Table of contents will not show page numbers

I have a 1000+ page document which has a TOC which is broken upon installing Snow Leopard. There were no issues with it prior SL, anyway. The TOC is built correctly, according to Help and the Manual. What I get is a list of items for the TOC, but no page numbers. The page numbers should be checked to act as links. The odd thing is that when I highlight the TOC the place for the page numbers gets selected. So clearly there is something where the numbers should be, but it is not visible, nor is it clickable. Copying and pasting the TOC to TextEdit also shows the same thing--something's there, just not a page number.
Help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
T

Hello
Here, under Snow 10.6.1, the TOC behaves well so you have something wrong on your system.
Check that you have installed the upgrade to Pages 4.0.2
Check that Pages (as well as Numbers and Keynote) are correctly stored in the Applications:iWork '09 folder
Quit/close the application(s)
Run Disk Utilities to repair permissions.
It would be interesting to run Coktail to repair several other system files but Coktail is not free.
Try to run Pages from an other user account. If it behave well from this one, we will know that the odddity is in your user account.
Drag the iWork preferences files on the desktop then restart the application(s)
Restart Pages.
If it behaves well, the problem was a corrupted preferences file.
Some problems where reported with fonts.
So it would be a good idea to disable third party fonts AND Hoefler Text.
But I assume that you don't use this one in your 1000 pages document.
After that, let us know the results.

TS1424 I purchased and downloaded a book in iBooks. I read about 16 chapters. The next time I opened the app to read the book, no words loaded on the pages. It would go to the table of contents, but not to pages in chapters. Any ideas?

Try to reset your phone, hold the home/sleep buttons until it reboots and the apple logo appears, don't release the buttons till apple logo appears. If no luck there, Resync the book. Or delete it and redownload it. Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Try the following:
1 - close iWeb.
2 - delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder.
3 - go to your User/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete the contents.
4 - reboot.
5 - launch iWeb and see if there's any improvement.
If that doesn't help continue:
6 - move the domain file from your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
7 - launch iWeb, create a new test site and save.
8 - go to the your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
9 - move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
10 - launch iWeb and try again.

Parent Controls will not allow Pages, Numbers or Motion to launch

I upgraded my kids computer to Yosemite and they can not launch Pages, Numbers or Motion. If I log on to the computer as an admin they launch fine. I have verified in Parent Controls that I have granted them access to those programs. Any suggestions? (os=10.10 (14A389)

I was able to 'always allow' access to those programs by entering my password, while they were logged in. Good luck, still having issues with time limits and being able to login to parental control from admin preferences..

Table of Contents will not export to PDF

CS3: I have an InDesign Book with 10 documents in it. The first document is the Table of Contents which was created using ID's TOC feature.
When I go to export that document to PDF, it acts like it's working, but the PDF is not made. There is no trace of a PDF in the folder.
If I delete the Table of Contents text the file will make a PDF.
If I try to export the entire book, the whole process just crashes.
I tried exporting the doc to .inx (which I was able to do) and make the PDF and the same thing happens.
Of course, this is a 300 page book and I'm on a deadline...
The book also has bookmarks and hyperlinks throughout -- not sure if that would cause a problem
Thanks for any thoughts! Jodi

There are some known problems with bookmarks and CS5 as well. As far as I know, the 7.0.3 update won't fix them, but it does solve some other problems, so you should install it.

IPhoto content will not show in finder. Why?

I don't have access to individual pictures in my iPhoto library through 'finder'. To be able to attach a picture, I have to drag it on my desktop first. Editing programs, like Lightroom, can't find my pictures, unless they're on the desktop. How do I make the iPhoto content visible in 'finder'?

Since iPhoto 7 (iLife 08) the old iPhoto Library Folder is a Package File. This is simply a folder that +looks+ like a file in the Finder. The change was made to the format of the iPhoto library because many users were inadvertently corrupting their library by browsing through it with other software or making changes in it themselves.
Accessing the pics via the Finder has never been supported on any version of iPhoto.
There are many, many ways to access your files in iPhoto: You can use any Open / Attach / Browse dialogue. On the left there's a Media heading, your pics can be accessed there. Command-Click for selecting multiple pics.
(Note the above illustration is not a Finder Window. It's the dialogue you get when you go File -> Open)
You can access the Library from the New Message Window in Mail:
There's a similar option in Outlook and many, many other apps. If you use Apple's Mail, Entourage, AOL or Eudora you can email from within iPhoto.
If you use a Cocoa-based Browser such as Safari, you can drag the pics from the iPhoto Window to the Attach window in the browser.
If you want to access the files with iPhoto not running:
For users of 10.6 and later: You can download a free Services component from MacOSXAutomation which will give you access to the iPhoto Library from your Services Menu.
Using the Services Preference Pane you can even create a keyboard shortcut for it.
For Users of 10.4 and 10.5 Create a Media Browser using Automator (takes about 10 seconds) or use this free utility Karelia iMedia Browser
Other options include:
Drag and Drop: Drag a photo from the iPhoto Window to the desktop, there iPhoto will make a full-sized copy of the pic.
File -> Export: Select the files in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Export. The dialogue will give you various options, including altering the format, naming the files and changing the size. Again, producing a copy.
Show File: a. On iPhoto 09 and earlier: Right- (or Control-) Click on a pic and in the resulting dialogue choose 'Show File'. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected. 3.b.
b: On iPhoto 11 and later: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and go File -> Reveal in Finder -> Original. A Finder window will pop open with the file already selected.
Editing programs, like Lightroom, can't find my pictures, unless they're on the desktop.
Editing programs - unlike Lightroom - can b set as External Editors - just like every version of iPhoto and in exactly the same way
You can set Photoshop (or any image editor) as an external editor in iPhoto. (Preferences -> General -> Edit Photo: Choose from the Drop Down Menu.) This way, when you double click a pic to edit in iPhoto it will open automatically in Photoshop or your Image Editor, and when you save it it's sent back to iPhoto automatically. This is the only way that edits made in another application will be displayed in iPhoto.
Lightroom is not an editing program. Like iPhoto it's a database photo manager. It's difficult to use the two together as they are designed to do the same job and not compliment each other. You're best to pic on or the other.

Table of contents will not allow additions

I am creating a portrait-oriented book. The TOC function is not allowing me to add paragraph styles nor is it automatically picking up the Chapter names. When I click the + symbol on the TOC inspector pane the only option I am given is "Add Section". In Preview my Front matter is properly listed in the TOC but the chapters are not there. What am I missing?

KT -- Thanks for replying. I'm not sure exactly what you mean but it is all rather moot at this point. I reloaded the chapters into a Landscape template and found the TOC worked just great. The landscape format offers some nice benefits and I can let the reader decide whether he/she wants to read in portrait. Thanks again.

Why does InDesign interactives table of contents does not always work in page mode ?

I'm working on a large document (400 pages) made of 12 Indesign documents in a book. When I export the entire book in one interactive pdf file, some the elements from the interactive table of content do not work. When I export the file as «spread», everything works, when I export the file in «pages» some elements loose their interactivity.
I'm on CS6 on Mac.
(Sorry for my English)
Any solution anyone ?

Document content does not show up on screen. Only a blank, gray page.

When I open an adobe document, the contents do not show on screen. Only a blank gray page. How can I fix this?

Hi 89r0z62cap,
It sounds as though that PDF was created from a scanned image, and you have the "Show Large Images" option deselected. Try this:
Open the Preferences dialog box (Reader/Acrobat > Preferences on Mac OS; File > Preferences on Windows).
Click Page Display and make sure that Show Large Images is selected under Page Content and Information.
That should do the trick, but let us know if it doesn't.
Best,
Sara

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters are showing up as green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC.

My table of contents does not use the entry style I select for words in the paragraph that have character styles applied to them in the chapter, so some of the letters, specifically parameters, are showing up green, which is fine in the chapter but not in the TOC. I can manually fix this in the TOC by changing the character style to none after the toc has been generated, but I don't want to do this.

What application are you running? Please ask this in the forum of the product you're using.
