Does Pages store cached versions of documents?

My USB just died with my 10-page essay on it. I was working on it with Pages, so does Pages store cached versions of files? I don't have enough time to retype it, so am I screwed?

Their copies are saved in .MobileDocuments. It's hidden. Open Terminal and type:
defaults write com.apple.finder AppleShowAllFiles TRUE
killall Finder
Finally, open Finder, select the USB disk and go to .MobileDocuments

  • How does Pages store images?

    I need to understand how Pages stores images. I recently lost a few iphotos due to a disk problem. When I opened my Pages docs, those particular images were missing from them also (and from my backups). From what I've found on this forum, it seems Pages creates its own copies of the images. Can any one tell me why I lost the ones in my document? How to prevent it?
    Thank you!

    I have no experience of your problem, but the photos are stored in the Pages files. In the Finder, ctrl-click or right-click on the file and choose "Show Package Content". There inside somewhere are the pictures hidden.

  • Does Pages offer Outliner and Master Document features?

    I'm thinking about switching from MS Word to Pages. I write books, and so key features for me are Outliner and Master Document. Does Pages offer these features? If so, can I import my outline into a master document? I would be really grateful for feedback from anyone who has used these features--are they easier to use than the Word equivalents? Are other things possible with these features?
    Many thanks,
    Hilary

    Master documents are not there I'm afraid. Outlines are kind of limited. You cannot collapse a section for example, and I guess that's one of the main things you want to do?

  • Why does pages open a bunch of documents when i open it?

    I open up pages and when I do so the last 3 documents I have been working on all open too.  How do I get this to stop?

    If you close all documents before quitting Numbers or Pages, you won't have them reopening when you launch the app again. If you don't want to have to close everything first try Lion Tweaks or the latest version of TinkerTool. Both have the option to turn off the resume feature for individual applications.

  • Why does Pages delete sections of a document?

    While writing a document, Pages will suddenly delete a section of the document. Anyone else experience this?

    Pages doesn't delete anything. It is probably something you are doing that triggers this behaviour. Which device do you use Pages on? In this forum we mainly try to help those having computers. There is a forum for those using Pages on iPads too.

  • Why does my iPad 1 not open documents in pages from my mac after downloading update on pages on mac?

    Why does my iPad 1 not open documents from my updated mac-pro laptop pages since i updated the mac. Have updated latest pages for iPad 1 it could and still not able to open docs as i could before update on mac-pro

    The most recent version of Pages that you can run on the iPad 1, running iOS 5.1.1, is not compaible with the newest version of pages on the Mac.
    If you had the old version of Pages on your Mac, and off hand I can't remember what version it was, you should still be able to use that version and then it will be compatible with the Pages app on the iPad. I updated to the newest version of Pages some time back but was able to keep the older version as well.

    Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

    Try this:
    Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
    Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

  • The document "PP_CS_Higher Education_USA_V1" is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage.

    The document “PP_CS_Higher Education_USA_V1” is on a volume that does not support permanent version storage. Not sure what this means exactly.
    Any thoughts out there?

    This error is is usually encountered when trying to update a file that has been opened from a CD or DVD disc.
    Move the file to the desktop before you open it.
    Where is this file stored, a CD or DVD, external  hard drive, USB memory ?

  • Firefox pulls up a cached version of my homepage (a cyclone warning/tracking page) showing me old information. Now I have surprise damage from a storm I should have known about, how do I get it to not cache this page?

    I set my homepage to the Navy Research Labs tropical cyclone warning page so I can be sure to see developing storms every time I start my browser, but now it simply caches a version of the page. The cached page that shows old information, defeating my purpose. How can I get firefox not to display a the cached version of this page by default? (Yes, obviously I already know I can refresh the page each time. That is NOT my question)

    If you leave tabs open to have them displayed automatically on the next start then you need to clear the browser cache when you close Firefox to prevent showing a cached version.
    *Tools > Options > Privacy : History: [X] Clear history when Firefox closes > Settings

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Does pages have a search feature on documents

    Does pages offer a search feature for documents.  If I have a document and want to search for a specific word or phrase how can this be done?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    Try a Spotlight search?
    If you've never used it, Spotlight is the 'sort of magnifying glass' icon at the upper right corner of the top menu bar.
    Click on the Spotlight icon.
    In the box that opens, type in your search term(s), a space, and .pages, and click on Show All
    Spotlight will open a Finder window.
    You can refine your search results including where to search This Mac or "Desktop" for example, and whether searching for Contents (words or strings embedded within documents) or Filename.
    Now you can choose a document from the results displayed.
    Clicking on a filename and pressing the space bar lets you view the document without actually opening the program that created it.
    You can control what kinds of documents are/are not indexed by selecting  from the top menu bar, then System Preferences, Personal, Spotlight.

    I have an error when installing apps on my mac from the apple store. It says "return to the purchase page and try again"... I think it is something to do with the installation process itself. I have tried to clear apple store cache, restarted apple store from debug menu, double checked my apple id account and etc..but doesn't work anyway.

    I'm having the same problem and went as far as to delete and reinstall the AppStore and still no dice.
