Pages doc to usb drive

I'm trying to save a "pages" document to a usb drive. How do I share the document to this drive? I want to have the document printed at the printers. It's a medical document and I can't email it.

For a commercial printer, Print to .pdf but make sure you have sufficient resolution for all your images, use the correct color profiles and avoid transparency in any objects, which includes, shadows, refections, fancy borders and 3D charts.
Also make sure all black text and linework is pure 100% black and not cmyk mixes.
A Printer can better work from an original Pages file with the fonts used, but that means they must have Macs and the same version of Pages.

How to backup docs and pics using a USB drive?

I'm a fairly new Mac user and I'm panicking a little right now. I bought a USB to backup my pictures, documents, etc. (I also backup using Time Machine and an external drive, but wanted some extra protection). I just inserted the USB drive for the first time, it showed up on my desktop as "Untitled" (so far, so good), then I dragged my Documents folder from the Dock to the USB icon and the Documents folder from the Dock is gone. (Yikes!) When I opened the USB icon, there was nothing in it. I looked in Finder and my Documents are still in this Mac (somewhere), but how do I get the folder of them back onto the Dock? And before I go any further, what is the (proper) procedure for backing up my docs and pics (from iPhoto) to this USB drive?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm not gonna touch a thing until I hear from someone with more Mac knowledge than this Mac newbie.
Sunny

Select the drive in the Finder, choose Get Info from the File menu, and if it's format doesn't contain Mac OS Extended, use the Disk Utility in the /Applications/Utilities/ folder to erase it.
Click on the item in the Finder's sidebar with the house icon and drag the items inside you want to back up onto the external drive and drag the Documents folder to the Dock.

Can I undo iCloud Drive? I can't access my Pages docs on iMac since I upgraded to OS 8, unless I upgrade to OS X Yosemite. I don't need ICloud!

Can I undo iCloud Drive? I can't access my Pages docs on iMac 10.9.5 since recent upgrade, unless I also upgrade to OS X Yosemite. I don't need iCloud for docs.

Hi ..
Unfortunately, you're stuck between a rock and a hard place until Yosemite is released this fall. Hopefully sometime in October.

Cisco USB Driver for Microsoft Windows 7 PC?

Hello All,
I want a USB Driver for the USB Console cable which came up with Cisco Router.
Note that this USB Console cable has both the sides USB ports ( 1 side of the port goes to USB Console Port of Router and other side goes to USB port of your Laptop)
I searched on cisco.com.
Found the below link:
http://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/switches/lan/catalyst6880_x/hardware/installation/guide/b_c6880-X_hig/b_c6880-X_hig_appendix_01001.pdf
However, when I go to download link, it appears as "Page Not Found"
I want to try this option and connect my Laptop's HyperTerminal to Router's USB Console.
Does anyone know the USB driver for this?
Thanks
Chinar

Hi Chinar-
It looks like this will work with Windows 7.

[SOLVED] Thunar (XFCE4) Does not Auto-mount USB Drive

After reading some posts related to USB auto-mounting in Thunar and yet still having the problem, I decided to post this. Thunar used to detect the USB drives and auto-mount them. These days (I GUESS after moving to systemd), It cannot do so. Still, there is the icon of USB drive on the left side panel, but when I click on it to browse it, I get this error:
Failed to mount "USB_LABLE".
Error when getting information for file
'/media/usbhd-sdc1': Transport endpoint is not connected.
I am still able to use "sudo mount..." and get the job done, but I would prefer the convenient way it used to work. Here are some information about my system:

I'd rather not edit the /etc/fstab; the way Thunar used to behave, was working with every new USB. I wonder if anybody can shed some lights.

The error looks suspiciously like one I had not so long ago and it turned out I still had an 11-media-by-label-auto-mount.rule in /etc/udev/rules.d. Once I removed that and rebooted everything was fine again.

Syncing Pages doc with links

In Pages 5.2.2, I have a document with many hyperlinks. Works fine within the document, but I want to export so I can use the doc in Google Drive to sync with my iPad 2, or some other way to sync besides iCloud if possible. iCloud hasn't been working great for me under Mavericks and iOS 7, which is why I haven't bothered to get Pages for iOS yet.
When I export the Pages doc to a Word doc and then convert to Google docs file, the links appear but are not directly clickable.. the full URL appears on secondary click. And that is clickable. But those links in the same document viewed in iOS are not clickable at all.
Maybe once I get iOS 8 and Yosemite, iCloud Drive will be the answer, but meantime, any ideas for easily sharing this Pages document across devices? Would it be best to buy the Pages app for iOS at this point?

Thanks, I think it's free for newer devices, but I have an iPad 2 and in the App Store it says $9.99.

Unable to Load USB Driver in LV for Total Phase's Aardvark I2C adaptor

I have tried to instal Total Phase's Aardvark I2C USB driver for LabVIEW on two computers and two versions of LV (8.5 and 7.1) without success. The Windows driver seems to be working fine as their command center gui terminal-esque program works without a hitch, but the LV DLL doesn't seem to work.
Attached is the very simple vi to find connected Aardvark USB devices (aa_find_devices). It always returns the same error code, 8002, which resolves to:
AA_UNABLE_TO_LOAD_DRIVER
-2
unable to load USB driver
From their documentation: http://www.totalphase.com/docs/aardvark_datasheet/sect005/#s5.9
This looks like perhaps the LabVIEW DL, "aardvark.dll" maybe having a versioning issue. So my question is this: Using LabVIEW, how does one debug dll dependencies and resolve issues like this? Do I need the source code for the lib?
Cheers,
Joe Gorse

Dear Joe,
Let me start off by apologizing for the inconvenience you
have gone through. I am an engineer at Total Phase. We are
working on fixing this issue for our next release of the
Aardvark LabVIEW Driver. This forum post was only brought
to our attention today. In the future, you can also let
Total Phase know about these kinds of issues by emailing
[email protected] We are very responsive through
email or phone.
The problem you are experiencing has to do with versioning
issues between our DLL and USB driver. Specifically, DLLs
before v5.xx must use the older version of our USB driver.
By replacing the DLL from our latest version of Control
Center, you have effectively upgraded the DLL that the
LabVIEW driver is using and made it compatible with v2.xx of
the USB driver.
The most likely reason that smercurio_fc did not see a
difference between the DLL in Aardvark Control Center and
the LabVIEW driver is because he is using an older version
of Control Center and correspondingly an older version of
the USB driver.
The reason that we have not packaged the LabVIEW driver with
latest DLL is due to the fact that a few functions have
changed their function prototypes (for example aa_open_ext
and aa_spi_write), and the VIs have not yet been updated
accordingly. Although updating the DLL solved your USB
driver issue, it introduced this new issue. If you try to
use these certain VIs, LabVIEW will error out.
We are currently working on updating the LabVIEW drivers to
work cohesively with the new DLL and USB driver, and this
should be available soon. If you need immediate
availability to the functions with new prototypes you will
have to change it manually. The other recommended option is
to simply revert back to the DLL that is packaged with our
LabVIEW driver and downgrade the USB driver back to v1.xx.
I will make sure to post again once the update is released,
and I once again apologize for the inconvenience.
Best regards,
Etai

How to transfer files Pages docs in bulk from iPad to Mac

Since the lovely iCloud Drive came out and Yosemite, things have been woefully out of sync with my iPad. I've posted in a number of places on these boards and even, according to a rep I've been in touch with from Apple Support, an engineer is troubleshooting the problem. I have a LOT of Pages docs I've accumulated in iCloud on my iPad. I cannot access iCloud through a browser or on my desktop Mac. In other words, I can view and edit files from my iPad, but I canNOT do the same on my Mac. If I want to transfer files from my iPad the only way I can think of is
Open Pages
Tap the arrow up at the top
Tap send a copy
Tap ONE selected document
Tap what format to send it in (sadly, I'm using Word b/c I don't trust Pages anymore)
Tap selection of how to send (to ITunes)
Only then can I go to iTunes on my Mac and transfer the file. I have probably hundreds of docs I want and need and can't afford to have them floating semi-available in the cloud or lost forever.
A few other details:
- I cannot access Pages in iCloud through a browser (any browser, any machine, anywhere; I've tried every combination possible, when I log into iCloud and go to Pages, it cycles and then dumps me out to the login screen)
- I have a few third-party apps which let me look into my iPad and have slightly more functionality than iTunes permits, but none of them permit wholesale basic drag-and-drop a bunch of files and save to another drive. I know this is b/c the files are ostensibly in iCloud, but
- Here are other places I've posted about this problem
can't log in to iCloud.com
Pages under Yosemite not in sync with iCloud Drive and other issues
Thanks in advance.....

Though no one replied to this topic, I'm updating with what I've learned after spending many hours on the phone with an Apple tech rep who had esacalated to engineers. There is NO solution. Docs that are out of sync or unretrievable from iCloud or iCloud Drive, they cannot assist with. They offered to wipe my iCloud Drive account and reset it, but I wanted them to restore it afterwards. Just a simple, pull the data off, dump it on an FTP server so I can access it. Nope. No assistance. Not their problem. I have to manually pull ALL the files off my iPad's iCloud account, the ones I can get to and go through this insane 6 step process to get to those docs. Really disappointed with Apple. Using MS Word on the iPad and though not perfect...at least the Pages docs won't be lost.

Apple mobile device USB driver is missing and cannot be installed

Hi,
My iPod nano (6th gen) is not recognised by iTunes but is recognised by Windows sometimes (once in 2-3 attempts).
Every time I connect my iPod to my laptop, a window pops up saying "an iPod is detected but could not be identified properly...".
I looked through apple support page and narrowed down the cause to the driver.
Apple mobile device USB driver does not show up in Device Manager.
However iPod does show up under Portable Devices as a camera when iPod is recognised by Windows.
I tried reinstalling Apple Mobile Device USB Driver as it was shown in the support page (right click on iPod in Device Manager>update driver software>...).
This did not work (gave me an error saying "the folder you specified doesn't contain a compatible software driver for your device...".
So I tried another method I found online; extract iTunes installer (itunes6464setup.exe), extract AppleMobileDeviceSupport6464.msi in it, and use the files in it to update driver.
This gave me the same error.
It seems that a Windows driver is installed for my iPod (WPD FileSystem Volume Driver); when I opt for "search automatically" in Uptade driver software, this driver shows up with the message "the best driver for your device is already installed".
Also, my iPod is shown in Devices and Printers with an exclamation mark (when I connect my iPod to my laptop, the exclamation mark shows up only after I click OK on the message window "an iPod is detected but could not be identified properly...")
Troubleshoot showed "Windows is uninstalling this device (Code 21)".
I'd appreciate it if someone could help with the situation.
I'm using Windows 8.1, iTunes 12.1 for Windows 64bit, and iPod nano 6th gen.
I haven't connected my iPod to my laptop for a long while, but I recall connecting an iPhone to my laptop a while ago and it was recognised just fine.
After that I updated my Windows from 8 to 8.1, but I don't think it has anything to do with the problem as my iPod wasn't recognised by iTunes before and after the update.
Thank you in advance!

For general advice see Troubleshooting issues with iTunes for Windows updates.
The steps in the second box are a guide to removing everything related to iTunes and then rebuilding it which is often a good starting point unless the symptoms indicate a more specific approach. Review the other boxes and the list of support documents further down the page in case one of them applies.
Your library should be unaffected by these steps but there is backup and recovery advice elsewhere in the user tip.
If the advice above doesn't resolve things you could try this alternate version:
iTunes 12.1.0.71 for Windows (64-bit - for older video cards) - itunes64setup.exe (2015-01-28)
which is a 64-bit installer for the 32-bit version of the core application, similar to previous 64-bit releases. Or roll back to the previous build:
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (32-bit) - iTunesSetup.exe (2014-10-16)
iTunes 12.0.1.26 for Windows (64-bit) - iTunes64Setup.exe (2014-10-16)

Windows 7 Install - Blackscreen/USB drive

Hello,
I'm trying to install Windows 7 Home Premium (64bit) on my iMac (late 2009) and unable to get past the dread blackscreen that is posted on the Apple Support help pages (http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3173).
I've reformated the USB drive, added the drivers as described, but unable to get past a certain point in the install. I can get to the Windows 7 install screen, reformated the partition and then it will reboot successfully a couple of times,. However when its at the "completing install" phase and it reboots once again, then it gets stuck at the blackscreen. I imagine its at this point that the drivers should be recognized on the USB, but aren't. Which is odd, as I'm able to use the screen, mouse and keyboard throughout most of the install without issue.
I assume it's because it is unable to find the drivers on the USB key and unsure what else to do. Does it make a difference which USB port I use? Also, the USB drive is "old" (5 yrs +). Perhaps that's an issue?
I'm stumped and looking for help. Feel free to ask more questions if you think I've left out some important details.
Thanks.

Well, seems the issue was actually the old USB key (256MB). Installed the drivers onto a new 8G USB and no issues. Worked like a charm.

Arch corrupts FS on external USB drive.

Good day almighty All,
I have a Dell Latitude E6520 laptop with SSD drive, which is probably unrelated to the problem.
Recently I decided to install Arch linux on it, but before that, being a bloody smart person, I decided to back up existing windows partition and CentOS filesystem to the external HDD connected with some noname SATA-to-USB connector.
(Actually it has a name, which is "Bus 002 Device 009: ID 14cd:6116 Super Top M6116 SATA Bridge").
Enclose has my old 500GB Segate in it with LVM partition.
So the box was booted with CentOS installed, first 2048 sectors of the drive and windows partitions were dumped with dd to the files on external HDD.
Could not tell which FS was on the volume, but most probably ext3.
After that I installed Arch (base, base-devel, grub as per installation manual), changed CentOS GRUB-0.9 to GRUB2, rebooted into arch, was unpleasantly surprised by the missing ifconfig, rebooted back into Arch usb, installed net-tools, rebooted into Arch, installed various small things like vim and KDE minimal, added missing ttf-dejavu, still could not boot into KDM - startx only.
Everything was going well so far.
Then it happened.
I mounted my USB drive from Arch and tried to dump on it CentOS partition.
Somewhere at the mark of 30-40Gb from the start I got Input/Output errors and that's it - partition is dead.
When I tried to remount it I've got:
mount: wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/mapper/lenovo01-data,
missing codepage or helper program, or other error
In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try
dmesg | tail or so
I ran fsck on other laptop (Fedora 17) and got file system fixed but empty (well, lots of errors, everything was linked under lost+found).
RIP my backup (I have a copy on the storage and this one will be accessed via network only
I re-created FS (ext3), copied on it couple gigs of test files, connected drive to dell, mounted FS, "ls" the dir, all good.
Unmounted FS, mounted again - get what is quoted above - I/O errors.
The same drive on the same laptop works without any problem with installed CentOS and live GRML so it is not a hardware itself.
So far:
1. external drive can be mounted without problem when it is just connected to Arch
2. After some data traffic it starts to produce I/O errors.
3. When good FS is unmounted and then mounted again the story is the same - I/O errors.
4. As soon as it happened I cannot change FS on drive, I cannot change partition table and so on. fdisk and mkfs completed without error but FS is not there and attempt to mount produces the error above.
Below is some info about installation:
System is installed on encrypted with Luks LVM partition.
External HDD is not encrypted.

Little bit of testing, just out of curiousity - do not have time to dig into it, sorry.
It puts garbage starting with "USBC" in first 32 bytes (the rest of the string varies) and then skips first 4K.
Tested it with CentOS - at least its 2.6 kernel works as expected.

I want to dual boot Windows 8 on my 20-inch, Mid 2007 iMac, from an external USB drive.

I want to dual boot Windows 8 on my 20-inch, Mid 2007 iMac, from an external USB drive. The internal drive is completely dead, it doesn't even show up in Disk Utility. I'm running 10.8.2 from the external drive. When I start Boot Camp Assistant, at the Introduction page, when I press the continue button nothing happens. Do I have to have internal drive to run Boot Camp Assistant? Can anyone provide me with the steps to dual boot, with his setup? Thanks in advance!

Hi maczimillon,
Only follow these steps, it works for my:
Open "System Information" and note your "Boot ROM Version" (some like MBP51.007E.B06)
Navigate to "Utilities" in Finder and open the package contents of -BootCampAssistant.app- with right click. Duplicate the "Info.plist" file to the Desktop e.g. and open that with Text Editor.
You must locate the keys "DARequiredROMVersions"and "USBBootSupportedModels"
Add new strings with the information of your machine under booth keys (step 1), always respect the format, such as: <string>MBP51.007E.B06</string> for the frist key and <string>MBP51</string> for the second key.
Save changes and replace the original plist file (it may ask you to enter admin pass)
If you proceeded correctly you will see the checkbox "Create a Windows 7 USB install disk" enabled in Boot Camp Assistant.
Then you can follow the usual Boot Camp installation using your WIN8 DVD iso image . The assistant program will proceed resizing your disk partition and installing necessary drivers for your iMac.
I strongly recomends you to use thirld party's bootloaders like rEFInd (rEFIt) because of the Apple SMC versions of some old machines should not be able to boot properly from external devices like USB drives.

BOOT FROM AN EXTERNAL USB DRIVE???

I know apple has made it clear about booting from an external USB drive
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106474
but I know that there are people who are able to boot from an external drive, does anybody know how to do this?
It's just that id like to work on final cut studio on an external drive for various reasons:
1st: my powerbook's HD is small and slow (60gb)
2nd: my external usb drive is big (160 gb) and fast (7200 RMPS!)
so a little help would be apreciated
best regards

"Actually, USB II is faster than FW 400."
