Can't attach Pages document to e-mail...yahoo or gmail.

When I try to attach my resume (Pages document) to an e-mail, the document is grayed out from the list of things I can attach. The document is definitely closed, and I've tried saving it to both the hard drive and the desktop, no go.
I can attach other things, pictures, text edit documents just fine. Pages won't let me save the doc with anything but a .pages extension. A friend suggested it was a yahoo thing, so I tried gmail. Is it a Pages thing?
Thanks so much!

Control- or right-click on the file in the Finder & choose "Compress" from the contextual menu that appears. The option is also available from the File menu in the Finder.

You need to start in the app that contains/owns the document, and then use that app to select the document and send/switch into the Mail app. You can't start in the Mail app as it doesn't have an attach facility

How can I attach a document saved in my iCloud to a web based outlook email on my IPad?

How can I attach a document saved in my iCloud to a web based outlook email on my IPad?

Thanks Nik and Roger. I think we've all come to the same realization: the new Pages will not attach documents to e-mail without going through Cloud. If you don't want to give your files to Apple to keep in its Cloud (which I assume the NSA has access to through a back door), then you can't use the new Pages.
If, like me, you downloaded the new Pages and used it to work on a document, before realizing you couldn't attach it to e-mail, then when you saved that document it was saved in the new Pages. If you later delete the new Pages (as I did) and go back to using an older version (which you can find in your iWorks file on your hard drive), then you discover that the older version of Pages won't open a document that you worked on and saved with the new Pages.
Nik and Roger have found the solution, if you keep the new Pages. If you delete the new Pages (as I did) then I had to accept the loss of any work I did on my documents using the new Pages, and began over using the latest version of my document that I had saved with the older Pages.
All in all, this has really soured my tase for Apple. If I hadn't recently bought a new MacBook Pro, I'd be switching to a PC now. I refuse to let Apple bully me into using their Cloud.

Attaching Pages Documents to gmail

I am new to the Mac community. I have pages and have created a couple of documents but I cannot figure out how to attach them to my email. Can anyone help me pout?

A Pages '08 or earlier document is actually a package, a special kind of folder that appears as a single file, but isn't. You can't e-mail a folder which is why many mail clients balk. Apple Mail will automatically zip a folder, other e-mail clients don't, especially web-based e-mail. In the Finder, Control- or right-click on the Pages document & choose Create Archive… (Tiger) or Compress… (Leopard) from the contextual menu. You will now have a zipped Pages document that you can attach to your e-mail & send.
Your recipient must have Pages to be able to open your Pages file. If s/he doesn't, you can export the Pages document as Word or PDF & send that.
Pages 4/iWork '09 now saves a flat file by default (it can also save as a package). There is a Share menu that has the option to e-mail the document as Pages, Word or PDF.

I just had my old operating system reinstalled, and i can't save pages documents, don't know how to install word

i just had my old operating system reinstalled after a breakdown, and now i can't save pages documents. i don't know how to install word.

What was your old system?
What is your new System?
What version of Pages?
How did you install it?
I don't know if you can see what's on my screen, but I definitely can't see what's on yours.
To Install Word, buy it and follow the instructions.

How can I attach a document to the answering email form?

How can I attach a document to the answering email form?

Hi;
I am not sure what you mean by the answering email form, can you describe a bit more what you are looking to do? Do you mean the "Email Receipt" that you can set up so the form filler receives an email after submitting their form?
Thanks,
Josh

HT1373 How can I find Pages documents I've created on my iPad on my Mac?

How can I find Pages documents that I've created on my iPad on my Mac? I have iCloud set up. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have turned on iCloud on the iPad and on the Mac, you can see your documents created on the iPad if you are using Pages '09 and OS X Mountain Lion. Open Pages and the iCloud window will appear with the documents.
If you don't have Mountain Lion and/or Pages '09, you can access to them on http://www.icloud.com, choosing iWork

HT2128 Does any one know how to attach a document from your mail, while you are already in your e-mail, meaning not having to look for your file first and then open the e-mail.

Good question - and one that a lot of (business) people would like solved!
Your question prompted me to do some research, and I found this workaround posted by Scott Grossberg:
His solution actually addresses a second problem too - how to attach a document when replying to an email message. In your case you may not need to consider the "reply" aspect - but if not right now, it'll come in useful someday!
I've pasted it verbatim - if it works for you (it does for me) then all credit goes to Scott for solving the problem. There's just one thing I'd add to his solution: you will probably want to rename the message, as by default Goodreader gives it the Subject line: Mail with GoodReader attachments.
THE GOODREADER OPTION
1. CREATE the document you want to send.
2. SAVE it to GoodReader (this will require you to buy and install the app).
3. Go to your email and OPEN the email thread to which you want to Reply and attach your file.
4. COMPOSE your Reply.
5. DOUBLE TAP the message.
6. TAP SELECT ALL. This will copy the entire email thread.
7. OPEN GOODREADER on the iPad and go to the file you want to send as part of your Reply.
8. At the bottom of the GoodReader screen you will see an EXPORT icon (it looks like a rectangle with an arrow pointing to the right).
9. TAP the Export button.
10. TAP EMAIL FILE. Depending on your needs, tap either SEND FILE “AS IS” or “FLATTEN ANNOTATIONS.” This will open a compose message screen with the chosen document already attached.
11. TAP in the body of the email screen. TAP PASTE. This will place your composed Reply and the prior email thread into the message.
12. ENTER the Recipients’ names in the TO: field of your message.
13. SEND your email Reply.
The modified version (= when composing a new message rather than a reply):
1 Make sure that the doc you want to attach is saved in GoodReader
2 In the message you are composing, double tap, select all, and then copy.
3 Open GoodReader and select the file you want to attach
4 Select the export button at the bottom of screen
5 Select e-mail file
6 Position cursor in body of the email message, tap and paste. You may want to delete the "sent from GoodReader" text that precedes the attachment.
7 Rename your message (as by default it will be Mail with GoodReader attachments)
8 Add the recipient's address in the To field.
Hope this helps! All thanks to Scott for this workaround.

I can't attach individual files in e mail, only folders

I can only attached folders in apple e mail and not individual files. Can anybody help?

What happens when you try to attach files?

I can't attach files to my e-mails instead of embedding them in the body of the e-mail. Any ideas?

Mail sends certain kinds of graphical attachments as inline content. The decision to do that was made for you by Apple. There's no built-in way to override it, as far as I know.
The recipient's mail client may or may not take Mail's suggestion to display the content inline.
You have these options:
Zip the files before attaching them to the message.
Use something like Attachment Tamer. (That's not an endorsement — it may cause problems.)
Use another mail client that allows for more control over the format of outgoing messages.

I can open some pages documents, but others I cannot.

I can open some pages documents and others I cannot. This just started. I have a mac os x 10.9.4. It says I don't have any updates available. I have no idea why this is happening. Please advise. Thanks!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this mess that Apple has created, review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

I can't get pages documents to open on Microsoft word?

I can't get pages documents to open on Microsoft word when I have drafted a pages doc on my mac and then send it to a PC to open and print through microsoft work - is there a way around this?

You can't open it directly. You need to either export it from within Pages, or rename the saved file so its extension is zip, decompress it, and get what you can from the contents.

Can an unsaved pages document be retrieved after a screen freeze?

Can an unsaved pages document be retrieved after a screen freeze?

When your working on a unsaved file, it's contents are in RAM or temporary memory, if the power goes off then the contents of this RAM is lost.
When you save the file, it's written to pernament storage (hard drive) and can be retrieved, only losing the difference between the last saved state.
Some programs have a temp save ability that will notify you that it has a file "recovered" and if you wish to resume using that copy. It saved the file for you to the hard drive without your permission or knowledge which can or cannot be a lifesaver.
There are third party utilties that can invoke "Save" periodically on most all programs that don't have this recovery feature, if it's a new file, obviously a Save As will occur and you have to give it a name, but it's good for people who don't remember to save their files periodically.

I use Yahoo mail. Why do I sometimes get a message saying "Safari can't identify the website ca.mg5.mail.yahoo.ca ? When I click continue there is no problem.

How do I stop getting messages saying "Safari can't identify the website ca.mg5.mail.yahoo.com. The cerrtificate for this website is invalid " In fact there does not appear to be a problem because when I click "continue" everything proceeds as usual. But I would like to stop getting this message.

Back up all data.
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.
In Safari, select
Safari ▹ Preferences... ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove All Website Data
and confirm. If you’re using another browser, empty the cache. Test. Any difference?
Notes:
1. If you lose Internet access after making the above change to your network settings, delete the Google servers in the Network preference pane, then select the TCP/IP tab and click Renew DHCP Lease. That should restore the original DNS settings; otherwise restore them yourself. Remember that you must clickApply in order for any changes to take effect.
2. I don't use Google DNS myself, though I have tested it, and I'm not recommending it or any other DNS provider; the server addresses are offered merely for testing purposes. There may be privacy and technical issues involved in using that service, which you should investigate personally before you decide whether to keep the settings. Other public DNS services exist.

Can I attach a document to an e-mail campaign sent from BC?

I am preparing an e-mail campaign for a client and wish to attach a document.
Previously I have uploaded the document into the media downloads module and inserted a link in the e-mail campaign to download the file.
I have a feeling that more people will view the document if it is sent as an attachment rather than as a download link (particularly on mobile devices)
How so I include attachments in my e-mail campaigns from within Business Catalyst (if it is possible)?
I realise I will loose tracking options by doing this.

Attached files from an auotmated service - Instant block in most cases. Thats if you could, you cant in BC.
Your doing it the best way with the link and it also means you can track it.
