In Pages, Page Numbers are inconsistent, page 8 is page 1

I have a footer in a newsletter that I'm publishing using pages, and I've tried to "insert page numbers" into the footer. This works for the first 7 pages, but page 8 says the page number 1. Any idea why this might happen? I have not inserted any section breaks in the document as far as I know, and if I did I don't see them in show invisibles.
Can I manually input the numbers in each footer? Or is there another way to check for section breaks?

You've apparently got a section break at the end of page 7 content. Move your cursor to page 8 and open the Layout Inspector. Choose the "Section" tab and set your page numbering to "Continue from previous section".

    I bought Pages and Numbers for my iMac and so far everything was OK.
    Suddenly i have a problem with connection to iCloud.
    Dokuments created on iMac in Pages or Numbers are not transfered to iCloud. Not uploaded to iCloud. There is a sign  (small shape of iCloud), that they are waiting to be uploaded to iCloud.
    I think the iCloud is OK.
    i can see and manage documents in iCloud. i can create them on iPad and  see them and delete them in iCloud.
    But not on iMac.
    i dont know what has happened and I am not abble to find the solution. It was OK till some days ago….

    I have a similar problem! Everything stopped working after upgrading to Mac OS 10.8.4 through the App Store. Help!

  • Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free?

    Firstly I updated my ipad into ios7 and after watching the video by Apple, iWork, pages and numbers are free for download after updating iOS 7. How can I download iWork pages and number for free? Please help me.

    stevejobsfan is correct; iwork for ios is free only for new purchases of new ios devices. A good work around (if you have wifi connectivity) is going to the icloud website on your ipad, and working on your document.
    A word of caution (the real reason I am responding to your post). If you do a lot of 'formatting' of a document on iwork for mac, and then save it in icloud; you will probably loose most of the formatting you have done (this will be true if you oppen the document in iwork for ios; also) It happened to me, and I did not duplicate the document before saving it to icloud; I lost at least an hours worth of work.

  • HT4972 Why Pages and numbers are not updating.

    My pages and numbers are not updating for about a week now Why?

    Some one else had a similar problem last night...same as yours. He claimed that Pages had been stuck trying to update for about week. I posted this and he said that it worked - which part he did not say - but give these things a try.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>Store>Sign in and then try to resume the download.
    If you have all of your Pages files backed up in iTunes or on your Mac, this might be the answer. Try deleting the waiting icon - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    I have deleted Pages a couple of times when I had issues with it and then reinstalled it. I even deleted a stalled Pages once and then tried the update successfully again after that. My files are always backed up in iTunes and on my Mac so I had no apprehension about deleting the waiting download.

  • HT4623 The software pages and numbers are corrupt. How can I download software again to reinstall on iPad.

    I downloaded pages and numbers via iTunes on my laptop, then transferred to iPad.  Software is corrupt  it won't open. On the laptop it tells me the dies are corrupt.  How do I download then again since the corrupt versions are in iTunes.

    You can only do this via iTunes. Remove the ones in iTunes and redownload.
    Note that there are different versions for iDevices and computers. They cannot be interchanged, and they must be purchased separately.

  • I just had a new hard drive installed and now my pages and numbers are missing... do I have to purchase those?

    My hard drive died on my MacBook Pro.  So the Apple store installed a new hard drive for me yesterday.  Now I can't find Pages or Numbers at all.  Do I have to purchase these?  Thanks for the feedback!

    Did you purchase them or did they come with your Mac?

  • Pages and numbers  Ipad : How to convert pages and numbers to word and xls?

    Hello everyone,
    I am currently using Pages and Numbers for Ipad. As I am currently working on these two programs and with their equivalent for PC (Word and Excel) for my research project, I would like to know how I can convert respectively the page and number format to word and xls, to use my documents both on my Ipad and my PC.
    - Is there a convert option in pages or numbers for IPad?
    - otherwise, is there suc an option in iwork.cim ?
    - if nothing of such kind exists on pages and numbers for Ipad and in iwork.com, is there any software which could do the conversion ?
    Thanks for your answers,
    John Molson

    Within Pages, you can export to MS Word, Pages, and PDF, but Numbers only exports to Numbers or PDF...
    Pages and Numbers on your Mac can convert the files to Word and Excel...

  • TS3991 i can go to icloud, but keynote, pages, and numbers are not there

    I have an icloud account, but cannot access pages, keynote, or numbers.

    I am having the same issue for browser based iCloud access. (Macbook, iPad and iPhone programs are fine). The new beta is awful via browser. In Chrome no files are available, and in Firefox all formatting is lost when copying and pasting into Word or some other program.
    This is on a Vista Business machine. I have not tried the Safari browser, but will do so.

  • New Pages and Numbers are not worth the money

    Bought the two new versions and am very disappointed. Apple should be ashamed to pubish these versions and charge for them. I love Apple, but these versions don't live up to the standards set by Steve Jobs.

    They're free downloads for anyone running the previous version. And if you don't have the previous version installed you can buy it on a major online retail store, install it, and get the new version for free while keeping the old version on your Mac. Two apps for the price of one.

  • "iwork" (pages/keynote/numbers) are lost !!

    Hello, I had purchased and installed "Iwork09" on my MacBook last year and after some major issues with Quickbooks, my Mac Tech disabled or uninstalled my application. I am now being asked for  the serial # of the product but I don't know how to find it and definitely don't want to buy the ap again. What can I do to find the serial number ?

  • How to make announcements in pages so there are four to a page?

    I'm trying to make graduation announcements and want four to a page so that they are smaller. How do I create four to a page?

    I know that some helpers dislike this choice but when I want to do that, I build the object in a single page then I replicate it four times to get a four pages document.
    Then in the print driver dialog I urge the printer to print four pages on a single sheet.

  • On tab pages, where tabs are children of home page ... how2insert rows?

    We show the key on the parent tab ... we navigate to child tabs, and proper child rows are all there.
    We click insert and it seems to allow entry. We click Submit, we get error that the parent key field is blank, so can't do insert.
    So ... how to make that parent key persist on each child tab?
    The tabs know the key is there, because they successfully show the children, and only the children. And when you click on a different parent on the row listing of the main home page, then go to child, only that new row's children show up (my intern did the links, I can't speak for precisely how he did this, but we're talking meat and potatoes, not wizardry).
    Any records entered on a child tab should be a child of the clicked home parent, and no other record (one must start with parent before going to child) ...
    Is there a way to get the parent key to persist?
    (child tabs typically have two columns making up the primary key, the parent key (as a foreign key) and something unique to that tab ... e.g., line number, or xref code, or id_link ... these tables / keys all work just fine at the SQLplus level and via Oracle Forms, so data model per se is fine.)
    Any / all clues / info / links to docs will be met with much gratitude.

    Suzanne:
    It would make it easier for your problem to be understood/resolved if you could create a example of the issue you are encountering at the OTN APEX site.
    Given the information you have provided, and assuming that the 'DML' for child records is handled by the standard APEX Automatic DML processing page process, I'd suggest you take a look at the definition of this process and determine how the PK for the child record is obtained.

  • Mail merge in PAGES and NUMBERS has GONE!

    A while ago I painstakingly moved data and documents from Microsoft Excel 2008 for Mac to Numbers and from Word to Pages. I have been using Numbers for data lists and Pages for Mailmerge documents successfully since 2011.
    With the latest "update" to Pages and Numbers, I thought I would see improved software and performance. What I got was a downgrade in functionality.
    * Pages no longer supports mail merge
    ** Pages documents with mail merge fields are corrupted on opening them with the new version - SAVE THE ORIGINAL FIRST !
    * Numbers documents can no longer be used with the previous version of Pages to perform a mail merge - the headers are not being recognised!
    WORK AROUND
    Don't use the new Pages or Numbers.
    Keep your old Pages and Numbers documents in a safe folder.
    Use the prior versions of Pages and Numbers for mail merging (HOPEFULLY APPLE READS THIS AND PUTS MAIL MERGE BACK IN THE NEXT FIX)
    It is possible to maintain Numbers documents using the new version. This however necessitates saving your modified Numbers document in the old format (Save As...) before using it with the prior Pages version.
    @APPLE: PLEASE RECOGNISE THIS MAJOR PLANNING ERROR ON YOUR PART AND GIVE US THE FUNCTIONALITY BACK ASAP !!!

    I agree with Peter. This is NOT a forum for filing complaints directed at Apple. They do make that clear.
    Paul, I suggest you channel your frustration toward Apple at their Product Feedback page: http://www.apple.com/feedback/

  • Lost pages and Numbers in Library

    i saved a template in pages and I went to my libray/app support/iWork and only the Keynote is showing.
    Both pages and Numbers are missing.
    The template that I saved shows in the "MY Template' of pages.
    I have a B/U HD and they are missing from that also.
    The last time I B/U was a week ago.
    I cannot remember the last time I went into these folders, it could have been over a year ago.
    Both pages and Numbers work fine.
    Any thoughts or what I need to do to find them ?
    Greg

    On my HD there is a Library, then it goes to Application Support and there are 3 iWork listings.
    iWork, iWork 08 and iWork 09.
    I tried all three and Pages and Numbers are not listed.
    There is another Library listing in my systems but there is no listing for Application support or iWorks.
    Unless there was a change to a new location I remember always locating in in the Application support in the main library account listed when I click on the HD.
    Hope I answered it clearly.
