Pages and Word files asked to be saved to desktop are not placed there.  must "open recent" to retrieve.

OSX 10.6.8   new problem. 2 restarts no help. can find files by "open recent" on pages

What do you mean by "dump them"? Have you dragged the files in Finder to the Trash? Then emptied Trash?
It is possible you are seeing versions of files you have edited.
Please be specific as to exactly what it is you have done.

  • Pages and numbers under the free app section when they are not free?

    Why in gods name are you doing this apple, I am an avid buyer of your software and hardware, but just putting those under the free charts tell me you are manipulating your stats, for all, keep it there and make it free, or at least make it free for the people who have bought it for their apple computers. Pick one and Do it right.

    Ummm... these are user to user forums.  You are not addressing Apple by posting here so I'm not even sure what you hope to gain by complaining to us. So follow your own advice and "do it right."

  • Reader icons for PDF saved on Desktop are not displayed

    Hello,
    I have Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit installed on my computer. Whereas Adobe Reader typical icons are correctly displayed in every PDF documents saved on my hard disk, they are not displayed on those saved on Desktop. A blank icon is displayed instead. I have tried to repair Adobe Reader from Control Panel and to uninstall it and remove its leftovers on the registry by using an uninstaller program but the problem still persists. If I create a New Folder on the Desktop and cut and paste the PDF documents saved on Desktop on such folder, they are displayed but if I then move them back to the Desktop the blank icons are again displayed. Any idea what can be the cause and how to fix the problem?
    Many thanks,
    Ennio

  • PDFs and Word Files open on iMac but not Macbook Pro

    I own an iMac and a MacBook Pro. Recently, I've been having an issue with some PDFs and Word files that have been emailed to me from different contacts. All open—and can be seen using Quick Look—on the iMac. However, on the MacBook Pro it's a different story. When I try Quick Look all I see are the icons. When I try to open the PDFs in Preview (default app for me) I get an error message saying the file could not be opened and might be damaged. When I try to open the Word doc in Word, Pages or Bean I see all of the extraneous header information etc and the text is all mixed up in that formatting junk. I have repaired permissions, cleared out my user cache, restarted—pretty much everything I can think of. But no luck. Thought?

    Brilliant suggestion! I checked all the display settings on my iMac 27" and confirmed they were the same settings as my MacBook -- until I checked the Window 7 screen resolution. Because of its size, I had expanded the screen across most of the monitor. When I changed the resolution to one suggested or configured by Windows, Approach worked fine. I've now tested it on quite a few of the settings, and as long as I let Windows determine the best resolution (on my iMac 27" it seems to be 2043 x 1276), Approach works like it should. Thank you!

  • I need to transfer up to 200 pages and keynote files from my macbook to my PC. Is there any way I can convert all of the files to word-friendly documents as a batch change or will I have to open each individual file and re-save it as word-friendly?

  • If I buy Pages, will I be able I upload pdf and word files to websites?

    If I buy Pages, will I be able I upload pdf and word files to websites?

    Pages can export to PDF and .doc formats and send those via email, but it has no "upload" function.  That is something you normally do with a browser or an ftp app.

  • My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

    My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

    Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

  • Working with EXCEL and WORD files on a Mac Pro

    Hello,
    I have a lot of EXCEL and WORD files and the compatibility with NUMBERS and PAGES is not really satisfying. Is there a EXCEL and WORD app which runs without surprises on a Mac Pro?

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    Microsoft sells its own Microsoft Office version for OS X > http://www.microsoft.com/mac Microsoft Office for Mac will be the application that will give you less headaches when using Office documents, so I recommend it.
    Another application you should consider is LibreOffice, which is free > http://www.libreoffice.org

    Hi Alan.......
    i guess what you need to do is Go to Administration> System Initialization> Print Preferences
    Select the Document say Invoice on Per Tab and tick on Export to MS-Word.
    Once you add the AR Invoice it will be exported to MS Word automatically.......
    Hope this will solve your problem.....

  • I have completed a software update as prompted. However, all "Pages" and "Numbers" files are completely blank. Please advise

    I have completed a software update as prompted. However, all "Pages" and "Numbers" files are completely blank. Please advise

    Hi... Sorry for delay. I've been away working.
    I have just completed another software update as prompted again, and I'm still having problems.
    Nearly all my software won't open. It doesn't matter if it's relatively old software I brought over from my last Mac or new software I've purchased from the App store within the last year or two. It always says whatever software I'm trying to open has "quit unexpectedly"
    My Mail, App store, Stickies and Safari seem to work, but most other things won't.
    I've run a verify disk permissions and a repair disk permissions, but this message appears... Maybe it is a clue to the problem if you understand these things:
    Warning: SUID file “System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent” has been modified and will not be repaired.
    Please advise...
    Best wishes

  • Deleting PAGE and ROLL files

    Hello,
    We are migrating to ECC6 Ehp4 / WAS701.
    In our current systems, during offline backups, we delete the PAGE and ROLL files:
    `/bin/rm /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<nr>/data/PAGFIL<nr>`;
    `/bin/rm /bin/rm /usr/sap/<SID>/DVEBMGS<nr>/data/ROLLFL<nr>`;
    1. Is still worth doing this in WAS700 EhP1?
    2. What is the benefit of doing so?
    Thanks in advance for your answers.

    Hi Benoît,
    I was thinking that my colleagues were doing that to clean a possible corruption or something like that.
    Would you know if it was the case with old version of Netweaver
    I didn't face with that problem from release 3.0F on. It might be very specific case.
    If it is just to gain space temporary, it is not really useful.
    Yes, you are exactly, correct,
    Best regards,

  • Is there a free version of Adobe to allow me to convert Excel and word files to PDF's

    is there a free version of Adobe to allow me to convert Excel and word files to PDF's

    Nothing free no.
    At best there is a subscription you can purchase for a relatively low monthly price ($7.50 per month) that can be accessed through Adobe Reader (which is free).
