Moving pages created documents between macs

I need to move pages created documents from imac to air lap top (running new pages in Mavericks) and to ipad (running ios pages). Get message on Imac (running pages 9) that xml document missing. Moving these documents is important for writing and editing them. I hesitate to upgrade the imac (snow leopard) to the new pages for fear I will lose all my previous documents created in pages 9. Help!

Thank you, I checked the IPad and sure enough I do have version 2.01 and it makes the documents unreadable in Pages 09. It will transport them if they are made into Word documents and then they are read as Page documents in Pages09. Unfortunately if they were not created as word processing documents in the first place, this won't work. Is there a way to back up IOS pages to v.1.71 on my IPad and IPhone? If not, will know that IOS will not work for documents. You would think Apple would have not created this mess since I am surely not the only person writing documents on these devices and needing to move them around for changes and editing!!
Thanks for your help and Peter, your comment about ICloud is also helpful. I have never used it, was tempted, and now will not use that either. Again, Apple getting ahead of themselves and their customers. Love them but get frustrated by them often.:--))

Pages sync function between Mac and iPhone

I decided to get Pages to sync between my iPhone and my Macbook Pro because of the feature that lets me continue typing on my phone when I can't use my laptop. But I want to know if, when I make a document, does my phone need constant internet connection or does it just kind of download it to the phone and updates when I look for it on my computer?
I'm basically asking if my data bill will reflect me using this feature or can I not worry past the initial download.
Thanks

I have been doing some reading on the Apple site, and they do not explicitly state that Pages on IOS 8.1 autosaves. I have my suspicions that it does.
I don't have IOS 8.1 installed here, but a simple test can be revealing. Open the same document from iCloud drive on your phone, and on your Mac in Pages v5.5. Make changes to the document on your phone. Don't attempt to quit the application. Do the changes automatically update after a short delay on Pages v5.5? If they do, then you know that the phones network connection is utilized — likely with Wi-Fi priority over your carrier data plan.
Do not confuse iCloud Drive document availability on participating networked Apple devices as the Handoff feature. I still believe for that to automatically work, it would require Bluetooth enabled on both devices, and local proximity to one another.

Created document on Mac Air Pages, saved it to USB drive formatted to ExPat but on Windows 8.1 desktop, this file came up as a JPEG image. Any ideas please?

I created a document on new Mac Air 11.6 Pages and saved it to a USB flash drive, formatted with ExFat. However, on Windows 8.1 desktop, this shows and opens as a JPEG file rather than in MS Word. When I try to open it with Word, it cannot be edited. Any ideas please?

Of course Windows (Office) can't open a pages document.... you have to save as word or export to word.
I took it for granted you knew this (that's my fault). Each word processor has it's own language (programing). Saving the pages file to a disk and putting it in a windows machine then opening it is like someone mailing you a newspaper or magazine in a foreign language you do not read and wondering why you only looked at the pictures.
Not only are you new to Apple it's now apparent you are unknowledgeable about using and understanding technology.
This is basic stuff... Some classes or books on how to transfer/exchange files from one application and operating system to another will help you... or ... just stick with one operating system and applications.

Pages-created document cannot be opened

I created a few documents within the Pages iOS application. I have created copies of a few of them. Now the orignal and the copies of the document will not open at all in Pages. Nor will the edit function that enables the ability to send the files will work because the application just hangs at the point after selecting which format to export/email - I have tried all three supported export formats. I have tried deleting the app, re-up from cloud and nothing has worked. Is there an update coming if this is a known problem hopefully?!?

You are aware that Pages for Mac and Pages for iPad /iPhone/iPod are 2 different program?
Looks like you have Pages for Apple mobile devices but not for your Mac.
If that's the case
Pages for Mac: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pages/id409201541?mt=12
Pages for iPad/iPhone/iPod touch: https://itunes.apple.com/au/app/pages/id361309726?mt=8

Cannot attach pages/numbers documents using .mac mail online

When I go to attach a file to an email created using .mac online, all pages and numbers documents are greyed out so that they cannot be selected. word and excel (and pdf's) are not greyed out and CAN be selected. anyone notice this? any reason why?

Gregory,
After I read your post, I tried it for myself, and got an error message that the file could not be uploaded. Then I tried making an archive of the file, and the worked perfectly.
In the Finder, control-click on your Pages or Numbers file, select Create Archive of (your file name). Then email the archive.
Pages files are packages (so I assume Numbers files are too), and they need to be archived before emailing.

VPN for Mac. Want to create VPN between Mac and Windows XP

Hey everyone, I'm looking to try and create a VPN for when I'm in college between my Desktop I'll have in my dorm (running Windows XP) and my Macbook Pro (running Mac 10.5). I have a printer and an external hard drive hooked up to my desktop, and I want to make it so that only I can access it through the VPN.
Is this possible?

Hi soccerdude21490-
+Is this possible?+
Theoretically yes. However, it would be up to the school to allow you access through their network.
The first step would be to contact the school's IT department and ask them if they will allow such a connection, and if so, could they please provide you with the settings (ip address etc.).
Luck-

How to create documents on Mac that are compatible with Windows?

I have just started working in InDesign for a client who uses InDesign and wanted me to learn the program so that they could make changes on their own in the future to documents I create for them. I am working on a Mac OS 10.6.2 They have PCs and are working in a Windows environment. I sent the first packaged dvd for their printer and sent it to them last week. Everything looked beautiful on this end, no errors, packaged with links and fonts. When they received the disc the font files on the disc that looks perfect on my computer-- on their computer all read as 0kb and they can't make it work. I have used truetype, type 1 and open type fonts. I just read something in an earlier discussion about true type and T1 as being problematic with PCs? What can I do to be compatible?

My apologies. I find working in unfamiliar computer systems challenging and after over an hour on the phone trying to help an inexperienced PC user find fonts and find her way around InDesign with which she was even less familiar on a PC, a platform with which I have had no experience in the last 13 years, I was frustrated. My comment was inapropriate to this forum. I do realize that PCs are valuable tools. The computer system one is familiar with is always the best platform there is when in the middle of a complicated job.

Moving OS hard drives between Macs of different makes/models

Is it okay to move the operating system hard drive (E.g. the Boot drive) from one mac to another? What about from one model of mac (E.g. a Mac Mini) to a different model. (Mac Pro) In the PC world, this is an absolute no no due to drivers, registry issues, and other problems. However, I've spoken to a couple of mac technicians who say it's perfectly acceptable and works "flawlessly."
The reason i'm asking is because we recently built a new boot drive for one of our Mac Pros (2010 model) using a Mac Mini (2012). The tech installed the OS and all the applications using his mac mini and then moved the hard drive to the mac pro. Now we are having a bunch of weird issues with this specific mac pro such as lock ups and other glitches. We are now wondering if perhaps the issue is related to the build process used.
Thanks for any advice you can provide.

I'd say only if you're really lucky, but since you're having issues, you apparently weren't.
...We are now wondering if perhaps the issue is related to the build process used...
As The hatter has said, you'd need the machine-specific installer (i.e., Mac OS 10.6.4) for a 2010 Mac Pro which wasn't what was done.
However, since it looks like you're using Lion now, if you download and install the 10.7.5 combo updater, a good portion of the operating system will be replaced and customized for the Mac Pro. You can try that to see if the various glitches are cured. There are similar combo updaters for Snow Leopard and Mountain Lion which can accomplish pretty much the same thing.

Creating network between Mac and Linux

Hello guys! I need to set up network between my iMac and Ubuntu linux. iMac is connected in internet by Airport and Fon Wifi Router witch is connected in router which is connected to adsl -modem. My pc is connected directly to router. Both computers have access to internet. Is there any easy solutions to share files with mac and linux? I don't need any webservers etc, I just want to share files.
Other question related to this, why is my mac's ip address like 192.168... and linux ip addrress is 84.250...?
Thanks allready!

Though I'm not newbie with computers, I'm really confused becouse I haven't set up network like this never before.
Not a problem, no worry... we all know something somebody else doesn't and vice versa.
My linux says that my DHCP -IP is 193.210.18.18, is that related to this in any way?
Yes, if the Mac had an IP of 193.210.18.x, (but not 18 for x), then connection would be simple, but I think we must have two devices passing out IPs. What is the Mac's IP again?

Do you have any advice where I could start looking from the right IP of my linux?

I'm not sure if its even configurable.

Sharing documents between Macs - what user name should I use?

I have been trying to set up a shared folder on our main work Macbook so that my Macbook can access and edit the documents in that folder.
I have created a username "lastnamefirstname" on the main macbook and enabled permissions on that username to read and write.
However, when I connect to the folder with that exact user name, all the files and folders show up as read only.
Should the username be exactly the same as my computers name? Or can it be anything? I've tried different combinations of "lastname firstname", "firstname lastname", and I've tried deleting all the login details from my keychain and retrying, but I'm still coming up against the same problem.
Thanks for your time!

hi Ricardo,
I think you just have to set up a validation, you don't need an exit for that. You can do that in GGB0. On the other hand due date as field does not exist, so don't look for that
hope this helps

E-mailing .pages created document

I am NEW to Apple & Pages '08. From reading this discussion forum, I discovered that what SHOULD be incredibly simple is NOT. Alarming for Apple thus far with my personal experience.
I can not simply use a drop down menu with a click or two and e-mail a .pages document? Is it indeed true that I have to go through the process of "export" rather than the drop down menu...File then Send to e-mail within Pages '08?
Is it just me, or do other "old" Windows/MS types find this an alarming flaw in Pages '08?
Keith

to make your voice heard, please submit Feedback using the Feedback option in the Numbers Menu.
thanks,
Jason
btw, I have been trying to get people to STOP using the Send to menu item in M$ products. I have had more people tell me (I taught over 3000 in three years of Corporate instruction), that they would send to, then forget they had not saved their work. Close and lose it all. Have to go through the whole process of finding the email in their sent folder and pulling out the file again anyways.

Moving and editing slideshow between MACs

I'd like to move an existing (uncompleted) slideshow from an iMac to a Mac Book Pro and complete the project on-site (a wedding reception). What is the best technique to complete this without messing with the hours of work that have gone into the project thus far??

There's only one way to do it: Move the Library that contains the slideshow.
A Slideshow is really an instruction in the iPhoto database: "Show me Photo A for 5 seconds then cross fade to Photo B over 3 seconds and show me for 5 seconds etc etc etc"
The only way to move the slideshow +in an editable form+ is to move the database - and that database is the Library.
Regards
TD

How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc? I need to create and edit between both.

How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc? I need to create and edit and exchange between both types of operating systems.

Your Windows system will not open any Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents. No applications exist for Windows that can open those formats. You will need to export your documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats, respectively, before you'll be able to view and edit the documents on your Windows system. The iWork documents can natively open Word, Excel and PP documents, though there are limitations on what can be imported (for instance, Numbers does not support all possible Excel functions). Consult the documentation for the relevant iWork application for details on importing and exporting.
If you are asking how to get the documents from one system to the other, then there are several ways to do that, including file sharing, using an external drive (hard drive, USB flash drive), or emailing the documents to yourself. Which would be best for your situation I can't say without more details about your usage.
Regarsd.
