Page File Article

Here is an excellent article IMO. It even addresses the Out of Memory problem.

I just read the article... I am still confused as to what my system is doing...
I have 2gig of physical memory. I have my page file set as described. When in LR only about 200-300 mb of physical memory gets used, but hundreds of mb of page file gets used. And monitoring the task manager while using LR I see that the physical memory usage stays about the same but the page file goes up in usage by several hundred MB. I still have (right now) 1.45 GB of physical memory available- But Windows keeps using the page file when ever LR asks for more memory!
UGH... I am not sure what to do. If I am not running out of physical memory than virtual memory usage should stay low but it is not.
Any ideas?
EDIT- I just looked a little closer, when memory needs go up it will use a little bit more physical (a few MB) but no where near enough.

High Page Reads/Sec on Windows 2008 R2 64-bit running on VMware but very low Real Memory & Page file Usage.

Hello All,
Below is the server configuration,
OS: Windows 2008 R2 Enterprise 64 Bit
Version: 6.1.7601 Service Pack 1 Build 7601
CPU: 4 (@ 2.93 GHz, 1 core)
Memory: 12 GB
Page file: 12 GB
1. The actual utilization, be it a 15 minute sample, hourly, weekly etc, the utilization of real memory has never crossed 20% and the page file usage is at 0.1%. For some reason, the Pages/Sec>Limit% counter reports 100% continuously regardless of the
sampling intervals. Upon further observation, the Page Reads/Sec value is somewhere between 150~450 and Page Input/Sec is somewhere between 800~8000. Does this indicate a performance bottleneck? (I've in the interim asked the Users, App. Owners to see if they
notice any performance degradation and awaiting response). If this indicates a performance issue, please could someone help list down how to track this down further to which process/memory mapped file is causing it? and what I should go about performing to
fix this problem please?
p.s., initially the Security logs were full on this server and since page file is tied to Application, Security and System logs, this was freed up to see if this is causing the high page reads but this doesn't.
2. If the above does not necessarily indicate a performance problem, please can someone reference few KB articles that confirms this? Also, in this case, will there be any adverse effects if attempting to fine tune a server which is already running fine?
assuming App. Owners confirm there isn't any performance degradation.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Based on the description, we can try to download Server Performance Advisor (SPA) to help further analyze the performance of the server. SPA can generate comprehensive diagnostic reports and charts and provides recommendations to help you quickly analyze
issues and develop corrective actions.

Combining Pages Files

Suppose I have two Pages documents:
1) multipage.pages, a multipage document
2) onepage.pages, a 1-page document.
Each of them consists of both text and images.
How can I add onepage.pages to multipage.pages so that it becomes
another page of multipage.pages? I've searched the Pages User Guide, Pages help, and the Apple
website without finding any information on this. I suppose I could copy
onepage.pages and paste it into a new blank page in multipage.pages, but
I'd like to find a more direct way, if there is one.
Why not simply create the 1-page document as a page in the multipage
document in the first place? I'm about to take over as newsletter
editor for a club, and I plan to use Pages (small, simple newsletter; no
great sophistication needed). If someone else sends me a finished
article as a Pages file, I'd like to be able to insert it directly into
the newsletter. (Hasn't someone else done this already?)
I thought this might be a relatively common thing, but so far I haven't
been able to find any information. Suggestions are welcome.

You can:
+Menu > Insert > Choose… > browse to the file which must be txt, rtf, pdf, and some others (experiment)+
Oddly enough not other .pages files. Ah, Apple!
Mostly just open the documents side by side and select-drag in what you want, or copy and paste. You can also drag in files/snippets from the desktop.

Why haven't my Pages files restored after a backup?

Ok. I have an ipad 2. I use icloud to back up my important stuff, particularly Pages files. Today I made the MASSIVE mistake of updating my os. This killed my ipad & I have had to restore. No problem I thought. I go to restore & get a 'not all things can be restored' type message. Not bothered about my games; but Pages, an app I paid for and backup, is wiped. Not a trace of any files.
How can I get them back?
Is there an Apple way to do it?
many thanks

Please amend your signature to show you are using Lion - having the wrong system showing can lead to some irrelevant answers.
Your iDisk and its contents, including websites and Gallery, do not migrate to iCloud: iCloud does not provide these facilities. The iDisk will continue to work as before but will terminate on 30 June 2012 and its contents be deleted, so you will need to find alternatives before then.
The migration process has probably logged you out of MobileMe and you will need to go to System Preferences>MobileMe and sign in again.
This article examines alternatives to the facilities iCloud does not provide:

Page file issue

hello team,
We have a weird issue running on one of the servers(w2k8 R2 ENt) where the page file is not getting saved on the reboot..i.e we set a value for page file 0f 200GB via GUI and the registry key also shows to be same..but on reboot of the server the value gets
chnaged to random numbers i.e sometime 25Gb or 45Gb and registry keys shows the same vaule as 200GB..
Anyone who faced such issue and any fix available for it.
Tried number of things:
Cleaned page file with option set to none..system rebooted..page file set to 200GB..on next reboot the value changes
Set it to automatic and then set the values back but on reboot the value chnages
Clean page file at shutdown
Sfc scan
tried setting page file via command line but to no go
saving the page file by another name pagefile1.sys/pagefile2.sys..
No options seem to be working...

Hi ManeeshB,
Could you refer the following KB to use PowerShell cmdlet to set the pagefile then monitor this issue again.
Configure memory dump files for Server Core installation options of Windows Server 2008
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee424384(v=ws.10).aspx

http://social.technet.microsoft.com/wiki/contents/articles/13383.best-practices-for-page-file-and-minimum-drive-size-for-os-partition-on-windows-servers.aspx
Please refer the following KB to confirm you have not use the “Clear virtual memory pagefile when system shuts down” Group Policy:
Clear virtual memory pagefile when system shuts down Group Policy
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/320423
More information quote from Windows Internals.
What triggers the file to grow?
Page file grows as the system needs additional memory to satisfy the memory pressure load being placed on it by the software running on the system.
What triggers the file to shrink?
If the Paging file(s) have increased from the minimum as a result of memory load the system will shrink the paging file provided there is space for a sufficient number of free
pages still left after the shrinking for a sudden need of page file space.
The check to determine if the paging file can be reduced is performed when a process exits.
I’m glad to be of help to you!

DPS for iPad, linking pages to/from a multi-page file

Hi Everyone!
I've been building an InDesign CS6 file for an iPad presentation, it contains video files, Edge Animate files, and more basic text and photos; there's 16 pages total so far. It is horizontal format only.
Now, there's a new page with 10 links, each is a link to a multi-page PDF article. I don't want the user to leave Adobe Content Viewer to view these documents. One solution I have is to convert each page to a JPEG, use the overlay feature to pan the image up and down to read it. A mini navigation will be built to jump from page to page or return to the originating link page. The problem is the user has to tap the image first to enable panning, not a big issue, but is not intuitive.
Is there another way I can display these pages while staying in the Content Viewer, keeping the iPad horizontal, and offering a "return" button to jump back to the originating page?

Thanks Bob, everything is in one folio, I'm going to give that a try. I've seen that solution in a video before but the whole folio/article definition and relationship is shaky in my head.
I haven't created article links before, for those that are reading this, the below video covers how to create the article links.

Windows Server 2012 - Page File Recommendations

I need to know Microsoft's recommendations for the page file settings in Windows Server 2012. In previous versions of windows it has been calculated at 1.5 x RAM but i cant find any recommendations when it comes to Server 2012.

The rules/practices for setting page files on virtual memory systems has remained the same for years and years. What has changed is the cost to implement a solution. As noted earlier, the old method of calculation was built on the fact
that memory was an expensive commodity when compared to the cost of the disk. Even back then, when memory was so expensive, the best solution was still to add memory. But, people wanted to implement a less costly solution. Microsoft published
an article for Windows XP/Windows Server 2003 64-bit. Nothing in the process of determining the optimal page file has changed, but the cost of the solution has changed. Therefore, you can follow the instructions in this Microsoft support article
- http://support.microsoft.com/?id=889654 - to determine the appropriate page file size. If you want to really learn about what is going on, read
http://blogs.technet.com/b/markrussinovich/archive/2008/11/17/3155406.aspx. I think you should be able to trust Mark Russinovich' word.
Today, for servers with 64 GB of RAM, I generally set up a page file of 2-4GB. On a server with 256 GB of RAM, I set up a page file of 2-4 GB of RAM. This is because Microsoft also included new capabilities in what is captured, allowing you to
capture just the most important stuff that is in memory when the system crashes instead of all memory. Windows operates most efficiently if it has a page file. The thing is that if you have enough memory on your system to run the load you are putting
on it, the primary purpose of sizing the page file comes down to determining how much of the memory you want to capture should the system crash. If I am running something like Hyper-V, and I have 256 GB of memory, almost all that memory is allocated
to VMs. That means that the contents of that memory is totally useless to find the root cause of a crash. That information is most likely going to be found in the first 512 MB of memory. Switch to a different application like SQL. In
the case of SQL, again, the operating system is taking up the first part of memory and SQL is generally using the rest of memory as cache. What is in cache is of little or no interest to determine why the system crashed, so why build a page file to capture
it?

HT3705 Has anyone any ideas why a Pages file v09 exported from v5 bloats from around 212kb to 5.9mb? I had to export existing template files back from the latest version to v09 due to limited features in latest version.

Recently updated Pages because of Mavericks update, quickly discovered how limited new version is, exported altered files back to Pages 09 format and re-opened using earlier Pages. In amending to re-save as templates again noticed a 212kb file has bloated to 5.9mb.
Has anyone any ideas or experience as it will not take long to fill up a 1TB drive at this rate! - I had left behind PC's and MS Office and was reasobaly happy using Pages for business, but it looks like Office for Mac is now going to b eneeded.

Yes, I opened them all with 5 then re-saved as v5 templates. Then realised other problems with v5 so exported them all back v09 as xxx.pages files. Used some with v09 and noticed they had all increased.
I just checked again and noticed that the initial v5 saved templates had typically increased from 412kb to 1.1MB (they do have 4 graphics) - then after exporting the templates are 5.9MB in v09 an dthe files are still 412kb.
I had a similar problem many years ago using RTF files with Word and they kept bloating everytime you edited and saved due to saved or linked graphics?

Pages 08 won't open my old pages file

I just upgraded to Pages 08 and when I try to open the file I was working on yesterday, with the previous version of pages, it says "The document...couldn't be opened". How can I open the old pages file with the new version?

It may be useful to trash the preferences file:
<bootVolume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Preferences:com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
But I'm afraid that the document is corrupted.
Control click its icon then select the "Show package's contents" in the contextual menu.
The standard contents is:
Contents
QuickLook
index.xml.gz
The described message is displayed when there is no "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") file.
It is also displayed when the "index.xml.gz" (or "index.xml") is badly formed.
The index may be dropped when the documents where stored on an iDisk.

I saved my document as only .doc but not as a pages file and now I cannot edit anything and half the document looks incredibly screwed up, how did this happen?

I forgot to save the pages file, I do back up on time machine could a temporary file be in there somewhere? It was a 30+ page custom designed presentatiion that took me two weeks. i cannot believe I only saved it as PDF and .doc! My current theory is that I can only edit the document in pages as a pages file since that is what I had been doing. Please help if anyone has had this problem before or know how I can recover that screen I was working with a few days ago before I saved as a Word doc!!

Despite what Apple and its employees say Pages is not a 100% replacement for Word.
Pages files exported to .doc will have minor to major differences.
You should always have a Pages version. Exporting is only so non Mac and non Pages users may read it, and even there you should use .pdf to keep its appearance as close as possible to the original.
It sounds like you used a lot of Pages' features which turned out to not have Word equivalents.

HT4910 hello i have installed icloud on my mac, ipad and iphone. but when i create a document on my mac it does not show up on Pages file in my Ipad/ How do i get it to go from one to the other? and how do i back up to icloud from my Mac

Hello
I have uploaded and installed ICLOUD to all three of my devices MAC, i pad nd Iphone.
From Ipad to Iphone i am able to retrieve PAGES documents as i write them. BUT now that i am back home i see that none of the new documents i am working on which are stored on my desktop are showing up in my PAGES file on my Ipad or Phone.
How do i save to icloud from mac, how come i can't retrieve docs from IPAD to MAC either?
should i back up my mac ICLOUD FIRST? and if so, Where do i back it up from?
going mad as i edit on one during the day and the other in the evening , and would like them to sync automatically
please can you help
thanks
marellaopp

SADLY not as i downloaded an upgrad to my original PAGES/
i have in the meantim had to open www.icloud. then from there import the file that i am working on and then check on ipad if it uploaded/ yes it did.
but what a waste of time as it doesn not save any changes done automatically back in the cloud....
i am now downloading the new LION and hope that it will fix the problem
i cant find any other way. I was lead to believe that you wrote, it saved automatically, on to the cloud, you then opened anohter device in anotother country even, and the new file was there, waiting, in its latest version.......
and the same magic was supposed to happen in reverse.
It doesn't/
if i have to open a browser, go to www.icloud....why on earth did they not just leave us an icon to drop it in in that case?
I hope the new lion will help resolve the isssue/
any other ideas> keep em coming...thank you so much.

I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems. Is this just a glitch? The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
Håkan

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

Cannot open Pages File, Please HELP

Hi,
I've just had disaster happened to me. I've moved about 1GB of data from computer for Flash drive. When attempted to eject thumb drive, it kept saying, drive is in use. Stupid me just removed that drive. Using Data Rescue I've managed to recover the files, but.... All of them are corrupt
Most important file to me is Pages document I was working on for the whole day. I can see files inside 'package' of that .pages file, but none of them could be opened.
Is there a way of repairing that file? Or at least, is there a way of extracting text from it, that's what I care about the most...
Any help, suggestions is appreciated....
Thank you all!

Hello
How is your flash drive formatted?
I assumes that it is not in a format correctly treating packages.
When we have to copy a document made with an iWork application, it is safe to pack it as a zipped archive.
Doing so get rid of a lot of problems.
In a Pages document, we may see:
a -- a subfolder named Contents and an other one named QuickLook. Don't touch them.
b -- several picture files corresponding to images inserted in the document.
When the doc is in good health, double clicking these files open them in their creation application.
c -- index.xml.gz which is a packed version of the XML file describing our document.
If we double click it, it expands as index.xml which may be read in any XML aware application.
I met some Pages documents whose all items open perfectly but whose the XML file appears as corrupted for Pages.
It seems that something was wrongly described when the file was created so that Pages is unable to re-read it.
May you pack one of your odd files as a zip archive, attach it to a mail and send it to
koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
I would look at its components and if it appears to be the kind of described corruption, I wish to be allowed to send it to Apple.
I assumes that with some samples of corrupted files they would be able to identify what is the wrongdoer.

Pages 5.0 won't open Pages files

OK, this is weird. Since upgrading to Mavericks with the free Pages 5.0 upgrade last week, all of my Pages files have been opening in Pages 5.0 just fine -- until today. An update dialog opened today November 4 2013 around 3pm saying there was a Pages update. We proceeded with the update and now any document that was opened and saved since the Mavericks update won't open as before. Instead an error dialog box appears stating "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document.". So I click "OK" and then open the document using "Open With" and select Pages 5.0, which is now set as "default" and the file opens fine. I save the file in Pages 5.0. But the next time I go open it, it gives me the exact same stupid dialog box.
If I open a Pages file that has not been opened since the Mavericks update, it opens in Pages 09. If I select "Open With" and select the new "default" Pages 5.0 and save it in that version, the next time I open the file I get that same stupid dialog again: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document."
What the he**? Am I going to have to use "Open With" for every single Pages 09 file that I want to open in Pages 5.0?

I'm having a similar problem.
Running Pages 5.1 on my iMac and my MacBook Pro.
I can't open any Pages document on iCloud from my iMac, regardless of where that document was originally created (iMac, MBP, or iPad). I have tried File -> Open File... from within Pages, as well as by double-clicking the file within the iCloud folder in Finder. However, I can copy the file to my desktop via Finder, and then open it from my desktop. I can create a file in Pages on my iMac and save it to iCloud, but then I can't open it later.
However, I can open any Pages document on iCloud from my MacBook Pro without any problem - including the ones that won't open on the iMac.
