Pages deletes CVS folders - breaks my CVS

I'm really surprised I was unable to find anyone else with this problem (though it's very difficult to search for problems with a program named "pages").
This actually occurs in all iwork documents. I'm running a CVS, which creates (and requires) "CVS" folders in every folder I'm maintaining, including .pages files (which are really just folders). However, every time I save an iwork document, it deletes this folder - or more accurately, overwrites it. This completely destroys my ability to commit these files to my CVS.
Is there any workaround? Any way to get iwork apps to stop deleting the folders?

It is a known problem: http://pagesfaq.blogspot.com/search?q=cvs

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages - what the **** is going on???

Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.

You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

How do you delete entire folders of pictures in the image editing software instead of one at a time!

Don't know how I did it, but I imported 11,000 pictures into the new image editing software - none of which I took with my new powershot sx50 hs. I can only delete the ONE AT A TIME - HELP!! Anyway to delete entire folders?

Thank you for your reply. I did not get an 'advanced guide' on the CD... I just got 89 page user guide.
About deleting, you can not select multiple pics (by holding control key). You can only delete ONE at a time. I don't have time to delete 11, 137 pictures.
OH MY! Love the camera but paid too much for it not to be able to use the software. Thanks again.

I have two accounts with the same name. One no longer works. Can I delete it without deleting the folders it shares with the other account? How?

Each account has the same name (e.g. both are called [email protected]). The newer one was set up by accident during a conversion from Outlook. Both access the same inbox and sent mail. The two accounts show up as separate in Thunderbird and both have their own inboxes and sent mail boxes. The older one has not updated since the newer one was created, and the older one can no longer reach the server. I want to delete the old one, but am worried that it may delete the folders for the new one in the process. All of the relevant messages are still hosted on the ISP's server. Please advise whether I can do a simple "delete account" on the old account and not wipe out the new one at the same time.

Actually, doing a "delete account" does not delete the folders associated with it. They are still there, but unused. There should not be a problem with doing the "delete account".

Making a PDF with LiveCycle then being able to edit pages, insert pages, delete pages, attach files to document, be readable in Adobe Reader etc.

We have been working for some time with LiveCycle to creat a documents and have experienced a host of problems with the end product.
1. Images inserted into the LiveCycle PDF document often come up as "broken links" after editing the document and resaving it.
2. Documents will not display in Acrobat reader unless a digital signature is applied to them and the document is re-saved.
3. After making the document, we are unable to use Adobe Pro to insert pages, delete pages, or insert files into the document as attachments.
The end state was to use the simplicity of LiveCycle to create a document and do most of the hard work, and then save it as a PDF document that could be easily edited with Adobe Pro. It has proven difficult, to say the least, to figure out how to make this work.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

1- Thank you
2- It only seems rational that if I make a form with LiveCycle that I should be able to view it with Adobe Reader or Adobe Pro.
Making a form with LiveCycle to be distrubuted to personnel internally that have Adobe Reader and Adobe Pro and cannot open it without it having a digital signature field in it that has just recently been signed just doesn't make sense. Nor does it seem to make sense to have to purchase 200 additional licenses just for LiveCycle so that people can open a PDF that was made with LiveCycle. If I make it in LiveCycle and only people with LiveCycle can open it, what is the purpose of making it to begin with?
3- This also totally sucks. In a standard Adobe Doc I can at least attach documents to it?
So, what, exactly then, is the purpose of LiveCycle if the only benefit it seems to provide is ease of creation, but the end product has way less functionality?
And how do I go about contacting an Adobe rep on the phone in regards to this without getting "there is no support for this product, go to Adobe.com"
We have millions of dollars of Adobe software and can't get support other than hunting and pecking in these forums? Really?

How to get the page number in the break section?

Hi expert,
The user wants the page number came right after the Break group name if the break section contains more than 1 page. E.g.
ABC Compnay
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
BCD Company, p 1
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
BCD Company, p 2
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
CDE Company
XXXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX
XXXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXXXXX
How to get the page number in section break level?

Hi Wes
* Create a Field on the margin.
* Set its "Source" to "Page Number"/"Physical Page Number".
* Click "Page Numbering" button.
* In "Reset At" list box, choose the Repeating frame that surrounds your detail group in the layout.
This should cause Reports to increment the page number until the "Company" repeating frame resets.

How do I adjust the page orientation in Pages? I want to keep the pages above the section break as portrait, and the ones below I want to change into landscape. Is this possible? I can only get it to be one or the other but not both.

I want to keep the pages above the section break as portrait, and the ones below I want to change into landscape. Is this possible? I can only get it to be one or the other but not both.

The work around is to do two documents, one in portrait format and one in landscape format. When finished export to Pdf. open in Preview by select both files and use Cmd + O or doubleclick. You can now in Previews thumbnail column the pages from one document into the other and then save.
If you have created only one with i.e. all pages in portrait format but with the content for the landscape pages rotated on the pages, you can rotate the pages in Preview. Two ways to get the same result.

Where do deleted bookmark folders go and can they be recovered?

Does anyone know where deleted bookmark folders go? I accidently deleted one while editing, and cannot find it in the trash bin.

There are no backups, but will start a regular program now so that this doesn't happen again.
Many thanks for your replies.

Listing of deleted files/folders

i have lost a folder. somehow, i am assuming i had it slected with something else and deleted...and emptied the trash. i have mutliple backups including a mirra drive and a hard backup. all i need to find out is WHEN this happened so i know roughly what is truly lost (the time added between last backup and now)... is there a log kept of deleted files/folders??

No log I know of. There's a good chance you can recover the that file, though. Try Prosoft Data Rescue. There is a free trial to see if it can recover what you need. But don't do another process on that drive until you've downloaded and run it.

Deleteing files/folders from network drive

I have a USB drive connected in to my Airport Extreme and I have conifgured user level access accounts for this. The four the iMac G4, iMac G5, iBook and Powerbook are all able to copy and delete files/folders with no problems. My Windows Vista machine is able to copy files/folders but I am only able to delete folders when they contain no files or sub-folders - sadly I do not have access to the full message but it is related to not having the correct permissions.
The USB drive is Mac OS X Extended format as a Fat 32 format drive did not appear on the network (this was before the recent Airport update though).
Has anyone else encountered this problem and if so - do you know of a way around it?

Guess it's just me
Any ideas?

CS4 - can't delete files/folders - doesn't match windows directory but works fine in DW8

When I delete files/folders in CS4 the deletion is not reflected in my local windows directory.
And if I exit CSW and reload CS4 all the files and folders are back again.
I have never used cloaking but ran uncloak all with no result.
But all this workd fine in DW8.
Any thoughts?

Oh... well this is interesting... disk utility is say that it IS formatted MS-DOS (FAT32). Is that what's causing these errors? This thing has been running with my mac beautifully for years. So do I pull my stuff off, wipe it and reformat it for a mac? Or since it is FAT 32 can I hook it up to a windows computer and fix the problem? Since I had the wrong format, I can delete the files but if I don't fix the format this will keep happening?

Batch deleting PhotoBooth folders from Users home directories

I am trying to free up server space. Photo booth is quite popular among my students 300+. Is there a way to delete the folders all at once from their home folders?

On the server, in Terminal.app do:
sudo rm -rf /Volumes/<nameofdisk>/<pathtouserfoldersharepoint>/Users/*/Pictures/"Photo Booth"/*
The above may not work if you have the user's folders with a space in their username.
You can prevent the use of the built-in iSight camera on iMacs by issuing thiese commands in ARD's 'Send Unix command...':
srm -rf /System/Library/Extensions/IOUSBFamily.kext/Contents/PlugIns/AppleUSBVideoSuppo rt.kext
Then:
touch /System/Library/Extensions
Then reboot the machines. This will remove the kext for the iSight and clear the kext cache.
Test it on one machine before applying it to a whole lab.
