File-sharing issues with Pages

Hi, I have 2 recent problems with Pages.
1) Gmail does not accept Pages documents as attachment. It gives an error message when tried.
2) A file synch. program that I use (SugarSync) is not able to synch files between devices; the copy that is stored in de cloud of this service can not be opened with Pages when downloaded back to the local Mac from which it originated.
Any idea what might be the issue?
Thanks, Chris

You must realize that by default, Pages v5(.2) documents are directories. Only the Apple Finder makes them look like documents — elsewhere they will appear as directories. Pages will bork if you tell it to save or open from a remote, non-HFS+ filesystem, because there, a directory is not a document.
You cannot mail a directory, but if you zip it first, it looks like a single file, which Gmail accepts as an attachment. Same is true for non-Apple filesystems such as Dropbox, SugarSync, etc.
Right-click on the Pages document, and from the contextual menu, select compress. You will now have filename.pages.zip. To unzip it on a Mac, double-click it.

  • Lion server file sharing issue with windows API read/write ini file (GetPrivateProfileString)

    Hello,
    I try to config lion server as file server for a windows application we use at work. All other computers are windows 7 or XP, lion server is the only mac. I choose lion server because it's size, quality and personal love of apple products.
    10.7.2 lion server's samba file sharing works almost perfectly with all my windows machines, I can copy, delete, modify any text files or office files without any issue, but the most important windows application for my business doesn't work with samba file sharing. After some digging, I found it is because windows program can't read or write INI file stored on lion share. Windows API GetPrivateProfileString always returns empty if the INI file is store on lion share.
    You can download a small application for read/write windows INI file from codeproject.com to test this problem:
    http://www.codeproject.com/KB/files/ini.aspx
    I can open/edit the in file using any text editor without any problem. The only problem is with those windows APIs. ACL is turned on for my lion share and assigned "delete" rights to samba users.
    I install samba3 on the same server; it works perfectly with windows API. My windows program also works. Looks like there is something wrong with lion server's sambax.
    I'd prefer to use built-in samba even I have samba3 working. Built-in samba is very immature right now, but considered how young it is, I will give apple some time to make it mature.
    Does anyone have same issue or knows how to fix it?
    Thanks,
    Michael.

    All the memory is fine. The server rarely if ever goes down when there are only around 10-12 users connected. When there are 20+ users connected and working heavily it goes down often. When I say working heavily, I mean they are transferring huge files to the SAN (100GB+), sometimes 5 at a time per user, and there are a bunch of others who are reading large video files at a minimum of 220MB/sec from the SAN.
    Though this worked on Snow Leopard without any issues, Lion just doesn't seem to be able to handle it. The odd thing is, on Snow Leopard there was only a single 1GB ethernet connection to a NAS system, whereas with Lion we have a much more powerful machine with a 6-port 10GB ethernet card and a 4 lane 8GB fiber card to a true SAN. You would think that the newer scenario with Lion would handle far more users with ease.
    So far, very disappointing with regards to Lion's file serving performance.

  • File sharing issue with Leopard and Windows XP

    I had no problem with file sharing (see the Windows machine on Leopard) before I reinstall the XP and update to SP3.
    Now I cannot get the XP shared disk displayed on Leopard Finder. I looked through some guides and check these:
    Both the two laptops are in the same workgroup called "WORKGROUP";
    XP firewall disabled;
    XP Guest Account enabled.
    But I just cannot get the Windows icon back to the left column of my Finder. Have I missed something? Any body with any ideas? Thanks in advance.

    Same problem but almost the reverse. 10.5.2 server, windows clients file browsing, opening and saving speed is great, but our 4 iMac clients (Leopard also) really, really slow to generate thumbnail views of files and open them. Happens across several shares, seems to be a problem with AFP, although now after disabling AFP on some of the shares, it is happening on SMB as well. I have read several other discussions on this forum that attempt to deal with AFP performance issues, but none provide a real solution. Now that it is also happening with the SMB protocol as well I am getting a bit concerned.
    Any advice or even a link to more info would be greatly appreciated.

  • New to Mac - File sharing issue with windows PC?

    Good day
    I have a win7 pc with all my movies storred on.  I shared the folder on the network, and can access the folder from my windows pc and my MacMini.
    The problem is that my MacMini does not pic up all the files/folders on the shared folder.  I would guess it only picks up about 80% of the files/folders.  When I connect to the shared folder from the windows 7 pc it picks up everything.
    More info:
    Win7 Home (all updates done)
    3tb drive (not sure what you call it, but it was formated with NTFS guid table)
    Full read Write share enabled to everyone
    MacMini Latest hardware and OSX.
    Shared folder shows in shared part of finder.
    Already did a restart of both PC and Mac
    Already did a clean-up on mac.
    The mac connects via wi-fi and win pc via ethernet
    Please help me on what more I can try

    I've seen this a long time ago, seems SMB on the Mac was limited to the number of listings, if you Share an inner folder, does OSX show more files in that folder?
    No idea if this works in 10.8, but will mention it...
    SMBUp
    Did you lose your shared folders with the update of Mac OS X from Snow Leopard to Lion? You can’t see your shared folders from your DVR or Medicaneter boxes hooked up to your TV? The internet tells you to install gigabytes of developer tools and use tons of command-line instructions to regain the ability to see your mac from your other devices in the house after moving to Lion? We might be able to help.

  • File sharing issue with Itunes

    I have a couples of apps from which I can added documents in the file sharing section under the apps tab (in Itunes). After 5 click on any apps in this section, no other files will appear in any of my apps (ex. cloudreaders, Readdledocs, etc..). I'm forced to shut down Itunes and start over.
    I updated my Itunes for the last 9.2 (x64, windows version) and I still have the same problem. Please I need advice on hoe to fix this.

    Same problem too. I've been scouring the web for days trying to find more info on this. I can't determine if it started when I upgraded to iTunes 10 or iOS 4 ... But I know it was one of those! All the apps I installed that utilize the file sharing feature exhibit the described behavior ... Stanza, Goodreader, PDF Reader, etc. Does anyone know if Apple is aware??
    I've been dragging and dropping and that seems to help, so far.

  • Windows file sharing issues with Leopard

    One of my clients has a Mac Mini server running Leopard with all updates installed. He has 2 Windows PCs in his office (1 XP and 1 Vista) and 1 MacBook Air running Leopard.
    I created two folders in /Users/Shared and created a new full (standard) user account (SMB doesn't seem to like "share only" accounts). I turned off the OS X Firewall and set the two folders to be read/write shares for the new account I created. I turned on SMB sharing in Options.
    On the Windows XP machine, I can read/write to the Mac Mini's shared folders just fine, however I cannot delete files for some reason. I always get an error saying the file is locked or I don't have permission to erase it. I tried moving the share folder to different locations, thinking it was a parent folder permission issue. No dice. It doesn't seem to matter who creates the file, I cannot delete it from the Windows computer. I can delete it fine from any Mac in the office.
    Any ideas?

    The default behavior for the /Users/Shared folder is that you can only delete files you put in the Shared folder - this is called the "sticky bit." ie: User A saves/moves a file into Shared, User B can read/write that file but cannot delete it, User A can read/write and delete. The sticky bit can be set via Terminal.

  • File sharing problems with my Media Player, an A C Ryan

    I have a media player, an A C Ryan, hooked up to my wifi at home and it normally accesses all my hard disks that is plugged and shared on my iMac. I had no problems when the iMac was on Snow Leopard. Under Network/Workgroup in the AC Ryan's menu, I can see and access all the files on the hard disks.
    The moment I upgraded to Lion, all such access was lost. The AC Ryan cannot connect to the hard disks any more via the wifi network. it's as though file sharing has stopped completely. I checked the file sharing settings on the iMac and nothing has changed i.e. the disks were shared as usual. After struggling with many possible solutions and failing (I checked out a lot of forums), I reintalled Snow Leopard and the problems were immediately solved.
    Is there something seriously wrong with Lion's file-sharing? Has this been fixed in 10.7.2? My friend who has a similar setup (his media player is the WD Live) has exactly the same file sharing problem with Lion.
    I would appreciate any feedback. Thanks!

    I believe that NTFS-3G has issues with Lion.
    I use Paragon NTFS and have had no issues at all. I am pretty sure that NTFS-3G will get updated, but you need to check their site to find out when.

    In the template I group the data based on CLASSIFICATION and then sort on the same column CLASSIFICATION. I have a page-break applied for every group.
    When I generate the PDF, I am not getting the page-breaks for every group. Instead some of them are displayed in the same page.
    But when I remove the sorting that I had in the template on the column CLASSIFICATION, I am getting the output in the desired way but not in a sorted order.

    Hi All,
    I am using MS-WORD 2007 and BI Publisher desktop 10.1.3.3.3.
    When I use split-by-page-break, splitting is performed for every line .. but not for group of lines.
    Can anybody throw some light on this?
    FYI...
    I am using this code:
    ?if: position() mod 6= 0?
    ?split-by-page-break:?
    ?end if?
    (Of course with in tags)
    in G_LINES loop.
    Can anybody help me out :-(

  • Smartform issue with page break

    Hi All,
             I have an unusual issue with page break. Here is my scenario, I have a group of items in my table main area and for each group there is sort of header that prints. Similarly there are multiple groups needing a header whenever there is a new group printing. So far it prints fine. But whenever there is a page break and when items from the same group also print on the next page the same header needs to print on the top of next page similar to how the header area repeats on each page. Unfortunately I did not see any page break event for table main area.
    Here is an alternative I have tried but having issues: I have created two rows for this group header one printing from header and another printing from main area. Whenever there is a page break the same group header prints as part of the header and on the rest of the page it prints from the main area. But in a particular scenario, there is a new group starting at almost bottom of the page but as there is not enough space left on the same page (page protection) jumps to next page. In this case there are two group headers printed one coming from the preivous page main area and another coming from the next page header. I hope my explanation is clear enough to understand.
    Please suggest if there is any basic feature of smartform that I have missed out can solve this issue or if there is another alternative you can think of. I appreciate your responses.
    Thanks..

    I was able to solve this issue on my own.
    Instead of checking for a page break on header line I am using a flag that is prepopulated in the table. I set this flag whenver a new group of items starts. If the flag is set I print it from the main area and if it is not set I print it from the header. This helped in avoiding the multiple header lines..

    THis is safe for Mac's? Sorry, I have just never heard of this site before.
    And there are literally tens of thousands of sites of which I've not heard, too. Not this one.
    It's legit. There are lots of links in Apple Support Communities to the LibreOffice web site, as well as others that are legitimate open-source developers of options to buying MS Office, such as NeoOffice and OpenOffice. I have Open Office installed on one of my older Macs that can't run Office 2011 and it is rock-solid.
    I've been here too long to start posting bogus urls now.

  • File sharing bug with windows in mountain lion

    File Sharing Bug with Windows
    Hi,
    there are some windows in our firm and we're sharing the files using File Sharing. The problem is that the windowses can see the files not only the ones in public folder, but also whole disk, like Desktop, Library etc. When i installed Lion, it was happened again for one time. But then it fixed in a way which i don't know. After Mountain Lion, this problem occurs again.
    So, why can it be happened and how do i fix it? please help me.
    thank you.

  • I am having a file moving issue with Adobe Reader XI

    I am having a file moving issue with Adobe Reader XI on a Windows 7 32bit system. When Adobe reader is set as the default program for PDF files moving files from one directory to another takes over a minute, regardless of the size of the file. When the default handler is set to another program, like Nuance or PDF Creator, this is instant. What in Adobe Reader is causing this and what can I do to speed up file moving? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I am using Windows 7 home edition and using Internet Explorer 10
    The PDF's are online on websites that I am trying to open.  Both on the site as well as trying in a new window.

    Thank you so much for helping,
    But i really wonder how you did that. did you always switch between design view and preview view, then change the key position for 2px then switch back, to align the four letters? because i imagine that can get really frustrating, if you have a logo consisting of 58 parts instead of 4!:)
    Anyway thank you very much for your time and effort!!!!

    Correct.  The Fuji X-100s is not currently supported by iPhoto or Aperture (or the RAW converter in OS X itself).  You can submit feedback via iPhoto and request this.
