  • 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 can't export any files from pages unless I create a duplicate file. I can't export to doc, docx or pdf! Heeeelp!

    I can't export any files from pages unless I create a duplicate file. I can't export to doc, docx or pdf! Heeeelp!

    what version of pages?
    what is the files type that you are trying to export?
    what do you mean unless I create a duplicate file? the whole point of export is that you get a new file with a new format

  • My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them (or download and open them) from an email. I do I get this to stop? It's really aggravating.

    My mac is converting Word and Excel files into Pages and Numbers files when I click to open them from an email. Downloading them and opening them doesn't help. How do I make this stop? I don't use iLife and don't want to; my clients are using Office and it's easier for me, except when I have to copy and paste everything they send me from an iLife file back to Word and Excel. Help!!! It's like Apple has become Microsoft, forcing us to use their apps.

    Do you have Word & Excel installed, if yes, navigate in the finder to an example of each, right click and select 'Get Info' scroll down to 'Open With' and select the appropriate program, check the box that says 'Change All'

  • Passwords removed from Pages and Numbers when opened in iOS

    I'm I missing something or is it expected that passwords will be removed from Pages and Numbers files once they are opened in iOS?
    gbs

    Or at least not perserved.
    Do we know if iOS 6 will perserve the passwords from a desktop doc?

  • Can't i upload files from pages to gmail email

    so when ever i try to attach a file from pages to my email to send it it doesn't work.. it says 1k and attachment failed ..

    In reality, Pages v5.2.2 is a directory with files in it, not the appearance of a single document that the Finder presents as a user friendly gesture. In order to send a Pages v5.2.2 directory, as a single document that Gmail will permit, you must right-click on the Pages document, and from the contextual menu, choose compress. Now, you effectively have a compressed directory with a zip extension added to your original filename. Gmail and dropbox can now deal with it.
    To unzip that Pages document, you only need to double-click on it in the Mac Finder. In Apple Mail, you can use Quick Look on the attachment, and ask Quick Look to unzip it for you and view in Pages v5.2.2.

  • How can I convert my Appleworks 6 word processor and spreadsheets files to Pages and Numbers for OS 10.9?

    My disc drive on my 6 year old MacBook died.  I bought an iMac with OS10.9, but it will not allow me to open Appleworks files from my backup drive.  Does anyone know of a method to transfer or open  Appleworks 6 files in Pages or Numbers for OS 10.9?  I need those files.
    Thanks

    Hello,
    > It coped much better with my Draw documents than the older version
    Normally, I have added many functionnalities, retrieving the bitmap, gradient, ... But there remains some problem when a group/frame shares some shapes and a picture or when a shape crosses differents pages, the result can be become bad, ...
    > a number of lines missing on page 3
    I suspect there are here, ie. if you select in page 3 the big gray square with two ellipses and remove it, there seem to reappear ( I do not know why this square insists to hide the other shapes even when I put it in background, ....)
    > the lines are very much thicker than they should be
    All objects are thicker than they should be, mainly because I need to create a embedded Odg for each shapes. This will change in LibreOffice 4.3 because we have added in the parent library of libmwaw, functions to create shapes directly ; at least for line, rectangle, ellipse, probably not for other shapes...
    > I can add that to my page when it gets out of beta, (Perhaps you could announce it in this forum as it is relevant to AW and I don't want to keep checking the LO website.)
    Ok, I will try to add a message when LibreOffice 4.2 will appear ( note: as I only write an extension used in LibreOffice, I also do not keep checking the LO website, I only check now and then that all is working ).

  • I have nearly 6000 .cwk documents - some word and some spreadsheet.  How can I mass convert these to pages and numbers?

    Have been using Mac from early on.  My present MacBook Pro has 3 previous computers and information installed on it.
    The question is, I have been using Appleworks/Clarisworks for years for my business.  Would like to save that history before moving to Lion.  I know you can convert the files individually from .cwk file to pages, but I have nearly 6,000 files to convert.
    Is there some way to convert them to pages and numbers  or .doc files in mass?

  • HT4623 The software pages and numbers are corrupt. How can I download software again to reinstall on iPad.

    I downloaded pages and numbers via iTunes on my laptop, then transferred to iPad.  Software is corrupt  it won't open. On the laptop it tells me the dies are corrupt.  How do I download then again since the corrupt versions are in iTunes.

    You can only do this via iTunes. Remove the ones in iTunes and redownload.
    Note that there are different versions for iDevices and computers. They cannot be interchanged, and they must be purchased separately.

  • PAGES 09 CAN'T OPEN FILE FROM PAGES APP IPAD IOS 1.7

    Hi,
    This morning I was trying to open a file from the iCloud window of my Pages 0.9 - 4.2  on my iMac (Os 10.8.3) when I did so the window told me that I needed a new version of Pages and it sent my to the appstore, pointing to Pages 09 4.3.
    I was shocked...another 17 euro to buy the some software I already have!!! Anyway...I was in a rush so I had to buy it...I tried to do so but the AppStore didn't want to sell it to me! It said: "This app is already istalled on your Mac, check for updates". Of course there were no updates to be downloaded...so I'm here asking for you help!
    Thank you!
    PS: the file I was trying to open had been created a few hours erlier on my iPad (updated to the latest IOS, 1.7)

    Go to this page http://www.apple.com/support/pages/ and look at the right side. There are links to iWork 9.3. Doenload it and update. Hopefully it will work.

  • How can I open files from Appleworks and Pages 4.3 in Mavericks?

    I have documents I created in Appleworks and Pages 4.3 that I can't open in Pages 5.1 using Mavericks.  How can I open those files?

    Mavericks is the Operating System (OSX).
    LibreOffice [free] may be able to open your AppleWorks files but probably not perfectly.
    Pages '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but will alter/damage them.

  • Problems opening files in pages and keynote from iCloud. Other IOS-devices show no problem

    I have problems in getting files opened on computer from Icloud. For both Pages and Keynote. Happens when they have been opened on Iphone og Ipad 

    I had this problem this morning also - couldn't open a Numbers file on my mac.  It hasn't been used on ipad or iphone but was shared with another mac user who accessed yesterday.  Now I also can't save a text edit file.  It is sitting on my screen but when I go to save it I get a message saying "the file untitled.rtf couldn't be opened".  My other numbers files (not shared) in icloud also get the same message when I try to open them.  I think this is an icloud server problem.  Hopefully they will fix it quickly.  I can open the files by going to icloud.com and using the webapps.

  • I can't read my files from "pages" app on iPad after taping on "copy from iTunes". I see the name of the file but when I tap on it nothing happens.

    I can't open my files (pdf) from "pages" app on ipad after taping on "copy from itunes". I see the name of the file but when I tap on it nothing happens.

    The acsm file is not the book, it is a ticket to get the book.  I sometimes get library books online, here is what I do.
    1. Start ADE on the computer
    2. Go to library website and find the book I want to download.
    3. Click on the download link
    4. In windows 7 a box opens asking whether I want to open( or run) or save the acsm file
    5. Click open/run and ADE downloads the book into the "Library"
    6. Transfer the book (epub file) to the reader.

  • Can't download multiple files from page without refresh with Safari

    Safari 5.1 on imac osx 10.6.8.  Just downloaded 5.1  and now I can't download more than 1 file at a time without refreshing the page (or paging back, then forward again) for each download. What is going on?  How do i fix this?

    Quit Safari.
    Open a Finder window select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. Then open the Library folder, then the Caches folder, then the com.apple.Safari folder.
    Move the cache.db file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
    Relaunch Safari. Try Downloads.
