Pages 2 locks up..

My copy of Pages V 2 is locking up. I've tried re-installing the latest version but no help. The program brings up the file and after a minute or so I can't enable any menus or scroll bars. The windows won't close and I can't even quit the program. Had to use force quit. Can anyone give my a clue? Thanks...

Pisces,
Yeah, my suspicion is that by just dragging the Pages app to the Trash, you left the corrupted files on your computer. Do what Kurt says by running a search on the words Pages, Keynote, and iWork (just to be safe) -- then trash them. You should be trashing the apps, packages, receipts, and plist files.
Rather than do a Spotlight search, I'd use a wonderful utility called AppZapper. You just drag an unwanted app (in your case, Pages and Keynote) to its icon, and the utility finds all associated files. You can try it out by downloading from here: http://appzapper.com

  • Pages '08 lock ups

    A couple months ago, I started having issues with Pages '08. It would lock up while I was typing, or even something as simple as scrolling the page down. All I would get was the little rainbow wheel and a locked up document. At first I thought it was just the one file I was working on, but now it happens all the time. It locks up so bad sometimes that it forces a restart of the computer. No other programs are having this issue. Should i just reinstall Pages '08 from the disc or what. Cause this has made my main wordprocessing program completely useless. I'm on Mac OSX 10.5.8

    Update:
    Well I think I got it figured out. For some reason, the spell checker was causing the problem. I've always had it set to "Check spelling as you type", but for some reason that is now causing Pages to lock up. So my work around is to simply turn off the "Check Spelling as you type" option, and now there are no more lock ups.

    Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

  • Page Properties Locked by Template

    I am getting this error when I click on the Page Properties
    button: "All of this page's properties are locked by a template, so
    you can't edit them."
    When I look at the template in Dreamweaver they don't appear
    to be locked and when I compare the template to a template from
    another site (that doesn't have this problem in Contribute) they
    are identical.
    What am I missing?

    Yes, be sure of where the editable regions are defined in
    your code to make sure you don't accidentally have some weird piece
    of code or a tag wrapped in an 'editable region' tag.
    Also, is the file locked by Contribute? Is the Edit button
    available? If the page is locked, the page properties may be locked
    as well.

  • Can I create a new document with a locked PDF file, add new pages, and lock it all again?

    I published a PDF document ten years ago and now want to add Creative Commons licensing language to the copyright page.  But I forgot the password!  I gather from the Forum that there is no way to recover the password.  However, I wonder if I can take the locked PDF file, create a new document (adding a new page for the licensing information), then lock the whole thing up again.  Will this work?  Thanks for your help!                                                                               

    To create an unprotected file you would need the password.

  • Newb - embedding a MOV in a web page and "locking" it?

    I am aiming at producing online tutorials on my web site.
    I've used iShowU to capture the screen and intend to edit the video in FCP.
    My question is: when I embed the tutorial video (a MOV file) in my web page, I don't want the viewer to be able to download it to his machine or somehow extract it from my website.
    Is there a way of "locking" MOV files so they can't be downloaded?
    Thanks,,

    I don't know whether this would work, or would suit you, but you could investigate hosting the movies on YouTube, which I believe does not allow downloading: you can embed these movies in a web page. However I don't know whether the method mentioned by the previous poster would be inhibited by this.

  • How do I stop pages from locking my documents when I don't access them for a while?

    Every time I open up a document I've not looked at for a little while, Pages decides to lock it. It's not a big deal, it's just an annoyance with absolutely no obvious use that I wish I could be rid of.

    You can't turn it off entirely, but you can change the period of time before documents lock in the Options tab of Time Machine Preferences.

    Install Palm Desktop 6.2.2 on the new computer.  Then if you have a wireless router, use Wi-Fi to sync your TX to the new installation.  If your new computer is 32-bit, you should also be able to sync with a cable.
    If you use any third-party apps which have a desktop component (such as Documents To Go), you'll also have to install those apps onto the new laptop.  Also, in order to continue to use it on your new laptop you would need to upgrade Documents To Go to the latest Vista/7 compatible version.
    Strong suggestion: before you do anything, download and install the freeware backup application called NVBackup.  It will backup your entire TX's contents to a SD card, so that in case anything goes awry in the migration, you will be literally moments away from restoring your data.

  • Page height locked in Muse

    Due to the placement of a large image, my master page expanded to 1900 px, whereas the actual page size is much smaller @1256 px. The image was removed but the page will not adjust. The bottom of the page and footer arrows are locked. I've tried resizing and resetting the page size in page properties and site properties, with no change. I am flummoxed. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    Thanks for sharing the file. Try these two steps
    1. In your master page, adjust the bottom of the page. I have set it to 1300px.
    2. Go to your home page, scroll down till 2000 px, you will be able to see a blank text box (using select all) here, remove it. Adjust the height now. It will now allow you to reduce the height.
    Try these steps and let me know if that works

  • Pages - Ebooks - Locks - any advice?

    I've producing a number of Ebooks using Pages. Could someone recommend how I get from the final Pages project document to a lockable PDF to be marketed as an Ebook?
    Do I need a special application? What might that be?
    Any help would be most appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Ben

    As far as I know, Pages doesn't offer the ability to lock a PDF (same thing for other formats).
    The property of encryption is a property of the format first and foremost. If the format supports encryption, then the property of encrypting something is either a property of the application (the Adobe idea) or a property of the operating system services (the Apple idea).
    So, encryption is not a property of Pages but a property of Mac OS X. Similary, advanced composition services for typography and advanced separation services for photography and lithography are a part of the operating system
    The export path for PDF supports an encryption option thus File > Print > PDF: Encrypt PDF. The encryption is weak, not strong, and the encryption does not differentiate between opening the PDF and manipulating the kinds of content in the PDF.
    These options are available in Adobe implementations. Among other things, they can be postprocessed, that is, they can be added after exporting from Apple Pages to PDF. In this case, the Quart PDF is loaded, the encryption options are enabled, and the PDF is re-exported.
    While Adobe online technical help is not a stellar instance of user friendliness, adding basic encryption has been done the same way since sometime around Acrobat 2.0:1994. Go to the File menu, then select Document Properties > Security > Security Method.
    Would it were that the idea that absolutely anything is a property of the APPLICATION would go away. This idea is incorrect. If this idea were correct, it would cause an operating system that revolves around a graphic user interface to collapse in chaos.

  • My firefox locks up routinely on Gmail and Yahoo mail sites. It opens normally, and when I go to the login page, it locks ... in both instances.

    My software locks up while I have Firefox open and am seeking to login to either gmail or yahoo mail.
    It works well until I get to the login screen ... and then locks and will not allow any keyboard or mouse work ... except that I can get to my taskmaster and close Firefox and then everything works.
    Today, for the first time, it did it on another site.
    Is there a 64bit iteration?
    I am using the 32 bit Firefox ... the latest version (This all began with this upgrade) on a 64 bit/Windows 7.
    Thanks. rg

    Hi,
    Please check if this happens in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe%20Mode Safe Mode]. Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', and themes ('''Appearance''') in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''.

All these settings/options/add-ons can also be individually or collectively disabled/enabled/changed in Firefox normal mode to check if an extension, theme, option or hardware acceleration is causing issues. Disabling/enabling hardware acceleration, and some types of add-ons in normal mode may require a Firefox restart.

  • My Pages has locked up. I can see my documents but nothing will open. I cannot open a new document either. Any ideas?

    I have used my Pages software for years. All of a sudden, I cannot open anything. It shows my documents on the "open" tab but then in will not open them. Also, when I try and create a new document, I get the error message stating that "Starting point 'blank.template' couldn't be found. It was moved or deleted." So I'm thinking my whole Pages application has been deleted somehow. Is there a way to re-install it without repurchasing it? Help!

    Is there a way to re-install it without repurchasing it?
    Where and how did you buy it? As a DVD from a store, a download from Apple or from the Mac App Store?
    If you got it from the Mac App Store, just delete it and (re)install it from the Purchases section.
    If you received a DVD when you bought it you just need to delete it, reinstall it and update it.
    The best way to completely remove iWork from your Mac is to use Yvan Koenig's AppleScript:
    Go to https://public.me.com/koenigyvan
    Choose For iWork > iWork '09 > Uninstall iWork '09.zip
    Download Uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button
    It'd might help to know what version of Pages and OS X you're using.

  • Objects on home page are "locked" together

    I hope this is an easy fix but I can't find it....
    I have 5 pages to my little website. On all of them except the home page I can grab a text box or a pix and reposition it.
    On my Home page I have a picture, a tiny text box. I'm trying to add a text box in between the pix and the tiny text box and the pix and the tiny text box are now linked together.... when i move one the other moves. But they are clearly separate elements, they have their own boxes and such.
    How do i unlink them?
    Susan

    Hi Susan,
    This can happen if all the objects are inside a text box.
    Inside a text box objects are relative to each other.
    If this is your case, use the Inspector / Text / Wrap to order them.
    Or select the pict, copy it, delete it.
    Click outside the text box to dé-select it.
    Then paste the pict over (not inside) the text box.
    Does that help ?
    Kind regards,
    Leo
