Can't open document in pages.

I can't open one of my documents in pages on my iPad. I've reinstalled pages, rebooted the iPad and simply turned it off and on but nothing is solves my problem. Any ideas? Really need this document!

If you use iCloud, download the document from iCloud.com and try to open the document on your computer. If you can open it, save it under a different name and send it back to iCloud by dragging the document into the browser window. Launch. Pages on the iPad and see if the renamed document will open OK. If it does, delete the old document.

  • MacBook Pro OSX 10.9.4 - can't open document in pages - message says need updated version and there aren't any

    MacBook Pro - OSX 10.9.4 - trying to open document in pages.  Message says can't open with this version - go to app store for update, but there aren't any updates.

    Hope apple can fix this soon if new patch 10.9.4 cause this.
    Apple cannot fix problems they did not create. Eset and Avast are capable of doing nothing beneficial and can only cause problems. Uninstall it and determine if the problems subside.
    Use Avast's uninstaller, which will remove it completely. Eset requires using the uninstaller included with its downloaded installation program (see screenshot):
    Eset will also require manual techniques to uninstall components its uninstaller leaves behind, a common characteristic of poorly written software.
    I am now can access an internet, with zero security.
    It's a common misconception that you have "zero security" without junk such as Eset or Avast. OS X already includes robust protections against viruses and malware. Use your Mac the way it was intended to be used - without burdening it with useless garbage.

  • Can't open documents in pages

    Hi. I have an ipad 2 and purchased "pages" to use on it. Something seems to have gone wrong with it. I had to delete it and when I reinstall I get all the folder I had created. I can open the folders but I can not open the documents inside the folder. The document seem grey and they have a bar running across he bottom of the document. I can see all the documents in the cloud store but can't get them onto th ipad. Can anyone tell me what I've done wrong. Thanks. DMJ

    Does that error message say any more than "The document xxx can't be opened"? Do any Pages documents open or is it all of your previously created Pages documents? Have you tried opening a .txt (text) or RTF document with Pages?
    With most programs, suddenly not functioning as it should is often a problem of corrupt preferences. Have you tried opening these Pages documents in another user account? If that works, the problem almost certainly is corrupt preferences in your user account. Go to HD > Users > [your account] > Library > Preferences & delete the com.apple.iWork.Pages.plist, empty the Trash & then restart Pages.

  • Can't open document is pages

    I cant seem to open any documnets in pages or create new documents.  I dont understand why it used to work fine.  When I open a documnet pages jumps in the bar and then nothing happens.  The toolbars open but that is it.
    Tom

    Sounds like some of those may be Pages '08 files.
    You need to open and resave those from Pages '09.

  • 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...

  • 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.

  • 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)

  • Cannot open documents in "PAGES" app since updating software. can anyone help???????

    cannot open documents in "PAGES" app since upgrading from original ipad 3 software to 7.1.2. can anyone offer suggestions please?

    Generally, you are more likely to get an answer if you post in the iWork for iOS forum at

  • My word perfect documents have been changed to .doc but I can't open them in pages. ugh!

    my word perfect documents have been changed to .doc but I can't open them in pages. ugh!
    they are wpd files from around 2001-2003 that my Dad emailed me and on a PC was easy to simply relabel as .doc but despite this I cannot open in pages or convert to pages.
    Please can you help me?
    cheers!
    DT

    In fairness to Pages, only apps that can handle Word Perfect docs of that vintage can open them, either.  W
    As Viking said, changing the extension does nothing to the file structure & metadata of the document.  At one time Mac people didn't bother with the extensions, because they were simply a visible indicator of the app that made them, and the Mac would get that information from the file itself.
    Since you changed the extensions, some Windows apps may still use those extensions to tell them the file source. When they try to open a .wpd file as if it were a .doc file, they will get very confused.
    You can try to open the files by using the Menu> Open command, with the setting of "all files."  IF and only if the app can handle .wpd files, then maybe it will open it & ignore the extension.

  • Sorry! Something went wrong - I can't open my icloud pages file anymore

    I can't open my icloud pages file anymore. We are two collaborators working on it and she told me the file was freezing. I have said she can reload the file but it didn't work. Then it was my turn. I have tried from desktop but also from Ipad. The Pages app now crash when I want to open this same file. When I load my icloud page, I see the file, it is here, with the last layout, but can't open. I need to recover that document, it's important to me. Is there any assistance @apple to do so?
    Many thanks!

    I have exactly the same issue !! On "Pages", "Numbers", "Keynote"

  • 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.

  • I'm can't open documents in iword, and the program also won't shut down properly.

    I have been having trouble with pages for a couple of weeks now.  When I try to shut it down, it won't close.  I've tried force quit, but that doesn't work either.  Then, I can't shut down my computer properly either.  Finally, which seems related to me, I suddenly can't open documents that I've typed into word.  Any suggestions?

    Did you try a Force Quit?
    Press command + option + esc keys together at the same time.
    Wait. Force Quit window will appear.
    Select Mail and click the Force Quit button
    Wait. Mail will quit.
