Can't open documents or images in iCloud Drive

In an effort to stop using a competing cloud service and keep everything in iCloud Drive, I moved all my folders from OneNote to iCloud Drive in Finder. In iCloud Drive online there is no problem...every folder is there along with all the files and everything is fine.
That said, when I try to access any of the files, images, or documents on my iPhone or iPad, they're mostly all greyed out. I go to any iWork app, click on the "+" icon at the top left, then select "iCloud". This brings up my iCloud Drive UI and all the folders are there...but they're all greyed out. If I try to tap or scroll in that UI it closes and kicks me back to the home folder of whatever iWork app I was using (Pages or Numbers).
If I can't access documents, text files, PDFs, and images in iCloud Drive on my iOS, what good is it? I might as well go back to Microsoft OneDrive and their supporting Office apps which actually work great in iOS with the most recent updates. I'm just trying to stay within the Apple ecosystem and it's difficult to do. Thanks for any suggestions.

Welcome to the Apple forums
Looking back through some notes I made, Pages '05 doesn't work well in Snow Leopard. Even '06 has some limitations when opening Word files.
I suggest getting a newer version. I think it is likely we will see updated versions of the iWork apps when the Mac App Store goes live. I suggest you download the iWork '09 trial which you can use for 30 days. In the meantime you can find legal copies of iWork '08 or '09 at greatly reduced prices through Amazon.com or on eBay.

Can't open document in Numbers from iCloud

I can not open a numbers document from Icloud. When I try to open the document, which is listed with other documents I get a message saying I must have the newest version of numbers. I have already updated to Mavericks and the upgraded Numbers. What can I do to access my document?

Finally found the problem. I was opening the old version and found the newer version on launchpad.

How can I open files in folders on iCloud Drive on my iOS8 device?

Have created folders and moved parts of my documents and pdf files to iCloud Drive on my MAC (Yosemite).
I can see the folders on my iOS device in Manage my iCloud, I can delete the folders and documents but HOW can I open the documents?
On Apples homepage I can see a simliar layout as when I log in to iCloud.com with my folders etc. plus the Apple Pages folders.
But where on my iPad / iPhone do I navigate to find the same?
Tried to login to iCloud.com on Safari on my iPad but it did not show my folders/files on iCloud Drive.

So what is the point of upgrading to iCloud Drive when there is no "Drive" on your iOs 8 device? I also added a new folder through Safari on desktop- as instructed by Apple- and I have no way of accessing it on the iPhone! This seems pretty bogus and a huge waste of time!
And... If Apple was developing an app for the "Drive" why have us upgrade to something you have no way of using?
And... I did try opening files through apps that allow it but I do not see anything.
And... Pages docs do NOT show in the "Drive" on Safari.
WHY?

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.

Document Creation error - "We're sorry. We can't open document name because we found a problem with its contents"

Morning Friends,
I have created a SharePoint 2010 "Site Workflow" that is designed to take information from a form and create a Word doc with the gathered information and store this Word doc in a document library.
I am using Sharepoint 2013 with Office 2013
I understand there are a lot of steps (19) outlined below and I can provide more information as needed but the bottom line is this, workflow successfully takes info from an initiation form, uses the info to create a Word doc. Places this Word doc in a library.
When attempting to open / edit doc, receive error
"We're sorry. We can't open <document name> because we found a problem with its contents"
Details - No error detail available.
Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Very high level view of what I have done:
1 - Created content type called "Letters"
2 - Added site columns " First Name" and "Last Name"
3 - Created and saved to my desktop a very basic Word document (Letter.docx) that says "Hello, my name is XXXX XXXX"
4 - In the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I uploaded this "Letter.docx" file as the new document template.
5 - Created a new document library called "Letters"
6 - In Library Settings - Advanced Settings, clicked "Yes" to enable the management of content types.
7 - Then I clicked "Add from existing content types" and added the "Letters" content type
8 - Back in the advanced settings of the "Letters" content type I selected "Edit Template" and replaced the first XXXX with the Quick Part "First Name" and the second XXXX with the Quick part "Last Name"
9 - Created a new 2010 Site workflow called "Create a Letter"
10 - To the workflow I added the action "Create List Item"
11 - Configured the action to create Content Type ID "Letters" in the document library "Letter"
12 - For the "Path and Name" I gave it a basic name of "Letter to"
13 - The next step was to create the Initiation Form Parameters and added to form entries "First Name" and "Last Name"
14 - I then linked the initiation form fields to the data source "Workflow Variables and Parameters" to their respective Field from Source parameters
15 - Went back to the "Path and Name" and modified the basic name of "Letter to" to include the first and last name parameters.
16 - Saved - published and ran the work flow.
17 - As expected, Initiation Form prompts for First and Last Name. ("John Doe") Then click "start
18 - Go to document library "Letters" and see a new Word document created titles "Letter to John Doe"
19 - Go to open / edit the Word document and receive the following error
thoughts? Any info or advice would be greatly appreciated.

See this MS support article for SP2010 workflows and generating Word docs:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2889634/en-us?wa=wsignin1.0
"This behavior is by design. The Create
List Item action in the SharePoint
2010 Workflow platform can't convert Word content type file templates to the correct .docx format."
I've had success in using SP 2013, Word 2013 (saving a .docx as the template instead of .dotx for the document library content type), and an SP 2010 workflow using SP Designer 2013.

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...

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 can not open documents using adobe reader because I have to accept "end user agreement". How do I get to agreement?

thx but the only thing that happens when I open Adobe Reader is that a small icon appears in the bottom-line. There is no dialogue box where I can accept!

Can't open 'Documents' in Finder

I cannot open the 'documents' files in finder for last couple of days . Every time I am clicking on "documents" in the 'finder' sidebar, finder crashes and stops working and I need to relaunch it.
Therefore I have to use 'all my files' tab which is time consuming.
My Device Information: Macbook Air 11 inch (mid 2013), OS X Yosemite (Version 10.10)

Assuming you can, click on your home directory (it is the one with the 'house' icon so you can see all the folders in your home directory - including Documents. Can you open Documents from there?
If so: drag the Documents icon from the sidebar until you see a little cloud icon and release it. That deleted Documents from the sidebar. Now drag the Documents folder from your drive space into the sidebar to create a new alias of it. Test and see that it works.
If not: your drive directory is damaged. Restart while holding the command & R keys to enter Recovery mode. Select Disk Utility and your hard drive icon. Select Repair Disk.

It says I can drag Pages documents from iMac to iCloud. But nothing shows up. Using latest with all turned on. How do I get Pages up to iCloud? The little wheel like action menu does not appear.

I have an old Kodak Photo CD (1999) and Photoshop Elements 11 on Windows 7. How can I open the .pcd images?
Please help me open these photos. They are very important to me and I need to access them.
If I can't do it with any of the software installed on my computer, would someone be willing to open them, save them as jpgs and send them to me?
Thank you so much, Nancy

You can get the plugin here by downloading the Extra Content for Photoshop CS3 File 2
Just be sure to follow Note:Very Important Instructions or the link won't work.
http://prodesigntools.com/download-adobe-cs4-and-cs3-free-trials-here.html
After downloading the PHSPCS3_Cont_WWE.exe, double click on it to extract the contents, probably to your desktop.
Then in the Goodies folder, Optional Plugins folder, you'll see the Kodak PhotoCD folder
Open that and copy the Photo CD.8BI to C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 11\Plug-Ins
Copy the profiles to C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe\Color\Profiles

I can't open RAW (cr2) images from my Canon EOS 650D

Hey,
I use Photoshop CS5 Extended (Version 12.1 x64). I can open the raw-Images (cr2) from my Canon EOS 1000d/Rebel XT but I can not open the RAW-Images (cr2) from my Canon EOS 650D (Rebel T4i). I have installed the latest update for CS5 through the updaate command.
How can I open them?
Thank you!

Hi there,
Support for RAW from Rebel T4i was launched in ACR 7.2 (Adobe Camera Raw). However, ACR 7.x is compatible only from CS6, not on CS5.
Sorry, but you can work with the installation disc you've got from Canon to convert the files into TIFF/ JPG or get the 7.2 DNG converter from here:
Win - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5486
Mac - http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=5485
Why don't you consider upgrading to CS6? There are some great upgrade prices in store right now.

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)
