How do i get rid of the 'grey space' in document page view?

I am continually trying to 'center' the document and notice that there is a fixed width 'grey space' to the left of the white page. Is there a way to get rid of this?

The 'grey area' to the left of the working area (which is blue on my machine) shows the thumbnail of the page where you are currently entering or editing text. The only way i know to make it go away is to go View (menu) > Hide Page Thumbnails.
The grey vertical stripe to the right of the working page in the area beyond the edge of the defined page width set in Page Setup. It will show whenever your document window has been set wider than the page width at the current magnification.
You can remove that grey by enlarging the page, or by reducing the window width.
Pages documents align to the left edge of the working space in the window, and can't be moved from there.
Other actions you could take:
Use Full Screen mode (View > enter Full Screen) The removes all other material from the display, leaving an image of the page, centered left to right, and surrounded by a blank, black border. Depending on your window settings, you may also see a word count and an page number/page count displayed at the bottom of the screen.
If you want a plain, whiite (or other colour) margin for your document, try this:
Open a new, blank Pages document.
Use the View menu to hide all elements whose menu item starts with "Hide".
Set the view scale to 400%, using the control at the bottom left.
Drag the window to the left about twice as far as needed to hide the red amber and green gumdrops in the title bar.
Drag the control at the bottom right corner right (and down) to fill the window.
Drag the title bar right to hide the lozenge at the right end of the title bar.
Save the document as a Template, with the name "Blank white background"
To use:
Open ths template, then open the document you want to work on. Hide the Page Thumbnails of the work document, resize the document window to hold the page, with no grey area to the right. Reposition the document to be centered horizontally on the page.

How do I get rid of the "other" space on my macbook air?

I have 11" Macbook Air and mostly use it just for music and as a home computer and do not have a lot of documents or anything that take up a large portion of the storage.

Bearing in mind that 'Other' consists of emails, contacts, appointments, data, document files, OSX and its libraries and more, I would be very careful what you delete. It is not just backup, it is your stuff.

Hi stephanie,
These are unrelated questions/statements.
Space before and space after a paragraph are controled in the Text Inspector, as you've found out.
Pages will create a page break whenever there is no room for another line on the page. That break can come anywhere in a paragraph.
You may be thinking of Widow and Orphan prevention, and the other Pagination controls, found under the More button in the Text Inspector. (If that's what you found, then thanks for the refresher! I hadn't been to that pane for awhile, and had forgotten the variety of pagination controls available.

How do i get rid of the Other space on my mac?

So i was scrolling through my 128GB mac and seeing how much memory i have left its saying only 36GB and 64GB is taken up by "Other" how do i get rid of that???

Have a look at how space is being used:
OmniDiskSweeper (free) - http://www.omnigroup.com/applications/omnidisksweeper/download/
OS X Lion: About Time Machine's "local snapshots" on portable Macs - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4878 - “You may notice a difference in available space statistics between Disk Utility, Finder, and Get Info inspectors. This is expected and can be safely ignored. The Finder displays the available space on the disk without accounting for the local snapshots, because local snapshots will surrender their disk space if needed."

How do I get rid of the "other" space that's taking up my disk space?

So my mac has been constantly giving me notifications about how my hardrive space is almost full. So I went into my storage space to find out what was taking up so much space on my laptop to find that this "other" seems to be taking up the most space. So I was just wondering how I can decrease this or how I can get rid of it?

For information about the Other category in the Storage display, see this support article. If the Storage display seems to be inaccurate, try rebuilding the Spotlight index.
Empty the Trash if you haven't already done so. If you use iPhoto, empty its internal Trash first:
iPhoto ▹ Empty Trash
Do the same in other applications, such as Aperture, that have an internal Trash feature. Then restart the computer. That will temporarily free up some space.
According to Apple documentation, you need at least 9 GB of available space on the startup volume (as shown in the Finder Info window) for normal operation—not the mythical 10%, 15%, or any other percentage. You also need enough space left over to allow for growth of the data. There is little or no performance advantage to having more available space than the minimum Apple recommends. Available storage space that you'll never use is wasted space.
When Time Machine backs up a portable Mac, some of the free space will be used to make local snapshots, which are backup copies of recently deleted files. The space occupied by local snapshots is reported as available by the Finder, and should be considered as such. In the Storage display of System Information, local snapshots are shown as Backups. The snapshots are automatically deleted when they expire or when free space falls below a certain level. You ordinarily don't need to, and should not, delete local snapshots yourself. If you followed bad advice to disable local snapshots by running a shell command, you may have ended up with a lot of data in the Other category. Ask for instructions in that case.
See this support article for some simple ways to free up storage space.
You can more effectively use a tool such as OmniDiskSweeper (ODS) or GrandPerspective (GP) to explore the volume and find out what's taking up the space. You can also delete files with it, but don't do that unless you're sure that you know what you're deleting and that all data is safely backed up. That means you have multiple backups, not just one. Note that ODS only works with OS X 10.8 or later. If you're running an older OS version, use GP.
Deleting files inside an iPhoto or Aperture library will corrupt the library. Any changes to a photo library must be made from within the application that created it. The same goes for Mail files.
Proceed further only if the problem isn't solved by the above steps.
ODS or GP can't see the whole filesystem when you run it just by double-clicking; it only sees files that you have permission to read. To see everything, you have to run it as root.
Back up all data now.
If you have more than one user account, make sure you're logged in as an administrator. The administrator account is the one that was created automatically when you first set up the computer.
Install the app you downloaded in the Applications folder as usual. Quit it if it's running.
Triple-click anywhere in the corresponding line of text below on this page to select it, then copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C:
sudo /Applications/OmniDiskSweeper.app/Contents/MacOS/OmniDiskSweeper
sudo /Applications/GrandPerspective.app/Contents/MacOS/GrandPerspective
Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window by pressing command-V. You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator. Ignore any other messages that appear in the Terminal window.
The application window will open, eventually showing all files in all folders, sorted by size. It may take a few minutes for the app to finish scanning.
I don't recommend that you make a habit of doing this. Don't delete anything as root. If something needs to be deleted, make sure you know what it is and how it got there, and then delete it by other, safer, means. When in doubt, leave it alone or ask for guidance.
When you're done with the app, quit it and also quit Terminal.

How do I get rid of the grey outline on my PDF when viewing it on an iPad

An ugly grey outline appears on my PDF only when viewing it on an iPad. Any idea how to get rid of it?

Actually I've worked out (by testing a different sized PDF) that it's the background of the interface colour For some reason my PDF isn't quite making it to the edges so it looks like it has a 2 pt grey outline + then the black ipad border. I'd like plain black around the edges (the same as if you were viewing it in full screen mode on a desktop computer). Good Reader shows it fine but I'd prefer to use Acrobat. Is there any way to adjust the grey to black? or why it's not quite making it to the edges? Many thanks in advance for your help!

How do I get rid of the grey panel that lists 'devices', 'shared', 'Places'

The left hand panel in every folder window used to be closeable in System 10.3.9 but now that i've upgraded to Panther I don't see how to get rid of it. It wastes space and I never want to view it unless I decide to see it.

that panel is called the sidebar. the only way to completely get rid of it in leopard is to collapse both the sidebar AND the toolbar. to do that click on the little oval in the upper right corner of the finder window in question.

They are not "gray bars" that is the area off your page.

How can I get rid of The Grey screen and boot my macbook?

Today I was on my MacBook Pro (bought July 2011) and it went to a blank blue screen. I powered it off and tried to restart it. It loaded the apple and spinning circle but it went to a grey screen and froze there. I've read and tried a lot of different things already but nothing has worked. I did the hardware test and it found no problems. I tried to safeboot it. I tried everything on here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570 except the last suggestion (I'd rather not have to lose all my files unless absolutely nesseccary). I also tried the "hold Command + R keys" to try and get to utilities. Anything else out there that I could try? Not sure what the exact operating system is either.

I wouldn't assume that's the hard drive. The fact that the screen turned blue all of a sudden isn't necessarily an indication of a hard drive failure. Check out this post I made yesterday:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/21756819#21756819
My personal opinion would be to try and boot from an external hard drive with the appropriate OS installed. With a 2011 model, I would assume that should be Snow Leopard or later. AHT doesn't catch everything, and I don't know if it even does drive scans for bad blocks. I do know for a fact that it pretty much limits itself to digital interfaces and can't go beyond analog driver stages. For example, if the driver stages of a FireWire port or ethernet port are blown, AHT will report them as being OK.
If you got hit by a transient, which could indicate an internal supply problem or a line problem if you were connected to the internet via a wired connection or you were running off the charger, there's no telling what it might have caused the drive to do (if it's the drive) and it could easily cause the screen to suddenly go to blue, but what other damage was done?
My point is that you need to confirm what the source of the problems are. If there's a logic board problem, your drive and data may be OK. If the drive is bad, some of it may still be recoverable. The problem may very well be drive related, but I wouldn't go out and start throwing money at new parts without first confirming what the cause of the problems is.
Hope this helped, and good luck.
