Can't download Pages documents to Mac

When I try to download a Pages document from iCloud it tries to save as a .exe binary file and can't be opened. Same thing happens if I try to download it in Word format, but it works as a PDF. Any ideas? iCloud is unusable for me at the moment

i am having the same problem - i can only get the document to download in a .pdf format, which is useless as far as being able to work on a document from different devices! i cannot find an answer via searches on google or on these support pages - let me know if you find something out.

  • Have downloaded pages to I MAC can I down load it to another mAC FOR FREE?

    Can you download pages to another Mac without paying for it

    Sign in to your App Store account. 
    Click on "Purchases" at the top of the sign in window. 
    You will be shown a list of your previous purchases with an option to click the "install" button next to previous purchases that are not installed on the compute you are currently using.
    Let me know if this helps.

    Another way. You can use a USB flash drive & the camera connection kit.
    Plug the USB flash drive into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

    To delete the pics from your MBP, just drag to Trash and empty Trash.

  • 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

  • Can I download Pages for free onto my late 2012 macbook pro

    Can I download Pages for free onto my late 2012 Macbook Pro with retina display and 8 gb of memory.  The machine is running Yosemite Versus 10.10.1. 

    Pages is free for those that have purchased a new Mac. If you have never owned Pages before, then it is a purchase product for you. I suggest you look at the product reviews in the App Store, before you rush to purchase it. It is not a Word clone either.

    From the Creative Cloud FAQ:
    To take advantage of all the great features in the new Creative Cloud desktop apps, customers should upgrade to a newer version of Mac OS X. Some of the new CC apps do not support v10.6 and will not install. Minimum system requirements for each Creative Cloud app can be found on the tech specs page on Adobe.com.

  • Pages will not open a downloaded .pages document from iCloud because index.xml file not found?

    New to using iCloud.  I created a large pages document on Mac Air and saved it to my iCloud account.  Found it at home on desktop Mac and downloaded it.  No problem.  However, it will not open due to the index.xml file not being found.  What should I do to open this document?  I've tried several things and no luck yet.  Thanks for any tips!  :-)

    Options posted here: The required index.xml file is missing.

    Try this. It worked for me:
    1. Single click on the document. This will "highlight" the document icon, but not invoke the error message.
    2. Click on "File" in the menu.
    3. Scroll down to "Open With".
    4. One of my choices in the "Open With" selection is Pages (default) (5.0.1)
    5. Click on that choice and the document should open.
    In my "Open WIth" selection there is also a Pages (4.0.4), but that didn't work for me.
    Now, here is a caveat. If before you open your document you instead first click on an open Internet window, then the "Open With" selection disappears from the File menu. In that case just single click again on the document icon again and the "Open With" selection returns.

    Try this:
      1. Make a duplicate of the file (cmd D), just to be safe
      2. Select .pages on the copy and change to .zip
      3. When the System asks if you really want to do this, click Use .zip
      4. Double click the new .zip file
      5. It will now appear as a folder with no extension
      6. Append .pages to the end of the folder name
      7. Again click on Use .pages
      8. Double click on this file to open it in Pages.
    What you have done is extracted all the Pages resources from the .pages "package" and reconstructed it.

  • 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.

  • I have bought a luminex camera but cannot download my pics onto my mac as I don't have windows. Can I download windows on my mac.

    I have bought a luminex camera but cannot download my pics onto my mac as I don't have windows. Can I download windows on my mac.

    (1) You should not need to use Windows on your Mac unless you want to do so.
    I'm unsure what a "luminex camera" is, but you can probably use your Mac's iPhoto app with it.
    Launching iPhoto and search iPhoto > Help for "import" (without the quote marks.)
    If you're still having trouble, this article may give you some ideas:
    iPhoto '11: Import photos or video from a digital camera
    (2) You can only "download Windows"  if you have bought it from a download source.
    Once you have an usable (downloaded or disk-based) Windows installation, Apple's
    Windows on a Mac Support page explains using Windows on your Mac via Boot Camp.
    VMWare, Virtual Box, or Parallels Windows are other alternatives.  This article may be of interest:

  • 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.

  • 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.

    Because the developer needs to create and maintain the two versions separately and has chosen to charge for the Mac OS X version.

    If you're using a fifth generation iPod touch and an Intel Mac, buy Mac OS X 10.6 from the online Apple Store and run Software Update.
