Pages and iTunes don't mix

All of my Macs (2) are freezing when I have Pages 2 and iTunes open. I can run all day long w/o iTunes and Pages behaves, but when it is on, Pages is off. Anyone else having these issues?

Hello ballesco,
128 mb is not enough to have running the system, Pages, iTunes and perhaps Dashboard apps at the same time. By the way, Dashboard can be a real RAM and performance eater, especially if you are using a lot of the apps.
I have disabled the entire Dashboard app for better work performance. If you want do disable Dashboard, too, follow this link: http://www.macworld.com/weblogs/macosxhints/2005/08/disabledashboard/index.php. After that you can enable Dashboard whenever you want.
But you should install more RAM if you want to work with large documents or with several apps at the same time. 512 mb is a must have. How much you need depends on what you want to do with your Mac. The more graphic intense and the greater file sizes, the more RAM you will need.

  • Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes... getting beyond P/Oed!!!

    Computer AND iTunes don't recognize my iPod touch.  Comp thinks it is a camera or something.  iTunes won't bring up devices at all.  I've already uninstalled iTunes and QT and reinstalled after problem that happened when I updated iTunes - updated iTunes completely demolished my computer's ability to recognize the sound card and computer had NO sound at all.  I had to uninstall iTunes, QT, AND my sound card and reinstall them all.  Sound worked fine, but now I can't sync my iPod.  Computer recognizes that "something" is hooked up (thinks it might possibly be a camera) and I get that "open with" window.  In "my computer" it shows that there is an "iPod" connected, but it is pictured as a camera.  In iTunes my username is no longer appearing (although account info is there) and NO devices whatsoever get listed.  There is nothing wrong with my USB ports or cable.  And of course Apple won't help anyone unless you pay them to. ... I am getting beyond P/Oed!!!  You pay hundreds for a product and all you get are headaches with their stupid bug infested software and no support at all.
    Can anyone out there help me clean up this unbelievable mess Apple and iTunes has created in my computer?
    Thank you.

    After three completely wasted days trying to figure all of this out I finally got it fixed - on my own - by reading dozens and dozens of rogue posts in indie forums from people that refuse to dish out money to have a company TRY and advise possible fixes on their own glitches.
    (here's a novel idea - fix the glitches Apple.  Or - don't send out updates filled with bugs in the first place)
    Everything (several applications) had to be uninstalled in a very specific order and then restarted , then it all had to be verified with manual deletions of leftovers, and emptying the recycle bin, then another restart, then iT had to be reinstalled again and the system restarted again, and two more update downloads. Holy!!!
    I love my little iPod touch, but I honestly must say, when this kind of thing happens (and it has several times now when I try to deal with iTunes or Apple), it makes me want to flush it down the toilet.

  • The opened web pages are not correct even though the address in the link roperty is correct. The web page opens a blank page and says "Done"

    When I search for a web sites, it gives a list of connected web site.
    If I click a particular web site, it immediately opens a blank page and says"done" at the bottom of the page. The opened web address is wrong even though the link property shows the correct address.
    What is wrong?

  • Both of my computer and Itunes don't want to detect my Ipod-Touch-3G-32GB

    Something really annoying happened to me. I was updating my Ipod Touch 3G-32GB when I accidently pull off the USB link. Now both of my computer and Itunes don't want to detect my Ipod. What am I suppose to do ? [sorry for the mistakes, I'm French]
    PS: I can't recover my Ipod because the lock button is broken

    Try using this program to place the iPod in recovery mode:

  • I wrote 6 pages in a document. I wanted to put page 4 before page 3 and could not move them.  They had a box around 5 pages and I don't know how I did that, nor do I know how to undo that.

    And you guessed wrongly.
    On my side, I guess that before opening the menu,  you clicked somewhere out of the pages (in the thumbnails areas for instance).
    Re try after cliking at the bottom of a page.
    The feature is really described in Pages User Guide.

  • Iphone 5 and itunes don't syncronize

    When I try to sync phone 5 (ios 7.0.2) and itunes 11.1 the message that the computer is not authorised appears. I'm advised to authorize my computer (Windows 7) and I do it, the message that the computer is already authorized appears, but the syncronization fails again because of the same problem

    Yes, you will need to upgrade to Snow Leopard so you can get iTunes 10.7. Confirm that your system meets the minimum requirements:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    If it does, Snow Leopard is back on the online Apple Store, at least in some countries. In the US:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    If it's not listed on the web site of the Apple Store in your country, call the online Apple Store; they may still have copies of Snow Leopard available. Once you upgrade, run Software Update to get your system to 10.6.8 and you will then be able to update to iTunes 10.7.
    Regards.

  • Aperture and iTunes "don't answer"

    Hello,
    I'm using Aperture 3.2.4 and iTunes 11.0.2 on OS 10.6.8.
    For a few days iTunes and Aperture run very slowly, and sometimes make my Mac mini 3.1 crash.
    I have been looking to the activity monitor, but didn't see any problem there.
    Do you have an idea ?
    Thanks a lot...
    Ben.

    Thanks for your answer, I launched hard drive control, and everything is fine, but when launching hard drive authorisations control, mac mini crashed.

  • Windows AND iTunes don't recognize Nano at all...

    I just got an 8GB Nano a few days ago, and when I connect it, nothing recognizes there's anything there. Device manager, My Computer, and iTunes all act like there's nothing connected to the computer. I would think it's my computer, but my iPod Mini 6GB syncs perfectly fine with no problem.
    It's not a question of it just not syncing, the whole system acts like there's nothing there.
    iPod updated 2006-6-28 just tells me that my Mini is no longer supported, and won't let me even try to do anything with a nano.
    I have the XP service pack 2, and photoshop as well. I'm running iTunes 7 on my computer, and everything IS hooked up corrected, because my Mini works fine with this.
    So... Is there some solution I just haven't tried, or is it time to take advantage of the warrenty?

    ...Still got problems...
    Although, when I start up my computer, the charging symbol shows up, and then dissappears. Poof.
    My mini still works fine with the exact same connection and everything... Soooo... This really kinda *****.
    I updated to iTunes 7.0.1 or whatever, and I've been searching all kinds of forums... Everyone seems to be okay with the computer recognizing the iPod... But my computer isn't even recognizing there's something there...
    Would a hi speed 2.0 USB connection from Stratitec work? Because that's what I'm using on the mini and attempting to use on the nano. Plleeeeeaaaassseee help me ^_^;;
    (I need to figure out if I should use the warranty.)

  • IPod and iTunes don't work, HELP!!!

    I bought a few albums a week or so ago and didn't bother to burn a copy. Next, I got a few new CDs for Christmas, so I decided to upload them to iTunes. I had started when I had to log off of my account for a while. So, I logged off for about an hour, and I tried to get back on iTunes to finish uploading the CDs, but it wouldn't open, and I couldn't digure out how to get it to open. Then I went on vacation for about a week, and on about the third or fourth day my iPod (Classic, 30 GB, made in 2006) started spazzing out. It would play but the screen stayed the same, or it would "pause" without actually pausing. So I did the thing the support tells you to do , toggle the hold button, then press the middle and menu button simultaneously. I did that twice, cause the first time it didn't work. The second time I did this, it seemed to work, but then the screen just went black. I hit the menu button to see if that would help, but instead of making my iPod good as new, the screen went white and said "Connect to your computer. Use iTunes to restore." So, I obviously couldn't, because my computer was at home, and I wasn't. I waited till I got home (yesterday night) and restored my computer to a time I knew iTunes was working, and went to sleep cause it was taking a long time.
    This morning, I got up and tried to open iTunes, but a window popped up that said Quicktime was not installed and iTunes needs Quicktime to run. so, I reinstalled Quicktime and when I tried to open iTunes, another window popped up that said that the Quicktime I had was 5.5(I think) and it needed 5.7 or later. So I uninstalled Quicktime and reinstalled it with Apple. I tried again to open iTunes, but yet another window popped up that said something like "Your library cannot be opened because it was installed on a more recent version of iTunes. So here I am now, after being on the computer all day, after repeatedly uninstalling and reinstalling Quicktime and updating iTunes several times, completely confused. Is there any way to get my library back and restore my iPod? Any and all hints are desperately wanted. Please help!

  • Slow at initial loading of some Pages - and iTunes Store is slow as well...

    Hi all,
    Since some days, I noticed that Safari loads some of the pages very slowly, such as Ebay, Appleinsider, and also Apple.com. Once you are on a page, the navigation inside is mostly quite normal - also the download speed is within it's usual range. But inital loading of a lot of sites takes almost a minute's time. Also iTunes Store loads very very slowly. I freshly installed 10.4.8 recently to (successfully) fix another problem I had with my AirportExpress, so I frankly would not know what setting might be affected here. Did anyone experience the same issues? Thanks a lot.

    Hi Dave,
    Network type problems have been reported with 10.4.8. The usual remedy has been either to "repair permissions" using Disk Utility in your Utility folder, or to reapply the 10.4.8 combined update, applying permissions after the install/restart.
    One other remedy for Network type problems that has seemed to help others:
    Go to your System Preferences>Network panel: make sure in the Show drop down menu in Network Configuration, your primary cable protocol, in your case "airport" is first on the list (you can drag it there). Other protocols you don't use ought to be unchecked. Then in the Show menu, select "airport". In the airport panel remove any wi-fi locations you don't use (if you travel and use wi-fi, there's a tendency to accumulate these things). Lastly, in the TCP panel>DNS servers, enter 4.2.2.2, which is a Verizon number available to the public. Select "apply".
    One last thing, make sure your Airport version is up-to-date - 6.3. You can check this via Software Update in System Preferences.

  • After a backup all music files are invisible and iTunes don't see anything

    Hi,
    I got a very strange problem and I'm really lost.
    I made a backup of my portable iTunes libray (using a 160 GB Maxtor one touch 4 mini usb) on another backup disk (750 GB Maxtor onetouch III firwire 800). I have my library on a external disk to safe disk space on my MacBook Pro disk. For the back up I use the software Personal Backu4 of Intego Software. The 160GB iTunes disk is Formatted als Mac OS Extended format.
    Now all back up data that aren't music files (AAC or MP3 files) was correctly back up, but all music files was like deleted, all artist > album folders looks empty. But, cheking with the disk utility it looks that all files exist and the Used space (36.06 GB) looks correctly and the numbers of files too (some 5942 files). But all files are invisible, folders looks empty. Now is looks that all purchased and CD imported int my library didn't exist anymore: and this in BOTH disks, side by side is the same situation.
    How I can come out from this situation, I really don't have any idea how to coming out fron this sad situation.
    Hany help is really appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    OK, here's what REALLY doesn't make sense.
    After manually fixing a lost file, NOTHING in the XML changes. Not one single character changes in the XML file. I diff'd the whole file before and after - no difference. So, basically, it goes out and 'finds' it and updates something that we can't see to repair the connection, meanwhile we are left to think that this XML file has the library data in it.
    Mind you, the media file(s) are present and accounted for in the file system - correct name and path and everything - before and after I go Locate the file when iTunes complains about it being missing..
    iTunes is so overbloated, we can't even fix stuff when we see precisely how it is broken.
