Current and previous version of Pages are in conflict.

Since installing the new version of Pages I'm unable to open the application on my Macbook Pro. The menu bar appears but that's it...can't open existing documents or create new ones. (works fine on my iPad and iPhone) I took it into the Apple store and confused them! The final conclusion was that the 2 versions of Pages still existed and were in conflict thereby preventing either from opening. They wiped my machine and I reloaded everything manually per their instructions. Pages opened successfully on the first attempt and has since gone back to not giving me anything but the menu bar. I'm hesitant to take it back to the store since I'll probably be given the same results and the reloading process was a pain. It does appear that both versions of Pages is still in existance on my Mac. Suggestions? OS X 10.9.2 Can't tell you the specifics abotu either version of Pages short of them being the 'new' Pages and the most recent previous version.

What fools you must have at your local Apple Store!
You tell the version of each application by looking in the Application menu when it is open or selecting it in Finder and hitting command i (Get Info).
You should have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
You were alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

If you can archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store.

Does the new version of pages for ipad have backwards compatability with previous versions of Pages?

This one question is preventing me from downloading the new version of pages - I am worried I will lose the ability to read documents made with the previous version of pages, or that they will be automatically converted into the new format without my knowing. My laptop does not have Mavericks so I will have to keep using an older version of pages here, but I am reluctant to download the new version to my ipad because of concerns that users have previously voiced about the lack of backwards compatability. Is this still the case, or is there now backwards compatability?

Did we get HyperCard back?
Did we get all the features of AppleWork Back?
Has QuickTime X got back the editability of QuickTime?
Has FileMaker now got all the Bento features?
Has Final Cut been reduced to match iMovie for iOS?
Apple is out to attract iOS users, who mainly do selfies and twitter. They pay better because they are undemanding, don't even notice when Apple offers them something inferior and have been broken in with the iTunes Store harness.

HT203175 After upgrading to version 11.0.4.4 I get a "Itunes has stopped working" message when I try to start a movie on my PC. I have updated Quick time and previous version of Itunes worked great.

One thing is for sure, and that is if the only page i visit is the Google homepage (not logged in) or this site (mozilla forum), the problem does not occur, ever. I can't make it happen.
If i visit yahoo.com (not logged in) (or ighome.com, logged in), as examples, it happens every time.

Report that display 'Net Pay' by Empl for current and previous period.

Hi,
We are looking for a SAP report that display 'Net Pay' by Employee for current and previous period in USA payroll module. If you know of any, pl let me know.
Thanks in advance,
Niranjan

Thanks Archana and Sikindar.
We knew about this report, however, it gives information one below the other if we run, say for 2 periods, but what we are looking for is something as shown in example below
Empl #      Empl # Name    Prev Pay period Net Pay        Current Pay period net pay.
123              XYZ                     $ 1200.00                                 $ 1200.00
256              ABC                    $ 2000.00                                $ 3000.00
We want to run for 2 periods at a time and get the results as above. That way, payroll dept can run this report and compare if we are paying too much in current pay, compared to previous pay. This is basically to avoid any typos when they create new pay records in infotype 0008.

Difference between SAP-CRM 2007 UI and previous version UI.

hi,
anyone knows the differences difference between SAP-CRM 2007 UI and previous version UI.
anykind of links or files are helpful.
regards.
raman.

Hi,
actually quite a late response and I think all the rather technically focuses comments have already been given, incl. the link to a really good slide deck, that explains all the technical architecture details on what exactly we did.
From an end user perspective some other statements on what we did:
(1) From an information architecture and visualization perspective we acted based on feedback from our customers in the last years, which led to some restructuring of the screen, e.g. moving the navigation bar from the top area of the screen (horizontal) to the left hand side --> sounds simple but users tend to have problem seeing thing at the top of the screen. We also decided to arrange the information for e.g. an account or an opportunity not in a tab oriented format. Again usability tests in CRM had shown that users often find it hard to see and understand that tabs contain additional information. We now show the details in assignment blocks below the header information in a scrollable format. Vertical scrolling is a behavior of a screen that most users know from their internet experience. Those are just two exampels of what we did in this area
(2) We also have put a large focus on well known web behaviors, like drag & drop and personalization in general, knowing that on the one hand side, no matter what standard UI we deliver, users tend to adapt it exactly based on their needs and wishes. So you will find really easy to understand personalization options everywhere in the new CRM Web Client UI. To achieve this we used lots of web 2.0 techologies that enable especially these easy interactive capabilitites.
(3) Finally, and this relates directly to the arguments mentioned in (2) we focused as well on really easy UI configuration. Again, in every customer project user interface changes are made, to adapt the SAP default to the customers needs. here we invested a lot to make the 60-80% most common UI changes done in projects as easy as possible, that even non-technical people can generally do it (like Power users).
Hope this clarifies some arguments what from the users point of view has been done and what the advantages are.
When you follow the same link as mentioned by Nadine above, you can also find a presentation UI Concept, which explains all the details rather from a users perspective.
Best regards and enjoy the new UI ..and every feedback is very much welcome, only with your feedback we can improve the solution even more.

Difference between FCE 3.5 and previous version

I was considering upgrading to FCE 3.5 from FCE 3.1. I don't have an Intel-mac and was wondering if there was much of a change in features between the new and previous version that warrants the purchase.
As best I can tell, the difference seems to be more LiveType fonts/templates. But are there new features in FCE 3.5, beyond that? Marketing docs and chats with Genius Bar folks isn't clearing it up. For instance, the box says RT rendering but didn't the past version FCE HD 3 have that?
I'm defiitely biased to buy, but don't want to buy a version because it's just univeral, when i'm not running a non-Intel mac. Is there a grid somewhere that charts the differences between the two version.

Tom, could you clarify something about the new RT playback?
With 3.0 you have to stop and change the picture quality from one of three presets - High, Medium and Low. (On the Low setting more effects can be played back instantly).
Does the Dynamic RT just automatically jump around these three settings (choosing the best one) or is there an infinitely variable transition between the High and Low settings?
Furthermore, can it choose a setting lower than the Low one (in 3.0) in order to show more effects instantaneously?
In short, if I updated, would I be able to get more effects playing back than I can on my present equipment when it is in the Low setting? Or does Dynamic RT just switch automatically through the same 3 settings but give no extra playback performance?
Ian.
PS. Sorry for being so long-winded!

My Mac OS X version is 10.6.8. I'd like to download Pages, but my computer cannot support its latest version. As I don't intend to upgrade my computer anytime soon, is it possible to buy an older (and compatible) version of Pages anywhere?

Holvi,
You will probably be able to find the iWork'09 DVD at Amazon or similar online vendor. Install from the DVD and immediately run Software Update to get to the latest version.
The Terms of Use here dictate that we test our suggestions before posting, but obviously I'm not going to try this myself, so there's an element of risk, but it seems your only option. It has worked for users in the past, but you never know how OS upgrades can change such things. If you go this route, please post back with your results.
Good luck,
Jerry

If you have any date value example posting date or 0CALMONTH.., you can filter the date using the selection conditions and selectively delete the data.
Process:
Manage of DSO->Contents Tab->Selective (with delete Icon)->Deletion selections->give the period->Execute->Start->Yes->continue.
Hope this helps..........

TTF and OTF versions of SourceSansPro are differently displayed in Swing (Nimbus L&F)

Can you confirm this?
I am using Java SE 7 U 25 on Windows 7 Pro 64bit
When I switch between the otf and the ttf version of the same font (Source Sand Pro by Adobe) then I see some differences (see the space above the "O")
But why? Is this a bug? My Java app uses the Swing L&F Nimbus
https://github.com/adobe/source-sans-pro/issues/32
java - TTF and OTF versions of SourceSansPro are differently displayed in Swing (Nimbus L&amp;F) - Stack Overflow

I know. But I have tried it also with another font - same problem
Take a look at https://github.com/adobe/source-sans-pro/issues/32#issuecomment-23402790
There is indeed a bug with the display of ttf/otf fonts in Java / Swing

Where is the download link for premiere elements 10 and previous versions?

Where is the download link for premiere elements 10 and previous versions?
Also the search program doesn't find previous version downloads.
Chat is completely busy and won't let me in.
And I am not paying $39 for what is an Adobe issue.
FAIL!
Anyone know where I might find it?

What I've always found strange though is that the downloads themselves come from Adobe's servers. Just seems weird that Adobe themselves won't provide the links!
