IOS doesn't preview .docx documents properly if they have been edited with Pages

Create or edit an existing word document (.docx format) with the latest pages on IOS. Preview the document in any IOS app (say, the Dropbox app or mail the document to yourself and preview in ios mail). Every line in the document will be ruled (more than underline--the line goes all the way across the page width). When you look at the same document with any app that can open and view .docx (the new Pages, which converts to pages format of course, or Documents to Go, which opens .docx natively), the document displays properly. Also, if you open the exact same document on a Mac using Pages or Word, you won't see the problem.
This is not consistent. In a trivial 3 line document I could not reproduce this. In a moderately sized document of 6 pages, my editing change in Pages was to format 6 lines as bulleted. This caused the problem.
Certainly a bug in either Pages or in the way IOS renders .docx files throughout the system. It's minor but it would be nice to fix. Probably not worth Apple complaining about use of Word after they made a huge todo about really achieving compatibility with Word in the latest release of iwork.

When you open pages in Preview you can also get the same effect on an imac.
Articles sent as docx and opened in windows either arrive blank or only display the information between the lines. This is a big screw-up by Apple which they don't appear to have an answer for, and I find it annoying that I had to pay Apple Support to find this out.
Posting off CVs for jobs has resulted in my applications being lost because of this quirk.

I have a problem with Pages shutting down my documents.

I have a problem with Pages shutting down my documents. I have several

Can someone tell me what's happening

Pages is crashing for some reason.
You say that other documents open with no problems, do you mean other Pages documents or documents in another app?
Try closing Pages completely in the recents tray and reboot your iPad. See if that helps. If it doesn't help, you may have to delete and reinstall Pages. If that doesn't work, you might have a corrupt document that you need to track down and delete.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I want to share PDF documents with others. These documents have been edited (mostly highlights) by me. I want to share these documents without the changes I've made. How can I do this?

I want to share PDF documents with others. These documents have been edited (mostly highlights) by me using Preview. I want to share these documents without the changes I've made. How can I do this? Do I have to manually erase all of the changes I've made. The people I want to share it with also have macs.

You can move the iTunes folder to a separate drive on your pc an then configure each account to use this drive / folder as iTunes library ... The problem is, that iTunes by default stores everything in your personal music folder which is separate for each user account in windows (and by default is on "C" drive).
I create a separate partition on every pc/laptop (and map a drive name) where I store music, videos and other mass data. This will also keep the "C" drive small, which is backed up from time to time and so my backup is also small.

I have been editing a document on my MacBook Pro and iPad, which has the newer versions of Pages. Now, I cannot open on My MacBook. It says I need a newer version of OS. However, I'm not showing a newer version being availabe!!! Can anyone help???

That is Pages for iPad v2.0, which Pages '09 v4.3 can't read.
You need to either stick with the older version of Pages on the iPad or get Pages 5 for the Mac which is only available if you are running OSX 10.9 Mavericks.
Unfortunately that is not the end of your woes because Apple has made iCloud convert the files to Pages 5 now, and Pages 5 has over 90 features deleted on top of doing a shocking job of converting older Pages files.

My file names have disappeared in grid view. Thery have been replaced with a dark bar along the bottom of the previews. If I toggle using the command u it hide the bar but I still can't see the file name. In list view all the file names are OK.

The dark bar is caused by the option "Show metadata below image".
Check the settings for the metadata overlays in Grid view (basic and expanded) by clicking the little "badge" icon below the Browser and selecting "Edit". Is the filename still enabled in the list? And in a high enough position to have precedence for other metadata tags, if the space does not suffice to show all selected tags?

Quicken 2007 for Intel (Snow Leopard, Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks) for $15:

It will input your Quicken PPC data file directly if it was Quicken 2005 through 2007. If older you need Quicken 2006 or 2007 PPC first to convert your data file; and this update must be done BEFORE you upgrade to Mavericks:

Filemaker Pro PPC (in this case 7) running in Snow Leopard Server installed into Parallels for use in Lion, Mt. Lion and Mavericks:
[click on image to enlarge]
Snow Leopard Server: 1.800.MYAPPLE (1.800.692.7753) - Apple Part Number: MC588Z/A (telephone orders only)
This solution allows you to run your Photoshop Elements in Mavericks concurrently with Filemaker Pro PPC. Mavericks is a free download.

I just started having an issue with my bank website working properly. They have told me it is because of the last safari upgrade. Is this being resolved?

You might want to consider "voting with your feet" and taking your business to another bank. When they tell you the upgrade is the problem, it is really their problem and not yours. If you don't want to do that, the suggestion that you try another browser is absolutely correct.

Other terms
AR, AP, invoice, credit memo, reserve invoice, wizard, document, generation, past, previous, posting date, settings, initialisation, SAP Business One

Solution
Under Administration -> System Initialisation -> Document Settings -> Tab 'General' is a tickbox 'Block Documents with Earlier Date'.

Users cannot access Document Library althouth they have Edit permissions

Hello,
I have a strange SharePoint 2013 case, or at least it's strange to me.
Users from the company cannot access a Document Library although I've granted them Edit permissions. The Inheritance from the parent have been broken, all inherited groups have been removed and all users have unique permissions to this library. Here is the
setup:
Web App -> Sub Site A -> Sub Site B -> Sub Site C -> Sub Site D -> Library
So these users have Read access from the Web App down to Sub Site B. They cannot see Sub Site C and D because these sites are also with broken inheritance and unique permissions. But I've granted Edit permissions for these users to the Library.
If I assign View permissions for these users to the Sub Site D then they can upload and edit documents in the library, but still cannot see Sub Site C which was my intention anyway. Again i don't want them to see Sub Site D either, but if i remove the View
permissions they can't access the library.
On SP 2010 this was not an issue. I'm not sure if here the permissions are different or not, but I've never seen such issue before.
Any ideas will be much appreciated. I hope the explanation is good enough to describe the issue.
Many Thanks in advance.
Ivo

Hi Ivaylo,
According to your description, my understanding is that the user with only Edit permission on the library cannot access the library.
I recommend to check if the Limited-access user permission lockdown mode feature is deactivated in root site.
If it is not, deactivate it and then test to see if the issue still occurs.
To deactivate the feature, please go to the root site > Site Settings > Site collection features > deactivate Limited-access user permission lockdown mode.
Best regards.
Thanks

Quicklook doesn't preview .docx files

QuickLook works great on .doc files but doesn't work on .docx files.

Preview: double-click doesn't open files AFTER they have been modified

Since a few weeks (maybe since I upgraded to OS 10.6.6 ?) Preview doesn't open files any more by double-clicking AFTER I have modified and saved them. They open when I drag them to the dock icon of Preview.
For instance, photos downloaded from a camera open by double-clicking them. However, if I rotate or crop them and then save, Preview doesn't open them any more but shows two subsequent error messages: (1) "The application can't be found", (2) "The operation can't be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code -43)".
I found one workaround: when you close and reopen the folder in which these files are, they open again by double-clicking.
Quicklook works fine.
Looks like a bug in OS 10.6.6. Any other fixes?

In the Finder, select one of the image files you want to open with Preview. Choose "Get Info" from the contextual menu or the File menu. In the "Open with" section, choose Preview from the pulldown menu if it's not already selected. If it is selected, choose another application (any other), then re-select Preview. Click the "Change All" button and close the dialog.
