How can I prevent Pages 5.0 from upgrading?

I am very happy with Pages 4.3, but upgraded with 5.0 only to throw it in the bin after I discovered it was not what I wanted. That was great!
But every day since, Apple tells me that Pages 5.0 is ready to upgrade, which I don't want. But I can't get rid of the update reminder from App store and it irritates me to have to tell them to remind me in 24 hours (the longest option), when I DON'T WANT IT AT ALL! Weird, huh?
So, I JUST WANT PAGES 5.0 TO GO AWAY...what do I do?

Salve mende1!
Pages 5.0 installed itself today, without asking first. I could of course do as I have done before, throw it out, but I assume it will be back again, and again, and again, 'til the day I die...
I just have to get on with my life. In some sense, I guess we relinquish some control over our decision-making, when we buy a computer, and like a headache, one cannot wish it weren't so but rather learn to live with the fact that sometimes, one has headaches.
My objection is that Pages 5.0 appears to have given priority to iPad, compatibility, smooth moves, modern looks, etc, whereas my needs were more met by 4.3, where I exercise a greater control over my way of working.
As it is, I have to actively open Pages 4.3 before I open a document, possibly a bit cumbrous and in my view plain silly, since opening a document straight invokes that little devil down in my computer (5.0), and out pops a different document from the one I worked on yesterday...
In sum, I find it a bit arrogant and somewhat disrespectful from Apple but there are worse crimes committed in the world of computers today. At the end of the day, I'd rather be me with my 4.3 issue than Angela Merkel, having someone's ear on my tongue.

  • When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?

    To all,
    After -reluctantly- "upgrading" from Acrobat Pro 7 to Pro X I find this new version absolutely maddening.
    Pro 7's features were easy to find in the tool bar. Now in Pro X everything is "dumbed down" with everything "nested" into each other...
    But I whine and digress from my problem:
    QUESTION:
    When inserting a checkbox, how can I prevent the note box from appearing?
    With every insertion of a checkbox onto a form, a "notebox" appears.
    Thank you,
    Matt

    As you can see, when I add a checkmark to a page/form, a "note" is automatically added also. In my old Acrobat v. 7, this did not happen.
    Any ideas on how I can set Acrobat Pro X to NOT include this note?
    Thank you,
    Matt

  • How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    How can I prevent a PDF file from being copied, printed or downloaded? Students should only be able to view the text and and not distribute it in any way.

    You can prevent it from being printed by applying a security policy to it
    in Acrobat. The rest can't be prevented, unless you spend  a LOT of money
    on DRM protection.

  • If I have multiple email accounts, how can I prevent one of them from sending email?

    If set up multiple email accounts in Thunderbird, how can I prevent one of them from sending email, while allowing others to send?

    Simple answer:
    do not use the email address when sending or replying or forwarding emails. Sending is not automatic, you have to generate the email and click on a Send button.
    You could use an smtp server that will not allow sending using the incorrect server for the email address, so that it cannot send, but if you accidentally use the email address you may get an error message, but at least the email will not be sent. Do this here:
    Tools > Account Settings for the mail account.
    bottom right Outgoing Server - select one that will not accept sending using wrong email address
    OR
    in Outgoing Server(SMTP) select the server you are using for that account
    click on 'Edit'
    deliberately make an error in the server name - remove the port details etc.
    So the details are wrong and cannot send.

  • How can I prevent my iPod nano from turning on by itself and running down the battery?

    I will arrive at my desk in the morning, stop the podcast I'm listening to, notice by the "play" button appearing on the screen and that absence of audio in my ears that the podcast has actually stopped, hold the big oval button down until the screen goes dark, and set my iPod down on the desk. Every now and again (maybe twice a week) I'll catch the iPod playing. It's usually off playing music (i.e. it's somehow navigated away from the podcast I've been listenting to and ended up in a music shuffle somewhere), and it will continue playing until the battery runs down or until I happen to notice it and turn it off. Doesn't only happen at work, happens anywhere...home, car. Result is that once or twice a week I go to use the iPod and the battery has completely run down.
    How can I prevent my iPod nano from turning on by itself?

    Unplug the headphones.

  • When used as an Activex control in windows How can I prevent the "Q" logo from appearing between streaming videos?

    When used as an Activex control in windows How can I prevent the "Q" logo from appearing between streaming videos?

    Hello Cgifford,
    Welcome to National Instruments Forums.
    To output your signal to the PFI lines,
    you can use external connectios between OUT0 and PFI lines. You can also use
    the backplane to do so by routing into the same RTSI line.
    1)
    On the SCOPE and FGEN, the name of the
    terminals are actually “PXI Trigger Line x/RTSIx” but on the 6602 you might
    need to route the signal using the property:
    You can also use the DAQmx route signal which perform the same opperation.
    2)
    This will depend on the frequency of
    your pulse train. If this is lower than about 10 ms, then you can probably
    place this on a loop and start and stop the acquisition every time. If the
    frequency is higher than this, you will have to use:
    -       Scripting on the FGEN side (read more)
    -       MultiRecord Fetch (more information in the scope help file
    section “Acquisition Functions Reading versus Fetching”).
    3)
    The short answer is yes. The longer one
    might depend on how tight you need the synchronization to be (us, ns, ps). For
    very tight synchronization, you should look into here.

  • How can I prevent two different profiles from interfering with one another?

    I have a serious profiles problem. I created a new profile with Profile Manager and then copied a well-established profile's contents into its directory before starting the new profile. Now, when I start either profile, it contains whatever tabs I had in the previously opened profile. I deleted a bunch of tabs and a window from the new profile but when I opened it after having opened and closed the old profile, the tabs and window reappeared. If I open some tabs in the new profile and then close it and open the old profile, the tabs appear in it, and vice versa.
    I open the original profile through a shell script:
    <pre>/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P "profile 1"</pre>
    I open the second one the same way but with the <i>-no-remote</i> parameter:
    <pre>/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox -P "profile 1 clone" -no-remote</pre>
    Why do the two profiles collide like that and how can I prevent this from happening?

    Are you using Sync then ?
    Or are you setting a bunch of tabs as the homepage ?
    If you cloned a profile they will start off the same and that will include the set of open tabs from the file ''sessionstore.js'' however profiles are independent and so should have there own sessionstore and History once they have been used.

  • My password protected phone was stolen and hacked into.  How can I prevent someone like this from hacking into/getting around the passcode?  They now have access to everything on my phone (I had a passcode to prevent this)

    How can you prevent a hacker from bypassing your iphone passcode?  My phone was stolen and someone hacked in and has access to everything on my phone and turned off "find my iphone."  This is exactly what I wanted to prevent from happening and the reason why I had a passcode. 

    Turn on "Erase Data" in Settings>Passcode. That will wipe the data after 10 incorrect password attempts.
    Turn off "Simple Passcode" in the same place and use something other than a 4 digit pin as your passcode.
    Also make sure Find my iPhone is enabled so you can locate and if necessary, forcibly wipe the phone.

  • How can I prevent my fullscreen app from closing when escape is pressed in Cocoa-Applescript?

    How can I prevent my fullscreen Cocoa-Applescript app from being closed when a user presses escape?

    Actually, in testing something else with Thunderbird as the receiving email client, I found that blanks in the Full Name entry box works when the recipient does not have a history with you. My earlier tests were from one account to another of my accounts, but viewing the received message in Mail. Mail knew the address so added the Full Name from history. The Thunderbird I was testing another issue with, was a virgin installation, and had the same recipient account, but not the sending one, setup. In Thunderbird only the actual email address came in, and no name.

  • How can I select pages to print from a Word document using the report generation 'print report' vi?

    I have researched the knowledge base and found:
    Printing A Range of Pages or Number of Copies of a Report Using the Report Generation Toolkit in LabVIEW.
    This seems to be from a previous version of LV. I am using LV2010. The instructions given do not match up with the current vi. The information did provide a tip and drilling down into  the vi I was able to insert the from/to page numbers at the printout invoke method, however this prevents the print function from working in that it can no longer find the default printer.
    The error message is:
    Error 1015 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Word_Print.vi -> NI_Word.lvclassrint Report.vi ->
    error 1015 is: Printer is not responding. Check printer configuration.
    Any ideas how I can make the modification to print, for example, pages 24 through 29 out of a 32 page word document?
    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hello, take a look at this article. Unfortunately the Generate Report Get Data to Modify.vi was remove since RGT 1.1.3 release. That being said, we can try to find a workaround. See "Configuring a Printer Through the Windows Dialog in LabVIEW", open the GetPrinterSettings.vi, at the PrinterSettings property node you can select the from/to page. I hope this helps.

  • How can I prevent Firefox 7 & 8 from launching two firefox applications simultaneously when I open or reopen Firefox?

    When I launch Firefox, the blogspot URL below opens its own Firefox window 2 seconds before another Firefox window opens the current tabs I am working with. The 2 windows then merge into 1 one application window. I have not created any additional profiles. I can't block the site, can't close the blogspot URL in its window because its titlebar controls are offscreen and I can't reposition window. I can only close its window if it appears in the taskbar as another Firefox window. The blogspot window does not appear as a separate process to allow me to terminate it.
    Also, is there any way to prevent the chronic Javascript error that appears one or more times on each new tab: doc.getElementsByTagName is not a function

    This happened to me too.
    I analyzed the source codes of the extensions I'm using and found that a [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/keylogger-220858/ keylogger] extensions developed by [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/user/5389748/ Lipo-Technologies] is behind the game. Just uninstalling it fixed all the issues for me. Extensions developed by them includes Play Your Piano!, Keylogger, Browser Server and Test Your memory!.
    Other interesting things which you guys will definitely find interesting:
    * Evil code starts from line 165 of keylogger-1.5-fx/chrome/content/overlay.js
    * Every time when I check the logs of keylogger, a GET request is made automatically to http://lipo-technologies.com/Keylogger/ajax2.php.
    If the response of this GET request is "no", nothing happens.
    If it is "yes", the sturcture will be like this: ''yes^^^http://google.com/^^^toolbar=0,location=0,titlebar=0,status=0,menubar=0,scrollbars=0, resizable=0,height=105,width=780,top=0,left=0'' and Firefox opens a new window with that URL.
    That simply means, those extension developers can open any page they wish on your browser at any point of time.
    * By the way, http://lipo-technologies.com/Keylogger/news.html actually redirects users to http://no1techblog.blogspot.com/.
    So if you are checking source codes of extensions, normally you won't find any direct links to no1techblog.blogspot.com
    * Check out the "Browser Server" extension developed by the same team, they also opens advertisement windows randomly. (We miss POW, really)
    Note:
    I just copy pasted my previous post from here: [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/857782#answer-279635 When I start Firefox the following website loads dozen of times: http://no1techblog.blogspot.com/ - How do I stop this? (not an issue with MSEx)]

  • How can I use Pages 4.3 (from Retail pack) template on Pages 5.2 (from Mac App Store)?

    This is a new machine running on Mavericks bought last year since my old Mac had a hard-drive failure. Installed Pages (part of iWork '09 package), updated to Pages 5.0 from the Mac App Store and no issues. However, now I need to use some of the old Pages template (San Fancisco Letter to be specific) and the new Pages dosn't have that.
    So I had to extract the San Fancisco template from Pages '09 and tried installing under 'My Template' on Pages 5.3. But evertime I'm getting an error while installing. That's when I realised after going through the discussions here, that I can't install a Pages '09 template on Pages 5.3.
    So my question is how to use a Pages 4.0 template on Pages 5.3? Is it possible to install Pages 4.3 while Pages 5.2 is still installed? Is there a workaround?
    Note: I don't need Pages 4.3 but would like to use some of the templates from there, working on Pages 5.2.
    Thanks in advance - Sid

    Due to the huge number of missing features in v5.2 that were functional in Pages ’09 v4.3, many of the older version templates expect features/functionality that simply do not exist in v5.2. You should realize that Pages v5 is a brand new application/design, and not a progressive version enhancement to Pages ’09.
    When you updated to Pages v5, that process automatically moved Pages ’09 v4.3 into /Applications/iWork '09. You can continue to use the older Pages (and associated custom templates) on Mavericks.
    I would resist removing Pages ’09 from your machine, as it is functionally superior to Pages v5.
    Templates that you save with Pages ’09 v4.3 are kept in ~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates
    Templates that you save with Pages v5+ are kept in ~/Library/Containers/com.apple.iWork.Pages/Data/Library/Application Support/User Templates
    One of the things that I noticed about the original Pages v5 installation is that it transferred a small subset of My Templates from Pages ’09 into the above User Templates location. These were relative simple templates. The complicated ones did not migrate.
    Be certain to make a backup copy of any Pages ’09 template document. Once you open it in Pages v5+, it can no longer be opened in the older Pages application. Providing the template is compatible with Pages v5+, perform a File > Save as Template... to the default location.

  • HT4623 Hi how can I get pages to download from my mac to my iPad? Do I have to buy it again?

    Thanks

    On the mac, you can save a Pages document to icloud and on the ipad (yes, you have to buy the ipad version of Pages) you can access the document.
    If instead you mean how to download the Pages program from a mac to an ipad, then you can't.  Different operating systems need different programs.  Just like you can't download Word in Windows to a Mac (unless you use a Windows simulator on the Mac).

  • How can I prevent client certificate information from being written to kjs log?

    I have an application running on iPlanet Application server 6.0 that makes an SSL connection to an external site using client certificate. Problem : Every time the connection is wrapped in a client certificate, the entire SSL handshake including the key-exchange information is automatically being logged in the kjs log. How do I prevent the kjs from writing this inormation to the log ?

    How are you making this SSL connection? Whatever library you are using must be writing to System.out().
    You could avoid logging these messages by using file logs rather than console logs. But you could probably disable these messages by working with your SSL libraries as well.

  • How can I prevent Safari/iCloud Keychain from saving data in our password field?

    We have a web-based management system where administrators can set and update passwords for individual users. While I love iCloud keychain personally, the problem we are finding is that if the user, once prompted by Safari to Save the password in iCloud Keychain for Autofill, actually clicks 'Save Password', then our page wants to autofill that same password for any selected user or newly added user (and since we don't allow duplicates, constant errors result).
    So the basic question: is there a way in HTML or Javascript to set form fields - or an entire form or div - to be ignored by iCloud Keychain, even if they are username or password fields.
    We know we could just tell all our Safari users to disable in preferences with a pop-up banner, but that would be unfortunate (and IE-like)
    (If this is the wrong place to find this type of info, any clue appreciated. Naturally we've searched a bunch already)

    Can I remove my iCloud Keychain from Apple's servers?
    Yes. Follow these steps, starting on any one of your iOS devices or Macs that is using iCloud Keychain:
    Devices using iOS 7.0.3 or later:
    Go to Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain and turn off “Approve with Security Code”.
    Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
    Macs using OS X Mavericks v10.9 or later:
    Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Account details.
    Deselect “Allow approving using security code”.
    Go to each of your other devices that is using iCloud Keychain and turn iCloud Keychain off.
    After you complete these steps, your keychain data will remain locally on your devices, but changes to your keychain information will not push to your other devices or the cloud unless you turn iCloud Keychain back on. If you want keychain data to push to all of your devices, but not to the cloud, turn on iCloud Keychain on each device as described earlier in this document, but skip the step to create an iCloud Security Code.
