Can't open document in iCloud (Pages crashes on iPhone)

I have been working on documents in Pages on my iPhone 5, saving to iCloud and then opening the document on my Macbook Pro 15" Retina.
The documents can't be opened on two devices at the same time. That will result in one of them, and sometimes both, being deleted. Not good.
To avoid that problem I've been working on my iPhone 5 only. Is there a way to save to iCloud without closing the document in Pages for the Sync?
I've closed the document, it has apparently synced with iCloud, but cannot be opened on either MacBook or iPhone.
This is a really disappointing flaw. Hopefully you can help me with a solution or a work-around.

Tried to go to the source and the document can't be download on iCloud either.
I made a copy of the problem document and am not able to open that one either.
Hours of work lost. This is not good. Apple Support, please help us.

Can't open documents in iCloud

I am suddenly unable to open any iWork documents stored in iCloud on My Mac. (This is true for Pages, Numbers, and Keynote) Every time I try, I get an error message saying "The file "filename" could not be opened."
Pages (and Numbers and Keynote) are up-to-date on both my Mac and on my iPad. I can access the documents from my iPad, and I can download them from iCloud.com and then work on them on my Mac, but I cannot open the iCloud copies directily.
I've made sure that I'm working with the new versions of iWork apps, not the '09 version that are still on my Mac.
This seems to have started with the latest round of updates to the iWork apps, but I could be wrong about the timing.
Any ideas about how to solve this?

Pages 5.01 will not open Pages 5.1 files and people are reporting that Pages 5.1 will on occassion not open its own files.
Currently nobody has a clue what to do about it except: Don't touch Pages with a bargepole!
Use your previous iWork apps.

Can't open documents created in Pages with macBook pro running maverick

Hello,
I just bought the new MacBook Pro and downloaded iWork. Now when I create a document in Pages and save it to Documents, I can't open it. I get an error messages saying a file is missing. Also, all my old documents created with Pages that I transfered from my old MacBook won't open. It says file too old, need to save to Pages 09.
Tried opening the old documents in Pages 08 and saving them, but still can't open them.
Any suggestions?

Further to my earlier post about this problem, our IT man came in to the office, by coincidence, so I grabbed him and it seems that he has cracked it.
You need to proceed as follows :
Select the document by single click on the icon (i.e. select it but don't double click which will try to open it.)
Go to File Menu and chose "Get Info"
Half way down the drop down menu, chose "Open with" then select Pages 4.0 (i.e. the iWorks 9 version)
This process will open that particular iWorks 8 document.
But, if you also tick the "Change All" box it means that opening with the new version of Pages will become the default and will apply to all iWork 8 documents so you should not need to bother with this ever again.
So far, that seems to work.
(One might have thought it would have been a good idea for Apple to have built this in as a default ?)

Can't open documents created in Pages '08

I upgraded to the new version last week. Tonight I tried to open a document I created in Pages '08' and received the following message:
Unable to open “Finance Board 8 December 2008 Minutes” because it isn't a valid Pages document.
Any ideas?

Can't open documents from icloud

I have Iworks 09 and have it installed on 3 macbooks. on the 2 macbook pro's it works fine but on the macbook air i can't seem to use versions or open/safe documents to the cloud. I checked the cloud setting and everything is as it should be.

I went to icloud, but the Pages doc will not open
Won't open on what device? You cannot open a document directly from iCloud on a Mac running Lion or earlier. You will have to go to iCloud.com in a web browswer & download the file to the Mac and then open it.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud. When I go to the mac app store it says pages 5.0 is installed, but Pages says it's running 4.3. I just want to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad.

Pages tells me I need to upgrade to 5.0 to open documents from iCloud, but the mac app store says its already installed and won't let me upgrade. when I check the version of pages I am running it says 4.3. I just want to be able to open documents on my mac that were created on my iPad. How can i get Pages 5.0?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
You already have got Pages 5.0, but you still have got Pages 4.3, so Pages 4.3 is being opened instead of the newest version, being this the reason why you get a message telling you to update Pages to the most recent version.
If you don't need the old version, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and delete the old Pages icon or move it to an external drive. I don't recommend you to do this, as users are complaining about the lack of features of the new version.
Instead, what you can do is to put the new Pages icon in the Dock by dragging it from the Finder window to the Dock, so you can open the new Pages version from the Dock and you can open all your documents with it after opening the application

Pages: Can't open document on iPad

Dear,
Yesterday i started a big document on my iPad using pages.
After finishing it i could send PDF to an email address.
Today i try to edit something but i cant use the document anymore. i dont see an icon of my text but an icon of pages and when i try to use it i get an error messages like: "Can't open document". iPad, iPhone and iCloud cant reach the document anymore.
Any idea how to get my document back?????
TIA !

It seems to be hit or miss if this works or not, but try opening Pages on the iPad, then before you select a document, on the very first screen, hit the "Edit" button, then select your document. Then click the arrow coming out of the box in the upper left corner & email the document to yourself. Try opening the email on a computer, selecting the file and adding the pages file type (.pages) to the end of the name. Then try reopening it in Pages.
I don't know if this is what happened in your case, but it seems like sometimes iWork documents lose that file type indicator & then Pages (numbers/ Keynote) won't open them.

Can't open documents "you will need a newer version of pages..get upgrade at app store" App store says I have the current version.

Can't open documents some as recent as yesterday. "you will need a newer version of Pages...you can upgrade from the app store" The app store indicates i have the current version, upgrade not appropriate. A relatively new problem.

You have two versions of Pages on your Mac & are trying to open Pages 5 documents with Pages 4. Are you launching Pages from an icon in your Dock? Installing the update does not change the Dock icons & it does not remove the older versions. Go to your Applications folder & launch the new Pages from there then right-click on the Dock icon & select Options > Keep in Dock.
Installing new versions of iWork has never replaced existing versions. This is nothing new. The only thing new is that the '09 apps are moved to an iWork '09 folder if they were purchased from the Mac App Store. If they were installed from disk they should already be in a separate folder in Applications.

Since I updated my pages to 5.01, I can't open documents created on my iPad today. It says you need a new version of pages to open document. (My computer says it is installed). Has any one encountered this?

Well, here's what I found out that works for me...
I had a Pages icon on my dock, and launching it brought up version 4.3. But I went to my Apps folder and found the new updated icon there and when I launced that it brought up version 5.01. So apparently the Apple update process left two versions launchable on my iMac. Weird...

IWorks has disappeared. How can I open documents saved as Word 97 from Pages stored on Dropbox?

iWorks has disappeared. How can I open document saved as Word 97 through Pages stored on Dropbox?

Thanks but I don't think this will help. Like I said, all of my add-ons were working fine and compatible until after running a previous version of FF. I am sure they are still compatible, but they are not working at all.
I even checked my profile folder and all of the extensions' data is all still there but FF5 is just not reading it correctly. (like adblock plus... I see the folder for it but FF5 doesn't have it on the add-on manager page when I run FF5)

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5.2 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 almost 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Hi,
if you want to redirect the root of portal system (http://portal/) to the login page, edit the
file and change the body tag as follow:
\usr\sap\J2E\JC00\j2ee\cluster\server0\apps\sap.com\com.sap.engine.docs.examples\servlet_jsp\_default\root\index.html
<body onload="location.replace('irj/portal' + document.location.search)"></body>

Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, why?

Can`t open document on Illustrator but adobe reader and photoshop opens it, it is a problem with the text font Futura T-Bold. How to open it on Illustrator?

I downloaded the file, and:
It is not a Photoshop PDF.
I get the same result attempting to open in Illustrator; mangled font substitution. That's because I don't have one or more of the exact fonts used in the document installed on my computer, and I suspect the same is true of yours.
The fact that it opens without issue in Reader and Photoshop is essentally meaningless, (or at least it's not an inidication that it also should open without issue in Illustrator, which is what your original post seems to imply). Reader displays the correct fonts because subsets of them are embedded in the PDF for use by Reader. Photohop just rasterises the whole page, so there is no font data needed.
If you had the fonts, you wouldn't get the substitution in Illustrator. It works that way for any PDF.
