Unhappy with Yosemite's "new" Pages? Or the "new" photos?

ME TOO! I cannot tell you how much Yosemite's version of Pages *****. Here's why:
It has been redesigned to work more like the mobile version. Bad idea right out of the box. Think about it. No matter how handy it may be on occasion to do a simple card or similar thing on your iPad or iPhone's Pages, please tell me exactly how anyone would find it better in any conceivable way than doing it on their computer, with it's full fledged programs! Why would anyone (especially those who work with words and graphics) prefer the new version that oh, just like the mobile one, has FEWER features, not MORE, than the previous version? The inevitable will soon happen: you resort to time wasting work arounds or be forced to look around for a better program that is full featured and well organized. But that's also a time waster.
I am also unhappy about how Apple has ditched iPhoto and Aperture. That said, as a long time user of Aperture, I was already resigned to using another expensive Adobe program (Lightroom).
As disconcerted as I am about things that Apple has done or may do in the future, I went out and bought two new Apple computers. My 2008 Intel iMac died and my husband's 2002 Powerbook was unbearably slow. I got a new iMac for me, and a Macbook Air for my husband. Without considering any windows computers. However, since it has become clear that Apple will do whatever it wants, no matter what long time users, often professional, need.
I think Yosemite is OK as an upgrade operating system and the presence or lack of the transparency it had, is a design issue that is not of great importance to me. But the dumbed down software? Now that is a gripe.

Is there any fix to this, though? I had a perfectly fine template for my newsletter, and trying to get it to work with Yosemite is a nightmare. OK, end of complaint. Is it possible to get text to follow onto the next page? That's my immediate problem. Also, I am saving constantly, but if I make one little change to a page, it seems to screw things up several pages away - I want those pages to stay the way they were. Deadline approaching!

  • Recently 3.6 keeps the tab for the default page and won't let me close it, squeezing new pages to a new tab too narrow to use.

    Whatever startup page I specify for 3.6.11, when I attempt to move to a new page (not a new tab), the new page opens as a new tab in the left third or so of the window, with the startup page occupying the rest. The startup-page tab contains no "X" to close it and the close option is greyed out, so I cannot get rid of it or expand the page I want to fill the window. If opening a third page, I can then close the startup page tab but not the new-page tab, so I always have at least two tabs open and cannot see all of the page I want.

    Thanks for the heads up, Kappy.
    But just so everyone knows: my old Extreme (bought in March 2005!) was working with my laptop (10.9.2) and our ipad Air (7.1) until the cable company pushed through an upgrade. That apparently fried their cable modem (which they replaced with a newer model) and my Extreme. I used Airport Utility 5.5.2 on a 10.6.8 bootable external drive to check its settings, which were unchanged, but it refuses to function properly–its 3 lights flash constantly, which my manual says is abnormal.
    Anyway, it had a good run. I've ordered a new AEBS. Does any outfit repair old base stations? I could donate it...

  • Need to add a new page in the SAP Script as last page

    FIRST page next page is NEXT
    NEXT page next page is NEXT
    LAST page next page is LAST

    Create the text element in the main wondow of your form
    /E           ENDPAGE
    /:           NEW-PAGE END
    and call the element from your print program by using write_form, where you want the END page in your print.

    how do you make a link open on a new page (typically the target="_blank" command) in MUSE?

  • When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved.I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

    It was pointed out that my links do not function correctly on Firefox on a Windows platform. When links are clicked, they do not fully display the NEW page until the mouse is moved! I have now observed it for myself on my fathers PC running Windows XP on Firefox.My PC is on Windows7
    It is the 5 version of Firefox, so I know it is a current bug, and appears in no other browsers that I know of.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
    * https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode
    If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    * Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")
    In Firefox 4+ you can use one of these to start in <u>[[Safe mode]]</u>:
    * Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    * Hold down the Shift key while double clicking the Firefox desktop shortcut (Windows)

  • The pinned and unpinned pages on the "new tab" page are glitchy as hell.

    When I try to move ANY of the pinned of unpinned pages on the "new tab" page, all of them go off their grid and move spastically as I try to pin a page to a certain spot. It's really hard to describe. I already opened and closed firefox, but that didn't solve the problem. Hell, I even updated Firefox with the most recent update, but it's still doing it. I managed to get my tabs where I want them, but if I want to add another it's going to be nearly impossible because the bottom line of the grid is completely beyond reach.

    Hi KRenee, Try disabling graphics hardware acceleration.
    You might need to restart Firefox in order for this to take effect, so save all work first (e.g., mail you are composing, online documents you're editing, etc.).
    Then perform these steps:
    #Open Firefox ''Options'' window as follows:
    #* Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and select ''Options'' for Windows or ''Preferences'' on Mac or Linux.
    #In the Firefox Options window, click the ''Advanced'' tab, then select ''General''.
    #In the settings list, you should find the ''Use hardware acceleration when available'' checkbox. '''Uncheck''' this checkbox.
    #Now, restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.
    Additionally, please check for updates for your graphics driver by following the steps mentioned in the following Knowledge base articles:
    * [[Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems]]
    * [[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Thank you.

  • Can't add new page in the middle of document

    I am creating a manual and inserted page breaks at the end of each page as I created the document. Now I am trying to add a new page to the middle by inserting page breaks and even section breaks, but every time I try to add it in, it just goes to the bottom of the document and I am unable to move anything into the original 50 pages. Any tips here?
    When I look at the thumbnail view of the document it has all 50 pages in one yellow box instead of one page individually. A bit odd.

    The thumbnail browser shows one small page thumbnail for each page of your document. Each yellow bounding box indicates a section. So the thumbnail browser indicates your document has a single section with 50 pages in it.
    As you've typed your document it has naturally flowed from one page to the next. If you place a page break at the end of the page you are simply mandating what Pages has already voluntarily done. But if you insert a second page break you should get a new blank page. In other words, if you put your cursor at the bottom of page 6 and insert a page break you will move to the top of page 7 which has text because it is still page 7. Insert another page break and page 7 becomes page 8 and you'll have a blank page 7.
    Note: if you move your cursor into the middle of the document and insert a section break you'll see that the thumbnail browser shows two sections; one ending on the page above your cursor and one starting on the page your cursor is in. This is useful to understand.
    Second Note: if you use the Insert>Sections option it always inserts a new section at the bottom of the section your cursor occupies. Since your document currently has one section, that's why you wind up with the inserted page at the end of your document.

  • I have music in iTunes that was purchased with an account that no longer exists. I'm transferring music to a new computer so the new iTunes is asking me to sign in to the old account to authorize the old music. Is there a work-around for this?

    Just to clarify: I purchased some of my older music in iTunes with an account that got deleted. I cannot recover or use this old account. I transferred music from my old iTunes to a new computer and that new iTunes on the new computer is asking me to sign into the old account to authorize the music. So, is there another way to transfer this music to my new iTunes? I'm using a USB thumb drive to transfer the music. Also, music that was purchased with my current account tranfers just fine.

    In pages(not the New version) footer is over to the left, so when i put the page numbers in they don't sit right. How do i move the footer

    The footer is not only to the left. To get the page number to the right you can use Format > Align right. That will make all page numbers move to the right. Is that what you want?

  • How to insert a new page at the beginning of a chapter

    I tried to do that but not successful. Can we do that? What are the limitations of page/section adding on iBook Author?

    Hi narin1975,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like you want to add a page in your iBooks Author project. Take a look at the iBooks Author Help webpage below, it will walk you through adding or deleting pages, chapters and sections.
    Add, reorder, or delete chapters, sections, and pages
    http://help.apple.com/ibooksauthor/mac/#blsa47d9392
    Add a new page
    In the Book pane (shown above), select the chapter or section you want to add pages to.
    Click Add Pages in the toolbar, and choose Pages > Option.
    Tip:  You can also add a new page by Control-clicking a page in the Book pane and choosing Insert Page from the shortcut menu. The new page uses the default layout for the chapter or section.
    I hope this helps.
