Application problems with pages and numbers after Yosemite install
Since upgrading to Yosemite and updating my applications, I have problems opening some documents in Pages and Numbers and get a message
You need a newer version of Numbers to open this spreadsheet.
I also have 2 icons for Pages? The old icon and the new?
When an upgrade occurs doesn't the old version normally get "absorbed" by the new version?
What do I need to do to resolve this?
There are other problems in Pages and Keynote and Numbers. When you use the Share tool, and choose Open In Another App...... no apps are listed except for iTunes U. This is an error, as there are several apps available on the ipad that open Pages. Also, in the Share tool, if I select Send a Copy, the email option is not available. We have checked with app developers who say they their most recent app version addresses this issue, but it doesn't.
We have tried to erase and reset the ipad, put everything back, and the problem still exists.

Problems with Pages and Numbers using iCloud Drive on early 2008 MacPro, Yosemite
One of my computers, an early 2008 MacPro running Yosemite, will NOT save Pages or Numbers documents to iCloud Drive from within those applications. I see the little iCloud Drive error badge next to the file name in Finder after I try to save. However, on the SAME computer I can save Pages and Numbers documents to a local drive (e.g., to my Desktop) and then use the Finder to drag the documents to iCloud Drive successfully. Another computer, a MacBook Pro running Yosemite, has no problems using iCloud Drive to create, edit and then save Pages and Numbers documents stored on iCloud Drive. I have tried "turning off" iCloud Drive for Pages and Numbers in System Preferences on the Mac Pro and then turning it back on to no effect. I have also logged out of iCloud Drive on all of my devices (which include two iOS devices) and then logging back in to ensure that I'm using the same login id on all devices, again with no apparent change.
Any suggestions for my next steps in attempting to solve this issue? Is there any way to get more information about precisely what type of error is occurring? Hovering over the badge only shows "Error".
Thanks in advance.
JonFound a solution, but it is odd:
On the 2008 Mac Pro, I UNCHECK the boxes beside Pages and Numbers in System Preferences > iCloud > iCloud Drive > Options. Now Pages and Numbers will properly save edited documents to the appropriate folders on iCloud Drive.
Go figure ...
Hope that this helps someone else.

Synching problems with pages and numbers
After an initial problem with synching which was resolved with Yosemite Pages and Numbers have been synching across all my devices for a couple of weeks and now all of a sudden they have stopped again!! They synch across my phones and iPad but not to my macbook pro!! Very very annoying! How do I resolve it?

Haven't been able to use pages for a while. Keep getting following message. Have tried reinstalling iWork, but no luck. Same problems with Keynote and Numbers/
Have you moved Pages from its installed location? Or just dragged a copy to your current system?
It can't find some of its resources apparently.

Problem with Rescue and Recovery after installing Norton Internet Security 2010
Hi all.
It's my first time in this forum.
I have a problem, with Rescue and Recovery, after installing Norton Internet Security 2010 on my T43.
The message I get it:
"Rescue and Recovery is unable to back up the file 'C:\Documents and settings\all Users\Application Data\ Norton\ 00000082\00000109\000003c1\cltMLS1.bat' Because the file is either corrupted or being used by another application. Please close any application that could be using the file.
I tried to close the Norton but I couldn't find how.
Tanks
Doron71Hi and welcome to the forum,
the reason for this situation is, that the antivir files are protected from being modified.
This is the reason, why this file cannot be backed up. I assume, that you would get much more such messages, as there are surelly multiple files files, that are protected like this.
So the solution is to block folders from being archived. Please start RnR application and in the configuration set this folder as the excluded one.
This will skip the backup of this file and will fix your situation.
Please let me know, if you have covered this.

I purchased a IPad Air with Pages and Numbers included. I was told I could use these apps on my other devices like my MacBook. How do I sync or add these to my macBook?
the free apps are only for ios device (iphone ipad ipod touch) and do not work on mac computers. if you do get pages and numbers on your mac though you can sync the information using icloud

can i safely trash Iwork '08 since i have already Installed Iwork '11 or will i loose my documents made with pages and numbers '08???
You can have multiple versions installed simultaneously. It won't hurt to delete the '08 apps, because the '09 apps will convert '08 to '09, but there is no reason to do the deletion.
You say that you have iWork '11. If that's true, it's really big news. More likely, you have iWork '09.

Does digital vga cable link from ipad2 to external monitor work with pages and numbers
Are you able toutilize pages and numbers on an external monitor with and ipad2 by utilizing a digital VGA cable
Hi ederg:
You may want to download/update: Monitor file for Windows 7 (Thinkpad)
The reason I say that is because the readme it states, "If you use the preload environment, you do not need this package. This package is required when you install Windows OS without the preload image."
Since you setup the Thinkpad with Windows 7 Pro CD and no longer have the preload image, this may fix the problem.
Also, have you checked the website for the displayport manufacturer? They may have updated drivers there that wouldn't have been on the update tool you used.
*Edit* You can also check the: External monitors issues section here. It goes over some basic troubleshooting you may want to try first (I just came across it now)
Let us know how it turns out!

installed ios5 onto my ipad. it updated and restored all info except that although it reinstalled keynote, pages and numbers, the enclosed documents werent there! what can i do?
Just to further clarify. In Settings the Restrictions are not limiting anything. They are not enabled. When I attenpt to delet any app they all start shaking (like normal with the little cross displayed) but when you select on for deletion the ipad freezes for several minutes then reboots. It is a 64G iPad with 25G free space. I have many apps on it and they all work fine. Just Pages, Keynote, and Numbers that have stopped working. When you start them they go to a grey (pre start up) screen with no buttons. Then after a few minutes the ipad reboots.
Note I'm on 6.1.3 not 6.1.4 !!!!!!!!! -
Problems with email and SMS after 1.3.5
Let me first say that I love the Pre. Up until this point it has been perfect - I have a replacement, but that is because I dropped it (wrong angle, wrong location, broken screen). However, following the 1.3.5 update I'm now having a fairly important problem with email and sms - I can receive email and messages, but not send them.
I have two email accounts. My personal account is with earthlink. My work account goes through an ISP using the domain name of my employer. I'm not using Microsoft Exchange or Outlook. I have tried deleting and reentering the accounts and that did not work. I can receive messages but get error messages when I try to send.
The same for messaging. I don't use it very often. But yesterday I get a text message and tried to respond and got the error message.
I power the phone off every night because I have a landline and use that as the primary phone at home.
I have been looking around message boards trying to find a fix for this. Has anyone had this issue and resolved it?
Thank you.
Post relates to: Pre p100eww (Sprint)
Message Edited by starburst42 on 01-05-2010 07:06 AM
This question was solved.
View Solution.I forgot to add that this is a stock Pre. There are no patches or homebrew apps.
Edit:
I found a fix for the email problem, in posts on precentral and this board from a few months ago. The info came up in a Google search, and not searches of the boards, which is kind of frustrating. Here is the info, and the link. I really wish Palm would put info about this work around on their site, or at least make it easy for people to find. The solution is the last message in the thread linked below:
Had the same problem. Checked with Earthlink - no help. Checked with Sprint - no help. Checked with Palm - no help. Here is what finally worked:
Delete the earthlink account and start over. When you do - this is the key - set up the account manually! If you use the Pre defaults and try to change the settings it will not correct the problem. Your settings for outgoing mail must be:
"smtpauth.earthlink.net"
Use Authentication set to "on"
username is your email address
your email password
port set to "587"
encryption "none"
Again, the key is to set up manually.

Good day. I did an upload for my mac and now I have an Mac os X. I've read that with this system you provide applications: numbers and pages and others for free. I checked in Purchase for that and I dont see them.
Thank you.Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You only get Numbers, Pages and Keynote for free if you purchased a Mac after October 1st or if you have got iWork '09 installed. If not, you have to pay for these applications -
No more iCloud files in pages and numbers after iOS8 update
HI,
after updating to iOS8 on my iPhone 5, Numbers and Pages wasn't able to find any file on iCloud.
My iPad mini works perfectly. For both, I didn't activate iCloud Drive.
This his is what I tried :
- disable and renable iCloud sync for numbers and pages.
- uninstall and reinstall Numbers and Pages
- disconnect iCloud, try with an other account, and come back to the main one.
None one of these tries worked.
Any ideas ?
Thx.
DouddI have the same problem, no iCloud documents on my iPad mini after updating to iOS8. Calendar, notes and contacts are all there, and the documents are there on my iPhone 5. I have tried re-setting the network settings as suggested in another thread, and removing and reinstalling numbers and pages, switching off iCloud and switching it back on again, all to no avail.
I spoke to Apple support and they told me I had to do a complete restore of my iPad, but that means losing all my settings, apps, photos etc which is rather drastic if I'm not convinced it will work (and I'm not convinced!)
It seems a lot of people have this problem and it seems to be random if it is affecting some iPads or phones and not others. Really weird, I wish Apple would get it sorted, they have a habit of not liking to admit it's a problem. I suspect it is connected in some way to this iCloud drive, which I have not updated to, as it does not work with Mavericks and we don't yet have Yosemite (thanks again, Apple, if they are needed together why release iOS8 and not Yosemite?
Lesson learnt - don't update until Apple have released the first fixes!!
If anyone finds a solution, please let us know!! -
Problems with page and event paramters in java portlets
Hi there!
Following the documentation in "A primer on Portlet Parameters and events" and "Adding Parameters an Events to Portlets" I tried to develop two portlets (who will be at the same page), one showing some content of a repository (with possibilities to browse throw it) and another showing a sitemap of the repositories whole content, presenting links to the content's pages to be shown in the content portlet.
So I added:
1. a page parameter called pageMenuID to identify the current content page to be shown in the content portlet
2. an input parameter for content portlet called portletMenuID. This input parameter is mapped to the page parameter pageMenuID
3. an event for content portlet called changeContent with output parameter contentMenuID. When this event rises, "go to page" is set to the current page and the output parameter contentMenuID is mapped to the page parameter pageMenuID.
4. an event for sitemap portlet called changeContentFromSitemap with output parameter sitemapMenuID. When this event rises, "go to page" is set to the current page and the output parameter sitemapMenuID is mapped to the page parameter pageMenuID.
This is the code for some constants and a function to build the links in the content portlet, that I want to use:
// page parameter (shouldn't be used here)
private final static String pageParamMenuID = "pageMenuID";
// parameter names as given in providers.xml:
// portlet input parameter
private final static String inputParamMenuID = "portletMenuID";
// event name
private final static String eventName = EventUtils.eventName("changeContent");
// parameter name for event parameters
private final static String eventParamMenuID = EventUtils.eventParameter("contentMenuID");
String getEventUrl( PortletRenderRequest portletRequest, long menuID) {
NameValuePair[] eventParams = new NameValuePair[2];
eventParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventName,"");
eventParams[1] = new NameValuePair(eventParamMenuID, "" + menuID);
try {
return PortletRendererUtil.constructLink(portletRequest, portletRequest.getRenderContext().getEventURL(),
eventParams,
true,
true);
} catch (Exception e) {
return "null";
This is the analog code from the sitemap portlet:
// page parameter defined on "edit page mode" (shouldn't be used here)
private final static String pageParamMenuID = "pageMenuID";
// parameter names as given in providers.xml:
// event name
private final static String eventName = EventUtils.eventName("changeContentFromSitemap");
// parameter name for event parameters
private final static String eventParamMenuID = EventUtils.eventParameter("sitemapMenuID");
String getEventUrl( PortletRenderRequest portletRequest, long menuID) {
NameValuePair[] eventParams = new NameValuePair[2];
eventParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventName,"");
eventParams[1] = new NameValuePair(eventParamMenuID, "" + menuID);
try {
return PortletRendererUtil.constructLink(portletRequest, portletRequest.getRenderContext().getEventURL(),
eventParams,
true,
true);
} catch (Exception e) {
return "null";
But what actually happens is nothing. I also tried to construct the links with EventUtil.constructEventLink() with the same result. Checking the produced html-code in the browser shows that the same URLs are produced. So I'm of the opinion, that proper event links are created.
After checking the sent and received request parameters I came to the conclusion, that the event output parameters are never mapped to the page input paramters, as they should. So I changed the code to the following:
// page parameter (shouldn't be used here)
private final static String pageParamMenuID = "pageMenuID";
// parameter names as given in providers.xml:
// event name
private final static String eventName = EventUtils.eventName("changeContentFromSitemap");
// parameter name for event parameters
private final static String eventParamMenuID = EventUtils.eventParameter("sitemapMenuID");
String getEventUrl( PortletRenderRequest portletRequest, long menuID) {
NameValuePair[] eventParams = new NameValuePair[1];
eventParams[1] = new NameValuePair(pageParamMenuID, "" + menuID); <-- Note that the page parameter and not the event output parameter is used here -->
try {
return PortletRendererUtil.constructLink(portletRequest, portletRequest.getRenderContext().getEventURL(),
eventParams,
true,
true);
} catch (Exception e) {
return "null";
Now everything works fine, including addition of persistent private portlet parameters and further input/page/event parameters as well as working with a third portlet with performs a search (and presents the search results as links which change the content in content portlet).
But this is actually NOT the way it should work: The names of the page parameters are hard-coded in the portlets, so the roles of page designer and portlet developer are not separated in the way it is presented in the documentation. I coulnd't find a way to map the event output parameters to the page parameters to work this out.
Now I wonder whether there's some known bug in PDK or perhaps a mistake in the documentation or wether I'm just missing doing the right things. I've already read some postings in this forum concerning this problem (for example how to change the query??? but I think I've done all the things that are suggested there (checked the entries in provider.xml and the proper mapping of page parameters, public (input) portlet parameters and event output parameters, also the way I read the received request parameters and build the links)
Has anybody an idea what's wrong here?
Best regards
TorstenHi Amjad,
thank you very much for time and effort you spent on helping me solving this problem.
Unfortunately, I think I already tried what you suggest in your answer, but without success. From my experience, the following two calls:
1.
<%!
private static String eventName = "changeContent"
private static String eventParamID = "menuID"
String getEventUrl(PortalRenderRequest prr, long menuID) {
NameValuePair[] eventParams = new NameValuePair[1];
// no addition of eventName in the array
eventParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventParamID, "" + menuID);
return EventUtils.constructEventLink(prr, eventName, eventParams, true, true);
%>
<a href="<%= getEventUrl(portletRequest, 1234) %>">some link for ID 1234</a>
2.
<%!
private static String eventName = EventUtils.eventName("changeContent");
private static String eventParamID = EventUtils.eventParameter("menuID");
String getEventUrl(PortalRenderRequest prr, long menuID) {
NameValuePair[] eventParams = new NameValuePair[2];
eventParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventParamID, "" + menuID);
eventParams[0] = new NameValuePair(eventName,"");
return PortletRendererUtil.constructLink(prr, prr.getRenderContext().getEventURL(), eventParams, true, true);
%>
<a href="<%= getEventUrl(portletRequest, 1234) %>">some link for ID 1234</a>
produce identical links. I took the second way because it is easer to add private portlet parameters to the link: just as additional NameValuePairs in the eventParam- Array (name constructed with HttpPortletRendererUtil.portletParameter()), instead of constructing the link "by hand" as mentioned in the javadoc for constructEventLink(). I have to add these private portlet parameters here because when an event from a private parameters owning portlet is fired, the private parameters are lost (in difference to when an event from ANOTHER portlet is sent).
So I think, when you also look closely to the code snippet I added in the first posting, I made shure that I added the name of the event and not just the event parameters to the link.
I hope that I understood your answer right. Perhaps you have another idea what might be wrong. Thank you again,
best regards

Sync applications problem with 3GS and new computer
Hopefully someone can help me out. I am trying to sync my fiancee's 3GS to our new Dell laptop that has Windows 7. I had no problem syncing and updating my 3GS with the same computer last night, I updated to the 4.0 last night on my phone. I then tried to update her phone. It asked me to backup and sync all data prior to updating. I was able to back up and sync contacts and photos without a problem. I tried to transfer the applications; and now I keep receiving this message: "Some of the purchased items on iPhone could not be transferred to your iTunes library because you are not authorized for them on this computer." I certainly authorized the computer; thinking that might be the problem, I deauthorized and reauthorized the computer successfully (It says that I have one out of 5 possible computers authorized). That did not solve the issue. I researched into the topic; and now my brain hurts. One of the threads requested to disable the automatic sync when the iPhone is connected to the computer. I reset the settings, powered down the iPhone and exited out of iTunes; rebooted and still no success. I am getting frustrated but do not want to erase all of her applications and buy them again. This message is applying to both free and purchased applications. When I look at the applications page on iTunes; all of her program icons are apparent. I am not an iPhone genius, but I read that the new computer has never recognized the phone and the sync will go from computer to phone (if I understood correctly). Does that mean I need to reinstall iTunes and start from scratch with this computer; or is there a solution? Both of our phones were rarely synced with our old laptop; but I worry that syncing with that computer will only further complicate the situation. Without transferring the applications, I am hesitant to update the phone to 4.0 and the new carrier settings. Do I just let the computer try to transfer the applications it allows and then lose my apps and do the update? I don't want to do that unless that is my only choice. Please help me!
Not sure if this helps, but:-
I just got an IPhone4 - Gave My IPhone3 to husband.
