Pages 5 is the Worst

I just "upgraded" to Pages 5 and am about to remove it. It has a plethora of issues, but namely:
It will not allow you insert your fiilename
You cannot customize your toolbar
It will not allow you to select multiple bits of text throughout the document by holding down the control key and double clicking
The list goes on... Unless you only use the very basics when creating documents, I do not recommend you download this app.

Thanks for the reply, Peter.
Nothing distinctive to my knowledge; has section breaks, a TOC, media placeholders, endnotes and paragraph styles if those things matter...
Was able to export and open as a Word.docx but obviously this throws off all the formatting of my tables, fonts, etc...

    forgot my apple ID , and need a hint on my associated email so i can sent a reset password , and the worst thing in apple ID forgot password page that if you typed any apple id even if its wrong it gives you that email has been sent !! how come !!
    so please if anyone got any idea of how to get the hint on the mail ( i used to remember there is a hint )

    If all you did was rename your ID, you can go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, choose Delete from My iPhone when prompted, then sign back in with your renamed ID.  Deleting the account only deletes the account and any data you are syncing with iCloud from your phone, not from iCloud.  Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts, your data will be synced back to your phone when you sign back in.
    If, however, you are changing to a new account with a new ID, choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.  Then choose Merge when you sign into the new account and turn your iCloud syncing back on to upload your data to the new account.
    Before deleting the account, save you photo stream photos to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll).

    there was a recent software update that seemed to screw HDV up.  Do some searching here over the last month or 2 and you'll find a bunch of posts and some possible solutions.
    Worst case scenario, do as Shane suggests.  But might I suggest you take a look at the user tips section of the forum.  there are some great tips on how to prevent these sorts of problems by cloning your startup drive, etc.

  • Do macs use the worst dvd drives???

    this is just a question because i have noticed that a lot of DVDs that i burn on my mac play in my home DVD player, through my lacie external DVD drive and/or my friends PC work perfectly but they wont play in my iMac G5 or my MacBook Pro DVD player.
    PS. the DVDs that i use are verbatim 99% of the time. and a lot of the problems are with dual layer DVDs.
    PSS. please dont confuse my question with "macs DO use the worst DVD drives" as a statement. i do not mean it that way at all. thank you.

  • Itunes is one of the worst pieces of software I've ever used

    Using the latest version of iTunes is one of the worst experiences I've ever had with Apple
    Love the products they make
    but the way the company decided to think it knows best rather than actually making a piece of software that is functional
    It is a sad state of affairs when iTunes from 5 years ago actually functions better and more efficiently with an iphone than the current version
    Syncing Apps, changing pages and folders is unbelievably clunky and poor
    I would be ashamed to put my companies name to something so bad

    If you call something "intuitive" it's mainly because your brain has grown used to work with an interface in a certain way. You brain automatically knows where to find what. So when they suddenly change certain parts of that interface, your brain gets confused. It takes more clicking around to find what you need. You call it counter-intuitive. It's annoying.....the first weeks at least. I work with iTunes 12 for quite some time now. If I try to use iTunes 11 I get a little confused. It takes more clicking around to find what I want. Is iTunes 11 become less intuitive. No. My brain developed a new routine.
    So "Hopelessly counter-intuitive" says more about your state of mind, than about the quality of the program. Useless documentation, tutorials or Apple-assistence have nothing to do with the quality of the program (as far as I can see there's a good "help-feature" for beginners). There's nothing wrong with the search engine and I can drag and drop files managing my playlists and devices, as I always have in iTunes (even a little better, because they moved some icons from the sidebar to the top white bar, so playlists and devices show up right next to my library).
    What might be inexcusable nonsens it that you have limited knowledge on the possibilities of iTunes or how to operate the program, but have strong opinions about it nonetheless.
    iTunes 12.0.1 shows to much bugs. Some people can't even open the program in OS X Yosemite. This community has found some workarounds for now, but this release is not one of "Apple's finest moments". So if you want to criticize iTunes, be my guest, but do it for the right reasons. This way you're helping no one, and this is support to be a support community.

  • Has anyone else bought the Kin TwoM and found it the worst thing ever??

    I got the Kin TwoM and found it the worst cell phone I have had EVER.It never keeps its battery life but for a day and the screen is way too touchy and I can not send people photos or post them online I have yet to get the wi fi to work anymore it just stopped.I hate this cell and if I had the money I would buy different one right now but instead I am stuck with it.

    Maybe I should clearify this a bit the issue wasn't the device but more along the devices popularity with the customers, this information is basically posted on a number of forums but I dont see Verizon addressing this as a issue because the device works well for some but it simply wasn't for everyone..  If you search the forum you could find a number of reported reviews...
    Check this one... https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/355420/page/5

  • Installing iWeb 2.0.2 is the worst nightmare ever

    When I first instal iWeb 2.0.1, all was wrong but one day started working, this was until the patch of iWeb 2.0.2 when again everything was wrong again, I do like a lot iWeb and I have a lot on my .mac account I even have 20GB of hard disk in my subscription, but this is the tip of the iceberg for me, probably the lasts weeks I have the .mac account, I have been waiting for a fix like most of iWeb users that are on this forum, and what I see is mac really not listening to the clients of iWeb, this is probably the worst Update mac has ever had, we users of mac knew that mac always test the software on the users, but when the users have a business based on their web pages like me and probably a lot of other users, then Apple is affecting third party and not the regular users.
    I really don't know what to think right now of this update, but is definitely not working for a lot of users that we are desperate that Apple hear us.
    I know probably Apple is having the finishing touches of Jaguar (nice) but we the ones that are affected with iWeb 2.0.2 are having way bigger problems and there is no one in Apple who really is looking at the problem.
    My sites are this ones:
    www.cinematograf.com
    www.soloenmexico.net
    I wish I can continue working with Apple but if this problem persists I will be forced to leave .mac and never come back because of this bad taste on this issue, I will probably use Dreamweaver and rent a hosting plan with better things than .mac.
    As you all can see I am really mad and ****** about this issue and I am shure I am not the only one.
    Do you think like me?
    Adolfo

    Jon,
    When 08 came out, I Correct al my pages, I re did all of them, so that is not the problem, I even had to almost kill my whole site in order to it work perfect, that was when I had 2.0.1 then Apple send us the update for 2.0.2 and it was then when It stopped working at all.
    With 2.0.1 there was problems and we all fix them as .mac told us, but with this update 2.0.2 there is nothing to fix there is probably not solution, so a lot of us are desperate, and we just wish to go back to the settings on 2.0.1 they worked fine (at least the last 2 weeks of version 2.01).
    Then as you see my site: www.cinematograf.com is huge and www.soloenmexico.net (lives from the comments) (the last one has already 90 publications that makes it a 3 month old site (yes I made it with '08, in full) I can't think of loosing all the comments as that gives the site self promotion, the problem is that I had been already since "9/13/07" that I can't publish a thing it did work for a day on "9/24/07" as you can see on the site, but that was the last day it worked since then we can't publish a thing, the problem of that particularly site is that it was growing a hype and one day off we loose public opinions and one week off we loose fans, so is not really cool of mac to keep us off like this
    Thanks for reading

  • Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why???

    Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad?? I've tried using iCab, downloading google docs, etc. I understand it's not possible from iPad but why??? If I can't use safari to do it is there any other way?? Seriously, are iPads only used for watching Hulu, playing games, fb and twitter? My phone can do that!! Worst $500 I ever spent.

    We don't want to email it.....  we want to upload it.
    Then why did you say (emphasis added):
    Why can't I post my resume from Pages to the web or an email on my iPad??
    There are plenty of methods for putting a resume online, where a potential employer can download it, though admittedly the iPad is less flexible in this regard than a computer.  Nobody ever has claimed otherwise.  However, I get the feeling you're not actually looking for an answer to anything, and you're just posting to complain.  Note that that is a violation of the Apple Support Communities Terms of Use, which you agreed to when signing up for an account here.
    I wish I had gotten a Galaxy Tab.
    Then sell your iPad and go buy one.  You will have no problems whatsoever finding a buyer.

  • IBooks 3 is the WORST!

    I carry several PDFs on my iPad and iPhone for work.
    Everytime Apple releases a new iBooks update it changes the total count of the iBooks library on either the iPhone or iPad by increasing it by 1.
    Then, when you try to drag your library books to iBooks, the numbers start having significant differences between the master library in iTunes and the library on the iPad/iPhone.
    So, then I have to delete the entire iPad/iPhone library and copy from the master library again.
    Once that has been done, I have to watch the spinning circle in the top right hand corner of iBooks until it indexes everything. This process takes up to 2-hours on an iPad 2, 1-hour on an iPhone 4s.
    Then what, oh yes, wait for the next iBooks update.
    Apple, I have tried very hard to like iBooks, but GoodReader just gets it. You can copy anything you want and access it in microseconds.
    Because of this I now buy my ebooks from Amazon.
    Apple engineers are the laziest people on earth. They probably just sit there testing iBooks with like 3 files thinking that they are true geniuses.
    Has anyone else suffered the iBooks upgrade library discrepency?
    Please do not suggest Auto Sync. I just love how Apple says, "If you dare turn off this feature, we are going to delete everything from your iPad".

    Running Yosemite 10.10.2 on a vintage Macbook Pro
    When will the apple team finally fix ibooks?  It is the worst its ever been and desperately needs an overhaul! It was bad enough when ibooks was linked to itunes, but at least it worked, and you could store your entire library on an external drive.
    Upgraded to Yosemite only to find that all my books in itunes disappeared (would have appreciated a warning on that, apple) and that I had to restart everything from scratch.  Plus ibooks keeps crashing constantly!
    When is the next release? When will apple give ibooks the attention it deserves?
    Only Apple know the answer to that. Sorry, but no one here can help you as to a date. You can try asking Apple at the Contact Us link at the bottom of this page, but as they have never given any exact date away in their history of releases, then I would say just be patient. I never use iBooks, so I can't help you with the rest.

  • Why CF10 is the worst version ever to install

    Hi All
    I'd thought id share some of the pain ive been having with installing CF10. We have a pretty big install environment and during our CF10 migration project we have had to install
    - a dev VM on CentOS
    - 3 UAT boxes on Solaris 10 (Sparc)
    - 4 staging/Prod boxes on Solaris 10 (Sparc)
    all up that's 8 installs of CF10 and almost 20 instances of CF across all the applications. I have to say I'm really disappointed. This is the first big update ive done on Unix, in the past ColdFusion v4-v9 I have worked on Windows servers.
    Some of my main greifs have included this time around:
    - You must apply the mandatory update after you install
    http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-10-mandatory-update.html
    - you then must update to the latest patch - update 11. Except on Solaris I have found it wont do work via CFIDE. You have to use the command line. (CFIDE is broken)
    - CFIDE is horribly broken, we cannot use the 'settings' page at all. Everything must be edited via neo-*.xml files
    http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion-administrator-fails-permission-denied.html
    https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3536062
    - wsconfig doesn't deal with multiple sites and multiple instances very well and you have to do everything manually. Including extracting the connector from WSConfig.jar
    http://rob.brooks-bilson.com/index.cfm/2012/2/23/Configuring-Multiple-Instances-of-ColdFus ion-10-with-Apache-Virtual-Hosts
    http://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/kb/coldfusion10-apache-manual-connector-configuration.ht ml
    - Solr/jetty Init Script is broken
    http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1009951
    - the installer on Unix doesn't install it so that the service auto-starts, you have to do that yourself.
    - the Init script doesnt deal with multiple instances or give you a PID so you know how to kill it if it wont stop gracefully, which is happening alot!, we ended up writing our own init.d script.
    IMO the next version of CF needs more work on the installer annd CFIDE side of things. It is way too hard to install.

    I hear your pain, Pat, but since I help people solve problems like this daily (and they are not always what they seem), I want to share a few thoughts in reply. I realize it may only smack of me being a CF apologist. It comes from sincere motivations and experience in trying simply to help people.
    The mandatory update is required because the Adobe-wide server certificate was compromised weeks after CF9 came out. They (the CF team) did not rebuild the installer but offered this “mandatory update” instead. Sure, they could have done a new installer, and some may assert they should have, but that’s a big effort considering how many platforms they support (both OS’s, web servers, databases, their versions, and combinations thereof.)
    Same with the need to apply updates upon installation. This is nothing new at all for CF10, but was the same for previous releases, for the same reasons as above.
    As for “the CFIDE” being “horribly broken”, I assume you mean the CF Administrator (one of several things provided within the CFIDE folder). As for any page not working, my first suspicious in a case like that is that perhaps the problem is not “in CF” but rather with your configuration. This is just a guess, but an educated one: could it be that you have CF10 trying to run against a CF9 or earlier version of the CFIDE folder? I see it quite often, and not intentional or expected by folks, of course. First, did you happen to have CF 9 or earlier installed on the machine? Or even if not, did you perhaps bring onto this “new machine” a web site docroot that included a CFIDE folder? Or what about your Apache conf file (since you are on Linux). Might it still have alias’s defined pointing to a CFIDE from before?
    In CF10, the CFIDE is always stored in the (cf10)\cfusion\wwwroot, or (cf10)(instancename)\wwwroot, if you create a new instance.  The thing is, if somehow you either already have a CFIDE in the docroot for one or more of your web sites, or if there is an alias (or virtual directory, for those readers using IIS) that points to another one besides that stored in the CF10 wwwroot, that could cause the problems you are seeing.
    As for the wsconfig, you refer to multiple sites and instances. It should handle multiple sites no problem, and no differently than previous releases. As for multiple instances, there is a difference in CF10. Whereas the previous wsconfig would let you install any site into any of your available instances, the CF10 one for some reason does require that you launch it from within the instance you want to configure a connection to. It does not find and list all instances, if run for the main cfusion instance’s folder. That is indeed confusing to many. (So don’t get me wrong: I’m by no means suggesting that CF10 is perfect. Just that things are often not quite as they seem to some.)
    The concern reported about the Jetty/Solr service sounds legit, per that forum entry, but I do note it’s from 2012. Are you sure it’s not something that’s been resolved by an update? You don’t mention if you did apply them, but I’ll assume you did. Did you notice if there were any changes in your problems with the Jetty service after that? And perhaps also the autostart issue?
    As for your finding that CF often “won’t stop gracefully”, what do the coldfusion-out.log or (in linux, cfserver.log) tell you in the entries around the time of your attempting to stop CF? There could be (and usually are) clues.
    Finally, if you may mean that CF (or the Apache connector) seems to be “crashing a lot”, did you catch the indication in the readme for the update (both update 11, and earlier ones) that states that after applying the update, you may (and generally must) rebuild or at least update the web server connector? Sometimes the updates include a fix to the connector (mod_jk.so for Apache, isapi_redirect.dll for IIS)? If that file (in each folder under (cf10)\config\wsconfig) is still dated March 2012, then you have not updated it and can expect serious problems under even moderate load.
    Hope all that’s helpful. Again, not trying to entirely negate your assertion of CF10 having issues. I just think the “worst ever” seems a bit over the top. I understand how you may feel that, but I hope I’ve offered some hope that there may be explanations for things, and that they may help you get off on a better foot if you go forward.
    All that said, there is certainly room for improvement in any subsequent release, with respect to the installer, the web server config tool, and other things that you’ve touched on. Let’s hope that Adobe will consider them.

  • The latest Skype and Windows 8.1 are the worst Conditions in laptops in the past 25 years

    I have been a computer / laptop user for the past 25 years. No, I am not an expert or geek. This new Windows 8.1 and associated connections to the internet and Skype are the worst conditions that I have ever encountered. I have just purchased this laptop with these operating systems. I have spent the past 3 days and evenings trying to get onto my Skype accounts and still no success in being able to get to the open operating Skype page. All I get are requests for downloading new Skype apps. I have download every one of these apps and renewed the Skype program numerous times. I still cannot open my Skype account and see my contacts or awaiting messages or missed calls. YOUR NEWEST SYSTEMS SUCK!!!! Tony Wheeler

    I have the same problem..using a laptop with Windows 8.1 I am thoroughly fed up with this Skype business...I cannot access my Skype page with my contacts...How do I do this

  • Header not getting  displayed in the next page in the second table

    Dear Experts ,
    I have a query regarding Header not getting  displayed in the next page in the second table of the main window. .Let me elobrate the issue.
    I have a smartform in which there are  2 tables TABLE 1 and TABLE 2 in the smartform MAIN window. TABLE 1 is for pending PO and TABLE 2 is  for future delivery date P O separated by text in between.
    Now the header for both the tables and the data are getting displayed properly if the total output is in only one page. But If there are more entries in the TABLE 1 the Header for the TABLE 2 is not getting displayed. Header for TABLE 1 yet gets displayed properly in the next page in case of more entries.
    Only issue is that Header for TABLE 2 is not getting displayed in second page but it gets displayed if the entries are less in TABLE 1 and the total output is in one page .
    Please provide a elobrate solution on this problem as the requirement is urgent.
    Thanks,

  • When I login to my bank, I get the message: 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied. Have new MacBook Air with Yosemite. How to solve this problem?

    When I try to login to the website of my bank, I get the following error message:
    403 - Forbidden: Access is denied.
    You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.
    I have a new MacBook Air with OS Yosemite installed.
    What is the problem and how can I solve it?

    Some websites require a special client certficate for access. If you don't have that certficate, you'll have to contact the site operator to find out how to get one.
    Sometimes the problem is caused by a web server that is configured to request an optional client certificate. Safari treats the request as mandatory. In that case, other browsers such as Firefox and Chrome may be able to connect to the site, because they ignore the request.
    The first time you were prompted for a certificate, you may have clicked through a dialog that requested access to the Apple certificate in your keychain that is used to secure the iMessage service. In that case, you may be able to regain access to the site in Safari by doing as follows.
    Back up all data.
    Double-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
    com.apple.idms.appleid.prd
    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    Launch the Keychain Access 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 Keychain Access in the icon grid.
    Paste into the search field in the Keychain Access window by clicking in it and pressing the key combination command-V. An item may appear in the list of keychain items. The Name will begin with string you searched for, and the Kind will be "certificate."
    Delete the item by selecting it and pressing the delete key. It will be recreated automatically the next time you launch the Messages or FaceTime application.
    The next time you visit a site that prompts for an optional client certificate, cancel out of the prompt. You may have to do this several times before the server stops asking.
    Credit for this idea to Christian Braukmueller of SAP.

  • WHEN I LOGIN AS DIFFERENT USER, IT TAKES ME TO THE SAME PAGE WHERE THE PREV

    Hu Gurus,
    I log in to portal as user1 and go to a page and then log out of the portal. Then I try to login as user2, it takes me to the same page where the previous user was. It looks like it caches the page information. How can I avoid this. Please post a reply if you have some suggestions.
    Thanks
    Raj
    ----------

    Thanks for checking it, Jason. Yes, the cache settings are for 'Every visit to page'. That was the first thing I thought of. I have a feeling the problem has to do with a cache setting somewhere in our installation. For example, I'm still plagued with a few user accounts returning errors when I try to log in. The users aren't logged in, but when I click "Login" from the Portal Builder page, I see the same error...it's not even letting me get to a login screen. Thanks for all the help. It's great to get some feedback. In the meantime, we'll continue to track it down here.

  • I downloaded Maverick and now I can't open pages from the Dock.  The Pages icon just jumps up and down abut doesn't open.  However, I can one pages by clicking on the App. I have an iMac with iWork 08.

    Since upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion I am unable to open Pages from the Dock.  When I click on the pages icon in the dock the icon just keeps bouncing up and down.  However, I can open pages by clicking on the icon in the Apps folder.  No problems prior to upgrading to Maverick.

    Quit Pages. Drag its icon out of the Dock. Create a new one by dragging the application into the Dock. Test.
