I want to make changes to pages document then have it update in iCloud, i want to make changes to pages document then have it update in iCloud

Keynote and Pages work just fine on my phone and ipad and sync with iCloud with no ploblems. My proble is when I access Keynote and Pages in iCloud from my Mac, it requires me to download the presentation or document in one of three choices. I down download it and make changes in Keynote or Pages; but I can not get it to update back in iCloud. If anyone could provide me with this secret step by step process I would be eternally greatful. Thank you

I just purchased Pages for my Mac assuming that it would sync with my iPad and iPhone ...
Boy, am I an idiot, thinking that Apple would design something to make my life easier, rather than try to extract more and more revenue from me and control each and everything I do in their "ecosystem."
I hope you get the fact that I'm being sarcastic here, I'm just a little upset that Pages does nothing of the sort: It ONLY syncs between mobile devices, not to your Mac desktop.
And so I look up from my lowly position and ask the great Apple: What is the point? Why can't I seamlessly sync from my desktop to my mobile device? Without this kind of functionality, iCloud is a joke ...

Why can't i make changes to my pages document? I want to amend text in a table but it wont allow me do it

This never happened before. I have a table in a pages doc in which I have text to amend. The cursor will not click in the box and I cannot type or delete text. Any ideas?

Object can be locked in Pages so they can't be moved or changed. Here is the text from Pages User Guide which you can download from your Pages Help menu
Locking and Unlocking Floating Objects
You can lock floating objects to avoid inadvertently moving them as you work. Inline objects cannot be grouped or locked.
After you lock individual or grouped objects, you can’t move, delete, or modify them in any way until you unlock them. However, a locked object can be selected, copied, or duplicated; when you copy or duplicate a locked object, the new object is also locked.
To lock a floating object:
Select the objects you want to lock, and then choose Arrange > Lock.
To unlock a floating object:
Select the objects you want to unlock, and then choose Arrange > Unlock.

New to Mac. I exported (aka Saved As) a Pages document as a PDF. I want to make some more changes to the original doc but I can't find it on my computer. Did it get replaced by the PDF version?

See title Bloch for my question

When you open a Word document in Pages it is converted to a new .pages document and you will be prompted to save it when you close it. That will save it to a .pages file which will then contain all the automatically saved versions from then on.
You export to a .pdf file, this retains the .pages version but creates a.pdf copy of it.
I don't know what you mean by "red X'ing" the document unless you mean you are closing it by clicking on the red button at the top left of the window.
I assume you are using Mac OSX 10.8, not Windows XP, which will auto save for you when you close the document.

Hi, I'm working on a document in PAges 09. Any idea on how to change the document color? I want it black instead of white.

Nichelle,
You must add your own background object, and then make it Black.
Insert > Shape > Rectangle
In the Wrap Inspector, set to Floating.
In the Graphic Inspector, set Stroke to None and set Fill to Black.
Grab the corners of the document and stretch the document to cover the entire page.
Back in the Wrap Inspector select "In Background".
Format > Advanced > Move Object to Section Master.

I have created a email in Fireworks and wanted to make a line of text a hyperlink that would take the viewer to a page on my website. I want to attach the final document to my email and sending it out.

I have created a email in Fireworks and wanted to make a line of text a hyperlink that would take the viewer to a page on my website. I want to attach the final document to my email and sending it out.

1) design for no wider than 600px (otherwise it may not fit in email clients).
2) Slice up your newsletter design in segments for images and html areas with the slice tool.
3) add the <a href="http://www.yourwebsite.com">my website</a> link in one of the html areas.
4) export as generic html 4 code, and put the images in a separate folder.
5) upload all the images to your website's server in a folder (you cannot embed images in an email newsletter - they must link to externally hosted images).
6) change all the links in your html page to the ones that were loaded up on your server. For example, an image's source link would work out similar to this: <img src="http://www.yourwebsite.com/newsletter/image1.jpg" alt="alternate description of your image">
7) open the newsletter with working external images in Chrome or Firefox. Select the entire page content (ctrl-a), and copy it (ctrl-c).
8) create a new email in your mail client. Place the cursor in the body. Paste the newsletter (ctrl-v).
9) send your newsletter to hundreds of recipients, and get blacklisted by several email servers. Receive warning messages from your own hosting provider not to spam other users' email accounts.
10) realize this is too much of a hassle, and instead opt for a service such as MailChimp.
(The result in (9) depends on whether you sent out your newletter only to acquaintances, or not. But even then you might be warned off.)
Btw, many email clients turn off images in an email by default. You must provide the most important content as html, not as images.

I have tried back ups and restoring, resetting, and even updating the pages app. And nothing has worked.

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.

HT1040 trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.

trying to make an ibook and have 800 photos, want format of 8 photos/page, but default is not that- "create" the initial book from iphoto "album" it loads less than 800 pics and then when i change layout i have blanks.
if i clear the book so that it is all blanks and then try to load in the pictures i have it loses the chronology of the pictures that i had established in the album.
is there a way to import photos into an ibook template and keep the original order of the photos without having to do them one at a time?
also, is there a way to insert a photo rather than just dragging it? i have tried the cut and paste funciton but it doesn't seem to work, the target site doesn't seem to register with iphoto.
many thanks for your help.

Photos are added to book in chronological order. So if you want to add them to a book in the order you have placed them manually in an album do the following:
1 - select all the photos in the album.
2 - use the Photos ➙ Batch Change ➙ Date menu option as shown here. Select any date and add 1 minute between photos.
3 - select just one photo from the album and create a book from it.
4 - in the book click on the Options button ➙ Book Settings button and make sure the checkbox for Auto-layout pages is unchecked.
5 - drag the album with your book photos onto the book icon and they will be imported into the Photos tray of the book in your pre-determined order but not into the pages themselves.

I want to remove the header and footer when printing from my mac, i can do this in the Page Setup on my PC but not on the Mac. I can do it each time I print but then it resets. How do I make a universal change?

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened

Go to the "File" menu, then "Print." The window that appears will have three drop-down menus at the top.
The first is labeled "Printer",
The second is "Presets".
The third is unlabeled but has "Copies & Pages" selected by default.
Click on that third menu and select "Firefox" near the bottom of the list.

The quickest way is to print to a new PDF and use shrink to fit. Be sure you set the paper size in the printer properties. Normally this is not recommended, but it is a quick approach. You would loss any bookmarks and other markup with the print.

I have a long numbers document, that I'd like to make more print friendly. It is a list of my DVD's that I just listed one after the other (1-200) when I tried to print it, it would be 18 pages, can I change it to be more like columns side by side to save

S,
I assume that you also have Pages on your computer (or some other capable WP program). I also assume that you have eliminated any unnecessary columns, so you have a 1-column table in Numbers.
When it comes time to print, Copy the entire Table: Click on the table name in the Sheets Pane and Command-C.
Switch to Pages, open a blank WP template and set the number of columns to 3 or so. With the Text Insertion Cursor flashing on the first line of the first column of the blank template, Command-V. Your table should paste into the Pages document as an Inline Object and will Wrap on the page as you desire. Then Print in Pages.

Using 10.6 iweb 3.04 . I make a small change on a page , then choose publish changes , but seems to take hours and seems to want to publish the whole site , not just a small change?

Doing the following wouldn't hurt either:
delete the iWeb preference files, com.apple.iWeb.plist and com.apple.iWeb.plist.lockfile, that resides in your Home() /Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
Click to view full size
launch iWeb and try again.

I am trying to change the page number format in a section of my document. I want 2 sections to have 2 different page number formats. How can I do this?

I have 2 sections in my Pages document. I am using Insert Auto Pages in footers to number my pages, but when I try to change the number format for one section it changes the format to the same as my change for the other section. I want auto page number in each section but want each section's page numbers to have different formats. I have managed to get the auto page numbering to begin separately in each section, but just can't get the formats to be different. There must be a way to do this. Anyone know how?

You look on the right edge of this page in the box entitled [More Like This].
The dumb machine was able to find threads containing available answers .
Using the Search feature with a simple request like
page number AND format AND section
would have give these links without opening a new thread.
