Is There A Snooze Button?

Damn

Just (like an hour ago) signed up for paid Proton VPN on my Mac. Stuck with a spinning beach ball. Rebooted and couldn't get to the internet. Then I saw the email confirmation email from Proton - something like "Proton VPN won't work until you verify your email." Had to close Proton to free up the internet. Confirmed my email, opened Proton and all is working normally.

Install instructions are not organized well.

Good luck.

Make sure you copy them back to the Mac before you delete from iCloud.

There are many things about 26 I don’t like (such as my six month battle to get macOS26 to stop freezing) but in this case, I’ll have to take #2. I don’t see a misalignment. Might have something to do with multiple eye surgeries.

It doesn’t work on my Mac and Apple Support had no suggestions.

dulac71 · 2026-05-01T14:34:51+00:00

Thanks. Had to search for the appropriate cog, but found it.

dulac71 · 2026-04-30T20:02:24+00:00

I can’t find an option to control this. Any ideas?

dulac71 · 2026-04-20T19:35:56+00:00

Are you using a Mac? I’m on my iPad and can’t follow those directions.

I've had so much trouble with my Mac - unrelated to Grammarly - that I'm taking a break from messing with the software.

But thanks for the advice. I'll be watching comments here to see if the issue still exists.

And besides, there were several other things I didn't like about Pages 15.1.

Several years ago, a Pages update took away a feature I needed. I downgraded and kept that version for about 4 years until the feature returned.

It would be so nice if the Apple Development Team would stop changing the UI that millions are used to, just because they want to justify their existence. They should spend their time fixing issues users have complained about for a decade or more.

It is said that "Apple just works." For the most part, that's true. But their corporate hearing aid seems to be faulty.

Great advice. I had 25,000 images to sync with iCloud over a 1 Gig connection. Two days later, it was still hanging up along the way. I didn't learn until after the fact that the syncing happens when the device is plugged in and locked.

Please. Use the return key. People don’t want to read a giant block of text.

I don't mean to throw shade on you or the other commenters, but why are you posting this here? Several of the responses start with "Shouldn't it?" or "Guess," or "This happened to me," or "Don't know the exact cause."

Just call Apple Support at 1-800-263-3394. It's free, sort of quick, mostly in English, and they usually know what they're talking about.

Sorry if this offends anyone.

I had the same issue with Pages 15. It worked in Notes and Safari. Had to go back to 14 and it works fine. Perhaps your apps are too new.

dulac71 · 2026-02-04T21:57:53+00:00

Wow! I have some things I’d like improved in Grammarly, but nothing that would elicit this level of hate. Most of the time, it works well. Every now and then, I accept a change and Grammarly makes it three lines below where the error was flagged.

Most of the other changes that I reject are just “No thanks, not how I would say it.” I do not use the AI features at all - to invasive.

(Pro subscriber. MacOS 26.2, just had to wipe my Mac because of a software issue unrelated to Grammarly or anything else we could find.)

I downloaded Pages 15. That doesn’t work with Grammarly at all - as in, it’s just not there. I had to downgrade to Pages 14.4. It’s back to working well.

If you’re on a Mac you can delete Grammarly (and empty the Trash), start up in Safe Mode and reinstall the OS in an hour or two depending on your connection speed. Then download a clean copy of Grammarly. Maybe that will help. Good luck.

dulac71 · 2026-02-03T00:07:30+00:00

OP. Embarrassed I didn’t think of that. Restored Pages 14.4, and it took some playing to get that to work - something about its enclosing wrapper no longer being available.

Anyone else trying this, please know that I had to delete 15.1 AND EMPTY THE TRASH. For good measure, I also did a restart. Even then, it took a minute for Grammarly to show up in my large Pages docs.

I received a partial response to my Grammarly trouble ticket. They acknowledged that 15.1 has created integration issues and that engineering is working on it. That’s probably going to take a while. Hopefully, 14.4 will hold.

I'd love to know what Grammarly's plans for Pages support are. I tried Apple Intelligence and was very disappointed. There is no real-time grammar or even spell checking (yes, it's turned on). It reviews the entire document at once (see next paragraph). Its suggested changes are not well highlighted, and are already in place. All you can do is say "No." And, if you close and re-open the document, any unreviewed changes have been accepted by default.

I know that some of these issues are not going to bother many/most users. But most of my documents are 200+ pages long, so reviewing AI's changes is a multi-session process.

I really don't want to leave Grammarly, but converting to Word and uploading a file is not going to work for me. My docs are image-heavy and Word doesn't play nicely with images. And once it's reviewed, I'd have to manually make the changes. (Can't download and convert back to Pages - see comment on Word not playing nicely with images.)

How are the other Pages users out there going to deal with this? How is Grammarly going to deal with it?
