Can't open new document or save a document in CS2

I can open InDesign CS2. When I try to open a document the entire window grays out. To activite ID again I must hit Esc. If I go to my explorer and click on an ID file it will open, once open I can work in it but after working when I try to "save," "save as," or "save a copy" the entire window grays out and nothing is saved. I can hit Exc and I am able to work in the document again but still can't save it. If I try to exit out of a new doc it will give the message asking if I want to save but when I say yes it grays out.
I am working on a Windows XP, CS2 4.0.5, 1.5Gb RAM

This is a common problem discussed here. It's caused by the open or save dialog opening off-screen, and is most often associated with using multiple monitors.
I suspect doing a search for "multiple monitor" or "freeze" will probably turn up a number of threads that have all of the suggested ways to try to bring the dialog into view.

Can't open NEW Pages 5, Keynote 6 or Numbers 3 documents

Some time after updating to the newest version of Pages, Numbers and Keynote my Mac stopped being able to open new, blank documents or templates in these apps. The apps all just hang. I have to force quit them. Existing documents open. I just can't start new documents. I threw all 3 apps in the trash and emptied, then re-installed from the App Store; same thing. I re-installed iWork '09 and everything works as expected. I then updated the iWork '09 apps from the App Store to the current versions. Back to the problem. On a separate but possibly related topic, Preview will not open any files. It hangs similarly and must be force quit. Fixed disk permissions in Disk Utility. No change. What could possibly be preventing the apps from opening new documents?

No replies. Am I the only one with this problem? Tried again. Started a new document in Keynote on my Mac with just 5 slides, saved it to iCloud Drive. The document opens fine on my iPhone and iPad but when I try to open it on the Mac, I get the message that it cannot be opened. Indeed, I cannot open any of my Keynote documents that are stored in iCloud Drive. I am using the latest Keynote and Yosemite on my Retina MBP.

Can't open a document I was writing yesterday-alert says I need a newer version of pages, but I only updated it in August

Can't open a document I was writing yesterday- alert says it needs a new version of pages, but I only updated it in August 2014. Help please!

You have two versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages v5.2.2 in /Applications
Pages ’09 v4 in /Applications/iWork ’09
When you open a Pages ’09 document in the default Pages v5.2.2, it is converted to the latter exclusive, new document format, and is not directly backwards compatible with Pages ’09. You would have to use Export To > Pages ’09 in Pages v5.2.2.
If Pages ’09 is running, with/without an open window — double-clicking a Pages v5.2.2 formatted document, or attempting to open said document with the Pages ’09 document chooser, will generate the dialog you saw. It really means you cannot open this newer document format with your older version of Pages. There is nothing to download, because the cause of this dialog is simply having Pages v5.2.2 installed.
You can open actual Pages ’09 documents:
Right-click, Open with > Pages (4.3)
Via Pages ’09 document chooser
Drag/drop Pages ’09 document on the Pages ’09 Dock icon
Pages ’09 File > Open…
Pages ’09 File > Open Recent >

I upgraded to Mavericks. I just spent an hour in Pages. Now I can't open my documents, it says I need to upgrade to a newer version. It looks like the new 5.0 when I typed but it's saying I'm running 4.3. the App store says I've already upgraded. Hel

Actually, there seems to be a bit of a bug. Encountered this with a couple of files my wife made. The files were set to "open with" the new Keynote, but clicking the file brought up this error. Right-clicking and selecting "open with..." worked correctly. I can only assume the OS was attempting to open the file with Keynote '09 despite the file property setting.
Probably requires a Launch Services DB reset (although I haven't actually tried it on my wife's MBA yet...since she's still "working on stuff". So I can't confirm if it will solve the problem).

Down loaded new version of Pages. Now can't open a document and get message I need a newer version of Pages to open. How can I get it to open

I download the new Update for Pages (5.2.2)on September 8th. Now I can't open a document I created in 2012. I get message "You need a newer version of Pages to open this document" What can I do to get this doc to open

First, open Finder, go to Applications folder and delete iWork '06. Then, open Pages and it will use the most recent version

I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done last year. I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages. I am running version 4.3

I downloaded the recent Pages update but now I can not open some documents done in the past year. I get an error saying that I need to download a newer version of Pages. I am running version 4.3. Do I have to purchase an update of Pages?

You are not on Mountain Lion anymore, right? You are on Mavericks and have downloaded Pages 5 and then created docuemnts in it which can't be opened in Pages 09.
No, you don't have to buy a newer Pages but you have to be particular about which version you use.

Thank you

I't not iWeb that got damaged but the domain file. The index.xml file is inside the domain.sites file that's located in your Users/Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder. Do you have a backup of that file you can revert to? If so then do it. Otherwise a long shot but try the following:
close iWeb.
delete the iWeb preference file, com.apple.iWeb.plist, that resides in your Home/Library/Preferences folder.
go to your Home/Library/Caches/com.apple.iWeb folder and delete its contents.
launch iWeb and try again.
If that doesn't help continue with:
move the domain file from your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the Desktop.
launch iWeb, create a new test site, save the new domain file and close iWeb.
go to the your Home/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder and delete the new domain file.
move your original domain file from the Desktop to the iWeb folder.
launch iWeb and try again.

I can't open my document on Page 09 (too old !), so what ?

I can't open my documents on Page 09 (too old !), so what ?
I just buy a new imac and grrrrr

Pages 5 can not open Pages '08 files, you must first open and resave them in Pages '09.
Pages 5 may actually damage files opened from previous versions, proceed with caution and don'r save until you have checked them.
Read the reviews of Pages 5, it is not an upgrade as such, much more a downgrade.

My Open 'New Document' function is not working properly on Illustrator CS5

When I open a 'New Document' a message pops up saying 'Print.ai' is not working, I wanted to open a custom 'New Document Profile' not print. The custom option is grayed out and I cannot select it. What do I do?

If you can create a new document by any means, then set up the document the way you want the preset to be, and save the file here:
~/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Adobe Illustrator CS5/en_US/New Document Profiles
You might need to delete/replace the faulty Print.ai file.

Hi Waqas
Thanks for your help with this. I had a look at both posts, the URL works fine from the WAC server and I am not using a System account to test docs.
Also, this is a production site that is accessible over the Internet, so we are using https therefore the WOPIZone is external-https.
Issue #3 in the above blog link does not reflect the same error I see on my servers.
I also had a look at the information in this link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff431687.aspx#oauth
Problem: You receive a "Sorry, there was a problem and we can't open this document" error when you try to view an Office document in Office Web Apps.
If you added domains to the Allow List by using the
New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet, make sure you’re accessing Office Web Apps from a host domain that’s in the Allow List. To view the host domains in the Allow List, on the Office Web Apps Server open the Windows PowerShell prompt as an administrator and run
the Get-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet. To add a domain to the Allow List, use the
New-OfficeWebAppsHost cmdlet.
I have not added any domains to the Allow list so this did not help either. Should I add the domain?
Any further help with this is much appreciated.

I have been working on a document in Pages 4.3 and now it tells me I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. When I look up Pages 5.2 the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button.

My OS is 10.9.3.I've been working on a document in Pages 4.3. Now is says I can not open the document unless I upgrade to Pages 5.2. The Pages 5.2 page in the App store says "installed" nor can I find a "purchase" or "install" button. How do I get Pages 5.2?

If you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, you may be trying to open the file with a previous version of Pages. If this is the case, 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.

Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1

Can't open a document I created an hour before with Pages 5.0.1; get message saying my Pages is too old, for me to download 5.0.1

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 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 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud 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.
Note: Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Can't open Office documents from share on Windows 8

We have a problem with a customer that they can't open Office documents(Word,Excel etc.) on Windows 8.1 image on a network share. The error message is just that the document can't open.
The documents are on a sharepoint site and we can open the documents within the site and also we can open the Office documents on a Windows 7 image from the networkshares.
Also can't open the documents if i copy them to the local desktop.
I think there is a group policy for Windows 8 for this but I don't know for sure?
Anybody?

Hi,
As I understand, the issue is that customers can’t open office documents on windows 8.1 on a network share or copying them to the local desktop.
Per my test, I can open documents on windows 8.1 on a network share.
1. By default, Word doesn't trust files in temp directories from your browser. You can add the
network address and local address to the trusted list. From Word 2010/2013: Click File > Word Options > Trust Center->trust center setting->add new location.
2. You can create a shortcut on the desktop using the network address and then open the documents by that way.
3. To narrow down the research scope that you can create a new document library->Download a problematic file (an Excel workbook or a word document) to your local->Upload the local file to the new document library->do the same option to check if
the same situation will occur.
There is a similar case:

Hi Sara Fan,
Thanks for your reply.
I have added the profile to the trusted locations but without success. Also a shortcut is not working. I still can't open any Office document on that location(Error message: location ***.xxxx can't be opened). The problem occurs on every client.
1. Opening Office documents under local administrator account, domain admin account is working fine
2. Re-image the machine is not a solution
4. All locations use the same Windows 8.1 image through SCCM
3. When the user logon to another location(site) it's working fine and they can open Office documents so it seems site-specific
4. The problem is specific from 2 sharepoint shares. We can open office documents from other shares.
5. Can't open Office documents from the library on the sharepoint site(browser), but on another location it's working fine.
Problem only occurs on Windows 8.1 image with domain users. Other locations of this company do not have the problem. Note, every location have their own OU for users/clients.
Any other suggestions?

XL Reports - EXCEL msg -You can only open the document as Read Only

READ ONLY notification from MS EXCEL when two people try to run the same XLR report at the same time. Here is what is going on:
u2022 Person A runs an XLR report (SAP client running on a Local Machine)
u2022 Person B runs the same XLR report and now gets a MS message to the fact that u201CYou can only open the document as Read Onlyu201D
Can two people run and save the same report at the same time? If so, what do we need to do to allow this?

Can two people run and save the same report at the same time ?
The answer is NO. It is because Excel locked the file. Only one active user can do write operation on the file. All other users may open the file read only.
Thanks,
Gordon
