Pages, Numbers, and Keynote files as attachments in emails

Why can't I attach a file to an email unless I export it to Word or Excel?
If I create a file in Pages, Numbers, or Keynote and save it to my documents, I can't attach that file to an email. It says the file cannot be attached. If I go back to the file and export to Word or Excel, It will attach to the email. How can I fix this?

Are you using Apple's Mail app?  Are you composing the email using Apple's Mail app and then trying to attach a file?  Are you using current versions of Pages, Numbers, Keynote (Pages 5.2, Numbers 3.2, Keynote 6.2)?

  • Pages, numbers and Keynote files readable in Windows?

    I'm probably embarassingly niave but I'v just bought an iMac (2 months ago) and when I send Pages, Numbers and Keynote files as attachments to emails, the recipients (who operate on Windows Computers) say they can't open them. What do I have to do to convert them into files that are readable in Windows?
    Thanks for any help

    Export them as MS Office files or buy a copy of Microsoft Office for Mac

  • What has happened to all my data files in pages, numbers and keynote?  they have all disappeared (though i do not yet have ios8)

    what could have happened to all my data files in pages, numbers and keynote?  they have disappeared - though i'm not using ios8

    I have the same problem. For about 1 month ago I extended my iCloud storage account (+20 GB) in order to maintain my backups for iPHONE and iPAD as my account would expire 14/10. In spite of this, I got an email 15/10, which said that iCloud was reduced to 5 GB. 2 hours later I received a new email with comfirmation on the purchase of +20 GB storage plan. However, I only have access to 5 GB on my iPad and iPhone. Called Apple Support but they couldn´t help me. Did you find any solution ?

  • Took delivery of imac yesterday with pre-installed Pages, Numbers and Keynote. App store says they need updating but won't let me because I've never owned the major version of the software. I have paid like anyone else, so why can't I update?

    You must be signed into the Apple Store with your Apple ID or it won't work.
    and
    How to deal with a 100 Store Error:
    Try here >  Mac App Store: "An unknown error occurred (100)" when purchasing
    If that doesn't help, open the Finder. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type this exactly as you see it here;
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.appstore/Cache.db
    Click Go
    Move the Cache.db file to the Trash.

  • Yesterday taking consierable time, effort and money I upgraded Pages, Numbers and Keynote and now I can't get "SAVE AS" in pages!  Help!  What to do?

    Yesterday, having taken considerable time, effort and money I upgraded Pages, Numbers and Keynote.  All because I have just bought an iPad and couldn't transfer files unless I got a newer version of Pages!
    Now I can't get "Save As" in Pages.  It will only show "Save a Version".
    Haven't a clue what has happened and would like to get Save as - as in the past.
    Help!  What to do?

    I don't think you lose anything going from Lion to Mountain Lion. Lion just seems "unfinished" to me. I don't have Lion on any Mac. I do have one running Snow Leopard & a couple of PPC Macs running Tiger.
    The only way to upgrade to Mountain Lion is to purchase it in the Mac App Store.

  • How can I recover the documents I had in Pages, Numbers and Keynote?

    I have an iPad that couldn't be updated because my laptop was an old one. Recently, I bought a new laptop and tried to updated my iPad plugging to the laptop. The problem was that the documents I had in Pages, Numbers and Keynote as well as the PDF files in iBooks have disappeared. I just checked the size of those apps and compared it to the one that Finder says those have on my computer and it looks as if the files were there. I have tried to access them but the type of file is .ipa and I have no idea on how to open them. Is it possible to recover those files? If so, how can I do it?

    I had to restore my iPad earlier tonight. Some of my apps, docs...including numbers and keynote did not transfer to my iPad. I thought of how I transfer music to my iPhone (double tap and slide to device)  and low and b, you can transfer apps the same way. However, I lost a lot of data in both numbers and keynote...I too would like to know how I can restore my files. If not, work, time and energy down the drain!

  • I purchased iWork apps for iPad (pages, numbers and keynote). How do I use MobileMe to upload docs from my PC to iPad?  Janet Frustrated

    I purchased iWork apps for iPad (pages, numbers and keynote).  How do I transfer files from my Laptop PC to the cloud for my iPad?  Thanks!  Frustrated Janet

    Greetings Janet,
    Read here: http://www.apple.com/mobileme/news/2010/09/iwork-for-ipad-apps-now-support-mobil eme-idisk.html
    Login to your iDisk on the windows machine and then click on the Home on the left.
    Upload whatever documents you want access to on your iPad to your iDisk.
    Once you have the desired files on your iDisk you go to the app on your iPad you wish to work with tap the sharing button (little arrow going down into a box) which will give you an "iDisk" option and you'll see the files there.
    Hope that helps.

  • My iPad Pages, Numbers, and Keynote apps Stopped Syncing with iCloud Drive

    My iPad Air (iOS 8.0.2) is synced with my iCloud Drive, and all of its apps (Notes, Contacts, Calendar, etc.) sync perfectly with iCloud Drive... except for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.
    When I open Pages, Numbers, or Keynote on my iPhone 6 (iOS 8.0.2), my Mac (Yosemite beta), or my iCloud.com page, all files are there and all apps sync perfectly with one another. It's just Pages, Numbers, and Keynote on my iPad that refuses to sync. When I open my iPhone Pages app, I even see the text "Updating" at the top of the screen. But not on my iPad version.
    I even factory restored my iPad and started all over again. And for a moment, the Pages app got something. A few docs and one folder appeared. But then it stopped again. And I haven't been able to repeat the process.
    Anyone have any suggestions?

    Hello lippyloggy,
    After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help in this situation. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice concerning iCloud Drive:
    Using iWork with iCloud Drive
    Options for iWork customers
    1. Upgrade to iCloud Drive later this year when OS X Yosemite is available.
    Choose this option if you’d like your documents to keep up to date with your apps on OS X Mavericks or earlier. Note that until you upgrade your iCloud account to iCloud Drive, you won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com or the Share via iCloud feature.    
    If you don’t upgrade to iCloud Drive at this time:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8 and across devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You won’t be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You won’t be able to use the Share via iCloud feature.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud won’t be accessible to collaborators until you upgrade to iCloud Drive.
    2. Upgrade to iCloud Drive today.
    Choose this option if you’d like to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com and the Share via iCloud feature. To access the most recent versions of your documents from a Mac with OS X Mavericks or earlier, you’ll need to go to iCloud.com and access Pages, Numbers, and Keynote from there. On a PC, you can install iCloud for Windows 4.0and set up iCloud Drive.If you upgrade to iCloud Drive now:
    Your documents will keep up to date across devices with iOS 8, Macs with OS X Yosemite, PCs with iCloud for Windows 4.0, and iCloud.com. (OS X Yosemite will be available this fall.)
    Your documents will no longer keep up to date on devices with iOS 7 and Macs with OS X Mavericks or earlier.
    You’ll be able to use the iWork web apps on iCloud.com.
    You’ll be able to use the Share via iCloud feature on iOS 8 and iCloud.com. You’ll be able to use it on OS X Yosemite later this year.
    Documents you previously shared via iCloud will be accessible to collaborators.
    Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc?  I need to create and edit between both.

    How can I exchange my pc created documents on Excel, Word, and PowerPoint with my mac and my Pages, Numbers and Keynote created content with my pc?  I need to create and edit and exchange between both types of operating systems.

    Your Windows system will not open any Pages, Numbers or Keynote documents. No applications exist for Windows that can open those formats. You will need to export your documents in Word, Excel and PowerPoint formats, respectively, before you'll be able to view and edit the documents on your Windows system. The iWork documents can natively open Word, Excel and PP documents, though there are limitations on what can be imported (for instance, Numbers does not support all possible Excel functions). Consult the documentation for the relevant iWork application for details on importing and exporting.
    If you are asking how to get the documents from one system to the other, then there are several ways to do that, including file sharing, using an external drive (hard drive, USB flash drive), or emailing the documents to yourself. Which would be best for your situation I can't say without more details about your usage.
    Regarsd.

  • Updating Pages, Numbers and Keynote in OS X Yosemite

    I have a mid 2009 white MacBook, on which I have just installed OXS Yosemite.  I am prompted to update Pages, Numbers and Keynote in the Mac App store.  When I try to do this (also when I try to update via software update notifications), I am then told they can't update because they were not purchased with this Apple ID.  I presume I set up my Apple ID after I'd purchased this MacBook with iWork preinstalled.  I'd even be happy to repurchase these apps, but the app store won't let me because it just says 'update' instead of giving me a price.  Any thoughts?

    Here is a link to App Store Support. Apple iWork applications were never preinstalled on Apple hardware prior to 2014. This was a separate purchase, either earlier on via iWork '09 DVD, or later by OS X App Store purchase. Your preinstalled comment suggests to me that your Mac was pre-owned, and someone else installed iWork '09 applications using their Apple ID — which would block you from updating through your own Apple ID.
    The iWork ’09 applications that are currently installed have considerably more functionality than the new (rewritten) applications that prompt those update notices. You do not have to update to Pages v5.5.1, Numbers 3.5, and Keynote 6.5. You should however, update the iWork '09 applications via the Apple iWork 9.3 updater.
    If you want to disable the nagging update to newer software messages in Yosemite, I suggest you visit System Preferences > App Store. Check Install system data files and security updates, uncheck Download newly available updates in the background, and then uncheck Automatically check for updates.

    If you own the Magic Mouse, I guess that it's a problem with gestures settings.
    Thirdly why does Safari always open at the last website ooked at and not at the selected pref Google as the Homepage?
    If you are asking about the app opening when you start the machine, you are describing the behavior of the system's feature named Resume.
    It's designed to reset the apps in the state in which we quitted them.
    On my machine I apply brute force.
    I switch off thru a script which delete the Saved Applications State files then issue a Quit command.

  • I've purchased Pages, Numbers and Keynote and have downloaded them to my iPad.  They will not open or work at all.

    I've purchased Pages, Numbers and Keynote and have downloaded the apps.  The apps will not work.  If I hit one of them the screen moves (slightly, as if they are going to open) and goes back to normal.

    I think when uninstalling you may also have to choose (tick) to delete the preferences and other personal data like the bookmarks, stored passwords etc. to erase completely. If you are installing afresh, please try right-clicking on the file and '''Run as administrator''' to install. And when uninstalling, please also make sure choose to delete all data and also manually delete any '''Mozilla''', '''Mozilla Firefox''' or '''Firefox''' from %appdata%, %localappdata% and %programfiles%. You can open a location by typing for eg. %appdata% in the '''Run''' box (Windows key + R). You may also have to check the '''VirtualStore''' folder in %localappdata%. Files in the VirtualStore can be problematic. I think a clean installation may help.

  • Will 128gb of ssd be enough for pages, numbers and keynote documents?

    I am going to be buying the MacBook Pro 13" with retina display in the next month or so and I was just wondering whether the 128gb ssd that it has will be enough for Pages, Numbers and Keynote documents. There will be about 30-40 documents on each of those apps. If I do need the extra space I do have the money for the next size up (256gb). On the MacBook I will also have photos on iPhoto that I will be editing. Thanks

    You won't have any problem with that amount of documents, unless they are very heavy.
    128 GB are enough for most users unless you need to store a lot of files. Respecting to photos, it depends on the amount of photos you want to store, so you will have to check this.
    If you get a MacBook Pro with Retina display with 128 GB and you see that you haven't got enough storage, you can return it during the first 14 days of use and get one with 256 GB. Another option is to get an external drive

  • I have pages, numbers and keynote on my macbook pro, but when i try to use the apps on my new iMac it will not let me save

    I purchased Pages, Numbers and Keynote for my MacBook Pro and iPad last year.  I just purchased a new iMac for my wife and it came with iWorks.  When I try to save a document on the iMac it tells me I must buy an iWorks serial number, but the App Store shows the applications as installed and will not process the request.  How do I correct?

    Did you pay for iWorks to come preinstalled on the iMac? Because it sounds like what you have is a trial version, which is why it is stating that you need to buy a serial number.
    I suggest that you delete the entire trial iWorks suite. Once they are safely in the Trash where the Mac App Store can't see them, you can sign into your account on the MAS and download the MAS versions that you own a license to use.
