUSTRATED!  I've spent over an hour trying to get the stupid program to let me just type my letter!  Can anyone help?

    The only one left is the "unsubmitted text" dialogue, which would not be a problem if I were not a Facebook user; after updating the "Richard is..." field (which does not require a manual submit to actually send) I get the above message. This is obviously Safari just not realising that the info has been sent and is therefore (I imagine) one for Apple themselves to answer!!
    You're welcome Rich. Glad to help.
    Not being a Facebook User, I'm not sure how to respond to the error situation. However, this would be something to report to Apple as a bug via the Safari Menu. First, open to the page in question, then select "Report Bugs to Apple".

  • Is there a way to have firefox save web pages from a batch list of urls

    Is there a plugin for firefox to load urls from a list and save the pages including images to file

    I'm not aware of such an add-on, but it might exist. There also might be a Greasemonkey userscript that will load the pages and fire the save.

  • For John:  my iMac accepted the flash drive when I plugged it in.  However, when I try to save a pages document, there is no reference to saving to that drive.

    Response to John:  am new to using flash drive.  It is the correct version and my computer recognizes it.  However, when I try to save a pages document to that drive, there is no reference to it for saving.  Only my hard drive seems to be available.

    Hi. I suspect your flash drive is formatted with an NTFS file system (this is the default for Windows drives) and as such is read-only on a Mac. Try re-formatting on the either the Windows or Mac computer with a FAT32 file system. Be aware though that you will lose all data on your flash drive so back up first. Also maximum file size is limited to 2GB, is this a problem?

    LIon (OSX 10.7) embed an Autosave and a Versions feature at system level.
    iWork components are using them.
    The question and the given answer were dedicated to apps running under older systems.

    It's perfectly odd to assume that an application deliver this or that feature.
    It's perfectly wrong to write that "most every Apple - heck most every modern product does it automatically".
    TextEdit did that but iLife apps didn't and I'm not sure that Apple's Pro apps were doing that before Lion.
    More, some users are ranting in several threads against the Autosave and Versions features introduced by Lion.

  • How can I save a page, so I can find it later? (i.e. is there a "favorites" section?)

    I want to save a page to a section like "my favorites" or something like this, so the next time I don't have to looking for it again. (Internet explorer has "add to my favorites" as an option. Is there anything like this in Mozilla?)

    In Firefox favorites are called bookmarks, for details on using them see the [[bookmarks]] article.

  • Does auto-save and version work with old apps like pages '09?

    Hello,
    I'm new Lion user. I tried auto-save and version with textedit and it works.
    But i'm not sure it works with pages '09.

    It does work if you install the update from yesterday.

  • Pages V5 COULDN'T AUTO-SAVE DOCUMENT error message

    Why am I getting this error message when I attempt to save a document, duplicate a document, move a document--"Couldn't Auto-Save Document" I cannot save the document. I originally opened this document from the server computer to my laptop, made changes on the laptop at remote office and now I cannot save it, even to a new location on the laptop.

    Hi.
    I was just now suddenly afflicted by this problem.
    Have new macbook pro retina - iOS X 10.9.2.
    Everything is up to date.
    Even Pages is up to date. checked it (of course), as soon as I started getting the error message every time I tried to save. Even tried saving or 'exporting' to Word, PDF...still same message.
    Now...I recall that any time an app is 'acting up' (i.e. not responding the way it should)...it usually means that it either needs updating, or it has some sort of 'bug' to it.
    If it needs updating...then simply update it. I checked that option...and got message that Pages is indeed up to date.
    So...opted to simply 'force quit' pages (as well as quit many other still-open apps that I wasn't using at the moment...to try to cut down on excess memory being used...thinking that may be part of the problem.
    Also...thought that maybe my hard disk was getting rather full...so opted also to move all my music, movies & pictures to an external hard disk to free up internal storage space (by eventually deleting all after first backing up to external hard disk)...and then of course finally freeing up all space by emptying the trash.
    Then...after force quitting pages (and all other non-used apps at the time)...and still before completing the transfer of all those heavy files to an external hard disk...then I re-opened pages to test it...and 'WHOALA!"...it worked just fine!!!
    So...it seems that this was the solution...at least for me at this moment...to simply force quit the renegade app, and then re-start it.
    If that didn't work, I was going to simply shut down the computer...and do a complete re-start. That is another option that often times gives a new look to life for apps which are acting up.
    OK...just thought to put in my two cents-worth here.
    Hope this helps someone else.

  • Hey Adobe Team- is there a rationale behind not having the "auto-save" feature in illustrator? It would be a VERY helpful option :)

    We have had several issues with illustrator just "shutting down" before we could save the item. Which causes much "double work". So we would LOOOOOOVE the auto save feature you have in photoshop.

    I'd suggest that you look for the cause of the crash first. It really shouldn't crash that often!
    Illustrator does not have an auto save function, unfortunately. Try to get into the habit of saving regularly. For extra safety, use something like Autosavior as mentioned above. Or if you want the additional confidence of using something that's been reviewed by Apple then you could use:
    Ai Auto Save

  • Is there a setting (eg auto save) I have overlooked?

    Thunderbird V31.1.1 Sometimes the same email will appear many times in the "Drafts" folder long after it has been sent, they mostly all have the same "created time"

    From the menu bar select '''Tools-Options-Composition-General'''
    The first check box is the auto save settings.
    No menu bar? Press the alt key.

  • I have a site I do business with. They do not authorize passwords unless a dealer. I do no have on an auto save function, as I want to type my passwords in ea

    I have a site I do business with. They do not authorize passwords unless you are a dealer. I do not have passwords on an auto save function, as I want to type my passwords in each time for security. My password for this site will only work a short WHILE, AND THEN it will not be recognized by the site and I cannot get in.
    Then I must contact the company to reset or clear it manually on their end so it can be reset. They always give me the SAME SETUP PASSWORD to use. I use it, then I RESET PASSWORD on my end. The computer seems to remember my user NAME AT least on my computer as it comes up once I start typing the username in. They SAY IT is a settings issue on my end. I do not have this problem on any other site even THOSE WITH higher SECURITY. I need to FIX the issue OR may LOSE ACCESS To the site as is very aggravating for them and they say other have had the problem but usually with chrome but never constantly.I am not that computer literate ,but my husband is an IT Security professor and textbook writer but says doesn't really know Firefox. I do not really want to store passwords on computer as have been hacked several times. He and I do not understand some of the terms mentioned. since it is not a problem with other sites it should be fixable. Please me help using terms I or my husband can understand without having to give Firefox all my passwords. I would be happy to set up something different just for this one site if I need to but need easy instructions. Have cleared the cookies before but it still happens. What setting do I need to change or set to fix this? the other questions that come up seem very different and do not apply. FF 22 now but happened w other FF versions.

    I'm having a little trouble understanding the part about your password having to be reset. Why is that happening??
    Let's start with Firefox's settings:
    (1) You can configure the password manager feature on this tab:
    orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Security
    There is a checkbox to enable/disable the feature.
    There also is a "Saved Passwords" button to review and remove any passwords you do not want Firefox to keep.
    That tab also has a feature to set a Master Password so that no one can use your saved passwords without knowing the Master Password. You may need to exit Firefox in order for Firefox to ask for that again.
    Related articles:
    * [[Password manager - Remember, delete and change saved passwords in Firefox]]
    * [[Use a Master Password to protect stored logins and passwords]]
    (2) Site-specific permissions
    If you want to use the password manager for other sites but NOT a particular site, you can configure that in the Permissions Manager.
    In a new tab, type or paste '''about:permissions''' in the address bar and press Enter.
    After the page loads, use the search box in the upper left corner to narrow down the list to the site you want to configure. Highlight the site on the left side, and on the right side, choose Block under Store Passwords.
    (3) Form autocomplete suggestions
    Separate from passwords, Firefox remembers entries you've made into forms (in most cases) and lists the matching ones below the form field in a drop-down.
    To clear a suggestion, press the down arrow key to highlight it and press the Delete key.
    To turn off this feature, see this article: [[Control whether Firefox automatically fills in forms with your information]].
    To review and selectively edit or delete form history entries, you need an add-on. For example, you could try this one: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/form-history-control/

  • Auto Save - Lost My Homework - Power Outage

    Help - I am brand new to Mac - I love my new iMac 24", but the power went out tonight as I was in the middle of my homework assignment. I was using Pages to write my report and had not saved in the last 30 min's. I lost everything I had done! Can you tell me how to set a auto-save function so if I have another power outage, I won't lose all my work again? If Mac's don't have this feature, is there 3rd. party software that will do this? If a PC can do this, I know a Mac can do it, but I just don't know how to turn that feature on.

    Rick,
    I believe there is no such feature in Pages. And a Web search recently did not uncover 3rd-party s/w for Mac to do this, although I did see a link to someone who had written a script for it. All in all, I'd say for the moment it's easier to train ourselves to be paranoid and hit Apple-S every few minutes :o)

  • Auto-Save-Option with increasing filenames (counter, timestamp eg.)

    Hello!
    I want to pdf a job of 30.000 single printer pages, which are generated by a computer programme.
    I'm able to choose the Autos-Save-Option by setting a dedicated folder at the printer settings. But there ist no option to install an increasing filename (counter, timestamp eg.). For that reason Acrobat overwrites the previous file each time (30.000x).
    In some freeware-tools this funktion is implemented. Where or in which version can I find this funktion in Adobe Acrobat?
    Thank you for your help.
    Greetings from Germany!

    Hi, HiddenMist,
    Following the suggestion, I have removed all information I can remove. I have set all settings to "contacts only" that can be set to such. I cannot change my avatar because I cannot save changes (without adding my last name, which is currently blank). I have left everything blank that I can leave blank. I have been contacted three times after I have made these changes, as suggested.
    In the Windows Desktop version of the Skype software, I can navigate to my profile settings: Skype -> Profile -> Edit your profile.  
    My work-around still works ... for me, at least, which is why I continue to recommend it.
    Hi, Bartholomue, and welcome to the community,
    Did you know that if you look up how to delete your name from the Skype directory, it says that you are effectively disabling your account? Your name will not show up in searches, and it will remain in the contact lists of those who have already added you, but those contacts will no longer be able to call you.
    Yes, indeed, this is true.
    Best regards,
    Elaine

  • Auto Save and Versions not working

    Auto Save and Versions are not working in pages or numbers.  I've worked on a project for over five minutes when I "Xed" out the drop down box opened up and asked if I wanted to save.  Any ideas why?  Also, how do you open up versions?

    There is the problem with that sentiment. I don't like the loss of "save as" either. I think the new save/duplicate paradigm has more steps and is poorly implemented to boot. Yet, people complain far more about Versions and Autosave than they do about "save as"? Why on earth would anyone complain about Autosave? There is no user interface change involved with Autosave. It is entirely in the background. If you don't like Autosave, you are free to randomly delete files from your machine and from Time Machine if you want. I don't see what the point of that would be, but it would give you the same effect of not having Autosave. There is more a user impact to Versions, but it still a really cool feature. Why would you not want to have access to old versions of your document? It isn't going to eat much disk space. The last time someone complained about disk space usage by versions I calculated that it would take 38 years for them to run out of space due to Versions. If you don't want to use Versions, don't click on the Versions tools. Problem solved.
    I don't want people lumping clear losers (like no more "save as") with clear winners like Autosave and Versions.
