Ca't Find Pages Template Folder

I have some templates that I am trying to migrate to my new mac but I can't find the template folder.
I am looking in: myaccount>Library>Application Support, but I can't seem to find the iWork folder.
I also looked in the system Library folder, there is an iWork folder, but no tamplate folder in there
I don't have any templates installed on the computer I am trying to migrate to.

Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The user's Library is hidden in Lion & Mountain Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list.
The easiest way to create the template folder path to save a file as a template from within Pages. Your other option would be to copy iWork folder from Application Support in your user library on one Mac to the same location on the new Mac.

    on my finder page…new folder is grayed out…this has never happened before.

    Are you sure you are choosing "new folder" rather than "new folder window" - new folder results in an empty "untitled" folder on my desktop whereas new folder window shows all my files.

  • Why can't i find my templates folder in the finder?

    this is certainly a finder problem and not a pages problem. the path is home folder/library/application support/iwork/pages/templates/my templates, but when i go to my home folder/library/application support/ i only find iwork 06, iwork 08, iwork 09 and there is nothing about pages or templates in it, and yet, when i click "Save as template..." in the File menu of pages, i can see the path.
    i know there is an adjustment to make in the finder to use the right home folder, but i can't remember what it is.

    There is a reason Apple removed over 2/3rds of the templates and dumbed down the rest, and that is because Pages 5 is not an upgrade it is a downgrade, that can't open the Pages '09 templates without damaging them.
    Apple has now removed over 90 features from Pages 5.

    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5 and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Finding Page Template from Content Repository Views

    Hi -
    I'm trying to find a way to use the portal repository views to location the template a page is using. I can't seem to find it in any of the normal views. Anyone know of a good way find what template a page is associated with?
    Thanks -

  • Cant find motion template folder?

    I'm a final cut user and to download this effect i am using (i have done it before, but got a new computer with lion) and the instructions say
    /HomeFolder/Movies/Motion Templates/Effects/SC_Effects_X/
    I go to home, then movies then the only options are fcp events and projects and imovie events in projects. like i said before I have downloaded this before and I really need it back. Help?

    You can create your own Motion Templates folder in the Movies folder and then create an Effects folder within it. Then add your downloaded effect in the Effects folder and FCP should see it. I don't know if you have Motion or not, but I believe when you install Motion it creates these folders.

  • How to find "My Templates" folder in the hard drive?  Or "Mainstage Concerts" folder, "Mainstage Layouts" folder

    So far I have saved quite a few concerts as templates, but now I want to delete some of the older ones, so they stop showing up teach time I want to start a new concert from a template. I have been looking for the folder in library, application support, logic, also in the mainstage app icon's package contents, but I can't find how to delete those saved templates, and exported layouts. Please advise me on this.

    Hi
    If you are running Lion OS, the <User> (Home) folder where MS 2.1.3 stores these files is hidden by default.
    The easiest way to get there is using the Finder;Go menu: Hold down Option (Alt) and the Library will show up in the Go Menu.
    Once you have the User Library window open, drag it to the Sidebar.
    (There are also ways of 'un-hiding' the <User> Library via Terminal etc)
    The Mainstage files are in
    <User> Library:Application Support:Logic.

  • Template folder not at correct location

    I am unable to save templates to My templates folder by default as it is supposed to.
    I searched in vain for the Pages (from iWork08) at Users >Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.
 The only folder located there is for Keynote. This was the path as outline by Pages Help.
    So I reinstalled from the CD and updated with Software Update without a hitch. But the Pages template folder is still not there.
    The folder is located in package contents within the application itself. But I still can't save templates within a My Templates Folder unless I manually create one within the package contents sub folder.
    The exact location: Pages>package contents>contents>resources>templates
    Any suggestions on how to get it to work as designed?

    Users > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates.
    You're missing a step in that path, but I doubt that is the problem. Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in HD > Users > *(your account)* > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. But that path is not created until you save a template from within Pages. Have you checked permissions on the iWork folder in that path? Perhaps you don't have permissions to save there. Also, have you tried saving a template as a different user?

    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.

  • I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the bad template with a blank.

    I no longer have access to system folders that allow me to remove old or incorrect PAGES templates. Need to find out how to do that. The only way I can do it now is to blank the template and replace the unwanted template with a blank. It was previously possible to go to MY TEMPLATES and remove the unwanted templates. I don't if this issue is before or since installation of 10.8 (a nightmare in my case, which led to significant failure issues).  And because I haven't tried to remove templates since finally managing to install 10.8 (now at 10.8.4), I don't know if this is typical of the newer OS or a problem. I've been a Mac user for more than 25 years, but I think I'm nearing the end of the road. By the way, I've never needed to do this before because the manuals always offered an answer... they don't seem to do that anymore. In any case, I don't know how this works... I'd prefer an email reply if that's possible. But that would probably be too easy, and I don't know how to get a reply.

    Thanks, I appreciate the help.  I think this is one of the problems Apple is creating by changing the OS so often. I had fomer colleagues at [a major aerospace contractor] who told me that so many original files were ultimately lost because of the deadly change in the "Save As" operation that they are now afraid of every OS update. Apple has badly damaged their support base with that very prominent company (they won't update now until they've fully examined and understand changes in the pre-conditioned nature of OS computer functions), and they are a whole lot less enthaled with Mac-related equipment/software. Can't blame them, I too used orginal files that way (as easy-to-use templates), and lost some important files before I realized what was happening (to late to revert). Companies should not have to retrain employees each time an OS gets an update, it's can be very expensive several different ways. They learned a painful lesson with that one. And because I'm now retired and don't use multiple devices, I need iCloud like I need a hole in the head... but I'm told there's no way to keep Apple out of my computer. Fortunately, because of major problems when initially installing Mountain Lion, one hold-over of the hardware/software damage I experienced was that iCloud can no longer access my computer even though everything else is working fine again. That was the only "good luck" I had as a result of that expensive nightmare.

  • Where can I find more information about the jpeg files in pages templates?

    I'm using a pages template (the menu in the 08 version). I like the three graphic images that are on the menu, how can I find out more info about them and their source?
    I can find the file extension in the inspector, but even when I google that title I come up with nothing.
    Any suggestions?

    The images are buried deep in the apps packages.

  • A method to create completely customized photo book page templates from scratch in Lightroom 5

    I was able to successfully create completely customized Lightroom 5 page templates (including altering the number of, positions, and sizes of pictures) by making edits to the templatePages.lua file(s) in the Lightroom directory tree.  I have never heard of the LUA file format before, but it is ASCII and looks somewhat like XML, so it was fairly easy to decipher.  Here is a high-level description of how I did it.  This applies to Lightroom 5 on Windows 7.  If this doesn't make any sense to you, then don't try it - you're likely in over your head.  Although my description is brief and lacking in detail, it should enable someone who is capable of handling this to figure it out with a little of careful trial and error.  Do this at your own risk - if you screw-up your installation, catalog, or computer, it's your own fault.  It all worked great for me.
    First, open the "<lightroom 5 install directory>\Templates\Layout Templates" folder.  Then navigate to the template set that contains the template you would like to use as a starting point for the new template.  For example, "12x12-blurb\clean12x12".  Make a back-up copy of the templatePages.lua file in case you mess something up and want to revert.
    There will be a bunch of .jpg files in this directory that each contain a preview image of the layout that carries the same name as the .jpg file.  Find the one that you would like to use as a starting point.  Take note of the name of the file, which is probably something similar to "page_26_preview.jpg".   Duplicate the file and rename it to something unique, such as "dummy_preview.jpg".  It's just temporary, so it doesn't matter what name you pick, provided it is a legal file name with no spaces.
    Next, open the templatePages.lua file in a text editor.  I suggest using one that can automatically recognize and format ULA (such as Notepad++, which is open source and free to use).  Then search the file for the unique portion of the file name you took note of earlier, such as "page_26".  It will point you to a section in the LUA file that describes that particular template.  Carefully copy that entire section, including a balanced number of brackets (starting with the two brackets and commas before "children" and ending with the one bracket and comma after the "title" line.  Paste the copied text into the end of the file on a new line immediately following the bracket and comma after the "title" field for the last page template section (right near the end of the file).  Change the "previewName" field to the name of the preview file copy that you created ("dummy_preview.jpg" for me) and the "name" field to the name of the new template you're creating ("dummy" for me, since it is just temporary).  Next change at least one of the hex characters in the "pageID" field such that the new template will have a unique page identifier.
    Now you can make edits to the photo and text fields included in the new section, using other templates in the template file as examples.  "x" and "y" fields are coordinates (in pixels) for the bottom-left corner of the picture or text field, "height" and "width" are the width of the field in pixels.  The fields should be mostly self-explanatory, but make sure that the "photoindex" fields are filled-in starting from 1 to N, where N is the number of pictures in the template, with no duplicates or gaps.  They do not need to be in order.  Treat the "textIndex" fields similarly for text fields.  If you want to add an additional picture or text field, simply copy the section describing a picture or text field from another template and paste it, carefully, into the new template that you are creating.
    Once you are done, save the file (you may get interference from Windows UAC, in which case save the file elsewhere and the move it back to the correct directory).  Then open Lightroom.  Create a new photobook, and choose the new template for one of the pages, remembering that the preview image will look like the JPG that you copied.  Voila!  If you didn't screw anything up, you should see a page based on your new template.  Then right-click the page and select "Save as custom page", which will cause a fresh preview file to be created for your new template and your template to be copied to the "custom pages" section of the template menu.  The new section you added to the "templatePages.lua" and the "dummy" preview file can now be deleted, since they are no longer needed.  I save them so that I may simply overwrite them the next time I need to create a customized template.
    Enjoy, and please share any clarifications, corrections, or enhancements to my process.

    This post was great!  Thank you so much.  But I am hoping you know one more thing related to this.  In the "transform" section of the definition (where the x/y coordinates are set along with height and width) there is an option called "angle".  I was hoping that changing this value would allow me to offset the angle of the picture.  However, if I put any value there other than 0 the template becomes unusable.
    Do you happen to know what this option does?
    I haven't looked into the files, so this is just a guess based on how some graphic applications work. It's common to think of rotating a shape as pivoting around a center point, but It's possible that the file sets a value for the rotation point not at the center. In some graphics applications, you can set a shape's pivot at any corner or in the middle of any side, of the rectangle that contains the whole shape.
    So, your value may be rotating the shape around a pivot that moves the shape into some area that upsets the behavior of other shapes. Just a thought.

    Peter's point is a good one.  I would also assume that the "angle" property allows you to rotate an image, but I haven't tried it myself.  One thing to investigate - are there any page templates included in LR that have image placeholders that are at an angle (I don't recall any, off-hand)?  If so, looking at the associated .lua file could provide insight into how an angled image placeholder should be described.

  • How do you manage Pages templates in Lion?

    Apple have removed access to the User/Library folder under Lion. How can Pages templates be managed, deleted, renamed etc? Apple should either bring back access to the library folder or update Page, so that a user can manage templates within the Pages Application.

    Finder>Go hold the option key >>Library
    make the change in Terminal:
    chflags nohidden ~/Library
