Pages 5.0 not saving documents and crashing

I upgraded my Imac to the maverick and pages was working fine so I uprgaded pages to the last version and I can't basically edit/save my documents all my work is stopped and I need a fix for it as sson as possible, I save all my work in a external network drive and this is the behaviour I having since the last update:
Pages crashes when I try to edit a document, when a copy and paste a table the copy is not identical.
Also the auto save is not working and when I try to do it manualy it also say the document can't be saved.

Yes. I tested to see if auto save was working. It is not. I had several pauses in my work flow and then waited more than 5 min. Only when I hit save am I given a version I can revert to.

Pages not saving document causes crash

Yesterday I made changes to a document using Pages. Today, the document with changes is shown in the thumbnail, when I try to open it Pages shuts down and brings me to the home screen. I was able to email a copy of the document to myself and it does not include the changes I made yesterday, even though I can see the changes on the thumbnail view. Also, the document shows it was last updated at 5;57 last night, which is when I stopped working. To further complicate things, if I search for the name of the document, there is no record. Any ideas what happened and how/if I can access the updated document. Yes, I have restarted the ipad and am running the most current of everything.

Hi Terri020,
I've the same problem after 2 hours of editing ...
Apple Inc., do you have a solution or an update for this error ?
Hope to have a update/answer soon,
Thanks,

Pages is not saving document correctly. After saving the changes either do not appear or you can not open the file. The error is "not a valid format" I am in Pages '09 4.1 (923). I also use Parallels. Anyone having similar issues?

I'm not sure that Lion AutoSave feature apply to network servers.
I'm just sure that the Versions feature doesn't.

I have scanned about 1600 pages of 100-year old documents and saved them as pdf files. I would like to search them for keywords and phrases. Can anyone recommend software that can be used as an index for these documents?

If you have Adobe Acrobat (not Adobe Reader) the program can perform an OCR on the document you acquired.
In the past I used ABBYY FineReader

Using Pages, I have created a document and inserted a Table for use in logging an inventaory. When I came to print this off however the lines for the table were missing but the text was in the Table format, weird! How do I print the Table?

I need to be able to right click on a saved document and have the option to convert to Adobe PDF. I have the Abobe Acrobat Xl Pro and used to have this option until I had to create a new subscription. What do I need to do in order to have this option?

Can you think of any recent changes on your computer or in Firefox, new programs, add-ons, etc.?
Have any cats walked across your keyboard recently?
My first guess is the same as yours, which is a "zoom" issue. Holding down the Command key and pressing 0 (zero) should reset the zoom level of the current site to the standard level. Is that still too small?
Regarding content overlapping, this can occur for a few different reasons. Please check on these:
(1) "Text Only" zoom
If View menu > Zoom > Zoom Text Only has a checkmark, click it again to unselect it.
(2) Manually setting font sizes
In the Preferences dialog (either the "3-bar" menu button or the Firefox menu) > Content > "Advanced" button
If the Minimum font size is set to a number larger than 9, change it to 9 or None. A large minimum font size often will wreck the layout.
At the top, there is "Fonts for" drop-down that usually will say Latin or Other Writing Systems. You will want to make the same change for both of those, so select whichever one isn't currently displayed.
Finally, make sure the checkbox for "Allow pages to choose their own fonts" is checked and OK out of the dialog.
Any difference so far?

Mail is not saving attachment and save as is not working

Suddenly my Mail is not saving attachment and save as is not working. I tried to save an email as I use to do but it is not completing the task. I should I do?
Thanks for any help,
Mario Lordeiro

Mario,
Was there also NO choice to View As Icon, in the contextual menu? If not, these items/images may be embedded in HTML, rather than true attachments. Other choices for normal attachments would include Open Attachment, Open With, Save to Downloads Folder -- are any of those present in the contextual menu?
With such a message open, click on View in the menubar, place the cursor on Message in the pull-down menu, and choose Raw Source. Is there any HTML code present? Is there a header immediately before any code representing what you believe is an attached file?
If need be, I can send you an email message with a known form of attachment.

When I click on Pages I get an old document and the spinning wheel, I can't create a new doc, open another doc, or edit the one that does open, what do I do now?

I go to the Pages application and click on it, and instead of getting the normal Pages menu I get an old Pages document and the spinning wheel. I can't open the menu bar, can't create a new document, can't open another document, can't access the menu. All that happens is the spinning wheel, it's been thirty minutes now and it's still spinning

Menu > Apple > Force Quit… > Pages
Try opening Pages with the shift key held down.
To escape what is happening in Pages if you can't get at the menu, click on your Desktop then come at the Apple menu by sliding around from top right.

When printing in InDesign CS2 it opens a window 'open document' and crashes

This is happening on 2 separate machines, and only intermittently, when I try to print a large InDesign file, instead of opening the print dialogue box a window opens that say 'open document' and then ties up the program so I have to force quit. Usually I have to restart my computer to get InDesign to re-open. This is happening on a new iMac and an old G5 but only sometimes.
Any insight anyone has would be greatly appreciated!

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.
See Basic Troubleshooting: Make a new profile:
*https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Basic+Troubleshooting#w_8-make-a-new-profile
There may be extensions and plugins installed by default in a new profile, so check that in "Tools > Add-ons > Extensions & Plugins" in case there are still problems.
If that new profile works then you can transfer some files from the old profile to that new profile (be careful not to copy corrupted files)

Time Reporting Periods page - Status change not saving

I'm a Project Server 2013 Admin and I'm trying to change the status of some time periods from Open to Closed. When I select Closed for a few time periods and click Save, nothing happens thus my changes are not saving. What could be causing
this to happen and better yet, what is the solution to fix this issue? For accounting purposes I need to be able to close out time periods. Please help!

Hello Levesque
You must do what Prasana says, but it is also a bug and was fixed in a CU. It is described in the following blog.

(not) saving documents in pages

Historically when I would exit a document I was working on I would get an option to save it with the new revisions or not. When I declined to save the document the old version would remain. Since the Mountain Lion upgrade when I exit a document it simply closes and saves all my revisions w/o giving me this choice. Do you know of anyway to revert back to the old method or a workaround? I have a variety of documents that I don't use enough to make templates for, but still need to change periodically for one time uses. Thank you.

It is easy to create sub-folders for your user-created templates in Pages. Unfortunately, it doesn't work in Numbers. First, you need to access the templates folder in your user library. Pages stores those you created & saved as templates in (your account) > Library > Application Support > iWork > Pages > Templates > My Templates. 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/
Now, create folders in the Templates folder, same level as the My Templates folder. You will now have sub-categories in the My Templates section of the template chooser.

Pages not saving documents to iCloud drive

After the latest OS X update I was no longer able to save Pages documents to the iCloud Drive, which meant I could not access those documents on other Apple devices (iPad, iPhone), nor could I save documents created on an IOS device to the iCloud Drive. Contacted Apple tech support and the problem has been elevated to the iCloud engineers. Hope to have asolution in a few days (or sooner).

VikingOSX, many thanks. What you have outlined is good to know. Easier and faster than converting and saving an original.
Now, something further. If I transfer a .doc document this way to iCloud, does the .doc document get converted, automatically, to a .pages document? I ask, because my reading here and there suggests that .doc documents get converted to .pages when they are put on iCloud, although it may be possible to retrieve a document put on iCloud in its original Word format. The somewhat older .doc documents that I have kept, and put on this Mac, have tables and formatting that may be slightly disturbed if converted to .pages documents - which is why I've left them alone so far, and not put them on iCloud. And I can send them out as .doc originals.
But iCloud is a great system/concept, and I'd like to use it for these older items as well. Of course, these .doc documents can remain on my Air as such, and I do do regular backups.
In any event, many thanks for your help.

When Firefox is closed, all previous search page and home page settings are not saved. Must reset firefox and reset homepage url everytime.

All previous search engines on "Manage Search Engines" are gone and cant access the "get more search engines"...all grayed out.

Session Manager and Save session are the ad-ons which can solve your problem of saving previous search pages and url.
To set up home page and its related error You have to read this :

PDF files not saving/missing and leaving "aa12345" and "aaa12345" files??? - Solution

risscand: I have workers that are unable to save and they are seeing an "aaa04916" type file in their working folder. This is causing us to lose work (because we are unable to save over the original file) or send out incomplete documents.
Mudassir: As I understand when you try to edit and save a document, it directly opens "Save As", is that correct?
risscand: No. When the user saves normally. Ctrl+S or the "Save" icon via the disk at the top of the page it appears to save however the PDF does not actually rewrite
risscand: This results in an aaa12345 file in the folder, but an unchanged PDF.
Mudassir: Okay.
Mudassir: Thank you for the information.
Mudassir: I will be glad to help you with this issue.
risscand: Excellent
Mudassir: May I know if you are chatting from the issue facing computer?
risscand: I am not currently experiencing the issue but many of the employees in this office are.
risscand: I can review the issue and see the files however, our worked is based off of a server.
Mudassir: Okay.
Mudassir: Marissa, this error often occurs due to a confict with Acrobat application and Windows Preview.
Mudassir: In order to resolve the issue, you need to disable the Windows Preview in the Windows Explorer
Mudassir: Follow the steps below to fix:
Mudassir: Go to “Computer” or a windows explorer window, click on the “View” tab and then make sure the “Preview pane” is unselected. Then try saving your PDF document again.
risscand: This option was not used by the users
risscand:: I just asked one of the individuals who was experiencing the issue and she has never used that option.
Mudassir: Just a minute.
risscand: Thanks
Mudassir: Thank you for your patience.
Mudassir: Are all the users using Acrobat or Adobe Reader to save the PDF files?
risscand: Acrobat
Mudassir: Is that PDF file saved on network?
risscand: Yes
Mudassir: Does that users have the complete access to the network drive and are all the users use that PDF at a time?
risscand: The PDF's are used one at a time. The individual who combines the reports that the workers probably does not have complete access to the network.
Mudassir: To re-write the PDF which is saved on network, the users need to have complete access. If not, they will get the save as option and they can save that PDF file on their local drive
Here are the options I got from Customer Service - Hopefully it will help some of you!
