The Pages Full Screen option is the iPad screen!

I haven't heard anyone mention this, but I think Apple did something very smart with the last iteration of Pages as a set up to Pages for iPad.
For those of us who dream of having a writing station as small and light as the iPad, the real question is: Can this really work as an alternative to a laptop? Well, here are three ways Apple has already groomed us for this transition:
1. They added a keyboard dock, which of course makes real, lengthy writing sessions possible.
2. They put a version of Pages on the iPad.
3. Third, the Pages Full Screen mode on your current computer (if a laptop) looks an awful lot like the iPad screen. When I take my MacBook into Full Screen, the dimensions of the writing screen are almost identical to what I would have on an iPad. In other words, I am already typing on that narrow screen!
What do you think? [Sure, this isn't really a problem-solving question, but this is a discussion forum, no?]

The question is whether the iPad screen is built to US Quarto (used by 5% of the planet) or to the International standard A4.
The proportions seem to suggest that the design is USA only.

    Well I figured it out, right click the arrow that makes the screen bigger and unclick the Hide Toolbar. I knew it couldn't be that hard.

  • Pages Full screen view second external monitor

    I use a 24" monitor as my primary display when i'm at my desk with my Macbook Pro. Is there anyway to get pages full screen view to display on the external monitor instead of the macbook pro screen?

    Jerry
    Apple has sort of spoiled the multiple monitor thing, which before OSX used to be a great feature on Macs.
    Apple tends to make assumptions about its users, based on whatever it is selling in its latest hardware.
    Since so many large screen iMacs have been sold and the external monitor ports have switched numerous times, most users have given up trying to connect multiple monitors and many are probably even unaware it is possible.
    It seems this includes the Pages' programmers who have slipped up on this.

  • How to view iPhoto book pages full screen

    I have made a book in the latest version of Aperture. Now I want to view the pages of my book in full screen view - the book, not the individual pics. It would be great if I could make the book pages into a slideshow too. I can't work it out - HELP!!!

    Welcome to the forum.
    It's a bit of round robin, but you can make it a slide show. Go to File >> Print Book. In the print dialog click the PDF button in the lower left corner and choose "Save PDF to Aperture". This will bring up the import PDF Import dialog. Choose either Tiff or JPEG, and either chose a project or create a new one to save it in. Voila! You now have images of the pages to make a slideshow with. You still may want to crop the borders off the pages.

  • Multi-Page full screen JSP Portlet

    If one is attempting to create a portlet application that needs multiple pages in full screen mode, is the best approach to "portletise" the first page (entry point), and then have subsequent full screen pages displayed outside of the portal page?
    If so, how do you maintain user authentication once you get into your full screen pages that are outside of the portal page?
    Or, is there a way to keep your full screen portlet pages inside of the portal page, similar to the details or customize mode?

    Hi,
    I think this is something I need to understand...
    "Remember the concept of a portal and the concept of a portlet versus that of an application" -- David Knox
    Where should I go to read up on this ?
    If my application is a web delivered reporting system or a quotation system based on web based forms providing workflow, then should it become a collection of portlets held together by a portal ? or a collection of JSP form pages held together by my own controller servlet ?
    The movement from using part of a page to a whole page is important. If I am on a wizard based workflow that uses a number of forms then I don't want a customer to be distracted from completing the wizard by other portlets.
    If I am generating a report then I want to use as much real-estate as possible for the report, should I aim to use the Portal to provide a list of reports and allow the user to add parameters to modifiy the report with a big <GO> button that pops up a window containing the required report ?
    If I create a full-screen popup window, can I remain within the security model of the Portal and provide report click-through to other reports ?

    Hello,
    I think, by clearing Cache and cookies, may solve this problem
    To clear cache and cookies do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > History > Clear recent history or (if no Firefox button is shown) go to Tools > Clear recent history.
    #Under "Time range to clear", select "Everything".
    #Now, click the arrow next to Details to toggle the Details list active.
    #From the details list, check ''Cache'' and ''Cookies'' and uncheck everything else.
    #Now click the ''Clear now'' button.
    Further information can be found in the [[Clear your cache, history and other personal information in Firefox]] article.

  • Pages '09 in full screen tooltip appears on other Spaces

    Hi all,
    I'm using Lion 10.7.1, Pages '09 (4.1, 923) on a mid-2010 13" Macbook Pro.
    I love the full screen view on Pages and I use four desktops with Spaces. In the last couple of days I've used one of Pages' Newsletter templates (doesn't matter which, they all do it) and with Pages full screen if I switch to another Space and rest the mouse over a point on screen where there's an image on the Pages Space, the "This image is a placeholder. Drag a new media file here to replace it." yellow tooltip comes up. If I move the mouse onto the tooltip and click the screen slides back to Pages. This is pretty annoying if, say, on that other Space I'm using another application, the Pages tooltip comes up just before I click, and suddenly the focus changes back to Pages.
    Doesn't happen with Keynote or Numbers when using their templates that have placeholder images.
    Can someone check if this behavious is consistent and does anybody have any suggestions how to stop it?
    Thanks for any help,
    Bill.

    Menu > Pages > Provide Pages Feedback
    Personally I never upgrade to a new OSX till it reaches version x.3
    With Lion I may make that an exception and wait till it is v x.13 or higher, or maybe never. I am so glad I bought my iMac before Apple enforces Lion on all their latest models.
    Lion is looking more like Vista every day.

  • Document windows open full screen

    Hi,
    Trying to avoid using the application frame as I don't like the way it stays open and visible when all Dreamweaver documents are closed (even if DW is in the background.)  So I have Application Frame (under Window menu) deselected...but everytime I open an html page to edit it opens the full width of the screen.  Anyway to set Dreamweaver to remember how wide windows were previously and have them open to that width which I set?
    Thanks,
    Rick

    Rick Lupert wrote:
    It seems strange though that Dreamweaver would assume I want to see a web page full screen...
    Dreamweaver CS6 introduced the Application Frame to bring it into line with other Creative Suite programs. Some Mac users like it. Others loathe it with passion. If you don't like the way Dreamweaver now works, submit a feature request as I suggested earlier.
    However, I have discovered a way to get the Mac version of Dreamweaver CS6 to open files at a smaller size. Whether it suits your preferred workflow is a different matter.
    Turn on Application Frame and resize Dreamweaver so that it doesn't fill your monitor. Go to the Dreamweaver menu, and select Preferences. In the General category, deselect the option to open documents in tabs.
    Now when you open a document, it will be floating, and will be only large enough to fit in the resized Application Frame. You won't be able to access other programs or files behind the Application Frame unless you minimize Dreamweaver. But if you locate the Application Frame away from other documents that you might want to access, it will give you freedom to switch between programs and keep the size of the Document window more manageable.
    Of course, it's not exactly what you want, but it might make your workflow a little easier.
    By the way, this is a user-to-user forum, not Adobe support. So, if you want Adobe to take notice of your requirements, use the form I suggested earlier.

  • Why can't I launch another app using a URL scheme in a web clip set up through Configurator with the "full screen app" option selected?

    My company uses web clips on iOS devices, set up through profiles on Configurator, for EVERYTHING. Most of these web clips have a transfer function on the site that allows the user to bring up other apps, like directions to a destination in Google Maps for instance (a URL scheme.) If the option for the web clip to appear as a "full screen app" is selected in Configurator (or iPhone Configuration Utility), this fuction does not work on devices that are running iOS 7. It is imparative to our company that the web clips be full page so there is no address bar, back button, etc. for the users to access. With this feature not working, I have 50+ iOS devices that are usless to us.

    Somebody, please help!

    Phil,    I have been trying to figure out a solution to this problem since iOS 7 came out. In hindsight, I should have downloaded the beta versions of the iOS so I would have had even more time. I have talked with quite a few different developers and up until today it was a consensus that this was a "feature" of iOS in an attempt by Apple to diminish the use of webapps. Now most of these people wouldn't be considered apple apologists by any stretch, which could have contributed to their pessimism.    That being said, today I finally received some news that could give us a glimmer of hope. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone today being sent "up the ladder" until I think I found the right person to help (I'm not complaining; I was surprised at how competent and helpful each person that I spoke with was, and I didn't have to explain the situation over and over again.) I think what took so long finding the right person to speak with was that this isn't an issue that any type of troubleshooting would fix. It's not an iPad, iPhone, or even an Apple Configurator issue; it's actually a bug in iOS 7.    Anyways, the senior engineer that I spoke with reassured me, very adamantly, that this was not a feature of the new operating system and most definitely a bug. He said that they take webapps very seriously and are actually looking for ways to improve how webapps work on iOS devices and how they are used with Mobile Device Management software, like Configurator.    I was a little concerned that he said this was the first he or anyone on his team has heard about this problem, but he did work extensively with me today and said that it looks to be a major issue, and something that he and his team are going to try to figure out as soon as possible. He said he would be calling me by Tuesday with information on how and when this will be fixed.     Jon

  • Full screen option minimizes the window?

    When I click the full screen option in the firefox dropdown menu or use the toolbar icon the page minimizes to my taskbar immediately and becomes non functional. It freezes there until I close/re-open the browser. I'm using a firefox theme (Orange Fox 4.0.29.03.11) . I'm brand spankin new to the firefox browser so it may be something I'm not doing correctly. I thought maybe this theme may not be compatible or buggy to this version of firefox. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

  • In normal view, half the page disappears off right of screen. in full screen this does not happen. what can be done to correct the screen ratio for normal screen?

    version 5 loaded on windows 7. all went well for a while. one day while using, ratio of normal screen doubled in width; i.e. half the page disappears off the screen to the right (on a wide screen). when full screen mode applied, ratio is fine. it only happens in normal view, which is the usually prefered option. I cannot determine any means within the program to resize the normal screen. nothing else is affected, only mozilla firefox in normal view. not that when program is opened from keyboard the page is correct for a moment, then enlarges the width with 1/2 page dissappearing.

    This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension

  • My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data.

    My iPad Mini with retina display suddenly will not connect to the Internet. It shows full wifi bars, yet no web pages will load. My Internet is working with all other apple devices in my house. The iPad also no longer works with celluar data. I'm not sure what has happened. It was working fine a few hours ago. I have tried resetting it, ive restarted my browser etc. I tried to erase all data from my Ipad but I can't do that because it needs to sign into my Apple ID and use the Internet!

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.

  • How do I reformat the size of images and text on page to fit in normal full screen?

    Recently my computer crashed due to age. I can reboot the system and have done so reinstalling all programs using Windows. I have Firefox that I use but my homepage is set to aol as this is my email address. IT was on Sunday evening Dec. 26th that my computer was rebooted after having been out of commission for a month. I just did not have time to do it sooner due to holidays. My problem is that when I got my homepage, which was the Mozilla Get Started introductory page, the images were absolutely huge. I can see what I am supposed to, however, it looks like the images have been zoomed in so many times. I don't like this. I want my pages to display images as normal size for full screen mode. I have tried using the View tab and choosing the zoom option, but it does virtually no good-if I zoom out you can still see things like images but print is too tiny and blurry. Again, never have I enlarged the font, pics, or anything else for the matter. I like my settings on fonts to be standard (10-14) depending on what I am seeing. I don't understand why this happened. This is the first time I am seeing this issue ever and need help. If I want to see all of my page I have to scroll horizontally and vertically in order to see it all. I want to see it all at one time. I have never encountered this problem before. Can anyone help me? I would appreciate someone contacting me soon via email of [email protected] denoting to me an appointment time I can log on and get live chat help for this. Please let me know if this can be done or if I need to just try to live with it. Thank you for you help in this in advance and I look forward to hearing from my pals at Firefox because the staff have always been very helpful in past issues needing help on my end. Have a Happy New Year of 2011. By the way, I know that the box below has options of stating when this has happened and how many times, but I can say it has happened only once being now. I assume, and assumptions are slippery indeed, that if this happened now that it will in future times. So, for sake of answering the box below I will choose "once."

    Hit Ctrl+0 (That's a zero, by the way). I'm not sure if it will work, but hey, that's the first thing I would try.
