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 ask me to save changes when I only open a file and print it?

    I have documents that I open regularly but only want to print (and not make changes to).  But, even if I open them and do nothing other than print them, Pages prompts me to save changes when I close the file.  Why is this? 
    If I've had the document open for a while, I'm always concerned that maybe I've made changes that I want to save and forgotten.

    But it always, always, always ignores it, fruhulda. That's what I'm saying. A brand new document on a brand new computer with a fresh install of iwork, and the same thing happens. Every time I open it and print--Do you want to Save? Do you want to Save?
    For instance, I have a contract form I use regularly and I get that every.single.time even though I always use the same printer, and have hardly ever used the printer that pages has chosen as my default printer (a medium format inkjet with archival ink that costs far too much to use for things like correspondence). It is not my default printer in OS X, incidentally. No matter how many times I tell Pages to save the information about the printer, it will not. And I also get the same nag on the rare occasions when I do use the printer that pages has chosen (usually by mistake because I forgot to change it in the print dialog).
    Perhaps this is a localization-specific bug and that's why you don't see it.
    EDIT And most oddly, it happens just the same in lion with the current version of pages, which I would have thought should have autosaved that change without asking me about it.

  • Why does pages suddenly deny permission to save documents?

    Pages worked beautifuly for several months, but suddenly began denying permission to save either text documents or texts w/attachments.  I have not changed any settings or programs and therefore do not know how to remedy the situation that suddenly developed.

    Have you done any system updates lately? Using Disk Utility to repair permissions after system & software updates is a good practice. Deleting the Pages preference file is a good troubleshooting step. Go to (your account) > Library > Preferences & delete the com.apple.iwork.pages.plist & restart Pages. The door to the user's Library is hidden in Lion but it is easy to open. In Finder, hold down the Option key while clicking on the Go menu & your users Library will appear about halfway down the list.
    To make it easier for others to help, please include your profile with OS X version with your posts. It also helps to include the version of specific software if that's what your question is about.

  • 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?

  • Why is pages stalling whenever I save?

    Why does pages stall every time I try and save a document?

    We don't know.
    We also don't know what version of pages you are referring to or any other details, because you have not told us.

    why does fcpx suddenly stops reading audio files? ever since i upgraded to Yosemite. Than when I check it on my hard drive it doesn't work as well. Only this file. Am in a trouble of delivering now. Any help?

    Could be systems logs or some other system file growing.
    Use OmniDiskSweeper or DaisyDisk to map what's being used.

  • 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.

  • Why does it sometimes take 30 seconds for the dock to come up after bringing the curser to the bottom of the page?

    Why does it sometimes take 30 seconds for the dock to come up after bringing the curser to the bottom of the page?

    Try doing a Dock restart using the following Terminal command:
    killall Dock
    Log out/in and test. If that doesn't work.
    You need to look in your user Library/Applications Support/Dock for the .db. Use the Finder “Go To Folder” command. Enter ~/ Library/Applications Support/Dock.  Move the .db to your desktop.
    Then try a dock reset.
    Applications/Utilities/Terminal enter the command
    killall Dock
    Log out/in test. If it works okay, delete the .db from the desktop.
    If the Dock is the same, return the .db to where you got them from, overwriting the newer ones.
    If you prefer to make your user library permanently visible, use the Terminal command found below.
    Show User Library
    You might want to bookmark the command. I had to use it again after I installed 10.8.4. I have also been informed that if you drag the user library to Finder it will remain visible.

  • Why does pages enter a paragraph after a page break?

    Why does pages enter a paragraph after a page break?  This comes into play when I am using bullets and numbers.

    Because Page Breaks and Section Breaks are returns. Use soft returns [Line breaks] if that is what you want.

    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?

    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.

    So remind me. How much is MsWord?

  • Why does my Ipad keep going black and then back to the apple logo.  It eventually goes to the start page but then blacks out again.  I have already rebooted several times with no luck!!

    Why does my Ipad 2 keep going black ahd back to the apple logo.  It eventually goes to the home screen and allows me to try something else but after about 30 seconds it happens again.  I have already rebooted several times? 

    Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
    Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
    If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings
