Pages Crash: Possible Document Recovery?

Hey, as I was inserting a table into an extensive lab report I was typing Pages crashed.
I selected relauch from the crash window and was not greeted by a recovered version of my document. The last time I saved was a about and hour ago, and I would really prefer not to have to retype this all out again.
I went into console and pulled this out:
3/13/08 3:13:35 AM com.apple.launchd[73] ([0x0-0x28028].com.apple.iWork.Pages[391]) Exited abnormally: Segmentation fault
Does pages offer ANY kind of recovery? Does it dump the document on crash into some sort of crash report? Anything at all?
Thanks,
Ron

Welcome to the club.
This question was often asked and responded.
The response is NO .
As with all computer, the b.a.ba is to save regularly when we are working on a long document.
As I know that many users are reluctant to do that, I wrote an Autosave script which is available for FREE on my idisk.

Word 2007 Document Recovery Pane Corrupt

We are using Word 2007 on a Windows 2003 terminal server.
When each one of our users opens word, the document recovery task pane opens with the same five documents. If you try to use the documents or delete them, it gives an error
Error Deleting File or Folder
Cannot delete file: Cannot read form the source file or disk.
How can I get these to not show up for everyone?

Hi,
Thank you for using Word IT Pro Discussions
forum.
The first time that Word is started after a crash, the "Document Recovery" task pane will appear on the left side of the screen.
If you do not want these files shown in the document recovery task pane, click Start, in the Search box, type regedit and press Enter to open registry editor.
Locate the registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Terminal Server\Install\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Word\Resiliency
There will be a key called "document recovery". Delete everything in this key. Once everything in this key is deleted, the problem will go away.

Does Pages recover unsaved documents if your computer crashes?

I had some things open in pages (A story, some notes from class) that I hadn't yet saved, and then my computer crashed totally at random. Is there any way to recover them? I know Word has unsaved document recovery....

If you never saved it, No.
Are you still on OSX 10.5.8?
ForeverSave Lite will automatically save for you. OSX 10.7 will also autosave, but still needs to have you save the first time so it knows where to save it.
Word must leave a heck of a lot of randomly named files lying around if you never save.

Pages crashes when opening any document on iPad 3 Latest version. I tried everything I could find on the net and finally deleted Pages from my device and reinstalled it. Still when I try to create a new document or open a document it just crashes out.

Try this:
Make sure IOS is updated to latest version
Reboot device by pressing both the home button and sleep/wake (power) buttons at the same time for 10-15 seconds until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Is it possible to ignore the cover page of a document when viewing two pages at a time.

when viewing a document with two pages up at a time, I want to ignore the very first page/cover page in the document so that all subsequent pages line up correctly. I can't find how to do this, is it possible. I cannot extract or delete the first page b/c the document is protected. I don't want to modify the document in any way. This document is a catalog that has information spread across two pages. So, when the cover page is included in the two page scroll viewing option, all the corresponding pages are offset by one page. I want the cover page to be at the top, by itself and the rest of the pages to show side by side.

Show - Page Display - tick Show Cover Page in Two Page View.

How do you recover a pages document when pages crashes before you can save it for the first time

Pages crashed unexpectedly before I had a chance to save it for the first time. How can I recover that document? It must be out there somewhere!!
Thanks

If it wasn't saved once it is gone.

Pages has no auto save or document recovery? seriously?what century is this?

Are you reading carefully ?
LIon (OSX 10.7) embed an Autosave and a Versions feature at system level.
iWork components are using them.
The question and the given answer were dedicated to apps running under older systems.

Why should any user be expected to check for this? Most every Apple - heck most every modern product does it automatically.
It's perfectly odd to assume that an application deliver this or that feature.
It's perfectly wrong to write that "most every Apple - heck most every modern product does it automatically".
TextEdit did that but iLife apps didn't and I'm not sure that Apple's Pro apps were doing that before Lion.
More, some users are ranting in several threads against the Autosave and Versions features introduced by Lion.

Pages document recovery

I've just spent the last 6 hours preparing a report in Pages 09 and when I went to save the document pages crashed! When I reopened the document in Pages it had reverted to an earlier saved version. How do I recover the lost work? I normally use Microsoft Word and this is the first time I've decided to use pages.

Well, I just lost a technical report I wrote in Pages '08. The computer ran out of battery overnight and when it tried to come out of hibernation there was a kernel panic. After restart, my document was reduced to a list of notes I had hours before I finished.
I understand that you are supposed to save your work. I can't imagine that I didn't slap cmd-s at some point during the work, but the evidence says otherwise. Really though - I haven't had this problem since I was 10 yrs old working with an Apple IIe and some random word processor whose name I don't even remember. A modern word processor should seriously auto-save. You don't even have to overwrite the main document or the manual backup version, just be able to recover if something screwy happens (like OSX crashing!? - since when does that happen?)
I'm starting to really get irritated with the quality control apple is showing. It used to be their strength. The OS is losing it's edge -bugs are creeping in all over- and their paid software is getting eclipsed by free offerings (I bet Google Docs has an auto-save).
Ok, I guess I should end the rant. Suffice it to say I was about to purchase the Mac Box Set to upgrade iLife, Iwork, and my OS. I think the money is going into a Microsoft Office license now. At least it has auto-save. Ugh.

Is it possible to put a watermark on all of the pages of the document?

Hi,
It's not possible within FormsCentral. If you are distributing your form as a PDF, you could use Adobe Acrobat to apply the watermark. When editing a PDF created by FormsCentral, please refer to the following document:

Good day. Is there into Pages the possibility to compare two documents? In order to reveal changes.

Good day. Is there into Pages the possibility to compare two documents? In order to reveal changes.

Hi iMayner,
I don't know of a way to easily compare two documents in Pages. Maybe there is an app to do this, but I don't know of one.
What you can do in Pages is to open both documents, resize the windows and drag them side-by-side on the screen. Pages 5 has a limit on how narrow you can make the windows, so this may be a bit of a pain.
The first step would be to show the Word Count in both documents. (Pages 5.5.1 Menu > View > Show Word Count, or click on the View button in the ToolBar and Show Word Count). If the Word Counts are the same, you have **some** confidence that the documents are identical, but no guarantee.
An example of two short documents with different word counts:
Document A (33 words)
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Don't count your chickens until they hatch.
Don't cross your bridges until you come to them.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
Document B (34 words)
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.
Don't count your chickens until they have hatched.
Don't cross your bridges until you come to them.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away.
To home in on that difference, copy and paste each document into a column in a spreadsheet such as Numbers or Excel, so that each paragraph becomes a cell in a column. Turn on Wrap text in cell.
The different heights of each cell (paragraph) become apparent.
Happy Christmas!
Regards,
Ian.

Is it possible to see all pages in one document at once?

Hey.
So I can't figure out if it's possible to see all pages in one document at once, so that it's all on screen at the same time.
Is it possible and if it is then how so?
Thanks in advance for any kind of help

Wouldn't that depend on how many pages there are, how large your screen is and how small you were willing to put up with in the thumbnails?

Pages crashes when opening document URGENT CONFIDENTIAL!

I created a pages document in Pages (iPad) and designed a note taking template for counseling - type applications. It contained a table with large rows for note taking.
As I couldn't duplicate the table (which took up a whole page) I sendt to iTunes & edited in Pages (Mac) - duplicating the table so now 5 tables appeared in the document. I sent back to iPad.
I duplicated this document a number of times and renamed for a client.
After two hours of very important and intimate note taking, the app crashed.
When I try to open this very important document, pages crashes. I can't email it or convert it or anything - it just crashes. It also doesn't show up in iTunes.
Have I just learned the hard way that iPad / Pages is not a serious business application? I hope not as this document represents a confidentiality risk as well.
Any help in recovering this document would be very helpful if anyone knows. Also maybe a serious alternative to Apple software?

I'm having the same problem. About 5 pages, each with a picture and two tables. Not that much text and not that many columns or rows.
If I try to send the document by email (as pages or woed), or copy to iDisk nothing happens and I'm back on the iPad home page.
Trying to share with iWork.com I get and error and then pages is locked, and I have to use the multi-tasking bar to kill it.
Very disappointed as local document creation is really useful and quite nice, but is simple documents get corrupted, and can't be recovered then thats quite a large area in where the iPad isn't of use.

Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down men

When selecting "Rotate Pages" from the "Document" drop down menu Acrobat 8 Professional 8.1.2 crashes. Every time, no error mesage. Have run "Repair Acrobat Installation" with no success. Any suggestions? Thanks

I am also experiencing the same problem only recently. I have used the program for almost a year without any problems except now. Adobe Acrobat 8 standard, ver 8.1.5.
Whenever I insert pages or rotate, I get an immediate shut down window, “Adobe Acrobat 8.1 ahs encountered a problem and needs to close.
I am no longer able to use this program. Abobe Acrobat 5.0 still works fine. Does anyone have a solution? I already did a repair and reloaded the program.

It can also depend on the application you are using. Which are you using for this project.

Indesign CS5 crashing on document open

I'm having a problem with a roughly 30 page indesign cs5 document - on opening it crashes within a couple of seconds. In the windows 7 (64bit) error log, it gives me:

Things I've tried:
Installed the InDesign CS5 7.0.3 update
Deleted preferences
Reinstalled cs5, using the cleaner tool
Opened in cs4 - doesn't want to open
Opened on another machine
Deleted all fonts used in the project
Tried placing the indd inside another doc
In case you wanted to try it for yourself, you can download the file here: version 1 & version 2.
Is there anything else I should try?

Hi Bob,
Naturally we of course charge and it costs only 99, no-cure, no-pay. It does not get any better than that. Do you know how much time I spent recovering this customers file? More than an hour. It often takes "testing" page-by-page, by deleting a page, re-saving and repeating this step each time, from the recovered file in the 'intermediate layout format,' as just one 'for example' story from the trenches. Each job has generally something interesting and these files from the OP were tiny compared to some of the huge jobs we have to download, deal with and re-upload. This all said, I do see your point, so I think you should fully understand how I was 'led' here in this case, since you asked...
In this case the OP (original poster), emailed me the link to THIS forum url and asked me to help. So I did. Thus no, no bait being used here at all. Yet quite frankly, many would GLADLY want to hear about this service before going through many and various loops of fire only to have no results, when the Markzware no-fix, no-pay InDesign file recovery service is available, as this recent customer testimonial closes with (He wished he would have just turned to Markzware right from the start):
"...Within one or two hours, Markzware had the converted and fixed file back with all of the images and content preserved and it now opened perfectly. So to be honest, if we had know about this Markzware Corrupted InDesign File Recovery Service off the bat, we would have gone straight for it."
Devin Drake - CEO at appacci
Thank you Bob for all the referrals as well, we appreciate that. Please keep them coming! In this case though, we were led here by the OP in a rush, like many of these bad InDesign jobs end up being, for a recovery solution. We provided that recovery with no strings attached, as we always strive to deliver.
Have a great one,
David
