Can an unsaved pages document be retrieved after a screen freeze?

When your working on a unsaved file, it's contents are in RAM or temporary memory, if the power goes off then the contents of this RAM is lost.
When you save the file, it's written to pernament storage (hard drive) and can be retrieved, only losing the difference between the last saved state.
Some programs have a temp save ability that will notify you that it has a file "recovered" and if you wish to resume using that copy. It saved the file for you to the hard drive without your permission or knowledge which can or cannot be a lifesaver.
There are third party utilties that can invoke "Save" periodically on most all programs that don't have this recovery feature, if it's a new file, obviously a Save As will occur and you have to give it a name, but it's good for people who don't remember to save their files periodically.

I just had my old operating system reinstalled, and i can't save pages documents, don't know how to install word

i just had my old operating system reinstalled after a breakdown, and now i can't save pages documents. i don't know how to install word.

What was your old system?
What is your new System?
What version of Pages?
How did you install it?
I don't know if you can see what's on my screen, but I definitely can't see what's on yours.
To Install Word, buy it and follow the instructions.

HT1373 How can I find Pages documents I've created on my iPad on my Mac?

How can I find Pages documents that I've created on my iPad on my Mac? I have iCloud set up. Thanks.

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
If you have turned on iCloud on the iPad and on the Mac, you can see your documents created on the iPad if you are using Pages '09 and OS X Mountain Lion. Open Pages and the iCloud window will appear with the documents.
If you don't have Mountain Lion and/or Pages '09, you can access to them on http://www.icloud.com, choosing iWork

What does this mean? "Unsaved Pages Document.pages" couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access "Autosave Information".

“Unsaved Pages Document.pages” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “Autosave Information”.
I am not able to "duplicate" my Page or Keynote document. I am getting a dialog window that says "“Unsaved Pages Document.pages” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “Autosave Information”.
I noticed that I have three different log in accounts on my computer, much to my surprise. Could that be causing this problem?

That's unlikely. You would have had to save a document into another user's account and be trying to work on it - directly from their account.
"“Unsaved Pages Document.pages” couldn’t be moved because you don’t have permission to access “Autosave Information”.
Have you checked the permissions on your Autosave Information folder? Here are mine.

I can open some pages documents, but others I cannot.

I can open some pages documents and others I cannot. This just started. I have a mac os x 10.9.4. It says I don't have any updates available. I have no idea why this is happening. Please advise. Thanks!

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2.2 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 over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:
http://www.freeforum101.com/iworktipsntrick/viewforum.php?f=22&sid=3527487677f0c 6fa05b6297cd00f8eb9&mforum=iworktipsntrick
You can add the icon of the missing Pages on your Dock or open Pages from the Apple menu > Recent Items list.
Or you can archive Pages 5 so that it doesn't automatically open.
If you are unhappy about this mess that Apple has created, review/rate Pages 5 in the App Store.

Restore unsaved page document

Would anyone know how to restore an unsaved page document? Accidently clicked X button on the left hand side since I figured I was typing things with trial version of it (although had purchased version). Thanks in advance!

Hi Fruhulda
There is no longer an X in the button when we run under Lion.
But at this time, I'm like you, I don't know which system is used by the Original Poster.
Pre-Lion systems don't deliver an AutoSave feature.
Lion deliver one but we must to save at least once to get it working.
Mountain Lion enhance the feature. AutoSave apply automatically even if we don't save once.
Of course the name and the location would be default ones.

I can't get pages documents to open on Microsoft word?

I can't get pages documents to open on Microsoft word when I have drafted a pages doc on my mac and then send it to a PC to open and print through microsoft work - is there a way around this?

You can't open it directly. You need to either export it from within Pages, or rename the saved file so its extension is zip, decompress it, and get what you can from the contents.

Where can I find unsaved Pages documents? (default storage iCloud -- Former "mobile documents" folder)

Hey all, i have a serious situation here. I have written a a term paper in pages last friday and must have have soemhow forgotten to save it. Now i just wanted to proof read some sections and I had to find out that this document doesnt exist. Not on my mac, not in iCloud. To cut to the chase - After hours of reserach I have found out that unsaved iwork documents have been saved to ~/Library/Mobile Documents prior to MAC OS 10.7.3.
I actually have found rather complicated manuals on how to get this mobile documents folder up and running but I guess it will only start saving stuff in there by now...?
So before I spend another 2 hours trying to get the mobile documents folder back into my librarby I rather start writing my paper all over
Maybe someone of you has experienced a similar problem and can help me out here... I seriously could cry !! So dont want to write everything again...
Please help me!! Thanks a lot!
Cheers Tobi

Hi
I'm having same issu over here.
Her is my setup
iMac 27" 2014 running Mavericks latest version.
iPad Mini running iOS 8.0.0
MacBook Air 2013 running latest version of Yosemite Public Beta
iPhone 4 running OS 7.1.2
Everything was working like a charm using iCloud Drive and all my Keynote, Pages and Numbers files stored on iCloud.
I could sync with the iMac due to the fact that I'm still on Mavericks, but that didn't bother me. And I don't use Keynote, Pages or Numbers
on my iPhone 4.
I just got an iPhone 6 Gold 64 Go and this is where it all went wrong.
After installation and update to 8.0.2 and setup of my new iPhone, I launched
keynote to see if I could access the presentations I had been working on.
And oh! Horror!!! A popup saying presenting have been deleted from another device....
So I hop back over to my iPad Mini where I had been working on an important presentation... Gone!!
All my presentations... Gone! More that 30 of them... Vanished.
But no problems with Pages or Numbers.... Weird....
Please Please Please help Apple.... I need these files and was solely relying on icloud for backing up my work. That was probably a bad bad move.
Thanks for helping. I see I'm not alone....

Can't open pages documents after time machine restore.

Hi, I had to do a restore of my document folder from time machine and now I can't open any pages documents. It just says not a valid format. It is only the pages documents that are affected. Not word documents. If I try to convert to plain text (or any format) in word i just get a blank page.
Help in this matter would be greatly appreciated!

How to retrieve pages documents from iCloud after the reset settings glitch deleted all of my files.

Before all this news that resetting your device wpull delete all your pages documents, I discovered it first hand and lost many of my files for school! I need to recover my files and I cant go to an apple store as of right now. Would someone please contact me!??

Apple is unlikely to read your post here as this is a user to user support forum. You can contact Apple support here: Contact Apple for support and service.
If you happen to have a Mac that is signed into your iCloud account that you back up using Time Machine I can tell you how to restore them from your Time Machine backup.

Suddenly can not open pages document

So, I'm faced with a sudden problem. I cant open any pages documents. When I try, there is no error message, the document just does not open. The application itself opens fine, I just can't open any files. When I tried to send the document through gmail, it said that it was zero bytes, so it could not be attached. I am running pages 5.5.2, and osx yosemite. I updated my software within the last two weeks. I don't know when the document was last editied exactly, but I know it was after the updates were made. When I first started trying to open this document, Pages told me there was an update, and I ignored it, thinking that I would do it later. However, I tried to go to the App store to see the update just now, and there was none to be found.

i think if you edit a pages doc on the cloud it wont let you open it with desktop pages - best idea open on the cloud -then copy text, paste to desktop pages. Its all part of Apples 'problem with computer? - buy a new one' policy i guess, its to force you to upgrade the Os...

How can I merge documents with layout written with pages? How can I copy pages-document with layout and paste it into another pages document?

Hi
I am working with pages for a book and have made already a layout whre photos and graphs etc. are partly outside of the area for the text, their posotion is not fixed the the text.
And now I nedd support: When I add text or a photo to the layout the text moves and the unfixed photos etc. keep there position. This means I have to update each photo or graph to shift it to the new position ore I have to place photos etc. within the frame of the text, which is not the kind of layout I am going for.
I hope for two reliefs, which I do not know how to realize it.
1. If I specify each chapter as a new partition starting with own page (then I hoped) the new section would shift together into a new page and the positions of photos etc. and text would stay fix. But unfortunately this seeems not to be the case. Question: is this possibe orno? If yes, how to do it?
I could divede the whole txt chapter by chapter into individual documents, which are seperatly created and worked. At the end I would have to merge all this document into one. Is it possibe to merge different pages-document into one document?
Who can help me?
Thanks Hartmut

Images and other object can either be floating or be inline. Yours are floating and will not move with the text. Inline object will move with the text but can't be outside the text layer. It doesn't help if you have created section in the document. Floating images doesn't care. Nor will it help if you create several documents that you want to merge later. Doesn't make any difference.
My suggestion is that until your text is finished you have the images inline. Then as a last editing you can start make the images floating and move them a little.

Can't open Pages Documents

I've upgraded all my iWork documents and now I can't open things in Pages. I'm stuck on an endless loop of "You need to be using the most updated version .... which you can get in the app store.... blah blah blah" I'm suing the most up-to-date versioin. I'm using Pages 4.3 and the document I'm trying to open was created using the most updated version. HELP.
Thanks
Carrie

You have both versions of Pages on your Mac and are simply opening the wrong document in the wrong version.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
Pages ;'09 can not open Pages 5 documents and Pages 5 will alter/damage older Pages '09 files and not open any other.
Pages 5 is very much a downgrade missing over 90+ features.
Best to go back to using Pages '09:

Can't access Pages documents

Hi guys;
I can't seem to access my Pages documents in iCloud.
They aren't on iCloud Drive (I know to stay away from that for now)
When I go to icloud.com I click on the Pages icon and it tells me to upgrade to Yosemite.
(I could probably drive to Yosemite and back before I get the upgrade, still waiting)
Is there nothing I can do to get at those docs until Yosemite releases?
Drew

It seems that for the time being it can't be done. You could start using Dropbox until Yosemite is released. (You can save your iWork documents to Dropbox from your iOS devices if you have the Dropbox app installed by opening the document, tapping the share icon, choosing Open in Another App, tapping the iWok format, then tapping Open in Dropbox, then tapping Save. You can later open it in the Dropbox app, tap the share icon, tap Open in, then choose your iWork app.)
