Is anybody else having big problems using the new pages?

Everything has moved and even the help section isn't that helpful. I have been sitting in class for over an hour trying to make a portfolio, but can't because everything is so different. I have no idea how any of the changes are supposed to make it simpler. You can't even save as a word document! Instead there's all this export rubbish. I'm going to fail this class because of the new pages update. I have been putting off this update for weeks but since the newest OS update, everything is automatically updating so I had no choice. Actually make it easier, or make it possible to undo the update.

It's been 7 months since it came out. Didn't you read the reviews in the App Store? Plus all the forum posts here?

Use Pages '08/'09 it should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.

  • HELP!!  I am having BIG PROBLEMS getting the Custom Page Sizes to work!!

    I am having a MAJOR challenge working with the Custom Page Size feature in Pages '09. My mom is working on a primer music book for publication, where the page size (for the printer) MUST BE 9" X 12"!! For some reason even though I have set the custom page size to 9" x 12", The document does not appear to have the proper proportions, (i.e. the ration of the width to height IS NOT EQUAL TO THAT OF A 9" X 12" DOCUMENT!!)
    HELP!! PLEASE!!
    Also, for some reason my Vertical Ruler has COMPLETELY DISAPPEARED!! My Horizontal Ruler (on top) is still there but there is no sign of the vertical one which is CRITICAL for aligning the of the content for publication!!
    I took an annotated screenshot of what the document that is +*SUPPOSEDLY 9" x 12".*+ But there is +*NO WAY THAT IT IS ACTUALLY 9"12!!*+
    I have also taken some screenshots of a few other Inspector Panels and other things that might help SOMEBODY to figure out what the problem is!

    I do hope that somebody can answer WHY I am having these problems

    Hi kmamusic
    Welcome to the forum.
    To show your vertical ruler:
    +Menu > Pages > Preferences > Rulers > check Enable vertical ruler in word processing documents+
    You are right the page does look slightly too high.
    The one thing you did not give us was a screen snap of the *Custom Page* you set up in *Page Setup…*
    This is what would dictate the actual page size.

  • Having extreme problems using the new iMac, adobe CS5 (in particular InDesign) and OSX 10.8.2 (and now also 10.8.3) Mountain Lion

    Is anyone else experiencing the same thing? My computer is 2 months old and has hardly any files stored on it. Also, my
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 512 MB and my memory is 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3.
    I am only running one thing on the computer as we speak - making a small pattern in InDesign - yet is has been frozen for over 20 mins, and that's not the first time this has happened.
    I updated to the latest Mountain lion this morning (10.8.3) and its exactly the same.
    I dont understand why this is happening, but on the older iMac i could run several windows of the entire creative suite without a problem - i was also using Snow Leopard.
    please help!

    Do you have any Security/Anti-Virus software installed? Mackeeper? Any Third Party programs you have installed recently?

    That happened to mine once, but a reset corrected it and I haven't had it happen again.

    Tell Apple about it: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
    Be sure to give as much detail as possible.
    I would also check LG's site.

    Not really sur easy you would be having that problem.  Mine works.  You might try RESET DEVICE
    Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost). Then try again and see if it makes a difference

    No. You are the only one. The way I know is that I don't have the problem, therefore no one else can have it.
    Seriously, no matter what problem you have, with a half billion iPhones in use, someone else will have the same or similar problem. So knowing that doesn't help solve it in the slightest. As it's new and still in warranty I would take it to an Apple store. Make a genius bar appointment first so you won't have a long wait.

  • I have read all of the discussions about headset echos, my echos are heard by the caller when i hold the phone by the bottom half. The echo disappears  when I change my hold position.  Anybody else having this problem? Fix?

    Don't hold it like that. You're creating an 'echo chamber' due to the position of your hand/neck/face. It's not a technical issue. I hear this when I talk to my wife and she cradles the phone against her shoulder.

  • Yosemite upgrade: function keys no longer work, no keyboard lights and have to sign in twice after sleep mode.  Anybody else having these problems?

    Hi,
    Since I did the Yosemite 'upgrade' last week I have been having problems with my MacBook Pro that never happened before.  The most frustrating problems involve my keyboard which doesn't light up (checked my settings and they are correct) and the top row of function keys don't do anything so I can't adjust the volume, brightness, etc.  Then if my screen goes into sleep mode, when I wake it back up I have to sign back in twice - I never had to sign in at all after sleep mode before.
    I'm finding that in order to get it working properly I am having to completely shut down and start up again but when the keyboard problems are happening I can't get anything on the apple dropdown to work either (i.e. shut down, restart, etc) so I can only shut down by pressing and holding the on/off button.
    I've never had problems with my Macbook before and feel like Apple have completely ruined it in one update!  I've had a look through other posts on here but can't find anybody else having these problems so I would be really grateful if anyone could help me and offer me some advice on how to sort it out.
    Thanks!

  • I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements 5

    I am having a problem using the help menu in Adobe elements number five.
    When I open the help menu, the dialogue box defaults to an unreadable display font. Is there any way to change that default font? Using the help menus to find a solution is not possible for I cannot read what it is displaying.

    For product, there is an option in preferences where we can set fonts. There are two options: One is application font and other is system font. I am talking about elements 8 which I have but not sure that will solve your problem which is help related.
    Hope Help in 5th version is html which opens in Browser? Please confirm.

  • Anyone else having a problem installing the 13.1 update to Elements 13. I keep getting the Error Code:U44M1I210

    Anyone else having a problem installing the 13.1 update to Elements 13. I keep getting the Error Code:U44M1I210

    I don't know what to tell you. I get the same crap. I have been into computers for about 25 years now and it really ticks me off that after all these years these companys can not put out something that works. It seems like they put it out then expect the buyer to fix there screw ups. Why should we have to do there jobs and have to pay for it too?

    Incoming Mail (IMAP) Server - requires SSL:

    this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option?  The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED.  Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right?  Port 993 can  use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe.  Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD.  Should I have used external client cert TLS?
    Please help me set this up securely. Thanks
