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 add new page in the middle of document

I am creating a manual and inserted page breaks at the end of each page as I created the document. Now I am trying to add a new page to the middle by inserting page breaks and even section breaks, but every time I try to add it in, it just goes to the bottom of the document and I am unable to move anything into the original 50 pages. Any tips here?
When I look at the thumbnail view of the document it has all 50 pages in one yellow box instead of one page individually. A bit odd.

The thumbnail browser shows one small page thumbnail for each page of your document. Each yellow bounding box indicates a section. So the thumbnail browser indicates your document has a single section with 50 pages in it.
As you've typed your document it has naturally flowed from one page to the next. If you place a page break at the end of the page you are simply mandating what Pages has already voluntarily done. But if you insert a second page break you should get a new blank page. In other words, if you put your cursor at the bottom of page 6 and insert a page break you will move to the top of page 7 which has text because it is still page 7. Insert another page break and page 7 becomes page 8 and you'll have a blank page 7.
Note: if you move your cursor into the middle of the document and insert a section break you'll see that the thumbnail browser shows two sections; one ending on the page above your cursor and one starting on the page your cursor is in. This is useful to understand.
Second Note: if you use the Insert>Sections option it always inserts a new section at the bottom of the section your cursor occupies. Since your document currently has one section, that's why you wind up with the inserted page at the end of your document.

Can you add new Page layouts within an Indesign Document like you can in QuarkXpress using tabs

I am slowly switching to Indesign from QuarkXpress but have encountered my first hurdle. I have grown up with QuarkXpress and want to change to Indesign. I work as a graphic designer and do large POS projects. These projects require many different size leaflets, posters etc but are all under one job/project. I currently use the tab system in QuarkXpress enabling multiple layouts in one file, I then can switch quickly to whatever layout i need to work on within that file. Is there a feature in Indesign which is similar to QuarkXpress as I find this a very valuable time saving feature. I am using Indesign CS 3.0.1

>What do you mean Sandee? Robert, Sandee's comment did come across as a bit strong, eh. InDesign is better than Quark for the most part. (Hey,even Quark has it's good points. <g>) But they are different and preconceptions of how to do certain things can hinder a user from using the program to it's best advantage. This goes both ways, but long time Quark users will almost certainly have developed some bad habits that should be broken if using InDesign. [check out theInDesigner.com podcasts. the first few are audio only but the first one in particular deals with this idea, and others reinforce it with specifics.] Your concern about Quark Project files does not fit into this catagory though. You will not find a comparable feature in ID. But I don't think you'll miss it as much as you think. I can't answer your questions about Bridge and Version Cue. I have no experience with them. [there are videocasts on Adobe TV that may give you an idea of how useful Bridge can be. Cafe Fibonacci Ep1, touches on it, Lazy Designer has a couple of episodes that show some not so obvious features.] Essentially Bridge is a common repository for all your files, and that can include your colleagues. But it's more than a way to catalogue and codify your files, you can access the rest of the suite from Bridge, you can even access specific functions of the other applications directly within Bridge. Version Cue manages projects. It keeps track of who did what to where and what version is current. It also allows you to submit different versions for consideration and revert specific items of your layout to previous versions or is that Bridge? Hopefully someone with a better grasp of Bridge and Version Cue will come to your rescue. But it's obvious that there is a lot of work group functionality built in to CS.

Pages downloaded, but I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac

For my Mac Pro, after I downloaded the new Mavericks OS, I downloaded the new pages. However, I still can't open iCloud pages from iPad. Says that I need a new version of Pages on my Mac.
Please help.

It appears that you are launching the old version, probably using an icon in your Dock. That icon is an alias & is not updated. You will need to go to your Applications folder & find the new Pages 5 icon & double-click it. Once it is launched, you can right-click on the icon & choose Options > keep in Dock from the contextual menu.

I can not open new tabe in the same page

i can not open new tabe im the same page
when i click on new tabe , it donsnt open at all

Uninstall the Ask toolbar and it should work again. There is a compatibility issue with the Ask toolbar and Firefox that prevents new tabs from being opened.
There are a couple of places to check for the Ask toolbar:
* Check the Windows Control panel for the Ask Toolbar - http://about.ask.com/apn/toolbar/docs/default/faq/en/ff/index.html#na4
* Also check your list of extensions, you may be able to uninstall it from there - https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Uninstalling+add-ons

Safari can't open the page on craigslist

can someone help solve my issue: i'm trying to post a sale on craigslist and when i continue to post, safari can't open the page on craigslist because server unexpectedly dropped the connection.
i've gone into preference and cleared the cache but for the thousandth time, i still get the try back later. its frustrating. and i'm new to mac.
help! help!

Safari can’t open the page “https://post.craigslist.org/sea/S/for/skc/x/PL7Yes3svlrxTGf6/qpeeb” because the server unexpectedly dropped the connection, which sometimes occurs when the server is busy. You might be able to open the page later.
thanks for responding. above is the message i get when posting. and its only with craigslist so far. i even added the /index at the end but it didn't work.

Won't open new page when I click bookmark, instead changes pages EVEN THO PREFERENCES SET TO OPEN NEW PAGES

Firefox keeps on changing pages, even yanking minimized pages back onto the screen and changing them, even though I have Firefox preferences set to always open new pages to accommodate links on a page or bookmarks.
I don't want Firefox to tamper with any pages, period. If I have a pages minimized, no way should Firefox be yanking that page up back onto the screen because it's "too lazy" to open up a new page to accommodate a bookmark or link clicked on.
It's extremely aggravating to click a link on a page, get a new page then, when I click the page to close it I find no page underneath, indicating that Firefox had changed the original page rather than open up a new page automatically to accommodate the link, etc.
What's the point of me in Firefox preferences setting it up for Firefox to open up new pages automatically when afterwards it doesn't?

Perhaps try the add-on Tab Mix Plus. It has a feature that you can force every link to open in a new tab if you like:
* http://tmp.garyr.net/help/#Links (description of options - see "Force to open in new tab")
* https://addons.mozilla.org/en-us/firefox/addon/tab-mix-plus/ (install page)
I don't know whether it has any effect on bookmarks. You can open those in a new window by holding Shift or in a new tab by holding Ctrl when clicking.

I can't open any pages document

My associate hasn't executed an apple update in some time. I typically do. For over a month, he can't open any Pages doucment I send him.
Last night, I did an apple Update for pages that Apple had been requesting I do for about a month. Now, I can't open any of my own pages documents in 4.3 or 5.0.1. Documents I created yesterady I can't open. I'm infuriated with Apple as every recommended update seems to trigger something else to not work as intended. I'm constactly playing IT guy trying to simply keep thinks working as they're supposed to. Can anyone help? Thanks

Since you have already updated to Pages 5.2 on your Mac, 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.

I can't open a pages document.

I can't open a pages document. It says I need a new version of pages. I searched for upgrades but can't find any. Am I being forced to re-buy the program in order to access my documents? I looked into upgrading operating system, but Mavericks says I can't - my machine is too old? Seriously? It is starting to look like upgrades are breaking what otherwise worked fine, then charging to upgrade to make it work?

Pages 5 requires Mavericks.
If you can't upgrade to Mavericks you will need to Export your Pages 5 file to Pages '09 or Word .doc/x format then open it with whatever Pages version you have (you didn't say).
You can open Pages 5 files inside Safari using iWork for iCloud beta and Send a Copy in Word format to yourself.

Firefox not opening new pages in new tabs

Just updated to FF 5.0 on OS 10.6.6. Got my pref set to open new pages/bookmarks in a new tab, but it just loads them into the current window.
I disabled all of my extensions (Download helper, web dev tools, Firebug, TinyURL generator, Yahoo mail notifier) and no dice.
Arg! What happened?
I appreciate any suggestions.

If you left-click a link then that link is always opened in a the current tab. 
You need to middle-click a link or use command+Left-click to open the link in a new tab. 
The setting in Firefox > Preferences > Tabs only makes it possible to divert links that specify a target window to open in a new tab instead.
You can look at these extensions:
*Open Bookmarks in New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-bookmarks-in-new-tab/
*Open Link in New Tab: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/open-link-in-new-tab/

Since buying Pages 5.2 can't open any Pages 09 files

Since purchasing and updating to Pages 5.2 I can't open any Pages 09 files. Tried various things, nothing working.

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:

Can't Open Some Pages

The following is a problem with LLBean website...can anybody help?
Once again...Have done everything according to Java and according to Apple. Tried to install Java 2 version 5.0 Release 1 and got the following error message:
Cannot install J2SE5.0 Release 1 package on this volume.
This volume contains a newer version of Java 1.5.
It doesn't make sense to me to see a message, "This volume contains a newer version of Java 1.5", when I'm trying to install Java 2!
Then I go to the Java Preferences Utility and made preferred version J2SE5.0, then J2SE1.4.2 next. Note that this utility says that I already have J2SE5.0 installed. Go figure!
Still having problems loading individual pages...reported bug to Apple on their automatic "Report Bug to Apple" facility on the Safari menu.
For instance...on your website when I go to "Men'sOuterwear Winter Outerwear Guide Jackets & Parkas" and click on an individual jacket I get the following message:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari can’t open the page “http://www.llbean.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CategoryDisplay?storeId=1&catalo gId=1&langId=-1&categoryId=44900&from=GM&noDept=&guideId=6586&moduleId=6600&feat =6600-dg”. The error was: “lost network connection” (NSURLErrorDomain:-1005) Please choose Report Bug to Apple from the Safari menu, note the error number, and describe what you did before you saw this message.
I tried to send the above to the Apple Website for Safari Help and got the following message:
Safari can’t open the page.
Safari could not open the page “http://feedback.apple.com/bin/nph-fb.pl” because the server stopped responding.

petriejb,
welcome to Discussions!
The LLBean site loads just fine for me. Besides, the "lost network connection" error and the inability to load Apple feedback page make me think the problem is not necessarily with Java or with one site.
Can you load other pages fine? Please post back.

Taking forever to open new pages, if at all

I've used Firefox for years, and it was always THE best browser. However, the last couple of versions have shared a problem, and it's driven me away from Firefox. First of all, regardless of settings, Firefox insists on opening the last page that was displayed, rather than the Google News page that I've told it open...the preference page *shows* the correct Google News page, but, Firefox continues to go back to whatever was last opened. This is annoying, but, not a game-breaker.
What is, however, is that Firefox has become incredibly slow in opening *any* page, if it opens the page at all. When I attempt to go to a web-page, it appears that it's trying to open that page, but, nothing happens. I get the "loading page", and the url shows up, but, that's it. Sometimes, after several minutes, the page will slowly load; most often, Firefox simply sits there, with no error messages, no "Firefox is not responding" or anything else. I have the latest version of Firefox, along with the latest versions of Internet Explorer, Chrome and Opera; all three of *those* browsers open new pages instantly and go to the proper homepage, by the way.
I have completely uninstalled Firefox several times, and deleted every trace of it I could find on my computer, to no avail. I would *love* coming back to Firefox, as I still consider it the best browser, but, with the way it's working, that's not an option.
I have tried every single suggested "fix" in Mozilla support pages, and none have done a bit of good. Any other suggestions?

On the slowness issue, could you try these two diagnostic steps:
(1) Run Firefox in its Safe Mode.
Firefox Safe Mode is a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
''If Firefox is not running:'' Hold down the Shift key while launching Firefox.
''If Firefox is running:'' Either --
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
* Help menu > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
-- then OK the action.
In both scenarios, a small dialog should appear. Click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Refresh).
Any difference?
(2) Disable the Flash plugin
Since Flash is used so pervasively on the web in the background or for menus, it can be difficult to disentangle Flash issues from other issues. So... here's one way.
Open the Add-ons page using either:
* Ctrl+Shift+a
* "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Plugins. Then on the right find "Shockwave Flash" and set the permission selector to "Never Activate".
Notice any difference?
