  • Can't launch pages, numbers and keynote

    HI
    I was reading the chain of discussion re Pages won't launch. I am having the same problem but Numbers Pages and Keynote won't launch. I did not have the original disk as future shop sold to me when I purchased my IMAC.. so hope do I get it back. When I log on with another name it works.. I created an administrator log on and all the programs work.
    Any help anyone can offer will be appreciated

    Are you sure that you installed the apps in the main Applications folder :
    <startupVolume>:Applications:iWork '09:
    I would not be surprised if they are in :
    <startupVolume>:Users:<alternateAccount>:Applications:iWork '09:

  • How can I reset Pages after a failed update attempt?

    I tried to download an update to Pages while away from home and my WiFi network. The updater instructed me to either download the update from a WiFi connection or to use my MacBook to download the update and sync my iPad afterward. Home is 700 miles away, and I don't have access to either my MacBook or to my home network. The problem is that the Pages icon is sitting on the desktop waiting for the update to start. I can't launch Pages until I either go home or find a WiFi connection that will permit downloading the update. Is there a way to reset Pages right now so I can use the application without updating it? I've tried powering down the iPad and restarting it, but that has not helped.

    Jack,
    I agree with you totally! Obviously, there's something terribly wrong with Apple's latest iTunes version 10.5 and it seems that everyone (including me) is experiencing major problems.
    I don't even have any minor problems with it and neither do millions of others, so "everyone" does not have major problems.
    But...Apple's "Support" people seem to be hiding behind a "firewall" from having to actually respond  to the myriad of problems this new version has created and leaving it up to the "Support Community" (i.e.- that's right...you & me) to resolve these issues.
    So what did Apple Support say when you contacted them?

  • The curser includes a text box from a previous image or link when the curser is positioned on the side of the page. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. how do i get rid of this?

    the cursor includes a text box from a previous image or link when the cursor is positioned on the side of the page. it will mainly happen when i hit "back" from the page i was on. i click and it goes away but only to return again on the next launched page. i also keep several tabs open and it will carry over to any one of them i go to. how do i get rid of this?
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == when i upgraded to most recent version 3.6.8

    A number of extensions can cause that problem, you'll need to do a little troubleshooting to find out which extension is causing that to happen for you.

  • I can't open Pages app on iMac

    Hi all, I can't open Pages app on my computer. These are the specs:
    iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB, 2/3 of a TB free storage capacity,
    Yosemite version 10.10.2
    Originally I had iWork 09 and since I've been updating from the app store since they are available in there. Now version 5.5.2
    I wanted to create a new document and explore the templates available for it but when I click the icon of the Pages app or the name in the Finder apps list, it won't open, instead it opens another window for me to choose what I want to open -see pic below-, and as you can see from the light gray color I can't choose the app from there.
    I open the app store to see if I needed to update it and it is already done. So I don't know what to do... Can anybody help please? Thanks

    If one clicks that extreme left icon, the Favorites panel disappears, leaving the Application view we see posted. Additionally, the OP has the
    Finder Preferences ▸ Advanced ▸ All My Files checked, instead of their login directory (house icon).
    This just adds to the mayhem. Once Finder Preferences is fixed, then the OP can click Applications, and from that lengthy menu, select their login directory, or Documents.
    Why the OP did not just click New Document and review the bundled templates, is a question mark. Or click Launchpad in the Dock, to launch Pages.

  • Can I use Pages with more than one user?

    Hi,
    I recently purchased Pages and want to be able to use it with two different users (one personal, one business). Is this possible? If so, how? I have no problem using it with the user I purchased it with, but my business user does not the option for Pages in the launchpad. How can I use Pages across users?
    Thank you,
    Britta

    Pages should be installed in the Applications folder at the top level of your hard drive to be available to all users of that Mac. By default, if you are logged in as an administrator, applications are installed in this folder. I haven't done it, but I understand that if you are not an administrator, applications are installed only in that user's applications folder.
    My installation of iWork is from the retail disc from more than three years ago but I did check for an app purchased from the Mac App Store in another user account on my Mac & had no problems finding it or launching it from Launchpad. Launchpad can be very cluttered &, unless you take the time to organize it, it can be very difficult to find a particular application. I would suggest trying to launch Pages from a Finder window or with a Spotlight search. And keep the Pages icon in the Dock for easy access the next time.

  • New hard drive installed on my 2009 mac book. Can I reinstall pages, numbers, etc... from the App Store? I was running Lion.

    New hard drive installed on my 2009 mac book. Can I reinstall pages, numbers, etc... from the App Store? I was running Lion.

    HI Corey ...
    Yes. Make sure you use the same Apple ID.
    How to re download apps from the Mac App Store:
    Open the App Store. From the menu bar click Store > Sign In
    Click Purchases from the top of the App Store window.
    Select which apps you want to re download. Then right or control click where you see Installed  then click Install.
    Make sure and use the same Apple ID used for the original purchase.
    If you can't re dowload the apps, launch iTunes. From the iTunes menu bar top of your screen click Store > Authorize This Computer. Sign out of the iTunes store and try re downloading your apps from the App Store again.

  • Canon MX870 will print wirelessly but will not scan and can't launch EX navigator

    My laptop recently crapped out on me the hard drive failed. It's an old Macbook pro vintage with 4gig memory and running OS X maverics. After I got a new hard drive put in and restored my computer using a time machine backup I noticed the Tech had gone ahead and installed a newer operating system 10.9.2 and now I cannot get my Canon pixma MX870's software to work. After going to the Canon site and downloading newer drivers and wrangling with it for three hours I finally was able to get it to print wirelessly somehow, don't ask me how. But it will print wireless however it still will not scan even if I use image capture it sees no printer available and the ex navigator software keeps showing an error message it cannot launch! How bogus! Macs have always just worked period. No problem but now even when I go back to my old install disc for the Canon pixma MX870 it says that the software is not supported by this operating system .....REALLY... this printer is only about three years old! I'm shocked that apple could actually go ahead and make new versions of maverics that don't support printer software from two years ago..... REALLY you're kidding right! Whats next you won't support software from two months ago! I guess we have to just buy a new printer every month.
    This machine is starting to remind me of a Windows laptop what a nightmare. Jobs must be rolling in his grave. This is just utterly pathetic. This is the beginning of the end for Apple. I've always been impressed with how easy it is to use apple stuff but this is the second time I've updated my operating system only to find I have to go through **** just to get the freakin' printer to work. Come on guys somebody show me an easy fix here and if any body says it's the printer companies responsibility to update their drivers and software I think I'm going to puke. I have already downloaded the newest Canon software for the MX870 and it can't launch I was able to get the printer to print but can't get the scanner to work and the solutions menu is now useless.

    Well you are right Steve my complaint is with Canon for not making it easier to install their necessary updates if you upgrade your OS system but it seems that when Apple is constantly making new upgrades available they might want to add in the heads up "OH by the way, if you install this new OS it's likely your printer won't work any more if it's more than three years old." along side the constant   "Updates are available for your computer" they should really have it read "Updates are available for your computer, proceed at your own risk"  No I'm sorry the whole system is geared towards making people get so frustrated that they eventually give up and buy a new printer. I'm not sure what 5 hours of my time is worth but I am sure that if were getting paid by the hour it would be enough to buy a new Canon comparable to the MX870. So by the way if other people are having this same problem, which of course thousands of them are, the solution is first download the newer driver, then download the new wireless setup assistant and then figure out how to use it (good luck with that), it took me about two hours just to find the access points on the printer and to be honest I just got lucky eventually. Then you must download the newer "Scan Gear" software if you want to scan. But it seems that the new "Scan Gear" software got my whole solutions menu to start working again so there you go, you can be a white night for somebody else who is having this same problem. I must admit that after wrangling for hours I continued to go back to the forums and eventually found a link to the canon software update page provide by some very nice girl who was very helpful for some other guy and the link took me to the same page I had been to several times already but I then downloaded the "Scan Gear" software and was up and running again. So thank you to that nice girl and in the spirit of her helpfulness I offer this to the thousands of other poor bastards that cannot get their MX870 to scan
    http://www.usa.canon.com/cusa/support/consumer/printers_multifunction/pixma_mx_s eries/pixma_mx870#DriversAndSoftware
    Go there and download the "Scan Gear" software that is for OS 10.9

  • How do you launch Pages in Leopard?

    Double clicking the Pages icon in a Finder window launches Pages of course, and it works fine.
    Likewise, launching it from the list of Recent Items works.
    However, in Tiger I used to also launch it from the Application folder, which I had conveniently put in the Dock. Click on the Application folder and hold down the mouse button, drag to the iWork folder and then to the Pages application.
    This was very convenient for all those applications that are inside their own folders in the Application folder, like Photoshop, Excel, Pages, and so on.
    With Leopard, that way of launching an application is gone. Click on the Application folder in the Dock and you get a "Stack" and you have to click on the iWork folder which will open a Finder window, where you can click on the Pages icon - then click on the close button of the Finder window to get rid of the Desktop clutter.
    I was wondering if anyone else finds this inconvenient, and if you have found any clever workaround?

    I don't have Leopard yet... kinda disappointing about the non-hierarchical stacks. But I would think you can work around this by creating aliases of your subfoldered apps.

    On the Mac, option-double-clicking on something in the Finder will open the item and close the window automagically to reduce clutter.

  • I just downloaded Mountain Lion and everything is working great. But i keep getting an error in the app store and i can't download 'Pages"

    I just downloaded Mountain Lion and everything is working great. But i keep getting an error in the app store and i can't download 'Pages' or any other apps. I keep getting an "error" and it says credit card processing is temporarily unavailable......help

    Try deleting the cache associated with the App Store.
    Quit the App Store if it's open.
    Open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here:
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Launch the App Store. See if that made a difference...

  • Can't launch Safari after Software Update

    I can't start Safari anymore and I don't know what to do. In short, click on the dock and no bounce. Double-click on the icon within Applications and it doesn't launch either. These problems, I'm guessing are a result of the combination of objects delivered by Software Update yesterday. Based on the log below, I installed the following:
    2006-05-29 22:05:53 -0700: Installed "Pages Update" (1.0.2)

    2006-05-29 22:10:02 -0700: Installed "iPod Updater 2006-03-23" ( )
    Additional problematic behavior includes:
    (1) other applications saying OS X is not 10.3.8 or higher
    (2) can't launch Software Update from the Apple menu or from the "About This Mac" window
    (3) can't see the system version in "About This Mac" (shows the serial number instead)
    (4) can't run a bunch of other apps (Dashboard, iMovie, iChat, Sims 2 University)
    Any clues? Am I in the right forum?
    iBook G4   Mac OS X (10.4.2)  

    (3) in About This Mac click on the serial number and it should cycle through the Mac OS version, build, and serial number. Run Repair Disk Permissions then run Software update again. There might be other updates available. After each update run Repair Disk Permissions.

  • Can I rotate pages in adobe reader for iPad.

    Can I rotate pages in Adobe Reader for iPad?

    Normally, the page will rotate when you rotate your iPad.
    If it does not, click the Home button to return to the home screen. Click the Settings app to launch it. In the Settings list on the left, select General. In the list on the right, in the "Use Side Switch to" section, check Lock Rotation. Then check the position of the lock rotation switch on your iPad. It's found just above the volume up/down control. Make sure it's UNLOCKED.

  • Can I launch more than one instance?

    Can I launch more than one instance of the same AIR
    application?

    Check out page 309 of the AIR Dev Guide "Only one instance of
    an AIR application is started. When an already running application
    is invoked again, AIR dispatches a new invoke event to the running
    instance. It is the responsibility of an AIR application to respond
    to an invoke event and take the appropriate action (such as opening
    a new document window)."
    It looks like we have to handle this InvokeEvent.INVOKE event
    and programatically create a new instance of the application.
    If anyone's done this already an example would be a big help
    as this will be a VERY common use case.

  • I can't launch itunes says it's on a locked disk and I don't have write permission for the folder,how do I fix this?

    I can't launch itunes on PC it says it's on a locked disk and that I don't have write permissions for the folder.So how would I go about fixing this,any information would be helpfull.Cuz' I wanna transfer stuff from my PC to my Ipad and understand You have to go through itunes to do that.

    The path C:/documents and setting/...iTunes.msi cannot be found. Verify that you have access to this location and try again, or try to find the installation package 'iTunes.msi' in a folder from which you can install the product iTunes.
    Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility from the following page (use one of the links under the thingy on the Major Geeks page):
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    To install the utility, doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file you downloaded.
    Now run the utility ("Start > All Programs > Windows Install Clean Up"). In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
