Pages Update Bug
After updating Pages I cannot open old files stored on DropBox. When I try to open a DropBox file I receive a message saying I need a newer version of pages––which I already have! Any thoughts?
Sorry you are having that problem. Not seeing it here. You could try a computer restart.

View count AND thread update bug?
It's the end of the year, so that might be the reason of this oddity, but here is my problem:
I just posted a comment to this thread and returned to my profile page to just realize that somebody had already posted a comment. I went back to the thread and did not find anyhting new, so I went back to my profile...just to discover that a new post had just been added to the thread (and the view count had been incremented).
Long story made short, at each iteration of this procedure, the view count goes up by 1 and the thread keep appearing as updated, when it is not. I tried that on Chrome and IE8, same thing.
The interesting thing is that this does not happen for another thread (I just posted in this one too and repeated the above sequence and did not see the thread update bug happen, however, the view count increases each time I go back to the thread).
To me the thread activity being stuck IS a bug. The view count being incremented each time the original poster displays the thread is debatable. I guess strictly speaking it is the correct behavior and what would be an intersting additional information would be the number of VIEWERS...Hmm, I think I understood what is happening: for some reason, I must have failed to read ALL the posts in those threads (very likely in the case of the first one I mentioned, as it is 10 pages long, but I was under the impression I had followed the second one quite closely). I can only see that if I click on the "View All" link at the bottom of the panel showing my recent posts:
Then the list that shows up indicates the number of NEW posts. This is a misnomer in the sense that generally those posts can be be anterior to the one you posted, so there are not "new" rather just "unread". I may be mistaken, but in the case of the second thread I mentioned, I think that what I may have not checked out AGAIN is the response that was labeled as "answer" by the original poster (but I thought I did though). It is only when I went through all pages (without reading anything, of course) that the thread lost its "highlighted" status.
Anyhow, here it the suggestions I would have:
- introduce a new "unread" post column (in addition to the "new" one).
- offer an option to "mark thread/topic as read" (so that you don't have to go through 20+ pages of a thread to deactivate it)
Sorry for the misunderstanding. -
Pages update - Macbook won't recognize the update
Pages update - I updated Pages but the computer won't recognize it. Now I have documents I can't access because the computer says I must update. I have turned the computer on and off a few times and it hasn't helped.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened by newer Pages versions anywhere, is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

I have downloaded the latest pages update on my iPad, but my iMac still has Pages version 4.3, and I cannot find out how to update it on my desktop. When I try to send something from my iPad pages via email to be opened on my desktop in Pages, it won't open in Pages. I get a message that it can't be opened because the version is too old. I sent the document as a PDF and it worked. But I want to be able to use Pages back and forth. HOw do I update the Pages version on my desktop iMac?
The file format used by the iOS versions of the iWork apps can only be read by the new iWork apps on your Mac - i.e. Keynote 6, Pages 5 & Numbers 3. Those versions for the Mac require Mavericks, OS X 10.9. The "too old" error on a Mac comes if you are trying to open an iWork '08 or earlier file in the newest apps. If you do have the newest apps you can open the files from your iPad.
If you can't or don't want to upgrade to Mavericks & the newest iWork apps your best option would be to export/share the files from the iPad to a type an older version of iWork can read such as Word, text, Excel, etc.
Or contact AppleCare. They made this mess, let them fix it. -

Are you using Pages 5.2 on your Mac or Pages on your iPad, I ask because of your profile?

VB code for fitting graphics, deleting pages, updating TOC
Thanks again to all who helped me to find the object model info and other specifics I needed for completing my VB project. I'm not sure if this will be of any use to those who helped me, but at least I can "pay it forward".
The following code snippets are from my live project, with a bunch of ancillary code stripped away. I think I included everything needed for these three bits of functionality (fit graphics proportionally to frames, delete pages, update TOC), but if I accidentally left out something important, let me know (respond to this thread, as I'm not able to monitor all the threads). Note that in some cases, the code expects values in variables to be set outside of this code. I'll trust that anyone using this code can do that, and I've noted where this takes place.
My document uses only single pages, not facing-page spreads, so code referencing spreads works for me--but if you're using actual spreads, you may need to change the code to reference pages instead of spreads. Please bear in mind, I'm pretty new to ID, so if I misunderstood how pages and spreads (or anything else) work, please be kind. It's working for me, and hopefully will for others.
Be advised that deleting spreads (and possibly even fitting graphics) with LOCKED content (in the case of deleting, if ANYTHING on the page is locked) will cause InDesign to CRASH. If you have locked content on your pages, unlock it first either manually or through code (I have code for that as well, if anyone needs it).
The code for deleting spreads allows you to specify the spreads to delete by LABEL. I haven't figured out (anyone?) how to set labels through ID itself, but I was able to do it in code.
Lastly, please be advised that the forum may not properly indent or format the code. If it doesn't look pretty, it's not my doing. :)
VB Code follows:
Dim InDesign As Object
Dim InDesignDocument As Object
Dim LinkCt As Integer
Dim SpreadsCt As Integer
Dim PageLabel As String
Dim TOCStylesCt As Integer
Dim i As Integer
Dim p As Integer
'Create an InDesign object reference and open the InDesign
'document specified by DocumentFilespec. Note that if InDesign
'is and the selected document are already open, the in-memory
'copies will be used.
Set InDesign = CreateObject("Indesign.Application.CS3")
Set InDesignDocument = InDesign.Open(DocumentFilespec)
'Loop through all linked graphic frames and fill
'frame proportionally.
LinkCt = CInt(InDesignDocument.Links.Count)
For i = 1 To LinkCt
InDesignDocument.Links(i).Parent.Fit 1718185072
Next i
'This code deletes selected spreads (or pages if not using facing
'pages). It expects each spread to have a label, and it expects
'an array DeletePages to contain a list of the labels for pages
'to be deleted. DeletePagesCt is a count of the total number of
'items in the DeletePages array
For i = 1 To DeletePagesCt
SpreadsCt = InDesignDocument.Spreads.Count
For p = 1 To SpreadsCt
PageLabel = Trim(InDesignDocument.Spreads(p).Label)
If PageLabel <> "" And DeletePages(i) = PageLabel Then
InDesignDocument.Spreads(p).Delete
Exit For
End If
Next p
Next i
'This code updates the Table of Contents for a given TOC Style Name
'(ExpectedTOCStyleName).
TOCStylesCt = CInt(InDesignDocument.TOCStyles.Count)
For i = 1 To TOCStylesCt
If InDesignDocument.TOCStyles.Item(i) = ExpectedTOCStyleName Then
InDesignDocument.CreateTOC InDesignDocument.TOCStyles.Item(i), True
Exit For
End If
Next iIf I understand your question correctly that you want to know how to give an object in InDesign a Script Label (not using a script), then below is how (I needed to do it for the templates I'm using in the current project I'm doing using VBscript). Hope I was able to help some one else for a change. :-)

Yesterday this was automatically installed. Today I can't access a document in Pages. A prompt says I need a Pages update. But the next screen tests for updates and informs me everything is up to date. What's up?
It's highly unlikely that the Pages update problem has anything to do with the ARD client update, since the client is not involved in any way with Software Update. I'd suggest asking for assistance with the update problem in the forum appropriate for your version of Mac OS X.

Hi, App Store tells me I have installed the latest Pages update, yet it will not open Pages docs created on other machines that DO have the latest version . Any tips?
Hi
Pages 5.0 and 10.9.
While App Store tells me there is no update avalable to Pages, which it says was installed Nov. 4, its the old Avatar/logo thingo and, as I say, it will not open the Pages docs created on my MacBook, which definiitely does have the new Pages running smoothly.

I have many problems with my mail since I moved to mavericks. The filter is very sensitive, read mail appears as unread, I can't drag mail to the folders and more. I can't update the mail program as directed on this page, update says my system is updated
I don't think that a software update from Apple will solve the issues that you are having. You have a rogue installation. After you posted I have just done the following:
Disk Utility can verify my partitioned Volume (including my boot disk) AND REPAIR the non-boot disks on the same Volume without a glitch. It repairs the non-boot disks containing data smoothly.
I have used Mail to send some mails from some Yahoo and Hotmail accounts to my Thunderbird client containing GMail accounts - absolutely normal.
I have iLife '09 but my iMovie '09 and iPhoto '09 open in a jiffy and I see no issues here. I have 6GB RAM (Maximum) on an early 2008 Macbook Pro with a 750GB hard drive partitioned with 120GB reserved for the Boot Drive.
I am sorry that I cannot help further but I am sure there must be a way to reinstall the software without having to revert to restoring your ML backup. I have two clones and if you have such I would attempt to do that through that rather than through Time Machine - that is of course if you have a cloned drive.
Good luck! -
Window error when publishing Muse change, can't pubish page update
Window error when publishing Muse change, can't pubish page update. Any suggestions?
It happens after I updated my website payment page with a new Paypal html. That html is below with x's put in to the code. Why doesn't Muse or Windows like this code in Muse?

"No pages updated" error message with v11.1.2.1.x SmartView
All,
One of our users with v11.1.2.1.00 (build 271) of SmartView has a workbook with a number of worksheets set up to retrieve from a v9.3.x HFM application.
Upon connecting his workbook (note that the workbook in question has some external links which I chose NOT to update\refresh) to the v9.x HFM application in MS Excel 2003 SP3, the user selects Smart View > Data > Refresh All Worksheets and a error dialog box with the "No pages updated" message gets displayed. Upon clicking on the [OK] button on the error dialog box in question, SmartView still cycles through all worksheets in the workbook and refreshes them one at a time without any further error\warning\other messages.
In an attempt to narrow down what worksheet(s) cause(s) this error message, I have tried to refresh each worksheet individually (ie, cycling through each worksheet and selecting Smart View > Refresh against each of them) and they all worked fine.
As this message is appearing in an error dialog box, the user is reluctant to have his PC upgraded to v11.1.2.1.00 (Build 271) SmartView on the basis that there must be something wrong with the add-in, etc.
I have searched the Oracle KB and the SmartView forum for this error message but in vain.
I was wondering if anyone had encountered this error message and whether they had the opportunity to resolve it and how.
Thanks in advance,
JBMTry pressing the "esc" key when you get the error message.
If that doesn't work try trashing the preferences like this:-

Does the Pages update include linking text boxes?
Does the Pages update include linking text boxes? This was a great feature in the previous iWork: Pages version.

I agree. The latest version of Pages is marketed as a huge leap forward, and indeed it probably is...
How so? It has a new coat of paint, Apple sells it as "New" and everyone thinks it is an "improvement"?
How on earth can you not notice or ignore what is so obviously wrong with it?

ADF partial page updates fails after changing the JSESSIONID name
Hi All.
I'm using Human Task WorkFlow (11g, wls 10.3.4).
I changed session-descriptor to WORKLISTAPPSESSIONID of woklistapp application and my deployed TaskFlow.
After that ajax partial pages updates fails with java.lang.NullpointerExpcetion in the log.
I think ajax based code does not use session-descriptor element (in the weblogic.xml) to determine the session id cookie name.
And i cant find where and what i have to modify?
Guys, please, help.

I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done in the past year. I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages. I am running version 4.3. Do I have to purchase an update of Pages?
You are not on Mountain Lion anymore, right? You are on Mavericks and have downloaded Pages 5 and then created docuemnts in it which can't be opened in Pages 09.
No, you don't have to buy a newer Pages but you have to be particular about which version you use.
