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 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 freeze whenever I try to save a document with my wifi turned on?

    Whenever I try to save a pages document and my wifi is turned on, I get the spinning beachball and it takes a very long time for a document to save, even if the filesize is very small. I have the same issue when I'm using microsoft office as well. However, when I go to save and the wifi is turned off, there are no issues and it saves fine.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Given what you wrote,
    it's not a Pages problem but a System's one.
    Better to ask in a forum dedicated to this one.

  • 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?

  • Pages has no auto save or document recovery? seriously?what century is this?

    pages has no auto save or document recovery? seriously?

    Are you reading carefully ?
    LIon (OSX 10.7) embed an Autosave and a Versions feature at system level.
    iWork components are using them.
    The question and the given answer were dedicated to apps running under older systems.

    It's perfectly odd to assume that an application deliver this or that feature.
    It's perfectly wrong to write that "most every Apple - heck most every modern product does it automatically".
    TextEdit did that but iLife apps didn't and I'm not sure that Apple's Pro apps were doing that before Lion.
    More, some users are ranting in several threads against the Autosave and Versions features introduced by Lion.

  • Why is it that whenever I download a song from Itunes that a small grey round button appears next to the song (apparently this is the download progress button), but when I press on it to resume, the song disappears. This wasn't happening before.

    Why is it that whenever I download a song from itunes that a small grey button appears next to the song (apparently this is the download progress) but whenever I hit it to resume, the song disappears. I am getting annoyed with having to copy the songs manually onto my phone. Thanks for anyones help. Cheers

    If your country's iTunes Store allows you to redownload purchased tracks, I'd delete your current copies of the dodgy tracks and try redownloading fresh copies. For instructions, see the following document:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store
    Otherwise, I'd report the problem to the iTunes Store.
    Log in to the Store. Click on "Account" in your Quick Links. When you're in your Account information screen, go down to Purchase History and click "See all".
    Find the items that are not playing properly. If you can't see "Report a Problem" next to the items, click the "Report a problem" button. Now click the "Report a Problem" links next to the items.

  • I try to convert word 2011 document to a pages 09 document but save as only does 08

    I have Pages 09 ver. 4.3 both on my iMac and on my iPad. I have my resume saved on my mac as a word 2011 docx but, when I try to convert it to pages in Save as... it only wants to save the document as a Pages 08 document and that will not work on my iPad mini!
    I have know way to put this in my iPad Mini.
    I need some help please.
    This is critical to me as per I'm looking for work.

    Bip,
    The current version of Pages for your iPad is 1.7.2, I believe.
    Word documents are converted to Pages documents not by Save as, but by Opening in Pages.
    Pages 09 on your iMac Saves as Pages 09 by default, and can Save As... to Pages08 as an option.
    I wish you well in your search for work.

  • I am creating a form, it shows 1 page, but when I save it as a PDF Form there are 2 pages, 1 is blank. How do I get rid of the blank page in the form?

    I am creating a form, it shows 1 page, but when I save it as a PDF Form there are 2 pages, 1 is blank. How do I get rid of the blank page in the form?

    Hi,
    You may open the original form in FormsCentral and toggle to “Page View” at the lower right corner. Adjust the page content to make sure no page breaks in this view.
    Thanks,

  • How do my boss and I share documents via iCloud? I log in as her to download a Pages doc, edit, then save to iCloud again but it does not save to hers. Even if I'm logged in as her.

    I log in as her to download a Pages doc, edit, then save to iCloud again but it does not save to hers. Even if I'm logged in as her.
    Thanks in advance!

    This only works if you add her account as your primary accoun on your device and enable syncing "Documents & Data" in "Settings >iCloud".

  • Do I need Pages in order to save my word document to the iCloud?

    I am new to using iCloud and have been trying to save Word documents to the cloud.  Even when the iCloud has been properly activated on my mac, when I try to save my document within Word, I do not get iCloud as an option in the dropdown menu for locations to save to.  I wasn't sure if I need to purchase Pages in order to save Microsoft Word documents.  That doesn't seem to make sense to me, but I'm not sure what else I might be doing incorrectly.

    As long as you are using Mountain Lion (10.8.x) yes, you'll see this:
    You will need 2 copies of Pages, one for your Mac and one for the iPad.

  • In Pages how do I save a file with another name

    In Pages how do I save a file with another name?

    I don't know if there is a less cumbersome way to do this (I'm still pretty new to Lion) but This is what I do - since "Save As" seems to be gone with Lion.
    I create a duplicate document - then click the red button to close the document - and a dialog box pops up and asks if you want to save the changes - I change the name in there and then save the file under the new name.
    You can also save the copy to the desktop - get info - and then change the name if the finder window.
    I copied this from the Pages help area. These help instructions were created pre-Lion I'm sure.
    Saving a Copy of a Document
    If you want to make a copy of your document—to create a backup copy or multiple versions, for example—you can save the document using a different name or location. (You can also automate saving a backup version, as Automatically Saving a Backup Version of a Document describes.)
    To save a copy of a document: 
    Choose File > Save As and specify a name and location.
    The document with the new name remains open. To work with the previous version, choose File > Open Recent and choose the previous version from the submenu.

  • Why this page has missing elements in FFox 8.0 ( running Lion 10.7)

    Why this page does not display the missing .png's on the bottom.
    looks fine in all other browsers
    http://www.jordieshapiro.com/home.html

    This is a Mac-specific bug in Firefox with solid black images (it was introduced in 8, I think and is fixed in 10). The site is fine, just hitting a weird edge-case bug and this shouldn't happen after Firefox 10 launches in 6 weeks.
