The cursor cannot be placed on the text at the bottom of the page

I have a very long document that I'm working on. The latter pages are behaving strangely. When I scroll down big blocks of grey appear between pages, when I try to place the cursor on a line of text at the bottom of the page it simply won't stick.

I am not sure what the problem is but it is something being reported by others.
Personally I do not trust longer documents in Pages, it may be advisable to break them up into smaller documents and simply continue the page numbers on in subsequent document.

  • How do I stop all the text being selected in the Google search box when I click in it? I just want the cursor to be placed where I click so I can edit the search field.

    If I want to select the whole field I am happy to double click, or tab into the field. More often though I want to refine my search, or correct a spelling mistake.

    Click twice to get the blinking cursor.

  • Hello, I am trying to upgrade to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error. Resizing the partition does not work, I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot

    Hello, I am trying to upgrade my macbook pro to yosemite, but I get the "disk cannot be used to startup your computer" error.
    Resizing the partition does not work for me and I get the error "MediaKit reports no such partition" probably because I installed linux in dual boot and the disk manager is lost.
    Anyway to tell the yosemite installer that it should not pay attention whether the disk is bootable or not ?
    If I am doomed, any way to delete the installer and downloaded OS from my hard drive ?
    Thanks for your help

    As usual, the Linux installer wrecked the partition table. You would have to boot from your OS X installation disc and repartition. Doing so will of course remove all data from the drive, so you must back up first if you haven't already done so.

  • My 160MB iPod Classic won't sync from iTunes.  This is a recent problem.  The error message is "The iPod cannot be synched.  An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that music will sync but photos will not.  Current software on Mac and iPod.

    My iPod classic won't synch from iTunes.  This is a recent problem.  The error message reads "The iPod cannot be synched.  An unknown error occurred (-39)." The end result is that the music will sync but photos will not sync.  I am running current versions of software on the iPod and the iMac / iTunes.  HELP! J

    First try to resolve #2 by:
    See
    iOS: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows
    - I would start with
    Removing and Reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows XP
    or               
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes and other software components for Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8
    However, after your remove the Apple software components also remove the iCloud Control Panel via Windows Programs and Featurs appin the Window Control Panel. Then reinstall all the Apple software components
    - New cable and different USB port
    - Run this and see if the results help with determine the cause
    iTunes for Windows: Device Sync Tests
    - Try on another computer to help determine if computer or iPod problem
    If you can resolve #1 and still get same message for #1 then you have to restore the iPod like the message says.

    why am i getting the message cannot get mail or that i am not connected to the internet what settings do i need to be on

    WIFi needs to enabled and you need to be connected to a network. Alternatively, you need Cellular Data to be "on". (Settings>General>Network). But it propably is a problem with your router (at least, it often is with me), provided you are using your private router. Try schutting it off and turning it on again. This usually sorts problems like this out.

    As the error can be caused by various things .You need to check follow details:
    Open SharePoint Central Admin > System Settings > Services on Server .Make sure that ‘Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Sandboxed Code Service’ is running .
    When you publish a form with code behind ,you need to publish it either as a sandboxed solution or as an Administrator Approved Form .

  • I reloaded my old iWorks 08 to my iMac's new hard drive. With a new Pages document, I can't see the cursor. You can type in text but it is in white only. Any thoughts?

    Hi. I lost my iMac's hard drive and had a new one installed. I reloaded my old iWorks 08 software and then transferred my Pages documents from a portable HD to the iMac. The files open but the original text in them (they are journals) are in white against the white background. Plus I can't see any sign of the cursor. I can hi-lite the text and change its colour but never to black. Plus the photos I inserted along side the text are barely visible, as if they had been badly faded.
    Any thoughts on this? Many thanks.
    Richard

    Richard,
    You must run Software Update and bring your old iWorks 08 to the latest release for compatibility with the current OS.

  • In design view the cursor doesn't display correctly with text how to fix

    When working in the design view in a text block the cursor shows in one spot but the code view show it is over a few characters so you have a real hard time editing text in that mode.  How do you fix this.  I have had this issue in several version of DW I am in 5 now.

    I don't have this problem.
    Which OS are you on?
    Does this happen with all your sites or just one?

  • WHy is the cursor jumping to wrong position (mainly back to position 1 in the text field) as I try to post comments to peoples posts on Facebook?

    I love FIrefox browser and prefer to use it on all my devices, PC, Smart Tv, Phone, Tablet etc. In recent times Iv'e had problems though, everytime I try to comment on a facebook post with each key stroke the cursor jumps back to the beginning of the text field and by the time I finish typing I look up and find jibberish, yesterday I upgraded this RKM Mk902 Android device that I am typing on now unfortunately using Chrome from Anroid 4.2.2 to android 4.4.2 Kit-Kat and thought I would no longer have that problem but the issue is still there. I also have discovered I'm having similar problems with FireFox on my Cube U39GT tablet. As I spend more time on Facebook than any other website I have to find a solution. I thought it may of been one of the addons that i use causing the problems such as Phony but I still get the issue without the addons and after a clean install. Please help me sort out this problem so I can once more use FireFox on my Android devices.

    I found this, it seems that there are a few issues in Android as well with the wrong placement for the cursor when you type: [https://github.com/RobinHerbots/jquery.inputmask/issues/465] but since it is only happening in facebook, this is odd.
    What this means is that they are working on fixing specific issues like this and I am not sure when this will be fixed.
    Does this happen with both keyboards that are offered in the Android Settings?

  • The cursor moves at will while I am typing and screws up the work I have done. Can I trash the comp

    Is there any way to reduce the sensitivity of the mouse pad? 
    I have a laptop that is still under warentee.  It has been in the repair shop and I have contacted HP support twice.  I cannot type a complete sentence without the cursor jumping to another location and screwing up what I have already typed.  I know there is a double click on the mouse pad to turn it off,  but that is un-acceptable because I have to keep turning it on to move the cursor to another spot to operate a function then turn it off again.  Can I either:  return it to HP for a real computer, or, let the neighbors dog chew on it for a few days then throw it in the trash?  I have an HP printer that works very well for me, but for the money spent on this computer,  I don't think that any other HP products are in my future if this problem is not resolved soon.
    At this point, there has not been anyone who seems to understand how to fix it.  The telephone assistant really tried to find a solution, but it likely was not something that was covered in his flip chart. 
    I have had other computers and not one of them has been like this....  Perhaps I bought a top of the line laptop for not!
    It is a Pavilion dv6-6149nr. 
    It runs out of warentee on July first of this year.  I am discusted with it and the lack of help for the problem.  I have put up with this problem for long enough.

  • The cursor won't work in Firefox quite often without my restarting the program

    When I am on Firefox quite often the cursor won't highlight anything or allow me to enter any text. I have to quit the program and restart it. Any suggestions?

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
