Possibly.
You could test that by dropping a largish image into a test Pages document and duplicating it until your document won't send.
Some eMail clients have ceiling levels for file sizes, as do some receiving servers.
Also test to see if you can simply export your file to pdf, in which case it will be retained on your iPad. That would be a first step.

G5 Won't start up.. I've tried all the tricks I know.

OK.. so the other day I restart my G5 Tower because it was a little sluggish.. haven't restarted in a while so I re-booted ... the grey apple screen comes up.. then the Starting mac osx progress bar loads all the way to the end.. then just hangs... if I left it there for hours it would still be there.. I have tried everything I know and could find on these boards as well as osx help articles.. here is what I have done.
first:
started up from install cd.. tried to repair volume couldn't complete the repair. apparently there are like 40 overlapping files somehow.
second:
ran diskwarrior 3.0.3 got all the way through the process to where it says it is repairing overlapping files then suddenly there is an error and it can't continue.. Did this three times
third:
tried to boot in safe mode.. spinning gear then goes to starting mac osx progress bar and same story .. hangs for eternity.. bar is still moving but I can't get past this screen.
fourth:
booted in single user mode ran fsck 4 times until it said nothing appears to be wrong....
re-booted and same thing happens Starting mac osx screen comes up progress bar loads til the end and never goes any further.
fifth:
Booted from OSX install cd tried to archive and install OS... wouldn't even begin to do this just said there is an error and to try again... Tried this twice.
sixth:
tried booting in target disk mode hoping I could just copy a few essential files I hadn't recently backed up with the intention of doing an erase and install of the whole computer.. couldn't get my laptop to see the G5 HD on the desktop.. opened disk utility on the laptop and it shows up but won't enable any repair options.
So at this point I am at a serious loss. It appears I have a serious problem with something like 40 overlapping files that are causing all this misery but I can't get to the files to delete them.. and nothing I run can repair them
at this point I just want to get in to the HD anyway I can to backup so I can do an erase and install with Leopard. Anyone have any input out there that might be able to help?
PS: I have just enough knowledge of using the terminal to make me a danger to myself.. so if any input you have comes in the form of 500 command lines then please either spell it out in detail so I know exactly what to type and when.. or just please act as though you don't see me flailing my arms on this rapidly sinking ship.

Sounds like possib;y putting the HD in an external Firewire case, (possibly Target mode if that still works), then If DiskWarrior can't fix it, you might try Data Rescue II...

(Has a Free Demo to see if it could or not, but you'll need another drive to recover to).
Or FileSalvage...

to recover what you can.

I updated to ios6 and now iTunes won't recognize my iPod. I have done all the roubleshooting suggested but still no go.

Ever since the ios6 update, my iPod is unresponsive and iTunes doesn't recognize the device. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes and stillno change. I have followed all the recommended steps from the apple support page. Any suggestions?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My mac desktop computer won't start and just beebs

My mac desktop computer won't start it just beens loudly. I don't have any lights showing on the keyboard but can hear the drive switching on. I have unplugged the computer, waited and replugged and waited and then turned it on again without and results. Please help.

If indeed it has a PowerPC processor (the PowerMacs use that, and have been around since early 2006 simultaneously with some of the Intels), see this tip on beeps:

Why can I download Gmail to my mac's mail - but I can not send? I have followed all instructions I can find but it still won't send. Any thoughts?

I have a strong desire to use the native apps on my Mac for mail and calendar - but my new position is using Gmail.
I can send mail and calendar works fine - but I can not send mail. I have followed all the directions and still can't see to get it to work.
Is there a step I am missing? Has anyone else successfully tackled this issue?
Thanks
Bill

Are there any error messages to give us a clue?
There is no 'issue', millions of people use Gmail with a Mac, they send mail so the 'issue' is with your machine so we'll concentrate on that. Post the SMTP settings that are in use for this account, post the authentication method as well, tell me whether you have activated Google's '2 Factor' authentication method if you have.

I purchased Adobe Acrobat Pro XI for my iMac (Mavericks 10.9.4), downloaded it and have attempted to install it 10 or more times. I have done all the usual maintenance steps (repair permissions, repair disk, etc) and it still won't install. All goes well until the installer gets to "Running Package Scripts" then it stalls or hangs up and does not finish the installation. It runs and runs and runs. It never finishes. I wind up having to force quit the installer. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

Hi jtento ,
Kindly enable the Root Account for the MAC and then try the installation there (in the root account). Please find below the URL to enable the root account.
OS X Mavericks: Enable and disable the root user

Had a new hard drive installed last month. now iphoto won't start up, popup says "you can't open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete. can this be repaired without going to the repair shop?

had a new hard drive installed last month. now iphoto won't start up, popup says "you can't open the application iphoto because it may be damaged or incomplete". can this be repaired without going to the repair shop?

What installed iPhoto there in the first place? Was it the same version of iPhoto that came with the Mac? Was iLife added at a later time from a Mac Box Set? You can selectively install iPhoto, and then apply the appropriate iLife update without taking it to the shop, after removing the application, or recover it from your backup.

I can't get FaceTime or iMessage to connect, I enter valid password (tested and works for Apple account) and it won't connect. I have checked all settings, upgrades iOS to 8.3 rebooted, changed Apple acount PW still wont connect. My internet connection is fine Safari works and I can access all sites. I have an iPad 2. Any help on this will be greatly appreciate. iPad 2, iOS 8.3

This is an ongoing problem as you will see by searching the forum.
Out of curiosity, do you have 2 step verification enabled? It was recently extended to include iMessage & FaceTime & I'm wondering if it might be causing some of the issues that some users are experiencing.

Ipad won't start; trying to restore thru itunes, but get the message - can't restore because ipad is not set up. It was set up and has been in use for about a year. What do I do now?

I Have seen people report this issue when they try to sync their devices but in never seen it when trying to restore an unresponsive iPad. I would sguggest trying recovery mode now.
If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
This procedure will totally erase the iPad so I hope that you have a backup that you can restore from....assuming that it works, that is.

I just made the switch to mac. I am have installed all the new PS6 CC and bridge and I am now trying to add some presets to my ACR but when I search for the folder to place them it is not there. From what I researched it says it should be under camera library/application support/adobe/camera raw/settings but I can only get to library/application support/adobe/ and then there are two different camera raw options I have checked both and there are not settings folder. If anyone can help me please thanks

Apple most likely has the same poor taste that Microsoft does when it come to defaults. Microsoft likes to hide things like settings, preset, folders etc from normal users think the dumb or something else. If Apple also hide things you will have to make some system setting changes that will allow Finder to do it job and find it for you.
