Ever since I upgraded to Lion I can't open Pages. Help?

First off, yes, I do have the latest version of iWork.
What happens is that when I click on Pages, the application loads, however I can't actually open any document or create a new one.
If it helps, here are the Console errors I get when I select File->New (CMD+N).

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

No, I didn't have piracy in mind but as you can get it from either Apple store or the App store and it will influence how I answer.
When you have used the CD version of iWork you have to do the Software Update check to get the latest version.
It might be wise to uninstall iWork first with Yvans script.
To uninstall correctly iWork, go to Yvans iDisk :
<http://public.me.com/koenigyvan>
Download :
For_iWork:iWork '09:uninstall iWork '09.zip
Expand the archive and run the script.

Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

Ever since my upgrade to lion 10.7.3, and iCloud, my macbook is running extremely slow. What can I do? It doesn't seem like my contacts are pushing through to the computer from iPhone.

Then your basic issues are: too little RAM, incompatible software, dysfunctional installation.
Add more RAM or kill as many programs that you use until the computer is running normally.
See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps. Upgrade any old software.
Reinstall OS X:
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
Reinstalling OS X Without Erasing the Drive
Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the main menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility and press the Continue button. After Disk Utility loads select the Macintosh HD entry from the the left side list. Click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If Disk Utility reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit Disk Utility and return to the main menu.
Reinstall OS X: Select Reinstall OS X and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.

Ever since I upgraded to Lion, Time Machine has failed

The subject line says it all - ever since I upgraded my early-2011 MBP to Lion, every few weeks it announces that my TM backup is corrupt and it has to start a new one. So, I let it build a new back up - but then, a few weeks later, the problem recurs.
Looking through this and other sites, I see lots of people complaining about this with both Lion and Snow Leopard - but no explanations about why it happens.
Is there any logfile I should be looking at to determine what's causing the problem with my backups?

If you have more than one user account, these instructions must be carried out as an administrator.
Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ If you’re running Mac OS X 10.7 or later, open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the page that opens.
Select "system.log" from the file list. Enter "backupd" (without the quotes) in the String Matching text field. Post the messages from the last backup, beginning with "Starting standard backup."
Post the log text, please, not a screenshot. If there are runs of repeated messages, post only one example of each. Do not post many repetitions of the same message.
Some personal information, such as the names of your files, may be included — edit that out, too, but don’t remove the context.

Hi ..
Try Google.ca instead of google.ca/com.

HT5622 Hello ,Since I upgraded to IOS7, I can't open(apper blank white page) APP store.

Since I upgraded my to IOS7,I can't open( apper blank white page) APP.

a couple of notes - nothing happened to your photos - something happened to the display of them which you easily fixed
Neither adobe PSE not iPhoto store your photos - your photos are stored on a disk drive and the finder indexes them - no matter what management program you use your photos are stored the same and the same software is used to keep track of where the file is that holds the photo
The only protection for your files (including your photos) is a good backup - I do three - this is true no matter what photos manager you use
I have not looked at PSE recently (I have PSE 6) but I do not believe it has nearly as strong a photo managent system as iPhoto, does not maintain the original as iPhoto does, does not have lossless editing as iPhoto does and it has no integration into other software on the Mac or to iCloud or PhotoStream

Ever since I upgraded to firefox 3.6.15 the pages are loading extremely slowly, why?

I use a MacBook pro - about a year old and I have OS 10.6.6 installed. Ever since you pushed firefox 3.6.15 to me the pages are very slow in loading. Is it a cache problem? A second visit to the same page loads faster. sometimes it is slower than others and I don't know why. I have done a speed check on uploads and downloads and all seems to be fine.

I can get the photos to display in 3 columns if I do this:
orange Firefox button ''or'' classic Tools menu > Options > Content
In the Fonts & Colors section, click the Advanced... button.
Change '''Minimum Font Size''' to '''None''' and OK out of Options.
But most people are not going to do that. I prefer a minimum font size of at least 10.
So... how to fix it. The way the thumbnails are sized is that they are 10em with a base font size of 5px. If the minimum size is set to 10px, the pictures double in height and width.
It would make more sense if the base font size in your stylesheet was larger. Can you edit it? If so, try doubling the font size and halving the relative image size:
In http://languagesofourancestors.spruz.com/dhtml/corestyle/xstyle.css
<br>/*All Cards Small*/
.SUI-UserPic.small, .SUI-ImageCard.small, .SUI-VideoCard.small { font-size: '''10px''';}
<br>/* User Pics */
(4 lines down)
.SUI-UserPic .SUI-CardImage { display: block; width: '''5em'''; height: '''5em'''; overflow: hidden; border: 1px solid #aaa; border-radius: 2px; -moz-border-radius: 2px; -webkit-border-radius: 2px;}
.SUI-UserPic .SUI-CardImage img { width: '''5em'''; min-height: '''5em'''; border: 0 none;}
.SUI-UserPic .PopInfo {line-height: normal; display: none; width: 140px; position: absolute; z-index: 2; top: '''4em'''; left: 0; margin: 0 auto;}
I think that will be more broadly compatible. There may well be some details I've missed, but hopefully this helps.
I don't know why the minimum font size wasn't applied this way in Firefox 3.6, but I suspect this is the new normal.

Since I upgraded to Lion, why can't connect to shared scanner on my iMac SnowLeopard

Before upgrading my MacBookPro to OS X Lion, I was able to use a scanner Epson connected to my iMac with OS X Snow Leopard.
After upgrade I see only shared printers. Someone can help me?
Thanks!

People who need to SCAN & PRINT without a compatible driver from their manufacturer can use Apple's very basic "PRINT & SCAN" utility in System Preferences:
Click the Apple menu ( ), and then click System Preferences .
Click Print & Scan ( ).
Click Scan , and then click Open Scanner .
Click Show Details . The details of the scan display, including options to modify scan settings such as output type.Figure 2: Example of the Show Details scanning screen
Change any settings as necessary, and then click Scan .
The next window looks like this:
Hope this helps

Ever since I upgraded to Lion my screen occasionally goes black in the middle of use and I cannot get the OS to respond to with the on-board keyboard/trackpad or external keyboard/trackpad. What's going on and how do I fix it?

That I can recall it has happend 5 times now. Always when it's in active use never when it's sitting idle. Twice it's happened in Safari when opening new tabs using Splat+T; twice it's happened in iTunes, both times while browsing the store navigating with my external trackpad; and once in Skype when doubletapping on a contact using my external trackpad. This is getting really frustrating as the only recouse I've found is to power cycle the MBP. I never had a problem when using Snow Leopard.
Thanks,
Caleb

I saw that and almost replied, but I wasn't sure if it was the same problem because you referenced it happening when the "screen times out" and for me it was only when it was being activly used. Glad to hear I'm not the only one seeing this issue.

I have iWork on my Mac but now I've upgraded to Lion I can't open it. What should I do next?

Just reinstall and upgrade iWork '08:

Pages won't close windows when I quit it since I upgraded to lion.

Ever since I upgraded to lion, whenever I open pages all the previous pages i was working on opened. It won't allow me to close them before quitting out of it, whenever I try to close them the system just ignores it.
Also the mouse cursor has been disappearing on pages.
I don't have this problem with numbers

Ever since I upgraded to lion, whenever I open pages all the previous pages i was working on opened.
The Resume feature in Lion opens the documents left open when an app was last quit. You can turn this feature off in System Preferences. See the General pane and its "Restore windows..." checkbox.
It won't allow me to close them before quitting out of it, whenever I try to close them the system just ignores it.
Does anything at all happen when you close a window in Pages using either the mouse or the File > Close menu command? eg a beep, a box appears, etc. It reads like you cannot close any Pages window, ever.

Snow Leopard breaks quite a few drivers - my Canon exhibited the same problem.
I eventually found updated drivers on the Canon website. You can try that with the HP, but if the all-in-one is more than a year or so old, don't hold your breath.
You can also try Software Update to see if it will offer new drivers, or failing that go to the Support Downloads site and search for HP updates.
In fact there's a new one for HP at the top of the list just now.
You may not necessarily want the latest one, though - check the specs to see if your model is covered; if not, search for the previous update etc.
