Pages '08 wont save

Hi all,
Pages '08 v3.0.3
OS X 10.6.6
I have created a Pages document which is 3 A3 pages as a poster size file of some work examples. However, when I go to save the file, it almost gets there but fails at the end.
This means I can't shut down my computer for fear of losing my work.
The reason for not being able to save the file is:
Couldn’t save image. - theme-files/draftingtilegray.jpg
I suspect this is a mask I copied from Keynote, but I believe I deleted all possible images it may have been and the file still will not save.
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks,
Anthony.

Hi fruhulda,
Thanks for the tip.
I actually created a new document and then copied each page (from the original thumbnails - not individual elements on each layout) to the new document - saving after each page transfer. All saved fine!
However, when I looked at the heading I noticed this difference: the new document was called "file name".pages (Word Processing) and the original, which would not save, was called "file name".pages (Page Layout).
Do you think this had anything to do with the inability to save?
At the same time, are you able to clarify the distinction for me. When I went to remove the layout breaks in the new document, each page would disappear completely, perhaps because they came from the Page Layout file previously and there was no text on each page, just linked text boxes and images.
Sorry if that's not clear - it's a bit strange for me to explain.
Anthony.

  • After 10.5.1 update, Pages won't save

    After I installed Leopard, Pages would not save new documents or save new versions of existing documents. It would crash and leave a black outline of the Save window on the desktop, requiring me to Force Quit. I trashed the preferences and repaired permissions and everything went back to normal. However, after updating to 10.5.1 just now, this problem has returned -- and my previous solution no longer works.
    Any ideas?

    Peggy,
    I didn't repair the permissions until I experienced the problems with Pages after the initial installation. After I did this, things worked fine. Like I said, after updating to 10.5.1 yesterday, the problem returned and after repairing permissions didn't get things back to normal, I reinstalled iWork '08.
    Here's something odd. Even though I trashed the entire iWork '08, when I reinstalled, the installer told me that zero space was required to install iWork '08. So maybe there's some other disk issue involved?
    The Repair Disk option is grayed out in Disk Utilities. There's an instruction to run the reapir application from a CD or DVD, but Leopard only has one installation disk and it doesn't have any independently running repair program on it.

  • How do I change a filename in Pages when the "save as" option doesn't appear?

    How do I change a filename for a Word doc that I imported into Pages?  The "save as" option doesn't appear and Pages assigns my documents arbitrary filenames and puts them in odd places like templates.

  • Saving a Pages document: when I first save a pages document it saves and I don't know where it goes or what its name is.  I want to be asked every time I save a pages document what to name it and where to save it. How do I set this preference?

    I'll guess that you've used a page layout document & pasting created a text box. You can add more pages & create linked text boxes, but I think you'd be better of using a word processing document. In word processing documents there is a basic text layer & additional pages will be created as needed to fit the text. Take a look at the toolbar of your document. If it says "sections" for the +page icon it's a word processing document, if it says "pages" it's a page layout document.

  • Illustrator CS4 wont save files, please help?

    You can edit a file, go to save, close it down, then when you re-open it the changes made have not been saved?? No error message or warning pops up, and it all looks ok like it has saved properly, until you open it up again. This also happens when you use 'save as' command if you use the original file name. If however you type in a different file name - it saves ok. But obviously that is not great as you cant now trust or rely on the save mechanism of the programme, to make sure any changes to artwork have been stored!! I have never seen an issue like this, it is worrying, I hope somebody can help?
    Thanks.
    We are running CS4 on windows7 - yes PC!!!

    We save in EPS, and its not just one file, its a variety of different files and it seems to be random as to which files it does it on, some work fine - some don't. And it can be anything from a minor text change to a colour change, it doesnt seem to matter on the change made, it reacts the same.
    The files are saved over a network connection to a large external hard drive.
    Its really puzzling and now starting to cause problems as we do a fair bit of work in it, and can't trust one of the most important features, and that any changes that have been done have been saved and stored!
    Hope maybe you can help with any thoughts at all.
    Cheers.

    What file format do you save it in?
    What kinds of changes did you make in that file?
    Where do you save the file (removable or network media)?

    I instead opened the original on photoshop, and it created layers instead bitmap, saved it as a photoshop image, opened it on flash, worked on it, and well, guess what??? it did saved it as a gif!!!!!
    So wierd, but, why won't it save it from the fireworks one into a gif, and the photoshop one worked good?

  • Since I refreshed Firefox 36.0.4, "Save page as" and "save image as" are not working (even in Safe mode)

    I refreshed FF 36.0.4 on invite. Since then "save page as " and "save image as" are not working -- no response when clicked.
    In Safe Mode, same problem.
    I serached past forum discussions and found several occurrences, but no convincing response.

    I tried troubleshooting plugins, none appeared to be causing the problem.
    I installed 36.0.1, but no difference. Went back to 36.0.4, still no change.
    I ran a malware check with Malwarebytes, no change.
    A past thread here suggested deleting localstore.rdf, which I tried, no result.
    People have had this problem in the past. No one has any idea of how to fix it?

  • Image wont save as it looks in photoshop.

    I'm a pretty amateur user of photoshop, but I've been having this problem with an image I'm working on; it wont save as it looks in photoshop.
    Basically, this is what I'm looking at when the psd file is open in Photoshop:
    This is how I would like the image to look when I save it. However, when I save it as a JPEG (or any other format for that matter) it looks like this:
    The saved image is a JPEG file with a resolution of 500x500, the image I'm working with in photoshop has an image size of 7000x7000. Also, the image seems to produce different results when saved at different resolutions. It's very confusing.
    Here is my layers also:
    I am also using a Halftone filter set to subtract on this image, giving the image the lines across the image (shown here as layer 1).
    Anyone have any idea why this is happening and/or what I'm doing wrong?

    There's no reason an image should be downsampled upon saving (from 7000 to 500 pixels), unless you specifically tell it to using the Image Size dialog. The only exception I can think of is if you use Save For Web, which has a number of default settings you should keep an eye on. But a 7000 pixel image has no business on the web anyway (that's w a y too big).
    Resampling will obviously affect an image like this (with the line screen) in a number of ways. You should only work on this at the final intended pixel size.

  • Settings changed wont save after reboot

    Any changes that i do in my Mac, wont save after reboot.
    If i change the settings on my mouse (unchecking Scroll direction) next time i reboot, it will be checked again.
    Any changes that i do to my Finder sidebar (like adding My Main Drive not visible, add downloads and pictures, change the foler view as columns) they are all gone after i reboot. Its getting freakin anoying. I Google for a solution but to find none.
    When trying to opening Calender, it says that i dont have permission. I have gone to the application and checked and made sure that all acounts have r/w permissions.
    On the Dock, i uninstalled an app and next reboot i will get a question mark, even tho i removed it before it comes back after the reboot.
    Thanks for listening.

    May sound silly, but are you sure you're not logging in as the 'Guest' user? What privileges does the user account you're using have? Check in
     > System Preferences... Users & Groups
    that the account you're using is Admin. If you're using a Standard account, are parental controls enabled?
    If you are admin, try resetting your permissions and removing the sys pref property file. Before you do that, backup your system and user data. Once you're backed up, open Terminal and copy/paste the following into the Terminal window:
    rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.systempreferences.plist
    hit 'return'. If the prompt returns without an error (as it should), paste this
    sudo chown -R `id -un` ~
    hit 'return'. Enter your password as requested, but type carefully as it will be invisible while you do.
    This will take a while, but after the command finishes (i.e., when the prompt returns), restart the mac.
    After the restart, set the mac up the way you want, then test whether the problem is fixed by restarting again to see if your changes were kept.

  • Ipod wont save music

    Tried to add additional music to Ipod Touch but something went wrong and I had to restore it.  Once I restored the IPod wont save any music.  It goes through the syncing stage and when its finished the music file is empty.  Is there any way of fixing this?

    I would recomend trying to restore again, but don't do ANYTHING until it's done (both on you computer and on your iPod).
    When it's done restroing, try playing some songs from within iTunes. Do they play? If yes, try syncing again. And don't touch anything. If the songs in iTunes don't play, you know that the song files in iTunes itself are corrupted, and you might want to re-import or re download. Then try syncing again.
