Pages no longer shares via mail: Apple Support Communities

Pages no longer shares via mail: Apple Support Communities. Forum Member TPryts has a good workaround. Other people post other suggestions on the thread as well.

Work around for Pages not sharing via Mail.

I discovered that when I created a test pages document. ( This is a test and only a test of the Pages share via Mail script) and shared it via Mail all was well.

So it must be the org document I was working with.

I copied the content into a new blank and saved it under a different name.That worked

I got to thinking about this and tried the org document again it still would not work.

This time I re-saved it as another name. That also cured it.

I’m not sure what in the original document caused the fault. Could a file name cause it?

Thanks for the feed back

Stories from my past: I won’t pay you until everything is perfect

Note: the plate says - "The quick brown f...
Image via Wikipedia

I had a customer once named Ned. Ned was a farmer who was very particular. I had been working and fixing various things for about two hours and the last thing he asked me to do was to align his check printing. Now I had never done this task before. It required the check to automatically align horizontally in a tractor feed printer.

I read the printer manual on how to accomplish this and it required measuring the distance from the top, bottom and sides of the check and inputting that into the printer. After about six tries it was very close and Ned said that since I couldn’t seem to align it, that he wouldn’t pay me for my work. He was frustrated because he thought it was a simple matter. I had told him that I had never done it before but it should be possible and he agreed to give me some time to try it. He wasn’t really a patient person however. I said that I will align it perfectly and he can go do something else until I get it done, and if I can’t then I won’t charge him anything.

On the next try it perfectly aligned and we printed another half-dozen checks as a test. It was really quite amazing to see it automatically line up. Ned was happy and more than a bit disappointed that I actually got it to work. I asked him if there was anything else and he said no. He paid me what we agreed on and I left. Ned called me again to work on his stuff but I had better customers than him at that point. I thanked him, but told him I was too busy to help. A person’s time is valuable who can solve the problem.

Xerox Workcentre 7232 Printing with OSX …

The way a photocopier works

This is the first time I have heard this happening.  I wouldn’t have suspected this.  Normally the issue tends to be some networking/client end problem.  Thanks 2cute2b2smart:

Turns out this POS had a corrupted driver ON the Xerox machine and the tech spent three hours finding a whitepaper on it and downloading the fix. I could not have solved this in a million years.

I didn’t really know that these complicated copying machines have hard drives and operating systems of their own. Since both of our identical machines had this issue, I wonder how many other people have given up on color printing.

Turns out it’s also only a problem when printing on heavy gloss paper.

I hope this helps somebody else!

Wireless input devices: Bluetooth frequently asked questions.  Some great answers and information here that I have not read anywhere else.  For example did you know that even though Bluetooth has a 7 device theoretical limit, the practical limit is 3 devices?  Very cool to know.
