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.
Håkan

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.

I need to call a batch file from java and pass arguments to that Batch file

Hi,
I need to call a batch file from java and pass arguments to that Batch file.
For example say: The batch file(test.bat) contains this command: mkdir
I need to pass the name of the directory to the batch file as an argument from My Java program.
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat");
How to pass argument to the .bat file from Java now ?
regards,
Krish
Edited by: Krish4Java on Oct 17, 2007 2:47 PM

Hi Turing,
I am able to pass the argument directly but unable to pass as a String.
For example:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat sample ");
When I pass it as a value sample, I am able to receive this value sample in the batch file. Do you know how to pass a String ?
String s1="sample";
Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd /c start test.bat s1 ");
s1 gets passed here instead of value sample to the batch file.
Pls let me know if you have a solution.
Thanks,
Krish

The only content that you can download for apps, games, music etc on the iPad is from the App Store or from iTunes. No that game will not work on the iPad.

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)

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.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

Can't open Firefox. When I try to open, a window pops saying "Close Firefox" and "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time.", and doesn't allow the application to open.

Came home to find computer restarted, which I assume is an automatic Firefox update.
When I try to open Firefox, window pops up saying "Close Firefox" and, "A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time."
I'm unable to open the program at this time, lots of critical work info stored there - please help. Thx.

I have firefox installed in the program files (x86) directory and nightly installed in the program files directory. When I double click on the nightly icon, firefox starts up. I have gone directly to the program folder with the same results.

This happens in the reverse also. Can't open firefox if nightly is open. nightly is 11.0a1 (2011-11-17)
firefox is 8.0

Hi Scott,
Help #1: I don't understan the concept of Step 1, Step2 and Step 3 to do XML Schema, XSD.exe, and XML Schema Collection in the SQL Server 2012!!?? I just have the SQL Server 2012 Management Studio (SSMS2012) in my PC.
Step1 and Step2 not that related to SQL Server, you can get the XSD from a given XML with an online XSD generator.
Google search: XSD generator
Help #2: How can I execute the xsd.exe in my C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v7.0A\Bin\ folder?
Please see the link in the #1
Help #3: I just learned the basic things of creating XML SCHEMA COLLECTIONS in my SSMS2012 directly. Is the MSss2012P348.sql (I created and presented above) right for the task? How can I use clipboard to create the XML Schema Collection in
my ScottChangDB database?
See the syntax and example in
create XML schema collection
If you have any question, feel free to let me know.

I can't open Pages app on iMac

Hi all, I can't open Pages app on my computer. These are the specs:
iMac 2.8 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB, 2/3 of a TB free storage capacity,
Yosemite version 10.10.2
Originally I had iWork 09 and since I've been updating from the app store since they are available in there. Now version 5.5.2
I wanted to create a new document and explore the templates available for it but when I click the icon of the Pages app or the name in the Finder apps list, it won't open, instead it opens another window for me to choose what I want to open -see pic below-, and as you can see from the light gray color I can't choose the app from there.
I open the app store to see if I needed to update it and it is already done. So I don't know what to do... Can anybody help please? Thanks

If one clicks that extreme left icon, the Favorites panel disappears, leaving the Application view we see posted. Additionally, the OP has the
Finder Preferences ▸ Advanced ▸ All My Files checked, instead of their login directory (house icon).
This just adds to the mayhem. Once Finder Preferences is fixed, then the OP can click Applications, and from that lengthy menu, select their login directory, or Documents.
Why the OP did not just click New Document and review the bundled templates, is a question mark. Or click Launchpad in the Dock, to launch Pages.

HT1438 i can't open some programs from my ipad anymore

i can't open some programs from my ipad anymore, not even the general setting; and i can't update to higher version of the softwear, currently it's 5.1.1.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

New motherboard; now I can't open Pages w/out buying it

Hopefully, there's a simple answer for this prob. I recently had to take my iMac in for a new motherboard. Now, with the new motherboard installed, I can't open Pages, even though I could before I had the repair made. (It was paid for when I ordered the iMac several years ago.)
I have no idea where/what my serial number/registration might be. I had received it back in 2006.
What do I do now to access the software I paid for previously?
As always, thanks in advance for any help on this.

Uh, yea. I realize I'm working w/ '06 software, yet the issue is the same regardless of when it was purchased or what forum I'm asking about it in: Purchased software worked. New motherboard installed. Now software doesn't work. What to do?
Sorry to upset your ordered view of the world.

HT2470 how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them part of 1 master file

how would i go about taking multiple files from documents and make them into 1 master file? I want to put all documents associated with this project together for easier access.

From the finder window, click File, click new folder, you can drag all documents into that Folder making it the master folder. You can ajso drag folders into the Master folder, and have them as sub-folders if you wish to do that. Either way they will all be in one master folder.

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