Why does Pages (from iWork '09) quit sporadically and repeatedly?

I recently installed Snow Leopard and iWorks 09. Now Pages quits, often after I've saved a document, and other times for no apparent reason. Occasionally Safari now closes by itself, too. Has anyone experienced the same problem? Anyone know how to correct?

Hi Abram
Welcome to the forum.
Quite a number of users have experienced problems with iWork in Snow Leopard.
For many of them merely updating to the latest version v4.03 does the trick. For others checking out the fonts and eliminating oddball duplication and formats has helped.

  • Why does AirPrint from iWork apps use the photo tray?

    Hi,
    I just bought a new Canon Pixma MG6250 as I read it had AirPrint support.
    What it also has is double paper trays - one for photo paper and one for standard.
    Now for some reason, printing from the Pages iWork app selects the photo tray. If there is no paper in the photo tray it will not print, even if the document is plain text and there is plenty of paper in the standard tray.
    This is not the way I expected it to work. Can anyone confirm whether it is the same on other printers?
    Thanks!
    /b

    Again, the problem likely resides with AirPrint, not the Canon printer.  AirPrint doesn't have the capability to allow you to select trays, although in theory it should know the difference between a Pages document and a photo and use the proper paper.  For whatever reason, Airprint is telling the printer to pull photo paper when printing a Pages document.  It may be a default setting because the Pixma is really designed to print photos primarily, but who knows....
    Have you tried using the Canon printing app for the iPad?  I ask because I have an HP LaserJet, and while AirPrint works fine, the HP Printing App allows for a much wider range of settings when I print.  For example, I can choose photo size, type of paper, etc.  Photos printed using Airprint are only 4x6, while with the App I can choose 2x3, 4x6, or 5x7.  I can still print wirelessly using the App, just like AirPrint.  I don't know if the Canon app only allows photos, or if other documents (Word, PDF, etc.) can also be printed (they can with the HP app).  It's worth a look, though.

  • Why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?

    why does pages suddenly refuse to save a document back to our server after editing?
    and can i specify a default save-as location?

    The default save location is the one used to open the document.
    The default save_to location is the last used one.
    Both are stored in memory and written in the application's preferences file when we close it.
    It's quite easy to change the defaults in the preferences file but we must do that before opening the app and if we use an other location once the app is open, we will lost the defined default location.
    From my point of view, the best scheme is to use an Applescript to save.

  • Why does Pages app have no 'labels' template?

    Why does "Pages" have no 'labels' template?

    That bug was introduced in Pages 5.1. This workaround:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/24857600#24857600
    ... gets rid of the com.apple.MediaLibraryService process and also brings memory usage by Pages itself back in line. Involves removing (should archive them and restore prior to applying a software update) a number of plug-ins, may or may not affect functionality (I have not noticed anything, apart from making the computer usable again).
    Current version of Numbers is also affected; without this "fix," a second com.apple.MediaLibraryServicelaunches, also consuming more than 1 GB of real memory, and Numbers itself uses multiples of the memory it should. Removing the files described also restores Numbers to normal functionality.

  • How do I install Pages from iWorks on my iMac onto the iPad?

    How do I install Pages from iWork on my iMac onto my iPad?

    You don't. The Mac version of Pages works on Macs - not on iPad.
    You need to buy the iPad version of Pages from the AppStore, and install that on your iPad:

  • Why does pages prompt the save dialogue every time i save?

    Just like every other word editing program, I should be able to just click save or push COMMAND S to save easily without getting the Save dialogue, once I saved for the first time.
    Why does Pages insist on bringing up the Save or Save As dialogue box every time I want to save a version of the document?  Once I saved for the first time, name the file, and save it to my hard drive, I should not have to deal with this anymore, unless I specifically click Save As....  I should be able to click Save or push COMMAND S and have it save in the background as with every document editing program.
    Is there a way to change this?

    You are obviously confused in thinking that Pages is a MsWord substitute which it is not, it is its own program.
    When you export to .doc you are doing exactly that, making a copy in a different format to the one you are working in.
    TextEdit can save to .doc and Save to it as can several other applications, but none of those are MsWord either.
    If you want to work in MsWord, why not use MsWord itself?

  • I cannot get pages from iWork's to share.  Do I need a new version of pages for Mountain Lion?

    I cannot get pages from iworks to share on Mountain Lion.  Do I need a new version of pages for Mountain Lion instead of iworks?

    You need Pages 09 (Version 4) to take advantage of Mountain Lion's iCloud features. You don't say what version you have.

    Why does Pages change tab settings randomly in a document?

    Have no clue what is happening to make the font change style. Are you hitting any keyboard shortcuts or is a syle applied to those cells?
    There is no automatic Calendar generator, but Pages will generate sequences in tables and:

    Why does pages suggest endnote to manage citation? Pages is 19$ but end note is 250$! I think pages should manage citation itself like ms word.

  • HT1414 why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

    why does my iPhone 5s shut down unpredictably and needs to be reset every time to start back up?

    Hi Cyprus11,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If your iPhone is shutting down unexpectedly, I recommend going through these troubleshooting steps:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion. Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    After at least 30 minutes, if:
    The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
    The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
    Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
    If the display turns on, go to step 4.
    If the display remains black, go to next step.
    Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Best,
    Jeremy

  • HT201250 If time machine backups hourly.  Why does it need to backup daily, weekly and monthly

    If time machine backups hourly.  Then why does it need to backup daily, seekly, and monthly?

    It doesn't.
    What it does is discard intermediate backups at the end of 24 hrs and keep just three spaced backups from the previous day.
    At the end of the next day, that day's will be reduced to 3, and the previous 3 trimmed to one; the last backup of that day.
    Daily backups are kept for a month, then trimmed to the last backup of the week.
    The weekly backups are kept until the disc runs out of space and TM starts deleting the oldest ones.
