Can't open some documents in Pages on my macbook pro

I'm running 10.8.5, when trying to open some documents in pages, some of docs are greyed out and will not open. Many others are fine. These are docs that are on the mac, not icloud. Any suggestions on how to open these docs? I am running pages 09

I figured it out. Most of the documents that I could not open were PDF's, so when I went to Finder, they were all there and they were all available to open.

Hello,
If reseting the iphone still doesn't help you will want to double-click the home button and you'll see the display shift upward and a row of your app icons on the bottom, gently place your finger on one and hold until they dance, and a red ball with a white minus appear tap the minus until all of the apps are gone then press the home button once again this will clear all of your recently ran or running apps. Multitasking in iOS 4.xx the apps will NOT be deleted just stopped and cleared out of memory. This will correct the issue.

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.

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.

You need to open and resave those from Pages '09.

Can't open word documents in Pages since updating to Yosemite

Since updating my software to Yosemite I cannot open word documents in pages anymore. I can open these word documents in preview to at least look at them, but this is not very helpful.
Also, is anyone else experiencing a serious slow down. My Macbook is choking, and I wonder if there is anything that can be done to improve the speed.
Thanks in advance for any insight/ support you can offer!

Be sure you are saving your Word documents on the PC for a Word version supported by Office 2004 X. The latest version of Office for the PC uses a file format that is no longer compatible with older versions of Office.
PC attachments have icons that do not carry any information that Mac applications use to determine what application opens a document. Drag the document from the email application to the Desktop. Select the icon and press COMMAND-I to open the Get Info window. In the section labeled 'Open with' select Word from the drop down menu, then click on the Change All button. This should associate all similar documents to the Word application on the Mac. Word documents on the Mac also use the '.doc' extension. If the transferred file does not have the '.doc' extension then it doesn't hurt to add one.

Can I open existing documents in Pages on iPad

I emailed a word document to myself from a windows computer. When I open it on my Mac Pro and iPad some of the alignments are distorted. I tried opening it in the Documents app on my iPad and it still looks distorted. Is this simply because I'm trying to open a word document on this non-word computer/iPad? Is there a way to open this document, whether in an app or not, so that the word document looks like it does on the windows computer? And if I open it in Pages or Documents app, can I edit it to fix the issues?

Yes you can open it in Pages. You can format it Pages as well. You can also save the document as a Word doc, PDF, Pages or an ePub file.
I take it that you don't have Pages and are trying to make a decision on whether to plunk down the money for it or for another WP app.
There are 6 preinstalled resume templates in the iOS pages app as well. I know that you have already gone to all of the work of setting up the resume in Word, but worst case scenario, you could always choose one of those.
I am not trying to paint a picture of gloom here for you. There will always be some formatting issues going from a Word file to. Pages or any of the other WP iPad apps, but Pages should work just fine for your word processing needs. There are other apps that are supposedly even more compatible with Word files. Take a look here for more ideas.

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 word document in pages

Word document attached to email loading ca. 70% in Pages then pages closes down and can't get to open. Ideas?

Open the email with the attached Word document again. Then tap on the attached document. A menu will appear. Tap on the option that says "Open in Pages. If this doesn't work, try shutting off your iPad and then wait a minute or two and then turn it back on. Try to open the Word document again. Although I'm just speculating becuase, I have never had a problem opening a Word document in Pages and every time I open a Microsoft Word document in Pages, it just needs to change the font to a Pages- compatible font. I hope my solution works, and I'm sorry if it doesn't work.
