CAN'T SELECT INDIVIDUAL PAGES IN THUMBNAILS TO RE-ARRANGE ORDER...

I have two Pages documents with text boxes, photos etc, which I created with separate pages using 'Sections' (add Blank) so that I could change page order etc in the thumbnails preview.
I've just opened the documents to edit/update them and both are now not allowing me to select and move the individual pages in the thumbnail viewer.
When I try to select a page it selects the whole document, which is exactly what I wanted to avoid by creating the pages/document with 'sections'.
Also I can't insert a new page into the document where I choose. I want to add new pages into various places in the document and can't.
Anyone have any idea how I can make the pages individually selectable again? And be able to insert a page where I choose? Took hours to create these documents and don't want to start from scratch again.
And does anyone know why suddenly the pages are 'locked' locked together when I specifically created the document with separate section pages? Want to avoid this happening in future; REALLY annoying!
If this is a Pages fault it stinks. If you can't simply re-arrange pages in a Pages document by drag and drop that's BAD! Anyone know a good alternative to Pages which allows this function?
Any solution/help/tips greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Ok, you are expecting Pages to work in a way it doesn't. You seem to have a Word processing document and the idea is to add or delete content, not pages. Pages will adjust to commode the contetn.
On the other hand if you can Insert > Section breaks where you want to add a page or Insert > Page break.
Layout documents will work as you want it but you need to use text boxes to being able to add text.
You can download the Pages User Guide from your Help menu and learn more about Pages.

New owner here. How can I select specific pages of a document found on line and print just those pages. What I see is the ability to select only 1 page at a time and print that one selected page only. Thanks much.

New owner here. I see that in printing I can select one page and print same. How do I select numerous pages from a document and print only those selected pages? I would not think that I can only select one page at a time. Thanks much

Just change the range as illustrated below. If you don't see that, click the Show Details button.

How can I select next page when on shopping website

When I'm on a shopping website, like BLoomingdales for example, I can't select next page or page 2. It only stays on the 1st page. Why is this?

if you have 3 pages in a smartform do this
DATA:L_NAME(17)   TYPE C VALUE '%HEADER-FIRSTPAGE'.

ASSIGN (L_NAME) TO <FIELD>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
    <FIELD> = 'PAGEA'.

You used to be able to scroll through the history of one tab by using an arrow on the left of the screen to see all the pages you visited on that tab and now it's missing. You can't select one page that was maybe 12 clicks back now.

If I'm on one site and click through several links on the page, I want to be able to look at the history of my clicks and return to an earlier click - like the second or third one instead of hitting the arrow button 12 times. You used to be able to get a drop-down history of all the clicks on one tab - it's now gone and it's really annoying.

There is a left arrow ("back button"). Click and hold down and after a second, you'll have a history list for the tab. You can then select the page you want from there.

After I have converted PDF file to Word how can I select certain pages to save them as a new document? Thank you

After I have converted PDF file to Word how can I select certain pages to save them as a new document? Thank you

You've said you have a Word file and want to use some pages in the file to create a new document.
Use Word to establish a new Word file that has the desired pages for the original Word file.
You now have a "new document" of the desired pages.
With Acrobat Standard or Pro installed you can create a "new document" PDF.
If you do not have Acrobat Standard or Pro or a subscription to an online Adobe service that can create PDF from MS Word you can use the Microsoft process to create PDF that comes with MS Word.
Be well...

How can I print a pages document in book format ..order?

This is usually a function of the driver you're using. Have you looked in the various PDEs for black and white or grayscale? What kind of printer are you using?

Pages 5 will not drag/drop individual pages in thumbnail view, grabs all pages!

When I try to grab a page in thumbnail view to move, it grabs all the pages in the document and I cannot move the page I want. Any ideas?
Thanks

What happens when the page breaks mid sentence? Do you just scramble the content? Your documents would rapidly be shuffled into unintelligibility.
I just checked in Word for Mac. It doesn't let you just drag random pages out of order either.
Pages has a mode, the same as Word for Mac, Layout mode where every page is individual and can be reordered at will.
The problem in Pages 5.2 is that it doesn't have Textbox linking that lets you flow text from one place to another in a document.
Pages '09 has Textbox linking and another 110 features missing from Pages 5.2.

The selections for synching music or artists no longer scrolls, so I can't select individual artists beyond the first few artists. How do I enable scrolling again?

The ability to scroll through individual artists or albums and select certain ones to synch no longer scrolls, so I am unable to select any but th first few. This feature used to scroll. The problem it creates is I don't have enough storage to synch the entire music library, but now can't select certain artists to synch. I have updated to the lastest version of iTunes and it didn't help.

I am using windows Vista and having this problem also (not exactly, but iTunes gives pop-up that "files are in use"). Acting a suggestion from another answer in this thread, I clicked on Computer and selected eject...windows did warn me that the device was in use, but also gave me a CONTINUE button, which I clicked and it was ejected...had to go back to iTunes and eject the iPod there also, but it did eject

Can I select nonconsecutive pages in the Firefox dialog box?

The only options I see are print all or print a range. Let's saycI want to print pages 2,4,6-7 and 9. Is there a way to do that without having to select print several times?

I'm afraid I don't think this is currently possible in Firefox. I can't find an add-on that would enable this feature.
There is a bug open here where users have requested this feature:
[https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=499640 Print Range - Pages: Can't select comma separated page numbers to print]
I suggest that you use the voting feature in bugzilla to register your interest / support for this bug. See here for more information on voting:

How can I select which page to display based upon a log-in?

I have created a page where the user will enter one of several codes. I wanted to use the login function and validate the code against a table that I have pre-loaded with these codes. The code entered would control which page was displayed to the user.
(I have identified a community of potential clients, and this group is broken down into 10 unique sub-groups. Each person receives a mail that includes one of 10 unique 'codes', which identify the sub-group. When the recipient calls up my website and enters the code (as a user ID), this will determine which of the 10 pages is displayed. If someone randomly enters (or mis-keys) a value into the promo field a default error page (page #11) would display.)
Is this possible using the log-in function. Now that I'm looking at the function, it appears that any successful log-in will be directed to the same page. If I can't use the log-in function, how can I accomplish this. In essence, I am looking for the successful codes to act as an "if . . .then . . .else . . " type of logic. Or, a successful hit on one of records in my table is akin to making a menu selection (that is not available in any other fashion).
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
BTW - kudos to David Powers and Charles Nadeau for the great tutorial on Setting up a PHP development environment for Dreamweaver!

Thanks so much for the reply. I chose to go with the array and added the following code (my code is in red) :
   if (isset($_SESSION['PrevUrl']) && false) {
      $MM_redirectLoginSuccess = $_SESSION['PrevUrl'];
$redirects = array('snj830' => 'promosnj830.php', 'snj141' => 'promosnj141.php', ‘snj416’ => ‘promosnj416’);
    header("Location: " . $redirects[$_SESSION[‘MM_Username]] );
else {
    header("Location: ". $MM_redirectLoginFailed );
The re-direct on a failed logon is working successfully, but if I enter one of my 3 valid codes, the following screen is displayed:
Index of /boundsauctions.com/promopages

As you can see, the last three pages here are the ones that I am trying to display. Can you tell what I'm doing wrong?

Can't select Master Page object on document page.

Hi,
Yes, I know this question has been asked a million times. But, it's just not working for me. I've got a simple green box at the bottom right of my master page. I've made it into a button. I've allowed the master page to overwrite. But, on my document pages I simply cannot select this object. I've made the object into a button, per the master page, and, I need to have it link from each page back to a previous page in the document. Yes, I've tried Cmd + Shift, then click on the object, but, that doesn't work.
My button shares space with a page text box. Those are the only objects on the page, though. If I move the text box up, then yes, I can select the button. But, that's cheating.
Thanks a lot for any help.

What do you mean shares space with? Is it on top of the button?
If so, try locking it the text frame..

Can't select individual elements

I have a website developed by an outside firm. When I open a page in Dreamweaver (CS4 or CS%) in design view and click on any object in the page, the entire outer wrapper div gets selected. I can't use the tag selector or select any single element, piece of text, or object. This is extremely frustrating.
Does anyone have any idea what causes this or how to fix it?
Thanks,

Hi Patty,
did you look here:
where you can switch on/off your sight. Here is the link to Adobe-Help:
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7fc5a.h tml
Look to this paragraph:
Status bar overview
The Status bar at the bottom of the Document window provides additional information about the document you are creating.
A. Tag selector
Tag selector: Shows the hierarchy of tags surrounding the current selection. Click any tag in the hierarchy to select that tag and all its contents. Click <body> to select the entire body of the document. To set the class or ID attributes for a tag in the tag selector, right-click (Windows) or Control-click (Macintosh) the tag and select a class or ID from the context menu.

If you transfer data from Mac to Mac by Thunderbolt can you select individual files to transfer

I have 2 iMacs and understand I can connect them together using Thunderbolt connection. I want to know if you can transfer individual files or if the transfer is simply the system from one to the other.
If you can select files to transfer then how do you do it
Thanks

If you mean using Target Disk Mode with a Thunderbolt connection refer to http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10725 for how to set one Mac up as the target disk.
To transfer files, just drag them from one of them to the other, just like you would do to copy between any other disk drives.

Shift key doesn't select blocks of files. Even after clean install of mavericks in case it was old snow leopard problem. Can only select individual files

Hi for a few months my shift key stopped allowing me to select blocks of files and worked like the cmd key selecting just individual files. Apple store sold me a. New keyboard when I connected it first time it worked. But after shutting down mac it never worked again. Have just performed clean install of new mavericks as I was told it must be the permissions or other account settings etc. But 2 days later after lots of work shift still doesn't work. Every now and then it would work once and then. Not again. I work with photos a lot and only being able to choose individual files is a nightmare. Can anyone explain this problem.?

I installed mavericks from a USB and reformatted the hd. I set up a new user account added email, apple ID etc and then downloaded new iPhoto and iMovie. I manually copied documents, music inc itunes library folder and photos from time machine back up. I also copied original apps only using migration assistant to get idvd and garageband back as despite a lot of searching i couldnt find a way to selectively reinstall original apps not purchased from app store. Only third party apps are photoshop elements 9 and office 2011.
