Pages does not Open .Pages Documents

Hello,
When I attempt to open any of my .pages documents, Text Edit opens instead. I have attempted to correct this by right clicking on the document and changing 'Open With' from 'Text Edit' to 'Pages (default)' and then choosing the 'Change All' option, but it flickers and 'Text Edit' returns to the list.
Does anybody know of why this is occuring?

It seems that something is corrupted in the LaunchServices database.
Use a maintenance tool like Onyx (free) to rebuild clean database.

  • Pages 5 does not open most documents after Mavericks Reinstall

    I replaced my old 250Gb Hard Drive in my Mid2010 MBP 13" 2,4GHz
    with a Samsung 840 Pro SSD 512GB.
    I performed a clean install of Mavericks in that SSD by booting from a USB-Stick.
    Now I have problems opening documents in Pages, Numbers and Keynote,
    all latest versions.
    The most annoying thing is that I can't open most documents with pages.
    This includes old pages 4 documents, as well as those who were created with pages 5.
    I also can't open any .doc files.
    There is no error message, if I double click on a document (standard app is set) or go via "Open..."
    and select it, just nothing happens.
    What can I do?
    Thanks alot

    I am unable to check what you have on your Mac so you will have to run your own series of tests to determine exactly where the problem lies.
    Starting with the file extension on the Word files.
    You didn't say, but have you installed Pages 5?
    Is your previous installation of Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder?

  • Pages PDF documents does not open in another computer?

    Pages documents which I export to PDF does not open in another computer (Mac or PC).
    my computer is macbookpro and earlier everything worked fine.
    Pages is 4.05 version.
    Thanks!

    There is a bug in OSX 10.6.7 which damages pdf files using PostScript OpenType fonts.
    You will need to go back to the earlier OSX 10.6.6 by reinstalling from your Installer DVDs.
    Or only use TrueType OpenType fonts. Get info in FontBook to find out which is which.

  • I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

    My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

    If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, you have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
    Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

  • Pages does not open anymore after the latest update

    I did all suggested problem solving steps, but after the last update Pages does not open anymore.
    It opens a window and immediately crashes again.
    I paid for it, and I used it for my business - and I'm so angry, that there is no support for apps in fact...

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Turn off iCloud for Pages on your mobile device at Settings > Pages > Use iCloud > Off.
    Open Pages on your computer and move any documents in iCloud to your desktop for safe keeping.
    Navigate to system preferences > iCloud > Manage and check that Pages documents are not taking any space in the cloud, delete them if they are.
    Enable iCloud syncing for Pages on your mobile device and launch the App.
    If Pages now opens properly, start to add back documents from your desktop one at a time (or in small groups if you have many).

  • Pages on my Mac will not open iCloud documents.

    I am suddenly unable to open any of my saved documents on iCloud from Pages on my Mac. I can download them via the web app, and I can open them on my iphone. However, when I select the file in Pages on my Mac, then click open. Nothing happens.

    Hey swpinsent,
    There's an article that can help you troubleshoot the issue you're experiencing with Pages.
    Mac OS X: How to troubleshoot a software issue
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1199
    Below is the section for a software issue that occurs in one application only:
    For example, one application does not open or unexpectedly quits. Mac OS X v10.4 and later can help with applications that unexpectedly quit by offering to open the application with default settings. If this doesn't help, skip to "Drag the application to the Trash and reinstall it if the issue persists..." below.
    Make sure you are using the latest version of the software. Check with the manufacturer if the product is published by a third party.
    If the issue only occurs while using a specific document, try creating a new document or replacing your document with a backup. Your document may be damaged. If possible, try testing with either a new file or a known-good file.
    Drag the application to the Trash and reinstall it if the issue persists. Some Apple applications that may have been included with your computer can be reinstalled by using the Install, Restore, or iLife disc that came with the computer. See these links for more information:
    Mac OS X v10.6 Help: Reinstalling applications that came with your computer
    Mac OS X v10.5.5 and later: Installing optional and bundled software
    Custom installs in Mac OS X v10.4
    Hope that helps,

  • Pages app does not open on my iPhone 4

    Pages app does not open on my iPhone 4 running iOS 5.01, touch the icon and it just returns to the home page where the icon for the pages app is.  I have Pages on my Macbook and have uploaded docs to the iCloud.  Phone iCloud is on.  What am I missing?

    Thank you, powering off by holding down home button and power button and then a restart worked. 
    Now one more question:  How do I open an iCloud pages document on my iPhone?  I see how to create new documents and how to open one that is stored on iDisk, iTunes or WebDAV ... I do not see an option for opening one that is stored in iCloud????  Thanks.

  • The Report Server page comes up on local server, but the page does not open from clients

    Hello,
    The Report Server Page opens up just fine on the local server, but page does not open up from desktops and client PCs.   SSRS is installed on a Windows Server 2008 R2 server and with SQL Server 2008 R2 SP2
    Clients are using IE 11 and they see:
    Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to tumdv-fsql01
    How can make this site accessible from clients?
    Thanks
    Paul

    That did not work.
    What port numbers specifically does SSRS use?  I will check the firewall.
    http://100.100.100.100/CengeaReports/Pages/Folder.aspx
    When I add the IP Address and try the link again, IE says "This page can not be displayed".  When I try the Fix connection problems, IE says:
    "The website is online, but it is not responding to connection attempts."

    Please.......Lately when open a new tab it does not open with a blank page. I don't want to set my homepage as blank as when I first open Firefox, it automatically loads my hotmail page. But then if I open other pages I don't get a blank page. Help, please?
    Thank you.

    Hi jcatx2013, we don't really have enough information on your system to make specific suggestions...
    Could you test in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to bypass interference by extensions (and some custom settings). More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?

    Hi Dave, thanks for your answer.
    I have tried a several times to repairing permissions, restarting the mac, relaunched Finder, but no difference.
    I copied the download folder to the dock...there I can open the files, but not deleting them or copying them.
    When I open finder, then I click on the folder Download, after a while of thinking, it throws me out and back to the desktop.
    already tried to sign in with the guest user account, then I am able to open the download folder.(but not seeing my files)
    When I am trying to change the download folder in Safari, it also throws me out and gives me a error report ,for sending to Apple.
    I think it's a settings fault or i think my download folder is locked. Almost desperat, already called support center,
    They couldn't help, for free, due the 90 days free online help i have reached. If I want to solve this problem, they could try it , but it cost me almost 50 euros.
    hope there is someone, who's knowing this problem.
    By the way, I think it also could be that I dragged some downloaded music to the desktop, and dragged some folder that has the settings. Now its changed???
    Or I was downloading something, and deleted the files in the download folder while it was unpacking and reparing the files.
    It's not easy for a beginner Mac user (3 months) to already solve this problems.
    Can you follow me? And seems this problem familiar to you?
    Thanks in advance
