Deleting an item deletes entire page in Pages Document

I have a 2 page brochure I am working on. It contains several shapes, pictures, and text areas. There is a shape on the first page that I want to remove. When I select it and press the delete key the selected shape along with the entire second page of the document are deleted. How can I remove just the shape? I don't want to have to start the second page over from scratch.

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Is this shape an inline object or floating? It sounds like it might be inline & removing it reduces the contents of the document to one page. If your other objects are floating, they're still there, but you won't see them until there is a second page. Put your cursor at the bottom/end of the first page & insert a page break from the insert menu.
My other thought is that you are selecting the shape on the thumbnail view & deleting. That would delete the whole page & its contents.

One of the pages I am working on is blocked and I cannot delete/change items displayed there

One of the pages I am working on is blocked and I cannot delete/change items displayed there. I have unlocked all the layers but still cannot access the content on that page. Thoughts?

I'm using version 9.2.1. on a mac
I'm helping edit some maps for the company I work for. The pages are regular A3
The map part is not blocked, but the second page with the descriptions/text will not let me make any changes to it. I cannot select anything on the page including the images.
I am trying to edit the text provided and rearrange the page layout accordingly.
I thought this was a "layer" problem, but this does not seem to be the case.

While browsing eBay, when I watch or bid on an item, and later view it again, many inches of white space appears before item appears. If I delete the clear recent history box, the pages will come up as they should for several times, then go back to a lot of extra white space. How can I prevent this? Thank you, Rick in English

As stated in 1.:
1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem.
Obviously, it will not harm your computer provided you follow the instructions. However, if you don't post your results in the thread where you were given those instructions, then the person helping you cannot help you further. As he asks at the end, "please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created."

Deleting Text Box, but not text, in Pages '09

I use Readiris to scan documents, which then open in Word. All text is placed in text boxes (sometimes line by line). When I import the Word docs into Pages, I have literally hundreds of text boxes, when really all I want is to work with the text. Is there a way to delete the text boxes without deleting the text in them?

Deleted the region on oracle 10g portal page

deleted the region on oracel 10g portal page . now i cannot access all the links on that region. is there any way i can get back those links and the region. Any idea where it will be stored(tables , database)
Thanks

What do you mean by links? URL items? PAge link items? Other kinds of items?
If you delete a region, you delete the item content it contains, which is why you're asked "are you sure?" and are prompted to move content from the region you are about to delete (assuming your page layout allows it).
If you need to recover those items, you'll need to go to your portal backup. (Yes, the lack of easy logical restores in Portal is a huge pain)
and if you deleted the region that contained themthen those items are gone.
At this point, you'd have to retrieve it from database backups (depending on what the items were, you could use wwsbr_all_items or wwv_things).
Here's hoping those items are easy enough to recreate.

How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents.

How do I use icloud to restore my documents that were in Pages? Pages got stuck in "waiting" to update and when nothing else worked I deleted it and reloaded Pages. Everything I can find is about wiping everything out and restoring everything. I don't want to restore everything just my Pages documents (and numbers and keynote that also locked up during updating).

What I meant is turn off Documents and Data in iCloud in OS X. Keep it on on your iOS devices. iCloud will sync documents between the iOS devices and make them available on the iCloud web site, but it won't mess up iWorks' open and save dialog boxes. It also won't assume that you want all your documents in iCloud, which I think is undesirable anyway.
Keep iOS and OS X separate, and use the web site to move files between the two as necessary.
iOS iWork is different from OS X iWork. There are fewer fonts on an iOS device. iOS iWork programs have slightly different feature sets than OS X iWork programs, and the file formats are different. iCloud automatically converts the file format when necessary, but if you make a habit of saving things directly to iCloud, you are limited to the lowest common denominator between the two versions of iWorks. So why would anyone want iWork on the Mac to open and save documents on iCloud by default?
If you want to store files in the cloud and sync them on your Macs, SugarSync is a much better solution. It lets you choose your sync folders, it doesn't make you reorganize your files, it lets you sync all file types, it doesn't convert files to a different format and back, and it stores everything in the cloud, too. Just the simle act of saving a file backs it up and syncs it. I wouldn't live without it. iCloud is best with iTunes purchases and synchronizing Mac settings and iOS files; I woudln't live without it. The two make an unbeatable combination.

Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. The door to the user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.

You don't want to delete that date as it will affect RSS feeds, etc. However you can hide the date. See this topic: How to make the 'date' disappear on the...: Apple Support Communities

Thanks Peter,
Yes, I just wanted to tell Jerrold that I tried his suggestion and it worked. I tried many times until I came across his suggestion. As far, as my comment about the points, I thought there was a way to rate the responses and the person providing the response would receive some points from Apple. (See the Legend banner above discussing points). If I am correct in this assessment, I just wanted to ensure he got credit for solving my problem.
Have a great day! Thanks for responding!

Lora,
I appreciate the feedback. The Points issues aside, if you had posed your question in a new thread, your use of the Solved tag would alert others searching the Discussions that you had a positive result. This thread, Marilyn not having marked it, doesn't stand out as a solved one. Maybe Marilyn is satisfied, and maybe not. It would be nice to know.

I can't delete a page in Pages. In Thumbnail is grouping pages together and won't let me delete it from the group

How can I "de-group" pages in Pages. I want to delete a blank page, and it refuses to let me.

This answer applies to Pages 4/iWork '09 or earlier. I don't use Pages 5 often enough to understand how it handles pages in the sidebar in 5.2.
Pages doesn't "see" a page as you & I do. Pages sees logical pages, separated by section breaks, rather than physical pages. You can see this by showing thumbnails, View > Show Page Thumbnails, & then clicking on a page thumbnail. The yellow border around groups of pages shows the logical page. You need to insert section breaks before & after the physical pages to separate them.

How do I delete a blank page and rearrange pages in Pages 5.0?

Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5, after Exporting your files to Pages '09, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Can't delete the second page in Pages.

I am designing a newsletter and didn't notice I went past the bottom margin with some of my content creating a second page. Now I can't get rid of the second page! I tried back spacing (deleting) from the top of the second page and that isn't working. I tried pulling up the side menu that shows each individual page and tried to delete from there but pages is keeping them as a group. I am pulling my hair out as I can't put my newsletter to print until I get rid of that page. Please help.

Maybe you could changing the bottom margin or the footer on your first page. Get rid of the footer if you don't need it and set a small bottom margin and see if that has an effect. Is there anything on the second page?

Delete 1 blank page in Pages

Howdy
I want to delete a page in Pages. It seems to be very difficult to do.
I have reviewed a lot of the prior posts, and cannot believe that you can't just click on the page that you want to go away, and watch it disappear.
What I had was a single page, with writing on it. I got to the thumb nail part where I clicked on the dropbox that asked if I wanted to clear all of the contents and just leave an empty page. I clicked yes, the contents disappeared. Now I have a blank page that I want to remove from My Templates.
When I click on the blank page, I get the same message about clearing all of the contents and leaving the empty page. I tried that a couple of times, nothing changed.
So I closed out the page, and got a box asking me if I wanted to save the changes. Clicked on that, still got the blank page in My Templates.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Thank you
rlmslo

I am not quite sure what you want. Do you want to delete a custom made template from the " My template " folder?
Or do you want to delete a blank page of a Pages document?
The procedure you performed only empties the page. The empty document is still open. If you don't want the document close it, find it in the Finder and throw it in the Bin/Trash.
If you have opened a copy of a template the template will still exist in the My template folder.
Which system do you have on your computer?

Is there a way to delete mail listing associated with a Wiki page?

There seems to be no way to delete mailed in entries to a wiki page. In other words when I e-mail to a wiki mail list such as [email protected], the resulting entry can't be deleted. Is there a way to do this?

You can do it if you know your way around the command line. Here's a quick article on it:
