Stop Pages version files cluttering up my folders?

Version files for Pages docs are saved to the same directory as my doc. Can I stop or hide or relocate these?
(I think they're version files!!! They're a copy of the last saved version with "~" appended to doc name. I'm not getting this with other apps that I've disabled autosave for.)
I'm running Mountain Lion.
I've disabled autosave for Pages with command "defaults write com.apple.iWork.Pages ApplePersistence -bool no"
"Ask me to keep changes when closing documents" in System Preferences/General is checked.
"Back up previous versions when saving" in Pages Preferences/General is unchecked.

Don't worry about them. Among the things iPhoto 6 does when it updates, is updates the content of the thumbnails to be more compatible with iPhoto 6. If you interrupted that process when it was doing it, it may leave behind temporary information that should not be deleted.

Pages Version 5.5.2 doesn't save in a single file.

With this version my pages files save as a bundle. According to what I've read, Apple supposedly fixed this issue and the default should be to save to a single file instead of a package. When I try to compress to a single file, compress selection is greyed out. I'm trying to upload pages files to the cloud and getting error message (file is partial) because files are bundled. Any advice is appreciated.

Pages v5.5.2 does by default, save new documents in single file format (compressed, renamed folders) format. If you open, change, and save a Package format document — it remains a Package format document. To make this a Single File format document, you must do the following:
File ▸ Advanced ▸ Change File Type ▸ Package
File ▸ Save

I created a file yesterday in Pages version 5.1. Today when I went to open the file a box popped up saying that I needed a newer version pf Pages to open the file. Any thoughts??

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Used to be able to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one and then it stopped and would only print the curent page. This is tedious for long PDF docs. I am on 10.6.8 .

Used to be ablert to print multiple page pdf files on my HP 7310 all in one printer and now I can only print the current page and therefore it takes forever printing them one by one. I am in version 10.6.8. Tried printing as image using the advanced click and that did not work either. I have Adobe 9.0 reader installed.

I tried this earlier, and I tried it again today. Both times it said "Software Missing!" and "HP Software required to connect to your printer over the network could not be found on this computer." But when I tried to install the software (AIO_CDB_Net_Full_Win_WW_130_141.exe, which I downloaded from HP's web site), it wouldn't install, as described above. In the diagnostic utility, I clicked "skip", and it said "Connection Verified!", and "The printer is connected to the network and the services related to the network connections have been verified and reset to a normal operating state. Everything appears to work fine at this point. Please doa test print to verify that the issue is resolved or click Skip to move to the next step." I clickedthe "Test Print" button, and immediately it popped up a box that said "Test Print Failed."
I tried again to install the HP software, and it installed, detected the printer, and asked me to select it. I selected the printer, clicked "next", and it did its network diagnostics. Then it said "Problem(s) found with your network" and "Problem(s) may exist with the network functions of your printer . . ." I continued the installation without connecting to the printer. Then I ran your network printer diagnostic tool again, and got the same result - "HP Software required to connect to youir printer over the network could not be found on this computer."

How can I stop the auto-saving of Pages version 4.1?

How can I stop the auto-saving of Pages version 4.1?

Why not just open your eyes !
Under 10.6.8, we had two menu items :
Save and Save As…
Now we have a single Save…
Since the first delivery of the macintosh,
a menu item whose name ends with ellipsis is one which always open a dialog.
Under 10.6.8 and older the Save button was used to save and already saved document without opening a dialog.
If the document was never saved, it behaved as the Save As… one.
With Lion the Save feature : save an already saved once document is no longer required as the system autosaved everything.
There was no reason to keep this aspect of the Save item.
Remaining tasks are those which were dedicated to the Save As… button.
The engineers choose to drop one op the now duplicating items.
The synthesis is the Save… item which clearly state what it is supposed to achieve.
Triggering it, we may :
change the name used to save
change the destination folder
export as .doc
export as Pages '08
Of course there is always the black triangle allowing us to use the stripped dialog or the full one.

How do I open Pages '08 files with the current version of Pages (5.5)?

I have a computer full of Pages '08 files. I just upgraded to Yosemite and purchased the new Pages. It looks great but Pages is telling me that it doesn't open Pages '08 files. Apparently it only opens it's own files and Pages '09 files. As far as I know, Pages '09 is no longer available. Am I stuck at a dead end? Is there no way for me to access any of my documents?!
Help!!!

You should still have Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder.
Open your files with that and Export to Word .doc/docx. Pages 5.5 can open those with probably considerable changes.
rogerfromnorfolk is right. Take a lesson from this as Apple will continue to screw over your work without regard for its affect on you or all the people who have to work with you.
Start looking for something else more secure and reliable, that means NOT from Apple.
LibreOffice [free] is very capable. There are also NisusWriter and Mellel with more alternatives on their way. Affinity Publisher from Serif should be launched next year and should maybe end any need to use Apple's btroken software.

How to restore Pages 4 files after opening in Pages 5

Here's a tip for those who have discovered the misery of Pages 5 and then wanted to go back to a Pages 4 compatible version of a file. If you simply go to Time Machine, you will find that the file no longer exists in back-ups previous to the date you first saved it in Pages 5. Evidently since Pages 5 files are not back-compatible with Pages 4, once a file has been converted to 5 format, the older versions in 4 no longer "exists". Don't panic, however, they are still there and can be found by manually (i.e. through the Finder) going to the back-up disk and digging around in a back-up folder from any date before you first saved in Pages 5. Once you've found the file, you can simply drag/drop to your current location on your computer, and then select "replace". Bingo! The file can be opened again with Pages 4.

Don't know. Never having trusted the cloud, I keep all my files locally. Maybe there is a version somewhere on your computer's disk? If so, and if you are using Time Machine, you should be able to find it in a back-up folder.

I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. with the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see the work?

I'm running Pages version 5.2 on a Desktop Mac version 10.9.2. With the Pages app open how do I use the Time Machine to go back five hours to see my page? Can I access Time Machine within an app like Pages? How do I enter Time Machine within the application? It always takes me to the Finder. I apolgise for the mumbo jumbo. I simply do not know how to use Time Machine. It makes sense when I follow the Tutorial but then I lose it.

OK. You've kind of skipped over the reason why you want to go back five hours, but my assumption would be that you've made changes to a Pages file that you want to revert.
There are two ways to tackle this. From Pages itself, open the current version of your document, and from the File menu, click Revert To, and Browse All Versions. You'll then be in the Time Machine interface for that file, and can browse back to the version you want.
Or, outside of Pages, you can select the file (or the folder it was originally in, if you've since deleted it) and enter Time Machine from the TM menu (it sounds like you've already tried this?)

Pages Version 4.1 won't open on ipad 2.1-HELP???

I am a pastor and have just completed my sermon for our FIRST CHURCH SERVICE SUNDAY...I have e-mailed the document from my MacBook Pro with Pages 4.1 to my ipad which latest version is 2.0.1 Freaking out right now, I see no way out, can anyone help me, PLEASE?!?!

I was unaware that Pages for iOS v2 doesn't open older Pages '09 files.
If you use iCloud it should convert the Pages '09 to Pages 5 which it does read but will unfortunately make it impossible to open on your Mac.
Have you tried eMailing it as a Word docx?

Ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages incompatible with icloud. If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad. Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad.

I have the original ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages 1.7.2 and backing up to icloud. If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad. Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad. Is there anyway stopping icloud from changing the version and is there a way to recover the old version of the document on my ipad?

Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.

My Wireless HP ENVY 4500 All-In-One Printer Has Stopped Printing PDF Files

I installed the subject wirelessly printer about 1 years ago. It works quite well with my iMac OS X10.9.1 desktop and my Win7 laptop PC. But, it recently stopped printing PDF files for no apparent reason, and I get no error messages.
It won't print PDFs from my browsers nor from Adobe Reader (11.0.07) ... but all other document file types print OK from my browsers and Reader.
The only thing that comes close to printing PDFs is that sometimes, when I try to print a PDF page or file from within Adobe Reader, it prints - on a single sheet - 6 tiny duplicate sections of what appears to be the upper right-hand quadrant only of the original PDF document.
Please note that I un-installed and re-installed the printer and its driver twice without success. Also, no amount of printer re-configuring of layout, size, etc. made a difference. I received some previous work-around advice about converting the PDFs to a Word document, and printing that. But this is just not convenient; and besides, the printer is suppose to print PDFs (PDF is my document of choice for basically all my collaborative work). I should also state that I received no help with this problem from the HP ENVY user group forum; so, I guess that means you may be my last resort. And finally, I don't know if this is relevant or not, but I upgraded my iMac from Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) to Mavericks (OS X 10.9) a few months ago - this upgrade was frought with all sorts of teething problems! - and I am now somewhat suspicious that something in the upgrade might have something to do with my current PDF problem.
Could someone please advise me on any Adobe Reader and/or printer re-configs, re-sets or other actions I should try?
Thanks

Correction to initial post: The 6 tiny sections incorrectly printed on a single sheet are actually from the bottom right-hand quadrant of the original PDF page - NOT the upper right-hand quadrant.

How can I stop pages from automatic reloading, I am aware of the option in advanced, but it does not work for pages like Yahoo News and Drudge Report.

I am trying to stop pages from being able to automatically reload. Sites such as Drudge Report and now Yahoo News anre reloading before I have a chance to read them and it confuses me due to a disability besides just being annoying. I have found the option in tools-advanced-accessibility and checked it but they still reload. And I did close Firefox and restart.
I am using version 3.6.8 Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.8) Gecko/20100722
Thanks

The Drudge Report site has a script to reload after 3 minutes:
var timer = setInterval("autoRefresh()", 1000 * 60 * 3);
function autoRefresh(){self.location.reload(true);}
The Yahoo page probably has something similar.
You can try NoScript to see if you can block that refresh.

How do I stop Pages from reformatting my existing documents?

If I open an existing document, created in Pages (pre-update version) it now reformats my documents with new fonts, inserts bullet point tables and generally takes a perfectly good document and makes a hash of it. Does anyone know how to go back to the old version of Pages or stop this version from ruining my documents & causing time wasting reformatting back to what I created? BTW this is on my iMac which is running the latest version of Maverick & the latest version of Pages. On my Macbook Pro whilst the system shows I did update Pages to version 5 it hasn't actually done that so I'm lucky I can still see my documents as I intended. Most of the documents involve recipes which have lists of ingredients & methods but DON'T NEED BULLETS!

In the Australian App Store it is within a whisker of "I hate it" reaching 70% of users.
"I hate it + don't like it" = 80%

Pages version is too old!

I want to open a pages document. It says my version for pages is 4. something. And it is too old to open document. When I go to the App store, it says it is already downloaded and purchased. I tried putting it in trash and then downloading it again and it does not give me the newer version. We paid for it recently.What can I do?

You now have two versions of Pages installed on your Mac. Both use the .pages document extension, and the document formats are incompatible.
Pages v5+ is in /Applications, and is the default application when you double-click a .pages documentDrag this application icon to your Dock and drop it there.
Pages ’09 v4+ is in /Applications/iWork ’09. It was put/left there by the Pages v5 installation processDrag this application icon to your Dock, adjacent to the Pages ’09 icon, and drop it.
If you open a Pages ’09 v4 document in Pages v5, it will be transformed into the new, .pages document format that is incompatible with the earlier Pages version. The same forced incompatibility occurs if you are using iCloud and share your documents with Pages v2.2.1 on IOS 7, or Pages for iCloud beta.
You should launch Pages ’09 v4+ and use its file chooser to select v4 documents. Also, if you close a Pages ’09 v4+ document, but the application remains running — double-clicking a document that was touched by Pages v5 — will cause the warning dialog about needing a newer version of Pages.
