Synching problems with pages and numbers

After an initial problem with synching which was resolved with Yosemite Pages and Numbers have been synching across all my devices for a couple of weeks and now all of a sudden they have stopped again!! They synch across my phones and iPad but not to my macbook pro!! Very very annoying! How do I resolve it?

Found a solution, but it is odd:
On the 2008 Mac Pro, I UNCHECK the boxes beside Pages and Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options. Now Pages and Numbers will properly save edited documents to the appropriate folders on iCloud Drive.
Go figure ...
Hope that this helps someone else.

Problems with Pages and Numbers using iCloud Drive on early 2008 MacPro, Yosemite

One of my computers, an early 2008 MacPro running Yosemite, will NOT save Pages or Numbers documents to iCloud Drive from within those applications. I see the little iCloud Drive error badge next to the file name in Finder after I try to save. However, on the SAME computer I can save Pages and Numbers documents to a local drive (e.g., to my Desktop) and then use the Finder to drag the documents to iCloud Drive successfully. Another computer, a MacBook Pro running Yosemite, has no problems using iCloud Drive to create, edit and then save Pages and Numbers documents stored on iCloud Drive. I have tried "turning off" iCloud Drive for Pages and Numbers in System Preferences on the Mac Pro and then turning it back on to no effect. I have also logged out of iCloud Drive on all of my devices (which include two iOS devices) and then logging back in to ensure that I'm using the same login id on all devices, again with no apparent change.
Any suggestions for my next steps in attempting to solve this issue? Is there any way to get more information about precisely what type of error is occurring? Hovering over the badge only shows "Error".
Thanks in advance.

Application problems with pages and numbers after Yosemite install

Since upgrading to Yosemite and updating my applications, I have problems opening some documents in Pages and Numbers and get a message
You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.
I also have 2 icons for Pages? The old icon and the new?
When an upgrade occurs doesn't the old version normally get "absorbed" by the new version?
What do I need to do to resolve this?

There are other problems in Pages and Keynote and Numbers. When you use the Share tool, and choose Open In Another App...... no apps are listed except for iTunes U. This is an error, as there are several apps available on the ipad that open Pages. Also, in the Share tool, if I select Send a Copy, the email option is not available. We have checked with app developers who say they their most recent app version addresses this issue, but it doesn't.
We have tried to erase and reset the ipad, put everything back, and the problem still exists.

Haven't been able to use pages for a while. Keep getting following message. Have tried reinstalling iWork, but no luck. Same problems with Keynote and Numbers/Users/scottmcdonald/Desktop/Screen Shot 2012-03-14 at 9.39.52 PM.png

Have you moved Pages from its installed location? Or just dragged a copy to your current system?
It can't find some of its resources apparently.

I purchased a IPad Air with Pages and Numbers included. I was told I could use these apps on my mac book and other devices. How do I sync or access these from my mac.

I purchased a IPad Air with Pages and Numbers included. I was told I could use these apps on my other devices like my MacBook. How do I sync or add these to my macBook?

the free apps are only for ios device (iphone ipad ipod touch) and do not work on mac computers. if you do get pages and numbers on your mac though you can sync the information using icloud

Can i safely trash Iwork '08 since i have already Installed Iwork '11 or will i loose my documents made with pages and numbers '08???

can i safely trash Iwork '08 since i have already Installed Iwork '11 or will i loose my documents made with pages and numbers '08???

You can have multiple versions installed simultaneously. It won't hurt to delete the '08 apps, because the '09 apps will convert '08 to '09, but there is no reason to do the deletion.
You say that you have iWork '11. If that's true, it's really big news. More likely, you have iWork '09.

Does digital vga cable link from ipad2 to external monitor work with pages and numbers

Are you able toutilize pages and numbers on an external monitor with and ipad2 by utilizing a digital VGA cable

Hi ederg:
You may want to download/update: Monitor file for Windows 7 (Thinkpad)
The reason I say that is because the readme it states, "If you use the preload environment, you do not need this package. This package is required when you install Windows OS without the preload image."
Since you setup the Thinkpad with Windows 7 Pro CD and no longer have the preload image, this may fix the problem.
Also, have you checked the website for the displayport manufacturer? They may have updated drivers there that wouldn't have been on the update tool you used.
*Edit* You can also check the: External monitors issues section here. It goes over some basic troubleshooting you may want to try first (I just came across it now)
Let us know how it turns out!

Problems with page and event paramters in java portlets

Hi there!
Following the documentation in "A primer on Portlet Parameters and events" and "Adding Parameters an Events to Portlets" I tried to develop two portlets (who will be at the same page), one showing some content of a repository (with possibilities to browse throw it) and another showing a sitemap of the repositories whole content, presenting links to the content's pages to be shown in the content portlet.
So I added:
1. a page parameter called pageMenuID to identify the current content page to be shown in the content portlet
2. an input parameter for content portlet called portletMenuID. This input parameter is mapped to the page parameter pageMenuID
3. an event for content portlet called changeContent with output parameter contentMenuID. When this event rises, "go to page" is set to the current page and the output parameter contentMenuID is mapped to the page parameter pageMenuID.
4. an event for sitemap portlet called changeContentFromSitemap with output parameter sitemapMenuID. When this event rises, "go to page" is set to the current page and the output parameter sitemapMenuID is mapped to the page parameter pageMenuID.
This is the code for some constants and a function to build the links in the content portlet, that I want to use:
// page parameter (shouldn't be used here)
private final static String pageParamMenuID = "pageMenuID";
// parameter names as given in providers.xml:
// portlet input parameter
private final static String inputParamMenuID = "portletMenuID";
// event name
private final static String eventName = EventUtils.eventName("changeContent");
// parameter name for event parameters
private final static String eventParamMenuID = EventUtils.eventParameter("contentMenuID");
String getEventUrl( PortletRenderRequest portletRequest, long menuID) {
NameValuePair[] eventParams = new NameValuePair[2];
eventParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventName,"");
eventParams[1] = new NameValuePair(eventParamMenuID, "" + menuID);
try {
return PortletRendererUtil.constructLink(portletRequest, portletRequest.getRenderContext().getEventURL(),
eventParams,
true,
true);
} catch (Exception e) {
return "null";
This is the analog code from the sitemap portlet:
// page parameter defined on "edit page mode" (shouldn't be used here)
private final static String pageParamMenuID = "pageMenuID";
// parameter names as given in providers.xml:
// event name
private final static String eventName = EventUtils.eventName("changeContentFromSitemap");
// parameter name for event parameters
private final static String eventParamMenuID = EventUtils.eventParameter("sitemapMenuID");
String getEventUrl( PortletRenderRequest portletRequest, long menuID) {
NameValuePair[] eventParams = new NameValuePair[2];
eventParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventName,"");
eventParams[1] = new NameValuePair(eventParamMenuID, "" + menuID);
try {
return PortletRendererUtil.constructLink(portletRequest, portletRequest.getRenderContext().getEventURL(),
eventParams,
true,
true);
} catch (Exception e) {
return "null";
But what actually happens is nothing. I also tried to construct the links with EventUtil.constructEventLink() with the same result. Checking the produced html-code in the browser shows that the same URLs are produced. So I'm of the opinion, that proper event links are created.
After checking the sent and received request parameters I came to the conclusion, that the event output parameters are never mapped to the page input paramters, as they should. So I changed the code to the following:
// page parameter (shouldn't be used here)
private final static String pageParamMenuID = "pageMenuID";
// parameter names as given in providers.xml:
// event name
private final static String eventName = EventUtils.eventName("changeContentFromSitemap");
// parameter name for event parameters
private final static String eventParamMenuID = EventUtils.eventParameter("sitemapMenuID");
String getEventUrl( PortletRenderRequest portletRequest, long menuID) {
NameValuePair[] eventParams = new NameValuePair[1];
eventParams[1] = new NameValuePair(pageParamMenuID, "" + menuID); <-- Note that the page parameter and not the event output parameter is used here -->
try {
return PortletRendererUtil.constructLink(portletRequest, portletRequest.getRenderContext().getEventURL(),
eventParams,
true,
true);
} catch (Exception e) {
return "null";
Now everything works fine, including addition of persistent private portlet parameters and further input/page/event parameters as well as working with a third portlet with performs a search (and presents the search results as links which change the content in content portlet).
But this is actually NOT the way it should work: The names of the page parameters are hard-coded in the portlets, so the roles of page designer and portlet developer are not separated in the way it is presented in the documentation. I coulnd't find a way to map the event output parameters to the page parameters to work this out.
Now I wonder whether there's some known bug in PDK or perhaps a mistake in the documentation or wether I'm just missing doing the right things. I've already read some postings in this forum concerning this problem (for example how to change the query??? but I think I've done all the things that are suggested there (checked the entries in provider.xml and the proper mapping of page parameters, public (input) portlet parameters and event output parameters, also the way I read the received request parameters and build the links)
Has anybody an idea what's wrong here?
Best regards
Torsten

Hi Amjad,
thank you very much for time and effort you spent on helping me solving this problem.
Unfortunately, I think I already tried what you suggest in your answer, but without success. From my experience, the following two calls:
1.
<%!
private static String eventName = "changeContent"
private static String eventParamID = "menuID"
String getEventUrl(PortalRenderRequest prr, long menuID) {
NameValuePair[] eventParams = new NameValuePair[1];
// no addition of eventName in the array
eventParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventParamID, "" + menuID);
return EventUtils.constructEventLink(prr, eventName, eventParams, true, true);
%>
<a href="<%= getEventUrl(portletRequest, 1234) %>">some link for ID 1234</a>
2.
<%!
private static String eventName = EventUtils.eventName("changeContent");
private static String eventParamID = EventUtils.eventParameter("menuID");
String getEventUrl(PortalRenderRequest prr, long menuID) {
NameValuePair[] eventParams = new NameValuePair[2];
eventParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventParamID, "" + menuID);
eventParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventName,"");
return PortletRendererUtil.constructLink(prr, prr.getRenderContext().getEventURL(), eventParams, true, true);
%>
<a href="<%= getEventUrl(portletRequest, 1234) %>">some link for ID 1234</a>
produce identical links. I took the second way because it is easer to add private portlet parameters to the link: just as additional NameValuePairs in the eventParam- Array (name constructed with HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter()), instead of constructing the link "by hand" as mentioned in the javadoc for constructEventLink(). I have to add these private portlet parameters here because when an event from a private parameters owning portlet is fired, the private parameters are lost (in difference to when an event from ANOTHER portlet is sent).
So I think, when you also look closely to the code snippet I added in the first posting, I made shure that I added the name of the event and not just the event parameters to the link.
I hope that I understood your answer right. Perhaps you have another idea what might be wrong. Thank you again,
best regards
Torsten

Problem with pages and kontakte

On my macbook (OSX 10.6.8) with "Pages '08 (3.0.3)" and "Adressbuch (5.0.3)", personalizing documents with contacts data works very well (e.g. "Mit Adressbuch-Daten zusammenführen..."). However, on my iMac (10.8.5) there is no "Adressbuch" but "Kontakte (7.1)" and personalizing does not work ("Keine Einträge im Adessbuch"). It looks like Pages tries to find "Adressbuch" and ignores "Kontakte".
Please help to solve this problem. Thanx

I found the solution to my problem in the discussion
Contacts to Pages Mail Merge in Mountain Lion Broken?
So I need no further help as to this tpic. Thanx

When working on my ipad with pages and numbers, I have experienced it freezing up and i cannot access the files?

When I am using Pages or Numbers app on my ipad it has frozen up? I cannot edit, open any of the files. Then later I can which is what I am hoping with the document I just produced? Is it because it goes to the cloud?

This happens to me once in a while using Pages, but the "freeze" is very brief and I can usually just wait a short period of time and then the documents are accessible again. I have no idea what causes it, but it may be due to the fact that a file is being uploaded to iCloud as you suggest, but I don't know that for sure.
Sometimes I close Pages from the task bar (double tap the home button and tap and hold down on the Pages icon until it wiggles then tap the minus sign to close it, then tap the screen above the tsak bar.) And when I launch Pages again, it is back to normal.

Problems with pages and mail merging from Address Book

hey guys. I have just created an invitation using one of the templates in Pages. this template is for four postcard size invites on one sheet of A4. i want to merge addresses from my address book. i can do the merge except that rather than four different contacts on each page i end up with four of the same on each page before it moves on the next contact on the next page. what i want to do is for it to merge one address per postcard. in Word i would put 'next' as the last field in the merge fields but i cant find a similar command in Pages. please can some advice?

I don't use Address Book for mail merging, but I tested this on a four page document and it worked for that so maybe it will work for your postcards. First, do your merge with full size pages and one address per page. Then in the print menu select Layout (drop down from Copies and Pages) and set it for 4 per Page (any direction you wish). That should print four different addresses on one sheet.

Printing problem with Pages and iWork

This problem has been troubling me for months. I have an HP OfficeJet Pro K5400 colour inkjet printer. I have installed the latest s/w drivers so it's all up to date as far as I'm aware. The problem is that when printing from Pages - or indeed any iWork application, I select 'normal' print quality and 'plain' paper, but the printer refuses to print in anything other than 'high quality'. Even if I choose 'draft' quality, the printer prints high quality. I print lots of reports and never need 'high quality' besides which it takes 4 times longer to print and uses twice as much ink (and looks dreadful on the paper I use).
Now here is the even odder thing, the printer prints as directed to Office 08, Mail, Safari and Text Edit. But I have the same problem of it ignoring my printing options in iPhoto and iCal. It also works fine from my wife's PC.
HP has been truly hopeless in trying to sort out the problem. I have reinstalled the drivers many times and cleared out all kinds of files as directed by them. The problem originated in November last year when I upgraded to Leopard.
I have installed the following drivers as directed by HP: HPInstaller_OJPK5400v9.7.1, HP v9.7Inkjet OS X 10.5 Update.
Hope someone out there can help.

Perhaps I should invest in another inkjet printer. Are you saying I should avoid HP and Epson? In which case how about Canon? Would that work or are there others you could recommend.
Good question. IMHO there is no reason to reject any particular make and model of inkjet, but there is also no reason to suppose that the supplier will support that make and model beyond its short lifetime which is sort of supposed to be the lifetime of the version of the operating system for which the 'dumb' raster driver was developed. It's just the way it is, unfortunately.
One should purchase the type of printer product that suits one's purpose. For proofing of copy a black and (single colourant) grayscale laser is superior to an inkjet. For proofing of photographs a colour inkjet which is correctly calibrated, correctly characterised, and for which colourants are correctly converted in the colour correction software and pagination software can hit within 1-2 dE of the print on a press operated with automatic colour control.
Sorry to be so unhelpful, but there are four printers and shelves of software here, and it's not simple, unfortunately.

Why doesn't my new hard drive come with Pages and Numbers?

I just got a new hard drive installed in my Mac Book Pro. It doesn't have Numbers and Pages as an included app. How do I get those w/o having to pay the $40 app fee?

If you previously downloaded them from the Mac App Store or associated them with an Apple ID, log into the Mac App Store with that Apple ID and download them from the Purchases tab.
If you got them on an iWork DVD or with a Mac that originally shipped with 10.6.8 or earlier, install them from DVD.
If you got them with a Mac that originally shipped with 10.7 or newer but didn’t associate them with an Apple ID, click here.

Hot Synch Problems with Centro and Computer

Transfered phone numbers from old phone and added three months of dates on the calendar. Hot Synched and it transferred to my laptop. Went back to Verizon and they beamed my PalmVx info into phone. Got all the addresses and phone numbers, but it wiped out the calendar. Now it will not hot synch the old phone numbers and addresses onto the laptop nor will it transfer the calendar data to the Centro. Help!
Post relates to: Centro (Verizon)

Sure. 877-426-3777. It should transfer information from the PC to the Centro and back. The question is would then be where are you syncing too? The Palm Desktop or Outlook?
If the Palm Desktop is the usermenu, (top right hand corner) set to the same user that displays out hotsync on the Centro?

Problems with pages and mountain lion

Hey i just updated my iwork, and installed mountain lion, solely for the iwork icloud feature. I do a lot of work on my ipad and it would be very useful if they would sync with my macbook. But unfortunately when i create a new document in pages for the icloud it just says the files name and has a picture of a cloud underneath with "waiting" next to it. Why is this??
