Pages 5.1 on MacPro Crashes

Pages consistently yet sporadically crashes. I'm trying to create a document with lots of text and a number of tables, but nothing too cmplicated. Pages suddenly crashes at certain times either by just my typing of a single key or for no reason at all. This is infuriating. I'm running Pages 5.1 on Mavericks OS. Can anyone tell me what is going on and how to work around or fix it?

As many of these discussions show, Pages 5.1 is buggy. The best work around is to trash Pages 5.1 and use Pages 09 (i.e, Pages 4.3).

HAVING PROBLEMS WITH OS 10.6.8 PRINTING WITH XEROX PHASER. MacPro crashes when printer warms up. Does anyone have a solution? 6360 DN

I've been using Macs since 1984. Have been using Xerox Phaser printers for ten years. But with the last update to OS 10.6.8 last summer, I've had problems with crashing when printing. My MacPro crashes when printing via ethernet prot with Xerox Phaser 6360DN or when the printer warms up. Worked fine with OS 10.6.7. Internet postings suggest this is a common problem for all Mac users with Xerox Phaser printers. Apple put out an update to 10.6.8 to address the problem. I downloaded it but it did not solve the problem. Have tried all the Xerox drivers along with Apple drivers. Can't solve the problem. Xerox says it's an Apple problem. Does anyone KNOW how to solve the problem?

I was able to boot the recovery partition and I am now reinstalling MacOS. I've never seen anything like this, and the reinstall is not going well. Currently the system (which has a 27" cinma display) is showing the apple logo on the grey background, but the apple logo is not centered... I'm about to move the drives into another Mac (we have several of them).
Is this just a hardware problem, or something else?

so you areon Liom? ML? and kack clone if your system I take it.
Dud you reokace and upgrade the graohic card?
which MacPro modelntear?

I updated to os x 10.8.5 today and now I cannot publish changes to my web page through iweb. iweb crashes every time I try to publish

First do the following:
1 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iWeb's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder (Snow Leopard and Earlier).
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and hit the Enter button - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
Next, in Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder.
To open your domain file in Lion or Mountain Lion or to switch between multiple domain files Cyclosaurus has provided us with the following script that you can make into an Applescript application with Script Editor. Open Script Editor, copy and paste the script below into Script Editor's window and save as an application.
do shell script "/usr/bin/defaults write com.apple.iWeb iWebDefaultsDocumentPath -boolean no"delay 1
tell application "iWeb" to activate
You can download an already compiled version with this link: iWeb Switch Domain.
Just launch the application, find and select the domain file in your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder that you want to open and it will open with iWeb. It modifies the iWeb preference file each time it's launched so one can switch between domain files.
WARNING: iWeb Switch Domain will overwrite an existing Domain.sites2 file if you select to create a new domain in the same folder. So rename your domain files once they've been created to something other than the default name.

Maximum number of pages in Chapter? iBA crash and time out issue.

Hello,
I'm trying to put together a book with roughly 17,000 pages where each page is a single full page image displayed inline and is between 2 and 3 kb.. Preferably these would all be in a single chapter, but I run in to issues with this at around 2,000 pages. iBA will crash and when I try to reopen the file it will either time out or take several minutes.
Dividing my book in to chapters with around 250 pages each keeps iBA from crashing, but unfortunately the chapter structure doesn't make sense for the book.
To try to help iBA to run smoothly I've right clicked on the application icon, selected "get info" and then checked the box next to "run at low resolution". I've also disabled the display of thumbnail previews of pages in the app.
Is there anything else I can do to make iBA run faster? (Can I allocate more memory to it somehow?)
Is there a way to combine chapters?
Also, if anyone has ideas of ways to structure my pages that might use less memory than displaying my images inline, I'd be open to hearing that too.
Any help or suggestions are very much appreciated.
Thanks

A finished, exported iBooks file to be uploaded to the store...is limited to 2 gigabyte file size..whatever your content.
If your computer is running slow, you need to close all applications not needed.
Also when creating a large book file, its advisable to create chapters individually...giving a more manageable work file.
Create a master template and open..save the book as a master copy and save it. Open a copy of..the master copy snd name it ..say Chapter one...and repeat as needed. when done, copy the chapters from 2 onwards into the chapter one book, if needed, drag and drop the chapters up or down the tree to get the right order.

Multiple pages in FW save is crashing

Using 10 pages to save is either crashing or corrupting the file upon force quit. . CS5 OS X10.8 intel. Is their a limit on number of pages to use? Should I separate my files into "parts" of my final website. I will be exporting to Dreamweaver. My site will have 24 pages total.

You might want to look at the third party TTG Highslide Galley and TTG Pages. The gallery is just that, a web engine for creating galleries but with more options than the LR galleries, and TTG pages will index multiple galleries and generate a home page. That way you could have separate galleries for interir, exterior, etc. It also has client review functionality.

My MacPro crashed last week. Can I restore my old necessary calendar events that I lost but saved my data on an external HD?

My MacPro crashed last week The Mac repairman transferred all my data to an external HD before deleting and reconfiguring the MacPro.
Can I restore my old necessary calendar events that I lost but saved to an external HD? Where would I find my old calendar info on the external HD? I've tried search, but nothing revealed. I really need this calendar info for my business. Many thanks for any suggestions / advice.

You can try a file recovery application like File Salvage - you can download a free trial and it will scan the disk for you and tell you with might be recoverable. Actual recovery will require that you purchase the app. There may be many files with the same or similar names. Always recover the largest file size.
There are other such apps. Search on Macupdate or the App Store

Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

Pages (4.1, on Lion) crashes every time

My Pages (4.1, on Lion) crashes/freezes every time I want to save a file, print a file and often even when I open a file. It used to work very good but since a couple of weeks it crashes more and more, up to a point that I can't practically use it any more due to the frequent freezes. A freeze will take several minutes until I force stop it. I can save new files but when I open an existing file and try to save changes it stalls.
I tried fixing some fonts (some errors were reported there) but this didn't help, I tried to find some plint files but couldn't find any.
I only have Pages of all iWork programmes, I downloaded it from the App store.
What can I do?

I'm puzzled by this sentence :

As far as I know, you have nothing to do to save an existing file. Closing it will save automatically.
I'm afraid that you press cmd + S which is a really bad practice.
Doing that, you force the system to save a copy in the Versions dedicated area and, as doing that will flag the document as modified, the app will autosave it immediately after. The result is that you will double the time required by the correct scheme.
If your HD has a huge free space, pressing cmd + S as we had to do in pre Lion systems stores numerous different versions in the dedicated Versions area. When you will re-open the document, the app will not only open the 'standard file' but it will, at least, navigate in the Versions area to build a pointer to the versions related to the doc in progress. I guess that it's why the Versions tool default to the setting : keep a version every hour.

MacPro crashes

My MacPro crashes after I have been on about 15min. The screen will give me a message "Shutdown and Restart your Computer".
I have tried the PRAM reset, also tried Disk Warrior program.
Funny thing is it is not doing it all the time. I have not loaded any new programs or hardware.
any ideas?

If you're getting the message in multiple languages, that's called a kernel panic. It's usually, but not always, caused by a hardware issue, with memory the leading cause. See this Apple note: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3742

At only 15 months of age, my MacPro crashed yesterday! Any idea how I can save my hard disk from being destroyed if I hand it in for repair?

Open it up. Buy a new replacement drive. Install Mac OS. Then give it to them if you still have trouble.
As for the install failing,
I never do the older "archive and install"
I format and initialize first, even zero the drive, and only then install.
of course all the data is lost.
Data Rescue 3 demo can scan a drive but you need to have setup a 2nd boot drive to work from, AND you would need part of that 2nd drive partition for recovery of data. 30-50GB system partition and 150% the size of the drive you want to recover.
TimeMachine I never adopted or liked but 350% and would only use as secondary backup with cloned copy of your drive.
Backups can be scheduled, run at night or weekend or both, a weekly clone and daily sets.
Disk Warrior 4.2+ is another $100 (DR3 is about same but demo is free to try).
A spare external drive case $30? and TWO hard drives, a replacement and backup/recovery $100 each?
Just some ideas to throw out there....
Bootable clones though you will find are very useful, handy.
I like the small 40GB emergency boot partition - put one on your TimeMachine drive etc.
LION: the one good thinig: it has a recovery mode partition and new Macs have "net install" feature and minimal hardware diagnostic over the internet to do Apple Hardware Test. Lion $30 and might actually want to install it on external.
So DO try installing OS X on one of your external drives - create 40GB volume just for that - if you can please.

Pages 08 makes my computer crash

Hello,
Each time i use pages 08, the next application i open crashes (itunes, safari so far).
From there, i cannot really kill any applications or turn off my computer properly.
Does somebody have any idea about what happens? Did you ever hear about similar issues?
Thx a lot

HT202879 recently saved a Pages document to Dropbox. Now I cannot open it in the new Pages app, and I cannot use the previous Pages version to open it. Attempting to open the document gives me a flash of a page and then the program crashes. Anybody have a

I can go to Time Machine and find the document, even read it in Time Machine, but when I try to restore this version I get the same crash. I cannot open with Text or RTF. Preview opens a fuzzy version and can save out as a .PDF, but when I try to convert the .PDF to Word I get a bunch of unusual characters. Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated

OK, I've tried all these tips. Here's what I finally have to do: I open Time Machine. I click on the Pages file and open the Pages file in the Time Machine window. (Restore does not work; nothing works).
When the Pages file opens, I begin taking screenshots using shift-command-3. I take shots of all 200+ pages of this document. The screenshots are saved to my desktop.
I then move all 200+ screenshots into one folder, because, face it, that's too many icons to work with on one desktop screen.
Then I select all the screenshots in the folder at once and open them all in Preview. Then I crop every screenshot using command-K, and save using command-S, and then close that image using command-W.
When I have cropped all 200+ screenshots, I go back through the folder one by one and adjust the color on each one, moving the mid-range color up to about 75% and the sharpness filter up to about 75%, in order to compensate for the fuzzy image of the screenshot. You can't create a searchable PDF with an image that fuzzy. I do this one by one.
I make sure everything is saved.
Then I open all 200+ edited screenshots in Preview and print them out.
Then I take the 200+ pages of this ****** Pages file and run them through my scanner, making searchable 600 dpi PDFs.
Then I go to each of the 200+ PDFs and highlight the text, copy, and paste into a NEW word processing document.
If I'd had 300 pages like the last manuscript, or 700 pages like the one before that, I would have created an Automator program to do all that, but hey, this is not the kind of **** you expect from Apple. Really. It's taken all week.
So thanks for your help guys, but no other suggestions worked. I tried to force a download of the file from Dropbox, but got the same result. Besides, my Dropbox folder is saved locally on my harddrive, so it's not their fault. In fact, there is no data in the Dropbox folder under this file name, only preview files. Somehow the Time Machine will open the complete Pages file while in Time Macine, but will not import the saved Time Machine version to the working desktop because it is a preview (i.e., not Preview) image. This is a Pages problem, not a Dropbox problem. Pages did not save the full file.
If anybody knows a better way to do this, I'd like to know about it. If anybody knows whether I will ever be able to trust Pages again, I'd like to know that too.

Pages 3.0.2 Keeps crashing....

WoW! Am I surprised. I'm working with the latest OS of Tiger and just upgraded to the latest Pages (3.0.2) which keeps crashing it's own application whenever I try to work with a temple.
Any others running across this problem?

Hello
No problem for me.
Try to repair permissions using Disk Utility.

Both Firefox & IE crash even when I have disabeled plug-ins. I have installed new version of Firefox and problem continues. Seems to be related to Flash, but not sure. Firefox will stay open if I go to a page like Google. Also crashes in safe mode.

Both browsers seem to crash when the web page wants plug ins to access pages. Simple ones like Google's home page, or these for example, work fine. I have run several scans with security software, including Malware (latest database), and they don't find anything.

The problem began because my computer had to be sent in because it wouldnt turn on so i had to get it fixed they replaced the motherboard this was the second time the motherboard was replaced and once they did that my firefox hasnt worked the same. I can go on google chrome but thats not what i prefer to use.
& when i right click on firefox it says troubleshoot so im assuming its built in to my computer. im not sure.
I tried the profile manager to create a new profile and that has seemed to work so far. No crashing but it does freeze when i got to facebook and then i have to click ctr alt delete to open task manager to end firefox. It happened twice, the third time i went to google, then twitter and it didnt freeze. I then went to youtube and it froze. So Facebook and youtube make it freeze. Any idea why it does that?
& thank you so much for helping and responding to me.
