Transfer them to your harddisk immediately.

How to close a frozen warning: I am unable to close the "charicter boarders aren't supported and were removed" warning on my pages. Untill warning is closed I can not save my document. How can I get my document saved?

I have an unsaved document open in pages but can not save it because the, "charicter boarders aren't supported and were removed" warning is open and I can not close the warning. How can i get the warning to close so I can save my document? Can I save the document without closing the warning?

Probably not, but as you will have been unable to make any changes to the document with that warning window open, you're not going to lose anything by quitting (or force quitting) without saving. You'll still have the original document you were trying to import.
I would suggest attempting to open the document in one of the open source Office applications, LibreOffice, Apache OpenOffice, or NeoOffice, each available for download from the linked sites. Once open there, remove the attributes that are causing the warning, save the file (as an MS Word document), then try opening that version in Pages.

Html documents in webServer/documents folder I can't open...

Hi all,
For a while now I've been researching on how to use a mac as a webserver to host my sites.
I know that to get users to access sites fromt the server without having to use user folders I'll have to store my sites in the HDD's library/WebServer/Documents folder.
Well, having a look at this folder it is filled with some form of HTML documents, such as Index.html.en, Index.html.cn etc etc. I gather that these are different language variations of an index html document. However because of the html.en extension etc I can't seem to open the document in a web browser, I can open it in textedit and it confirms it is a html doc.
Why can this not be opened? do they need to be deleted and replaced with my own sites if I use my mac as a webserver?
Thanks

You're right, these are localized language variations of the default Apache welcome page. You should be able to open them by dragging them to a web browser window. Apache doesn't server those pages out as a result of a direct request, but as the result of a content negotiation. In other words, if someone requests French pages, they'll get index.html.fr as a result. There's more information about it in the Apache docs on the subject.
do they need to be
deleted and replaced with my own sites if I use my

You can delete them if you want. The one relating to the Apache manual is the symbolic link called "manual". If you want to be able to type http://localhost/manual/ into your browser to get the manual, I'd leave it.
One warning, though: sometimes, as a result of a software update from Apple, those files will all get placed there again (I don't think they'll overwrite existing files, however). I don't know how often that's happened recently, though, as I've done as Tim suggested in his post and moved all my web sites to their own folders and pretty much ignore the default one.

Is there a way to save Pages documents so they can be opened with MS Word?

Hi,
I have been a PC user my whole life, but just recently purchased a Mac. I bought an iMac and absolutely love it! I'm still trying to figure everything out though. I just purchased iWork 09, but it hasn't arrived yet, so I'm using the trial version right now. I'm currently unemployed so I spend a lot of my time looking for jobs on the internet, and sending out resumes. Every place that accepts online resumes wants them to be in MS Word format. After I bought iWork 09 I was wondering if I had made a mistake and should have bought MS Office for Mac instead? Is there a way to save it as a Word document or format it as something that Word accepts? Also, can you do the same for Numbers-Excel, and Keynote-Powerpoint? Any information you can give me would be a big help.
Thanks

Hi Tom
In iWork '09 you may use

How can you retrieve information from a iCloud backup on a previous iPhone? Backup from old phone is taking up a lot of space, would like to save pics to computer before deleting. How can I open up the backup from previous phone that is now on the iCloud?

I originally had an iPhone 4 but switched service carriers back in June. When I bought the new iPhone 4s, all my information from the iPhone 4 was saved as a backup on the iCloud. On my new phone in the iCloud settings, Storage & Backup, it shows the backup from the iPhone 4. This backup is taking up a lot of space on my phone and I would like to delete to avoid having to purchase more space. However, I know I have pictures on this backup from the iPhone 4 that I would like to view and save on my computer if at all possible before deleting. Is it possible to view the photos from this backup? If so, how? Thank you in advance for any assistance. I hope this makes sense, lol, I'm not very computer literate.

Unfortunately with the issues I mentioned above I don't even think I have enough space for that on the computer! I have literally moved all moy pictures, music, etc. to another drive and all that's left are some small docs and applications. I don't know how to find any more space on the thing and can't get things updated until I fix this...

I have added the Documents folder to the Dock, however when I save a document it doesn't appear in the Documents folder on the Dock, only the Documents folder in the Finder. Is this a quirk, so am I doing something wrong?

I like having my Documents folder on the Dock so I added the Documents folder from the Finder to the Dock. When I save a document to the Documents folder, the saved document appears in the Documents folder from the Finder and not in the Documents folder on the Dock. Why is this happening? And how can I change this?

I suggest you post on the Microsoft Mac forums since it's their software you're having issues with.

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it

When I save a document in Microsoft Word 2010 and then open it, I am unable to read it because it is gibberish with all kinds of symbols and numbers. I understand it has something to do with Adobe Reader. Has anyone else had this problem and how do I correct it?

Put your cursor on the icon of one of your scanned documents. Click on the right button of your mouse. In the list that will appear, put your cursor on Properties and click on the left button of your mouse. In the window that you'll get, read and make a note of what you see next to "File type" and "Opens with". Then post here what you saw.
If you don't understand these instructions, please ask for more details.

Why are some of my links not opening when I save a document as a pdf? They are opening in word.

The links are opening in microsoft word documents but when I save the document to a pdf some of the links are not opening. The links are containing % or lots of extra numbers. How can I prevent this from happening?

What is your operating system? Reader version? How do you convert to PDF?
You write that "some" of the links don't open; what's the difference with links that do open?

Why can't I view ALL my folders when I save a document?

Here's the skinny. I work with dozens of documents and sub folders every day. When I save a document, the list of locations I am given to choose from is incomplete. I can choose a folder, but not the correct subfolder. Is there a way I can select the correct subfolder (even if its buried under 3 subfolders) easily when I save a document? Right now, I save everything to the desktop and at the end of each day I have to drag every single file to its correct location. Please tell me there is some simple way around this?

Click the blue button with the triangle on the Save dialog box.

Having trouble when I save a document

Everytime I save a document and I try to open it again it automatically tries to do so with Word. I have changed the application by default to open pages docs with pages and it still opnes with Word. It won't even show the preview when I use space bar it just shows the pages symbol (little ink bottle)
The docs I created with pages 2008 do have a preview option and open properly with pages.
Any ideas?

If you want to open the documents with Pages, this one must be the first item in the list, not the second one.
And don't forget to click the "Change All" button .

This is a mean one. I don't have time to try and find the cause, but at least some answers to your questions, to hopefully shed some more light on this.
Where was the original destination? iCloud folder.
On another drive? Tried to Save as... to Hard Drive (also changing name of file), always get the same non-descript short Error "Couldn't auto-save document." (slides down from top with a yellow warning triangle). Status to the right of document name is "Not Saved".
Another Server? No access at this time.
I also tried File, Revert to, Browse all versions, to check what I'd be losing. Saw I wasn't losing much and selected the last version and pressed Restore - same error. In the end I just quit Pages and re-opened. The document opened with the last few edits missing (but with the status "Edited" next to the name). I re-edited and could save. Good old habit of saving often.

The above was truncated and garbled a bit and I can't figure out how to edit it. So just to repeat the question a bit more clearly: "I'm using Acrobat XI on Windows. I want to add my company's logotype as a watermark to a PDF document. When I add it as a file (jpeg), the logotype is printed on a white square background (because the jpeg is square with a white background of course). It will be positioned on the PDF document on a light, uniform yellowish color, which I want to show through. I want it to look as thought the logotype was stamped directly on the document. Thanks.

How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X? When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

How can I open a document created in Classic on MacOS X? When I tried to open it, it says Classic Not Supported. What do I do?

The short answer is:
Single click on the document you created in Classic, bring up your 'popup' menu (right click or control-click), select 'Open With' and choose the Mac OS X application you believe will open the document.
If this does not work. Tell us which Classic application you created the document with and which applications you have which you believe will open your 'classic' document.
