I am a teacher and I would like to format my page in PAGES to have lines...similar to that of lined paper. Is this possible?

Hi Jay,
I've played with this before, but I was never happy with the result. I gave it another shot to answer your question, and I'm pretty pleased with this result. I'll say that you have a lot of latitude for adjustments in this template, so don't take it as being restrictive to what I'm illustrating. For instance, you can easily vary the line spacing, the weight of the lines, the color, etc.
In this example, the pitch of the lines is 32 points per line, blue stroke, and I placed a light yellow shape in the background. Here's the approach...
Open a blank Word Processing Template.
View > Show Layout.
Pages Preferences > Rulers > Ruler Units: Points.
Insert > Table.
Set the Table to 1-column, 0 Header Rows, and Footer Rows, Row Height = 32 points.
In the Wrap Inspector, set the table to Floating, and Does NOT cause Wrap.
Align the Top Left of the Table with the top Left of the Text Area.
Increase the Column Width until the single column extends all the way across the Text Area.
Increase the number of Rows until the table just fills the vertical Text Area of the page layout, plus one row..
Set the Outside Cell Borders to None.
Set the Mid Horizontal borders to Blue.
With the entire Table Selected, Arrange > Send Object to Background. Format >Advanced > Move Objects to Section Master, Arrange > Lock
If you want the colored background, Insert > Object > Rectangle. Graphics Inspector > Stroke > None. Color > your choice.
Stretch the Shape to cover the entire page size. Arrange > Send Object to Background. Format > Advanced > Send Objects to Section Master.
If the colored object is obscuring the lines, then: Arrange > Send Backward. In either case, Arrange > Lock.
Paste a good size paragraph (several lines) into the document.
Select the text. In the Text Inspector, set line spacing to Exactly and 32 Points.
Inspect the alignment of the Text and the Lines. If you are not pleased, Select the Table and bump it up or down with the vertical Arrow keys.
If you are satisfied, with the overall effect, Select all the Text and Type: Click here and enter text. Select the text "Click here and enter text." and Format > Advanced > Define as Placeholder Text. Lastly, File > Save as Template.
As I mentioned at the outset, you can easily modify these instructions to increase or decrease the number of lines per page, the type size, etc.
If you want to email me, I'll send you a copy of the template I displayed here.
Regards,
Jerry

My PC Harddrive died along with all the CD's that I have saved to the Itunes library. My IPOD touch has the library still so I would like to send the data from the IPOD to the PC to restore my library. Is this possible?

Yes, by using a third-party utility such as Phone to PC or Phone to Mac.

Problem to recover my list of music I bought : I changed my computer !

Hi, you are supposed to back-up your library (just like any other important data) and take it with you when you move computers. Imagine moving house but not taking your possessions with you. Your new house would be empty. It works the same way with computers and your files, at least for now. iTunes is becoming a cloud service so that, like Gmail, or Facebook, all your data is available from wherever you log in, but the music aspect of that service is currently only available to US users. If you have data on an iPod or other device your should be able to transfer it back to iTunes.
If you haven't already dones so, autohorise your new computer to your iTunes account and then open Edit > Preferences > Store. In the Automatic Downloads section you can tick Apps and Books, US users should also get an option for Music. After enabling these options all your existing purchases in the relevant categories that are still available in the store should be available to download. Even with the cloud backing up is a good idea.
If you don't have access to any other copies of your media, and are not based in the US, then if you contact the iTunes store via the report a problem link in your account and politely explain the circumstances they may sanction a further download although they are under no obligation to do so.
Note that even if they do this once they are certainly unlikely to do it again. I noticed a rant elsewhere on the boards from someone moaning that they wouldn't restore his purchases after a second hard drive failure. To paraphrase Oscar Wilde: To lose your data once may be regarded as a misfortune. To lose it twice looks like carelessness.
In future you should make sure that you keep adequate backups of all your purchases, your iTunes library files and anything else you wouldn't want to have to go to the trouble of re-ripping. Ideally you should backup the entire iTunes folder.
Fast backup for iTunes library (Windows Only)
Grab SyncToy 2.1, a free tool from MS. This can be used to copy your entire iTunes library (& other important data folders) onto another hard drive or network share. You can then use SyncToy periodically to synchronize or echo your library to the backup. A preview will show which files need to be updated giving you a chance to spot unexpected changes and during the run only the new or updated files will be copied saving lots of time. And if your media is all organized below the main iTunes folder then you should also be able to open the backup library on any system running the same version of iTunes.

In iTunes if you have your contacts synced to Address Book just open address book on your computer and start editing.

I would like to burn pictures to a disk in a certain order, not according to file numbers -is this possible?

Im using IPhoto and would like to burn an album to a DVD. In the album, I have put the pictures in the order I want them. But it appears when I export them to burn on a DVD, they go in numerical order. Is there a way to burn the album with the pictures in the order I want them to be in?

No.
Files don't have an order. They're just on the disk. The FInder can view them in a number of ways: sorted by name, date, size etc, but that's all. The only way to reliably get them to show in a preferred order is to name them... Pic_01.jpg, Pic_02.jpeg etc.
Fast way to do this:
Create an Album in iPhoto, drag the images you want to the album and arrange them as you prefer.
Then select all and go Photos -> Batch Change
Set the Title to... Text, and add, well whatever is appropriate.
Check the box to append a number to each photo.
So now they are all there in order as Text 01, Text 02 etc.
Now Export them. File -> Export
In the export dialogue there are a number of options that you can read about here:
https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4921
But from the point fo view of naming, in the export dialogue choose to use the Title.
Complete the export to a folder on the desktop.
Now you have a folder of files called Text01, Text 02 and so on.
Burn that to disk.

I have iMovie 10.0.2 and I would like to burn a movie to a DVD. I can't figure out how to do this.

Any help I would be grateful for! Thanks

Make your movie and then "Share to File".
In the next dialog window change the dimension to 480 and use that file with iDVD.
OP: Do you have iDVD? Most newer Macs don't have it.
If you don't have it, go to youtube.com and search for "Burn files to a DVD on Mac" and burn the file that QuickTimeKirk suggested. Just keep in mind that is won't create a DVD with menues and such. It will just be a file on a DVD. It should work in a DVD player, but you'll want to test that to make sure.
Another option would be to use a thumb drive (handy if you have over 5 GB of videos) or an AppleTV (which is a nice way to view home movies and photos on your HDTV).

HT204053 I recently purchased Pages for my MAC notebook and I would like to put it on my new IPad. Can someone please tell me how to do this?

Can someone please tell me how to get the "Pages" Ap that I recently downloaded to my MacBook Pro downloaded on my new IPad? I have done everything I have read about but it does not seem to work. Do I have to buy a seperate ap for my iPad?
Thanks!

You would have to buy Pages for your ipad from the App store.
The program you bought is for your Mac. it does not work on your ipad. They are completely different platforms.

I would like to edit a shot with a person moving whilist everything around them is frozen. Is this possible?

Please help

eeeasy, have a look
https://youtu.be/4OQDTVPEpJ8
ok, just kiddin' ....
What Luis said:
green screen the movin' person into a 'frozen' pic.
Don't move the camera (no pan, no zoom).
An use a masking tool, so the movin' person could go 'behind' persons/things. This would add some depth to scenery.
I once did that for a test, with masking:
https://youtu.be/DrkQrrw1GUk
(afaik, it's called 'future freeze' )
but that is vice versa what you like to accomplish:
... that's done with masking and Motions Motion-Tracker, to keep the freeze in place....
