Lost templates folder - advice gratefully received
Hi, I've just bought a new Macbook (lovely) and want to create a personal letterhead template in pages.
I'm on 10.8 mountain lion and using Pages 09.
The advice seems to be that the templates folder is hidden in home>library>applicationsupport.
I can find my way there, but there isn't the expected iWork folder there.
I've tried searching for Pages and iWork folders using go to folder and spotlight, but they haven't thrown any light on the issue.
The templates are there somewhere - when I open a new document they pop up - can anyone help?
Thanks, Mark
I think you haven't found the correct library folder. There are several in OS X & Spotlight won't find any of them. The user's Library is hidden in Lion & Mountain Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your user Library will appear about halfway down the list. Or you can choose Go to Folder from the Go menu in Finder & paste this line in the box:
~/Library/Application Support/iWork/Pages/Templates/My Templates/
My prefered utility for searching is Find Any File, which can search any where including inside libraries & packages. There are also EasyFind & DFind.

When I turn on my iPad the grey 'brightness slider' is in the centre of the screen and I can't get rid of it. I've tried switching on / off 'auto-brightness' in 'settings' but it won't go away. What am I doing wrong? Any advice gratefully received.
That folder with the question mark icon means that the MacBook can't find the boot directory. That can either mean it can't find the hard drive or the Operating System data on the hard drive is somehow corrupted.
Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option key until the Install Disk shows up). That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window. Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. When it comes up is your Hard Drive in the list on the left?
If it is then click on the Mac OS partition of your hard drive in the left hand list. Then select the First Aid Tab and run Repair Disk. The Repair Disk button won't be available until you've clicked on the Mac OS partition on your hard drive. If that repairs any problems run it again until the green OK appears and then run Repair Permissions.
If your hard drive isn’t recognized in Disk Utility then your hard drive is probably dead. -
How to fax from a macbook on a home network? All advice gratefully received
not sure if i'm being dumb...
i use a macbook on a home Timecapsule/AirPort network, and I want to be able to fax from it. When I try to do so at the moment, I just get 'Modem not found' and am presuming therefore that MacBook does not have any internal modem.
But couldn't Timecapsule do it somehow?
Or do i need to buy/install an additional Apple USB Modem? If so where would I plug it in?
Or do I just need to suscribe to some service such as eFax, which I'd rather not do if possible?
Does anyone know???
All advice gratefully received.You can buy a modem for you computer, in which case you can connect it to a phone line and the USB port on your computer. There may be all-in-one printers that allow faxing through them, but I am not familiar with which ones have drivers for that. (I so not understand why there would not be, but manufacturers have not always seen it necessary to provide them.) There may be some of those which may be accessed through a network connection to your Time Capsule.

Where can I find the My Templates folder in Microsoft Excel?
Further to a posting tonight, I have progressed the problem and realised that Autorecover files are in My Templates folder. In fact this is the default save folder. But where is it?
Using Finder doesn't find it. Files I had been working on appeared lost but now I know they are in My Templates but i can't find the folder My Templates. Any help would be gratefully received.MS Office Folder -> Office -> Media -> Templates

Hi guys, I recently got a new MacBook Pro with a USB Superdrive. A disc won't eject, does anyone know of a way to eject it? I'm in Morocco for the next 10 days so going to an Apple store is not possible. Any help would be gratefully received, thanks
Five ways to eject a stuck CD or DVD from the optical drive
Ejecting the stuck disc can usually be done in one of the following ways:
1. Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
left mouse button until the disc ejects.
2. Press the Eject button on your keyboard.
3. Click on the Eject button in the menubar.
4. Press COMMAND-E.
5. If none of the above work try this: Open the Terminal application in
your Utilities folder. At the prompt enter or paste the following:
/usr/bin/drutil eject
If this fails then try this:
Boot the computer into Single-user Mode. At the prompt enter the same command as used above. To restart the computer enter "reboot" at the prompt without quotes. -
What the ****.
OK, I try to change a template using Word for Mac version 14.3.4 2011 edition.
I make a change to the template but am unable to save the darned thing to the template folder; it asks for a file name like it's a new document. I want to change the blasted template but if I can't save it as a modified template, I've accomplished nothing.
Does anyone have a solution?
ThanksSupport for Microsoft Office for Mac

Hi All, Really hope some of you techies may have suggestions for this as it's driving me nuts. I actually have a new PC and a new laptop, and the same thing happens with both machines. With my PC, the first time I plugged my iPod in, I was asked whether I wanted to wipe everything on my iPod, and reload as per the library on my new machine. As I use my iPod in my zumba and dance classes, I was very weary of doing this before I had checked to ensure all my music was in my library, so at that point I replied 'No'. Since then, i~Tunes registers my iPod, but will not sync to the library (and playlists) on my i
Tunes. It seems bonkers to have to go as far as uninstalling, then reinstalling, iTunes. Is there really no other way to get round this?
Any suggestions gratefully received!thought that it was possible to have the same iTunes library on any machine that was authorised, a kind of cloud-iTunes I guess.
That would convenient, but sadly it is not the case. Sorry!
Either way your welcome and best of luck!

Hiding Workgroup Template folder in Office 2013
Hi,
It was suggested that this may be an appropriate forum for asking the following question
I have the following setup... In Group Policy (Computer Configuration) I copy the corporate Templates to the WorkGroup Templates folder on every PC (under Default\appData). We also have a personal templates folder (under %USERNAME%\appData).
The workgroup templates are available in both the workgroup and users personal templates folder.
When a user creates a new file in WORD or Excel they are presented with 2 templates folders. Is there anyway of hiding the Workgroup Templates folder and just showing the user their personal templates folder? (I want to keep the Workgroups templates
folder, I just do not want to display it in WORD)
Or should I just try to rename the templates folders so they can be distinguished from each other
ThanksHi,
As per the description, I understand that you've copied your corporate templates into the WorGroup Templates folder, and now you would like to hide this folder to users but keep the templates/folder. If I have misunderstood your concern, please let me know.
I have tested this on my own machine, to hide this folder to users, you'll need to clean the location for
Workgroup template in FILE>Options>Advanced>File Locations... button under
General section.
We are not able to clean this directly in Word, but we can do this by modifying the registry key or using GPO:
1) Clean the value of this registry key directly for each user:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\15.0\Common\General\SharedTemplates
2) Group policy for this is: User Configuration\Microsoft Office 2013\Shared paths\workgroup templates path
Hope it helps.
Regards,
Ethan Hua

How can I add a new Template to My Templates in Pages? I've read most of the discussions on the subject but it doesn't work for me. By the time I reach the Templates folder, I only see templates for Numbers and not for Pages. Need help, please. Thanks
Si vous avez utilisé la commande Save As Template depuis Pages, il y a forcément un dossier
iWork > Pages
contenant Templates > My Templates
comme il y a un dossier
iWork > Numbers
contenant Templates > My Templates
Depuis le Finder, tapez cmd + f
puis configurez la recherche comme sur cette recopie d'écran.
puis lancez la recherche.
Ainsi, vous allez trouver vos modèles personnalisés dans leur dossier.
Chez moi, il y en a une kyrielle en dehors des dossiers standards parce que je renomme wxcvb.template quasiment tous mes documents Pages et wxcvb.nmbtemplate à peu près tous mes documents Numbers.
Ainsi, quand je travaille sur un document, je ne suis pas ralenti par Autosave.
Désolé mais je ne répondrai plus avant demain.
Pour moi il est temps de dormir.

I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!
Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

When using a template the 'Save As' opens the templates folder to save to, not the last used folder
I used to open a file from the templates folder,
add details then click 'Save As' to save it the folder I was using.
Now I have downloaded Fireworks CS6 it always opens the 'Templates' folder when I click 'Save As'
I don't want to make a new template each time,
I want it to open the folder I was last using.
I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling but I can't get it to open the folder I was last using whan I click 'Save As',
which is what it did before when I was using Fireworks CS5.
Are there any Settings to change this?
Of course I can click 'Recent Places' but it was easier before when the right folder to save to just came up first time.Saved files seem to remember their last saved location. So if you create a new file based on a Template, the first time you choose Save As, the location of the source (template) file will appear. However, once you've saved the file to a new location, that new location should become the new default for any subsequent iterations of that file.
New files (not created from a template) pick up the location of the last saved file.
All this is to say, the file saving issue you're experiencing should only be a problem the first time you save a file based on a template. Every time you open that file afterward, it should default to its current folder location. But yes, every time you create a file based on a template, the default location will be the Templates folder. If this feels like a big problem, I believe you have the option of opening a template file from any location... so you could copy or move the template into a more desireable folder location, and create your new file(s) based on the template in that location.
Hope this gives you some ideas! -
Where's the My Templates folder in Yosemite, or How to delete a Numbers template.
I have Numbers 3.5.2 - where'd the My Templates folder go? I don't see it in Library/Application Support. .... In other words, I'm trying to delete unwanted templates. Could it be that it's now easier to find than in earlier iWorks, but I'm missing the obvious???
When in doubt, check HELP. (duh).............
Rename or delete a custom template
After you install a template, it appears in the My Templates category in the template chooser.
In the template chooser, Control-click the template name, then choose Rename or Delete.
If you’re renaming, type a new name, then press Return.
You can’t rearrange templates; they always appear in the order in which they were added.
