Share via mail, Pages

Hello, May pages wont share via mail. The option is there but when I click on it it just double flashes then nothing happens. It used to have a mail page pop up with the file chosen attached. Can anyone help. In the same bar there is a export option. This works.

The Pages '09 v4.3 Share > Send via Mail feature is no longer operational in Yosemite 10.10.3. You will need to export in the file format that you want to attach to your email, and then drag/drop that exported document into Apple Mail. Additionally, the installation of Photos in 10.10.3 now disables any access to pictures from the Media tool, so images will need to be drag/dropped, or inserted in Pages '09 v4.3.
Despite the above, Pages '09 v4.3 still has over 100+ features/functionality than Pages v5.5.3 on Yosemite. That means that if you open a Pages '09 document in Pages v5, what is not supported will either be mangled, or removed from the original document. And, the Pages v5 documents are not directly backwards compatible to Pages '09.
Not much of a bargain updating to Pages v5, which is not even based on Pages '09 v4.3.

Pages no longer shares via mail

It seems or so it seems that after the last update to system 10.6.8 I can no longer share a pages document via Mail.
Selecting Pages, Word, or PDF makes no difference as nothing happens when selecting send via Mail under share.
This Pages 09 version 4.1
It will export
Anyone else seeing this problem?

I'm a bit puzzled.
I'm running Pages 4.1 under 10.6.8 and the export to mail feature behaves flawlessly.
On the left you may see a Pages document used for a test
In the middle you see the dedicated menu
and on the right is the mail created with the .doc file embedded.
Now, the problem is to find what is wrong in your system.
(1) try to run the app in an other user account.
Post here the results.
If it behaves well in this case, we will know that the problem is in your original account.
If it behave wrongly, we will know that the culprit is among the files shared by every accounts.
(2) try to boot the machine the clean way (without extensions).
I'm just a bit annoyed because I feel unable to explain the way to do that in English.
Here you will see the system's help page in the French version.
I hope that you will be able to find the English version.
I highlighted the scheme to apply.
If the app behave well after that, we will know that the culprit is one of the extensions available in your system.

Share via Mail not working after Yosemite upgrade

Hi all,
I recently upgraded from Lion to Yosemite and now I cannot use the Send via Mail option in Pages (or Numbers for that matter).
I searched for this already in another tread but the answer (permission repair) did not work. The Exporting option still works, although it wants to save the file in a strange location, namely LIBRARY - CACHES - CLEANUP AT STARTUP - COM.APPLE.IWORK.PAGES.8572.TEMP.XXXXXXX instead in DOCUMENTS or DESKTOP.
Any and all advice on this small but annoying inconvenience is welcome :-)
Thanks
Ray

Pages '09 v4.3 has lost this capability on Yosemite. Export to desired document format, and then drag/drop into Mail body.

I am not able to email a file from Adobe Reader. When I click to share the file, the option does not pop up to share (via Mail, Message, Air Drop, etc.).

I am not able to email a file from Adobe Reader. When I click the button to share a file, there is no option for route from which to share (Message, Mail, Air Drop, etc. does not pop up).

What version of Reader and OS X?

Share via email with outlook

Hi All, how do you change the share via mail / PDF to work with outlook for MAC.
I have set Outlook to be my default email client but i want all my iwork apps to work with Outlook and not mail.
Is there a way to change this or are we locked into Apples products ?
Thanks

You look in the apps User Guide.
So you will learn that you may export the document in a PDF stored where you want then drag and drop the PDF in the email client which you choose.
You are free to use a M...oSoft product (you may replace the periods by "red") but there is absolutely no reason why Apple would offer a direct link between an iWork application and this foreign one.

"send via mail"

When I want to "send via mail" pages no longer opens an email window. In fact, nothing happens at all, why is this?

There is nothing to fix.
Slash is an illegal character in file names since the delivery of mac OS X.
What was a bug is the fact that 10.1 thru 10.6 took care of your wrong names.
At last, the late OS behave as It would have ever done.

I want to email a Pages document as a Word doc. I used to be able to do this by clicking on share then send via mail then on Word and an email would appear with my word doc attached. Now the email does not come up. Why?

It's difficult to do more than guess when you don't say what version of OS X or Pages you're running, but if you're on the latest, have you tried the Share menu -> Send via Mail command?
If that doesn't help, you may have better luck if you ask in the Pages forum:

When you repost, be sure to include full details about your versions so that people know what it is you're working with.

Cannot share any docs in pages via mail

It seems I'm not the only one with a similar problem. As of this lunchtime I can no longer share a doc in pages (via drop down menue, share, email, pdf for example). Mail is still the default programme; all other parameters are exactly as they were this morning.
Is there a quicker way than exporting, that creates a new document and I really don't want to have most of my docs in pages AND word AND pdf, depending who I send them to. My Os is SL 10.6.8.
How do I get the sharing function to work again? Any help greatly appreciated!

In Yosemite, Pages '09 v4.3 has dropped functionality for the Share menu ▸ Send via Mail. You will need to export to disk, and then drag/drop into Mail.
You should be running Pages v5.5.2 (current) on Yosemite. Otherwise, update from the App Store. Whether from the Share menu, or the Toolbar Share icon, I have not experienced Send a Copy ▸ Mail failing to export and attach documents to Mail.

You know in Safari when you want to share a page via, Mail? Is there a way where I can change Mail to Microsoft Outlook?

Exactly what I just described into the title. I would like to change the Share by Mail into "Share by Outlook".

In Mail's General preferences you can change the default by selecting from the dropdown menu.

Problem sharing .pages documents as Word via Mail

Hello All,
I have recently begun using Pages on my MacBook Pro, but I am having an issue sharing my Pages documents through the program.
I click Share>Send via Mail>Word , but when I do this, it only gives me a "frog" sound as if I am doing something wrong, but Mail will not open or attach the document.
I have tried changing the document name, making sure there are no / or \ , but this has had no effect.
Is there anything I could be doing wrong?
Thanks for your time!

Illegal characters are generally those Windows doesn't allow in file or folder names. There are also those UNIX doesn't allow. Just play it safe & use alphanumeric characters, spaces & hyphens.
You can just export the file using File > Export or Share > Export & then attach that to a new Mail message. Probabaly easier than trying to figure out why e-mail via the Share menu doesn't work.

I opened my Pages document, choose Share but Mail is inactive. How do I get Mail active?

I opened my Pages document, choose Share, but Mail is inactive. It used to be active, don't know what happened. How do I activate mail so I can send
my Pages document via email?

Prior to the current version, the share menu contained only the means of sharing (Mail, Export). Choosing one of these opened a sub menu containing the available formats for the item to be shared (eg. Pages, Word, PDF).
For reasons unknown, Aple has revised the Share menu to show the means of sharing as a header (greyed) and the formats to use (Pages, Word, PDF) as menu items.
Choose the format lsted under the header.

Pages document will not share via email

After completing a document in Pages and then want to email it, I click Share via email and then Word. Nothing happens. Not even an error message.
Any ideas about why?

When you attempt to send an IOS Pages v1.7+ (older Pages ’09 format) document via gmail, it arrives with the file extension .pages, and if Pages v5 is installed, the attached document acquires the new icon style.
Within Apple Mail, you can hover over the horizontal line and with selection of the paperclip icon, you can open the .pages attachment with Quick Look. Again, if you have Pages v5 installed, the Open with Pages button in Quick Look will use that as a default version with the following cautionary dialog. If you press and hold on that Quick Look Open button, it will appear as the Finder's open with menu and you can choose to open in Pages v4.3.
When you originate the .pages document from IOS Pages v2+ (new format compatible with Pages v5 on OS X), and choose to send it via Gmail (or iCloud), it will arrive as filename.pages.zip. This is a compressed file format that Pages v5 cannot access without first uncompressing it.
If you revisit the original second paragraph above, Quick Look will show you a large compressed icon dialog. However, there is an uncompress button in the upper right that will open a new Finder window with the original .pages and .zip files within it. You can then select the .pages document and click Open with Pages. By default, this document will open in Pages v5 if installed, or fail in Pages v4.3 with the following warning dialog because of a document format mismatch. Anything Pages v5 opens is poisoned for subsequent Pages ’09 v4.3 access, unless first exported as Pages ’09 from within Pages v5.
And intuitively, it is pointless to send a .pages document via email to anyone without the proper version of Pages installed.

HT1277 My Mail page no longer receives or sends mail. This happens on occasion and then returns. This never happens to my husbands page with whom I share the computer.

I have a MacOSX version 10.7.4.
My Mail page for no reason decides to not send or receive my emails. I have two email addresses and for no reason they just stop and I am forced to go to my aol page on Safari. Then after a month or so they appear back on my Mail page.
Nothing seems to cause. I can just open my page and there is a z beside the address.
I have tried to fix it by reconfiguring my email account, but it does not accept it.
Thanks for any help

Hello,
In Mail's Window Menu, choose Connection Doctor, any red dots for status, if so what is the exact message?
Then click the Show Details button & Check again.

Create newsletter with Pages and send out via mail (not attachement)?

I have a question: I have created a newsletter in Iworks Pages. How can I send this out via mail as a newsletter ? So not as an attachment? I know Microsoft Publisher can do it with 1 click, but I don't want to move to MSFT. Please let me know, I also have Indesign etc. Createion of the newsletter is easy with my Apple, but then it stops....and gets worse the MSFT....

As far as I know, only single page PDFs will appear directly in the mail and they will do only in some mail applications.
No it is multipage. Can't test for all appliactions but it was both sent and received on my system/Mail as the 3 pages in the document.
In other apps and always if the PDF contain several pages, it will be an attachment : what was rejected by the OP.
When Helena Rubenstein arrived in Australia she first worked in David Jones, our version of Harrods.
A woman approached another salesperson and asked "Do you have a brown cashmere top?"
To which the salesperson replied "Sorry no madam"
Helena stepped in and asked "Would madam like a blue or black one instead?" and made the sale to the lady who wanted a top. It seemed that was more important than none at all.
There is a lesson to be learnt from this.

How do I include keywords when I "share" iPhotos via MAIL?

How do I include keywords when I "share" iPhotos via MAIL?
When I send the images, it doesn't include the keywords, which I use as a description. But when I email them via "Share" in the menu bar - none of the keywords come through in the email. I looked for a preference or something that will allow sending keywords, but don't see anything like that.
Sometimes, you WANT the keywords to be included in the email (to be used as a description) but I cant
I'm betting one of you gurus will know the answer! Latest versions of everything!

Hi Terence,
Thank you for your answer. My first thought was, "great - I've tried dragging them to my desktop, but the keywords do't 'drag' with the picture." So you're suggestion to 'export' and selectinh the appropriate boxes would solve the issue.
But it doesn't seem to!
In iPhoto, under the photo I'm seeing the file number and the keywords under that. Good!
But when I export as yu've suggested . . . still NO keywords (which I use as a title). Now, to your credit, if I "Command + i" the jpg image, I will see the keywords . . . but I'm looking to see the keywords under the picture in the email - just like it looks in iPhoto?
Am I doing something wrong? Thanks very much.
Larry
