Pages/numbers/labels and pc

Really hope someone can help me with this query. I'm a new convert to mac from PC (windows xp). Any ideas how i can use my exsiting labels (saved in both .doc and .xls) in pages and numbers? also are you able to use something similar to mail merge on the mac?

s,
You can download iWork for a free trial. Mail Merge is different in iWork than in Office, not as well developed, some would say not as useful, but I find it quite suitable for conventional mail merge. If you are inventive or adventuresome you will have no problem using the various elements of iWork to make labels.

TS4213 Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?

Why can't iPhoto, Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iTunes Library files and Pages, Numbers, Keynote and iMovie access my iPhoto Library files now that I upgraded to '11?
Examples of what is going on:
1. In Pages, Numbers & Keynote, when I go to the media browser the Audio section reads "Open iTunes to populate this list" even after iTunes has been opened, .xml file has been replaced/repaired, etc AND Photo section reads "Open iPhoto to see photos from your iPhoto Library in this list" even after iPhoto Library has been replaced and new default library created.
2. In iMovie, similar thing ... when I go to add photos or music to a movie the iTunes files aren't present and the iPhoto photos are missing with similar messages as in #1.
3. In iPhoto, similar thing ... when I go to add music to a slideshow it says to "Open iTunes to populate this list".
It is shocking to me that Apple would let something as simple as a pathway link to associated library files get this messed up on an upgrade, but what's even more surprising is that with the number of people who seem to be having this particular issue (and I can tell from all the research that I've done for weeks online that there are a lot of them) that there doesn't seem to be a single clear answer to fixing it anywhere on these community support forums. Most of what I've seen is rehashed advice from outdated issues. What I need is a simple answer to how do we get these programs to look for the correct location of the photo and music files because I sure can't seem to find any logical place to do that through the programs' preferences files or the system preferences window?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
P.S. Here's the details on the software/hardware:
MacBook Pro
Mac OS X
Version 10.7.5
2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
iTunes 11.0.4 (4)
iPhoto '11 9.4.3 (720.91)
iMovie '11 9.0.9 (1795)
Keynote '09 5.3 (1170)
Pages '09 4.3 (1048)
Numbers '09 2.3 (554)

I have the same problem on a new MacBook Pro. I have not been able to access the iTunes library from iPhoto since I got this computer. I looked in the Preferences file and deleted the com.apple.iApps.plist but there was no com.apple.iApps.lockfile so I just deleted the iAPPs.plist and rebooted the computer. Still no iTunes available in iPhoto.
All my music is in iTunes and plays. After reading the above I brought up Pages and I was able to access music and insert a track into a document.
Do you have any suggestions.

I was just wondering if Pages, Numbers, iPhoto, and iMovie are really free for December 16, 2013

I was browsing through the top charts and I found Pages, Numbers, iMovie and iPhoto in the free section so i clicked the buttons with the prices and clicked buy because I thought they were free but I'm not sure now if they really are. Can someone please confirm that they are free?

Trouble loading Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Garage Band onto my new iPad Air

I received my iPad Air on Tuesday. Since then, I have been trying to load all the apps I had on my original iPad. So far, everything loaded quickly and successfully, except for my Pages, Numbers, Keynote, and Garage Band (which will be new to me). Over 36 hours of trying to get these much-used apps loaded, I am at a loss of what to do. I have tried rebooting the iPad, refreshing the load by touching the icon, deleting the app and trying to reload. Nothing is working. I appreciate any insight into getting my apps loaded.

Try this:
Go here to verify your device registration (you'll need to login using your Apple ID credentials):
https://supportprofile.apple.com/
You can view your registered device(s) here and if there are any you've missed registering, you can do that as well. You can also register new devices here. Afterwards, visit the App Store and your free apps should be available to you.
*IF* this does not work, continue as follows:
Log out of the iTunes Store on your device:
Settings>iTunes & App Store...tap your Apple ID, then select "Sign Out"
Reset your device:
Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
After the device has restarted, sign back in to the App Store as above. Try to download the apps again from the App Store.

Crashes with Photoshop CS5 and Pages, Numbers etc and OS 10.6.4

Has anyone found a solution to the crash that happens with using Photoshop CS5 and 10.6.4 Snow Leopard. I just bought a Macbook Pro --changed from a PC and have problems with CS5 and Pages, Numbers crash all the time. So far I am not impressed with the MAC

Thank you, Todd.
Actually, just found the answer here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/638307
I don't know why I didn't think of trashing the preferences, but it worked.
(For those looking for how to trash prefs, just go to Users/XXXYOUR_LOGIN_NAMEXXX/Library
/Preferences/Adobe/After Effects/10.0/ and delete the file there (or rename if you'd rather) AE will rebuild it on startup.)

Page numbering for a dissertation

Hi,
I would like to know how I can have some of my page numbers as roman numerals and some as normal numbers. I'm currently writing a post-graduate dissertation, and the first pages of the document will have to be numbered in roman numerals, and the rest of it as normal, i.e. 1,2,3. I have worked out that by using different sections you can start page numbering again from number 1 part way through the document, and I have found that by right-clicking over the page number I can change them to roman numerals, however, although it is easy enough to make the numbers start again from 1,2,3, as soon as I try to change the first pages into roman numerals ALL of the page numbers change, and where the section break is they start again but as i, ii, iii etc. How can I change this so that I can have some of my page numbers in roman numerals and some in normal numbers?
Thanks!
Jenny

What you're doing is correct. But you need to set the inspector to not use the previous headers & footers in the second section. That option is dimmed in this screenshot because I only have one section in the document.

How do you automate the point size of page numbers in a generated index?

In Framemaker 10 I have a generated index for a book. The indexed items are in point size 10 but the generated page numbers come out in 12 pt.
Can I automate the page number size to be 10 pt?
I have tried defining a character tag IndexPage Numbers and entered the following on the index Reference page:
Level1IX
<IndexPageNumbers><$pagenum>
Level2IX
<IndexPageNumbers><$pagenum>
but this does produce the desired point size.
Thanks

Error,
I was just generating an index today and had this weird behavior. The level1IX, level2IX, and level3IX entries formatted as expected (TNR, 11pt, plain) but the markers and page numbers displayed as 24pt, bold, Arial which matched the IndexIX format. What is that format for anyway? My user guide does not mention its purpose.
I looked at the reference page and there was a paragraph formatted as IndexIX with this content:
<$pagenum>
It was 24pt, arial, bold, and centered.
Another manual had an index that formatted properly last week but it too had the above <$pagenum> tag. So it's confusing as to the different behavior.
I reformatted the <$pagenum>/IndexIX paragraph to TNR, 11pt, plain (in the index file), regenerated the index, and now the page number formatting matches the entry formatting.
Again, is IndexIX the format for the index page numbers only and why does Frame insert <$pagenum> in the Index spec. on the reference page?
Yours,
Michael F.

Automatic page numbering not working in book files

Hi. Using CS3, I have successfully created a book in the past, where the dialog box of the book file shows consecutive page numbers for each file.
e.g file 1 1-4 (indicating 4 pages, starting on page 1)
file 2 5-22 (indicating 18 pages, starting on page 5) etc.
Files automatically renumber if I insert pages, etc.
This next book I am creating has two problems:
1. the book file dialog box shows
file a 1-4 (indicating 4 pages, starting on page 1)
file b 1-6 (indicates 6 pages - STARTS ON PAGE 5 AS IS IS SUPPOSED TO, in some cases - see problem 2).
I've followed the protocol below:
For the first document, I select "start page numbering at" and enter "1". For the rest of the files, I select the automatic page numbering radio button.
Why won't the dialog box reflect, for file b, pages being 5-11 as it is supposed to? This will get very confusing as the document gets larger.
2. I created a document by resaving an initial file as a new file in order to create additional documents, keeping the same master but changing content. Even with the automatic page numbering radio button selected, some of these files start on the wrong page (e.g. 5 when the file is supposed to start on 12), after I select Update Page and Section numbers from the book dialog drop-down. I can't figure out what may forcing an override of this page numbering and am looking for a pointer in the right direction...thank you,
Erin

I am having the same exact problem as Erin. The page numbers don't even get updated correctly on the documents within the book.
I'm using InDesign CS3 5.0.3 on Win XP.
For the first document in the book, "Start Page Numbering at:" is set to "1." "Chapter Number:" is set to 1.
For the second and third+ documents in the book, "Automatic Page Numbering" is selected, as is "Continue from Previous Document in the Book."
In the Book panel, all documents show page "1-x". When I open the second and third+ documents, the page numbers all start at page 2.
Any ideas? Please tell me this is a documented bug because it's driving me crazy.
Thanks.

MupdfPage: an add-on for mupdf for auto-loading/saving page numbers

I love MuPDF, but it doesn't store page number before you exit as other viewers do. I wrote a new header 'pdfpage.h' under the 'apps' directory and hacked 'pdfapps.c' a bit so that now it auto-saves and loads page numbers. The hack is based on a svn version, which keeps changing and makes patching hard, so I put my hacks in the README.txt.
The source can be retrived here: https://github.com/kaikaizi/mupdfPage/
To use, clone latest source:
git clone git://git.ghostscript.com/mupdf.git
drop 'pdfpage.h' into apps directory, and apply the 4 changes in 'pdfapps.c'.

Check out llpp and zathura. The former uses mupdf to render PDFs, the latter can (with a plugin). Both are very fast (llpp just FLIES), and have that auto-loading/saving page numbers. And, zathura has genious keybindings.
But cool project. Thanks.

Adding a 'background' to page numbering

Hi,
I have a large document which includes multiple PDFs that have been imported into the appendices.
I want to turn page numbering on so all the pages are numbered, which is easy enough of course.
The problem I have is that some of the pages (in the appendices) follow totally different formats or may have graphics and text where the page numbering is and therefore you are unable to see the page numbering on these pages.
Is it possible to format the page numbering in a way so that it always shows up - perhaps say a white box so it appears on top of other page elements?
Many thanks.
I'm using Acrobat XI.

A 'background' layer always drops to the bottom of the stack, hence the name.
A 'watermark' layer can be on top or beneath, but if it's on top and left editable it will be above the header/footer too, so you need to flatten it as got go:
Create your 'whiteout' boxes using the Watermark tool.
Open the Layers panel on the left sidebar in Acrobat.
Click the tools dropdown and choose Flatten Layers, agree to the warning
Now use the header/footer tool to add the page numbers on top

Best Pages/Numbers/Keynote PDF App?

I need a good app for an iPad that uses v7 for Pages, Numbers, Keynote and PDF files. I just copy from MBP and use to view the files not to do large amounts of editing. What is your recommendation?
I was using DocsToGo but it does not read Numbers in v7.
All comments are welcome.

Consecutive Page Numbering

This question may well have alread been addressed. If so just direct me to the rignt thread.
I have tried the Adobe on-line instructions and help re: page numbering. And I did a search on this forum, but did not find an answer.
I have a three volume work. Each book has several chapters. I want to link the page numbers between chapters within a single volume.
And I would like to link the page numbers between volumes. Thus, having a consecutive numbering from the first page of the first book to the last page of the last book. The reason is for indexing. In the index one only need to refer the reader to the page number, not volume and page number.
Thank you,
Lucca

InDesign can't create hierarchical books (books-within-books.) You'll need four books - one for each volume, and another for the comprehensive collection of component files whose index markers you want to collect into a single index.

Why is Acrobat labeling my page numbers incorrectly?

Whenever I open up Adobe Acrobat Pro X to convert a Word file to a PDF, it labels the page numbers incorrectly. For example, even though there are 8 pages it will say on the bottom right '1 out of 3 pages' or '7 out of 3 pages'. This also happens whenever I open the file in Word (2007) and click "save as --> PDF". The only time it gets the page numbers correct is when I open the file in Word, and click "Save As" and on the pop-up window I change the file type to PDF. The only problem with this is that most of the time I am trying to convert as many as 100 files at a time and this get can excruciatingly tedious after a while...please help and save me from a lot of clicking!
Let me know if you need anymore details...

I think you may find this happening if you print to paper from WORD also. As I recall, it was a bug in WORD and an update of WORD resolves the problem. However, it has been a long time since this has been reported and so I may have remembered wrong. It would not hurt to update Acrobat also. You did not mention the version number of either, or your OS, so I am just suggesting typical things.

Import Numbers spreadsheet and Print labels

I am looking for a way to do a bulk mailing / mail merge project WITHOUT using any Microsoft products. I know with Microsoft, I can create an Excel spreadsheet with columns for Company name, address and zip codes. Then I can export/import them into a Avery mailing label and print these labels out. I am going to have over 1000 addresses and certainly don’t want to ad all these to my contacts on the Mac side. I have Pages and Numbers, so I am looking for a way to do this without having to use anything by Microsoft. After all, this was my reason for leaving behind the PC world after 25 years. Also, it would be very helpful if there was a way to scan these addresses in and then import them somehow, some way so that I don’t have to manually enter all this information. Somebody, please help me. Thank you in advance.

Here are a couple of techniques posted previously.
This one uses an Applescript, available at the address shown in the message by Yvan Koenig.
See ElViejo1939's post in this thread for a technique using Mail merge to a Pages merge document, then collapsing that document into pages of labels.

Barry
