  • Does pages have an equivalent for Word's option of viewing a document in "online layout"?

    Does pages have an equivalent for Word's option of viewing a document in "online layout"?

    With online layout you can have the page of your document fill up as much of the screen as you want while being able to zoom the viewing of your text or words to any percentage you want. In pages, I can zoom or stretch the document to fit the full width of the screen, but the view the actual text or words themselves correspondingly enlarges as well.

  • I am a writer who recently moved from the PC world and purchased a MacBook Air. I love the Air. However, I use MS Word extensively. I am use to the extensive grammar settings in Word. Does Pages have anything that robust? I can't find it. Thanks.

    Does Pages have the robust grammar settings that MS Word has? I can't find them. Word identifies run-on sentences, possessives and plurals, subject-verb disagreement, passive voice, split infinitives, contractions, excessively wordy sentences, etc. Does Pages have those capablities? If not and I buy MS Word for mac, does it perform well on the Mac?

    If you would like to check out what sorts of issues people have with MS Word for Mac, you can have a look a the forum run by MS for that:

  • Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in?

    Safari 5.1.5 shows .pdf web pages as black. The same thing happens with Firefox, at least with the few pages I've checked. Does this have something to do with an AdobePDF plug-in? I recently had to restore my system from Time Machine backup.

    The following appears to have I solved my problem with Safari 5.1.5, 5.1.6 and 5.1.7. I also have Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 installed.
    Follow mbuffy's post dated May 10, 2012 directly above, and
    Do NOT allow Adobe Acrobat Pro 9 to perform the "repair" the missing Adobe PDFViewer Plug-in when the window pops up and offers to repair Adobe PDFViewer Safari Plug-in. If Adobe does the "repair," then I can not view .pdf web pages in Safari or Firefox.
    FYI, cmmartin0275 posted the following on Sep 8, 2011 in a discussion of "Missing PDF Pluggin" at https://discussions.apple.com/message/16119130#16119130:
    "Just FYI to anyone with this problem...this is straight from Adobe's website.
    "Adobe Reader plug-in and Acrobat plug-in are not compatible with the Safari 5.1 browser, which will ship with Mac OS X 10.7 and for 10.6 in July. Adobe Reader and Acrobat will continue to work as standalone applications on Mac OS X 10.7 and 10.6, and will render PDF documents outside of the browser. In addition, Safari 5.1 renders PDF documents natively. However, the Adobe Reader and Acrobat plug-ins will not function as expected in LiveCycle and Acrobat workflows that require either plug-in to render PDF documents in Safari 5.1."
    They also go on to say they hope to have a solution or work around before the end of 2011..."
    Thanks for the help.

  • Will Mackeeper keep my computer running good or does apple have something better

    Will Mackeeper keep my computer running good or does apple have something better

    How to maintain a Mac
    1. Make redundant backups, keeping at least one off site at all times. One backup is not enough. Don’t back up your backups; make them independent of each other. Don’t rely completely on any single backup method, such as Time Machine. If you get an indication that a backup has failed, don't ignore it.
    2. Keep your software up to date. In the Software Update preference pane, you can configure automatic notifications of updates to OS X and other Mac App Store products. Some third-party applications from other sources have a similar feature, if you don’t mind letting them phone home. Otherwise you have to check yourself on a regular basis. This is especially important for complex software that modifies the operating system, such as device drivers. Before installing any Apple update, you must check that all such modifications that you use are compatible.
    3. Don't install crapware, such as “themes,” "haxies," “add-ons,” “toolbars,” “enhancers," “optimizers,” “accelerators,” "boosters," “extenders,” “cleaners,” "doctors," "tune-ups," “defragmenters,” “firewalls,” "barriers," “guardians,” “defenders,” “protectors,” most “plugins,” commercial "virus scanners,” "disk tools," or "utilities." With very few exceptions, this stuff is useless, or worse than useless. Above all, avoid any software that purports to change the look and feel of the user interface.
    The more actively promoted the product, the more likely it is to be garbage. The most extreme example is the “MacKeeper” scam.
    As a rule, the only software you should install is that which directly enables you to do the things you use a computer for — such as creating, communicating, and playing — and does not modify the way other software works. Use your computer; don't fuss with it.
    Safari extensions, and perhaps the equivalent for other web browsers, are a partial exception to the above rule. Most are safe, and they're easy to get rid of if they don't work. Some may cause the browser to crash or otherwise malfunction. Use with caution.
    Never install any third-party software unless you know how to uninstall it. Otherwise you may create problems that are very hard to solve.
    4. Beware of trojans. A trojan is malicious software (“malware”) that the user is duped into installing voluntarily. Such attacks were rare on the Mac platform until sometime in 2011, but are now increasingly common, and increasingly dangerous.
    There is some built-in protection against downloading malware, but you can’t rely on it — the attackers are always at least one day ahead of the defense. You can’t rely on third-party protection either. What you can rely on is common-sense awareness — not paranoia, which only makes you more vulnerable.
    Never install software from an untrustworthy or unknown source. If in doubt, do some research. Any website that prompts you to install a “codec” or “plugin” that comes from the same site, or an unknown site, is untrustworthy. Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be acquired directly from the developer. No intermediary is acceptable, and don’t trust links unless you know how to parse them. Any file that is automatically downloaded from a web page without your having requested it should go straight into the Trash. A website that claims you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, is rogue.
    In OS X 10.7.5 or later, downloaded applications and Installer packages that have not been digitally signed by a developer registered with Apple are blocked from loading by default. The block can be overridden, but think carefully before you do so.
    Because of recurring security issues in Java, it’s best to disable it in your web browsers, if it’s installed. Few websites have Java content nowadays, so you won’t be missing much. This action is mandatory if you’re running any version of OS X older than 10.6.8 with the latest Java update. Note: Java has nothing to do with JavaScript, despite the similar names. Don't install Java unless you're sure you need it. Most people don't.
    5. Don't fill up your boot volume. A common mistake is adding more and more large files to your home folder until you start to get warnings that you're out of space, which may be followed in short order by a boot failure. This is more prone to happen on the newer Macs that come with an internal SSD instead of the traditional hard drive. The drive can be very nearly full before you become aware of the problem. While it's not true that you should or must keep any particular percentage of space free, you should monitor your storage consumption and make sure you're not in immediate danger of using it up. According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of free space on the startup volume for normal operation.
    If storage space is running low, use a tool such as the free application OmniDiskSweeper to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the most space. Move rarely-used large files to secondary storage.
    6. Relax, don’t do it. Besides the above, no routine maintenance is necessary or beneficial for the vast majority of users; specifically not “cleaning caches,” “zapping the PRAM,” "resetting the SMC," “rebuilding the directory,” "defragmenting the drive," “running periodic scripts,” “dumping logs,” "deleting temp files," “scanning for viruses,” "purging memory," "checking for bad blocks," "testing the hardware," or “repairing permissions.” Such measures are either completely pointless or are useful only for solving problems, not for prevention.
    The very height of futility is running an expensive third-party application called “Disk Warrior” when nothing is wrong, or even when something is wrong and you have backups, which you must have. Disk Warrior is a data-salvage tool, not a maintenance tool, and you will never need it if your backups are adequate. Don’t waste money on it or anything like it.

  • Does pages have a template for a calendar?

    Does pages have a template for a calendar? I am the editor of a church newsletter and I want to include a calendar of events.

    I've just tested those Word calendars.
    Because Word actually has a calendar format built-in, most of those templates will not open cleanly in Pages.
    You can use some of the tabbed text, after you copy it out of the tables and reformat it into a new table in Pages but there will be extra steps involved.

  • Does Pages have any clip art?

    I am trying out Pages after having used Word for last five years or so, but I am finding it very frustrating when it comes to clip art.
    Does Pages come with any clip art? Is there any clip art out there especially for Pages?
    Word has a lot of clip art and a very useful web page that works very smoothly with the Clip Art Gallery; Does Pages have anything similar?
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Muz

    Muz- I understand your approach. If you have access to both Word and Pages, maybe you could use the occasional Word clipart as an image inside Pages. I find Pages far simpler than Word when it comes to interating images into a body of text.
    Hybrid solutions are no good, though. From within Pages, you can click "Pages, Provide pages Feedback" and request clipart in a future version. Good luck.

  • I have an ipod nano 7th generation and can not get it recognised by my Windows 8.1 laptop (it appears briefly on My computer, then disappears). This happened after I updated iTunes to the latest version. Does that have something to do with it?

  • HT4641 Does pages have a document password protection function

    Does pages have a password protection function since adobe PDF for IPhone3gs or IPad2 does not?

    If you were to think laterally about this, you could also create encrypted archives for just those folders or files you were interested in to minimise the possible harm. Similar to the disk images Magnus suggested, but slightly less trouble. Modern Macs are very fast at unarchiving these files so you can work on them then archive them again without too much trouble.
    I am a great fan of those tiny USB harddrives and thumbdrives, which easily slip into your pocket so you can take them with you.
    My backup consists of a set of three 4Gb USB thumbdrives for my documents and 3 differently colored USB harddrives for my larger material.
    If your work is on these, you simply detach them from your computer and keep them locked up or on your person.
    Nobody will be able to access those without bailing you up.
    … And of course you can use a combination of any and all of the above suggestions.

  • HT6114 after i migrate my pictures and music from my PC to my Macbook Air, how do i access that info? does it have something to do with changing the user?

    I wirelessly migrated successfully my pictures and music via Wi-Fi from my PC laptop to my new Macbook Air but I don't now how to access that info. The space was used up on my Mac Air, but can't find music or pictures. Does it have something to do with changing user and if so what do I do when I change it. I think I got that far but got stuck.

  • Does Keynote have an equivalent 'viewer' like  Powerpoint viewer?

    Does Keynote have an equivalent 'viewer' like  Powerpoint viewer?  How can I share my Keynote files with other non-Keynote folks?

    As of July 31, 2012, you will no longer be able to access your documents on the iWork.com site or view them on the web.
    Now use iCloud instead: http://www.apple.com/icloud/
    However, you must have an Apple device to create an iCloud account so Windows only users need to get to one before accessing your files.
    About iCloud Control Panel for Windows v1.1
    The iCloud Control Panel is required to use Photo Stream, Mail, Contacts and Calendars (Microsoft Outlook 2007 or later required) and Bookmarks (Safari 5.1.1 or Internet Explorer 8 or later required).
    Note: To create an iCloud account you need an iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with iOS 5, or a Mac with OS X Lion v10.7.2 or later.
    System Requirements 
    Microsoft Windows Windows Vista SP2 or Windows 7
    Safari 5.1.1 or Internet Explorer 8 or later
    Microsoft Outlook 2007 or 2010 recommended
    Broadband Internet access
    Plus the above Note to create an iCloud account before access the site.

  • Does pages have a Romanian language corrector?

    does pages have a Romanian language corrector?

    Spellcheck is done by the OS and not by the app.  OS X has no spellcheck for Romanian, but you might be able to add it.  See

  • Does Pages have a mirror margin option in formatting?

    Does Pages have the formatting option called Mirror Margin?

    We have no idea because we don't know what version of Pages you are using.
    In Pages '08/'09 Inspector > Document > Document > Document Margin > check Facing Pages and adjust the inside/ouside margins
    In Pages 5, no because Apple has removed this along with 100 other features.
