Recently I updated to Maverick -- I also updated Numbers, Pages and Keynote. NOW, I cannot open my pages documents. I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages. I have the newest version (5.2). How do I get around this to view my documents?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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.
Pages 5.2 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Older versions of Pages 5 can not open files from later versions of Pages 5.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud and opened in a newer version of Pages 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 almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

I have had the same problem with firefox on facebook. It has happened for the last couple weeks. I can receive gifts under requests and every game I try crashes. I can usually read my homepage. this is getting really bad. I have cleared caches,downloaded what I am told to download to update, and cleared history and cookies and still happens , and have been told to get rid of firefox. what is the problem? and when I sent reports , nothing. and sent emails to all the games and told them and asked for help and never get responses. should I through the computer out the window, or delete you? I know they keep changing things on the games and that usually crashes stuff on mine, but all the time? this sucks. and I probably won't get a response from you either,but if this continues I will have to say, bye bye.It's ridiculous..before the crashes, it would take me over 2 hours to do a game and work on it. there was life before this and will be afterwards. it also happens on my regular email..not the crashing, but so slow and the download goes up and goes way down to almost nothing and keeps doing that.please help us all..thanks.

I was at Apple Store yesterday and they created a pages document for me. When I got home and tried to open it, I get a message that I need a newer version of Pages. I see the image when I before I push "open". The 'kind' is pages publication.

Just be careful with Pages 5, it is not strictly an upgrade.
Apple has actually removed over 90 features and some work can be very difficult in the newer version.
It was all done to make it more interchangeable with the inferior iOS version:

Hi meliniesittigLCSW,
Where are you seeing that message? Do you already have Acrobat installed? If not, you can install it by following the instructions in this document: Creative Cloud Help | Install, update, or uninstall apps

When trying to connect to google+, I get a message that I need a new version of Firefox. I have the newest version (6). I can get gmail, but cannot connect to google+. Please help

I cannot connect to my new google+ account using Firefox 6. When I try to access google+ I get a message that I need to update Firefox, which I have done twice. I can access gmail and everything else that google has to offer - I think. Please help.
Thank you

Open System Preferences > Network > Advanced > Proxies
Deselect any checked boxes on the left then click OK.
If none of those boxes were selected, it might be a Safari extension causing the proxy dialog.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.

HT204370 I try to connect Disney Movies Anywhere account to iTunes and I keep getting a window that wants me to download iTunes. I already have the latest version of iTunes.

I am trying to link my Disney Movies Anywhere (DMA) account with my iTunes account following the instructions on the DMA website. I am redirected to Apple's website to download iTunes. I already have iTunes on my computer. I followed the Apple prompts and iTunes was uninstalled and reinstalled and I still cannot link the two accounts.

This is what someone else suggested on one of these threads. I was having the exact same problem, but this worked out for me! I hope it works out for you too.

I don't know if this will fix your problem but it fixed mine. Everytime I clicked connect it would prompt me to download iTunes even though I already have it until I tried using the Google Chrome browser (it wouldn't work in IE) but in google when I clicked connect it opened my iTunes application and iTunes prompted me to connect the accounts. Hope this helps.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
iTunes in Mac OS X Tiger is outdated. Open  > Software Update to install the latest iTunes version for Tiger.
If you need iTunes 10.7 or a newer version, you have to upgrade to Mac OS X Snow Leopard. First, check that your Mac is supported > http://support.apple.com/kb/sp575 If it is, buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After buying Snow Leopard, make a backup of your data, insert the DVD and upgrade to Snow Leopard. After upgrading, open  > Software Update, and install the latest Snow Leopard version. Finally, run Software Update again to install iTunes 11.0.4. If you want to install iTunes 10.7 instead, download it from the Apple website > http://support.apple.com/kb/dl1576

When I installed the newest update it said some of the features were incompatible with this version of Firfox yet when Firfox starts it says I have the newest version.

I got a new update. I installed it and it said that some of the features were not installed because they incompatible with this version of Fire. I figured "Okay" and continued. When Firefox opened it said I have the "Newest" version. Great, then how come some of the features are not compatible with the "Newest" version. That makes no sense!

It is possible that because of changes made to firefox, some other software used with Firefox may no longer be compatibile (for example some toolbars) or it is possible the software may work with Firefox, but the software does not recognise the version of Firefox.
First of all check the add-ons are up-to-date. Downloading, installing and using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ Compatibility Add-on] may help to allow such Add-ons to be run for testing, and hopefully some may actually work.

If you are having problems, please state the full name and the version number of any add-on or plugin software that is causing a problem.

I wonder if you are running an OS earlier than 10.9.x? If so, you cannot run the *latest* version of Pages, which is 5.1. Apple is trying to get you to update your OS to 10.9 Mavericks and then get you to update (but defintiely not upgrade) your Pages version to 5.1. 5.1 is, in everything but name, beta software. It not only has many bugs, it also lacks more than 90 features that are present in version 4.3 ("Pages 09"). One workaround that is to open the file with Pages for icloud (this is explcitly beta) and click tools|download a copy in Word format. Pages 4.3, which is probably the version you have, can open Word documents. Get a cup of coffee or a glass of wine before starting Pages for icloud: it is s-l-o-w.

Since I have the newest version of itunes, I can't back up like normally. The only way is to considilate files and then put them on an external drive which I don't have. Are there any other options? If I can't back up to a disc like I used to, can I instead just keep everything on my ipod and then if I have to get a new computer or something just download all my songs from the ipod to my new computer's itunes? Will that work? Will I still be able to keep all my songs that way?

I'm going to assume the consolidating files does not work due to hard drive space limitations.
Since you're moving to Windows 7, have you tried using the Windows files and settings transfer utility? That will move everything for you to the same location on the new computer, it also allows some control over what actually gets moved.
Alternatively, if you know the location of all of the media, it can be manually moved by copying it from the old computer to the new computer in the same location.
Also, using the Apple article on moving the library, take a slight twist on what it says. Move the iTunes library to the external drive, update the settings in iTunes to reflect the library being on the external drive, then consolodate it.
The options are endless for moving the library... it simply takes a little effort to make it happen and possibly a twist on existing "standard" methods depending on your unique situation.

HT1550 i have the newest version of itunes and none of that works!!! i dont know where the advanced menu is and i dont think you can select a song anymore

I have the newest version of iTunes and none of that works!!! I don't know where the Advanced Menu is. And I don't think you can select a song anymore. I need to make WAV Files to put them on Windows Media Player so i can download music on my Samsung Intensity 2.

Try placing the iPod in recovery mode and then try to restore. For recovery mode:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
If iTunes still does not see the iPod try:
iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch: Device not recognized in iTunes for Windows

When I visit FAFSA.gov im told browser is incompatible.I have the newest version and windows 7.Why do sites say browser is incompatible?

That pretty well sums it. I am trying to fill out info for gov. aid and can not because the site does not seem to recognize that I have the newest version for windows 7 already.I also get this message on sites like yahoo.games. The site wont let me play some games due to the same.

The FAFSA site doesn't work with Firefox 4+ versions.
You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.
