How do I stop Pages continually duplicating my documents

When I go into Pages particularly, my documents have been duplicated many times. I have tried to delete them, just keeping the originals, but the next time I go in there are duplicated again. I assume that it is a setting change, but can someone guide me as to where I do this or why it is happening please?

You can't turn it off entirely, but you can change the period of time before documents lock in the Options tab of Time Machine Preferences.

How do I stop pages from locking my documents when I don't access them for a while?

Every time I open up a document I've not looked at for a little while, Pages decides to lock it. It's not a big deal, it's just an annoyance with absolutely no obvious use that I wish I could be rid of.

How can i stop Pages and Numbers JUMPING ALL OVER THE SCREEN. MAKING ME SEASICK! PLEASE HELP

how can i stop Pages and Numbers screen JUMPING ALL OVER the place when i just touch my mouse. i have tried and tried to change the mouse settings - but it is the software. especially Numbers. you can't even see what the page size is until you print. i am so SEASICK! PLEASE HELP.

Thanks for the trouble to reply. this problem only happens with Pages and Numbers for me. i have done all the tricks like restarting. the main problem is that the working space is not 'stable' - it has no 'ends' even on full screen. in Numbers - UNLESS I SET IT TO 25% VIEW (which is way too small) - the actual total 'work space' is way off the grid - so every time i move the mouse the table i am working on zooms off to left or right, at the slightest touch. i have set my mouse to no gestures!
the thing is this did not happen before the latest upgrades.
but thanks anyway. SG.
if you are a techy person - i have another prob. in Mail i am unable to set the SORT / VIEW messages to BY DATE.
(it used to be ok, at one time, too). now it continually reverts to BY SUBJECT oh so annoying !
restarting etc does not change it. resetting preferences does not change it.
maybe i need a new Mac ?
mine is a 27-inch, Mid 2011. running latest.

Urgent: How to have a page CONTINUE to check Database Record?

Hello,
How to have a page CONTINUE to check Database Record? For example, there's a page which itself will periodically check the database, if there's any new data the page will Popup a new page with those data. My question is how can the page keep checking the database?
One of the solution(not good) is that there's a hidden frame with a hidden Servlet, it will refresh every x secs and connect database for every refresh, it seems not a good solution. Please suggest some idea. Another way is using applet.
Someone suggest me to use JMS, I know nothing about it, so is it possible and how,thanks very much
Thank you.
Ken

I don't think JMS is suitable for your solution but I know very little anyway.

You can check the database in a thread as much as you want but your problem will be sending the data to your client when it changes. Normally you can't send anything to the client until it sends a request; that's why the HTML meta-tag for refreshing works. The other way to have the client make repeated requests that was suggested was an applet. This could indeed work, except that you mentioned "mobile agent" as a requirement. Not quite sure what that is, but it's probably not a platform that supports applets. That would be a problem.
On the other hand, if your platform is one that can receive unscheduled messages (in pager style), you could try that approach.

My childs ipod and my ipad have the same email address and itunes ID how do I stop both devices duplicating everything, change email address or set up new itunes account?

my childs ipod and my ipad have the same email address and itunes ID how do I stop both devices duplicating everything, change email address or set up new itunes account?

On each device go to Settings> iTunes and App store> Turn off automatic downloads of Music, Apps and Books. Now a purchase will only go to the device from which it was ordered.

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing. I do not want the page numbers the software automatically places into my document.

How do I add page numbers to my document without the page numbers automatically changing? The title page is blank, I can type in 1 on the 1st typed page, but the #1 automatically goes into the next page and will not change.

Click at bottom of the first page:
Menu > Insert > Section break
Click somewhere in the 2nd page (not the header/footer)
Inspector > Layout > Section > Page Numbers > Start at 1 > Configuration > uncheck use previous headers and footers
Click into the header or footer of the second page:
Menu > Insert > Auto Page Numbers…
If there is anything in the header or footer on the first page that you don't want just select it and delete it.
If you really wanted to manual place page numbers on each page you will have to use a section break between each and every page. I can't imagine that would be useful.

How do I add page numbers to a document in Pages 5.2

How do I add page numbers to a document in Pages 5.2? I'm sure there's some way to do this but it's less obvious than in the previous version of Pages.

Click on one of the Header or Footer fields and you will get a pop-up asking if you want to add page numbers, and a choice of formats.
You also may use Insert > Page Number.

How can i stop i tunes duplicating all my songs, sometimes i only have to turn it on for it to have done it??

How can i stop itunes duplicating most or all of my songs, i dont seem to do anything and it duplicated something again!!

With your itunes window open, click the iTunes menu at the top of your screen, beside the apple. Click Quit iTunes at the bottom of the menu to ensure it's actually quit.
Hold option (same as alt) on your keyboard. Do not let it go. Click your itunes icon on your dock, while continuing to hold option. After a very short moment, you should see the library window with the described items show up...
You can then create a new library on your external drive to contain your movies. Keep in mind, though, you'll have to repeat the above to select which library you want to use.

How do I stop Pages 5.2.2 from opening on start up

When I start up my MBP, Pages opens along with Safari. It sits there in the Dock and does the "bounce" about 50 times driving me nuts. How can i stop it from opening. I can't find anyplace to do this in settings.
Maverick 10.9.5

Menu > Apple > System Preferences > Users & Groups > Your Account > Login Items > uncheck Pages
Sounds like it is trying to open a damaged file, hold down the shift key when starting Pages and it will ignore the previous document.

How can I stop Pages converting the second letter in a postcode into lowercase?

Ever since I had a new upgrade to Pages last year it converts the second letter of a postcode to lowercase even though I have the caps lock on. How can I stop it doing this? eg SW15 1QZ becomes Sw15 1QZ.

Try:
Menu > Pages > Preferences > Auto-Correction > uncheck Fix Capitilization
or anything else there that might apply.

How can I stop Pages automatically detecting and converting hyperlinks

Whenever I type or insert a web address or email address in Pages 5.1 it automatically converts it to a hyperlink. Even if I edit it and remove the link, it still adds it back again later while editing the document. How can I stop this happening?

Menu > Edit > Substitutions > Show Substitutions > uncheck Smart Links

How can I stop Pages from changing the date of a document?

It seems that at some point not long ago, I set Pages to use the current date when I use a template that I made. But now, when I open an existing document that was made with that template, the date is changed to the current date. I certainly do not want that to happen. Does anyone know what I can do to stop Pages from doing this? Thanks so much for any input.
Al
Update: Immediately after posting this question, I found the simple answer: double clicking the date and unchecking the 'automatic update' box.

Right click on the date to change its behavior and once you have fixed it resave your template.

How can I stop pages from automatic reloading, I am aware of the option in advanced, but it does not work for pages like Yahoo News and Drudge Report.

I am trying to stop pages from being able to automatically reload. Sites such as Drudge Report and now Yahoo News anre reloading before I have a chance to read them and it confuses me due to a disability besides just being annoying. I have found the option in tools-advanced-accessibility and checked it but they still reload. And I did close Firefox and restart.
I am using version 3.6.8 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722
Thanks

The Drudge Report site has a script to reload after 3 minutes:
var timer = setInterval("autoRefresh()", 1000 * 60 * 3);
function autoRefresh(){self.location.reload(true);}
The Yahoo page probably has something similar.
You can try NoScript to see if you can block that refresh.
