Can't delete pages in a book

I can add pages---but the minus sign is greyed out; and hitting "delete" does not work either. I'm mystified (and irritated, I'm just have a couple of pages to delete to complete the project).

Hi lachanel5,
Not sure if you found this in iPhoto Help yet, but it says (red highlights mine):
To delete a page from a photo book:
Books require an even number of pages. If deleting a page creates an odd number of pages, iPhoto automatically adds a blank page to or deletes a blank page from your book to keep the page count at an even number.
Open the book project.
The book pages appear in All Pages view.
Press the Control key while you click the page that you want to delete, and then choose Remove Page from the shortcut menu.
Note: You can also delete a page while viewing a page spread.
A message appears asking if you want to delete the page.
Click Yes.
The Note about deleting a page means pressing the Delete key on the keyboard.
Note there is a 20 Page minimum to the Books so if you have less than that, it won't let you delete pages, the Remove Page option will be dimmed. You need to change them to something else instead.
Hope that helps,
ivan

Pages 4.3 (332MB) and Pages 5.0 (455MB) are both installed on my macbook, can I delete Pages 4.3 from my application folder?

Pages 4.3 (332MB) and Pages 5.0 (455MB) are both installed on my macbook, can I delete Pages 4.3 from my application folder?
I recently (after upgrading to Mavericks) installed Pages 5.0 (iWorks ’09 with Pages 4.3 was already installed on my Macbook). When I try to open a pages document, I sometimes get the message 'you need a newer version of Pages to open this document.' When I ctrl-click the pages document and select the program Pages 5.0, the document opens in Pages '05. Other Pages documents open in Pages 4.3. How do I select Pages 5.0 as default program to open my documents? And how do I do that, since pages preferences do not give that possibility? And can I delete pages 4.3 after making pages '05 the default. Or is there another way to solve this?
kind regards, Sadrach

Using Get Info to change all documents to open with Pages 4.3 doesn't work. It will work on individual files, but that could be a lot of files to reset.
This is what works for me. After I installed the new iWork updates I created a folder on an external drive & named it "other applications." I then moved the new iWork apps to this folder & renamed the applications Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. I have icons for two versions of Pages & Numbers (I rarely use Keynote) in my Dock. Even with two versions of Pages & Numbers running, double-clicking an existing file opens in Pages 4.3 or Numbers 2.3. This should also keep the Mac App Store from nagging you to update. Others have renamed the '09 iWork apps & set them as default.

How can I delete pages from a pdf file

How can I delete pages from a pdf file

Hi timk,
None of the Acrobat.com online services allow you to edit a PDF file. But, in checking your account, I see that you purchased an Acrobat Standard subscription, and you can certainly use that to edit a PDF file.
Have you downloaded and installed Acrobat Standard? It sounds to me as though you may be opening the PDF file in Adobe Reader, rather than Acrobat. (Reader doesn't allow you to edit PDF files.)
If you haven't already, download and install Acrobat from https://cloud.acrobat.com/acrobat. Then, make sure that you're opening your PDF files in that rather than Reader, when you want to edit them.
Please let us know how it goes!
Best,
Sara

In Reader, you cannot. In Acrobat control-shift-D (Windows) or command-shift-D (Mac). If you tell us what version of Acrobat and your OS we can give you a gui way to do that, but it changed between versions 9 and versions 10.

I have Adobe PDF Pack- Can I delete pages out of a PDF with this? It seems like suck a simple task, but I can't figure out how to do it!
Also, once I Combine PDF's, can I separate them in the future?
Thanks!

Hi LrettigMD,
Editing a PDF requires Acrobat (not Reader). You are welcome to download a free 30-day trial of Acrobat from www.adobe.com/products/acrobat.html if you'd like to give it a try.

You cannot delete pages in Reader on any platform. Reader is a reading app not an editing app.
You can delete pages in Acrobat on Mac or Windows.

Can i delete outlook on mac book without deleting it on another computer

Can I delete Outlook on mac book pro without deleting it on another computer on which I also have Outlook loaded?

Not a dumb question at all...and it is always easier to ask first instead of fixing things later.
As long as you only remove the account from your local Mail application you are fine.

Can I copy pages from a book I am reading on the iPad to the ipad

I am reading a library book in overdrive is it possible to copy pages from the book to be read on the iPad after the book is returned?
Thanks for your response
Cin

I don't have a library book checked out at the moment, so I can't play, but have you tried to select a section of text, and then copy it? If that works you can then go to Notes or Pages, create a new document and paste it in.
If not, you can try screen shots: press and release both the Home button and the Power button together, you should hear a camera shutter sound. You can take as many screen shots as you want. You will find the screen shots on your camera roll in Photos.

Can't delete pages

Hi,
I've downloaded a free 30-day trial version of Adobe Acrobat Pro. It seems like I can't use many options there. For example, I need to delete pages, but under "Pages" in "Manipulate Pages" the option to delete doesn't work. I am clicking on it and nothing happens. It's all in gray there, so I can't use the tools to manipulate pages.
Please help me solve this issue.
Thanks!

Is it actually a multi-page document, and have you selected a specific page?
If that doesn't help, I recommend that you ask in the Acrobat forum.

How can I delete the entire address Book database?

Remove this from /Users/username/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/

How can I delete pages in a PDF document with Reader for iPad?

Is there a way to do this within Reader? I know you can do it with MAX PDF or PDF Splicer, but I was hoping for a native way to delete - for example - 2 pages from a 10 page document and then resave it to Dropbox, email it, or something along those lines...
I assume if you cannot delete, then you cannot merge 2 documents into one?
Thanks

I figured the app might have that ability - considering you can add text, highlight, add a signature, annotate and draw - so my thought was why not delete a page, or rearrange for that matter?.. That should be an option, this way we don't have to export to one of the other apps to delete or rearrange..
Thanks for the help, Bernd.
BTW if anyone is looking - PDF Max can do all of the above and delete and rearrange. With PDF Splicer you can delete and rearrange as well, but it has no other features.
And as for Steve Werner whose comment was deleted after it got to my inbox, it is much more than a Reader, as you can plainly see from the amount of tasks the Reader app can do above.

Can't delete groups in Address Book

I have a couple of local groups in my Address Book that refuse to delete. Even though the "Delete Group" dialog pops up when I highlight the group and press the Delete-key, they are still there after hitting the OK button.
When I create new groups (plus-button) I can delete them but not some of the old groups that were carried over from an older OS version.
I have been playing around with Entourage and Outlook a lot so that might have had something to do with it.
Is there a way to modify the Address Book database directly to get rid of these groups ?
Or reinstall Address Book ?
I already tried to swipe all Address Book related plist files - that didn't do it.

Ok, I have solved the problem: I had to reset my SyncServices folder.
Here's the description: http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1627
After that I was finally able to delete the unwanted groups.

Can't delete email AND address book changes randomly

As of yesterday I can highlight an email, hit delete but it doesn't go to the trash. I'll check my 2nd account, go back to the first account and all deleted messages are there. Plus, it will run continuously. Currently it says it is sorting. NEVER had this problem before and need help.
Secondly, my address book will randomly change the card names. I can go in, correct, save, close and the next time I open the address book some of them will be different. For instance one card is titled "Lexington". It has changed to "Lexington Lexington" several times or it will pick up the name of the last person in Lexington and show up as "Lexington Lastinger"

What sort of email account is this, POP or IMAP? What version of Mac OS X are you running; your profile says 10.3, but if that's true, then you're way behind the times and in the wrong forum. We need accurate information in your profile, so you need to update that.
Secondly, my address book will randomly change the card names.
No, this is not random. Mail and Address Book communicate, so when you receive an email from someone in your Address Book, if the name doesn't match the email address for that card, it is updated with the name in the email address.

I cannot delete pages from photo book.

I am finished creating my photo book but cannot delete extra pages. It is currently 33 pages (including cover) and I only need 29. I've tried the Delete key and the "Remove Page" option. I've also tried deleting the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file and restarting iPhoto. Nothing works. Any suggestions?

Covers do not count and you must have an even number of pages (sheets of paper have 2 sides)
The minimum for a book is 10 sheets of paper or 20 pages plus covers
How many pages do you have?
