Mar 05, 2017 Thank you. When I moved my files (including about 10,000 pictures) from my external hard drive it took about 3 to 4 hrs. Unfortunately I placed them on to the Hard Drive icon and hence my problem with trying to save 'Pages'. It seems like Pages (and maybe Keynote 2) offer more customisation in that sense (but take their default from the system language and not from the language set for the global spellchecker). My favourite feature of the OS X spellchecker however is the 'Multilingual' setting.
Jan 02, 2011 Download Pages for macOS 10.14 or later and enjoy it on your Mac. Create gorgeous documents in minutes with the Pages for Mac word processor. Start with an Apple-designed template to instantly create gorgeous reports, digital books, resumes, posters and more. Or use a blank document and create your own design.
Shutdown your Mac. Reboot. Open your document in a Finder window. Select your document, and drag/pause it over the iCloud Drive folder. That will open, and then just drag over the Pages folder and release to drop it in that folder. Alternatively, you can press option + File menu : Save As… and select iCloud Drive : Pages, and save your document that folder.
There is always a possibility that something is amiss with the network between your location and the iCloud servers. Or with your configuration.
If you aren’t familiar with Apple products, it can be difficult to fully understand what you’re looking at when you see an unusual file extension. One of these unusual files might end with the .pages extension. When you see a file with a .pages extension, that means the file is formatted to be edited by the Apple Pages app, one of three apps originally developed for the iWork software package. Pages is the Apple version of a word processor, much like Microsoft Word. One of the most useful characteristics of the app is that it’s designed for use on the entire suite of Apple mobile devices as well as their line of personal computers.
History
The Pages app has gone through many iterations before arriving at the state-of-the-art piece of software we are familiar with. It was originally released to the public in February of 2005, and since then it has undergone four major updates and nearly thirty minor adjustments. The current version, Pages 5, was initially released in October of 2013, and at that time it was made free on all current iOS devices. There have been a few small updates to version 5, primarily to address compatibility issues with OS X El Capitan.
How To Use Pages
Just a few years ago, Apple released an updated version of the iWork productivity suite and made it free on all iOS devices. Anyone with an iPhone or iPad can now download a free version of Pages on their device, and it delivers the same level of functionality as the computer based app. In fact, if you have a Mac, you can migrate files back and forth between your mobile device and your desktop or laptop using iCloud. This level of convenience gives Pages users access to their files wherever they are, and gives them the ability to work on those files in the most effective way possible. When you’re ready to use the app or open a .pages file, all you must do is select the app icon on your mobile device, or double click the file or app icon on your computer.
The Pages app is available in three different format. They are:
- Pages for iOS (iPhone and iPad) – Download. Pages for iOS has been designed for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch.
- Pages for Mac – Download
- Pages for iCloud -visit icloud.com. Everyone can use this. You need to have an Apple ID. If not, you can create one easily.
Features of Pages
Os X Download
The basic features includes (but not limited to):
- Word processing and built-in templates
- Powerful formatting and designing tools
- Compatible with Microsoft Word
- Accessibility features
- Sharing and collaboration
- iCloud integration
The first time you open the Pages app you’ll be presented with a list of possible templates for you to use, or you can choose a blank document. There are about 60 templates in Pages that are specific to the app that include:
- Report
- Resume
- Letter
- Basic
- Envelope
- And Many More
There are even newsletter templates with placeholder text to show you how they look when filled. This list only represents a small portion of the template genres, and the variety is such that no two documents will ever have to be the same.

Pages includes a number of editing and formatting features that make it simple to use. The most common functions are placed at the top of each document window for convenience, and a formatting bar allows for quick changes to the layout of the document. The user can control text size, color, and font, adjust the dimensions of the document, or add and edit tabs. The user can quickly adjust view mode and zoom with the conspicuously placed drop down menus near the top left of each window, and any document can be shared instantly with the conveniently located Share button. If the user adds an image to the document, the format bar shows options for changing opacity, adding reflections or shadows, and creating layer masks. If you choose, a separate window called the Inspector can be selected that holds nearly all possible formatting options in one convenient location.
Pages Editing
An included Media Browser allows the user to quickly look through Aperture, Photos, iMovie, or iTunes for additional media. When combined with the page layout mode, which is ideal for showing objects over text, this gives the user the ultimate tool for creating documents filled with expertly placed images. Standard word processing mode is better for dealing with text, and it provides several key features that make it easy to use, like side notes, collaborative changes, and change tracking. If a table or graph is inserted from Numbers, Apple’s spreadsheet app, it will update in the Pages file when the original Numbers file is edited.
Pages includes one additional mode call ‘Full Screen’, which removes everything from the screen except the document the user is currently editing. It even removes the excess toolbars, giving the user nothing on which to focus but the document itself.
Pages Editting
Download Os X 10.13
Compatibility
Pages can be used with any .pages files, and it can function with some recent Microsoft Word document filetypes. Documents created in Pages can be exported to PDF, Microsoft Word, EPUB, or Pages formats. No apps exist that can open, edit, or view Pages files in either Linux or Windows, so Pages files can only be viewed or edited with Apple iOS devices or Mac computers.
The Pages app itself is compatible with the most recent version of iOS and OS X. Older versions of the Pages app may no longer be compatible with the newest software, but upgrading to the updated software is free. If you have filetypes from the older versions of Pages, you may be able to import them to the newest version by extracting the data from the older files.
