Can't open Pages-Document in iCloud

Hallo, wenn ich mit Pages auf meinem iMac versuche, die in der iCloud abgelegten Dokumente zu öffnen, bekomme ich die Meldung: >>Die Datei "XXX.pages" konnte nicht geöffnet werden. Wenn ich mich über iCloud anmelde, kann ich die Dokumente hingegen öffnen... Der Systemstatus von iCloud zeigt alles in "grün" an

Tried to go to the source and the document can't be download on iCloud either.
I made a copy of the problem document and am not able to open that one either.
Hours of work lost.  This is not good.  Apple Support, please help us.

  • Can't open pages documents I created 3 days ago with Pages 5.2

    get the message:
    You need a newer version of Pages to open this document.
    - I've just updated to the newest Pages and now I can't open documents I created 3 days ago in Pages. Please help.

    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
    Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Previous Pages 5 versions can not open Pages 5.2 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
    Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
    Once opened and saved in Pages 5.2 files can not be opened in previous Pages 5 versions.
    Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
    All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
    Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
    Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

    Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

  • Can't open Pages Documents

    I've upgraded all my iWork documents and now I can't open things in Pages.  I'm stuck on an endless loop of "You need to be using the most updated version .... which you can get in the app store.... blah blah blah"  I'm suing the most up-to-date versioin.  I'm using Pages 4.3 and the document I'm trying to open was created using the most updated version.  HELP.
    Thanks
    Carrie

    You have both versions of Pages on your Mac and are simply opening the wrong document in the wrong version.
    Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
    Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages ;'09 can not open Pages 5 documents and Pages 5 will alter/damage older Pages '09 files and not open any other.
    Pages 5 is very much a downgrade missing over 90+ features.
    Best to go back to using Pages '09:

  • HT1750 Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old.  To open it, save it with Pages 09 first          still can't open pages document

    I recently purchased a new Mac and I am having difficulty opening older Pages documents.
    Pages, This document can't be opened because it's too old.  To open it, save it with Pages 09 first          still can't open pages document

    Either you have access to Pages ’08 v3, Pages ’09 v4, or neither. One of these older, but more functional versions of Pages can open, and export the document in question to Word. Preview on OS X 10.9.5 and Yosemite can view Pages ’08 documents (in my experience). It is not obvious to me that Preview may be using the installed Pages ’09 v4.3 to assist in opening these '08 documents.
    Once opened in Preview, you can select/paste text into Pages v5.2.2, or v5.5. If you want the images from the PDF, then export it from Preview as PDF, and then drag/drop onto latest free LibreOffice icon in the Dock, which will open the PDF for editing. Select, copy, and paste the images into Pages v5, or incorporate into Text boxes, or Shapes. When pasted, images will be in their original size/resolution, not necessarily as small as they appear in the PDF.
    If the second paragraph is a chore, then follow Peggy's advice above on the sources for purchase of Pages ’09.
    In the future, I would not recommend trusting document architecture to Apple, and use a more accessible format (.doc/x) for better cross-platform access, longevity, and application choice. You may find LibreOffice, or Office for Mac 2011 a better choice for features.

  • Can Not Open Pages Document (iOS) anymore (iCloud)

    Hello,
    I have an Issue with pages for iOS. I created a Document on my iPad and tried to open it with my iPhone. After Install Pages on iPhone and Sync with iCloud, the thumbnail of the document shows an inkpot for specific this document. The other docs works fine and the thumbnail Shows the First Doc- Page.  Since I install pages on iPhone, it is Not possible (on iPad too) to Open the Document.
    In my oppinion there was a Sync Problem with iCloud. Did Anyone have those problems, or a Solution to restore this Doc?

    Not sure about going through Dropbox as I use iCloud to share docs. I, too, was getting the error message about opening docs in Pages on iPad. Found a fix in another thread - rebotted the iPad - close all apps, then hold down both buttons at the same time. The Apple logo comes up for about 30 seconds then the pad comes back on. Docs open now. Hope this helps.

  • Problem open "pages" documents from icloud

    Hi,
    I have pages for MAC and IPAD.  Quite often I cannot open or save documents located on icloud drive. The same document can be opened if I transfer it to local disk or if I look to it using "preview" but when I try to point to the orginal idrive location I get the message "document cannot be opened" or "document cannot be saved" This is odd enough as in icloud settings have pages enabled. The all idea is making my documents on MAC and being able to read them using IPAD or MAC at my own convenience.
    Any clue?
    Thanks,

    I found it helpful to convert all my old Pages '08 files to .doc files.  They can be opened by the new version of Pages.
    Since the new version of Pages is no longer back compatible, and so not good for anything you want to keep for a long time, you might consider using an open source word processing application like Libra Office.  That's what I had to do.  After seven years of being a happy Pages user - archiving thousands of files in Pages -Apple has abandoned us.  I no longer think it is wise to use the new Pages and then five years down the road (or sooner) not to be able to open them in a newer version.
    If you would like a quick way to convert your Pages '08 files to .doc, let me know.

  • Can't open a document in iCloud i get the message "Tutila Paul" couldn't be opened.

    As the title says i get an error when i try to open a particular pages doc in icloud doesn't matter the device........Any ideas...?! It is an important document and it's save only on icloud with pages!

    Hmm... I've been reading a lot of posts today about users who can't access their icloud stored pages documents.  I'm beginning to suspect Apple may have a server issue wrt Pages documents.
    If you have created the pages doc on a mac and saved it to icloud, then there's a copy of the file in your ~/Library/Mobile Documents  folder.

  • Receiver can't open Pages Document - Help!

    Hello,
    I have made track changes to a Pages document and need to send it to a colleague.  I tried to send it as an attachment to email (yahoo and gmail accounts) and it failed.  I then uploaded it to a Dropbox account but my colleage was not able to open it.  Can anyone help?  I don't want to send it as a pdf as there are over 500 tracked changes and the work will have to be redone.
    Thanks. Jane

    Pages v5.2.2 creates directories, not regular files. The only place where this directory actually appears as a regular file (to the user) is courtesy of the Finder on OS X. These Pages v5.2.2 directories are incompatible with Gmail, and Dropbox. You must first right-click on the Pages document, and then from the contextual menu, choose compress the document name. You now have filename.pages.zip, which to Gmail and Dropbox appear as an allowable document. The destination user would simply double-click this document to make it filename.pages.
    There are some caveats. The recipient must be running OS X Mavericks or later, because this is a requirement for the Pages v5.2.2 application, which is the only application on the planet that can open Pages v5.2.2 documents. Otherwise, the recipient cannot open your document, unless they have Pages v2 or later on IOS 7 or 8.
    I would have also mentioned Pages for iCloud beta, but since I do not have IOS 8, or Yosemite, I am blocked from accessing Pages for iCloud beta until I upgrade to iCloud Drive. Doing so, according to others, vanishes previous Pages documents stored in the older iCloud installation. Apple is at it again.

  • Cannot open Pages document in iCloud

    Hi all
    I recently had to factory reset my iPad2 after a corrupted Apple software update. Fortunately almost everything was recovered via iTunes and iCloud backups. However, I am unable to access a very important Pages document (Pages docs were recovered from iCloud after the reset). It shows in pages but is misted out a little and it won't let me open it. When I look into iCloud I can see that the document is there and has content as the file size is 11mb but I am still unable to open it. It is many, many hours of work and I am desperate to retrieve the file if I can.
    Can anyone help?
    Thank you
    Ross

    Thank you for the reply Alfred.
    The document wouldn't open immediately after the iCloud recovery in the previous version of Pages and it still won't open in the most up to date version. I have tried accessing iWork via my PC (sorry all, planning a Mac!) but still cannot get into the app.
    In the previous version of Pages I couldn't even select the document for deletion or sharing. Is there any way I can try to recover the document again from iCloud? I guess that if I do delete the corrupted file from Pages, I cannot then try to recover it from iCloud?
    Thanks again Alfred.

  • How can I open Pages documents now that I've updated to Maverick?

    I get the message: "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document"? Everything is updated! I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one with this issue and I've found other threads that are simular, but nothing that actually tells me how to open all my docs!!!
    My OS is 10.9.1, but I didn;t see that on the list!
    Help,
    Jenn

    Jenn,
    Right-click the document in Finder and choose Open With: Pages 5.0. Once you have opened a document with Version 5, you can't open it with Version 4 anymore.

  • Can't open page documents and get The required index.xml file is missing

    I have “hundreds” of pages documents that were created with pre Pages 09 that will not open now that I have upgraded to Pages 09. In every case I get the error “The required index.xml file is missing“.
    I need a way to fix this or it will cost me many dollars since these files constitute legal backup for earlier federal jobs.
    Anyone out there that can help rather than telling me to open (which I can’t) and save in Pages 08 format!

    If a Pages '08 document doesn't open in Pages '09, the problem is not Pages '09, it's that the document is corrupted.
    I will be disconnected for a few days but if you may wait until tuesday 26th,
    on this day, send me a sample file.
    I will try to understand what is wrong with it.

  • Suddenly can not open pages document

    So, I'm faced with a sudden problem. I cant open any pages documents. When I try, there is no error message, the document just does not open. The application itself opens fine, I just can't open any files. When I tried to send the document through gmail, it said that it was zero bytes, so it could not be attached. I am running pages 5.5.2, and osx yosemite. I updated my software within the last two weeks. I don't know when the document was last editied exactly, but I know it was after the updates were made. When I first started trying to open this document, Pages told me there was an update, and I ignored it, thinking that I would do it later. However, I tried to go to the App store to see the update just now, and there was none to be found.

    i think if you edit a pages doc on the cloud it wont let you open it with desktop pages - best idea open on the cloud  -then copy text, paste to desktop pages. Its all part of Apples 'problem with computer? - buy a new one' policy i guess, its to force you to upgrade the Os...

  • Can't open pages documents after time machine restore.

    Hi, I had to do a restore of my document folder from time machine and now I can't open any pages documents. It just says not a valid format. It is only the pages documents that are affected. Not word documents. If I try to convert to plain text (or any format) in word i just get a blank page.
    Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

  • How to open pages documents in icloud on macbook air

    I have pages on my IPhone, IPad and new MacBook Air.  I have confirmed that my Pages documents are all in iCloud.  However, I dont know how to find them from the Pages app on my MacBook Air.  Any help?

    You need to be using Mountain Lion to automatically have documents in iCloud visible on your Mac. You can go to iCloud.com in a web browser & download the files in an earlier OS.

  • Can't open pages doc from iCloud on iMac

    I have been using pages v5.2.2 on my iMac (OS X 10.9.5).  I have saved several files on in the iCloud location, so far no problem.  I opened pages to access a critical file, clicked on the iCloud button, saw my file, clicked it and got the "The file "xxxxxxx.pages couldn't be opened."  Is there anyway to access this file??!!!  Help please!!

    One way to download the file to your Mac is through the iCloud website: https://www.icloud.com and click on Pages and find your file.  Click the file, it will open in a new tab, and click on the spanner icon, choose "Download a copy" (see spanner icon below)
