Typing lag following Pages 5.2 update

Pages is running so slowly I can’t use it for work. Sentences lag after I type them, sometimes for minutes. Also scrolling lags and skips, and the thumbnails pane is absolutely crazy - it shows overlapping pages, missing pages, etc. The problem seems to be slightly exacerbated in longer documents, but does not seem to affect Word, TextEdit, SublimeText, TeXShop, or other text editors. It is also exacerbated by the general slowness of the computer, which is coming up on five years old now, but the problem is definitely Pages-specific, definitely only started after the update, and it definitely making it totally unusable. I'd really appreciate any advice, even simple stuff.
I've just upgraded to pages 5.2 (as part of the complete iWork update), on a mid-2009 Macbook Pro (running OS X 10.9.2), with a 2.23 GHz processor and 8 GB of RAM.
Thanks so much!

The problem is most probably software specific. I am running OSX 10.9.2 on a rMBP with 16gb or Ram, half a TB of free storage and a 2.6 i7 and typing in pages lags a lot! I was on the phone with apple support UK for over an hour yesterday and they did not have a solution for me but at least they are looking into it. The program was not sucking too much memory and the rest of the computer was running smoothly. The only problem was with typing in pages. The length of the document didn't seem to have a correlation, as opening a new document and filling it with dummy text of up to 3000 words did not cause it to lag, but rather the amount of time I've spent on a document. The technician asked me to disconnect pages from icloud as he thought it could be connected with the constant updating, but this didn't help either. We've tried creating a new user account, testing the document in safe boot, completely removing pages from the system and then reinstalling, removing any plug ins like Endnote's plugin etc but NOTHING helped. And the weird thing is that: it's only typing that's lagging, scrolling, adding graphics, copy pasting and ANY other function would work smoothly... unless you tried to type. Also, the exact same document would have no problem being edited in pages for icloud.
I am surprised as to why there aren't any more people facing this problem allready.
I will keep this post updated with any news from Apple Support.

Even Typing lag? Please save my Macbook!

Efficiency matters. And the super slow Macbook Pro is dragging me down
Typing lag?
Chrome browsing lag?
not to mention Photoshop, After Effects and Xcode.
(i don't dare opening MS Word, toooo slow)
I tried MacBooster and it didn't really help.
Usually I just open these softwares: Chrome, Evernote, EUdict, Flux
But even this setting could lag from time to time. (Already the minimum amount of app I could open)
What is the problem? What can I do? Should I upgrade my hardware?

Hi cecilialee,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like OS X is running slowly. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

Blog Summary Page Does Not Update Picture

For some reason, when I create a new blog entry by duplicating the last one and adding new content, the Blog Summary page will not update the picture. I sometimes either have to create a new blank blog entry, or drag a different picture into the placeholder, followed by my original.
Is this happening to anyone else? I think I am going to finish out my year-long blog project with iWeb/MobileMe, then drop both! This is getting to frustrating.

Perhaps to this person:
_blog summary didn't show the pictures_.

A wise move — problems with iWeb's blog are a recurring theme on these forums: Lost all blog entries or all comments or unable to publish, etc. If you switch to a dedicated blogging platform you're likely to have a better experience. For a success story using a non-iWeb blog hosted on WordPress, see this old thread:

IC Webclient. Typing Lag

How am I going to explain this?
Ok there we go. Our users are complaining about CRM performance in specific there are complaining about typing lag. They are typing faster than what shows in IC webclient fields.
I was wondering If any one has experienced this issue before, As I have exhausted all the performance enhancement opportunity with our system.
IC webclient version is as follow:
CRM 4.0
Database Client Library     SQL_Server_8.00
kernel release   = 640
compiled on      = NT 5.0 2195 Service Pack 4 x86 MS VC++ 13.10
compile time     = Oct 29 2006 19:35:01
patch number     = 155
source id        = 0.155

Calling Markus and all the gurus who have helped me in past.
I have upgraded the frontend PC's for more memory.
Database and CI has been tuned as per early watch report.
But still, typing lag is an issue. it takes few second to see what users are typing on the screen. Any suggestion?
Regards,
KG

I just installed iOS7 on my new iPhone 4. Huge typing lag problem now. Any fixes out there? How do I uninstall this update. The phone worked better without it. Don't even like the new layout and icon design.
Apple, please fix this now!!!

Try a Restart.
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Resetting your settings
You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.
Here is a link to their contacts with most of the information below.

Browser zoom causes typing lag

When using Outlook.com mail, my user noticed a typing lag. I reset IE, disabled all startup items, tried an external keyboard on this laptop, deleted the built in keyboard driver and let it redetect on reboot, tried Google Chrome as an alternate browser.
No typing lag in any other app such as WordPad. I found that in IE or Chrome, 125% zoom was fine but as soon as I set it to 150%, the lag came back, that was the common denominator.

Hi,
This issue can be caused by video card and GPU acceleration.
Please disable GPU acceleration in IE and Chrome, and if you have Graphic card software, please also disable the GPU acceleration on it to check the results.

Pages won't update to 5.1, refuses to open documents

First of all, pardon me while I scream. AAAAARRRRRRRRGGGGHHHHH!
iWork! I've stood by you all these years and this is what you do to me!!!!!
OK. So - Keynote and Numbers recently updated in late January, but not Pages. Today (18 February), I tried to open a Pages file and it won't open. The error message says that I need a newer version of Pages to open this document. I check and my version of Pages is 5.0. The app store says the latest version is 5.1 but it also tells me I have no updates available and I can't update or reinstall it because the button in the App Store just says "installed" for Pages.
Can anyone help please??
First off, why does Pages refuse to update? And, how can a simple upgrade from 5.0 to 5.1 immediately and automatically render my old documents UNOPENABLE? This is so ridiculous. I want to cry/scream because I'm wasting hours and hours now trying to open this one document.
Please help? Thank you.

That is not a "button" that is the icon and it is for the older version of Pages.
You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 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 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud 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 over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

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.

You log into the App store using the same Apple ID you used to set the computer up, verify that none of your apps are hidden and that they have all be accepted and then download and install the update

Pages 5.0 update - documents not opening

Pages has been updated to 5.0. Previous documents had information removed and then will not open saying that a higher version of Pages is required. New documents I have created since the update will also not open saying that I need a higher version

No, Pages hasn't been updated. Pages has been upgraded, that is there is an entirely new version of Pages named Pages 5.0
Pages 5.0 can open Pages 09 documents but not vice versa. I suspect that you are trying to open a Pages 5.0 document in Pages 09.
Pages 09 is in the Applications > iWork 09 folder.
Pages 5.0 is in the Application folder. The icons for Pages 09 in the Dock or the Launch Pad ins't updated though. You have to do that yourself.
