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.

    Then you have two version of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.x is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '08/'09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • After 10.6.3 update: Bluetooth won't turn on

    After installing the incremental update, Bluetooth will not reactivate after sleep. The Bluetooth icon is in the menu bar, but Bluetooth is 'off' and wasn't before sleep. If I try to turn it on, it won't come on. Works fine if I do a full restart.

    Since the latest updates I have exactly the same.
    Bluetooth Mighty mouse works fine. Logout and put the iMac to sleep.
    Pressing the mouse doesn't do anything at all.
    To wake the mouse I have to press the keyboard at which point the screen displays an outline of the mouse with connection lost.
    20 - 30 seconds later connectivity is fine and I can log in again.
    Very frustrating.
    I booted from a 10.5.x on an external disk and the wake from sleep functionality works fine.

  • Updated Firefox won't save my preferences; reverts to original settings.

    A few days ago, Firefox updated itself to the 18.0.1 version. Now, each time Firefox updates itself, I tend to lose some of my preferences, those being: opening new tabs as a blank page, tabs being on the bottom, and showing my windows and tabs from last time. Usually, though, once I go and change these things back to the way I like them, they stay like that and I have no further problems.
    However, this time Firefox won't save my preferences. The tabs go back to being on top, the tabs I last closed aren't there, and these tool bars I don't want keep appearing. Instead, three tabs are always there upon opening Firefox: Welcome to Firefox, Mozilla Firefox Start Page, and Yahoo! Toolbar. Also, when opening a new tab, the page says, "page does not exist" or something, and the URL is not even comprehensible, just random letters like someone bashed their head into the keyboard, something like: "jkfui87$^&%$$09."
    I've tried resetting Firefox like it says in the "How to fix preferences that won't save" page, but it didn't help. As for deleting certain files from the profile folder, before I resetted Firefox, I only had "user" and "prefs" and "Invalidprefs" which weren't exactly what that self-helping page asked for so I didn't delete them. After I resetted Firefox I lost the "user" file, but I still have the other two. Should I try deleting them even if they're not exactly like the page describes? They are missing the ".js" part so I haven't felt comfortable messing with them.
    Please give me some advice. I'm tired of having to go change my settings in "about:config" each time I open Firefox. But I really don't want to try anything that would delete my bookmarks or history, as I'm very dependent of them.

    Obviously no one here actually READS these things, I tried all of that even did a clean install, even uninstalled all user data and THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE!
    Your help is completely useless, All you people do is copy and paste the same thing over and over. If it didn't work the first 20 times it's still not going to work no matter how many times you copy and paste the same fucking link.
    You have lost a die hard fan of Firefox, I am switching to another browser.
    Unfortunately I tried older versions of Firefox and had to go all the way back to Firefox 4 and now the problem is fixed.

  • After downloading newest android update video won't play from within photos.

    After updating to the latest Android software, the video playback will not work and the error message "Can't play video" appears when trying to access video from within the photos section, they are visible as thumbnails and first frames. .. They can still be played back from the videos section but it used to work on both. This has affected all videos that are on the phone. Does anyone have any ideas?  Thanks,

    my xperia z1 will play vids but when i updated there was about 40gb from video unlimited saved on the memory card, which immediately came up out of rental.... which is a pile of crap seeing as they were bought films. lets keep fingers crossed this is fixed quick.

  • After iTunes 10.6 update, program won't open

    I just downloaded the iTunes 10.6 update and now my iTunes will not open. The icon in my dock will jump a few times, as if the program were opening, but then nothing happens. Any fixes?

    I am having exactly the same problem. More specifically, after not loading, it comes up with the following message:
    "The iTunes application could not be opened. An unknown error occurred (13010)."
    Can anybody help?

  • Safari totally messed up after 10.4.7 update - page appears frozen!

    So messed up that I'm posting this with FireFox.
    What is happening is this:
    With this site and with MacFixIt.com, it appears that Safari has locked up. The blue progress in the address bar stays put, as if Safari is still loading the page, although the spinning daisy is not spinning. I try to click on other tabs or on the link bar and nothing (apparently) happens. I try to click and type in the address field and nothing happens. But, and this is a big but, when I grab the resize handle and resize the Safari window, then I can see that the page loaded correctly. Another thing that does work when this happens is the scroll bars. I click in the scroll bar and nothing happens. Only when I go to resize the page, I see that Safari actually scrolled down when I clicked.
    Now, this only appears to happen at MacFixIt.com's main page and the Apple support discussions page. I went to several different pages and this problem did not appear.
    What is going on here? I really hate when Apple posts an update and some essential program gets all messed up.
    Antonio

    Okay, never mind. It happened again.
    This time I restarted my computer and launched Safari and got the exact same behavior. So, I launched Snapz Pro X and made a movie of the weirdness to show you all. Please watch this:
    http://www.amrosario.com/safari_PoS.mov
    As you can see, the page only refreshes when I change the size of the window with the resize tab at the bottom of the window. You can also see that all of the text fields don't work.
    Now, what happened was that I ran Snapz to make the above movie and now Safari is responding as normal.
    This is NOT normal.
    What's up with this?

  • After 10.4.7 update iPod won't mount

    I updated to 10.4.7 and now my nano won't mount.

    fixed it by plugging it into a built in USB port. (the USB 2.0 Card i added is no good)

  • After 1.5.2 Update iSync won't launch

    Updated to 1.5.2 on my macbook pro, and afterwards iSync will not even launch... one bounce of the icon then nothing. Where do I begin to trouble shoot this? Tried fixing permissions but that did not fix the problem.
    Frank

    Thanks!! It worked for me.
    What I found is that just before installing 10.5.2 iSync worked fine, but before exploring the sync options in the new menu bar icon (for synching both .mac and isync, if I got it) iSync stopped to work, it doesn't launch anymore.
    Concretely, I have an expired trial account of .mac, and when I go to the synching options, it prompts a question about updating (buying) the account or do it later. Every time I click on "Not now" with iSync working, it stops to launch, and I have to reinstall 10.5.2 Combo update, to get it to launch again. It's a funny bug, don't you thing?
    So, the "final" fix was to make synch icon not visible on menu bar, log out of my expired .mac account, reinstall the Combo update, and then it works (again) but don't stop working (unless I touch .mac on the System Preferences, again). So don't touch it!
    Apple must release a fix for that if they want me to buy .mac someday. Since then, I won't ever touch .mac preferences, or logging .mac accounts.
    I hope this information may be helpful to someone.

  • Samsung Galaxy S 2.2 Update Pages Won't Delete

    My phone just updated to Froyo 2.2, and I can't get rid of the seven (! 7! 7!) pages it installed. They are an affront to my eyes, my battery life, boring, unnecessary, and taking away control of my phone. I may be overly upset about this.
    I've tried clicking on "edit page", and then all seven of them come up at once, but clicking the "remove" button at the bottom does nothing. I can change the homepage, but that's it. If I'm stuck with these pages, I may cry.
    Please help me figure out what I'm not doing right.

    Thanks for the suggestion! I'm trying Launcher Pro now. I really appreciate it.
    I remain frustrated that Android would make an "option" to remove the pages, and then have it all be a lie. I AM NOT FOOLED BY YOUR OVERTURES OF FREE WILL, ANDROID. NOT FOOLED. NO ONE HERE IS FOOLED.
    (Sorry, dude. I just have all these feelings.)
    Your welcome and hey everybody needs to vent now and then. 

  • After batter 1.2 update MBP won't restart

    Well now i'm in a pickle.
    I installed the Battery 1.2 update, all seemed to go well. I restarted the MBP and it appears to start, I get the apple logo and the clock type icon spinning around. After about 30 seconds of rebooting the screen goes blue and I get a black dialogue box telling me to restart the computer. At this point the fans seem to go on pretty high.
    I've tried restarting it without the battery and get the same result.
    I'm reasonably new to Macs. Any help is appreciated on how to get back up and running again. This is a work computer so now I'm SOL until I can get it fixed.
    Is there such a thing as starting in safe mode?
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Thanks!
    Well after about the 6th try with various options, batter out AC on, AC out battery on, etc... it finally rebooted just as I googled the Mac safe boot.
    So it seems to be up again now, not sure why it wouldn't restart before, but I did verify the battery new battery software was installed.
    Thanks for the response and sorry for spamming the board; that was a little bit of a panic!

  • After 8.1.1 update, iTunes won't make a window

    No errors on update.
    When iTunes starts it runs, but only has minimal menus (just "iTunes" and "Help") and doesn't have a window. "Quit iTunes" is greyed out, only way to stop it is to force quit. Tried a couple of machine restarts, no joy. How do i un-update? i prefer the previous version...

    Better now. Forced Quit and Started 3 or 4 times, then it came up ok, with license agreement.

  • After 10.8.3 update, mail won't delete

    I completed the 10.8.3 update this morning. Now when I click to delete mail messages, instead of deleting, mail jumps to highlight another message seven places away.
    Does anyone know why this is happening and how to correct it?
    Thanks.

    Strange! I quit Mail, then reopened it, and delete works as it should. Whatever was malfunctioning has cleared up by re-opening Mail. I'm glad.
