Picture Import - "Pages" freezes

Hey Dudes,
I'm a 18- years old student from Germany.
Yesterday i bought iWork 06 in order to layout the "Good-bye - Magazine" of my class (We'll have our A- levels next year).
I read the instructions,... ok.. let's say mostly.
I've been trying to create my own template for a few hours now.
After having the same problem a hundred times, I decided to ask you for help.
My problem.
Each an every time i import a picture via drag 'n drop "Pages" freezes after a fey seconds. Sometimes I have the time to change the size but then: boom, it happens again. That's very annoying and i can't go on like this! You see, there's just one page open and the application freezes because of the first picture I'd like to import in my document. That's unbelievable!
My Computer is definetly not too old for Pages!
I'm working on a iBook G4, 1,2GHz with 768MB RAM. That should be enough for running pages!
Does anyone have a hint or something- I don't know what to do. I tried it about 10 times- every time Pages freezes and I have to force it to quit!
Thank you for your help!
Greeting from snowy Germany!

Gerry- You are 'da man!
I was trying to describe the same thing in my post but you clarified it and added info I was not aware of.
Placeholders may be the answer to my frustration in my other post. I create music programs, the music changing all the time. With placeholders I could set all the parameters the way I want them and then just drag in the new clips. In addition, your idea for saving object preferences would also help this user. Since the post was rather long here is your answer to me copied out:
<hr>
Word wrap is not a preference for the Pages program. It is, however, a preference for each template.
Design the template you use for your projects. Within this template, set how you want the inserted graphics to behave for both styles of placed graphics. Fixed to Page and Moves with Text. Yes, you can save two different preferences.
With each graphic selected separately use Format - Advanced - Define default Shape Style.
Do this for placed images as well using Format - Advanced - Define default Shape Style, making sure you set it up for Fixed to Page and Moves with Text.
These are defaults for how graphics will behave in different formats. Save your project and the way you want things to behave as a separate template and whenever you open that template things will behave the way you expect them to.
I can hazard a guess as to why this was done. For some templates you will want images, shapes and other elements to behave in different ways. You may expect them to behave differently for other templates. This gives you more control as a designerr of templates as to how the graphics will behave.

I publish a 41mb InDesign newsletter monthly into interactive pdf. It always becomes a file size of 4mb, 10% of original, when I save to pdf. This month my newsletter is 41mb and it drops to 11mb, 25% of original. I have re-sized all pictures, deleted pages separately, have gotten the file size down to 16mb and it drops to 7mb, 45% of original.
I have gone back and saved Feb and March and it saves to 10% of original, as it did before, and I use the same mechanism to save now.
I have gone to Acrobat Pro and optimized down to 8.8mb, but the quality is not acceptable.
What other variable is there that I haven't discovered?

My daughter has had her Razr for about 9 months now. About two weeks ago she picked up her phone in the morning on her way to school when she noticed two cracks, both starting at the camera lens. One goes completely to the bottom and the other goes sharply to the side. She has never dropped it and me and my husband went over it with a fine tooth comb. We looked under a magnifying glass and could no find any reason for the glass to crack. Not one ding, scratch or bang. Our daughter really takes good care of her stuff, but we still wanted to make sure before we sent it in for repairs. Well we did and we got a reply from Motorola with a picture of the cracks saying this was customer abuse and that it is not covered under warranty. Even though they did not find any physical damage to back it up. Well I e-mailed them back and told them I did a little research and found pages of people having the same problems. Well I did not hear from them until I received a notice from Fed Ex that they were sending the phone back. NOT FIXED!!! I went to look up why and guess what there is no case open any more for the phone. It has been wiped clean. I put in the RMA # it comes back not found, I put in the ID #, the SN# and all comes back not found. Yet a day earlier all the info was there. I know there is a lot more people like me and all of you, but they just don't want to be bothered so they pay to have it fix, just to have it do it again. Unless they have found the problem and only fixing it on a customer pay only set up. I am furious and will not be recommending this phone to anyone. And to think I was considering this phone for my next up grade! NOT!!!!

What di I need on a Mac Mini to import Pages documents from an iPad-mini

What do I need on my MacMini to import Pages documents from an iPad-mini?

Plug in your iPad mini to the Mac mini. Open iTunes on the Mac. Select your iPad from the sidebar on the left. At the top, where it says "Summary," etc. choose Apps. Scroll down until you see a section for File Sharing. Find Pages. Select the document on the right. In the bottom right corner, select "Save to..." and choose where on your computer you want to save it.

I have continuously over the last 6 months struggled with syncing my iphone and ipod with itunes The app continually crashes during the picture import. AND by the way it takes 10-15 minutes before it even attempts to import photos. The screen says importing photoes but doesnt try to optimize or anything for 10 minutes. I have a 3gs with 16Gb so its not a cheap phone. I have 10Gb free. I have 6600 photoes. This is very frustrating and undermines my confidence in your products. My ipod is an ipod 4 with 16Gb also. It does the exact same thing to it. The last time, I had to import photoes a few at the time and with it taking 10-15 minutes each time for 6600 photos it is a long frustrating process. But it will import every photo a few at a time. The error message is just that itunes has stopped working. no hint as to why. AND of course, my phone is out of use for the entire time. You guys must not want to believe ur phones are a necessary tool...or maybe you dont want the consumer to believe it is. I have tried to find solutions on your website as well as through other 3rd party communities. Ultimately they were of no use. I stumbled onto my solution by accident since Im a bit of a computer geek...a semi-geek.

I have this issue too, I went into my Windows event viewer. (should have looked at this a year ago when this started)
it said this

basically whenever I try to sync my ipod touch 4G 64GB it crashes iTunes when it begins the pictures. if im lucky ill get 4-5 on there before it stops responding. its not my system or anything im running win7x64 8GB DDR3 ram (Corsair XMS3) AMD FX Eight core processor.
It is silly that iTunes cannot add pictures to apple devices. it shatters whatever incline I may have to buy apple products. knda like the Airport Extreem router my dad bought the new firmware, caused my router to not function... why release firmware that breaks a product. -_- <-- off topic but still

You use Image Capture (in your Applications Folder) for that job - or upgrade to a later iPhoto.

Pages freezing up

Hi,
I create documents in pages Layouts with many images. I have had on-going problems with the pages freezing up and not being able to manipulate images or move around the document. Ball starts spinning and application can not keep up with commands. I have been instructed to re-install my operating system twice now by apple (which allowed pages to work for a few weeks then back to same problem). I have been on the phone countless hours with techs taking me through various hopeful fixes. Still doesn't work. I have removed pages 09, and Apple sent me new Iworks 09 software. The problem is worse. DOES ANYONE HAVE ANY CLUE AS TO FIXING THIS PROBLEM?
Thanks!

Hi,
Thanks for the welcome!
The images I use are normally jpegs that I either copy/paste or drag into pages. the images are normally 1-2 mb in size.
Large numbers take up resources. Depending on compression method, 1-2mb could be large files. The final size needs to be 300dpi and no more.
Sometimes smaller. I usually just mask the images and I do use Alpha to take backgrounds out.
Alpha masked images will especially tax the system. Better to prepare images "deep etched" ie background removed in Photoshop or the like.
I add text boxes to the pages with limited text. Apple has said that Pages should be able to handle docs that have higher mbs and that I should not be having this issue. But I agree it has to do with the images. I am now breaking up and doing single pages but even then it is freezing up. It is odd but I find that the problems get gradually worse. I can create a page with images and manipulate it just fine and then 2 weeks later open the same page and nothing responds. Very frustrating. I am now told by apple that I need more RAM but the fact that I sent a 7 mb doc to a MACPRO user with much more power and she had the exact same issue makes me question that.
Thoughts? I am brain dead from this.

When i first open firefox homepage (opens with google) after 3 seconds page freezes and cannoct be closed. i have to open seconed homepage to shot pc down. this has only happened since i installed firfox 4. what do i do to fix this

when i first open firefox homepage (opens with google as set by firefox) after about 3 seconds the page freezes and cannot be closed or minimised. i have to open second homepage to shut pc down or continue to use pc. this has only happened since i installed firefox 4. what do i do to fix this

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back

I deleted a very important pages file from my iPad and I need it back pronto! I just updated my iPad without a computer and it had the file there. I need to know how to get back the file very quickly.
thx in advance

Thne unfortunately, your document is gone. You can restore lost or deleted documents from backups if you have backups - and as long as the backup contains the document - but if you did not copy the file to your computer - or backup the iPad, the document is gone.
You really should start backup up your iPad. You can sign up for a free 5GB iCloud account right on the iPad and then you can use iCloud for backing up. You can do it right on the iPad.

Pages Freezes On Scrolling

This on the Intel MacMini (2009)
When quickly scrolling through documents with more than a few pages, Pages simply freezes up. Scrolling halts and menu items become unresponsive. The only way to bring Pages back to life is to click on the desktop or another application's window and then click on the Pages window. This is extremely annoying.
However, this only seems to happen when another user is logged on via Fast User Switching.
This problem does not happen with Open Office, Neo Office or Text Edit when editing the very same documents.
Is Pages somehow not compatible with Fast User Switching?

I should add that when Pages freezes the system.log contains items like this:
Jul 8 08:21:33 Bleach /usr/sbin/spindump[1452]: process 716 is being monitored
Jul 8 08:21:57 Bleach /usr/sbin/spindump[1452]: process 716 is being no longer being monitored

Process #716 is Pages.

Final cut x import window freezes

Import from camera works, but FCP import window freezes. 6-core Mac Pro, plenty of RAM, fast drives, worked before.

mini DV--Actually the media DOES import into event, but the import window freezes until the import has completed. Shows a rough version (blocky) of the first frame, then the last frame after import is complete. LCD window on camera keeps rolling along. I've imported lots of footage, but have never seen this before.

Picture import not working in PSE 7/8 and windows 7

Hello
I just updated to win 7 (64 bit) and now I can't get the picture import from my camera working correctly with PSE7. When I plug it in windows ask me how I like to import them and I chose elements but nothing happens. I had no problem with this in Vista before. I have tried the trial version of PSE 8 but I have the same problem with that. The only way I can import my pictures is by starting organizer and select import from there.
Thanks for any help!

On 64-bit Vista and XP, you can't use the Adobe Photo Downloader with Windows Autoplay:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/402/kb402507.html
It's likely that 64-bit Windows 7 has the same restrictions. A workaround is to download Windows Live Photo Gallery and use its downloader, which is pretty good. Then in PSE, use File > Watch Folders to automatically import photos from the folder hierarchy where you're downloading the photos.

Unable to import pages

Hi all,
I login the studio by [email protected]/admin
however, I cannot import pages
Control Panel -> Admin Admin -> My Pages -> Export/Import
and it prompts
"You do not have the required permission"
anyone has idea?
Thx
BCHK

The import functions slightly differently than the export. You need to import the pages into a community explicitly.
So, do a Control Panel > Communities > Actions > Manage Pages > Import/Export (tab) > Import (Browse for your LAR file).
I did the above flow from memory so it might not be exactly right but should be enough to get you going. Let me know if not.

HT1694 My hotmail access disappeared from my iPad. When I go to settings and click 'mail, contacts, calendars' the page freezes. It doesn't allow me to the account setting. Anyone have suggestions?

My hotmail access disappeared from my iPad. When I go to settings and click 'mail, contacts, calendars' the page freezes. It doesn't allow me to the account setting. Anyone have suggestions?

Your Settings app is crashing. Sometimes, the only way to fix this is by restoring the iOS software but hopefully it will not come to that.
1. Quit the app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
2. Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.
