A Pages document will not open.  Others do, but are slow.  Need this document!

A Pages document will not open and there is a screen annoucement it will not open.  Other Pages documents do open, but are slow.  The one that will not open now was also very slow.  My last visit to the Apple store the Genius Bar said I needed a new HD.  Is this the final straw and it's time to take it in and let them replace it?  Under warrently.

Do we know what document won't open?
Do we also know what version of Pages you are talking about, on what MacBook Pro?
Something tells me you are not using Mac OSX (10.7), the only thing you have noted.
If your Mac is running slow, the usual reason is your hard drive is too full. OSX likes 10-15% free space.

  • I can not click certain tabs on my Etsy page & they will not open using Firefox, but I am able to open these tabs on Etsy when using Internet Explorer

    When I am signed onto Etsy, there are certain tabs on the top of the page that I can not click open when using firefox, but when I use Internet Explorer, I am able to click open these tabs. The following tabs on my etsy page will not open: Your Shop, Your Account, Help, & Sign Out
    Other tabs on the same page will let me click them open, such as:
    Buy, Sell, Community, Blog, Mobile, when using Firefox & Internet Explorer

    Both the Yahoo! Toolbar extension and the Babylon extension have been reported to cause an issue like that. Disable or uninstall those add-ons.

  • One of my pages documents will not open. the others will

    Hello, wondering if anyone has any answers here. One  (only one) of my pages document will not open. The message says `the document couldn`t be opened` and there is a little yellow triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle of it,  next to the message. I used this document this morning, no problem. Also, I checked other pages documents and there is no problem only with one.
    Kind regards,
    Thank you

    Hi italiancooking,
    This may help. In Finder, right click (or control click) on the document icon and Open With > Preview. If this works, copy the content and paste it into a new blank Pages document.

  • Pages '08 will not open .doc documents after upgrading to Mavericks

    Since updating to Mavericks Pages '08 will not open .doc documents even when created with Pages.

    I am unable to check what you have on your Mac so you will have to run your own series of tests to determine exactly where the problem lies.
    Starting with the file extension on the Word files.
    You didn't say, but have you installed Pages 5?
    Is your previous installation of Pages '08 in your Applications/iWork folder?

    You should be able to Save as: iWork 08, but i don't know how it works on Mountain Lion. On my Snow Leopard the Save as window has a part looking like this
    Or you can send me the document if you are in a hurry and I save it as iwork 08 for you. Click on my blue name and you'll find my address.

  • Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. Any help?

    Pages app unexpectedly quit whilst I was in the middle of a document. I can now not open it AT ALL. I find it's not just that particular document that won't open, but any of my Pages docs will not open using the current version of Pages. The reports of the app unexpectedly closing each time, automatically went to Apple, but I am not sure what happens with them then. Does anyone know how to help me with this? We live in a very isolated region so rely on internet help. Thanks

    I also managed to read a few other discussions about Pages and files not being able to open. I actually went to the last back-up and restored the computer from that and everything seemed to work ok again, which is great!...advice from another discussion I think you may have been involved in PeterB. Thanks for the advice...also this advice, as I will make a note of trying to open using the Shift key if it happens again and see what happens...might be an easier first option than restoring from a back-up. Thans heaps for the help!
    I was interested to read some of the other discussions where it was stated that Pages '09 seems to be a better option to use. I have both installed, so I will lkeep this in mind. Thanks heaps!

  • Page documents will not open.

    Suddenly some of my page documents will not open. I get this message: You need a newer version of Pages to open this document. I have the newest version and it has been opening these documents just fine previously

    Sounds like you have both Pages 5 and Pages '09 on your Mac and are alternately opening them.
    When Pages 5 was installed, your iWork '09 software was moved to your Applications/iWork folder.
    Pages '09 can not open Pages 5 .pages files.
    Don't toss Pages '09 however as it has vastly more features and is less buggy than Pages 5.

  • Cloud documents will not open today?

    Local Pages documents on my Mac will open as normal. Cloud documents will not open today. They worked yesterday.
    Does anyone else have this problem? And did you find a solution?
    Many thanks
    Iain

    OK, I'm replying to my own post.
    I have two documents saved to the Cloud which will not open on my iMac. When I tried to duplicate one in the "open" window, Mac OS brought up a warning that the document was being modified. When I checked it on my iPad the document did not exist. So something went wrong during a sync at some point. On the iPad I could duplicate the document and now I can edit the duplicate on my iMac.
    Summary: at the moment it looks like sync problems with specfic documents and not a general problem.

  • Pages simply will not open

    Hi,
    My apologies if this has been covered, but I'm at my wits end with my ipad 2.
    I've updated to iOS7 a month ago and my iMac only yesterday to Mavericks. Now, Pages simply will not open on my iPad. I had no problems with pages until the Maverick upgrade. Until then, everything was hunky dory.
    I have rebooted, restored my iPad 2 and deleted all my pages files from iCloud and still it will not open.
    Pages will open however, once I set the preferences to local, no longer using iCloud on my iPad 2.
    Naturally, this is far from ideal as I tend to finish work on my iPad 2 that I started on my iMac.
    Do you have any idea why it's not working any longer?
    Any help gladly welcome.
    Tarmac.

    Hi JimHdk,
    Thank you for your recent help and advice. I had already tried a soft and hard reset of my ipad, along with a full restore. None of those helped sadly.
    However, I did have some success yesterday.
    I downloaded all the files from icloud to my iMac and then wiped iCloud clean. I connected my iPad to the iMac and then did another fresh restore of IOS7 and it seems to have cured the problem.
    After the restore, I synced with iCloud and as there was nothing on it; it took no time at all. Then I added a file to icloud via the iMac and it appeared on my iPad 20 seconds later. It seems to be all working again, so perhaps it was just persistence on my part?
    Either way, it now works. Try that qtrust and see if it works for you?
    Thanks,
    Tarmak

  • HT2693 My Pages App will not open after I recently updated it. I'm afraid to lose all my docs if I delete the App and re-install.

    My Pages App will not open after I recently updated it. I'm afraid to lose all my docs if I delete the App and re-install.

    First of all - you are running the proper iOS in order to use the latest version of Pages - correct? You need iOS 6 now.
    If so ....See if this helps. Maybe Pages will open after you try this.
    Quit the Pages app completely and restart the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or ..... Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    If that didn't help backup and send your files into iTunes with file sharing.
    You could lose all of your files if you delete and reinstall the app. That is precisely why you should backup your iPad and send your files into iTunes using files sharing on the iPad. Do you backup or use file sharing?
    Backup your iPad, send the files from the iPad into iTunes using file sharing and then delete the app and reinstall it.
