Having Trouble With Master Objects

I'm pretty new to iWork, so I apologize for any noobie foolishness.
I am trying to adapt the Business Report template in Pages '09. It uses a default logo graphic, and this graphic is selectable and replaceable.
In the first instance, I selected it and replaced it with my own graphic. However, when creating a new page, Pages continued to reproduce the original placeholder graphic.
So I got smarter, read the User Guide, and inserted a completely new version of my graphic in a different place (i.e., not in the placeholder), and followed the steps to make it a Master Object. BUT, when I created a new page, Pages did not automatically duplicate my new "Master Object", and continued to duplicate the old placeholder graphic in the same spot Apple designated.
So my (at this point) obvious question is: are we actually stuck with only those Master Objects Apple gave us, or is there something I'm not doing that can make a template automatically produce user-defined Master Objects on new pages?
To be fair, I have not tried to create a user-defined template yet, so perhaps my problem is just with the pre-installed ones, but still: I would hope these are easily modifiable.
I'm on a deadline, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

I will walk you through making your own version of the template.
1 Open a new document using the *Business Report template*.
2 Don't change anything yet but open every section from the Sections pull down menu so you have a sequence of pages each with a page of a different section design.
3 Make Master Objects selectable if they are not. Drag your logo to replace every instance of the template's logo and adjust to your liking.
4. +Menu > View > Page Thumbnails+
5. Select first Thumbnail in sidebar +Menu > Format > Advanced > Capture Pages… > Name : Type exactly the same name as the section "Letter" > It will ask you if you want to replace the existing section > Replace+ .
6. Repeat this for each section until you have replaced them all.
7. +Menu > File > Save as Template… > Save with a new name+
8. +Menu > New from Templates > My Templates > Choose your new name template+
You will now have a document that behaves the way you expected it to.
Now:
+Is this obvious?+ No.
+Is this easy?+ No
+Is it quick?+ No
+Is it prone to errors?+ Yes
+Why did Apple do it this way?+ Ask Apple.
Anyway hope this helps.

Having trouble with creating objects from instances created with ClassLoade

Hi.
I'm having a bit of trouble with casting an instance of an object from a custom ClassLoader. Don't worry - the code isn't for anything sinister - it's for one of those life simulation thingies, but I want to make it modular so people can write their own 'viruses' which compete for survival. You know the score.
Anyway. I've got the beginnings of my main class, which seems to load the class data for all 'virus' classes in a folder called 'strains'. There is a abstract class called AbstractVirus which declares the method calls for how the viruses should behave and to get textual descriptions, etc. AbstractVirus is to be subclassed to create working virus classes and these are what my main class is trying to load instances of.
Unfortuantely, I can't cast the instances into AbstractVirus objects. The error I've been getting is 'ClassCastException' which I presume is something to do with the fact that my ClassLoader and the Bootstrap ClassLoader aren't seeing eye-to-eye with the class types. Can anyone help? This line of programming is really new to me.
My code for the main class is below:
/* LifeSim.java */
public class LifeSim {
public LifeSim() {
 /* Get a list of all classes in the 'strains' directory and store non-
 * abstract classes in an array. */
 Class virusClasses[] = null;
 try {
 /* Get a reference to the file folder 'strains' and make sure I can read
 * from it. */
 java.io.File modulesFolder = new java.io.File("strains");
 if (!modulesFolder.isDirectory() || !modulesFolder.canRead()) {
 System.out.println("Failed to find accessible 'strains' folder");
 System.exit(-1);
 /* Get a list of all the class files in the folder. */
 String virusFiles[] = modulesFolder.list(new ClassFileFilter());
 if (virusFiles.length == 0) {
 System.out.println("No virus strains in 'strains' folder");
 System.exit(-1);
 /* Create an array of class objects to store my Virus classes. Ignore the
 * abstract class as I cannot instantiate objects directly from it.*/
 virusClasses = new Class[virusFiles.length];
 VirusClassLoader classLoader = new VirusClassLoader();
 int j = 0;
 for (int i = 0; i < virusFiles.length; i++) {
 String virusName = "strains/" + virusFiles;
 Class tempClass = classLoader.loadClass(virusName);
 if (tempClass.getName().compareToIgnoreCase("strains.AbstractVirus") != 0) {
 virusClasses[j++] = tempClass;
} catch (ClassNotFoundException ncfe) {
System.out.println("Failed to access virus class files.");
ncfe.printStackTrace();
System.exit(-1);
/* TEST CODE: Create an instance of the first virus and print its class
* name and print details taken from methods defined in the AbstractVirus
* class. */
if (virusClasses.length > 0) {
try {
 // Print the class name
 System.out.println(virusClasses[0].getName());
 Object o = virusClasses[0].newInstance();
 strains.AbstractVirus av = (strains.AbstractVirus) o;
 // Print the virus name and it's description
 System.out.println(av.getQualifiedName());
 System.out.println(av.getDescription());
} catch (InstantiationException ie) { ie.printStackTrace(); }
 catch (IllegalAccessException iae) { iae.printStackTrace(); }
public static void main(String args[]) {
new LifeSim();
class ClassFileFilter implements java.io.FilenameFilter {
public boolean accept(java.io.File fileFolder, String fileName) {
if (_fileName.indexOf(".class") > 0) return true;
return false;
class VirusClassLoader extends ClassLoader {
private String legalClassName = null;
public VirusClassLoader() {
super(VirusClassLoader.class.getClassLoader());
public byte[] findClassData(String filename) {
try {
java.io.File sourcefile = new java.io.File(filename);
legalClassName = "strains." + sourcefile.getName().substring(0,sourcefile.getName().indexOf("."));
java.io.FileInputStream fis = new java.io.FileInputStream(sourcefile);
byte classbytes[] = new byte[fis.available()];
fis.read(classbytes);
fis.close();
return classbytes;
} catch (java.io.IOException ioex) {
return null;
public Class findClass(String classname) throws ClassNotFoundException {
byte classbytes[] = findClassData(classname);
if (classbytes == null) throw new ClassNotFoundException();
else {
return defineClass(legalClassName, classbytes, 0, classbytes.length);
Thank you in advance
Morgan

Two things:
I think your custom ClassLoader isn't delegating. In general a ClassLoader should begin by asking it's parent ClassLoader to get a class, and only if the parent loader fails get it itself. AFAIKS you could do what you're trying to do more easilly with URLClassLoader.
Second, beware that a java source file can, and often does, generate more than one class file. Ignore any class files whose names contain a $ character. It's possible you are loading an internal class which doesn't extend your abstract class.

Having trouble with flash and linking to Sliding panels - PLEASE help

Having trouble with Sliding panels and flash. Otherwise everything works fine but when I'm trying to implement the link
<a href="#" onclick="sp1.showPanel('panel1'); return false;">Panel1</a>
to a flash button I get confused. I have tried following
on (press) {
getURL("javascript:sp1.showPanel('panel1');");
and it did not work. What would you suggest? I am desperate. Please help me! Any suggestions are highly appreciated!!!!

Thanks for your answer!
I have tried both sp1.ShowPanel('panel1'); and window.sp1.ShowPanel('panel1'); they both give blank window with [object]
I have found a solution that works in other browsers, but not in IE. Well basicly it works, but after a few clicks IE freezes.
on (press) {
getURL("javascript:sp1.showPanel('panel1'); void(0);");
Would you happen to have a solution other than that? I believe that the void(0); causes the IE to freeze.

Having trouble with email reviews

Hi all, I am testing Acrobat X for my company and I am having trouble with testing for "send for email review/merge comments". In my last test I made a PDF from InDesing as usual and on my "test" Mac using Acrobat X I opened the PDf and sent it to 3 people for email review. One of the people was using a PC and Acrobat 9 Reader, the other two were using Acrobat X to make comments and send back. I should note that I am using one test machine (iMac) for all three of the Mac reviews, but each individual is logging on with their ID for the network and the email program (entourage).
All three reviewers were able to get the PDF in the email, make comments and then use the "send comments" button to send back to me.
My problem is that when I got all three emails back, and when I logged into the test machine as myself, opened the returned PDFs, I was only able to "merge comments" from one reviewer (from Mac) to my original PDF. With the email from the PC and one email from the iMac, I was UNABLE to merge these two sets of comments. The merge comments button was unavailable, I never got the message about if I wanted to "merge comments" or "No, open this copy only." And when I tried to go through "comments>merge comments onto master PDF" I was not able to see that option anywhere, either.
Sorry for the long explanation, but I want to include as much info as possible to try to get the proper feedback from you all.
Thanks in advance for any input you can provide.

Just to be clear here, when you say that " I should note that I am using one test machine (iMac) for all three of the Mac reviews, but each individual is logging on with their ID for the network and the email program (entourage). " you mean that you have created 3 different users on your mac machine and configured entourage for each of them. If not then please explain this.
Have you tried using any of these:
a) 2-3 Mac partitions for the different users
b) 2-3 different mac machines for the same
c) maybe 2-3 Mac Virtual machines on a Mac main machine
If it is possible can you please try that scenario on any of the above mentioned combinations and let us know the results. This will help us a lot in narrowing down the issue.
Thanks,
Abhilasha

Hello Sue,
I have an iPad 3, iPad Mini and iPhone 5S and they are all sluggish on capitalisation using shift keys. I hope that Apple will solve the problem because it is driving me crazy.
I find using a Microsoft Surface and Windows 8 phone, which I also have, work as well as all the ios devices before the ios 7 upgrade.
It has something to do with the length of time that you need to hold the shift key down. The shift key needs to be held longer than the letter key for the capitalisation to work. For some reason, this is a major change in the way we have learnt to touch type on computers. I am having to relearn how to type!

I'm having trouble with something that redirects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC. It's called the 'going on earth' virus. Do you have a fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?

I'm having trouble with a virus or something which affects Google search results when I use Firefox on my PC ...
When I search a topic gives me pages of links as normal, but when I click on a link, the page is hijacked to a site called 'www.goingonearth.com' ...
I've done a separate search and found that other users are affected, but there doesn't seem to be a clear-cut solution ... (Norton, McAfee and Kaspersky don't seem to be able to detect/fix it).
I'd like to continue using the Firefox/Google combination (nb: the hijack virus also affects IE but not Safari) - do you have a patch/fix that could rectify the vulnerability in your software?
thanks

''' "... vulnerability in your software?" '''

I am having trouble with my Mac Mini's ethernet connection. Defining a new network interface shows no ethernet adaptor. Reloading SL from DVD repaired. But SL update lost ethernet again. Will Lion Fix?

I am having trouble with my mac mini ethernet. It had been working for weeks after an update to SL 10.6.8.
Once it went out and i repaired it by defining a new connection from System Preferences ->Network->(left panel service, +).
But yesterday, after a power up. my ethernet was not working again. I tried this old trick to repair it, but the interface choices
listed for '+' a new service did not include Ethernet any more. And the Utilities->System Profiler->Ethernet Cards shows
no ethernet available.
As a last ditch effort i reloaded my original SL from DVD. (I think it was version 10.6.4 but i could be mistaken on the version).
The ethernet worked! But KeyNote wasn't going to work because apparently the version i purchased depends on 10.6.8.
So I upgraded again to SL 10.6.8 (Plus some other updates like AirPort which i don't use).
Now the Ethernet is not working again. I see the same symptoms as before with the Ethernet seeming not installed.
Is this a problem seen by others?
Would going to Lion fix the problem?
Could AirPort actually be the culprit and not SL?
If i stay with my original SL, would i need to repurchase a version of KeyNote for the older version of SL?

Have you reset the SMC?
Shut down the computer.
Unplug the computer's power cord.
Wait fifteen seconds.
Attach the computer's power cord.
Wait five seconds, then press the power button to turn on the computer.
While you're at it, resetting the PRAM won't hurt anything and 'might' help is SMC reset didn't work (PRAM does some port control):
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Something else you might try .... you don't say how you're updating to 10.6.8, however, if you're using Software Update, you might try downloading the 10.6.8 combo update, which contains all updates to 10.6. Sometimes, Software Update doesn't work quite right, and installing the combo update fixes that. Download the update from Apple's download site at http://support.apple.com/downloads/ , using Disk Utility repair permissions, apply the combo update, then repair permissions again.

I am having trouble with some of my links having images. For example, Foxfire has a picture that looks like a small world. The links in question are blank.

I am having trouble with my links/websites having images attached to them. The place where the image should be is blank. For example, AARP has an A for its image. My storage website has a blank broken box where the image should be. I forgot I had trouble and had to reset Foxfire, this problem occurred after that reset.

cor-el,
Mixed content normally gives the world globe image, unless you are using a theme that uses a broken padlock instead. Maybe the gray triangle means invalid? I came across that in a few themes (what is invalid was not made clear), but those were not using triangle shapes to indicate that.
I came across that mention in one of the pages you posted:
* https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Site+Identity+Button
I cannot attach a screenshot because I have not seen a triangle of any kind in my address bar.

I have an Ipod Touch (4th Gen) and I am having troubles with my downloads from purchasing music from the Ipod. On my downloads icon in the Itunes Store (on Ipod) there is a symbol of how many songs I still have waiting to download, but they wont download.

I have been having troubles with this for months and am extremly tired of not being able to download my songs. I bought these songs off of Itunes as well, so I really hope i can retrieve them. I do not know where to find a personal apple support person yet, does anyone know where to find one on the website?
