Pages no longer shares via mail

It seems or so it seems that after the last update to system 10.6.8 I can no longer share a pages document via Mail.
Selecting Pages, Word, or PDF makes no difference as nothing happens when selecting send via Mail under share.
This Pages 09 version 4.1
It will export
Anyone else seeing this problem?

I'm a bit puzzled.
I'm running Pages 4.1 under 10.6.8 and the export to mail feature behaves flawlessly.
On the left you may see a Pages document used for a test
In the middle you see the dedicated menu
and on the right is the mail created with the .doc file embedded.
Now, the problem is to find what is wrong in your system.
(1) try to run the app in an other user account.
Post here the results.
If it behaves well in this case, we will know that the problem is in your original account.
If it behave wrongly, we will know that the culprit is among the files shared by every accounts.
(2) try to boot the machine the clean way (without extensions).
I'm just a bit annoyed because I feel unable to explain the way to do that in English.
Here you will see the system's help page in the French version.
I hope that you will be able to find the English version.
I highlighted the scheme to apply.
If the app behave well after that, we will know that the culprit is one of the extensions available in your system.

  • Share via mail, Pages

    Hello, May pages wont share via mail. The option is there but when I click on it it just double flashes then nothing happens. It used to have a mail page pop up with the file chosen attached. Can anyone help. In the same bar there is a export option. This works.

    The Pages '09 v4.3 Share > Send via Mail feature is no longer operational in Yosemite 10.10.3. You will need to export in the file format that you want to attach to your email, and then drag/drop that exported document into Apple Mail. Additionally, the installation of Photos in 10.10.3 now disables any access to pictures from the Media tool, so images will need to be drag/dropped, or inserted in Pages '09 v4.3.
    Despite the above, Pages '09 v4.3 still has over 100+ features/functionality than Pages v5.5.3 on Yosemite. That means that if you open a Pages '09 document in Pages v5, what is not supported will either be mangled, or removed from the original document. And, the Pages v5 documents are not directly backwards compatible to Pages '09.
    Not much of a bargain updating to Pages v5, which is not even based on Pages '09 v4.3.

  • I opened my Pages document, choose Share but Mail is inactive.  How do I get Mail active?

    I opened my Pages document, choose Share, but Mail is inactive.  It used to be active, don't know what happened. How do I activate mail so I can send
    my Pages document via email?

    Prior to the current version, the share menu contained only the means of sharing (Mail, Export). Choosing one of these opened a sub menu containing the available formats for the item to be shared (eg. Pages, Word, PDF).
    For reasons unknown, Aple has revised the Share menu to show the means of sharing as a header (greyed) and the formats to use (Pages, Word, PDF) as menu items.
    Choose the format lsted under the header.

  • Problem sharing .pages documents as Word via Mail

    Hello All,
    I have recently begun using Pages on my MacBook Pro, but I am having an issue sharing my Pages documents through the program.
    I click Share>Send via Mail>Word , but when I do this, it only gives me a "frog" sound as if I am doing something wrong, but Mail will not open or attach the document.
    I have tried changing the document name, making sure there are no / or \ , but this has had no effect.
    Is there anything I could be doing wrong?
    Thanks for your time!

    Illegal characters are generally those Windows doesn't allow in file or folder names. There are also those UNIX doesn't allow. Just play it safe & use alphanumeric characters, spaces & hyphens.
    You can just export the file using File > Export or Share > Export & then attach that to a new Mail message. Probabaly easier than trying to figure out why e-mail via the Share menu doesn't work.

  • Share via Mail not working after Yosemite upgrade

    Hi all,
    I recently upgraded from Lion to Yosemite and now I cannot use the Send via Mail option in Pages (or Numbers for that matter).
    I searched for this already in another tread but the answer (permission repair) did not work. The Exporting option still works, although it wants to save the file in a strange location, namely LIBRARY - CACHES - CLEANUP AT STARTUP - COM.APPLE.IWORK.PAGES.8572.TEMP.XXXXXXX    instead in DOCUMENTS or DESKTOP.
    Any and all advice on this small but annoying inconvenience is welcome :-)
    Thanks
    Ray

    Pages '09 v4.3 has lost this capability on Yosemite. Export to desired document format, and then drag/drop into Mail body.

  • Create newsletter with Pages and send out via mail (not attachement)?

    I have a question: I have created a newsletter in Iworks Pages. How can I send this out via mail as a newsletter ? So not as an attachment? I know Microsoft Publisher can do it with 1 click, but I don't want to move to MSFT. Please let me know, I also have Indesign etc. Createion of the newsletter is easy with my Apple, but then it stops....and gets worse the MSFT....

    As far as I know, only single page PDFs will appear directly in the mail and they will do only in some mail applications.
    No it is multipage. Can't test for all appliactions but it was both sent and received on my system/Mail as the 3 pages in the document.
    In other apps and always if the PDF contain several pages, it will be an attachment : what was rejected by the OP.
    When Helena Rubenstein arrived in Australia she first worked in David Jones, our version of Harrods.
    A woman approached another salesperson and asked "Do you have a brown cashmere top?"
    To which the salesperson replied "Sorry no madam"
    Helena stepped in and asked "Would madam like a blue or black one instead?" and made the sale to the lady who wanted a top. It seemed that was more important than none at all.
    There is a lesson to be learnt from this.

  • Gmail no longer working via Mail in Mountain Lion

    Not sure what the problem is, but can only imagine ML is in some way involved.
    Gmail stopped working via mail (not immediately after upgrade to ML, but a few days later).
    First, kept asking for PW, which it decalred to be invalid. I tried restarting, to no avail. All was working fine via mail on iPad 2 and iPhone 4, plus no problem logging into web version of gmail.
    I decided to try deleting the whole gmail account on the MBP, closing mail, and restarting, but this has now resulted in me not being allowed to set up my gmail acocunt at all, since (via SysPref) I am told the gmail username/PW is invalid, so my MBP is now completely incapable of accessing any of the family of services from gmail (incl gCal etc.). But all remains aOK via iOS / gmail via web.
    Can anyone suggest a fix? I've looked around the various discussions and although some people say they are having need to try gamil tweaks now, with Mail, none of the solutions I saw seem to work for my case.
    I am using the correct gmail address (i.e. there's no conflice re @googlemail vs @gmail) - this seemed to have been a problem for some people, but not in this case.

  • Share via email with outlook

    Hi All, how do you change the share via mail / PDF to work with outlook for MAC.
    I have set Outlook to be my default email client but i want all my iwork apps to work with Outlook and not mail.
    Is there a way to change this or are we locked into Apples products ?
    Thanks

    You look in the apps User Guide.
    So you will learn that you may export the document in a PDF stored where you want then drag and drop the PDF in the email client which you choose.
    You are free to use a  M...oSoft product (you may replace the periods by "red") but there is absolutely no reason why Apple would offer a direct link between an iWork application and this foreign one.

  • Cannot share any docs in pages via mail

    It seems I'm not the only one with a similar problem. As of this lunchtime I can no longer share a doc in pages (via drop down menue, share, email, pdf for example). Mail is still the default programme; all other parameters are exactly as they were this morning.
    Is there a quicker way than exporting, that creates a new document and I really don't want to have most of my docs in pages AND word AND pdf, depending who I send them to. My Os is SL 10.6.8.
    How do I get the sharing function to work again? Any help greatly appreciated!

    In Yosemite, Pages '09 v4.3 has dropped functionality for the Share menu ▸ Send via Mail. You will need to export to disk, and then drag/drop into Mail.
    You should be running Pages v5.5.2 (current) on Yosemite. Otherwise, update from the App Store. Whether from the Share menu, or the Toolbar Share icon, I have not experienced Send a Copy ▸ Mail failing to export and attach documents to Mail.

  • I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached.  Now the email does not come up.  Why?

    I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on 'share' then 'send via mail' then on 'Word' and an email would appear with my word doc attached.  Now the email does not come up.  Why?

    It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
    If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:
    Pages
    When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.

  • After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up.  Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer.  Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??

    After syncing iPad Air with iTunes the Info Page no longer shows up.  Doesn't matter if I sync via wi-fi or try another computer.  Without the Info Page how do I sync my calander/contacts/mail ??

    I think there's a big ol' discussion in the Mavericks forum about this - some folks have suggested setting up your own CalDAV server so you can continue syncing without having to route things through iCloud.
    It may be simpler to go back to Mountain Lion or Lion (assuming you were on either of those). My syncing computer is on Lion and can't go higher so I didn't realize until recently that USB syncing over contacts & calendars was no longer available!

  • You know in Safari when you want to share a page via, Mail? Is there a way where I can change Mail to Microsoft Outlook?

    Exactly what I just described into the title. I would like to change the Share by Mail into "Share by Outlook".

    In Mail's General preferences you can change the default by selecting from the dropdown menu.

  • Pages won't share document via email

    Just an FYI: I just experienced the same problem with the Share feature in Pages that others, as long ago as 2011, were reporting: Pages won't initiate the Share via Email function if your document title has a slash (/) in the title. Replacing the / with a dash (or, apparently a space) solves the problem. I'm surprised Apple hasn't, yet, either corrected this issue or at least prominently reported which characters cannot be used in document titles, if you want to be able to use the Share via Email feature. (I should add that the Share via Export worked fine with the slash in the title.)

    Ok... so I'm an idiot: in Pages it works fine - I mistook the grayed out 'send via email' option for a normally clickable item, while it's just a header for the three (non-grayed-out) formats which you can send via email.
    The problem stands for Word for Mac though - I promise!
    thanks again
