Why does Pages keep creating a new folder everytime I save?

There must be some easy explanation for this but there's a weird quirk in Pages '09 that I don't know how to turn off.
Every time I save a document, not only does it save, but it creates a new folder with some new files labeled buildVersionHistory.plist and index.xml and then a subfolder called Quicklook within which there's a thumbnail.jpg.
No idea why it's doing this but it's really clogging up my folders and it seems totally unnecessary. Can anybody help me turn it off?

Hi Michael
Welcome to the forum.
Do you have Stuffit installed and are saving to the desktop?
Because in that case it is Stuffit decompressing the Pages document's package.
Just save to your document folder.

    Why does mail keep creating a new junk mail folder at the bottom of my folders. This is in addition to the standard junk mail folder.

  • Why does Mail keep creating a Junk folder that I don't want

    I don't want Mail to filter for Junk because it always gets it wrong. I have another, better filter. I have unchecked the box. Nevertheless, Mail persists in creating a Junk folder and occasionally putting messages into it. Many of these messages are perfectly good and go unnoticed for a few days before I notice them in the new Junk folder. I keep deleting the folder, but eventually it comes back again.
    Why is it doing this, and how can I stop it??

    Thanks for your interest, but unchecking 'Enable junk mail filtering' hides the junk folder, and it will not be regenerated unless Apple Mail unilaterally decides it wants to put something in it. This problem only started for me last year, and for years before that, I did not have a Junk folder. My own spam filter (Spamsieve) works perfectly well.
    As I have unchecked 'Enable junk mail filtering', the two options you mention do not exist: they are greyed out.

  • Why can't I creat a new folder in my hard drive?

    When I try to create a new folder and error pops up.  It reads: "The operation could not be completed. An unexpected error occurred (error code - 50)."
    Does anyone know why this would be happening?

    If the name is too long or has characters other than letters, numbers, or the following
    then that is likely the issue.

  • ITunes keeps creating a new folder called "Music".

    Hello. This is really bothering me.
    I have my music stored on a server in a folder called "Music". All of the meta data etc is perfect as i went through every track and edited them as needs be. After doing a fresh install on my Mac, i draged n dropped the contents of the "Music" folder into iTunes where it all imports with absolutly no problems (i had iTunes set to NOT edit track names etc with the location i'm dragging from set to my iTunes media directory). Once everything was back in iTunes, i rechecked the box that allows iTunes to organise and edit files again. As soon as a check that box iTunes decides to randomly move some artists into a new "Music" folder located inside the "Music" folder that i created (/Volumes/Media/Music/Music/).
    Why is this happening? I see no reason why iTunes should move only some artists into a seperate folder with the same name as the parent folder i created.
    Cany anyone help? My OCD is going mental haha.
    Thanks,
    Chris.

    Hello.
    If i set the location to /Volumes/Media/ it does not creat the "Music" folder and it put's all of the artist folders under /Volumes/Media/.
    Are there any settings i can refresh or something?
    I've tried deleteing my library and re-importing countless times now. I noticed that tracks/artists/albums are moved to the second "Music" folder once i play them in iTunes. I want iTunes to rename the files and stuff, this is how i got all of the metadata right in the first place, but why is it creating another "Music" folder? And why doesn't it do it if i set the location to /Volumes/Media/? I've never had this problem before with the exact same set up and media.
    Can someone please explain how to start from scratch incase i did something wrong along the way which is causeing this issue?
    Cheers,
    Chris.

  • Why Can't I create a new folder in yahoo email? (I can if I use Internet Explorer)

    I still use yahoo email a lot. I am also a big fan of firefox. But today I noticed a problem. I wanted to move an email to a new folder but I can't get yahoo to give me a prompt so that I can put in a folder name. Also I wanted to print an email an email and I can't get the print box to come up. Usually all I have to do is click on actions and then print message. Firefox usually brings up it's popup blocker, and then I tell it it is ok to allow popups from yahoo. But right now it won't give me that. I tried turning off my popup blocker, and that didn't seem to help either. I also noticed that whenever I click on things in my email stuff seems kinda slow. It says "loading" for while and then does or doesn't do what I want it to do. At first I thought maybe the problem is flash player. I did a flash player re install, but that didn't help. I decided to bring out Internet Explorer just in case that I could get my email to work with that browser. I was surprised to discover that everything worked perfectly in Internet Explorer. Then I decided maybe Firefox should be reinstalled. I uninstalled Firefox and then downloaded a new copy of it. Then I rebooted, and installed the new copy. The browser is noticeably faster and smoother then the old install but I am still having trouble with it and my yahoo email.

    I just did a test in google chrome. I can not create a folder under google chrome, but I can create a folder under Internet Explorer.

    Hi,
    Based on my understanding, your issue is you cannot create folder in Windows 7, right?
    Did you fix it?
    This issue might be caused by corrupted system file.
    If I am right and you haven't resolve your issue, we could try the following method:

  • Why does the save page command create a new folder

    I am new to CS5. When I "save" a file I've modified, or use "save as" -
    either one seems to save the page in a complete folder including all graphics, etc.
    Want to merely save the page with its corrections in the usual way.
    Is there a setting in CS5 that does this that I can opt to turn off?
    Many thank for any help on this problem. Al

    (1) Our office computer has the full website - and the same folders that 
    are on the server. Essentially a mirror image. We were saving the corrected
    html  file into the folders we had already set up on the computer. Then FTP'd
    it  later.
    (2) We set up the local site in DMW indicating that we will not be using 
    "server technology", "edit local copies on my machine and then upload to  the
    server," "files stored on my computer", "how to connect to remote server - 
    none" (we use a separate FTP program to upload).

  • HT4864 Why can't I create a new folder in my iCloud mailbox?

    iCloud email uses IMAP protocol, correct? So why do I not see an option to create additional folders in my email acct?

    trying on ipad, iphone and new iMAC. Trying to get same functionality I had in Outlook for managing email. I now understand I need to use email with IMAP protocol, and my current primary email provider (Frontier) does not allow that option. So before I dump Outlook and switch email accounts to an IMAP enabled provider I want to know how I will be able to manage email with Apple's mail program. Since I have all these new Apple devices I want to be able to manage all email from any of them. I understand iCloud supports IMAP and already have an iCloud email account so thought I would start there. Thanks for any suggestions.

  • Why is PowerPoint so slow, and why does it keep creating "temp" files ?

    This is a recent problem which does not seem to be manifesting in other software (not Word, not Excel for example): my ppt is SLOW SLOW SLOW ! I am working in a very very simple presentation -- text only, black & white, no graphics, less than 15 pages -- and it takes at least 30 seconds to save, ages to open, ages to quit. I'm tired of watching that beach ball rotate !
    Just noticed that for some reason it is also creating "temp" files -- "Powerpoint Temp, Powerpoint Temp 1", etc etc.
    I run Software update automatically each week so should be up to date on all MS and Apple software. My 80G hard disk has 14G of free space, and I just ran "Terminal" earlier this week.

  • Why can't I create a new folder on an external hard rive

    I have two external hardrives that are self powered and require no outlet.  I've begun to use all of the memory on one and want to use another.  I plug in the second and creating a folder isn't an option.  I set up the first hard drive through my mac, but the second was given to me as a gift and I didn't have to set it up with my mac.  How can I solve this problem?

    It sounds like the second disk drive is not formated so that the Mac can write to it.
    You are going to have to reformat it to HFS+.
    If you do that all of the data on it will be erased so backup anything of value first.

  • Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

    Why does stuffit open and create a new folder every time I save a pages document?

    Because you are saving it to the desktop, Pages documents are actually zipped files and Stuffit is set to uncompress desktop files.
    Either don't save to the desktop (bad practice) or check the preferences in Stuffit to see if you can turn off unstuff files on desktop.
