How can I repair "Page Set-up" in OS 10.4.11 (it stopped working)

On my old Powermac G4 my Page Sset-up cannot be opened anymore.
I have some Appleworks 6.2.9 spread sheets with multiple pages, which I need to print on an Epson 580 Printer,
the Print command in the File pulldown asks to "use the Page Set-up first", but  if I pull it down and click on it, it says
the same thing and does not show any dialog.
Is "Page Set-up"  part of Appleworks, or part of the Epson Printer Software, or is it part of the OS?
I got all the original disks for all that software, but reinstalling the whole works would take days
(...and may cause something else to disappear that I might not have on disk)
Your help is appreciated.  

Hello Klaus, thanks for the Help.  I reinstalled my Epson RX 580 Printer Software, then updated the drivers from the Epson Website.
Page Set-up was still not working.
So  I reinstalled Appleworks 6, then updated it to 6.2.9.  ( I got all the disks and saved all the Uppdate .dmg's)
I have 4 built-in hard drives, the largest one split into 3 separate volumes one of which is Techtool's E-drive), 3 of them have more or less the same data on it for back-up, all but one have their own boot start.
I had the same problem with all the drives. Each day I update Appleworks spreadsheets which have 4 pages, then save with new date.  I seldom need to print them, and never had any trouble doing so, until this time.
I went back a few years and picked one of the dated spreadsheets, opened it, then tried Page-Set-up and it worked.  It did that several times until I had narrowed down to the first dated SS in which Page set-up did not work:  It was dated Oct 1, 2009.  All later sheets had the same problem no Page Set-up possible, all earlier sheets were not so affected.
I made a copy of the last working SS, saved it as a template, erased all the data, then tried Page Set-up and it worked,  I copied the data from a later sheet into it, and saved to desk under new name.  I tried Print using PDF Print, then noticed that the old sheet I had used as template had only 3 Pages. 
I had to add new cells to get my 4 Page system back.  But here was a new problem, I could print, but it would only print the old cell range from the 3 Page spreads.  There was no way to print sheet 4.  Even the extra cells in sheet 3 would not print.  Now that must be caused by Appleworks!  Or rather the Appleworks updates which had been all over the place in their last glory days.  (I had  tried to back-peddle trying with Appleworks 6 and Appleworks 5, even Clarisworks, well it did not work but Appleworks 6 files now add the extension  .cwk to all files - even though Preferences are set to "No Extensions" and I click on "No Extensions" while saving files.  The only way to get rid of these extension is to save the file, then highlight the name of the file
in its folder, and change delete the extension from the file name.  If this file is then opened up and saved a under a new nme the extension is gone from the new file as well.)
I just about gave up here.  I had checked all the disks with Disk Utility to verify Permissions, and check the Volumes.  Nothing was found.   I brought in the Techtool  and checked all the drives , and volumes:  nothing found.  I noticed here that my most actively used drive needed defrag, and so I used Techtool to defrag.  I tried the next day and discovered that the new 4 page spread sheet template would now print all pages!
So now I know what to do If I need to print from an old spresdsheet that has no Page Seutp.  I simply copy its contents to my new 4 sheet template.   All my new sheets are now done using the new template.

    Steve,
    I appreciate your answer.  While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
    With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
    Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change.  Yes, it might work.  The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
    Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro?  Any issues with anyone else?
    Thanks Steve.  I do appreciate your offering a solution.  I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

  • I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"?

    I made a big mistake to change the setting of my Mac book pro to "me only". Now ofcourse It cannot open the login page, for how would the mac know it is me? How can I change the setting back to "everyone"? I have back up in the past but the last month I have not. I really want to keep the data.
    So how can I go in and change the setting, It stays ofcourse at the apple screen with wheel. All info is there and the computer works fine, just cannot use it or have been able to log in.

    wjosten is spot on.  If you really want iCloud, then you will need to acquire a new or second hand MBP that can run Lion.

    No, not unless it is simply a network connection.
    How is your IPTV being provided.. if it is using a separate vlan or separate vpi/vci in the adsl connection. Who is your ISP?
    Is the TP-Link ADSL?
    Is the IPTV using a separate voice channel on adsl?
    Or a different vlan.
    Sorry but it is something where a definite answer is not possible unless you provide all the details.
    The setups are unique to each ISP around the world..
    Here is one for our local ISP.
    http://www.avenard.org/iptv/Setup.html
    He has a section on getting this working with apple router over wireless.. look
    http://www.avenard.org/iptv/IPTV_and_Wireless.html
    Google around and see if other people have had success.. the whole setup is tricky.. and it is hard if nobody has used it who actually understands networking.

  • HT1373 How can I find Pages documents I've created on my iPad on my Mac?

    How can I find Pages documents that I've created on my iPad on my Mac?  I have iCloud set up.  Thanks.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    If you have turned on iCloud on the iPad and on the Mac, you can see your documents created on the iPad if you are using Pages '09 and OS X Mountain Lion. Open Pages and the iCloud window will appear with the documents.
    If you don't have Mountain Lion and/or Pages '09, you can access to them on http://www.icloud.com, choosing iWork

  • Files that used to be visible are now hidden in Mavericks. How can I change the setting to view the same files as before? I do not need the hidden files that are typically invisible.

    Files that used to be visible are now hidden in Mavericks 10.9.1. How can I change the setting to view the same files as before? I do not need the hidden files that are typically invisible.
    I am having trouble locating such files as PDF's INDD, AI etc. When I view all hidden files and try to open it in the program..it looks like it is really not on the drive. Has anyone come across a solution?

    You may need to rebuild permissions on your user account. To do this,boot to your Recovery partition (holding down the Command and R keys while booting) and open Terminal from the Utilities menu. In Terminal, type:  ‘resetpassword’ (without the ’s), hit return, and select the admin user. You are not going to reset your password. Click on the icon for your Macs hard drive at the top. From the drop down below it select the user account which is having issues. At the bottom of the window, you'll see an area labeled Restore Home Directory Permissions and ACLs. Click the reset button there. The process takes a few minutes. When complete, restart.

  • How can I extract page with showing the e-sign signatures?

    How can I extract page with showing the e-sign signatures? When I extract pages, the e-sign signatures are all disappear.  Or can I save the documents without verify the signatures?  When I open the documents, it need verify the signatures and then open it now.

    Hi Ada,
    The thing you have to realize is when using Acrobat or Reader to create a digital signature you are signing the whole document (all of the bytes in the document). You are not signing just the page where the signature appearance resides.
    Another thing to realize is the signature appearance (what you see on the page in the signature field) is not the signature itself. The signature proper is a block of hex encoded bytes written into the PDF file and not something you see (unless you open the file in a text editor). What you see on the page is just a graphical representation of the actual signature, but it's not the actual signature.
    When you extract a page (even if it had the signature appearance on it) it is just a sub-set of the signed bytes, and if the signature were to be extracted as well it would be invalid because the bytes in the extracted file would not match the bytes in the signature. Because the signature in the extracted document would always be invalid we just remove it.

  • How can I block page up/ page down keys evetn to the JScrollPane.

    Hi,
    How can I block page up/ page down keys to JScrollPane. I don't want the content to scroll if user presses page up/ page down key.
    Thanks in advance.

    Look in the class BasicLookAndFeel. There is a definition for the UIDefaults entry "ScrollBar.focusInputMap". It is initialized with a set of keystroke definition for the input map. You can modify this definition and add a new map to the defaults map or you can create and add the map to instances of JScrollPane.

  • I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    I bought an iPad and an iTunes card, I want to buy an application from the Apps store but it only gives me the option of credit card.  How can I buy Pages with my iTunes card to my iPad? thank you

    Have you redeemed your iTunes card to an account associated with an Apple ID?
    Once you have your iPad associated with an Apple ID AND you have an account with a credit card associated with the same Apple ID AND you have some 'store credit' (from redeeming your iTunes card) then purchases use the store credit before they charge the credit card, so you should be ok!
    Personally, I use 'store credit' as a way to monitor whether or not there have been any 'unauthorised' purchases because as soon as the store credit is zero, the security code from the credit card is needed for further purchases!  It does mean that I have sometimes to top up store credit before making a purchase, but 'better safe than sorry'!

    The only way that I know currently know of to remove old or incorrect email addresses from the Mail app is to reset the iPad back to factory defaults, which I assume that you don't want to to. You could try leaving feedback for Apple and maybe one day we'll day be able to edit them : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html#ipad
