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 AE from changing my workspace when loading a project?

    How do I stop AE from changing my workspace when loading a project?  I've looked everywhere and can't find it.  I work on a lot of projects that a peer works on and his screen size is smaller and his workspace is different than mine.  Is there a setting I can change so that when I open one of his projects my AE window doesn't change?

    No. That behavior is intended. The problem is probably that your colleague uses the "Standard" workspace in a custom configuration and since it is matched by name, it emsses up your "Standard" workspace as well. Therefore advise your colleague to create his own workspace with a custom name and/or create your own custom workspace to be able to more quickly reset things.

  • 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 iTunes from compressing audio/photos when transferred to IOS device? (iPad

    Hello,
         I have noticed that 13GB of photo's only equals around 3GB on the iPad and iPhone. I noticed the same thing with audio. Although, I do not notice the compression with video.
         My question is, how do I stop it from compressing photo's if I want to? I understand it saves space, but what if I wanted to email the full size photo to someone. This also may defeat the purpose of some editing programs. I would like to know how to do the same with audio.
         It does not affect the original files in anyway, correct? Also, I using the manual drag and drop option for Movies and audio. I sync with the photos.

    With syncing photos you can't change how they are synced, iTunes will 'optimise' them when copying them over to the device - and no, the original photos on your computer are not affected, iTunes creates separate 'optimised' versions of the photos on your computer and copies those over.
    If you want the original versions of the photos on your iPad then (and if there were only a few that you wanted full-scale) you could email them to yourself and use 'open in' in the Mail app to copy them to the Photos app, or use the camera connection kit with your iPad to copy them via an SD card to it - photos copied via the kit are copied full resolution, they aren't changed.
    Or there are third-party photo management apps such as Photo Manager Pro which can copy photos to/from your computer via the 'file sharing' section on the device's Apps tab in iTunes, they will be copied as-is - that app can also copy photos to/from it and the Photos app.
    For your music, on the device's Summary tab when connected to your computer's iTunes, under the Options heading have you currently got the 'convert higher bit rate songs to ...' set ?

  • 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 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 you stop Lightroom from automatically making adjustemnts when you are looking at the images?

    There is some kind of auto adjustment happening when I look at my images for the first time.
    Any knowledge of this, I've looked in help and can't find anything.
    Anyone know how to make it stop?
    Usually it looks pretty good, but it would be nice to simply revert if you don't like what it did.
    If you could please e-mail me, I don't really like the format of this forum, so I'm don't know when I'll be back, or where my post will be!
    Thanks!

    Jayme, what you see first is the camera produced jpg (thumbnail) which is done by the camera at the time the shot is taken even if you have set the camera to save as raw. This thumbnail jpg, which is part of the raw file, is required for you to view the image on the camera lcd screen. If it were not produced you would not be able see the image either in the camera or on your computer. Raw files are not in a viewable format until they are processed by a raw converter.
    When you import the raw files into the LR library LR will first display the camera produced thumbnail as a preview until it has been able to convert the raw data. This is done at the LR default settings. Since the LR conversion engine is different from the camera firmware it is not able to produce an exact jpg image. LR does not have the info/ technology used by the camera and uses its own proprietary procedures to produce its own conversion.
    All the camera manufacturers have their own proprietary technology for processing the raw data which is not publicly shared for competitive reasons.
    Tools are provided in LR to allow you to make your own adjustments to the raw data and create an image to your liking. Hopefully even better than what your camera is able to produce. You now have your own "darkroom" to produce your images.
    There are lots of tutorials available to bring your skils up to mark. Have fun. There is a thread in the FAQ which deals with this issue. Every raw converter has its own taste which you can adjust.
