Scanned documents won't open in pages.

I have an HP Photosmart D110. I have tried scanning and saving to documents with tiff, jpeg and pdf but when I open pages the documents are greyed out and won't open. I am using Mac OS X version 10.6.8. I am new to Macs and am not tecnical, please help.

The HP scanners usually save to certain default folders which may not have read/write privileges.
Look in the scanner panel and you will see that you can choose to save to another location. Choose your documents folder or desktop.
But I think you are actually trying to open the scans from the Open dialog. Open is for Pages or other WP documents, not for images.
You import the scans by either dragging them into Pages or by going Menu > Insert > Choose…

  • My documents won't open in Pages!

    Can't open my documents in Pages, when I try to tap one it says that I need Internet connection, but I'm connected! On the rest of the documents it looks like it will start download, but it doesn't. Have the same problem on my iPad and iPhone and I really need this documents, so please help!!

    Yes I was connected cause I could brows on different websites. I did save the files to iCloud, but when I tried to download it from iCloud.com I got a error message. Can't se the documents in iTunes either. If I go to Settings-iCloud can I se that they are saved there...

  • My Pages 5.5.2 document won't open in Pages 5.5.2

    So I'm writing an essay and have been writing the essay on the same computer with the same pages from the start till now.  Yesterday I tried to open my document to edit it, and it says "______.pages" can't be opened.  Because of this, I decided to retype it by looking off of the old copy.  Today when I tried to edit what I wrote it said the same thing as before.  I looked up everything and could not find out the problem.  Please help.

    Thanks for that, will keep in mind for the future. Fortunately with my current files I was able to open them on my Macbook Pro so then exported them as a Pages 09 file and then they now open fine on my iMac.  It only appears to be recently saved files that I am having problems with, files saved in older versions seem to open up fine.  Does make you think twice before upgrading!!!  Thanks for your help!

  • I have a mac air and an iMac and both have Pages. I use Pages on my air and save all documents to iCloud. I can see them on my iMac but it won't open with Pages. It becomes visible if I change it to open with preview but I can't interact with it.

    I have an mac air and an iMac 5k - pages runs on both.  I use pages on my air and save all my documents to iCloud drive. I can see the documents on my iMac but some won't open in pages which is bizarre? They will open if I change it to open with preview but then all I can do is read it  - I can't add to the document - All I want is to be able to see all my documents on all my devices and to be able to have them sync so I can add to the documents from  any of my devices. I also have an iPhone 6 and an iPadair2 but I would be happy just to have the iMac and macair sync for starters. I have folders within folders in my documents,. The folders which contain pdf's and individual files open OK . The one I am having difficulty with is the file which I use for ongoing correspondence - in other words it is quite long - I keep adding to it  ( by copying letters in and letters out so I can see a sequential history of what has been going on by scrolling down ) in date order so that it could be 1 - 100 pages long - but I don't think the size is a problem. I don't understand why some folders can open and others not . Has anyone any suggestions please. I have been trying to get this to work for months since iCloud drive came in. It has got much better but it is still not good enough  - or maybe it's me?

    All I can suggest is that you open that file on the MBA and save it as a new file, then see if you can open the new one on the iMac.

  • Recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. What now?

    Pages question: recent update OS10.5 to 10.6 to Lion. Using Pages (4.1) only some documents intermittently
    won't open. At Genius bar loaded new copy Pages; reloaded Lion clean install. Still won't open although will on another computer. On the other Mac (running Lion), saved a copy of a document with a new name and sent it back to first computer. At first it would open, but now it as well as multiple other Pages documents won't open. What now?

    yes;
    I got Pages to work now- there were two versions, one Universal, and one Intel- by moving the Universal to trash ( although I can't delete it) and moving Intel version to iWorks folder in Applications, it is now working. Doesn't explain why it didn't work though- the other MacBook pro 17 inch that could open all the Pages documents also has two copies of Pages as I see now....
    I still however can't open Numbers documents on the MacBook pro 15 inch.... it is a Universal version of Numbers.

  • HT4942 pages document won't open on ipad or icloud

    I have created a document in pages on my ipad. 
    All of a sudden after switching to another document and then trying to switch back, on my ipad which wasn't connected to the internet at the time, I could no longer open my document in Pages.
    I message popped up saying document won't open.  I tried making a copy of it and the copy had the same error message when I tried to open it. I tried emailling and exporting it in the ipad Pages app but it froze up when trying to do it and didn't work.
    I logged onto icloud and I see the document there but it won't open. I get a message that says "Document Can't be downloaded, please try again"
    Is there any way to recover this document?  It is so frustrating because I can see what I wrote is still there in the thumbnail - but I just can't get the actual document.

    It isn't complicated if you don't use it. Like Apple.

  • .pages file created in Pages for Mac won't open in Pages for iPad

    Just created a pages document on my Mac, saved it to my google drive and when attempting to "open in" from my google drive the file won't open in pages for iPhone or iPad (mini).
    All versions of Pages are on latest release.
    Messge reads:
    Document can't be imported.
    The file format is invalid.
    I download both the mac app and ios app a week ago.
    Thank you for any info!

    I've been testing file structures via google drive this morning and have yet to find a solution.
    Compressed files will not open in Pages on the ipad and an upload to Google Drive of a .pages document re downloaded to my desktop will no longer open in Pages on the Mac.
    Somewhere in the google ecosystem during upload or download / "open in" (on the ipad) the file is being restructured so that it cannot be recognized.
    An hour call with the team at Google hasn't supplied an answer yet and they have opened a case file to investigate.
    I'll update when I hear back.
    Thanks!

  • Safari won't open any page

    I'm using 7.0.5 Safari on Maveriks
    Safari won't open any page, unlimit loading... ... ...
    Chrome and other browsers - working good, no errors.
    App Store and Updates - work well
    No network issues.
    Safari - clear cache and reset safari - didn't work.
    hosts file is ok
    no extensions
    delete all plug-ins except default ones.
    hm.. what else...
    apple extreme wifi router - work's well.
    Other devices at home has internet on it, other macbook pro doesn't have a problem with safari.
    in console - no errors
    any page won't load in safari, just a white screen and loading progress..
    What should I do?

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    Step 1
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
    Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
    While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
    Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
    After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
    *Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
    Step 2
    The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
    Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
    Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
    After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • Safari won't open a page

    Hey!
    I've got a big problem: My Safari wasn't able to open a page. So I decided to uninstall it. When I installed it again I still had the same problem as before:
    Safari won't open a page. Even not google.de or google.com
    Firefox works perfect, it's only Safari...
    Is there anything wrong with the Internetoptions? I'm connected wireless with an airportExtreme since two weeks. I don't now if it was working before...
    Anyone knows a solution? : )
    Thank you...
    Björn

    ok, i've found the problem myself... The app piclens made the problem... now it's working fine : )

  • Safari won't open any pages since I downloaded McScan Beta V

    I downloaded McScan's Beta version the other day from securemac. Since then, Safari won't open ANY pages at all, giving me the message, "Safari can't connect to server"
    "Safari can’t open the page “http://aol.com/” because it could not connect to the server “aol.com”.
    I dragged McScan to the trash, and still won't work. I also ran through the Safari Preferences, and made sure I had followed their suggestions, "”.Choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Security. Make sure that the checkboxes to use plug-ins, Java, and JavaScript are selected and that the "Block pop-up windows" checkbox is not selected." Still no luck.
    Any idea how I can get Safari to work again?
    Thanks,

  • Safari won't open most pages

    Safari Mavericks suddenly won't open many pages, including Apple's! Many posts on this, it's not just mine. Modem is working fine.

  • Safari won`t open private pages made in iweb

    Safari won`t open private pages made in iweb, but it works in Firefox! Why is this happening! It even works in internet explorer! But in Safari it doesn`t, it just can`t load the page, the login dialog doesn`t show up, it just stand there trying to load the page! Please help?

    Here is what finally worked for me based on a post I saw on another thread. Apparently the login.keychain file for the use is corrupted.
    Trash the "login.keychain" file located in the Keychains in the users Home folder.
    (Users/yourname/Library/Keychains/
    Then access the site once more. It now works as expected. You will need to authenticate the new keychain file and grant access when needed for the website to use your login keychain.

  • Pages Document won't open

    Hello, in need of desperate help. Im having trouble opening a pages document I saved. It's coming up with the following error 'document could not be handled because Pages cannot open files in the “data” format. Is there any way to fix this? thank you in advance

    Hi,
    I also have problem with a presumably corrupt file. My tip is to open the XML document with Safari and then copy and paste the text into a new document. That way you get rid of the whole <xxx> tags in one swoop. However, you also loose formatting and paragraphs that way.
    This just happened to me:
    • Pages immediaately crashes when I try to open a 200+ pages document....
    • The same happens with my Backup files...
    • When I try to open it with the File:Open menu, the same thing.
    • When I try to drag and drop the file into a blank document, it says (among other things) that the file might be corrupted....
    • When I look at the package contents, i can open and read every single file just fine!
    • So what is pages doing? it doesn't even try to recover it!
    Actually, «Apple», it would be very very easy to write a small script to convert this XML file into RTF or even better yet, have an option to read it back (recover) into Pages. Why don't you do this?? Really?
    Thanks,
    Gary
