Pages 5.2.2 made a disaster of my Pages 09 documents

I updated to Pages 5.2.2 like a good little Apple-head, and when I opened a large, heavily formatted document to work on it, I got the dreaded "the following changes have been made to your document" message. Worse, all the hours and hours of formatting that went into creating that document are shot to h---. It looks like someone took all the text and graphic elements, threw them in a blender, and then tossed them back randomly onto the pages.
Page breaks, floating pictures, tables, and text boxes are strewn about like confetti. It would honestly be faster to start from scratch — in a better app — than to go back and fix all the f---ups.
Since I am on the road, I can't apply the fix I'm planning, but when I get home I will unless someone has a better idea. My fix is to connect my Time Machine HD and restore the previous version of Pages. I have already turned off automatic updates, and I will be sure to employ an abundance of caution before authorizing any future ones.
Does anyone know of another solution that I could perform in a hotel room far from my home office?
My computer is a mid-2010 15-inch MacBook Pro with 4 GB RAM and 40GB disk space remaining.

You should still have iWork '09 on your computer, moved to the Applications/iWork folder.
Don't save your file/s and they should still be good.
Pages 5 is an ongoing trainwreck. Almost 12 months on and it is still full of bugs and missing over 110 features. Best avoided.

I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries)

I need to reduce the size of several pdf files before transferring them onto a research database. Each file is made up of 100 images (pages of diaries) & is up to 1.36 GB in size. I have tried reducing file size in preview but the images are unreadable. Any ideas?

WHen I want to reduce the file size, I either use "Optimize Scanned PDF", or more often use "Reduce File Size". Both are on the Document menu. The Reduce File Size selection has some limited customization that is used, when selected.

I made a picture collage in pages from the pictures in iPhoto. You used to be able to print and then say save as a jpeg to iPhoto and that option is gone. How do you turn your document into a jpeg now.

If you chose print, you can save as PDF. If you open the saved PDF in preview, you can save as JPEG, GIF, PNG. FYI you can crop in preview.
Another option is you could use command + shift + 4 to do a screen shot of a specific part of of the screen.

Some pages can be edit on the Business Catalyst Console, but, unfortunately, some other pages can't.
Why some pages and not others ?
Thanks for yours answers.

Hi,
I have just checked at my end and it seems everything is working fine and I am able to edit even the English version pages.
Can you please try some other browser or in a different system to edit your site and check if you are able to do so.
Regards,
Rohit Nair

IWeb-made website posted to Google Page Creator

I've got a website that was made in iWeb and I want to upload it to Google Page Creator as a non-homepage subpage. My problem is that when I publish the iWeb page to a folder, it creates subfolders for the graphics and extras. GPC doesn't support folders, so when I upload the page, it is missing its pictures, since the iWeb page is referencing the subfolder. I was told on GPC support forum that I have to specify in iWeb for the pictures to be referenced to the root directory of the page. Then I would be able to upload the page and all the pictures, and the page would still load correctly. How do I get iWeb to reference the pictures in the same directory as the page....or how do I get iWeb to output the page without the subfolder?

Thank you for your suggestion. I eventually hacked out a fix by editing the html code produced by iWeb like you suggested. I changed all subfolder references to point to the same directory the html file was in, then I moved (and in some cases renamed - both in finder and in the code) the files in the subfolders up to the html root folder. After uploading, everything looks and works fine. Except for one issue with IE6, which I have started another thread for. If you would like to help out with that issue as well, I would be extremely grateful! It's located here: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1359321&tstart=0
Thanks again!

HT202879 How can I open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09)?

I need to open a file made with old version of Pages (before 09). How can I do this? I only have iworks Pages free with Mac Book Pro.

You need either Pages '09 or the original Pages '08? programs.
With Pages '09 you simply open it and it accurate converts it to Pages '09. Pages 5 will open the Pages '09 version but may alter/damage the file.
With Pages '08 you Export it to Word .doc/.docx with mixed results, then open that in Pages 5 which may alter/damage the file.

If I made a 'one page website' can I refer directly to a sub page

Hi all,
I am currently designing a new website and are considering a
Spry style 'one page website' vs. a more 'traditional model' with
individual pages that includes content for header, menu etc. via
server side includes so they can be executed in there own right.
I love the snappy smooth user experience that I would be able
to create but I am wondering how I could send someone a link to a
particular sub section (ie. currently I would sent
http://www.domain.com/about_us.html
and it would work nicely. In the 'one page website' the sub pages
only get fully formatted if loaded into the panel.
What I would like to do is to create a similar direct
reference capability. Have anyone done something similar. I was
thinking of perhaps having a parameter on the url:
http://www.domain.com/index.html?about_us.
This should then set the content of the panel on load.
If anyone has done something like this, I would greatly
appreciate it if they could share technical details. This seems to
be the last large barrier for me before going to this approach.
Thanks in advance.

there are someway to do this
1.you could use old JS trick to hide & show element based
on element id (in your case maybe hiding a big div that hold 1
page), example :
<a name="aboutus" id="aboutus"
onclick=showAbout()>About Us</a>
<div id="aboutDiv">

</div>
and for JS part (on <head>):
<script>
function showAbout()
document.getElementById("aboutDiv").style.display = "block";
//show about div, you could use "block" or "inline"
document.getElementById("homeDiv").style.display = "none";
//hide home div
.... //etc hide other element
</script>
ofcourse there could be many enhancement for this
2. second way was to call Spry LoadUrl() function and give
the callback, you don't need actually request anything using this,
you can use this to load
All the elements(DOM) on the page you request and set the
callback for it
refer to spry manual/example
3. third way was using spry tab panel widget, you can
re-style the CSS so it seem seamlessly integrate into your page :D
4. last but not least, using traditional iframe should help,
but notice this could be problematic if you use Session/Cookie for
your page

Is there a way to create mutiple page forms in Acrobat that store 1 record per page?

Basically, I'm creating a form, that I would like to make notes on each page individually. I am running into an issue however, since the name of the fields are the same throughout the whole document. Is there a way for Acrobat to treat each page as an individual record, so I can track this data throughout the whole thing? Is my only alternative to resort to Javascript to change these names in acrobat? On the front end, I'm designing the form in InDesign, and then exporting to acrobat.

In Acrobat, a page can be made a template, which is really nothing more than a page that has been given a name. With JavaScript, you can spawn a template page to create a new one, and any fields a template page has can be automatically renamed when spawned (following a particular convention) so that each page's fields are independent from those on other pages. Note that JavaScript is not able to change a field's name, but it can create and remove fields.

How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?

How do I make a table of contents for a collection of six short stories that is after the legal page and NOT in the front on an unnumbered page?
When I first started I made a title page and then pasted in my first story from a .TXT file. After cleaning up I went back to the front a couple of empty lines ahead of the story and typed in the story title. Unlarged the font size and centered it, then

You can't do that. This is what the Pages User Guide, downloadable from your Pages Help menu, says:
Creating and Updating a Table of Contents
Each table of contents (TOC) you create using a Word Processing template lists only the content that follows it, up until the next table of contents. If you want a master table of contents for the entire document, it must be the only table of contents, and it must be at the beginning of the document.
You can do it manually though.

Can I set up a master page to show custom alternating footer text dependant on page number?

Hi,
Is it possible to set up a master page to show different messages in the footer of a brochure dependant on page number? For example;
Page 1: Buy from us because...
Page 2: Our website address is...
Page 3: Here's a special offer...
Page 4: Our website address is...
Page 5: Buy from us because...
Page 6: Our website address is...
...and so on, repeating until the end of the brochure. The intention is for the footers to update automatically if the pagination of the brochure in question needs moving around - or if the messages need changing.
Thanks!

Thanks, but the text needs to be on a single master page which every page is assigned to. This is so the text alternates correctly regardless of whether new pages are inserted or moved. If I assigned separate master pages to individual pages and then moved the pages to a different location, the alternating footer text would then fall out of sync. I hope that made sense!

Everytime i open some websites, it displays the page for a while then load to another blank page.

hai. i need help. and just for heads up, i;m not computer/tech savvy.
i dont remember when this problem was started (maybe around 2 or 3 months ago) but everytime i opened some sites, the page displayed for a while then it reload itself and shown a blank page. the link is still the same with the link i tried to access, it just keep loading and shown blank page till it stop loading. refreshing the page wont help. usually i need to click 'Back' then while it shown the page i click 'X' to stop the page loading, so i can see the page.
but if i need to download files, stopping the page wont make me able to downloaded the files since the page didnt fully loaded.
the websites i encountered this was (so far) :
- Indowebster (download page)
- wiki.d-addicts.com (a wikipedia kind of page)
- photobucket (just encountered this today)
- and 1 or 2 other sites, i forgot.
but i can access all those sites just fine with IE. I also able to access it in Mozilla thru my work computer. at first this dint really bother me as i can just click 'stop loading page' or found another download sites for downloading. but as today i experienced it with photobucket 9which as far as i know didnt happened before) it made me worry that soon i would experiencing this with another sites too.
editted to add info :
i already clear cache and cookies. also disable all extensions in my add-ons. from some discussion page, many of them found that this was caused by Real-Player. i have uninstalled Real Player and have disabled the Real Player Plugins long before this problem occured. so i dont think Real Player was the caused.

hi.. actually before i was afraid to update anything other than anti-virus, since i read many people seems updating something and turns out they got malware/virus with it.
but i have update it to Firefox 21 (the newest version it seems) and didnt encounter any problem again. and hope not. it just the new version disable my orbitdownloader. any suggestion to bring it back? (or should i post new thread?)

Since Firefox v34, after zooming text on a page Google Search took me to, the Google search page is blank after clicking 'Back' to it. Is this a v34 glitch?

Since Firefox v34, the Google Search results page is blank after, 1) Clicking on a link in a Google Search results page and loading the linked page, 2) Zooming in on the text on the page Google took me to, and then without resetting text zoom, 3) Clicking the Firefox 'Back' arrow to return to the Google search results. If at that point I either reload the Google results page, or click back a page and then forward again, the full search results are then displayed again.
This happens on my Windows 7 PC as well as my Vista Notebook. Is this a glitch with text zooming and Google in Firefox version 34?

'''>>Type about:preferences#advanced<Enter> in the address bar.<'''
Setting that made no difference. I ran 30-40 test searches on Google with that set and Firefox restarted in Safe Mode with all add-ons disabled. The problem persists on the vast majority of searches. However backing up to Google search results after following some links doesn't result in the problem.
For instance when I do a Google search from www.google.com (USA) on [https://www.google.com/?gws_rd=ssl#q=%22Steve+Gibson%22+ "Steve Gibson"] and click the first result, which for me is his Wikipedia page: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Gibson_%28computer_programmer%29 "Steve Gibson (computer programmer) - Wikipedia"]. If I hit CTRL/+ a couple times to zoom text after the page loads, and then click Firefox's 'Back" icon, the previous Google search result page will be empty.
However if I click on the 2nd result in Google's search results, which for me is [https://www.grc.com/stevegibson.htm "GRC | Steve Gibson's WebZone:"], I can zoom the text several times and then click back to the Google search results and find them all displayed fine.
But I've been having this problem when backing up to Google search results probably 70-90% of the time since I updated from Firefox v33 to v34.
It's frustrating because Firefox seems to remember the text zoom level for entire domains. So if I zoom on one Wikipedia page, Firefox will display all Wikipedia pages I visit subsequently at that zoom level. I used to love this feature. But it's become a real pain now when I back up to Google.
BTW: If in the 1st example above, I first reset the text zoom level while I'm still on the Steve Gibson Wiki page, all the Google search results are displayed fine after I click Firefox's 'Back" icon. I don't have this problem in Chrome or Opera.
