Please could anyone try to offer me assistance. bacause it is very urgent.
I will be very grateful if anyone can help me.

Hi, Peter
I followed the instriction, and changed to root to locate /.DocumentRevisions-V100/
I can see several ______.pages file under the ./DocumentRevisions-V100/PerUID/
From the "Date Modified" attribute, I can find several __.Pages files that what I want.
But unfortunately, when I tried to open these version files, it still shows
The document can not be read. The Document does not have a valid format....

  • The document could not be read: the document does not have a valid format.

    I created a 10MB document in Pages about a week ago. Around that time, I reopened the document and edited it with no problems. A week later, I've tried to open the document but Pages gives me the following error:
    The document "[Document Name].pages" could not be read. The document does not have a valid format.
    I created, edited, and saved this document in Pages, so I am confused as to why Pages would be unable to re-open the file, especially as I haven't done anything to it since it worked last. I was worried that my hard drive might have corrupted the file so I ran diagnostic tests but everything was fine. I was also worried that because the file is synced with my iDisk that iDisk corrupted the file while syncing it or something but I don't know what I could do to check this. Either way, it's an important file and I need to open it: I thought that by putting it on iDisk I would have a copy in case something happened to my computer but this seems not to have helped (and maybe hurt!).
    Any file recovery tools or other ways that I can open this file?

    No, I don’t have Pages ’08 installed, but did in the past—is this a current issue?
    Pages ’09 is registered.
    I have tried dragging the file onto the app icon directly.
    To recover at least the text, I did the “rename as zip, open index.xml” trick. Of course, in order to interpret that file, you do have to understand XML (thank god I do)… but if I hadn’t, man that would’ve been a major bummer.

    I bought Adobe Elements 12; I cannot use panorama photomerge, I have followed the directions to go to Full Edit  mode in edit workspace> choose File> New> Photomerge. However the Photomerge does not work, it does not respond.
    The only thing I can come up with is that I found a blog that said that in the Trial version Photomerge does not work, however I do Not have the Trial version, I did at one time but I purchase Adobe Elements. Thank you.

    The blog was incorrect. Photomerge should work in the trial, too.

    After the Apple logo appears, what happens then? Can you hear any sounds or if you tap on the screen, does it seem like apps can open or are you just seeing a black screen? You might have a hardware problem, but you can try restoring the software and see what happens.
    Read this in its entirety before you do anything. Make sure you read the sections at the end about using recovery mode.

  • Saved keynote document could not be read. Error message says The document does not have a valid format.

    Using Keynote '09 on an iMac OS 10.8.4. Two of my students saved a Keynote file then the next day when trying to open received an error message- The document "4b Molly.key" could not be read. The document does not have a valid format. The students are saving correctly. Any ideas how we can retrieve a working file? Why did this happen?

    Just tagging on as I encounted this problem this morning.  I'm using Mavericks, on MBP (late 2013). 
    Have both Keynote 5 and 6 - tried to open the file in both, to no avail.   I have also tried the renaming of .key to .zip that seemed to work for others with previous OS, but does not fix now.  Also tried uploading to iCloud, renaming, redownloading - no fix there either.  I've tried to open on iPad and on a different user's iMac - again, get the same error.
    It worked yesterday and the day before.  It is a large file; however, I realized that from last night to this morning the only different thing I did was that I inserted photos in the keynote deck by drag & drop verses Insert/Choose and wondering if this corrupted the file.
    I'm going to hope a fix is out there somewhere and that I don't have to spend hours upon days upon weeks redoing this 98+ page deck.
    Any suggestions?

  • The document does not have a valid format.

    I created a special format document when I had Pages '08. I needed the proportions of the document to match the special paper on which the document would be printed so I created a special size for my document rather than 8 1/2 x 11. If I remember right it was closer to 8 1/2 x 13 or so. Anyway, I have now upgraded to Pages '09 and can no longer open any of these special format documents. I have versions of a couple of the documents that were created in Pages '08 without the special proportional size page and they open without issue. However the special size documents all get "The document does not have a valid format" and will not open. I really NEED these documents. I have seen some posts about renaming to a .zip and then something about an index file but I don't understand where this index file might be and what good it will do to open it. Also I know the files exist because they are still showing their original file sizes (not 0 MB). Any assistance would be appreciated.

    Don't continue to search fruhulda.
    I never saw such files.
    The only things which I may recognize are :
    the strings :
    mluc
    (10) nbNO --> Norvegian
    (16) svSE --> Sveridge
    (4) fiFI --> Finnish
    (1) daDK --> Danish
    (17) zhCN --> Chineese(1)
    (5) frFR --> French
    (8) jaJP --> Japanese
    (3) enUS --> English (US)
    (12) ptBR --> Portuguese (Brasil)
    (15) esES --> Spanish
    (18) zhTW --> Chineese(2)
    (14) ruRU --> Russian
    (9) koKR --> Korean
    (6) deDE --> Deutch (Germany)
    (2) nlNL --> Dutch (Nederland)
    (7) itIT --> Italian
    They are the symbols used to identify the languages used for 16 versions
    Two others are missing:
    (11) Polish (Polska) missing
    (13) Portuguese (Portugal) missing
    I found also
    iMac in plain ASCII and .i.M.A.C (dots are in fact NIL characters) which is the Utf 16 representation of iMac.
    During a few seconds I thought that it was a piece of System Files but the page thumbnail must be available somewhere so that the Finder is able to display it.
    I will send these genetically modified documents to Apple Bugs Hunters.

    I have an Ipad 2 and are having problems sending out emails in one of my email address. This is a POP3 email Account? I always get a message reading that the email was not sent because the server does not allow relaying. I have no such problem with gmail. What could be the problem and how do I resolve this.

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    If you are unable to remember your password, security questions, don’t have access to your rescue address or are unable to reset your password for whatever reason, your only option is to contact Apple ID Support, upon speaking to an operator you should explain that your problem is related to your Apple ID, this way you will not be charged for assistance, even if you don’t have an AppleCare plan.
    The operator will take you through some steps you may have already tried, however they need to be sure they have exhausted all usual approaches before trying to reset your account, so you should try to be helpful and show patience with the procedure.
    The operator will need to verify they are speaking to the account holder and may ask you some questions that only the account holder could know, and you will need to answer them if the process is to proceed.
    Once the operator has verified your identity they will send a message through to your device which contains an alpha numeric code, which you will need to read back to them.
    Once this has been completed they will send an email to your iCloud email address after a period of 24 hours, so you should check that mail is enabled in your devices iCloud settings.
    Upon receipt of the email, use the reset link provided to reset your password, after which you should be able to make the adjustments to iCloud that you wish to do.

  • Pages document "could not be read" bc. it "does not have a valid format"

    The document in question was properly saved and Pages was not open when my computer hung as it was shutting down. MS Word would not quit or force-quit and I had to hard restart the computer. When I later tried to open this Pages document, which I had been working on before Word froze, Page would not open it and responded with the error message: "This document "document_name.pages" could not be read. This document does not have a valid format." When I looked at the document in question I noticed that its file size was 0KB. I have no idea why this happened, but I suppose it has to do with my computer not shutting down properly and perhaps with Word freezing. If I repair my drive permission, re-index it, anything, will it help? Just a note on the status of this machine: spotlight stopped working earlier this morning and I was waiting to finish this document before repairing disk permissions and trying to fix that issue with Spotlight.
    In the meantime I have tried various fixes. First I tried to change the file ending to .zip, unpack it and open it. Then the same, but this time I tried to view package contents. It doesn't show up in the contextual menu as even having a package to show the contents of. The file is effectively empty, but I don't know where the contents went! The funny thing is that the MS Word doc was recovered automatically. Is it possible that Pages doesn't have an auto-recovery mechanism?
    I need this file urgently, or at least the text in it. It is the bibliography of an important paper due tomorrow at 5 pm.Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    BTW, I have used a file-recovery program in the past. It is called "Stellar Phoenix" and it worked wonderfully to find a Word doc that I accidentally deleted. It can't find .pages document though. In order to do so, I would need to tell the program what the average file size is, as well as the header information as follows. "Header (in hexadecimal)" "At Offset (in decimal)". I have no idea what this means, but if I could insert it, perhaps it could find the lost data. Should I have it search for .pages, .zip, .xml? I'm at a loss, but I know that it doesn't recognize .pages. In the meantime, I sent a support email to them and will see what happens.
    Thank you for your help.
    David

    I can't respond before.
    When the system say that your file size is 0KB, it means that nothing was saved. Only a file descripto exists.
    So, there is nothing to recover.
    Given the time the system crashed, you may have :
    (1) a simple descriptor with nothing written
    (2) a folder with every or only some of the required files.
    In this case, Phoenix is useless : it's unable to revive a folder.
    (3) a flatfile (a compressed version of the folder named above). It's only this kind of file which Phoenix may revive.
    With a bit of luck, Phoenix would be able to revive the index.xml file which was in the original folder created in the temporary folder.
    This file starts with :
    <?xml version="1.0"?><sl:document xmlns:sfa="http://developer.apple.com/namespaces/sfa"
    or
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <sl:document xmlns:sfa="http://developer.apple.com/namespaces/sfa"
    The minimal size for a Pages index.xml file is : 520038 bytes.
    If you retrieve the index.xml file, we may try to rebuild an usable package.
    Ask the recovery tool to transfer the recovered file on an other media.
    If the document embedded pictures, the index will give their path and their size which may be useful to recover them.

  • Suddenly double-clicking on a PDF document opens the Acrobat application but the document does not load.

         Up until today I had no problem opening a PDF document that I have already saved by double-clicking on it.  Now when I do that, my Acrobat application opens, but the PDF document does not.  I need to use File/ Open to select the document I want to see, or I need to right mouse click on the PDF document and choose “Open with”.  I had this once before and I had help to resolve this, but I am using Acrobat 7 Professional and since it is not supported, I can’t get help when I call Support.

    Sounds like a Windows problem. Try the right click and then select the ALWAYS open with feature. That is supposed to fix the link. If that does not work, open the file type menu under the TOOLS>Folder Options (XP view, may be other in VISTA). If you select advanced under PDF, you should get a link under the open>edit something like "c:\adobeapp\acrobat 5.0\Acrobat\Acrobat.exe" "%1". The comment you make sounds like the %1 or the quotes are missing. Bill

  • When I open a document in Adobe XI Pro Windows 8.1 I get a white screen and the document does not appear to open, Adobe is 'not responding'

    I purchased a computer with Windows 8 and installed the 8.1 upgrade. I installed Adobe Acrobat XI Pro and have had error messages about specific fonts not being present but the document opens just fine. Other times (about half the time) the document will not open or opens as a blank screen, and eventually Adobe Not Responding appears, with the usual choices to close or look for a solution. If I look for a solution it tells me that no solution was found. I have not found any information online about this problem. I have used Adobe Pro in previous versions in a Windows 7 and Windows XP environment and not had any problems.  Is there a simple solution to this? I have uninstalled and reinstalled Adobe, and still no luck.

    Hi nausm,
    Is this issue specific to the pdf files or do you face the issue with any pdf you try to open?
    Which application was used to create these pdfs?
    Have you updated Acrobat to v11.0.7 and checked?
    Are you able to launch Acrobat standalone app without clicking on any pdfs?
    You are getting error related to specific fonts because the document might have the fonts that are not available on your computer.
    Regards,
    Rave
