Really having problems with organising documents in pages. For example, deleting pages deletes the whole section and I cannot insert a section break as its greyed out & sending an object to background deletes several pages and trying to insert a text box autmatically creates new pages- what the **** is going on??? Is this programme really this badly thought out? I thought everything apple was supposed to be intuitive!?!?!? Help.
You can not insert a section break into a textbox.
You appear to have a lot of objects with wrap set, that once you take them out of the flow of text (by sending them to the background) causes the text to reflow and contract into fewer pages. Pages is almost unique in the way it forms up pages in Word Processing mode only so long as there is text on them.
I suspect you probably have hammered away at returns, spaces and tabs as well to position things, which only works to add to the mess.
Download the Pages09_UserGuide.pdf available under the Help menu and swot up a bit on how it works.
You may find this a usueful resource as well:

PS There is quite a lot of programming in OSX that is far from "intuitive". Pages is easy at one level, when using the templates, otherwise it can be quite frustrating.

Still having problem with PDF document video - Text Blurred on Scaling Down
Need to scale down a captured PDF document video (.mp4). but text become blurry after scale down. Any suggestions to keep the text clear and readable ?
Those two things are not the same shape. If what I am about to say is too basic, please forgive me. It might help someone else later.
The ratio of your captured image (1434 x 958) is calculated as:
1434 / 958 = 1.496868475991649
The ratio of your export is calculated as:
640 / 480 = 1.333333333333333
Just get the representation of them into one document, I created a Photoshop file big enough to hold them both. Then I scaled it down and took a screen shot to fit this forum's restrictions on file size.
If you look at the first image, it is difficult to see that they are different shapes.
In order to make them easier to see, I scaled down the larger layer, using the Shift key to ensure that the scale is perfectly proportional.
Now you can easily tell that the ratio of 1434x958 is much wider than the ratio of 640 X 480.
That means that you are changing the shape of the image when you export.
If you are concerned about the long edge, you could divide 640 by 1.496868475991649 and export the image at 640X428 and get closer. It is not optimum, but should look better. Optimum would have been to size your PDF to where the longer edge was evenly divisible by 16. But, too late for that.
Another choice would be to edit the video in a 640X480 sequence, and scale the PDF video down to fit that sequence - leaving a letterbox look (black bars on top and bottom). That might help the image stay sharp. Then export to 640X480 from there. -
Having problems with my Microsoft Word 2011 for macbook
Hello,
Every time I open up the Microsoft work 2011 on my macbook this error message keeps showing up.
"The Open XML file Normal.dotm cannot be opened because there are problems with the contents of file name might contain invalid characters (for example, \ /)."
And then right below it, it says: Details: No error detail available
So now my questions is why is it doing that? And can you please help me and tell me step by step on what I need to do.
Also is their a refresh button for Microsoft Word for a macbook?You would be better served if you asked questions about Word for the Mac on a different forum:
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/mac/forum/macword
This forum is for PC based IT users and not too many PC users are familiar with the Mac. I happen to be one that is however.
George Summers has already suggested renaming your Normal template, but first I think you should remove any prior version of Office for the Mac (if there is one) that is on this machine. There are ways to have multiple versions of Office on the same machine,
but if you don't really need the prior version you should remove it.
Create a new user id on the machine and open Word from it. Hopefully you don't get the same error message. Then go to Word > Help and run the Check for Updates function until it tells you that your software is fully updated. Finish up by running the Disk
Utility app located in Applications/Utilities and Repair Permissions on your Primary Drive, which is usually Macintosh HD. Then restart your system.
Login under your user id and before starting anything use Finder>Go>Go to folder... and paste this string into the text box.
~/Library/Application Support/Microsoft/Office/User Templates and in there should be the Normal.dotm template. If it is not there look for it as George as pointed out from Word>Preferences>File Locations and remove it. It should be in
the User Templates folder and if it is in a different location this can be causing the problem, which can be fixed but for now, your objective should be to get Word running as Microsoft had expected to run.
When you are done with this, post your update on the Answers forum that I shared with you and mark this thread as closed.

When I click on "open entire inbox" the font seems to get very large briefly,then it returns to the normal size.I can't see my whole inbox or open anything!
When using Preferences to change the email to Xfinity Lite you loose certain valuable features available in the full verfsiion. This may work for some but I enjoy attaching photos in some emails and having them show in he message boz along with a message. It's a shame that two multi-national companys can't get their act straight. Comcast blames Firefox, Firefox blames Concast. In the meantime users are forced to use Internet Explorer. I hate this kind of stupidity. Millions of consumers are inconvenienced. I suspect that Microsoft and Comcast are schemeing in this matter.

WHEN I CLICK ON MY FIREFOX ICON....I GET THIS LITTLE 1"X 1" BOX THAT LOOKS LIKE IT'S BRINGING UP THE PAGE, BUT IT DOESN'T GET ANY BIGGER THAN THAT LITTLE 1" BOX............HELP
It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

Hello,
The last really supported Flash for PPC was 10.1.102.64, but if it's for like Facebook or such, people have been fooling FB to think they have a leter version installed.

Might be later ones around also... saw 11.3 I think.
(If you are running a PPC Mac with Flash Player 10.1.102.64 and are having problems with watching videos on FaceBook or other sites, contributor Texas Mac Man suggests the following solution which fools the site into thinking that you are running the latest version:)
Download this http://www.steelbin.com/FPforFBPPC.zip to your desktop, unzip it, and replace the current Flash Player plug-in which is in your main/Library/Internet Plug-Ins folder, (not the user Library). Save the old one just in case this one doesn't work.
You should also consider the Shockwave Player, which displays Web content that has been created by Adobe Director, much used for multimedia: For PPC Macs: http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/

I am having problems with the Preview application. When I try to use it to open a pdf document it gets hung-up and I have to select force quit to close it. Any ideas on how to resolve this problem? Thanks for any help
Can you open the Preview program without loading a file, like by itself?
If it doesn't load then I suspect a corrupt Preview preference file.
Deleting the System Preference or other .plist file
Can you open other files with Preview, like jpg's and images?
How about other PDFs? or is it just that one you have downloaded?

I restarted my phone and now I am having problems with it. It will turn on but only goes to the black screen with the droid eye before shutting off again and trying to restart, what can I do to fix that?
I'm sorry to learn that your phone is having problems starting up, marinema08. I'm sorry if this is incorrect, but are you using the original HTC Droid Incredible or a later Droid Incredible model? Please try placing your phone in Safe Mode to see if you are able to move past the Droid eye. http://vz.to/1kdQWVI If you are able to enable Safe Mode, please try deleting any recent applications you have added.

I'm having problems with excessive email usage on my iphone 4/ios 7. Just noticed that it (settings/usage) was using 900+ mb. I deleted all my mail, deleted the mail account, turned the phone off and back on, downloaded any remaining mail on the server to Outlook on my computer, and it still says it's using 661 mb. My ipad uses a fraction of that.
Background: I recently (December) bought an ipad and set up icloud for contacts and calendar, but NOT mail. My email provider is Verizon. I use computer, iphone, and ipad to check my email; eventually I download it from the server using Outlook on the computer and then delete any remaining emails from the phone and ipad. I can't find info on this problem anywhere.Howdy there COUGAR444,
It sounds like your iPad all of a sudden seems to be restarting out of no where. If you haven't called AppleCare yet, I would start with quitting either the app that seems to be causing the issue, or all the apps if a single doesn't seem to be the culprit.
iOS: Force an app to close
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
If the issue persists, backup your device to iTunes, then restore it as new and verify that it works.
How to erase your iOS device and then set it up as a new device or restore it from backups
If it does, then restore your backup to either verify it still works and the software just needed reinstalled, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Regards,
