Can no longer open Pages documents in LibreOffice
I used to be able to open documents created and saved as 'Word' documents in Pages with LibreOffice Writer.
This is no longer possible.
I can still open other documents created with Microsoft office and saved with the .doc extension in LibreOffice Writer.
Is Pages now saving the documents in a non stanard 'Word' format?
I have the latest version on the Word App on my iPad and I am using LibreOffice Writer Version 3.6.2.2 (Build ID: 360m1(Build:2))
iPAD, iOS 4
Without the iPad connected, open up iTunes on your computer. Go to iTunes/Preferences/Devices and delete the backups that you're absolutely certain do not have the documents. Refer to figure below.
iTunes, select the iPad and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "NO" to creating a backup. (You don't want to create a new backup that does not have the docs.) You will then be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad. This time, say "yes."
Repeat all of the above as required until you get the docs.

I recently accepted an automatic update(January, 2014) for Pages on my MacBook Pro. I can no longer open Pages or documents created with the prior version. Any suggestions as to how to correct this problem?
Open Activity Monitor. Select All Processes instead of My Processes at the top and then reorder everything by highest CPU usage. Take a screenshot and post the image here.

How do I undo an update to pages 2.1 on an iPad 2? I can no longer open a document previously saved, even when I try to open it in the iCloud and on my Mac.
With IOS Pages v2.0 and v2.1, Apple introduced a new document format that is incompatible with prior Pages versions on IOS or OS X Pages ’09. Opening older documents with these recent versions of Pages will permanently prevent the document from opening in earlier versions of Pages on IOS or OS X.
Nice of Apple to warn people.
There is no undo of an iTunes application update, short of forcing iTunes to restore IOS v6 back on that iPad 2. Even if you did that, you won't find the IOS Pages v1.7.2 in the iTunes store now.
IOS Pages v2+ will allow you to export content in Word .docx format. You do this by first tapping the box with an up-arrow in it (next to the left-most +). A menu will slide up — choose Send a Copy. Select a document icon. Pick Mail, and then Word. Your Pages v2.1 document will now be converted to Word .docx, and attached to an email body. Fill in the to address and send. -
i have just downloaded the latest update for Pages on my iPad and now it can no longer open up documents in iCloud and then just shuts down. What The.
Before the reset quit Pages like this:
Double click the Home button to show the screen with running and recently used apps. Each app icon will have a sample page above it. Flick up on the page (not the app icon) and the page will fly away and the app icon will disappear. This quits that app. -
I can no longer open excel documents in my doc to go app. Error message simple reads can not open attachment. And the attachment is now a winmail.dat
winmail.dat files usually mean the email has been sent in rich text format - you could either the person who sent it to send it in a different format e.g. plain text or HTML, or there are a few apps in the store that support it (search for winmail.date in the store).

I can no longer open pages and I cant open any documents saved as pages. What can I do?
Suddenly, I can no longer open my pages documents and I keep getting an error message, stating that the document could be corrupted. I can also no longer open pages itself. I am a bit of a technophobe and have no idea what to do. I have tried restarting and that has done nothing? Help!!
My recommendation would be to check for updates (Apple menu > Software Update). If there are no updates for Pages, you should try uninstalling then reinstalling Pages.

Why can't I open Pages documents transferred from iPad?
I am unable to open Pages 09 documents transferred via iTunes and USB cable to my iMac (OS 10.6.8), error indicates "index.xml" missing. Where does that come from?
Pages 2 on the iPad uses Pages 5 file format, but even that can vary as Pages 5 and Pages 5.01 on the Mac can't open Pages 5.1 files.
Yes you are right, the whole thing is one ginormous mess, thanks be to Apple.
Far from getting painless round transfer between iOS, OSX and PCs we are getting in practice very limited compatibility even between Macs and iOS devices and reports of files that abruptly refuse to open anywhere and can not be rescued because they are in an overly complicated file format.
Go to the iTunes Store and the App Store and rate/review the latest Pages.

Since Mavericks I can no longer open Pages or Numbers documents
Please help, I cannot open recently worked on files in Numbers or Pages and I cannot view PDFs in Preview. I have tried using both the old versions and the new apps.
I shut down the computer and turned it off, then turned it on again, and presto! I can access my old files again. Might be worth a try.

I can no longer email pages document from my ipad since last update. they sit in outbox
I am no longer able to email documents created using "Pages" from my ipad. All emails sent within pages go to my out box and sit there with a big yellow exclamation mark next to them. This has only recently started happenning, since the last time I updated "Pages". Has anyone else had similar problem?

Why can't I open html documents in Pages 3.0 but could in v2.0.2?
We used Pages v2.0.2 to open html exam documents to reformat the exams before sending to the printer. We recently upgraded to Pages 3.0 via iWorks '08, and we can no longer open html documents. Does anyone know if this is just an oversight in Pages 3.0 and will be fixed in future updates or has Apple intentionally abandoned html support in Pages?
We need to find a workable solution. We prepare exams for 1000s of students each semester.
Thanks in advance.
Best Regards,
RickPages 3.0 (that is iWork '08) doesn't have an HTML entry in the CFBundleDocumentTypes of it's Info.plist file. Pages 1.x and 2.x both DO have an HTML entry in their Info.plist files. Thus Pages 3 won't open HTML while Pages 1 and 2 both will.
So the questions are:
Why did Apple remove HTML as a file type for Pages v3.0? Was it a mistake? Was it intentional? Will it come back in a quick update to Pages?
And then again for you Allan Eckert:
How are you able to open HTML documents in Pages v3.0? By rights, any ".html" file shouldn't be openable in Pages v3. -

Pages will no longer let me open files that I have previously downloaded, worked on and then saved on my mac. However it will let me open pages documents that I have started from new. I need the other documents to open and can't figure it out. PLEASE
I just got my mac a month ago so go easy on me but I was just working with the pages that was already on it, and then today I know it updated, and now I am unable to open a lot of my documents!:( Idk what you mean by the icloud version lol sorry! As for the version, when I open pages from my apps and click 'about' it says version 5.1? And when I open the document it just goes grey and kind of blinks and doesnt open? No error message or any indication of why it will not open now when I for sure have opened it in the past! Andddd for the OS X I think it is 10.9.1 ??

I have the original ipad (OS 5.1.1) using pages 1.7.2 and backing up to icloud. If I open up one of the docs from icloud, I can no longer open it on my ipad. Looks like the pages version gets updated to a version that is incompatible with my ipad. Is there anyway stopping icloud from changing the version and is there a way to recover the old version of the document on my ipad?
Upgrade to Snow Leopard - it's compatible with the latest version of iTunes, and still supports PowerPC applications.
$19.99 - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
Snow Leopard is required if you wanted to upgrade to Lion, anyway, which you may want to in the future if the latest version of iTunes no longer supports Snow Leopard.
