Pages and PDFs did not update on 4.2

After downloading 4.2 to my iPad, I found that I did not have the AirPrint icon in Pages documents or in my PDFs (iBooks). I called the Help Line and they want me to wipe my device and restore everything. This is like hitting a fly with a hammer instead of a fly swatter. I would appreciate knowing if others are having this problem and if there is an easier and less time-consuming solution. It would save me 2 hours at the Genius Bar. Thank you.

Barabara: I am sorry to be unclear. No, I do not have the icon.
Here's WHY I would like the print option: I use Word Perfect for my work, so being able to print PDFs is a big perk. I can scan/convert easily and get documents on the iPad. Pages' print app is less attractive because I have to convert to Word, which is an awful program. I cannot convert these docs back to Word Perfect.
BTW, I found the best explanation for the workaround for unsupported printers on YouTube. We'll try it tonight, and I'll let you know if it works--if appropriate.

  • HT4972 Why Pages and numbers are not updating.

    My pages and numbers are not updating for about a week now Why?

    Some one else had a similar problem last night...same as yours. He claimed that Pages had been stuck trying to update for about week. I posted this and he said that it worked - which part he did not say - but give these things a try.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to resume the download.
    If you have all of your Pages files backed up in iTunes or on your Mac, this might be the answer. Try deleting the waiting icon - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    I have deleted Pages a couple of times when I had issues with it and then reinstalled it. I even deleted a stalled Pages once and then tried the update successfully again after that. My files are always backed up in iTunes and on my Mac so I had no apprehension about deleting the waiting download.

  • I downloaded a song on my iPhone and iTunes did not update to my PC.  In iTunes, went to Store - Available Downloads and I got a message saying there was no music to update... Any suggestions??  Thanks!

    I downloaded a song on my iPhone and iTunes did not update it to my PC.  I went to Store -> Check for avialable downloads, and I got a message saying there was no music from my iPhone to sync to my computer... Any suggestions??  Thanks!

    I also live in the United States so redownloading shouldn't be a problem.

  • My phone blacked out, will not turn on, and i did not update to the new software! So what is my Apple iPhones5s problem?

    My iPhone blacked out, and will not turn on. I did not update to the new software! So what is my Apple iPhone 5s problem?
    A lot of issues with iPhones lately, maybe apple has an issue developing and implementing their inovations.

    Hi InUtero, 
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    I can understand your frustration if your iPhone is not turning on as expected. The first thing I would suggest in this situation is a reset. Please use the following article for instructions on how to reset your iPhone. Please be sure to let me know if you need further assistance. 
    Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
    Have a great day, 
    Joe

  • Pages and Child Templates Not Updating

    I'm having a problem in Dreamweaver CS5 where pages and child templates are not receiving updates made to the parent template. When I update the template, sometimes some files using that template will update, and some will not. Repeatedly updating the template sometimes forces the changes, but other times it does not.
    For instance I was working on a 50 page site earlier, made up of 1 master template with 5 child templates. I made changes to the master template, and it went through the update process, saying all the child templates and files have been updated. However when I open some, not all, files, they are not updated.
    I manually went through the entire site and hit 'update page from template', and that seemed to work. I opened a different site with only 1 template, did an update, and it only updated some of the files. I updated the template again, saved, and it then proceeded to update a few more randomly selected files.
    This was happening sometimes in CS4, but in CS5 it has become a bigger problem. Please let me know how this can be resolved.
    Edit: This is on a freshly reinstalled CS5 with all updates.

    Sure. It's Dreamweaver MX Templates by Brad Halstead and myself - ISBN 0-7357-1319-7.  I spend quite a bit of time explaining nested templates.  Sadly, nowhere do I say you should avoid them.  But you should.
    There is a master template that controls top level navigation and then five child templates that give different left-side navigation based on which section of the site the user is in. You can see this in action at www.homerenergy.com.
    You should see how easy this is to do with server-side includes and a single template file.  It's the best of both worlds.

    Yep.  http://validator.w3.org/unicorn/check?ucn_uri=http://www.homerenergy.com/&ucn_task=conform ance - even if you would leave the nested templates in place, you would sure want to fix those.
    The section-specific navigation is very easy to manage either with template conditionals or with server-side includes.  You can see this site - http://www.ent-sys.com - where I have done the section navigation on interior pages with template conditionals.
    However, your site is small, and simple.  Nested templates can work OK in such circumstances.  But I have never seen a use of nested templates that couldn't be done more simply with some other approach.

  • Links between some pages and pdf's not working: muse

    I have two sites with the same muse business catalyst name for preview. How do I create different names? Is it necessary to preview site?
    I am have a lot of pages that no longer link on both sites and I cannot get pdf's to link. Please help?
    erin pashelinsky

    Hi Erin
    I believe you have published same Muse file with 2 sites on Business Catalyst , you can update the same sites with the modifications you made in Muse.
    In publish window , click on options and select the same site from drop down , publish the site and old pages will be replaced with new content that you have added in Muse.
    Thanks,

  • I need to download the latest version of Java, but it will not download because I have version 10.6.8. and Java needs at least version 10.7 to downloadd. I did a software update and it did not update my version like expected. What do I do?

    Thank youuuu!

    To upgrade to Lion (10.7) you need to purchase it from the App Store ($20).
    Before any major software update be sure to have a complete backup.
    Note that when upgrading from Snow Leopard to Lion you will lose the capability to run PPC applications through Rosetta.  For example AppleWorks will go away.

  • Lion install did not update background/screen saver images

    I installed of Lion on my Macbook and it did not update the background/screen saver images with the new ones, anyone know why?

    Check your Macintosh HD/Applications/ folder for a program called "Install OS X Mountain Lion" and then open this to run the installer.

  • Lion did not update safari

    I updated Lion yday and it did not update safari. Safari is in 5.0.5 version. I try to find safari 5.1 in apple downloads and I found only safari  5.1 for snow leopard. Somebody has the same issue and if does, how did you solve it? thanks in advance

    Was Safari in your Applications folder? If not, that is the reason it did not get updated.
    The only way I can thing of is to reinstall. If you didn't save a copy of th installer, you can go to the Mac App Store and hold down the Option (alt) key while clicking on the Purchased tab. You'll then be able to select Install again.
    Once downloaded, you might be able to Right-click on it and Show Package Contents. Then, you might be able to find it inside the package and just install that. However, I didn't save a copy, so I couldn't walk you through it.

    Do you mean you changed the email associated with your ID or you've created a new ID.

  • HT1212 I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. I tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone  and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled

    I just updated my Ipad 2 to IOS 7, now it is asking me for a passcode. I never set a passcode on my Ipad, so how can I enter a passcode. Earlier today I upgraded my Iphone 5 to IOS 7 and it asked me to set a passcode, which now works fine on my Phone. I  tried using the OIS7 passcode I use on my Iphone 5 and it did not work and now my Ipad is disabled. Both devices are on icloud and share the same apple id. The Ipad screen says slide to set up but then there is a prompt for passcode, not for setting up passcode

    I called Apple Support and a supervisor helped resolve this for me on my iPad. I suggest calling them for help as this is obviously an issue with the iOS 7 update - she helped me without charge. I could be missing something in my upcoming description, so do not take this as complete - call them.
    I had to update iTunes on my Mac Air to the latest version, and I had an iCloud backup from the day I updated to iOS7. Have iTunes open but do NOT connect your iPad yet. Shut down the iPad. Then press/hold the Home key on the iPad while you connect the USB from the iPad to the computer (an image of the USB cable appeared on the iPad). Follow the prompts in iTunes to restore and then backup using iCloud. When the iPad rebooted again to do the backup install, I got the same pass code issue and iTunes would not recognize the iPad without entering a pass code. I disconnected the iPad, turned it off, pressed the Home key while connecting the USB cable. When I did the restore and backup from iCloud the second time, it worked without the pass code issue occurring.
