After choosing a blank template in PAGES, i am unable to type in the main body of the docs. I have to open a text box to type. Pls help

Hi all, need help here. I just face this problem today. When i click the pages icon and after choosing a blank template, i am unable to type anything in the document. All icons in the format bar at the top cannot be clicked (font, font size etc). I will have to open a text box in order to type it.
If i open an existing PAGES doc, duplicate and rename it, then i delete all existing text that i have written, only then i can type in at the doc.
To illustrate my problem, attached is a pic from my Macbook screen
Please help.

Maybe try turning on the grammar checker.

I opened a word doc in pages but when I went to edit the doc all I could do is activate boxes of text....no cursor or keyboard showed up. How do I edit an imported doc?

I imported and opened a word doc to pages. When I went to edit all I got was highlighted boxes of text....no cursor or keyboard. How do I edit an imported doc in Pages?

No, it's a document I created and it's not locked. I did it at work and sent it to Pages so I could work at home. It opens but I can't type or edit.

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks

Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

There are other things that need attention:
Your above posted system details show outdated plugin(s) with known security and stability risks that you should update.
*Shockwave Flash 10.0 r32
Update the [[Managing the Flash plugin|Flash]] plugin to the latest version.

thank you for your help

That is the highest you will be able to go with 3g. You need 3gs or 4 to go any higher (multi processors and more memory needed). Version 4.2.1 marks the end of your updates for that device.

I have a wifi connection but "safari cannot open the page because it is not connected to the internet" I have reset everything; I have used Itunes to update and reset. Still no good. It worked until 2 days ago

Reset everything.. did you do this?
Tap Settings / General / Reset / Reset Network Settings
If you're already been there, done that, could be a third party app preventing Safari from accessing the web.
Re sync your apps 5 at a time, then test the iPad.

Can't open a new blank template in Pages?

When I open Pages to choose a new blank template I get an error message that states "Pages has either moved or been deleted". Anyone have any advice to help would be greatly appreciated.

Wendy,
Have you looked for Pages.app to see if it's been moved or deleted? Here's an example of using Finder to locate the app.

Jerry

I cant get my home page back. it ways i have something open when i try to "RESET FIREFOX" HELP!!!

Please help me. I cant get the homepage back even when i try to "RESET FIREFOX" it just says its embarrassed and im old and i have no idea what to do?? I would appreciate any help. God Bless, jeri

Sorry, it's a little confusing. You get the "embarrassed" screen if Firefox crashed and isn't able to automatically restore your previous session.
If you unselect the old windows and tabs, Firefox should start up with your home page after that.
Or does it happen every time you quit Firefox and start it again?
What page do you want as your home page? You can check the setting in the Preferences dialog. These articles describe the steps:
* [[Startup, home page and download settings]]
* [[How to set the home page]]
If Firefox is ignoring your home page setting and showing a different page, it could be caused by one of your add-ons, maybe one that snuck in unexpectedly.
You can review your extensions and disable unknown or unwanted ones on the Add-ons page. Either:
* Command+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions.
When you first get Firefox, it searches your system for extensions, so you might see something associated with your security software. But generally speaking, extensions are optional and you do not need to enable any of them unless you find them useful.

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Help please!!

I just got a new MacBook Pro, and I tried to bring across my files from my last mac using time machine. After it was done copying I can't find my files anywhere but the space (about 130gb) has been used on my hard drive. Does anyone know how I can get to them? I did change my user name from 'user' while it was copying, could this have something to do with it?

You don't want to do that by copying.
Your best bet, by far, is to use Setup Assistant. If your Mac is running Snow Leopard, see Using Setup Assistant on Snow Leopard or Leopard.
If it came with Lion, it's a bit different: Using Setup Assistant on Lion

Please Help.

Hi Chris. Thanks, for the suggestions re: my email issues. They were helpful and yes I did check all items you referenced. I even contacted Apple support and spent about 40 minutes on phone checking all settings. However, after all these efforts, my mail and calendar issues were not resolved. Apple Support finally recommended deleting the mail account and then reloading it - and it worked! I am now receiving my emails and calendar appts. in real time again.
Just wanted to share this in case anyone elest has a similar problem with mail/calendar after downloaing i.O.S. 8.1 onto iPhone 5.
Thanks, again.

I'm getting a tiny little square box with a cross in the middle on some of my Pages documents. How do I get rid of it? It's where I've got a text box.

Why is this tiny little box, less than quarter inch in size, appearing in some of my Pages designs? It has a + in the middle of it.

The cross indicates an overflow of text. Increase the size of the box as needed. Since you didn't indicate that some of the text is missing it may just be an invisible character or that a little more space is needed below the text.

After connecting my Sony camcorder to imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video the import window does not open. I have imported videos from the sam camcorder successfully before. What could have happened? Puzzled)

After connecting my Sony camcorder to Imac (Snow Leopard) to import a video to imovie 09 the import window does not open. In the past I have successfully imported videos from the same camcorder. What could have happened? Puzzled

Oh my! Obviously, I don't know what I'm doing. But I do know that my goal was to do both---backup AND free some space. My iMAc is old (2006) and I upgraded it a year or so ago to Snow Leopard. I didn't think I had the capability of backing up without an external drive, but maybe I do since I upgraded. Do I?
But I bought this My Book mostly for freeing space because I like to make cards in Photoshop and I'm forever running out of space when I get too many layers (don't really know what I'm doing there, either).
Is there some way that I can rectify my mistakes and start all over?
Thank you so much for beng so prompt with your reply and patient with mine. I tried for so long to see the dialog box with the library listings. When I launched iPhoto, even with holding down the Option key, it kept immediately launching into the full screen. Finally, after an hour of doing it over and over again, it worked when I held the key down for 5 minutes. Then when I was typing my reply, I kept getting a message to "Request Time Out." Didn't know how to do that, so kept hitting the OK button and kept typing for another half minute. Finally, when ready to send, Safari couldn't do it. "Try again" exasperated me until I realized I would have to begin again and use Firefox. When I got there and ready to type, I got the message that my message had been retrienved and did I want to use it?!!
So your kindness is very much appreciated.

I updated the pages software yet I'm still on the previous update and cannot open my files. Help!

I updated the pages software version 5 yet I'm still on the previous update 4.3 and cannot open my files. Can anyone help?

Have you checked that you are opening the new version? To check this, open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and open the Pages app with the new icon, so you will get the new version.
Your problem is caused because Apple decided to keep the old iWork applications version after installing the new one. The only thing you have to do is to open it from the Applications folder, or drag the new version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly
