Pages leaves Recovery Files in the trash every time I use it. Fix?

I have Pages '08 version 3.0.2. Every time I use it, it will leave a recovery file in the trash the next time I restart. Pages is not crashing when this happens. It happens with normal use of Pages.
What can I do to fix this? It's a paint constantly empty the trash can every time I restart.

It is a Pages problem. Let me explain why.
The article you linked to said:
+Usually temporary files *are deleted by an application* when it no longer needs them. If an application quits unexpectedly, the temporary files may not get deleted by the application.+
There's the problem. Pages is not deleting the temporary file even when I save my document successfully and close the app. This is not related to a crash. Pages should be deleting those files, but is not. So every time I restart, there's yet another Recovery File folder in the trash.
None of the other apps have this problem, including none of the other iWork apps. Pages and only pages does this (without a crash).
What I want to know is why it's not deleting the temporary files when it's supposed to. Is my copy of Pages bad or is there a problem with the .plist file? I dread opening any Pages file because I know it'll leave junk in my trash again.

Why my mac air is showing recovery files folder in trash every time

Hi
my mac air is showing recoveryfiles folder in trash every time i restart/start my computer and another problem is all the browsers are showing me mac keeper advertisement prominently.. how to get rid of thiese problems? pl. help.

The recovered files are due to an application that fails to clean up its temporary files before exiting. Microsoft products are notorious for this.
Quit Safari. Relaunch it by holding down the shift key and clicking its icon in the Dock. That will stop the ad page from reloading automatically. Select Safari ▹ Preferences ▹ Privacy ▹ Remove all website data to get rid of any cookies or other data left by the server.

The same recovered files in the trash, every morning

I'm accustomed to Mac OS X's practice of placing potentially important files in a "Recovered Files" folder in the Trash after a reboot if, say, an application crashes. But I'm getting annoyed by my computer's habit of placing a set of files in such a folder every single time it's shut down. The files all look like remnants of an Asian-language font set. Here are the most recent names:
#Junggothic.dfontATS_493169727169
#Junggothic.dfontATS_17722080525333
#Junggothic.dfontATS_3922-125658874
#Shinmyoungjo.dfontATS_493169492902
#Shinmyoungjo.dfontATS_17722080452720
#Shinmyoungjo.dfontATS_3922-126354157
#Taegraphic.dfontATS_493168710633
#Taegraphic.dfontATS_17722080055722
#Taegraphic.dfontATS_3922-128251752
I do not use any Asian-language input methods whatsoever, nor do I visit Asian-language websites with any regularity. But I can confirm that all three of these fonts:
#Junggothic.dfont
#Shinmyoungjo.dfont
#Taegraphic.dfont
... are present in ~/Library/Fonts. Does anyone else also have them, and if so do you know what program may have installed them? Is the hash symbol supposed to be present in the name? I'm tempted just to trash them, but I'd prefer not to if they're regularly used by websites, etc.
Thanks!

Since they aren't installed by OS X or MS Office, then they were installed by some third-party software you installed.
The files in the Trash are actually cache files generated by the ATS = means either Apple or Adobe Type System. Probably the former. Most likely these result from the nightly cleanup scripts tossing unneeded cache files from the Type System.
If you don't use these fonts then track them down and remove them. If they aren't in one of the three Fonts folders normally used, then they could be Adobe fonts stored elsewhere on your computer. Use a utility like Easy Find - VersionTracker or MacUpdate - to search for them.

What are the recovery files in the trash

I like to keep the trach taken out and notice every now and then their has been something put in it that I did not move there. It is a file called Recovery and has some sub folders in the main one and one of the documents seems to be witten in code. Is this normal? I delete the file when it appears and go about my business but it will eventuly show up again. Do I need to change something?

I can't say for sure. It's conceivable that an application might crash with unsaved work in a document, and you might be able to salvage that document, at least in part, from the recovered temporary file. That's why it's there. I've never known that to happen, but I don't use Office.

InDesign File crashes the program every time I try to open it...

And sometimes InDesign itself crashes when opening even with no connection to said file.

Any videos play from the interent stops during the play and then continues. This process repeats itself until the end.
The performance is slow. What can I do to fix this problem?

Hi,
Try a clean installation of the Flash Player Plug-in as follows.
First, download the Flash uninstall utility on the link below and save it to your Downloads folder.
Flash Player Uninstaller.
When the download has completed, close all browser windows, open your Download folder and run the uninstaller. After this has completed, restart the PC.
Next, ( unless you already have it ), download and install Firefox and then using Firefox, download and install the latest version of Adobe Flash. Note: You may want to deselect the option to include McAfee Security Scan Plus before downloading.
Close all browser windows before running the Flash installer.
Launch Firefox and see if videos etc play Ok in this browser - if they do, close Firefox, open Internet Explorer and click on the same Adobe Flash link above to get a prompt to install the ActiveX component. When done, restart Internet Explorer.
Regards,
DP-K

I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song!! The problem is both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing the files in the trash or not

Hi. I'm in a situation here and would really welcome some guidance. I dragged my ext. HD iTunes backed up folder into my new mac. Now there are duplicates of every song. Both versions seem to actually BE there when I check the info. So, I moved what I thought were duplicates into the trash from iTunes, and resigned myself to the fact that I would have to do this manually for each album. I did this with about 10 albums. I emptied the trash and lost them even though they still LOOKED like they were in iTunes. I repeated the process tonight on a bunch of other albums not realizing yet that I had screwed up terribly the first time. This time I saw what had happened and pulled the files out of the trash, onto my desktop and dragged them back into iTunes, then deleted the duplicate files that had exclamation points next to them. Now I have no idea if iTunes is playing duplicate files from the trash or not, and am nervous about emptying the trash. Anyone dealt with this before? Thank you

Every time I send a file to the TRASH, finder ask me to type my system password to complete the removal and wasn't like this before. How do I make to work like it was before? Thanks.

I have been working on a file in pages which I cannot open now. Every time I select it "an error occurred and pages must close" appears and pages shuts down. I have tried to duplicate the document but cannot open the copy either. I am unable to email, share via iwork, itunes, idisk or WebDAV all of these options just close pages down. Does anyone have any ideas......Thank you

And you are quite persistent, Menu Boy, in offering pernickety and pointless prattle, in response to a "support page" on iPad's buggy Pages App.
Let's summarise, for those reviewing this threadless thread for app support..
Mobile pages works reliably for simple docs, especially creating letters and Menus for Microsoft's Kindy canteen (even on special days with nice big pictures).
When importing more complex docs and/or working with larger creations, it is prone to randomly corrupting files upon re-opening, along similar lines as Word (running on a PC).
So, Menu Boy, do they let you sneak into classes every now and then? What is the secret to their training? "Say after me, if any I.T. product works just some of the time, that's a job well done, and if something randomly stops working, we call that the user's fault... And if they complain, we call them names."

I can't put some files in the Trash

Hello everyone,
Unfortunately, I'm having some trouble putting some files in the trash...
They say they're adobe dreamweaver files, but I've never installed dreamweaver - I was only flagged up about them when I tried to install dreamweaver, and was told that it was already installed and I needed to remove any files etc.
So I did a search for all adobe or dreamweaver files, and sure enough there they were. I consequently tracked to whack them all in the bin, but to no avail. The computer would say "this will permanently delete the file, are you sure?" - I would click yes, and it froze for a moment every time I tried and then popped up with this error message:
"Sorry, the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occurred
Error code -61"
Here's a screen grab:
http://img78.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture2cb3.png (the error message)
http://img213.imageshack.us/my.php?image=picture3sx0.png (the files in question are highlighted)
If anyone knows how I could delete these, that would be extremely helpful...
I've tried the get info, unlocking trick, and there's been no joy there - the read only options are faded out and not possible to change. I've also tried TrashIt, which was recommended, and didn't work...
Any ideas would be very kind, thanks...

I can't find my OSX disk
I don't really understand this (that disk shows up in the screenshot you uploaded of the Finder window resulting from your search), but I also think it's irrelevant.
I went back and read your original post, and I saw this: 'The computer would say "this will permanently delete the file, are you sure?"'. I've since seen another entry in this Topic List which indicates that you get such a message when your .Trash folder is gone. (Of course, there may be other reasons why you can get the message too.) If that's true, then you really need to fix it. One easy way to find out is, try creating an ordinary file in your home directory, and then drag it to the trash? Does that work? I suspect you'll get the same message about "this will permanently delete the file, are you sure". But if you say "yes", it should succeed in deleting it. But it does indicate that your .Trash folder is probably gone.
if I create a new account that is also an administrator, then bin them, are you sure this will work?
(I assume that by "bin them", you mean "drag them to the trash".) In fact, you can just create a new account that isn't an administrator (unlike what I said in my previous post). If that account drags the stuff to its trash, Finder will prompt it for the name of an administrator account (like, yours), and its password. If you provide it, then empty that account's trash, the stuff should go away just fine.
Incidentally, the Subject of the item I mentioned above is "Trash deletes any file without emptying".
If I'm right about your trash not working, and you want a way to "fix" it, you can get back. Or maybe make a new problem.

Suddenly I have problems moving files to the trash... get a dialog saying Finder wants to make changes and I must provide the password... Any explanation or ideas how I can get this to stop?

Please take these steps if you're prompted for a password when moving items in your home folder to the Trash.
1. Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
~/.Trash
2. Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open.
3. The dialog should show "You can read and write" in the Sharing & Permissions section. If that's not what it shows, click the padlock icon in the lower right corner of the window and enter your password when prompted. Use the plus- and minus-sign buttons to give yourself Read & Write access and "everyone" No Access. Delete any other entries in the access list.
4. In the General section, uncheck the box marked Locked if it's checked.
5. From the action menu (gear icon) at the bottom of the dialog, select Apply to enclosed items and confirm.
6. Close the Info window and test.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it (command-V). Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time.

I am trying to export the PDF file and conversion fails every time. File is too large of too complex. What do I do? One file is about 55 mb and the other is 58 mb.

Try extracting part of the file and see if the extracted part can be Exported. If so, repeat with the next set of pages. When done, try to load all into the first file.

Hi
The app Leopard Cache Cleaner has a command which will sort this out. Download from http://www.northernsoftworks.com/leopardcachecleaner.html
It's shareware but will work in demo mode for a long time - certainly long enough to sort out this problem.

Cannot move files to the trash bin

Hello,
I recently upgraded from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion and have since also changed the administrator on our MacBook Pro. My account (formerly the admin) can no longer move files to the trash bin. My wife's account (now admin) has no problem doing so. When I try dragging a file to the trash I get "Finder wants to make changes, type the administrator's name and password to allow this."
Not something I wan't to be doing every time. Please help.
Thanks,
the RouleauFamily

Thanks for your reply. The permissions looked fine.
Here is the fix I found at http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/trash.html which worked:
If the affected account is:
Then type the Terminal command:
Your Admin account:
sudo rm -ri ~/.Trash
Another user account:
sudo rm -ri /Users/user_name/.Trashwhere user_name is the short name of the affected account.
Warmly,
Olivier
