Pages will not display

Hello Apple Community,
I have an interesting question regarding Apple Pages.
Last week (11/24/14) I did the upgrades for iWorks and got the new Pages, Numbers, and Keynote.  No problems with Numbers or Keynote, however, Pages has ceased to function.  Pages will open, show that a document is opened, register that the document has been opened (when I look at the "get info" part of the file).  However, nothing displays.  Everything seems as if it is invisible...there is nothing on the display.  I'm not sure how else to describe it, but Pages is invisible.  Under the tabs at the top of the screen, Pages is displayed, along with File, Edit, etc...but many, many of the options are blacked out, as if I can't select them.  I can select "open recent" and those files will all open, so to speak, but once again, they are all invisible and not being displayed.
So what have I tried already?
First, I uninstalled everything and reinstalled Pages from the old '09 CD (with the 9.3 update) that I got back in 2010.  Same problem.  And THAT has me concerned.  I've basically redone everything to what was the factory settings, but still nothing has solved the problem. 
I've also shut down my iCloud account to see if that was creating any compatibility issues.  I'm thinking this is a software issue over a hardware issue.
I'm not sure if this was caused by upgrading to OS X 10.10.1?  I skipped Maverick and upgraded straight from Snow Leopard...I know, crazy huh?  So maybe that has something to do with it?  I'm considering looking for some pre-Maverick operating systems to revert to, maybe Lion or Mountain Lion?  Storage space shouldn't be creating an issue, as I have over 80 gigs still available, nor should memory be an issue, as I'm running with 8 gigs of RAM. 
So...do you have any suggestions or have you ever heard of this issue before?  Numbers and Keynote work just fine, and Pages WILL open, just not display.
As always, thank you for your help and please let me know if there is any more information you need to help me get to the root of this.

Greetings friends,
I have some updates for you all with how this issues is progressing.
I followed a good number of troubleshooting techniques found on the Apple site and they mostly cleared things up.  I tried starting up in safe mode and sure enough everything worked well.  However, the computer was sure running quick for safe mode, no white flashes on the screen, no indication that it was in fact IN safe mode in the first place.  So when I checked under the System Report in "About this Mac" sure enough, I had done a normal boot.  (Peculiar)
And...Pages was working!  So I opened Keynote and Numbers only to find that the problem had migrated there!  Sure enough, it migrated!!  So here I am, testing and retesting to see just what is triggering the effect.  As things stand now, on the initial boot, Keynote won't display.  To get Keynote to display, I have to log out and log back in again.  On this (and subsequent log in/outs) Keynote will display but then Numbers won't.  If I want Numbers to display again, I have to re-initiate the entire sequence.  In other words, physically restart the computer.  This then puts me at having Pages display, and toggling back and forth between Numbers and Keynote.
As an aside, I should mention that being logged out from inactivity or the screen saver, etc hasn't had any effect on the programs, only the Shift+Command+Q logout seems to affect which program will display and which program will not.
So are we talking virus here?  I want to think not.  And really, no files have been lost as far as I can tell; it's just become quite inconvenient to have to log out and in to load either of the two programs.  I'm confident that there is something corrupted in the startup files.  All three programs are functional, and I can access the files once it will display.
Thankfully, there is a MacStore that just opened on December 6th here in Toledo, OH.  I'll probably head out there this coming week or weekend to avoid the huge rush they'll have at the opening.
As always, if you have any suggestions, please let me know.  Thank you for all that you do,
jroode

  • Oem web page will not display after O/S dst patch

    Hello,
    The Grid web page will not display after we DST patch for the o/s.
    All below start fine without any errors:
    emctl start oms
    emctl start iasconsole
    opmnctl startall
    emctl start agent
    The Grid web page is not displaying. What might happened after the o/s dst patch that might cause this? Our GRID is 10204 with a 10104 repository. The 10104 has not yet been dst patch.
    What logs should I be looking at to figure why the web page is not displaying? Thank you.

  • Page will not display properly with inline Frames

    I have a html page that will not display properly in Dreamweaver. I have a basic understanding of html and want to be able to edit a website in Dreamweaver that was given to me. It looks fine in a browser, but in Dreamweaver some of the content is missing and displays the following message, "Your browser does not support inline frames or is currently configured not to display inline Frames". I was able to open it without any problems using Microsoft Front Page, so is it possible to view and edit it in Dreamweaver?

    Without seeing your page, I'm guessing that your page contains server-side includes, iframes and  scripts to other files on the server that populate page with content on the server's end.  You can't see it in DW because you don't have all the files in your DW local site folder.  You said this views fine in FP.  Was your page created in FP with FP proprietary tools?

  • CmcApp home.faces page will not display.

    We have just completed (?) the installation of BOJ 3.1 XI SP 3 and the BOJ SAP integration kit SP 3. The installation is on SQL Server 2008 and SAP Netweaver 7.01 SP 7.
    Each time after logging in the the CmcApp page using Administrator and the Enterprise authentication, the next page does not display. In IE8 a download window opens. In IE7 and Firefox the garbage is displayed. I have seen this thread: Re: CmcApp bug on BOE 3.1 using SAP WAS 7.0 and set *.faces to NEVER COMPRESS without any success. The thread just list is still marked as unanswered after a year.

    Hi,
    As per my knowledge, we need to do some changes in the application server configurations, in your case it is SAP Netweaver 7.01 SP 7 when BOE is deployed to the SAP NW Java server.
    Try the below steps and do verify once again whether it resolves the issue:
    1.     Launch the Visual Administrator tool.
    2.     Connect to the SAP J2EE Engine by clicking Connect -> Login, select the appropriate connection, and click on the Connect button. Enter the password and click on the Connect button.
    3.     Navigate to the HTTP Provider service by going to the Cluster tab, expanding Server, expanding Services, and clicking on HTTP Provider.
    4.     On the right side of the screen, click on the Properties tab.
    5.     Click on the AlwaysCompressed key. At the bottom of the screen in the Value field, remove "text/html" (without the quotes). Click on Update.
    6.     Click on the NeverCompressed key. At the bottom of the screen in the Value field, add "text/html" (without the quotes). Click on Update.
    7.     At the top of the screen, click on the Save Properties button.
    8.     Restart the NetWeaver server.

  • On the etap hotel site, the map page will not display

    <blockquote>Locking duplicate thread.<br>
    Please continue here: [/questions/780195]</blockquote><br>
    On the etap hotel site www.etaphotel , when i click on map, nothing is displayed. The page just has a space on it.

    Hi Fisher,
    Unfortunately, In a smartform, only single main window is continued to all pages even though you can declare windows under each page as main window, but it actually acts as the same window for all pages. It just means that if text from 1st page is overflowed, it will continue to the next page with main window.
    Command line to go to next page will create an extra page but since text is not flowed in main window, it won't print the text element you have included in main window on third page.
    The solution to your problem as I see is that either you include your terms and conditions in the main window of your first page and just before your text element for T&Cs, use Command to go to third page.
    Hope it helps.

  • Basic html page will not display for my client!

    I have built a new website for a client, and I have plonked
    it in a folder on his server so that he can view it without it
    being live, but when he views it from his office, the url (which is
    correct) loads a page stating that the page could not be found. I
    have loaded a preliminary design on a different server, and he can
    see that. (Just to clarify, I have loaded it on his server because
    his server will display php, my servers are windows and don't do
    php, that's why it's a preliminary design on my server)
    Everybody I have sent this url to can see the new site design
    in the sub-folder, it even works on my iPhone, but none of his pc's
    in his office can get to the page. Any ideas as to why? As a test,
    the home page is currently very basic html, it simply says in h1
    'Can you see this?' but still no joy.
    There must be something he has on his system that stops his
    network for accessing new files on his own website, but what?
    Thanks

    Could it be a Firewall issue?

  • Firefox start up page will not display/load correctly. I have removed and reinstalled with no luck.

    When I click on Firefox, the icon will appear as if the page has loaded. When I rest my curser over the icon it will display an un-interactive, small window, but will not load an active, full size window. I am unable to find "Troubleshooting Information" as listed below.

    Can you start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> by holding down the Shift/Options key?
    You can use one of these to start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u>:
    *On Windows, hold down the Shift key while starting Firefox with a double-click on the Firefox desktop shortcut
    *On Mac, hold down the Options key while starting Firefox
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled

    It is possible that your security software (firewall, anti-virus) blocks or restricts Firefox or the plugin-container process without informing you, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.
    Remove all rules for Firefox and the plugin-container from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full, unrestricted, access to internet for Firefox and the plugin-container process and the updater process.

  • The main window of third page will not display the text element

    Hey, smartform guru,
    I am working on the smartform to print PO data.
    The smartform has first page and next page as usual.
    I created a third page P_TERMS to print the terms and conditions for PO printout.
    I used commend node to assign the page P_TERMS as the "Go to new page" and it did go to the P_TERMS page but the text element will not print in the main window in P_TERMS page.
    The text element will print in the secondary window.Since the terams and conditions are 4 pages long, I expected it to print in the main window, so I do not have to define several extra pages to print them.
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance!

    I can see MyPage.jspx in the Design view, but when I run it, it does not display in the browser. All I see in the browser is a rotating “O” and the message “Loading”. After adding security to the application, I get the login page in the browser, but after logging in I still just get the rotating “O” and “Loading” in the browser. The browser I’m using is Internet Explorer 7.
    Please help or suggest where I could look further for an answer.

  • Administrator page will not display

    Running Windows 2003 server with Sun webserver and CFMX 6.1
    Upgraded to CFMX 7. Followed instructions to install in the
    default directory c:\cfmx7. Next step was to open CFMX
    administrator page (http:\\127.0.0.1\cfide\administrator\index.cfm)
    to run the upgrade wizard. The problem is the page opens but does
    not display properly. Displays in the browser as a jumble of text.
    It also shows that it is opening under version 6.1.
    Any suggestions?

    Sounds like perhaps the web server connector for Sun
    Webserver hasn't updated itself correctly?
    I remember having loads of manual hacking fun with
    connectors, multiple instances back with iPlanet and early versions
    of SunOne webserver 6.

  • Add-On page will not display properly

    Using Firefox 28.0 and when I go to the Get Add-On tabs the page does not render correctly. I basically get plain text and hyperlinks. The other tabs work fine. Same thing happens when I attempt to open https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ in the Firefox browser. If however I search for an Add-On the search result page renders correctly however whenever I attempt to install any add-on the downloading image comes up for a second then it says Error Downloading.
    I have tried everything I can think of and have found in help forums. I even did a complete uninstall and reinstalled Firefox 28.0.
    Any help would be appreciated!

  • Revised Page will not display properly

    Hi, I have a website that I updated last night. One of the changes (spelling) updated fine. The other change was to add two PDFs that viewers can look at and print off. I have the same thing on other pages in the site and they work fine. I re-saved the html files and reloaded the changed files and it looks fine in preview  but not live (Safari). It is hosted on GoDaddy so I reloaded the content via their site.  I tried to attach screen shots so you could see what the situation looks like but I could not get them to load...Thanks.

    Ada,
    I guess I got the issue wrong. It is the hyperlinks which are not "getting diplayed" properly however the link on then still works fine (when you click on them, it opens up the pdf file). Correct?
    Could you please check if it displays fine when you preview it in a web browser locally?
    If in preview it is not displaued as required then could you please email us your .muse file at [email protected] ? You can use Adobe SendNow service (https://sendnow.acrobat.com) in case the file is larger than 20 MB.
    It will help us troubleshoot the issue.

  • Follow up to .JSP page will not display on GoDaddy Linux hosting

    I think my last post got locked but I wanted to explain my reasoning (I am not trying to abuse a forum). I think forums are filled with wonderful people who may have dealt with similar issues. This is my first Java hosted project so I was just hoping someone had some insight.
    http://forums.sun.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10571512#10571512
    I am not trying to use this as a GoDaddy support forum. I have tried calling GoDaddy multiple times and they do not know why it does not work. There response is&hellip; &ldquo;we do not provide support for scripting&rdquo;. Please, correct me if I am wrong here, but the JSP file I am trying to display does not contain any scripting. Is that a true statement?
    To give an update&hellip;
    I logged in this morning and now, the JSP page displays. I was aware that GoDaddy redeploy&rsquo;s Tomcat every night at around 1:00 am Arizona time, but I am not sure why this corrected the issue.
    When I was testing locally, I could place any new JSP files in Tomcat and view it without having to do a redeploy. Why does this work differently on GoDaddy? I am assuming it has something to do with the shared hosting but I am not sure what. Does any one have any insight on this?

    Stop creating OT threads in this forum. Your question isn't related to Java programming at all. Ask the GoDaddy support.
    I'm locking this thread, and your account might get blocked if you continue to create new threads with questions that aren't related to Java.

  • .JSP page will not display on GoDaddy Linux hosting

    Hello
    I would appreciate any help anyone can provide me. I can not get a .JSP page to display on a deluxe hosted GoDaddy account. I have tried the most basic page. Just to make sure I do not have a type-o, I even used an HTML page to direct me.
    Here is the HTML page that has the hyperlink. This page displays fine.
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
         Here is a test page
         <a href="test.jsp">Test JSP</a>
    </body>
    </html>Here is the JSP page that can not be displayed.
    <%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
        pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1"%>
    <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
    <html>
    <head>
    <title>Test</title>
    </head>
    <body>
         Here is a test JSP page
    </body>
    </html>When I click on the link, I get the HTTP 400 error saying the webpage could not be found. I know the code works since I have tested it locally. Plus the code is very simple.
    I am very stumped here and have tried GoDaddy’s help multiple times. They keep telling me it is a scripting issue. I am not sure how it can be a scripting issue because there is no script here. Basically, it is an HTML page with a .JSP extension.
    If anyone can provide advice or know what is wrong, I would very much appreciate the time and knowledge!!!

    I just happened to google "godaddy jsp" and this was one of the top hits:
    [http://help.godaddy.com/topic/319/article/1583]
    I'd say they don't serve up .jsp pages by default, you have to do something to get them to serve it up.
    You know, just because it's a simple HTML page doesn't mean the server knows that. It apparantly can serve up .html and probably other static content, but a .jsp is a special animal because it could contain server-side code. Their server would need to be able to compile them and have a special handler to serve them up, just like all J2EE app servers do. Not all servers are J2EE app servers out of the box.

Maybe you are looking for
