'name of file'.pages can't be opened
I recently purchaced a new MacBook Pro (retina), before which I was using a standard MacBook (the white one from late 2009). I had updated all the software as much as I could only a couple of weeks prior to getting my new MacBook on the older one. I had most of my files saved on iCloud so there was no problem getting them when I logged into my account on my new MacBook. However, there was one file which I don't believe was backed up to iCloud (as I can't see it on my new laptop or my iPad). This file had been saved in pages and I had attatched it to an email a few months ago so I downloaded it from the email in which I sent it. The file is in my downloads but I think because the version of pages on which it had been saved isn't the same as the one on my current laptop, I can't open it, instead I get a message with the pages icon and "'name of file'.pages can't be opened". I really need to be able to open this file so any suggestions or help anyone might be able to give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Filename.pages can't be opened
I have created a file 6 months ago with Pages 4.3, written in that file, converted it when I have updated Pages to 5.1, written in that file and today I have suddenly got the error "filename.pages can't be opened".
What should I do? How can I open my document?What version of Pages was the thesis created in?
Do you have more than one version of Pages on your Mac?
Use Spotlight to search for "Pages" to find out.

I have the latest Pages 5.2 and get a sign saying "INDEX.pages" can't be opened. I have need of some of the documents. What can i do?
Probably you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 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.
Older versions of Pages 5 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 Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened by newer Pages versions anywhere, 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.

After using my browser (any of them) for a period of time I get a message saying that a page can't be opened. I have to reboot again. Clearing the cache doesn't help. It's very annoying. It even happened in the middle of a chat with Apple online support. I'd be very grateful for help!
Several things come to mind ... when you say your wife uses the same system with a different login and doesn't have issues, that suggests looking at your login items. Go to System Preferences (on your dock or on your hard drive in Applications), accounts, and on your account look at login items. Anything there that shouldn't be or isn't used? If you don't know, create a new account for yourself with no login items, and see if you still have the issue.
Next, I would run OnyX, which is a free disk maintenance program. You can download it from http://www.titanium.free.fr/download.php . Do the tasks on the cleaning and maintenance tabs. Before using any disk maintenance software, you should have a system backup. I periodically run it, and others have found that it can help with performance.
You might look at how you're system is using memory. You should have enough but it's easy to check. Bring up the Activity Monitor (on your hard drive in Applications/Utilities), and look at the system memory tab. Note page ins and page outs. If page outs are 10% to 15% more than page ins, you can use more memory for the programs you run. A page out occurs when memory is full and OS X has to write a section of memory to the hard drive. Too much of this can really impact performance. The optimal situation is for page outs to be zero. Note these values reset on a system boot. -
When I try to download a pdf file it turns into a .do file and can't be opened by my Samsung note 3
When I try to download a pdf file it turns into a .do file and can't be opened by my Samsung note 3. Once downloaded the file can't be found in any part of the device memory and can't be opened by the browser mozilla.

Have you checked if your PDF Plugins are updated? https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/

When I download a .pps file, I can open it from the downloads and everything is great. But if I try to download another one, then I can no longer access the previous download from the download bar. This is very annoying to me as I download and open dozens of these files every day. Is there some way that I can display all the files in the download bar and not just the last file downloaded of a certain type (a way to get Safari to stop hiding the .pps files)
To prevent Firefox from displaying form autocomplete suggestions, you can turn off that feature using the about:config page.
In the address bar, type or paste '''about:config''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
I suggest bookmarking this for easier future access.
In the search box, type or paste '''formf''' and tap the Enter/Return key.
Scroll down to '''browser.formfill.enable''' and tap the Toggle button to switch it from true to false.
That's it. Does it work on Facebook?
''The about:config preferences editor in the mobile version is similar in principle to the desktop version but many of the preferences available on the desktop version have no effect in mobile. This one I only tested on one site, but it seems to work.'' -
Just updated to new version of pages. Now can not open stored documents created under al pages. Get message "the application pages can' be opened -1712" hat do I do?
Apple released Pages 5.0 to run on Maverics only. They completely rewrote the program for Maverics and 64 bit compatibility. They failed to explain that this version is missing much of the previous version's capability and that it cannot read older Pages files. When they install it they leave the older Pages 4.3 in place because it is the only way to read the older Pages files and upgrade them to a level that can be read by Pages 5!
If you still have Pages 4.3 on your computer it will tell you what to do. If you do not then go into your backups and retrieve it.
Because of the deficiences of Pages 5 I have removed it from my Mac and gone back to working with Pages 4.3. I have also removed Pages 2 from my iPad and found Pages 1.7 in the Time Machinew backups and brought it forward and droped it onto the iTunes icon to restore it and then synced the iPad to get the Pages 1.7 running again - it is compatible with Pages 4.3 on the Mac so all is back to normal for me.
Apple say that they will fix many of the deficiences in Pages 5 in the next six months. I suggest you wait until then and keep an eye on these communities beforte considering the "upgrade".
Incedentaly Pages 5.0 writes files that cannot be read by anything else including Pages 4.3 - better hope no one sends you one! It does not save RTF either - what where they thinking! -
Certain pages can only be opened in Internet Explorer, how to get around it
The pages that I'm trying to open, says it can't be opened as I'm not using using IE. There must be a way around it?
I have also tried Firefox and added a plugin, "IE view" but it doesn't work.
Ideas please??Hi
many, but not all pages can be convinced that you're running IE via the 'User Agent' feature under the Develop menu. If you don;t see Safari's Develop menu, (between Bookmarks & Window) - enable it from Safari-Preferences-Advanced-Show Develop menu in menu bar.
Bypassing the 'can't be opened as I'm not using using IE' message doesn't guarantee that the page will work properly though, since some do use IE specific code. -
Certificate erros and pages can't be opened
My macbook keeps giving certificate errors. I can't open certain websites anymore (like Facebook). Help?
This could be a complicated problem to solve, as there are several possible causes for it.
Back up all data, then take each of the following steps that you haven't already taken. Stop when the problem is resolved.
Step 1
From the menu bar, select
▹ System Preferences... ▹ Date & Time
Select the Time Zone tab in the preference pane that opens and check that the time zone matches your location. Then select the Date & Time tab. Check that the data and time shown (including the year) are correct, and correct them if not.
Check the box marked
Set date and time automatically
if it's not already checked, and select one of the Apple time servers from the menu next to it.
Step 2
Triple-click anywhere in the line below on this page to select it:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemCACertificates.keychain
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Show Info
from the contextual menu.* An Info dialog should open. The dialog should show "You can only read" in the Sharing & Permissions section.
Repeat with this line:
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
If instead of the Info dialog, you get a message that either file can't be found, reinstall OS X.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Open a TextEdit window and paste into it by pressing command-V. Select the line you just pasted and continue as above.
Step 3
Launch the Keychain Access 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.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Keychain Access in the icon grid.
In the upper left corner of the window, you should see a list headed Keychains. If not, click the button in the lower left corner that looks like a triangle inside a square.
In the Keychains list, there should be items named System and System Roots. If not, select
File ▹ Add Keychain
from the menu bar and add the following items:
/Library/Keychains/System.keychain
/System/Library/Keychains/SystemRootCertificates.keychain
From the Category list in the lower left corner of the window, select Certificates. Look carefully at the list of certificates in the right side of the window. If any of them has a a blue-and-white plus sign or a red "X" in the icon, double-click it. An inspection window will open. Click the disclosure triangle labeled Trust to disclose the trust settings for the certificate. From the menu at the top, select
When using this certificate: Use System Defaults
Close the inspection window. You'll be prompted for your administrator password to update the settings. Revert all the certificates with non-default trust settings.Never again change any of those settings.
Step 4
Select My Certificates from the Category list. From the list of certificates shown, delete any that are marked with a red X as expired or invalid.
Export all remaining certificates, delete them from the keychain, and reimport. For instructions, select
Help ▹ Keychain Access Help
from the menu bar and search for the term "export" in the help window. Export each certificate as an individual file; don't combine them into one big file.
Step 5
From the menu bar, select
Keychain Access ▹ Preferences... ▹ Certificates
There are three menus in the window. Change the selection in the top two to Best attempt, and in the bottom one to CRL.
Step 6
Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:
/var/db/crls
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar and paste into the box that opens by pressing command-V. You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return.
A folder named "crls" should open. Move all the files in that folder to the Trash. You’ll be prompted for your administrator login password.
Step 7
Restart the computer, empty the Trash, and test. -
I haven't used the browser extensively yet, however it shouldn't try to download from a click within an email instead of taking you to a business website! I even tried to just type the web address into the browser and it still wanted to just download the file of some weird type...don't know what to do except go back to ie which I don't like!!! Also, the new version of Firefox wouldn't connect into my AVG which is my firewall/email scanner/etc so I'm hanging out there unprotected anyway, so what's different that ie in that? Nothing.
Please follow these directions to delete the Mail "sandbox" folder.
Back up all data.
Triple-click the line below to select it:
~/Library/Containers/com.apple.mail
Right-click or control-click the highlighted line and select
Services ▹ Reveal
from the contextual menu.* A Finder window should open with a folder named "com.apple.mail" selected. If it does, move the selected folder — not just its contents — to the Desktop. Leave the Finder window open for now.
Quit and relaunch Mail, and test. If the problem is resolved, you may have to recreate some of your Mail settings. You can then delete the folder you moved and close the Finder window. If you still have the problem, quit Mail again and put the folder back where it was, overwriting the one that may have been created in its place. Post your results.
Caution: If you change any of the contents of the sandbox, but leave the folder itself in place, Mail may crash or not launch at all. Deleting the whole sandbox will cause it to be rebuilt automatically.
*If you don't see the contextual menu item, copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder...
from the menu bar, paste into the box that opens (command-V). You won't see what you pasted because a line break is included. Press return. -
How to load delta, changing the name of file for every day with open hub?
Hi gurus,
I load daily delta data from ODS to flat file, using open hub.
The file is located on server. Now, if I do delta load from ODS to flat file, every day the file is overwritten, because it has the same name.
I want to load delta data everyday to different file name, for example BW_20060101 , BW_20060102, BW_2006_01_03 ....
How do I do that?
Best regards,
UrosHi Uros,

Imovie files folder can't be opened
when i try to open a folder that contains all my imovie files, i get a messaage that says "there is no application specified to open the document "folder name". in other words, it thinks the folder is a file... and it's the same issue on all the folders within the imovie files folder.
when i do i get info on any of them, they're seen as "packages' not folders.
these are the only folders that are behaving this way. fwiw, i just upgraded the ilife suite using software update and i'm running 10.4.10.If you have finished movies from an earlier version that you want to edit, see the help on how to import them. It will bring in all the video footage, but you will lose transitions, have to redo photos, etc.
If you have the original .dv files from an earlier version, I would think that iMovie 08 would spot them and bring them in automatically if they are still on your hard drive(s). -
The application "Pages" can't be opened
I click on the Pages application and it will not open.
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.
☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
The title of the Console window should be All Messages. If it isn't, select
SYSTEM LOG QUERIES ▹ All Messages
from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
Click the Clear Display icon in the toolbar. Then try to launch Pages. Select any messages that appear in the Console window. Copy them to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C. Paste into a reply to this message by pressing command-V.

Yesterday I was working in imovie. I exported the files as both Quicktime movies and as large files which I then placed in a Dropbox account. Subsequently, perhaps because the files were so large, I have been unable to open the imovie programme. The menu appears but nothing else happens. If I download the software again will I loose all my previous work ? Has anyone any suggestions ?
Thanks.

When I click a link that goes to a "gif" file/page, it won't open; how do I fix this?
Ever since I've used Firefox, when I click on certain links, and the tab shows "gif", the page is blank. This happens with all kinds of web sites: in TripAdvisor when trying to access certain hotel web pages. Just today when on Delta, as I tried to click and access the store links in their SkyMiles shopping program (like Bloomingdales!).
Here is the tab info from the Delta example: " click (GIF Image, 1x1 pixels)" Some variation of this appears with a blank page. It's frustrating, as these are not suspicious sites! Also I just got Windows 7, so it's happened with both XP and Win-7. What can I do to prevent this and get to the site I want?
Thanks!Some firewalls like Kaspersky can block content and send a 1x1 GIF image instead.
