How do I stop pages from adding sections?

Extraordinarily dissapointed with MAC. Considering returning to Word after many years. I simply want to add individual pages to my project but the new pages turns them into blocked 'sections' and won't allow me to move the pages around! VERY frustrating.

How do I stop msging from adding a "1" to a 10 digit number?

How do I stop messaging from adding a 1 to a 10 digit number?

It is clean, I set up the contacts card, and reentered the 10 digit number after the second fail message.
I entered: xxxxxxxxxx and the display on my contact card is (xxx) xxx-xxxx.
Might the carrier-provider be the issue?
Thank-you.

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.

How do I stop pages from automatically continuing to number or letter lists

I am trying to create a document in which i am answering questions. It is supposed to be in this type of format:
I. Residents
#1 Household
a) how many people live in the home
b)
c)
d)
and so forth. I got partway through and now pages is automatically adding the lettering everytime I press the return key. I cannot figure out to stop this from happening, I cannot delete the lettering/numbering to continue typing. Please help. I just want to manually put in the numbers or letters as I need them, not as the program thinks I want them.

Hi Jenn,
Pages Preferences > Auto Correction > untick Automatically detect lists.
To remove numbers from what you already have, select the text then
Inspector > Text > List > No Bullets

How do I stop pages from scrolling when i'm creating an interactive PDF?

I'm attempting to create an interactive PDF portfolio with links from the homepage to gallery pages and projects etc, but it seems useless if I can't stop the PDF pages from scrolling? Can anyone help?
I have InDesign CS5.5 and Adobe Acrobat Pro.
Thanks,
Elizabeth

I had the same problem with an interactive PDF I created out of InDesign CS5.5. Not sure if what I found will work for a PDF portfolio but here is what I did.
After creating my document and exporting it as an interactive PDF I opened it in Acrobat X. I went to file/properties and opened the dialogue box. I then clicked on the "initial view" tab and checked the "hide toolbars" and "hide window controls" clicked okay, closed the dialogue box and re-saved the PDF.
The next time I launched it you could not mouse click to navigate the pages anymore, you had to use the interface I had created. The only caveat is that the keyboard arrows and the mouse scroll wheel still work but if you click anywhere on the page other than my buttons the pages now stay put.
Hope this works for you,
Phil

How do I stop iTunes from adding music on network shares?

I find no way to stop iTunes from looking at network shares and therefore I have 2 copies of all mu music. I have a home network server and have a backup of my ripped music there. But I darn well don't want to have two copies showing up in iTunes and on my iPod.
I find no options in preferences that seem to be related. Everything is off in the Sharing tab. what am I missing?

Soulgazer,
If you are downloading from the iTunes Store, the song will always go to your iTunes library.
If you are downloading from another website, the behavior is controlled by a setting in your browser. For example, if you use Firefox, go to Options > Applications and make sure that the MP3s are set for "Always Ask." By doing this, the songs will be downloaded to your computer, but no action will be taked until you do something manually.

How do I stop Pages from reformatting my existing documents?

If I open an existing document, created in Pages (pre-update version) it now reformats my documents with new fonts, inserts bullet point tables and generally takes a perfectly good document and makes a hash of it. Does anyone know how to go back to the old version of Pages or stop this version from ruining my documents & causing time wasting reformatting back to what I created? BTW this is on my iMac which is running the latest version of Maverick & the latest version of Pages. On my Macbook Pro whilst the system shows I did update Pages to version 5 it hasn't actually done that so I'm lucky I can still see my documents as I intended. Most of the documents involve recipes which have lists of ingredients & methods but DON'T NEED BULLETS!

In the Australian App Store it is within a whisker of "I hate it" reaching 70% of users.
"I hate it + don't like it" = 80%

How to I stop pages from redirecting, whent he advanced setting that should prevent it does NOT work?

Here is the situation. I have the advanced setting checked to warn me when a sit tries to redirect or reload a page, which is supposed to prevent it from happening. However, it isn't working. A page tried to redirect, and I saw the little banner that said Firefox prevented it, then it happened again immediately, with the same banner, and then the page went ahead and redirected, and I did NOT click to allow it. It was as though the page redirect was tried three times, stopped two, then allowed. There has to be some way to stop this entirely. To be clear, I already have it checked under Advanced/General to "Warn me when websites try to redirect or reload the page." It simply isn't stopping the redirect. Yes, I have antivirus protection, and yes, it works. The page that s reloading is a Sims 3 store page. It's supposed to be a video, on the store site, to watch for points. Most re just that, but today some have sown up that, instead of playing a video, it redirects to some other site. One was a health site, with no video to even view! cookies galore, though, which have now been blocked.
Any help appreciated in preventing this from happening in the future!

All good ideas in general, but nothing new installed that I didn't want, and no unknown or new add-ons, either. Great advice, and nicely detailed, though, which should help others that might have those things causing problems. I have seen that sort, when another family member wasn't careful and had an annoying toolbar installed, that was practically taking over when they were online. Took a bt of doing to get that one out; uninstall was the start, but had to clear out some "stray" registry entries as well.
I did notice that if I do not click to close the little pop up banner, it doesn't redirect. Weird, but it worked. I don't know why closing the message without telling it to allow would have that effect, but it did. Also blocked ll the blasted cookies that were showing up, which is something I track, anyway. I can't stand having this or that site track, even if settings are to accept only from sites I visit. Google is BAD about that sort of thing, and some of the social media sites.
Appreciate the tips, in any case.

How can I stop pages from wanting to make every document into an outline?

Every time I try to create a document in Pages, it insists in turning it into an outline. How do I type a staright document?

Have you tried starting from a different template?
As far as I can tell the Outline setting is contained in the document, so this should only happen if you are starting from a template that was saved with Show Document Outline selected.

How do I stop Pages from opening when I log back in? Login items are not ticked.

Prior to Yosemite I had trouble with Pages where it closed down the app when I closed a document.
I was given a command line to put in the 'Terminal' to deactivate Pages. This worked.
That command was - -g NSDisableAutomaticTermination -bool TRUE/False. But that isn't recognised any longer when I reverse the True/False.
But I now don't want Pages to open automatically when I Log in.
The box is not ticked for Pages in System Preferences- Users- Login Items.

It needs to be removed from the list, not just unticked.

How do I stop Thunderbird from adding adresses from incoming emails

I don't want Thunderbird to automatically add email addresses to my personal address book.
Also, when creating or forwarding email, how can I use my personal address book?

Could it be your clicking on show remote content and selecting "show remote content for this sender"? Hence adding the sender to your address book with the show remote content flag set and blaming Thunderbird for collecting the addresses?

How do I stop Itunes from adding songs to my library?

Is there anyway to make Itunes not automatically add songs to my library upon retrieving them? The second I download a song onto my computer, Itunes automatically adds it to the library. Is there a way to turn this off, or a place I can download to that Itunes can't access?

Soulgazer,
If you are downloading from the iTunes Store, the song will always go to your iTunes library.
If you are downloading from another website, the behavior is controlled by a setting in your browser.

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.

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 iChat from adding this person?

Ever had someone who's not on your buddy list IM you? And you respond, of course. Well suddenly you look on your buddy list and there's their name. Why? Don't know. Did you add them? Nope. Yet there they are.
I can't seem to find a preference for this anywhere, is this just something I have to deal with? I know it's being done for convenience but... Honestly, it's not convenient.

Hi Doug,
Have you ever used the AIM for Mac or AIM application on a PC ?
The AIM application whichever platform it is on includes a Recent Buddies Group to which all new contact are added by default.
iChat does not normally use this group but it can become activated if there are Buddies in it and they then appear in your Buddy List, and new contacts continue to be added.
The way around this is to use the AIM application to move Buddies out of this group and then delete the group.
