Can't type in Pages 4.3

For some reason, when I opened Pages to type a letter, I can't get my curser to show up. All the features that require curser to be active are greyed out (such as insert date). This is highly frustrating and I have gone through every menu to see what I could possibly have toggled accidentally. I have no idea how to fix this and Apple help is no help at all. Please, can someone suggest some causes for this problem and how to fix it???

You have opened a blank Layout template which is truly blank, you need to add Textboxes or Shapes to type into.
Go back to the Template Chooser and select a Word Processing blank template. They are listed in the Sidebar.
This will give you your default document layer to type into.

I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size but It.

Hi to the Mac Folks,
I have 10.6.8 and have installed two new printers HP 8610 and an Epson 7880 and can not find the Page Set-up menu anywhere in the applications I a trying to print from. This is regardless of either printer selected.
I primarily print photos from Photoshop CS5. The term Page Set-up has gone missing in the file pull down menu. Can't make any choices There are no page sizes, paper types, appearsto be locked on a 13x19 size paper format. Either being too large or too small.
Saw a 2008 locked issue about this however none of the help fit my situation, options discussed are not available to me.
Preview has no "Page Setup" - or does it?
Does the constant struggle with computer compatability weirdness issues ever end or is it a enslavement scheme?

Hey,
if you know the name(s) of the root folder(s) you want to access (eg. by making a note on the Windows side) then you can make them appear by just doing Shift-Command-G in Finder ("Go to Folder…"), and entering the full path to the required folders. You can then navigate all the contents as normal.

The main part of the safari page is grey and won't respond/can't type in any commands. I can move back through the previous pages, and even open new ones via the URL, but can't get onto the main part of the page and I can't get onto the 9 page option. !?

Help, please.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Build a blank/other type of page which can show links to other pages

Can someone please tell me how to build a blank/other type of page which can show links to other pages? I mainly want a page to show 3 links, once someone clicks on it, then it will go to a specified page. I tried using URL, but that did not work. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you very much for your help in advance.
-Grace

Do a region (probably a HTML-based one is fine), enter in the HTML for your links, and that should be it. What didn't work about this?
Your links probably should appear like this in your coding (use substitution variables):
f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&APP_SESSION.
In the above example, "&APP_ID." will resolve dynamically to the application ID that you are in, "3" is page 3 (change this to whatever page you want the link to be), and "&APP_SESSION." is the existing session number (if you don't include this, the user will receive a new session ID if the destination page is public or will be intercepted annoyingly to log in and get a new session ID which you probably don't want).
Do not include the full http path. Just start with f?p... and everything is assumed to be relative to Apex on the current environment.
Those are effectively the minimum requirements for a URL in Apex to go from one page to another in an app. You can add to that the additional URL parameters for Request value, Set items with values, clear cache, reset pagination, etc. if you need to. Check the Apex online help under "understanding URL syntax" for details on these.

Just recently, my 'Numbers' and 'Pages' programs will not respond. I can click on it, but I can't type anything into the cells, or use the keyboard.

I am unable to type into Pages and Numbers for some reason. I can open them up, but I can't right click. I am using a bluetooth keyboard, on a macbook pro 2007 / 2.4 ghz A1226. I have restarted the computer, repaired disck permissions, done a software update, searched endlessly through the options and preferences to try and see if I may have locked it. I don't have a num lock on my keyboard. Any suggestions?

I wasn't quite sure what editing mode was, so I googled it and found a list of commands on another apple support page. http://www.apple.com/support/pages/shortcuts/
I must have inadvertantly hit a 'command + enter' button and/or another combination of keys. What set the text edit back into motion, and allowed me to begin typing again was hitting 'command + delete.' (It may have been command + enter, but I started typing again after hitting command + delete.)
I have tried to recreate the conditons again but have been unsuccessful. I was experiencing the same issue in keynote as well. When I accomplished the command in pages and unlocked it using the instrutions above, all of iWork returned to normal functionality.
Thank you very much for the help.

Internet explorer 11 missing letters on web page and can't type in a search

Windows 10 preview installed
Internet explorer 11 missing letters on web page and can't type in a search

I just got a call about this exact issue today!
The person is at a Marriott hotel which uses some type of company called STSN for their internet connection via both Ethernet and Wifi.
http://www.stsn.com/home.html
I'm waiting for them to call me back after trying every trouble shooting step I could think of. My only guess now is that it's Safari's pop up blocker blocking some kind of navigation or log-in window. I'm going to tell them to turn off pop-up blocker menu choice next.
After that it's turning off Java and Javascript to see if the have any affect.
Btw, they're experiencing this propblem on a TiBook G4. Also tried a new user account and two other pre-existing accounts but all had the same issue. Both with Ethernet and WiFi the problem remained.

My iMac will go to the start up page but I can't type my password

I was wondering if anyone could tell me how to fix the problem where I get to the start up page but I can't type in my password

Are you using a Bluetooth keyboard? if so make sure its connected, also try restarting your computer in safe mode (hold down the shift key when restarting) then try to log in.

Every time I type a double u (can't type the letter) my computer beeps several times and takes me to Mozilla Firefox Help Page. This is very frustrating to say the least. Please help me fix this problem. Thank You Immensly!!!

The details are Mozilla Firefox Help takes over my computer every time I type a double u (can't type the actual letter or it takes over and beeps 4-5 times then brings up Mozilla Firefox Help screen

Add Device sees wireless but printer is wired and can reach the HTTP page on wire

I installed my new Officejet 8000 Pro A809 with an ethernet but when I run the HP "Add Device" Wizard, it trys to install it as wireless even though I select wired and the install fails.
I can see the http page for the printer and it shows all sane information about my printer so I believe the ethernet is actually working.
I am running WinXP with the FW off. The printer is on the same switch as my PC & of course I can see the http page
In the wizard, although I selected "Wired" of course the wire is working, the "Found Network Printers" page shows that its connection is wireless. None-the-less I click next and a screen comes up for "Starting Network Services" & it rolls though topology, wireless strength, etc. and to sending an SLP request to the IP then it fails & shows an picture of a wireless signal and a big red X.
The HP Home Network Diagnostics Utility says that software to connect to printer over network is missing BUT I ran the Wizard all the way though a second time, I selected that my device was not online and it finished OK. I ran the UPDATE from the Utility & it did a security update; I rand it again and it did not find any.
Although my FW is off, I checked the ports that the FW Guide says are needed:
I can telenet to the printer on ports 9100 & 92200
I cannot telnet on ports 137,139 or 427
Ideas?
Thanks!

OK, plugging the Ethernet cable into the printer should turn off the printer's wireless radio, but in case it did not, click the button near the blue light (or go to Setup > Network > Turn off wireless radio on the front panel).
Now, don't bother with the Add Device wizard, let's just add it manually:
Verify that you can browse to the printer's internal web page by its IP address. If you cannot, disable your security system's firewall (not Windows firewall, it is usually not in the way).
1. Click "Start" button --> Printers and Faxes.
2. Under Printer Tasks, click "Add Printer".
3. Click "Next" button on the Add Printer Wizard window.
4. Select "Local printer attached to this computer". Deselect "Automatically detect and install My Plug and play printer". Click "Next".
5. Under Select a Printer Port option, select "Create a new port" and select "Standard TCP/IP Port" and click "Next" button.
6. In the "Welcome to the Add Standard TCP/IP printer port wizard" make sure that the printer is turned on and connected to same network that your computer is connected to. Click "Next" button.
7. Under "Add Standard TCP/IP Printer Port" enter the printer's IP address. Click "Next" then click "Finish".
8. Now, select HP from the list of manufacturers, select your printer from the list of Printer models and click 'Next' button.
9. If you can't find your printer, you'll need to find the install CD and use the "Have Disk" option to select one of the hp*.ini files. Alternatively, you can select another HP printer model from the same type.
10. Add the print spooler name and click "Next".
11. Click "Next"
12. Click "Next" and then "Finish"

Hi,
Sorry I can't work out your question BUT if you wish to merge many pdf files to one pdf file you can use this free program (download from the following link):
http://www.pdfsam.org/?page_id=32
This program also allows you to split one big unprotected pdf file to many smaller pdf files such as extract few chapters from a thick book.

How can I convert iWeb page to html with NO javascript for email campaign?

I have a holiday greeting I made in iWeb '09 for my business. The service I'm using to use to manage my mailing list wants me to strip all javascript code from the page so it is not seen as spam when it is emailed.
How can I convert the page made in iWeb to an html page with no javascript?
Thanks

How can I convert the page made in iWeb to an html page with no javascript?
You cannot. There will be nothing left. iWeb pages rely a lot on JavaScript.
Use a template from Mail.app. Or create such template. These are simple TABLES and have no JavaScript in it.
Do Cmd-Shift-G in the finder and type :
/Library/Application Support/Apple/Mail/Stationery/Apple/Contents/Resources/
Open one of the folders and open each successive folder until you see files like Picnic.mailstationery.
Right-click to show the package content.
Then navigate thru Contents, Resources until you see the files and images you need.
Edit them to your hearts content.
Double-click the file Picnic.mailstationery and it will open in Mail.app for further processing.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc.

How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?

> How can I convert a pages color document to a PDF Black and White doc. Or, covert the color to B&W in a new doc?
The general idea is that you colour correct photographs once, archive, and convert with or without colour changes. The archived photograph is unchanged - or we would be colour correcting the same photographs again and again and again.
If you have a photograph with a corrected exposure, you can open the photograph in the Apple ColorSync Utility, apply a colour space conversion to a grayscale appearance using the preinstalled ICC profile, save the photograph under another name, and place that in your pagination.
If you have a paginated document with corrected exposures, and any such non-scalable bitmap or scalable spline graphics as you have chosen to add, you can render the pagination as a whole to PDF through the same ICC profile, carrying out the same colour space conversion on any and all objects.
Caveat: If you intend the pagination for certain processes, in particular offset lithography, then you are probably expected not to render the type to grayscale, but rather to render it to single ink solid black. No software can determine what printing process you intend, you have to understand a bit about printing, and how to set up general colour space conversions in software. Ask your prepress provider, and if the answer is not prompt and proficient, pick another provider.

EMAIL-CAN NOT TYPE IN THE BODY OF THE EMAIL

I can not type on the body of my email through comcast SmartZone. I am using Internet Explorer 9 and from my comcast home page when I access my email and try and compose an email or reply there is no where to type the body of the email. When I go to the Comcast help page where it has Comcast Customer Central it looks distorted like you are looking at with double vision. When I am trying to compose an email it has everything except the body to type on, it is all gray in that area and then at the bottom of the page it has the reply etc just like at the top of the page. Also when I am on my smartzone at home versus at work it looks different. Like on my email at home the first button is refresh and here at work it is new?? I have contacted Comcast and they were able to login to my email and had not problems. So I do think it is a setting but I do not know where to even start. Please help,

It could be a compatability issue between IE9 and the Comcast
email website. Try it in compatibility view in the IE9 browser.
You might also want to use or create another email account
using another service like gmail as a test to see what happens.

How can I type on a PDF file? Do I need a specific version of Adobe to enter a text box?

I would rather type my information onto the page rather than hand write it and I don't have access to a type writer. How can I type my info onto the application?? Please help!

With Adobe Reader XI, you can add text comments and notes, as well as adding new text boxes using the Comment pane shown below:
However, if you actually need to edit text, you'll need to purchase Acrobat XI from Adobe.

Thanks, I'm typing this message from an external keyboard borrowed from one of my schools iMac. It is working fine so could this be a serious hardware issue? I upgraded the RAM from 4 gb to 16 gb thinking that would solve the slowness/beachball issue but it didn't. Could it possibly be a faulty SATA cable or time to upgrade my hard drive as well?
I'm feeling like this is beyond my reach and do not want to damage my MBP further. I'll shut it down and take it to the tech store on campus and hope they have mercy on my wallet. Thanks for the help.
