Can't open pages from iCloud

Pages 5.2 OSX 10.9.2.
It's the 2 time I have this problem. Trying to open a pages document from iCloud. Message; can't open file "filename.pages". If i download pages can open the document. If i load it on iCloud it can't be opened. Some pollution in the cloud?I can open all documents in iCloud pages.

Well I sort of solved the problem all by myself. Just restarted my Mac // Roland

  • Can't open files from iCloud Drive on Mac

    Hi,
    Can't open file from iCloud Drive on my MacBook Air (OS X 10.10.1).
    I created new file (in Numbers for example). Then Numbers->File->Open->iCloud Drive->my_file.numbers and it says "Can't open file my_file.numbers".
    I can preview the file by pressing Space, but openning from application and double-click on it doesn't work.
    Files that were created earlear also not opened.
    Does anybody know how to solve this problem? thanks.

    Using smtp.mail.me.com - also tried smtp.me.com
    SSL yes
    port 587
    SMTP Authentification Yes
    Security SLS/TLS - also tried STARTTLS
    User full **@me.com email address - also tried user name without @me.com
    I have spoken to apple support this afternoon and we tried the variations shown above.
    Support told me to wait for a day and try again!
    After the iCloud authentication problem last night I changed all my passwords I wonder if there is an SMTP problem at me.com perhaps not reading the updated passwords?
    I'll try and use the old passwords later.

  • I downloaded Maverick and now I can't open pages from the Dock.  The Pages icon just jumps up and down abut doesn't open.  However, I can one pages by clicking on the App. I have an iMac with iWork 08.

    Since upgrading to Maverick from Mountain Lion I am unable to open Pages from the Dock.  When I click on the pages icon in the dock the icon just keeps bouncing up and down.  However, I can open pages by clicking on the icon in the Apps folder.  No problems prior to upgrading to Maverick.

    Quit Pages. Drag its icon out of the Dock. Create a new one by dragging the application into the Dock. Test.

  • 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.

  • Can't download Pages from iCloud

    I have started uploading Pages documents to my iCloud.com account. This worked fine until I wanted to download one. The Download option is greyed out on all Pages documents. Following some suggestions, I have enabled iCloud Data & Documents, but I can't download these from the iCloud browser.
    Some have suggested opening these up in the Pages app on my iPad first. I don't see how to open these from within the iPad Pages app. I can see all of the Pages docs stored in iWork.com Beta. Also my iDisk or WebDav. No iCloud. What part of the future of document storage am I missing?

    OK, here's a screenshot from my iPad.
    The documents on the screen are shared from iCloud, when I tap the + button I don't get an option to create an iCloud document either, it just creates a document like all the others on the page which then syncs to all other devices.
    I guess what you are saying is that the documents you upload from the mac to iCloud aren't on the iPad desktop like mine.

    I don't think there is a way to specify how to open a file of
    NO type.
    Why not rename them?

  • Why can't I open pages in icloud from desktop?

    All of my devices are updated to the latest version of icloud.  I only have one version of Pages on my desktop and I can't open any doc that is on the icloud. I can go so from my idevices and the browser version but not from my mac.  I only get a message that the document can't be opened. No reason given in dialog. box.
    I can move from icloud to desktop and open but when I move it back it can't be opened.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Pages 2 on the iPad uses Pages 5 file format, but even that can vary as Pages 5 and Pages 5.01 on the Mac can't open Pages 5.1 files.
    Yes you are right, the whole thing is one ginormous mess, thanks be to Apple.
    Far from getting painless round transfer between iOS, OSX and PCs we are getting in practice very limited compatibility even between Macs and iOS devices and reports of files that abruptly refuse to open anywhere and can not be rescued because they are in an overly complicated file format.
    Go to the iTunes Store and the App Store and rate/review the latest Pages.

  • I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing".

    I can't open pages files from USB and iCloud due to : "The necessary file index.xml is missing". Original file is written on iMac (2014) and saved to an USB stick and then transferred till macBook Pro (2009, Yosemite) for editing. Then I shared the files by iCloud but I am not able to open them on iMac again. Niether can I use the USB stick to transfer the edited files back. I'm running Pages '09 4,1 (923) on the macBook and Pges 5.5.2 (2120) on the iMac.
    Håkan

    Pages 5.5.2 is extremely incompatible with even other Macs let alone the vast majority of PC and MsWord users out there, so not a good idea to leap into the fire with both eyes shut.
    After having done that to the first Pages 5 files, Apple has repeatedly done it to even the most minor point updates. Apple can't even anticipate its own erratic changes let alone what everyone else needs doing.

  • 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

  • I can't open pages docs on my mac from my iPhone?

    it says i need a newer version but it won't let me download it from the app store and i can't for some reason just go buy a copy either. I'm willing to pay money but apple doesn't want it.

    For those who question why I "unnecessarily" need to repeat the following endlessly, when Apple employees repeatedly don't get it right:
    You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
    Pages 5.2.2 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 5.2.2 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 over 110 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Both units have current updated systems and apps. Using same apple ID.  Calendar and contacts work fine between both machines.

    Do you have any secondary accounts set up in mail, contacts and calendars.

  • How can I import contacts from iCloud to CONTACTS in snow leopard? !

    After upgrade software on iPhone (with iCloud) contacts on MAC (Snow Leopard) are no mre sync with iPhone....
    As some time hase passed by and I did not notice it immediatly, now I have all updated contacts on iCloud and no moe on Mac;  how can I import contacts from iCloud to Mac contacts in snow leopard?
    Thanks for help !!!!
    Marco
    PS sorrry, previous question was a mistake

    At http://icloud.com go to the Contacts page. Select all your contacts, click the cogwheel icon at bottom left and select 'Export vCard'.
    Now open Address Book on your Mac. From the File menu choose 'Import' and select your exported file. Of course if it contains entries which are also on the Mac you will get duplicates.
