I can't save documents in Pages.

I can't save documents in Pages. I get a "file does not exist" error message. I've tried changing the file name, length, and location. To no avail. This is only sporadic.

Hey fruhulda,
I have a similar problem although I'm running OSX 10.9.5. I'v just started to completely remove pages and attempt a reinstall. I did the search for the plist file. There was only one file with the com.apple.iwork.pages name but it did not have the .plist extension, even when I checked the info page. Is this the same file?
I'm not sure I want to update to Yosemite yet, but it looks like I may have to in order to continue to work with my pages documents, unless the reinstall works.

Is it possible to save documents in pages as .docx?

Hi have just installed the app "pages" on my ipad. In combination with WebDav nav I can change Word documents on my ipad and synchronize to my laptop.
On my laptop I use Microsoft Office 2010, documents are saved as .docx. Is it possible to save documents in pages with extension .docx (I can only see .doc opttion for Word).
Kind regards,
Saskia

The answer is not "no". The best answer is probably DropBox. You install DropBox on your phone and on your computer. You save/copy the documents you want to keep in DropBox and on your phone you can open them. Better still, DropBox for iPhone and iPad permits you to "start" the file, which makes a copy and keeps it directly on your device (instead of downloading each time).
You can put PDFs, Microsoft Word Docs, Excel Spreadsheets, iWork documents, images, movies, HTML, plain text, etc. and view them on your phone and take them with you. Not only that, but you can also access them from any computer using a web browser (in case you lose your phone). I do this with my travel docs all the time,
The other answer is that the iBooks app permits you to load PDFs into it through iTunes. Take your PDF and drag it into the the iTunes window to add it to the Books library in iTunes. Then, connect your iPad, select which books you want to sync (in this case, the "Books" are your PDF documents), and sync. Ta-da -- your files in iBooks. It should be noted that DropBox permits you to copy PDF documents into iBooks too (and images into the Photos app).

Security Update 2012-001 Bricks Rosetta programs
I've outlined the restore proceedure here, it covers a lot of bases and explains what is going to occur so please don't be intimidated it's a LOT easier that it appears.
Take your time and comprehend the steps involved and you'll be backup up like before in short order.
Restore method.
#1 Backup your personal data off the machine.
If you get a gray screen or some other hangup upon booting, try holding the Shift key down while booting to enter Safe Mode.
Backup files off the computer (not to TimeMachine). If you don't have a external drive, get one and connect to the USB/Firewire port and simply drag and drop copy your User folder to the external drive, it will copy all your files. It's best to have two backups of your data off the machine when trying to restore.
Disconnect all drives now to prevent any mistakes from occuring.
#2 Try Restoring from a TimeMachine or hold option bootable clone
If you have TimeMachine drive, or a hold the option key bootable clone use that to erase and restore from before the Security Update occured.
Obviously if you didn't make a recent backup before the update, your going to have to skip to Step #3.
Note: A TM restore can take a awfully long time, a clone restore takes under 2 hours in most cases.
If you don't know how to restore from TM drive
http://pondini.org/OSX/Home.html
#3 Reinstall OS X 10.6 from disk
If no recent TM or bootable clone then:
Get out your 10.6 install disk and make sure it's clean and polished (very soft cloth and a bit of rubbing alcohol, no scratches) If your disk is borked, you'll have to order a new one from Apple with your serial number.
Hold c boot off the 10.6 disk (wired keyboard, internal optical drive), use Disk Utility First Aid to >Repair Disk and Permissions of your internal drive (do not format or erase!!), Quit DU and simply re-install 10.6.
Note: Simply reinstalling 10.6 version from disk (without erasing the drive) only replaces 10.6.8 with 10.6.x and bundled Apple programs, won't touch your files (backup anyway) or most programs, unless they installed a kext file into OS X itself. (only a few on average do this)
Note: If Disk Uitlity can't repair the drive, then come back to seek further assistance and make sure you have a copy of your data off the machine.
#4 Update to 10.6.8 without Security Update 2012-001
Reboot and log in, update to 10.6.8 via Software Update, but EXCLUDE THE Security Update 2012-001 by checkinig the details and unchecking the blue check box.
#5 Reinstall any non-working third party programs
When you reboot, make sure to reinstall any programs that require kext files installed into OS X, you'll know, they won't work when you launch them or hang for some reason.
If for some freakish reason you get gray screen at any time when booting (possible it might occur when you reinstall older programs), hold the shift key down while booting (Safe Mode, disables kext files) and update your installed third party software so it's compatible with 10.6.8.
https://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Note: For most users likley Step #3 and #4 is likley all that is needed to be done.
That's it really.

Unverified hacks
Note: You may see a "hack" for this issue floating around, it has had mixed results as people's software is different.
You may want to try it, but it's at your own risk. It has worked fast for some and not at all for others, hopefully over time it will work for all.
The above methods I outline are Apple approved restore methods + based upon experience here and not a quick fix, but are sure to work as Apple recommends such steps themselves.
If at any time you feel this is beyond your capability, please seek local Mac/PC professional assistance before you lose your data.
In fact my steps above are very simple, you might want to have a family member or friend perfrom the proceedure in about a hour or two.
If you don't have any backup, please maintain at least a TM drive, just hook up a new blank external drive and TM will ask you to make a backup, takes some time so let it work.
If your a bit more skilled, a option bootable clone is much superior than TM drive.
Good Luck

I am new and I can't figure out how I can delete a document in pages

I am new and I can't figure out how I can delete a document in pages. Please help

JM,
Command-Click the filename at the top of the Pages window. In the list that pops up, click on the second item, the parent folder of the document. A finder window will open. Control-click the highlighted file and select "Move To Trash". Close the document.

Can I save documents from my PC to the icloud and access them from another computer?

Can I save documents from my PC to icloud and access them from anywhere?

This forum is for OSX users.
Only within OSX you can store documents in iCloud, basically linked to iWork softwares.

Suddenly, I can't save Safari web pages as PDFs. ???

I often download website documents to my Mac Pro by choosing the "Save as PDF" option in the Print dialog box. Suddenly, that option is "grayed-out" and unavailable. There's a Save as Postcript option which ultimately fails, and I can print the document on paper, which is not an acceptable alternative.
This problem appeared after I downloaded the latest System 10.4.9 update, but I can't say whether that's the cause.
I can still save Safari pages as PDF files on my G4 Power Book, also running 10.4.9, but not on the Mac Pro. Both computers have Adobe CS2's PDF capabilities in addition to Apple's Preview software.
Any ideas? (Previous posts on similar problems did not have an answer.)

Hello David:
Hard to tell what happened.
I would do a couple of things:
Clear the Safari cache.
Trash the preference file (com.apple.safari.plist) and restart.
If that does not help, you could (depending on how important the function is to you) run an archive and install:

TS3991 can i save documents saved on word to icloud

Can i save doucments i have created on word and save them to icloud

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Of course. Open http://www.icloud.com, log in with your Apple ID, select Pages and drag your Word documents to the window to upload them into iCloud.
After doing that, you will be able to edit your Word documents from any PC or Mac through http://www.icloud.com, any Mac with Pages installed and OS X Mountain Lion or later, and any iPhone, iPad or iPod touch with Pages installed

Can't open document in pages.

I can't open one of my documents in pages on my iPad. I've reinstalled pages, rebooted the iPad and simply turned it off and on but nothing is solves my problem. Any ideas? Really need this document!

If you use iCloud, download the document from iCloud.com and try to open the document on your computer. If you can open it, save it under a different name and send it back to iCloud by dragging the document into the browser window. Launch. Pages on the iPad and see if the renamed document will open OK. If it does, delete the old document.

Can't email document from pages

I cannot email any document from pages . Kept getting message that says" can't send or save message", even though i get the swoosh message sent sound. This has never happened before.

I just tried it on my iPad and it went through.
Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

I would like to know, is I can save files from pages (and other typing apps), to Dropbox, and still keep the footnotes if I save it in word format. I want to be able to open it on my PC, and have a normal word document with all the corrections from the iPad.

Can't open documents in pages

Hi. I have an ipad 2 and purchased "pages" to use on it. Something seems to have gone wrong with it. I had to delete it and when I reinstall I get all the folder I had created. I can open the folders but I can not open the documents inside the folder. The document seem grey and they have a bar running across he bottom of the document. I can see all the documents in the cloud store but can't get them onto th ipad. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong. Thanks. DMJ

Does that error message say any more than "The document xxx can't be opened"? Do any Pages documents open or is it all of your previously created Pages documents? Have you tried opening a .txt (text) or RTF document with Pages?
With most programs, suddenly not functioning as it should is often a problem of corrupt preferences. Have you tried opening these Pages documents in another user account? If that works, the problem almost certainly is corrupt preferences in your user account. Go to HD > Users > [your account] > Library > Preferences & delete the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist, empty the Trash & then restart Pages.

How can I save one specific page from a .pdf file into it's own .pdf file?

I've got this 4 page pdf file, and I need to save just one page from it. I know that there's the option of using the select tool and doing a copy/paste to an image file, but I'm trying to keep it as a .pdf and I can't seem to figure it out. Any help would be much appreciated.

Perhaps this solutions workability will depend a lot on what type and generation of PDF you got and the tech built into the program suggested....
But ! (never-the-less)
You could try to see if the "Free PDF to Word Doc Converter version 1.1" will work for you....
I know it will not get you a single page .PDF but if the program works you could get a .Doc of which you might have the possibility to save a single page after editing it !(?)
