Any way to make pages auto save documents while I am working on them?
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.

Are there any ways to make sure FCPX saves the project before quitting?
The other day when I was working on a project, Final Cut Pro did not save any changes I made for the last 3 hours. I lost all of my work. I understand that FCP is supposed to autosave projects, but it didn't. Are there any ways to make sure that it saves before quitting? I am currently running the trial version 10.0.8, and I plan to upgrade to the full version, soon, provided there aren't too many bugs.
It turns out it was a corrupted project. All other projects autosave before quitting, but that one always displays the same last modified time. I solved it by creating a brand new project.

Any way to make Pages always open in a user selected screen position?
It is a continuing irritation to have to close the Styles Drawer, drag the window all the way to the left of my screen, and reopen the Styles Drawer on the right. This is the way I need to work and I'm not going to change that. What I'm hoping is that there is some way to reset the default opening position, maybe in terminal? Or an AppleScript? Neither of which I am familiar enough with to create my own. Any suggestions?
TIAHere is a commented and enhanced version.
--(SCRIPT openToLeft.app]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script, Application ou Progiciel : openToLeft.xxx
déplacer l'application créée dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Pages et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
menu Scripts > Pages > openToLeft
Le script créera un nouveau document à partir du modèle choisi et le poussera à gauche dde l'écran.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script as a Script, an Application or an Application Bundle: openToLeft.xxx
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Pages:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Pages and even the folder Applications by yourself.
menu Scripts > Pages > openToLeft
The script will create a new document from the selected template and will push it to the screen's left edge.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

Don't ask me why, Pages uses two Universal Type Identifiers for its templates

Is there any way to make the page size of a PDF document smaller? I'm at 30"x36" and want 8.5"x11"
The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.

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.

Is there any way to make Mail open next message?
Is there any way to make Mail open the next message on the inbox automatically after deleting, forwarding o saving a message?
I mean, is there any way to, after reading a message, going to the next or previous message without double clicking the main inbox window?
I used (on windows) to read mail on outlook, or even on entourage for mac, and after I read a message, even if I deleted it, forward it, replied it, or even saving it on a folder, automatically the program (outlook, entourage, hotmail, etc) opened the next message on the inbox, but I am not able to find any way to make Mail do that.
Is there a way to it? Or should I provide suggestions to Apple?
By the way, no meant to prefer microsoft for this, I just think this is a cool feature for reading several messages one after another without going back to the main inbox page and double clicking the message to read...
Thanks for any helpDown-arrow, Return. Return opens the selected message. I read through hundreds of messages without ever touching the mouse. Once you get used to the keystrokes, Mail is extremely efficient.

Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?
Is there a way to make InCopy open all documents in normal screen mode, always?
Now it opens in the screen mode the InDesign page is in when checked in. We don't want that.
Thanks,
FrederikNo, there's no way to get rid of it in InCopy. InCopy opens layouts in the mode the InDesign user saved them, including Normal vs. Preview, Frame edges showing or not, Hidden characters showing or not, and so on.
You could try asking the designers to switch to Normal view before saving the INDD file. Or you could assign a keyboard shortcut to the Normal view in InCopy and tell everyone to use that. We're on Macs so we use Control-N for Normal and Control-Shift-N for Preview.

I have a iMac desktop and a macbook pro laptop I work mainly on the desktop but when i go away for work I take my laptop. Is there any way to make it automatically back up to mirror my desktop? Like when I update a file it updates on there too, if I install software it installs on there too etc?
When I first got the laptop I syned it to load with all the same software etc but it hasn't continued to sync
ThanksI use
Chronosync (http://www.econtechnologies.com/pages/cs/chrono_overview.html)
and
Dropbox (https://www.dropbox.com/)
Both work very well. The former I use for manual, one-way synchroniziation of (nearly) entire systems. The latter for automatic syncing of very active directories through local and shared online storage. -
Numbers 3.1 "Couldn't auto-save document"
I have a very basic smallish spreadsheet with no forumlas, formating, etc and it won't save after the initial save. When I attempt to save I get this: "Couldn't auto-save document". I checked the file in Finder and it wasn't modified.
I won't save to CSV or Excel formats either. I've tried copying and pasting the table into Excel 2007 and no luck.
OSX 10.9.1, Macbook Pro Retina 2012
Any ideas? I haven't found advice on the Web. Fortunately I have Excel with VMware and Win7 and Open Office and Libre Office on the Mac side.
JimI saved my work by copying the table to an Open Office spreadsheet.
When quitting Numbers I received this message:
[filename} is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage. The filename was my file's of course. I tried to save this file on my MBP SSD and on a network hard drive that is working fine for everything else. -

Any Way to Make an Action Require Authentication?
Hi,
Is there any way to make an Automator action require user authentication before running? Before some of my actions execute, I want the OSX authentication screen to pop up, the way it does during software installation, when the Mac wakes from sleep, when a user tries to change something in the System Preferences, and so on. I'd also like to make sure that before these particular Automator actions run, they accept authentication from a particular user only. That way, other users won't be able to copy the actions in question to their own accounts and run them after authenticating with their own passwords.
Thanks in advance for any help,
SkellIf you get a dump of a script application such as:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFEE80;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
property PropertyString : "this is some testing text"
set GlobalString to "this is a global text string"
SomeHandler(GlobalString)
log result
on SomeHandler(SomeText)
set HandlerString to "this is a local text string"
if SomeText is not "PASSWORD" then
return "FAIL"
else
return "OK"
end if
end SomeHandler
</pre>
... at the beginning of the resource fork you can clearly see the text strings defined and their variable names. I don't particularly want to know enough about AppleScript tokens to tell what the specific code statements are, but in this example I can see enough to make some guesses about a password dialog.
Since these kinds of things are still readable in a run-only script, if one isn't going to use something like a keychain and has to put in some kind of password test, care must be taken to obfuscate the related items so that a casual glance doesn't give things away. Dynamically building any check strings and dialog texts, not using obvious variable names, and scattering code across multiple handlers will make it harder to guess what the password is.
