How do I restore usual typing speed to Pages files?

In the last few days my keystrokes in Pages files have become slower than usual. I experimented with the settings in Apple Preferences > Keyboard, but that has not solved the problem. I checked a few Numbers files and the response time of my keystrokes is normal.

A perceptible delay between pressing a key and having it appear can be caused by a number of things. Please determine if the problems also occur in "Safe Mode":
Safe Mode or "Safe Boot" is a troubleshooting mode that bypasses all third party system extensions and loads only required system components. Read about it: Starting up in Safe Mode
You must disable FileVault before you can start your Mac in Safe Mode.
Starting your Mac in Safe Mode will take longer than usual, graphics will not render smoothly, audio is disabled on some Macs, and some programs (iTunes for example) may not work at all.
Merely starting your Mac in Safe Mode is not intended to resolve the problem, it's to observe its performance without certain additional components.
To end Safe Mode restart your Mac normally. Shutdown will take longer as well.

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve your problem.
If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. All it does is to gather information about the state of your computer. That information goes nowhere unless you choose to share it on this page. However, you should be cautious about running a program at the instance of a stranger on a public message board. If you have doubts, search this site for other discussions in which this procedure has been followed without any report of ill effects. If you can't satisfy yourself that the instructions are safe, don't follow them.
Here's a summary of what you need to do: Copy a line of text from this web page into the window of another application. Wait about a minute. Then paste some other text, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. Details follow.
You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this paragraph doesn’t apply.
The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in your browser, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
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.
When you launch Terminal, a text window will open with a line already in it, ending either in a dollar sign ($) or a percent sign (%). If you get the percent sign, enter “sh” and press return. You should then get a new line ending in a dollar sign.
Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste (command-V). The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important.
If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for your password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator rights.
The test may take up to a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. There is no indication of progress until it's done. Wait for the line "[Process completed]" to appear in the Terminal window. If you don't see that line within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report your results. No harm will be done.
When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
When you post the results, you might see the message, "You have included content in your post that is not permitted." That's because the forum software falsely identifies something in the post as a violation of the terms of use. If that happens, please post the results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
Note: This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.

The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
To Reset Firefox do the following:
#Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
#Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
#Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
#Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.

How do I restore my bookmarks from an HTML file?

I have just installed Ubuntu 11.04 and I want to restore my bookmarks from an HTML file.
This used to be accessible via "Bookmarks-> Organise Bookmarks" but the "Organise Bookmarks" menu item no longer exists so I'm stymied.
This help system seems to think that it does exist, however, so please note that on my system, it does NOT. I suspect that hundreds, thousands, or even millions of new Ubuntu 11.04 users will be facing exactly the same problem.
I don't think users will be able to help with this one unless someone knows how to restore the "Organise Bookmarks" menu item. It's the only one that will do what I want and so there's no point recommending "Show All Bookmarks" as a solution. That doesn't work.
Finally, persuading this system that I really do have a new problem that isn't covered in the FAQs was a very irritating experience. I wonder if Chrome will know what to do with my "bookmarks.html" file?

Update to my previous posting. I just installed Chromium, and it took '''LESS than 10 seconds''' to import my bookmarks. Why would I waste any more time with Firefox?? I had intended to give Firefox 4 a chance to show me what improvements had been made, but who needs the grief. Bad move guys... bad move.

How to convert/restore data from SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1 in a file ?

Hi all,
I have succeed in finding where my attachment data were stored thanks to the SO_DOCUMENT_READ_API1.
But how could I convert/restore those data in the original file ? (data seems to be in a RAW format store in table Object_Content)
If I want my file back, how could I do it ?
Hope you undestand ^^
Thanks for answering !

just pass your table to the FM and specify the destination. If you do not wish to hard code your destination folder you could call another function to specify the destination.
data: path like rlgrap-filename default 'C://my documents/immunitiesdata2009'.
*path will be be the destination location where you download the contents on PC
datatab[] = contents_bin[].
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'

How can I fix this problem with exporting Pages files?

Hello,
I'm having problems with exporting Pages files to Word or PDF (I haven't tried the other formats). Whenever I try to export the Page file, I get one message like this: "The document "XXXXXXX" could not be exported as "YYYYYYY". This problem started after the last Pages update, before that it was working fine. I restarted the computer, updated the OS, but the problem hasn't been solved.
Does anyone know how to fix this problem?
Thank you in advance!
Best regards,
Filipe

Computers are made of parts made by humans and assembled by humans of materials that are not perfect.
For example, a display cable that was accidentally pinched during assembly would pass quality control testing with flying colors and would not fail until the lid had been opened and closed several times.
Likewise a display might not fail until powered on and off a few hundred times.

How do I restore my bookmarks from a saved file on my computer if it is not a HTML Document file?

Look I had save a copy of my bookmarks on my external hard drive. I had used the file before to restore my bookmarks in the past with no problem. Now it says its not an html doc file. Or when I had to hit the reset button all my old firefox data was saved to my computers desk top in a folder how can I use the bookmark file in that folder. I hope there is a way.

Make sure that the backup file with the bookmarks has the correct file extension:
* .html for a HTML backup
* .json for a JSON backup
You can check the type via the right-click context menu of that file and open the Properties. 
If you are not sure about the file type then you can open the file in Firefox via "File > Open File" 
A JSON backup will show as one long text line without line breaks and a HTML backup as a web page with clickable links. 
A JSON backup starts with: <nowiki>{"title":"","id":1,"dateAdded":</nowiki>
An HTML backup starts with: <nowiki><!DOCTYPE NETSCAPE-Bookmark-file-1></nowiki>

How do you restore the system from a backup file that you created previously

I have a notebook, Pavilion g6 - 1031TX running windows 7 64bit OS, and ran the backup utility a few weeks ago before running a full system recovery to attemp to fix an issue - this issue was fixed by warranty, and now I need to recover everything from the backup files, I have run the restore executable in the folder and it created another folder on my C: drive (System recovery files), how do I use this to restore the system to its previous state?

Unfortunately, the backup utilty portion of Recovery is not optimal solution for restoring many files.Unless you know exactly where they go you are stuck. Most of the important stuff such as photos,music,etc will be in the 'Users' folder under your user name. You will have to manually move them to correct location.
A better option in the future is Windows 7's backup app in Control Panel.

HOW DO YOU RESTORE A BROKEN W520 AUDIO CONEXANT FILE ASSOCIATION?

I uninstalled a program that had taken over the Conexant file association, and just left it broken.
Now, if I go to Amazon and click to hear a sample of a song, instead of getting music, I get a file download selection box, asking which program I want to open the sound sample file, but it doesn't list conexant. I reinstalled the driver, but that didn't restore the automatic connection, as I keep getting the file download file for each sample of a song, which gets saved to disk.
Aaargh!! Help! How can I stop this nonsense?
Thanks to any helper.

Conexant isn't an audio player. You'll probably want Windows Media Player, or VLC, or some media player.

How can I restore FileGlobals in a Client Sequence File that is reloaded?

Hi,
I'm using TS2.0.1f1 and dynamic client files (search "DynamicClientModel" to see an example) in order to load different test sequences depending on what product should be tested.
We do something like this,
newseq = IEngine.GetSequenceFile(...)
Execution.ClientFile = newseq
Do testing
IEngine.ReleaseSequenceFileEx(newseq)
Goto
The first time a client sequence file is loaded it will copy the default FileGlobals from RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.FileGlobalDefaults (TS does this automatically).
The problem though is that after calling ReleaseSequenceFileEx() the actual sequence isn�t really disposed. Since when we later start over with another prod
uct that uses the same client sequence file the GetSequenceFile() call returns the same copy that was used before and doesn�t copy the FileGlobals from RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.FileGlobalDefaults, there by the second time the same sequence file is used, the FileGlobals don�t have there default values.
So, to get back to the subject, how can I make sure that the second time around the FileGlobals have there default values?
(Keep in mind that all this is done within the same execution of the processmodel.)
I�ve included a short demonstration of this in the attached zip file.
Any help appreciated.
Cheers,
Hans

Hi Scott,
Thanks for the answer, I had been thinking about option nr 1 in particular but that would require more changes than I'm prepared to do right now.
I tried option nr 2, but instead of adding that line to the client sequence file I made the copy operation in the process model like this.
Execution.ClientFile = Locals.ClientSeq
Locals.ClientFileGlobalsRef = Execution.GetFileGlobals(Locals.ClientSeq)
Locals.SerializedCopy = ""
[RunState.ProcessModelClient.Data.FileGlobalDefaults] PropertyObject.Serialize(Locals.SerializedCopy, "Test", 0)
[Locals.ClientFileGlobalsRef] PropertyObject.Unserialize(Locals.SerializedCopy, "Test", 0)
This seems to do the trick, although option nr 2 does seem a bit like doing things the way they weren't
supposed to be done.
Regarding option nr 1, are there any �Best Practice� documents, guides or examples on how one should best manage Engine and Execution lifetimes? Or to put it differently when to spawn new Executions and or Engines during the span of working with several units of the same product type and/or different product types?
Cheers,
Hans

How do I restore links to bookmarks in Pages documents in OS X 10.9?

When using Mountain Lion I created numerous links between Pages documents and to bookmarks within Pages documents. After converting to Mavericks none of those links works and I cannot find a way of restoring those links. Suggestions?

After trying a variety of approaches, I was virtually certain that the feature had been eliminated (as you knew). I was dismayed that the Pages 4.3 bookmarks and links didn't work in Pages 5.0 since I had created hundreds of business documents using those features.
On the advice of Alexander Wolff and the local Apple store, I've restored Pages 4.3 and retrieved the documents I had converted to Pages 5.0 from my Time Machine.
Per your suggestion, I'm leaving feedback for the Pages team.
Thanks for the information and advice.

How can I restore sliced image from web page?

http://www.jimmyrea.com
This website was created several years back with Fireworks and Dreamweaver. The client wants to have some changes done, but wants to keep it pretty much as it is and they don't have much of a budget to work with. Is there any way that I could restore the FW image png file from the web page? The original png was lost. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

This may seem like closing the barn door after the cows have gone, but it's very important to keep your native project files on an external drive or in a zipped folder on your remote server in case you ever need them again.
If you use Firefox. Right click > Page Info > Media. You will see a list of image files used on the page. It may take some doing to reconstruct your Native Fireworks comp from these slices, though. Depending on what needs to be changed, content vs cosmetic, you might be able to squeak by just editing a few slices.
I would probably want to ditch the MM image rollover menus in favor of an easier to maintain CSS styled list menu. Too bad the client can't afford a site wide re-design.

Apple is replacing my 27" iMac Hard Drive and when I get it back, I want to know how do I restore from Time Machine to before the hard drive failed

My hard drive (1TB) failed this week on my Late 2009 27" iMac and I took it into the Apple Store. They confirmed the problem was the hard drive after a couple tests and offered to replace it for $260. I have everything backed up on my Time Capsule within Time Machine and am wondering how I can restore my entire PC (all my files, settings, etc) from my last back up a couple days ago. I am assuming it is a simple fix, but I want to have a good plan when it comes back...if there are articles or other threads you can point me to, I would apprecite it. I am looking forward to getting a refreshed computer back but it would be great to have it fully restore from my last backup.
Thanks!
