Pages won't let me drop the cursor

I'm using Pages 5.5.2 on a Mid 2009 Macbook Pro with OS X Yosemite 10.10.2
I have created a document by cutting and pasting text out of a pdf. I then formatted the text, re-arranged paragraphs, etc. I have been working in the file for a week with no issues until today.
The first half of the document works as expected.
The second half of the document: I can't drop the cursor, select text, etc.
If I start with the cursor in the first half of the document and move it with the arrow keys into the second half, I can delete and add text.
I'm stumped.

The plot thickens: I have been editing with Track Changes enabled. When the markups are visible I am able to access those sections. When viewing the Final version, some of the section are no longer editable again (even though they used to be).
My suspicion is the software has a limited capacity to keep unaccepted changes unresolved.
This document is a specification for a building - 347 pages long, and I have 71 unaccepted changes in the first half of the document. I need to be able to never accept those changes, if possible.

    I purchased a copy of Elements 13 from amazon.ca and, when I try to activate the program, I get to the place where I'm to enter the code but the page won't let me enter the code.
    The code includes letters and numbers but the page only allows me to enter the numbers.
    What do I do?

    I dug all over the surfaces I could find and nothing... finally, I decided to cut the tapes at the bottom of the retail box... just a 'what the heck... this is stupid' kind of move and................. there it was on the bottom/hold the discs in place rectangle thing...
    Whoever thought of something like that?

  • Trying to print a document from Pages, when I go to print it won't let me select the document.  It is grey and I can't click it.  What should I do?

    I'm not clear on how you're trying to print. When you select Print from the file menu in Pages the current document is already selected. Perhaps you need to show the details in the print dialog. The first screenshot is from Mountain Lion the second from an earlier OS where you click the blue down-facing triangle button (sorry, I can't remember which one).

  • My Firefox won't let me browse the Internet, even though I'm connected to the Internet.

    Excuse me, but my Firefox 3.6 just randomly stopped working. It won't let me browse the Internet anymore-- the error message it always gives me is "Unable to connect", even though I'm fully connected to the Internet. Earlier I opened up Safari and Internet Explorer 9-- both, in which, let me browse the Internet, and I had a full connection. But, whenever I use Firefox now, it says "Unable to connect". And every time I type in a URL on it, Firefox gives me the ''SAME'' error message. I don't know what to do now. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox and it does the same thing. So now I am stuck with using Safari, when I really wanna use my Firefox. Why is it doing this?

    Make sure you are not set to Work Offline in File menu.
    There is a possibility that your connection dropped even briefly, more so if using wireless. Make sure Firefox is not set to "[v] Work Offline" in File menu just above Exit.
    By default, Firefox 3.5 and 3.6 will automatically use offline mode if there is no network connection. Under certain conditions, after the connection is reestablished it may remain in offline mode without the user's knowledge. Firefox 4 and newer prevents this behavior by default. To prevent this behavior in versions 3.5 and 3.6, add an entry to the '''about:config''' options, as follows.
    * Type '''about:config''' in Location (address) bar
    * Right-click on the about:config page to open the right-click context menu and use "New > Boolean" to create a new Boolean preference. Name: '''network.manage-offline-status'''. Value: '''false'''

  • I want to load Firefox on my computer at home, which is not connected to the internet. I want to download Firefox to my flashdrive and then add it to my computer at home. When I try to download Firefox, it won't let me change the path of where it download

    I want to download Firefox on a flashdrive so I can then download it to my home computer which is not connected to the internet. When I download Firefox, it won't let me change the path and so tries to download on a public computer, which isn't allowed. The reason I want it on my home computer is because I'm creating web pages and I want to view my html pages using a variety of browsers, including Firefox.

    From another computer, go to http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/, click "Free download" button, click "Save File" button, select your flash drive in "Save as" window. "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" file will be saved in your flash drive.
    You just need to insert it in your new computer and double-click on "Firefox Setup 3.6.13.exe" from Windows Explorer and follow instructions.

  • HT5312 So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    So I have a problem with iTunes not letting me download anything without first responding to some security questions which I don't remember setting up, how can fix it? Oh, and it won't let me reset the questions either!

    If you mean that you aren't getting the reset link, then from the page that you posted from :
    Note: The option to send an email to reset your security questions and answers will not be available if a rescue email address is not provided. You will need to contact iTunes Store support in order to do so. 
    You can contact iTunes Support in your country via this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down the HT5312 page that you posted from to add a rescue email address for potential future use

  • IDVD won't let me drop quicktime to burn

    I have used iDVD several times to make DVDs for clients, etc.
    It won't let me drop any quicktime videos in the content portion. When I choose to add media content, it puts an exclamation point next to time and says unlinked file.
    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I have 40 Gigs and dragged from an external onto my Desktop. I have moved them around from a few drives. I tried to link from original source and still no luck.
    I tried deleting the apple.plist file once too.
    I read something about needing to revert back to iDVD 7.02 or something.
    I can't figure out how to change the latest version to an older version, it talked about changing the contents and all that, but without a step by step, I was lost.
    See this below: I can't even find 7.0.2 online to download and then have no idea how to change all this information. Any suggestions?
    Apply the iDVD 7.0.3 update as usual (manual download).
    Download the iDVD 7.0.2 update.
    Mount the iDVD 7.0.2 update (iDVD_702.dmg), but don't open its installer package. Instead, open Terminal and copy the package archive to a temporary location: sudo cp "/Volumes/iDVD 7.0.2/iDVD_702.pkg/Contents/Archive.pax.gz" /tmp/iDVD702.pax.gz.
    Unzip the archive copy (sudo gunzip /tmp/iDVD702.pax.gz) to produce the iDVD702.pax archive in /tmp.
    Create a temporary folder and unarchive the pax file there:
    $ sudo mkdir /tmp/iDVD702-update
    $ cd /tmp/iDVD702-update
    $ sudo pax -r -p e -f /tmp/iDVD702.pax
    Now the iDVD 7.0.2 update pieces are in /tmp/iDVD702-update.
    Copy the iDVD 7.0.2 executable to its proper place:
    sudo ditto /tmp/iDVD702-update/Applications/iDVD.app/Contents/MacOS/iDVD /Applications/iDVD.app/Contents/MacOS/iDVD

  • Adobe Download Assistant won't let me accept the Terms and Conditions, freezes computer.

    I downloaded the Adobe Download Assistant today, and when the Terms and Conditions pops up, it won't let me click the Accept or Quit button. I'm trying to accept so I can download the trial of Photoshop CS6/CS6 Extended and the program freezes after the Terms and Conditions comes up. Therefore, I can't accept and move on to download.
    I tried going to the troubleshooting page for the program and it doesn't have anything relating to this problem.
    Thanks in advance!

    that would be a firewall setting so if your firewall is disabled, that setting is irrelevant.
    you could use a direct download of ps cs6, if you follow all 7 steps: http://prodesigntools.com/adobe-cs6-direct-download-links.html
    if you see a dl error page, you did not follow all 7 steps.
    you can also, uninstall adobe download assistant and try reinstalling.

  • Iphoto won't let me drop photos to photostream?

    In iPhoto I'm trying to drag a photo from one of my folders and drop it into photostream.  It won't let me.  Does anyone know why?  Do I need to drag it from my library folder?  (I'm not at my computer, this is why I'm asking, as I can't try it at this moment.)

    yes, photostream is enabled and I have seen it function properly.  What I'm trying to do is essentially the reverse.  I'm at work (without my imac) trying to talk my husband into dropping the photo I need into photostream from my macs iphoto, so I can access it with my ipad2 at work.  He is telling me it won't let it drop into the photostream folder....it just "falls off."  He was trying to drag it from one of my folders in iPhoto and not from the "photos" folder.  Wopuld this make a difference?  It would be simple to ask him to simply drag from my photos folder, but I cant imagine he would ever be able to find it (orignal photo,) to be able to try it.

  • Compressor 3.5 won't let me reduce the MPEG2 program file average bit rate

    Compressor 3.5 won't let me reduce the MPEG2 program file average bit rate less then 10Mbps. I just installed this new version and it is giving me this problem. I have been delivering an 1hr MPEG2 program streaming at 6Mbps average to 7.1Mbps Max output with Compressor 1 for a year now. Here is my workflow;
    Drop the 1440X1080 into NTSC timeline and DO NOT conform so it will be rendering as 720X480 then shoot that sequence to compressor to above settings. It worked just fine for a year. Now, this new compressor wont let me do less then 10Mbps which is the lowest bitrate for HD. The network can not run any bigger file than 6Mbps. I checked my settings restarted and all that. IS this a bug that needs to be fixed? Any help would be appreciated since my deadline is tomorrow.

    Sorry, meant to say that this only happens with court databases. As far as I can tell, I can download from other sites with no trouble.

  • My itunes playlists won't let me drop any songs into them.

    my itunes 9 playlists won't let me drop any songs into them. If I try to drag a song from my library and drop it, the playlist won't highlight. So strange. This just started happening. Any thoughts?

    When I go into Payment Method it says "Paypal is not supported on this device.  To manage or change your payment method, go to the iTune Store on your computer.  Then in "Red" it says "There's a billing problem with a previous purchase.  Please enter another payment method."  I have went into the iTune store and have changed my payment method and also called Paypal and my account has no problem. It still keeps getting this same message when I try to purchase an app.

  • Won't let me buy the SD of a show avail in HD

    my computer is too old for HD so I went to the page that said standard and added the episode of what I wanted in my cart. but when I went to buy, it said HD and was greyed out so I can't buy it. is there a way to block HD for my account so I can get just the SD since it won't let me buy the two version one with both hd and sd

    Not sure. I've been thinking to myself that iTunes should do more things with TV show content (if it can) such as a "complete the season" feature similar to "complete my album" and that HD should be something that can be enabled/disabled, same as iTunes Plus content. I remember when iTunes Plus came around, they offered the option to "upgrade" tracks that were eligible, and just pay the extra 30 cents. But the feedback I send online never seems to make it to the finished product, so... oh well. I suppose that's why I'm not a software engineer

  • I have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number

    i have the adobe cloud 9.99/ month photography package i downloaded lightroom 5.4, it told me it was a trial version, and i'm now at the end of the trial and it won't let me download the full version and i don't have a serial number. also, when i click buy, i get an error message saying, "application not found."

    There are two different LR’s, one with a serial-number licensing and one with a CC-signin license.
    You should uninstall the serial-number LR you have installed, then
    Quit the CC Desktop application,
    Restart the CC Desktop application—this will rescan what you have installed and not see LR,
    LR will now be on the CC Desktiop apps list, so install that.

  • I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?

    I currently have my credit card on my iTunes account and when I have no money in my bank account it won't let me download the free apps even though they don't cost anything. How do I stop this so I can download or remove my credit card?

    All downloads from iTunes are tied to the account that downloaded it, you can't re-download content via a different account. You checked the spam folder on yourr old account as well as the Inbox, and depending upon how long ago you did it, have you retried getting it reset : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password' ?
