Can't open pages files on ipad in icloud.

I always synchronize my Pages files between my Mac Mini, Mac Book Pro and Ipad(1st generation) in icloud. Since last week it is not possible to open some files on my ipad in icloud. All files that have been opened on my Mac Mini can not be opened on the ipad. What can I do?

So...I have played with it more. Simple documents work most of the time. But if I take a more complex doc to Pages, edit it and save it as a Word doc then trasnfer it back to PC or Mac it will fail to open.
Would be nice if I could trust the App. WIll mess more with it but it is very frustrating.

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.

Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

Can't open Pages files from iPad in Word 2010 on PC

I have not been able to open any files created on my iPad (iOS 6.0.1) with Apple Pages in Microsoft Word 2010 on Windows XP Pro and hope someone can suggest a solution.
I am emailing the files as attachments (.docx files) When I try to open the file on my PC, I get an error message when I open them in Word that says:
Word was unable to read this docuemnt.
Try one or more of the following:
* Open and repair the file.
* Open the file with the Text Recovery converter. (C:\Users\...\name of file.doc)
In addition, I tried to open the .docx file in Openoffice.org 3.4.1 and it got a read error.
Any suggestions? Is there any kind of plug-in/add-in for MS Word 2010 that would correct the problem?
Thanks,
Rich
Additional: Pages was purchased today from the App store; iPad is Gen4 a couple days old

Can't open pages files on iPad

Right, I have my shiny new ipad but have a problem. I can open word documents fine, but when I try and open a .pages file it just comes up with the error "Error load document". This happens if I access a file over email or MobileMe. Why is this, as the MS Office docs open up fine in pages?

Every iPad comes with complimentary telephone technical support for 90 days. The U.K. no. is (44) 0844 209 0611 — from here:

Can i open PAGES file on MS WORD 2003 (PC)?

i type my documents on my iBook's PAGES and i wonder, would i be able to open all these docs on the conference room's PC laptop running windows XP (MS WORD 2003) without me carrying the iBook to work i plan to bring the file i saved with PAGES on a flash drive.
what should i avoid in saving files in PAGES to avoid incompatibilities with MS WORD 2003?
thanks.

Hello Alvin,
you are only able to open Pages files/documents in Pages. I fyou want to open a document you have made in Pages in other apps, export the document to a file type the other apps can open. For word this is a ".doc" or try a ".rtf" file. But since there are a lot of incompatibilities between the different versions of Word documents for Windows, you have to try with what version of Word you are able to open the exported Pages file.
Frank.

Can't open Pages files when a particular user has saved them

Can anyone help with this topic: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2288596
We have one user whose Pages files nobody else can open, edit or copy when he saves them to our server. Somehow the files are not inheriting the correct permissions.

I got the same issue but with some new insight.
I got a MacPro with 10.5.8 server on it to serve 8 users on 10.5 and 10.6. The root sharepoint is nest within a folder on a separated volume from the OS. I made a pretty simple permissions structure at first, all users is member of a group, and I giving full access to that group thru ACL and set the heritance to everything.
When I copie a new file on the server from the finder, everything is OK. But when I created a new documents on the server by saving it from a another software (Like pages or Textedit). The new file doesnt inherite the ACL and everybody else beside the users who created that new files is read only.
According to my tests, the ACL appear to be propagate on new file only from finder manipulation.

Can not open .pages file on new iMac Mavericks

Cannot open a .pages file on 2014 iMac with Mavericks. Pages v 5.2.2 says there is a newer version but I cannot upgrade Pages either. Thoughts?

Hi katmcg,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I know that situations that keep you from opening documents can be very frustrating. The new version of Pages that is being referred to is Pages 5.5 and is available with Mac OS X 10.10 Yosemite.

Can't Open Pages, Numbers or Keynote through iCloud on my PC

Went to my PC this morning and logged into iCloud. I noticed a new ICON for iCloud Drive. Never saw it before. I tried to open Pages to update a document and couldn't open Pages, Numbers or Keynote. I was greeted with the picture below.Without any warning Apple is telling me if I want to ever see these documents again on my PC I must update all my devices to IOS 8 immediately and then activate iCloud Drive on all devices. Not something I wanted to see on a day I needed my presentations for a client. How can we ever trust Apple again with significant documents? Have any of you experienced this?

For those of you who woke up this morning and tried to access Pages, Numbers or Keynote on your PC running Windows XP. Sorry the party is over and it ended without warning from Apple.
Here is an update just confirmed by an Apple Senior Advisor.
This is what Apple did without warning.
1. Took Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents and moved them to iCloud Drive making them NO LONGER AVAILABLE on a PC just by logging into iCloud.com.
2. Gave us an option to view them on a PC only after you upgrade all your devices that use those apps to IOS 8.
3. You then must activate iCloud drive on your devices and PC but only if you are not running WINDOWS XP because iCloud Drive is not supported on a PC running XP.
Conclusion, if you have a PC running WINDOWS XP hurray up and purchase WINDOWS 8 and upgrade your PC, then upgrade all your iDevices to IOS 8 then activate iCloud Drive and you may be able to once again see your documents on a PC. I don't know who will pay you for the day off to do all this but that's not Apples concern. They are to busy hyping the new iPhone to worry about keeping you in business. It's only their business that counts.

Can't open Ideas file on iPad

I use Ideas on my iPad and have been working on a large file. I closed the file to the "organize ideas" page but now I can't reopen it. (When I click on the file, it looks like it is trying to open, but goes to a blank screen and closes the application.) Are there size limitations on Ideas files? How do you adjust settings for the ideas app on the iPad?

Please try rebooting your iPad to see if freeing up memory resolves this.

Can't open Numbers file on iPad

On my iPad 2, I duplicated a Numbers file and made edits. I then closed it and tried to open it minutes later. I saw the spinning "loading" icon for a split second and then nothing happens. I just remain on the list of files screen. Has anyone else come across this? It's very annoying.

I really warn to use "documents in the cloud" at all. If you like contact/mail/bookmark sync - this all works as advertised, but the iwork storage in cloud is a desaster that has deleted 100s of users work files.
Try to make backup copies locally, i.e. share with itunes to Mac/PC, and then turn icloud off for all iwork apps. It really is not worth the risk at all if our files vanish in the dust. Also Apple seems to be completely silent on this issue as well not providing help into recovering these lost files.

Can't open pages files since update

I am unable to open my pages application or access any of my files. This has occurred since the update I installed. Help please - but give detailed instructions - I'm new to this.

Hi there. I solved my problem. Hope this works for you.
Since Mavericks launched I was unable to use the new Pages and Keynote. Not even Preview, all of them hang on me.
So I kept on searching the web and found a post from 2009 about deleting in User/Library/Preferences/ByHost all that had to do with iWork, Pages, Keynote etc.
I did so. Deleted all the plist files and viola! All is working as charm.

I can't get pages 5.01 to open pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.

I can't get Pages 5.01 to open Pages files from iCloud, although they open in iCloud Pages without difficulty.
I am using the most up to date version of Mavericks and Pages and can log into iCloud without any problems. Is this just a glitch? The files all behaved properly under previous versions and the initial release of the new version of Pages.

Pages for iCloud beta is a weird beast and as it says "beta".
I think it is the least compatible of all the many different .pages files floating around out there.

How can I transfer "Pages" files from my IPad to my Mac?

How can I transfer "Pages " files from my IPad to my IMac, I cannot use ICloud because I have Mountain Lion installed on the IMac?

Actually, you can use iCloud and the way that you so it is to log into iCloud.com on the Mac (use Safari for best results) click on the Pages icon and then drag the Pages files into the browser window. It works the other way around as well. Log into iCloud.com on the Mac and download the files from Pages (that you created on the iPad) in iCloud onto your Mac. You can click on the file in the documents window and select it to Download by clicking on the Gear icon or right click upon the file and select download.
The files will then sync to the Pages app on the iPad - assuming hat you have use iCloud tuned on in Settings>Pages>Use iCloud>On. I have an iMac running Tiger 10.4.11 that I can still move Pages/Word files back and forth Iike this.
Also, File Sharing with iTunes is a great way to move the files back and forth.

Can't open old files in Pages. Don't want to upgrade. Help please

I am happy with my old Pages program ... some files I created on the old Pages open fine, as normal. However, some files I created on the
old Pages (created in Dec. 2013) will not open. I get a pop up from Apple saying that I have to upgrade.
I would be delighted to upgrade and pay the $20 but I read horrible reviews about the new Pages upgrade. So I would like to stick with my old
Pages but how can I open these files that are closed to me unless I purchase the new upgrade. Inexplicably, I can open some files that I created this month on the old pages. But some will not open.
Is there a trick to opening these Pages files ?
Or should I go ahead and get the new download and take a chance. I only mix text with photos ... no footnotes.
Please help. Many thanks ..

Hi Jerry ... you were absolutely correct ... I must have downloaded the new version since I found Pages-Applications in Spotlight. Then I dragged it from Application to the dock where it now sits next to my old Pages. I tried to open up my file but still could not. How can I export it back to Word 09 (my old Pages) if I cannot open it. And this file will not open now, even when I have my new Pages in the dock. Or should I just give up on opening this file.
Also, I think I prefer the old Pages (Word 09) ... how can I make sure that I am creating documents in this program. I assume that I can keep it and continue to work with that. I guess the only way to prevent this from happening again is to check if I am using the old Pages before I start a document ??
Many thanks again, Don

Hi,
You mentioned you tried some steps but I'm not sure what they are, you may try my suggestion to resolve this issue, follow these steps:
Click Start, right-click Computer, click
Properties, and then click Advanced system settings.
On the Advanced tab, click Environment Variables.
Locate and select the __COMPAT_LAYER variable, and then click Edit.
Set the value of the __COMPAT_LAYER variable to EnableThemes. Or, delete the __COMPAT_LAYER variable.
If the issue persists, we can troubleshoot this problem in Clean Boot to determine whether background programs are interfering with PowerPoint:
