Pages 09 document; open and close many times; right way with Lion?

I have a 106 page document that increases in size on a daily basis. With OS 10.7, iWork/Pages 09 on my new, iMac, it's common that I lose as much as two sentences after the document is closed and re opened. After 10.7 was installed the document was closed using Command - S, and subsequently closed by pulling down File and selecting Close. - Not the way to close; the red button was so easy with 10.6. IS UNINSTALLING LION THE BEST SOLUTION?
And yes, I've read the sorry jibberish in the Pages 09 manual - which doesn't say how to open and close repeatedly a document with Pages 09.
So, with the Lion - the worst ever of spending $30, is it necessary to do a Command S every time you close? And what exactly is necessary each time you close a document using Pages 09 and Lion? - And about Auto Save; well, what about Auto Save? - The Lion means well for something other than common, understandable, text production. -- How about a separate application of Appleworks for text producers like me?

The red button is always available under 10.7 (or 10.7.1)
Under 10.7, press cmd + S once when you create the document.
After that, the system automatically save your changes.
No need for cmd + S.
To close the document we may use :
the red button
cmd + W
File > Close
as it was with older systems.

Firefox opens and closes many times for no aparrent reason

when I am on firefox, for no apparent reason and not always, the browser will open,close,open,close,open,close many times until it decides to stay open. this happens when I am just opening the browser and have on home page igoogle.

For me, often when I minimize FF, it pops up and minimizes about 20 times until it finally stays minimizes. This has been happening for several days now.

Open and close data input in DP.

Hi,
We have two periods in the future (actual and next) and we need open and close
actual year for input with macros.
We have built two macros to open and close actual year for input. The macro
to close the input is working OK (COL_INPUT( 0 )). the macro to open the input (COL_INPUT( 1 )) works OK too,
but the color doesn´t change, It goes on in grey color instead of white color.
We have used some operators (ROW_BG(), ROW_FG()...) to try to change the color but doesn´t change.
Did you Know how to bulid the macro to open actual year changing to white color?
Thanks in advance.
Raúl.

do you mean it is grey but you can still enter data?
check what your "input from" date is on the planning book design(data view tab)
I have seen this happen too... But, since you are using the column input macro you can let your input from be right from the beginning and use the macro to make it open and closed at the relevant years(means you set the column_input (0) for history too
the KF that should not be edited is set in the setting "output only"

Project Takes FOREVER to Open and Close

We have a large RoboHTML project that outputs to a WebHelp
system. The version of RoboHelp is X 5, possibly a version after
that, I think - but dated 2004. Two of us share this project, but
we don't use Version Control. The size of the project is about 45
MB, and includes several subfolders of topic HTMs. My coworker has
the same issues, possibly a bit faster than what I have, but still
excessive Open and Close Project times.
It takes an extremely long time to open, like about 10
minutes or more. When I select to Close Project, the CPU Usage
shown in Task Manager is up to 100 % and stays there, so the
closing process is maxed out and frozen, and obviously isn't happy.
Even when I close other applications, the project can take over 30
minutes to close - no error messages, just hourglassing. While I'm
using the project, it doesn't max out. There have been times when,
as much as I hated to do it, I had to do an End Task with Task
Manager because the project wasn't closing (and I had to leave).
Also, note that the CPD file of this project is over 4 MB. I
just was reading about deleting the CPD file, so I plan on doing
that.
I'm not sure of any more details I can provide. While I'm
working on the project, there are usually no freezes or response
time problems. Just the extremely long Open Project time - and even
longer Close Project time.
I would so appreciate any solutions or ideas. Thanks!!!
Susan

Update - I deleted the CPD file, and it opened a lot faster!!
It also closed in a reasonable amount of time - however, I did not
work in the project for a while before I closed it. So we'll see
what happens when I close it at the end of the day.
So, the deletion of the CPD file may have solved the problem.
However, if anyone wants to offer feedback on this possible
solution, I would appreciate it.
Thanks!
Susan

Same problem. Tried reinstalling Pages. Didn't help. The behavior is like I am typing with a white font on a white background, but I am not.

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

Since installing LTR 5.4, which I've now upgraded to 5.6, I've encountered repeated slowness and malfunctions in operations, especially when using the Compare View function and the Tab key to open and close the right and left side panels. Such problems never arose during two years of using LTR-4 and nothing else has changed on my computer. I have a pretty simple system with only a few plug-ins, which are usually not in operation. I have 12GB of RAM in my Windows 7 PC. I could illustrate these problems with screen shots if you would tell me how to submit screen shots. Otherwise I will try to describe the problems in words.
The problem is clearly cumulative, growing worse as usage time passes. Compare View feature gradually slows down and eventually seems to choke as my work session proceeds. If I Exit LTR and re-enter and start all over, things will work normally for maybe 30 minutes, but then the Compare View feature begins to become very slow to respond. In a recent example with my screen full of thumbnails in Library mode I highlighted two images to compare. LTR started to open the Compare View screen by first having the top row of thumbnails disappear to be replaced by the "SELECT" and "CANDIDATE" words in their spaces (but no images), but Compare View never succeeded in gaining control of the screen. After some seconds the top row of thumbnails reasserted its position and the Compare View windows disappeared. But LTR kept trying to bring them back. Again the top row of thumbnails would go away, Select and candidate would reappear, try again, and give up. This went on for at least 2-3 minutes before I tried to choose File and Exit, but even that did not initially want to respond. It doesn't like to accept other commands when it's trying to open Compare View. Finally it allowed me to exit.
To experiment I created a new catalog of 1100 images. After 30-40 minutes, the Compare View function began to operate very slowly. With left and right side panels visible and two thumbnails highlighted, hitting Compare View can take half a minute before the two mid-size images open in their respective SELECT and CANDIDATE windows. When the side panels are open and two images are in the Select/Candidate spaces, hitting the Tab button to close the side panels produces a very delayed response--25-30 seconds to close them, a few more seconds to enlarge the two images to full size. To reverse the process (i.e., to recall the two side panels), hitting Tab would make the two sides of the screen go black for up to a minute, with no words visible. Eventually the info fields in the panels would open up.
I also created a new user account and imported a folder of 160 images. After half an hour Compare View began mis-placing data. (I have a screen shot to show this.) CANDIDATE appears on the left side of SELECT, whereas it should be on the right. The accompanying camera exposure data appears almost entirely to the left of the mid-screen dividing line. Although the Candidate and Select headings were transposed, the image exposure data was not, but the data for the image on the right was almost entirely to the left of the line dividing the screen in two.
Gurus in The Lightroom Forum have examined Task Manager data showing Processes running and Performance indicators and they see nothing wrong. I could also send screen shots of this data.
At this point, the only way I can process my images is to work 30-40 minutes and then shut down everything, exit, and re-start LTR. This is not normal. I hope you can find the cause, and then the solution. If you would like to see my screen shots, tell me how to submit them.

Logging open and close of documents?

I'd like to have a record of when I open and close documents, so that I can support my diary notes of jobs I've been working on. So I need to have the filename recorded. I can find an app' to log application usage; is there one for file usage ?
regards, alan

Hi, alan.
This search of VersionTracker reveals two apps that track document time. Of the two, T3, looks exactly like what you want, but it is expensive. Check out the developer's site
Active Timer may be more to your liking: it can track time at the application window level and is free.
You can investigate other solutions by searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. The user-submitted reviews accompanying the listings can be helpful in sorting the wheat from the chaff. Try searches for time track and look at the various options each provides.
Good luck!

IPad mini randomly opens and closes apps, changes pages on book readers

My iPad mini has gone crazy, it randomly opens and closes apps, plays games itself, changes pages whilst reading a book, starts flashing. Tried everything, rebooted the device, updated it always with the latest software update and have reset the iPad as a new IPad with no success. The problem still occurs which is really enjoying. I checked on the Internet and I'm not the only one with an iPad mini with this problem. The iPad is older than one year, what are my chances of resolving this and how?

I have this problem with my PDFs too. I'm using a lot of PDFs from the German RPG "The Dark Eye" (Das schwarze Auge) from their the PDF shop "ulisses ebooks".
However, i recognized that I don't get this random black boxes after a restart of the iPad Air for a long time. But when it starts it's become very frequently.
To remove the black boxes for a single page i can close the book and reopen it or just mark text from the corrupted page. Zoom in removes the black boxes too, but if you zoom out there are visible again.
I also recognzied that this must be a problem if the iPads PDF engine and not from iBooks. I got the same random black boxes in a PDF which I viewd in Safari.
I think that changing the reader will only help if it has its own PDF Engine. Don't know if this possible in iOS.
Perhaps it's some kind of memory leak of the iOS PDF Engine, after this bug apperas only after some time of ussage.

IE open and close immediately. Can't fix using many methods.

A user reports that can't use IE 8 suddenly.
His PC is Windows 7 Pro sp1 and using Internet Explorer 8.
Don't know what he did before and he ever tried restore to previous point but no help.
I've tried the following.
1. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/967896
   Reset Internet Explorer to its default settings or
   Uninstall and then reinstall Internet Explorer through Turning on/ off windows features.
2. Use other user like Administrator to open IE. But result is same
3. Upgrade to IE 11. Still open and close immediately only.
   Repeat step 1 but still not solve.
4. Downloaded IE 11 and installed manually but it stated that IE 11 was installed. (Had turned off IE to uninstall it through Turning on/ off windows features)
Asked him to use Chrome but some websites need IE. So he must use IE too.
Please advise that how to fix it.
Hope not need to re-install OS.
Many thnaks.

1. Are there any traces in Event logs?
2. Try to delete history in IE
3. Try to disable add-ons.
4. If nothing helps, analyze your system with Process Monitor and Process Explorer. Check which programs starts with Autoruns (all programs are from Sysinternals)

How to automatically open and close an application at specific times?

Hi,
I am trying to figure out how to open and close an application at specific times.
I have set iCal up to open it no problem...however, the application needs you to click yes before entering into it upon boot.
How do I do this and close the app. I tried creating a workflow in automator, but iCal simply opens the workflow and does not play it. This also does not solve the issue of needing the 'yes' button to be clicked.
Kind regards,

My macbook is going to sleep while I'm working or viewing something. I will sometimes have to open and close it several times to get it to "wake up" again. Any suggestions?

If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out these instructions.
Triple-click anywhere in the line below to select it:
syslog -k Sender kernel -k Message CSeq "Previous Shutdown" | tail | open -f -a TextEdit
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C).
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V).
The command may take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear.
A TextEdit window will open with the output of the command. Post the contents of that window, if any — the text, please, not a screenshot. The title of the window doesn't matter, and you don't need to post that.
