When I use Pages to create my newsletter, I get a small graphic in the header when I insert a page and I can't get rid of it.
I use Pages to create the newsletter for a club that I belong to. Just lately (within the last week) when I go to insert a page, I find a little graphic of a union jack in the header on the left side. No matter what I do, I can not remove it! Anyone else have this problem?
You merge personalised details from either a Numbers spreadsheet set up correctly for the address fields or from your *Address Book*, where you can create a Group with your subscribers in it. When you drag a Group onto your Pages layout it generates as many copies as there are people in your Group.
They will however all be in the same document, unless you manually drag each VCard individually to your layout and save that out to each name.
You will then need to print each person's newsletter to a .pdf to insert into email.
None of this is automated like in MsOffice. It would be best to look for a dedicated email distribution program at:

When I touch "photos" the heading "Albums" is covering 'camera roll' and I can't see my pictures. What do I do to fix this?
Hi Susan. Try a reset: Push and hold the Sleep/On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. Release buttons.

Creating PDFs using Pages and Mail
Hi,
I'm a contractor and I use Pages and Mail to to create PDFs of invoices that I email to clients in the form of attachments. I have Mail set up to to send only Windows friendly attachments, and to put them at the end of emails. I have one client, the facilities director of a large community college, who consistently cannot open the attachments; he can read the text of the emails, but he cannot open the attachments. He has to send them to his IT department, where they use a mac computer of some kind to open the attachments, which they send them back to him. I've discussed this with their IT department, and they've told me that they have to use a mac to open my attachments. If anyone can offer some advice on this issue, I'd appreciate it.
CaoimI know from my own experience that although there should be no problems with Mail's attachments, just once in a while recipients have the problems you describe.
The solution that worked for me 100% reliably was to install the paid for plug-in Attachment Tamer from: lokiware.info
You can use it for free to test it before committing to purchase, but I'm pretty sure all your recipients will be able to cope with all your attachments.
To elaborate, I used to have to send numerous attachments every day to mostly PC users. Randomly some would complain that I'd either forgotten to include the attachment (I hadn't) or they couldn't read it/open it/save it, etc. It's quite likely the fault was in the way their email client was configured. All I know is that as soon as I installed Attachment Tamer (it was Mail Attachments Iconizer back then) I never had any more complaints. For the knowledge that I wasn't going to be pestered into trying different ways of sending the files I was happy to pay for the plugin.
(Usual caveat: I have no connection with Lokiware, but very happy to recommend their product). -
When I click on the converted PDF n my downloads, I receive a message saying 'invalid file format'.
Could that be because I use Pages and not Word?
If so, how can I convert my PDF's to Pages so I can modify the documents?Hi Kathy,
I'm not very familiar with Pages, but I did just read on Apple's website that it does import .docx files. What happens when you open Pages, and then choose File > Open to open the .docx files?
Best,

When I open my email account thru Firefox, there is a blinking message in my task bar stating that "lorainemihiril" sent me a message. I DO NOT know this person, I can't make it go away and I NEVER use instant messaging. How do I get rid of this??? Sometimes there is more than one of these flashing messages all with the same name.
Disable Yahoo Messenger in your Yahoo Mail account.
Use the arrow on the right of your account name to go offline or sign out.

If I am using pages and deleted my page by mistake how do I go back? I have not saved or deleted the page.
You have deleted your page, but you have not deleted your page?
Which is it?
If you never saved it it is gone. If you saved it in Lion (OSX 10.7) with Pages 09 v4.1, there should be versions available when you mouse overv the document name at the top of the window.

If I use pages and numbers on a Mac can I save the documents as an extension that I can use on a PC?
If I use pages and numbers on a Mac mini can I then save the documents as extensions that can be opened on a PC?
You can save Pages documents as Word documents and save a Numbers document as an Excel file. In Lion you can go to File>Export and then save as Word or Excel.
I assume that there is a way to do it in SL or Leopard as well. -
I will no longer use Pages because I can't open any rtf's and that is the majority of my files. For years I have saved all files as rtf to allow me to open them on windows and with any word process program. Now the new version of Pages will not open them. Any ideas?
You can let Apple know you want this feature back via
http://www.apple.com/feedback
and find another word processor.

DynamicLink Media Server is not available. I can't open any video file in Photoshop CC and when it does, Photoshop freezers and I can't do anything else. I'm using OS X 10.9.4-3.1 GHz Intel-16 GB DDR3. Any help please?
Indicas que no puedes abrir ningun archivo de video, se supone que has probado varios formatos, mp4, mov,..
Has actualizado el OSX a 10.9 ?, funcionaba antes? La versión de Photoshop es la CC, no la CC 2014?
En el menú de Ayuda>Actualizaciones, cual es el resultado, dice que esta al día?
Tienes abiertas otras aplicaciones?
Prueba a cerrar todo, espera media minuto y abre Photoshop a ver que ocurre.

Does anyone know how to use pages so you can export pdfs from the internet and automatically drag words from the document into the file name of the pdf (i.e., author, title of a scientific paper). For example, if I am downloading a paper by smith called "Surgery" that was published in 2002, it will automatically set the file name in the download to smith- surgery 2002. I have heard pages is smart enough to do this.
thank youPages can export only its own documents. They may be exported as PDF, MS Word, RTF or Text files.
Pages can import (ie. Open a file as, or Insert a file into, a Pages document) documents in several formats, but won't rename the document as you describe. Documents that can be Opened (eg. Text, AppleWorks 6 WP, MS Word files) are converted to Pages documents, and retain their original names, with .pages replacing the original file extension. Files that can be Inserted (generally .jpg, .pdf and other image files) become part of the existing Pages file and lose their names.
It may be possible, using AppleScript, to extract the text you want and to Save a Pages file using that text as the filename, but that would depend in part on being able to identify which text is wanted and which is not.
How will the script determine where the author's name begins and where it ends?
How will the script recognize the beginning and of the title, an decide how much of the title to use in the filename?
How will the script recognize the year of publication?
For papers published in a specific journal, with a strict format for placing each of these pieces on information, or containing the needed information as searchable meta data in the file, this might be possible. But it would require knowledge of the structure of these files, and would probably handle only papers published in a specific journal or set of journals.
Outside my field of knowledge, but there are some talented scripters around here who might want to take a closer look.
Best of luck.

I have a new iMac using Pages and Microsoft Word, Excel, etc. for mac. I'd like to transfer older ClarisWorks and AppleWorks files to my new computer. Can this be done?Additionally, Numbers can read/open spreadsheets. However, anything done in the drawing/painting part cannot be read by any application - you would have to export those (on the old machine) as a .jpg or pdf. You could then open them, but no longer edit or change the content.

I'm using pages. How can I change the shape of a text box to arch?
You can't do that in Pages. If you need text in an arch use Art text 2 lite, free from the Mac AppStore.

I only see the phone numbers of my contacts when using iMessage on my MAC, whereas I see the names on my iPhone. Why, and how can I make it so I see the names (and pics) on my MAC?
Thanks Eric, but that was already turned on. I just now tried turning it off and on again, no change. Actually, I"m more interested in seeing the names than the pictures. I now only see the phone numbers and generic avatars where pics would be.
