Cannot add an image to a pages document.

I have a 7 page document that has 10 images included. They are small screen shots about 300 x 500 px. When I try to add another image, I get the resize handles displayed, but no image. I've tried adding the image from the Media Browser and finder. I ended up saving the document, and starting another from where I left off. I'll combine them in Acrobat. Any ideas? if apple would like the file to examine, let me know.
I had another image issue with a newsletter I generated using one of the Pages templates. After running pages for a while, the Media Browser would refuse to open or open very slowly. I figured it was a memory issue, and used the finder window instead.
I'm really trying to leave Word behind. So any information would be appreciated.
Thanks Woody
If apple would

Apple is fair enough to deliver a well done "Pages User Guide" with the application.
Those who took care to open it are aware of that:
+*Working with Images*+
+Import an image as a floating object when you want it to remain in a particular place on a page. If you are working with a word processing document, you can import an image as an inline object when you want the object to flow with its surrounding text.+
+Pages accepts all QuickTime-supported formats, including the following graphics file+
types:
+• TIFF+
+• GIF+
+• JPEG+
+• PDF+
+• PSD+
+• EPS+
(it's in page 133 in the English version)

  • Adding images to a Pages document

    I've tried a few different things to add images to a pages document. I can get them in the document, but when I save as Word Doc. and open in Word on a PC, all images are gone. What's the best way to import images and make sure they're there regardless of the file type or platform they're going to be opened in?

    I have no trouble exporting Page's documents to Word that contain jpg, png, eps, or objects inserted by Pages itself. I don't recall trying pdf files. Graphics placed inline or floating both work. I've dragged pictures from the desktop, copy pasted, used the Insert>Choose command and even dragged them from one application to another with success. Now the Word document didn't always have the same formatting as the Pages document, but the pictures were there.
    It would be useful to know what type of graphic image(s) you've inserted.

    Danny,
    Sure you csn. Don't be afraid to try this kind of stuff for yourself. If things don't work out, just Command-Z your way back to the previous state. In this case it should work just great. Once your multiple selection appears in Pages, click off the selected new objects to de-select them, then select them one at a time for positioning.

  • How to add an image in multiple pages?

    Hi,
    First be aware that before posting this, I digged into Google but could not find a solution.
    How to add an image in the footer section of a PDF document of size, say, 500pages? I am not going to add it one by one in very page, it's too time consuming.
    Is there a way to add it in the footer section or any other alternative, so that I end up with the same image in an exact position in all 500 pages?
    Thanks for your reply
    Best,
    Eric

  • Cannot ADD Attachments per your support page. Why?

    Followed instructions on your 'How to Add Attachments to a Message' page. Have 'browsed' to location of the 'file'-actually a folder
    'I wish to attach'; selected the desired file/folder and clicked 'OPEN' and '"repeated until all files are added". 'Files are shown (4) in
    upper righthand corner. From there I have NO success in transferring, dragging or moving them To the message area. HOW Do I
    move the files, as attachments to my message?

    If you are Attaching files they will stay in the attachment pane.
    If you are trying to Insert an image into the message body then use Insert instead of Attach.
    You cannot drag a file from the attachment pane into the body of the message.

  • Moving an images in a pages document to iphoto...how?

    How do you get an image in pages into iphoto? The image name is Signature Blue Color.gif? I am not sure where the original is, but I have it in a pages document.
    How do you use an image in pages as an Inspector, fill, image fill without moving it to iphoto first? I don't think you can.
    thanks

    It would help if you gave us a few breadcrumbs of information.
    Such as which template you are referring to.
    Select the graphic:
    +Inspector > Metrics > File Info > drag the file's icon to your desktop+

  • Adobe Form - Cannot add Javasript codes on Master Pages

    Hi Experts - please help
    Could someone please tell me Why (or How) JavaScript cannot be plave on a Master Page - I have some Javascript codes here working fine on a subform page - but when I try to put them on a Master page page - the JavaScript editor is greyed out - unenable me to put the codes in - If I put the codes in the subform in the Master page - nothing work - ??
    Should I use xfa.layout...for the resolveNodes ???
    Thanks in advance
    Points rewarded for replies

    Hello,
    Not sure what the problem could be, but here are few hints:
    1) We have placed JavaScript code in the Master pages before, and it worked fine.
    2) We are using Adobe LiveCycle Designer Version 7.1.
    3) Remember, you can't put JavaScript code for the ContentArea of the Masterpage, So try adding a blank subform, and place some test code (xfa.host.Messagebox....) in the following event: layout:ready
    Is it a Print form?
    hope this helps,
    Harman

  • Cannot switch preferred application to open pages document

    When I double click a .pages document the application Preview opens and tries to open the document. If I do a Command+I or Get Info I see that the Preview application is selected to open the document. If I then click the dropdown menu to see what apps will open it I see Pages (default). Preview is not even listed. If I select Pages and click the Change All… button it switches back to Preview. It seems there is a preference file that is not functioning properly or something within the OS. How do I fix this?

    Have you done any maintenance of the computer lately? You can use the Disc Utility or the free Onyx from _http://www.titanium.free.fr/_
    Delete the file Jerrold mentioned and restart the computer. Don't start Pages or Preview before you have restarted the computer again.

  • Cannot add a signature after certifying a document Acrobat 8 Pro

    Every time I try to add a signature, in Acrobat 8 Professional, after certifying a document with a visible signature, the "Place signature" and "Sign document" menu items appear disabled, even though I chose to give permission to add form data and signatures at the time of placing the certifying signature. And even though these settings appear in the security properties of the document and in the certify signature properties.
    What can be wrong ? Thanks.

    To sign a certified document, you need to have at least one unused pre-authored signature field.

  • Can't select images in Pages 5.2 from updated older Pages document

    I have a Pages document created 18 months ago.  Upon trying to open and edit in the new Pages 5.2, none of my images in the sidebar (outside my main body margins) are now selectable.  In prior Pages versions you had some feature to allow you to select images in background.  No longer can I find out how to do this.  This I have a document template with images that are unselectable.
    I can't be the only one facing this dilemma. Of course my proposal is due tomorrow and my old documents-as-templates are now worthless.
    Anybody?  (the documentation is so weak it simply states to "select image" before any feature explanation on manipulating etc..)

    No, VikingOSX very sound comment didn't help because no older versions were not saved when Applecare did a clean install of Mavericks after my machine fix.  All I have is Pages 5.2.
    The "hijack" comment was that you insist I downgrade my Pages version, when my question was related to how to do something in 5.2.   App store does not let me download any older versions nor does the link you provided give me instructions on how to download older version.  It stated that it was a popup option "Download an older version of this app?"  However, I do not get that option when I try. 
    1: Not an option as I will not waste the time and many app upgrades which utilize Mavericks as my daily workflow to downgrade my entire system to an older OSX version just for Pages.  That is unreasonable and very timeconsuming and will cause many of my Mavericks upgraded applications to not work any longer (yes, I have researched each app to determine a versioning punchlist if I were to downgrade OSX, and many current daily applications are versioned for the current OSX version)
    2&3:  Yes a have spoken to Apple multiple times, they have only given me the same response to use current version (5.2) that was available in the App store under the "Purchases" tab. They would not give me instructions on how to download an older version.  Their response is that I have the newer version now, which is what they support and what they have given me access to.
    4: Yes, I have replied mutiple times, that the problem is that I cannot select the image on the document.  Hence the original title of this post.  Cannot move if I cannot select.  Pages will only let me select the text next to it.  Click on the image will not select it at all.  So the answer to your question "at what point you could not get them to work"  is that I cannot select an image on an existing document that is outside of the margin and was a background image when the document was created in an older Pages version.
    Thanks for your continued interest in my post, but please, let's stay on topic.  
    ** To others reading this thread, I am simply looking for an answer to how to select a background image in 5.2 from a older produced Pages document.  Is there a menu item I am overlooking or inspector item, etc that would allow me to click on an image already in the background of a document so I could delete or move it.   Pages will not let me select the image by clicking on it.  There must be a simple way I am overlooking.  Thank you.
    If Pages '09 is the answer, then fine.  How do I acquire for download Pages '09 as I cannot seem to get AppStore to offer me that option.

  • How do you add an image in the text area of a page/section?

    This has been driving me nuts!
    When I try to add an image to a page, it will ONLY go into the header.  If I try to drag the image onto the page where the text is, it gets hidden behind a layer.
    I've looked at the menu choices and I don't seem to be allowed to bring the image to the front.  Nor does clicking in the text area and then trying to paste or insert the image - it still goes up in the header.
    What is the secret to placing images along with your text on a page in the iBooks Author program?
    Thanks!

    Wow, Apple has really constrained the "box" that we have to fit our books into!
    I was hoping to take some iPad screenshots and put them inline with the text.  Since they are portrait iPad screenshots, the book that I'd like to create looks much better (and makes more sense) in portrait mode.
    Apple has released this awesome tool, yet they seem to have restricted the author from using any creativity at all.
