how do I save a pages file to a word doc? My save as disappeared!

You can Duplicate the file then Save it as a .doc file.
In Mountain Lion (I don't think this is in Lion), you would click on File then press the Option key to get 'Save As'.

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. However received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately. Ideas?

I transferred a pages file from ipad to mac (also pages) via email for editing. It opened normally. However, after editing, received message that cannot save edited document to the mac because "trial period has expired for iwork"! I have purchased pages for both machines separately and presumed they would work without a hitch. Am I missing something?

It used to be that to update the trial to the licensed version with the box, you just inserted the DVD & ran the installer to convert the trial to licensed. This changed with Snow Leopard. You now need to delete the trial & then reinstall from the boxed DVD or the Mac App Store. The files to delete are the iWork ’09 folder from the main HD > Applications; the iWork ’09 folder in HD > Library > Application Support & the individual iWork application plist files found in HD > Users > (your account) > Library > Preferences for each user.
Yvan Koenig has written an AppleScript that removes the files. You can find it on his iDisk in For_iWork > iWork '09 > uninstall iWork '09.zip.

I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto. You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone. How do you turn your document into a jpeg now.

If you chose print, you can save as PDF. If you open the saved PDF in preview, you can save as JPEG, GIF, PNG. FYI you can crop in preview.
Another option is you could use command + shift + 4 to do a screen shot of a specific part of of the screen.

Since upgrading to Lion, i am unable to take screen shots. i get the message that i don't have permission to save files to the place where SSs are saved. how can i regain the ability to save screen shots? thanks

First of all, are you using the OS native screen capture?
If not, make sure the application you're using has been update for Lion. I was using Snapz Pro for years, but I need to update it for use with Lion. Meanwhile Grab and the keyboard shortcuts are working on my Lion load.
If you are using the native capture mode unsuccessfully, I would run the Disk Utility and repair permissions on the drive. For some reason, even in past OS Versions, routine maintenance of permissions makes life a lot easier.

Email attachments: whenever someone sends me a file the Ipad labels it winmail.dat and wont allow me to open it...these are Word, Exce or jpgs. Does anyone know why this is and how to fix it? Also, how can you save attachments to a file on the IPad2

Is this a particular sender, or all of your attchments? Google winmail.dat and you will see a number of returns that can explain this, but in short, this is the way some e mail providers deal with attachments. If all of your e mail is coming that way, you need to change a setting on your isp set up. Perhaps stary here...

How to load files from a hard drive to my mac?, How to load files from a hard drive to my mac?

I just got my first macbook a few days ago because my windows pc crashed. I have all my documents on the original hard drive, which I can plug into my mac. Is plugging in the hard drive just like plugging in a USB drive? Will I be able to chose the files I want on this mac, and which ones I don't? I'm very new to macs and I don't want to do anything that will potentially "mess up" my new computer.
Some of the word docs are OpenOffice files (which I shouldn't have a problem saving onto my mac because I'm downloading openoffice), but some are also MS Office files as well. I currenlty can't afford to buy the MS Office software for my mac, so I'm going for pages. Will I be able to save my MS files to Pages without any format issues? Do I need to change the format of the docs so I can open and edit them in Pages? Thanks for the help!

I cannot save pictures from facebook to "my Pictures" files on my hard drive. There is no place to indicate the type of file, such as jpg etc.

I have been copying a picture & pasting it on my AOL email & saving photos from Facebook from email . Also, I cannot watch videos posted by my friends on Facebook.
Firefox works fast on scrolling thru Facebook but I haven't found it to be that helpful for simple things I want to do.
Thanks for any help you can provide.

Hi perric,
On the first issue about pictures.
* You can set Firefox to ask you where to save the file rather than always using the Downloads folder. This article describes how to set that: [[Startup, home page and download settings]].
* When you say "there is no place to indicate the type of file, such as jpg etc." is the problem that Facebook isn't including that in the file name and you need to add it? If you could explain this part a bit more.
* Another way to save pictures is to use the Page Info dialog. While on the page with the images, you can use either: * right-click and choose View Page Info > Media * Alt+t (open the classic Tools menu) > Page Info > Media As you scroll down the list, you can preview and use the Save As button to save those "hard to get" images.
On the second issue about videos.
* Do you see a gray space indicating that you need a plugin? Or does the video not play when you click it? Please explain what you're experiencing in a little more detail.
* In case you do not have the Flash player plugin for Firefox, you can get it here: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/ (make sure to uncheck any unwanted extras that Adobe might offer). If you do the download from IE, you won't get the right version. In that case, use this link to choose the non-IE plugin: http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/otherversions/
Hope that helps a bit.

I have a bunch of files in pages '08 and have no way to access them on my new mac that has pages '11

Does anyone know how to access files on an external hard drive from an old computer? I have all my documents on an old hard drive and want to access them. I have pages '11 on my new mac. Does anyone know how I can open them. It says I have to save them to 'pages '09' but I can't open them to do that! I have my iWork's '08 disc, but have lost the book that has the pin or code or whatever.
Any suggestions?
Thank you,
Reid

There is no such thing as Pages or iWork '11. The latest suite of iWork apps are sometimes referred to as iWork '13 as that is the year they were released.
iWork '08 does require a serial number whether it is installed from the retail DVD or the downloaded trial. I suggest you buy the retail box of iWork '09 from a third party such as Amazon.com or eBay. Be sure to run Software Update after installing & before running any of the applications. You can also download the standalone updater from this page.

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

Upgrading to V4 has lost all of my Bookmarks, I still have the restore files in my profile data but they will not load, I have tried importing the html backup file too but it didn't work either. How can I get them back?

Ok this is bizzare!
Thank you for your response, I went throught each and every step without any luck, even got the recovery programme, and painstakingly tried to sift through all that mumbojumbo to find what i needed. finally found the bookmark bit, but it had been fully overwritten :(, so on reading about previous ff versions, found the sqlite thingys, and they were relatively unscathed(partly written over, but saveable apparently TG), saved them to adiff drive, amongst other possibly good folders. Then looked up how to install them, and it said to close FF, and install to profile folder.
So i tried to close FF, and the original problem from a few days ago, where it asked me if 'i was sure i wanted to close this window as it has X tabs open', popped up again. This is where 'open blank page' selection was set, over 'open previous tabs'. Wanting to save that info on how to sort out these friggin files, I reset the Option to 'open previous tabs', and closed FF. After unsucessfully searching for the profile folder on my laptop, i opened FF intending to search online for where i could find said folder.
AND BANG, surprise surprise, the FF I had just closed with only tabs open about finding out what the heck to do, had disappeared, and instead my original saved tabs were up, and my bookmarks are there..... I am gobsmacked! what the heck just happened there???
I have made 3 back up in different folders now, of those friggin bookmarks. I am weary now tho of shutting it all down.... what if its back to the other pages I had with no bookmarks, tomorrow :(

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

How do you get word count to print at the end of a document in Pages?

Pages v5 does not provide a user assignable word count variable. With some AppleScript, and a paste operation from the clipboard, you can have locale punctuated word count in this format: 7,803 — anywhere in your document. The following AppleScript works with Pages '09 v4.3 through Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite.
I would suggest that you copy paste the following AppleScript into your [Apple] Script Editor and save it (suggestion) wordcnt.applescript. Then, follow this with an option+Save As… and this time set the File format to Script Bundle, or Application with hidden extension — saved to your Desktop. Provided you have a Pages document open, you are then a double-click from the ability to paste your current word count into Pages.
Note: If you have Pages word count display enabled, it will automatically count your pasted value as another word which initially may deceive on true word count at the time the script was run.
AppleScript
--- copy below this line ---
property locale : "en_US.UTF-8" -- In Terminal, use the locale command to see yours
if not ApplicationIsRunning("Pages") then
     display dialog "Pages must be running to use this utility."
     return quit
end if
tell application "Pages"
    tell body text of front document
        set wordCnt to count words
        -- Don't want punctuated numbers? Remove the single quote from printf format
        set the clipboard to (do shell script "export LC_ALL=" & locale & "; printf \"%'d\" " & wordCnt)
    end tell
end tell
on ApplicationIsRunning(appName)
     tell application "System Events" to set appNameIsRunning to exists (processes where name is appName)
     return appNameIsRunning
end ApplicationIsRunning

Created document on Mac Air Pages, saved it to USB drive formatted to ExPat but on Windows 8.1 desktop, this file came up as a JPEG image. Any ideas please?

I created a document on new Mac Air 11.6 Pages and saved it to a USB flash drive, formatted with ExFat. However, on Windows 8.1 desktop, this shows and opens as a JPEG file rather than in MS Word. When I try to open it with Word, it cannot be edited. Any ideas please?

Of course Windows (Office) can't open a pages document.... you have to save as word or export to word.
I took it for granted you knew this (that's my fault). Each word processor has it's own language (programing). Saving the pages file to a disk and putting it in a windows machine then opening it is like someone mailing you a newspaper or magazine in a foreign language you do not read and wondering why you only looked at the pictures.
Not only are you new to Apple it's now apparent you are unknowledgeable about using and understanding technology.
This is basic stuff... Some classes or books on how to transfer/exchange files from one application and operating system to another will help you... or ... just stick with one operating system and applications.

Whenever I try to open a file a box appears saying opening...(example: RealPlay.exe) but nothing opens, I only get a choice of "save" or "cancel" and a blank "Untitled" tab opens in Firefox ! ?

Yes--see above info, please.
In detail here's what happens:
the window that responds when I double click to open a file always says "Opening..." and names the file; then says--
which is a: Application; then shows--
from: C:/users/test/dwhelper; and finally asks--
Would you like to save this file?
But it gives me only 1 of 2 options--
either "Save File" or "Cancel"
but never ever actually lets me open that file !
...Also, strangely, a number of my desktop icons have been changed
to Firefox icons (with the shortcut arrow still within), and some of them (like Apple Safari) refuse to return to the original icon when I try to click back to the original icon. Very weird.

I am not a Vista user. I am assuming the icons have changed to a firefox icon because you or; some application or other user; have set the default option for those file types to open with firefox.
You will be able to change that in your registry settings but it is far safer to use some other option. I am not sure how to do that in Vista.
RealPlayer.exe is an executable file, that is it is an application presumably a media player, if you try to open it with firefox; whicjch is what happens if you click its firefox icon; it will just give you the options to open or save the file. If you use the open option it may work as intended.

How can I optimize my browser? I'm having serious issues in Hotmail, forcing me to constantly refresh the page, then I lose all my text when I do!

I'm using Firefox 3.6.8 [& Vista os], and can't find any relevant info in Firefox 'Help' re: optimizing browser.
I wrote Hotmail about my problem below, and they say I need to optimize my browser. They don't give instructions for how to do this in Firefox.... when I search in your 'help' contents, nothing close comes up.
I also have the concern whether someone else is accessing my account, since the error mssg says something to the effect "when you access your acct from more than one computer"....
Please help - Thank you!
This is VERY frustrating, to say the least! I have major deadlines, and Hotmail is so bad I can't get my work done!!
Ever since the 'upgrade', I am forced to almost constantly refresh my browser, and then when I do, my email and all my text goes away! Sometimes I am prompted to refresh when I have just logged in.... It asks me to refresh my browser sometimes once a minute.... sometimes more often!
When I hit refresh, it actually causes the current page to disappear, and it comes back as a blank email with all my text gone! And hitting the 'back' button does not bring me back to the page I lost.
Most of the time I can't even save my work as a draft, because it asks me to refresh [again], and then the email is gone and there's no draft to be found.
This is *very* time consuming!! I've had to figure out how to work around this problem, but my 'fix' is also very tedious and time consuming....
I'm constantly copying my text so I have a current copy of my email, then when I lose the draft, I paste it back in... I often go in circles with this, and eventually I'll have my current draft saved.
Also, sometimes when it prompts me to refresh, just hitting the 'save draft' button a few times will suffice. So at least I won't lose my page, because, sometimes hitting 'save draft' actually works.... Eventually, tho, it'll force me to refresh before I can move on to sending the email.
Please help!! I've been using Hotmail since before MS bought it, and this problem is SO bad I'm considering jumping ship so I can get my work done!!
I don't generally like upgrades, as it usually means there will be problems, and the upgrade was released before being fully tested!.... I don't like being a guinea pig, especially when I have deadlines!
Please help - Thank you!

How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?

How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?
When I first started I made a title page and then pasted in my first story from a .TXT file. After cleaning up I went back to the front a couple of empty lines ahead of the story and typed in the story title. Unlarged the font size and centered it, then

You can't do that. This is what the Pages User Guide, downloadable from your Pages Help menu, says:
Creating and Updating a Table of Contents
Each table of contents (TOC) you create using a Word Processing template lists only the content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master table of contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it must be at the beginning of the document.
You can do it manually though.

When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open. How can I change this?

When I want to attach a file to an e-mail I'm sending from my iCloud account it makes the file show up in the body of the e-mail instead of attaching it as a separate file the receiver can open. How can I change this?

It should be an attachment. Your Mac just displays a preview of certain attachments (such as .pdfs) in the body of the message. A PC, for example, will see it as an attached file rather than a preview.
You can save the attachment on your Mac by Control-clicking on it and selecting Save Attachment.

How can I change (or select) what is being being used when I share, as the file cover. When I Share lets say "Master File" i want to select a frame that is used as the file cover. So when its on my desktop I see this image as the file icon.

I don't think Finder does this (I've tried).
iTunes does though. Where you can set artwork or the "poster frame"...
This may not be what you want but if it helps, I know 2 ways do this is
Open the video in QuicktimePlayer7 | View | Set Poster Frame (even then, you might need to save it as .mov (ie in a 'mov container').
Drag the file into iTunes and set the artwork (as in http://www.dummies.com/how-to/content/adding-album-cover-art-or-images-in-itunes .html)
From there, iTunes will use that frame as the "poster frame" ie the photo/frame that shows when you browse your videos. Which is what you want, but limited to iTunes.
When I do either of these above, the frame I set does not show when exploring files in "Finder" (or in the other Explorer tool I use called "Pathfinder").
So it maybe, that exactly what you want, is not possible.
