Pages keeps asking me to save a document when I'm just scrolling through it
Is this normal behavior? I'm just scrolling through a document without making a single change, and Pages asks me to save it every single time. I don't remember Pages '08 having this issue.
Is it just me? I've got all of the Save Preferences unchecked and it still happens. It's incredibly frustrating that I cannot tell if a document has actual changes made, or if it's just being annoying.
Please tell me this is a Pages error and not just me.
thanks.

Hello
May you look at this problem.
As I have no notebook I can't check.
It seems that using the 'two-finger scroll" marks the documents as "Modified" so needing a Save.
I grabbed that in:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1894698&tstart=0
Okay, I see what you are talking about now. My impression from your first post was that Pages kept popping up some message about saving, but apparently you are talking about the normal save question if you try to close a changed document or quit the program - right?
The two-finger scroll comment helped me replicate it, though I don't match everything you said. Here is what I find:
1. Don't have to select anything at all.
2. Does it on one page document too (it does take every line on the page so many that is a factor).
3. I'm on a 13.3" macbook so not all of a single page fits on the screen so I have to scroll (is that your situation or can you fit a single page on the screen?).
4. If I use the two-finger scroll, after about 3-4 lines, I think, the little circle icon that says the file is changed will get the dot in it.
Okay, that doesn't help much, but at least I can confirm your situation and add some other details.
If you can fit a full page on a screen and a single page doesn't have this problem, but I can't fit a single page and the problem still shows up for me, that might be a small clue for someone - Apple at least if this is a bug.

Please help me turn it off!
You need to update to Pages 4.1. If you haven't moved or renamed Pages then you'll be able to update Pages by running Software Update on your Mac. Or if you purchased Pages from the Mac App Store then you can launch the Store and click on Updates.

I cannot retrieve my emails on my Mac Book Pro operating on 10.7.3 Icloud was already workingit keeps asking for password and when i put correct password in it keeps asking for it again and again. This has just started today
Though it's unlikely to be wrong if things were set up properly in the first place, as a check go to Mail Preferences>Accounts and check that the server setting for IMAP (incoming) is imap.mail.me.com (not just mail.me.com).
Your next step either way would be to go to System Preferences>iCloud and sign out, then sign back in again. (You can ignore warnings about data disappearing - your calendars etc. will disappear when you sign out but reappear when you sign back in). -

Pages keeps asking for registration code. Help!!
I had downloaded a 30 day free trial of Pages before I actually bought it and now that I bought it, it keeps asking for a registration number but I don't have one since I bought it off the Mac app store. I cant save any documents or anything! Can someone help me???
Have you deleted the old Pages copy you downloaded? If not, open Finder, go to Applications folder and do it. Also, delete the Pages copy you downloaded from the App Store. Then, open Terminal (in /Applications/Utilities) and type:
sudo rm ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist
Finally, open the App Store, go to Purchases tab and download Pages again -
I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both. I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough - or maybe it's me?
All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

PLease help: pages won't let me save a document
My problem: I type a text, hit 'save as' , name the file and trouble starts:
A window pops up saying it is a locked document or file in use. Of course after
checking it, none of it is the case, well, theoretical yeah the file is in use as I want to save it (!!!)
Does anybody know if SL has an issue with the application of pages ?
I thought there would only be an issue with apple works in that respect.
I'm not a computer person but appreciate any help with this. I tried to save anything but it won't let me save a document at all...the same window pops up.It might be better to post over at the Pages forum.

TS3297 Redeem Code page keeps asking for iTunes password
Windows 8. I've bought one movie, but on the second try, the Code redemption keeps asking for my password.
Thanks for your advice.Me too.
It is asking me for my iTunes password too often.
I would be okay with it _if it was just for when I hit UPDATE for an application, or buy a new one_... but it seems like it's constantly asking for my iTunes password.

How can I stop Pages from changing parts of a document when I am progressing through an 8 page newsletter. When I go back to check something some headings have moved and been put out of context. I can't lock the individual pages of the document to prevent this happening.
The Amazon iWork '09 is a DVD in a boxed set.
Downloading is transferring something from the Internet.
I think you are talking about not having a DVD drive?
To install the DVD version, either get an external USB DVD drive, they are cheap on eBAy or borrow another computer and drag the iWork Installer onto a USB Flash Drive and install from that.
