Cannot open iwork documents from within the iwork program

I am running OSX Mountain Lion on an imac 3.06 GHz core duo. Everything is uptodate. I have documents from Numbers, Pages and Keynote stored on icloud. I can see them when I go to icloud.com. When I try to open them from within any of the iwork programs, all I can see is greyed out document icons.

Hello
It seems that Pages is coded to save an imported file (which is the case for a .doc one) in the folder from which it was imported.
When the folder belongs to a CD, this can't be done and Pages refuses to import the doc.
I's not a bug, it's a feature.
Delberate or not is an other question.
If this feature is annoying from your point of you, described the problem to the official channel because here we are users trying to help other users.
We are not members of the Pages team.
So, *go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Pages" menu* and describe what you wish.

  • I cannot ping any VIP from within the ACE or from rservers

    I cannot ping any VIP from within the ACE or from rservers.  Is this expected?  I have rservers in other serverfarms that need to be able to communicate with the VIP of other serverfarms.  Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks for you reply.  here is the config.  I removed other rserver and serverfarm config that does not have to do with this issue.

  • Unable to open CS3 Files from within the application

    Good Afternoon
    I work as IT Support for company looking after 10 ADOBE Creative Suite 3 end-users.
    One of my colleagues is unable to open Illustrator or Photoshop files from within their respective applications, but she is able to open them from outside ok.
    I have reinstalled ADOBE CS3 and this appeared to resolve the issue, only for it to return again a day later.
    She has no other applications or processes running during her attempt to open a file from within CS3.
    She will click on Open and the 'Open File' window will flash up for a split second, then the whole application will be frozen. It is as if the 'Open File' window is there, but isnt there because we cant click on it, but the application thinks it is displaying and so she can not click on anything else. The only way to close the application is to end the process under Task Manager.
    While I am sitting here tearing what little amount of hair I have on my head, can anyone point me in the right direction?
    Is this a Windows problem or an ADOBE problem do you think?
    I look forward to any replies.
    Thank you

    Hi Bob
    Ok...
    Opened illustrator but was unable to open the 'Open File' window.
    Changed the screen resolution, it suddenly worked!
    Changed the screen resolution back to as it was before, it also worked.
    What could cause this do you think?
    By simply changing the screen resolution and back again, the 'Open File' window displayed itself.
    Very bizarre!

  • Triggering a background job of class 'A' from within the ABAP program

    Dear All,
    We are implementing SAP ECC 6.0 on IBM System i, i5/OS V5R4,  SAP kernel 7.00, kernel patch level 173.
    Is there a way to control that when a background job is triggered from within an ABAP program using the : CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN' statement, the background job is of class A ?
    I know that through transaction SM37, the job class for a background job can be changed manually, but the situation is an outsource company did for us some changes in the native SAP ABAP programs related to some SAP native transactions, and those programs trigger at their end some background jobs, each job running with the name of user running the transaction.

    Dear Darren,
    Thank you very much for your cooperation and for your prompt reply.
    Could you please explain to me how to find out the template background job that was first used, or in other words, how things were set up in the first place, i.e. when first the ABAP program was written and executed, there had to be at least one background job created through transaction SM36 ?
    Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

  • Cannot open pdf docs from within Eudora.  Registry problem?

    My email client is Eudora, which has worked well for many years, but it recently lost the ability to open pdf email attachments in Adobe Reader from within it.
    I have tried the  standard file association solution and that has not helped.
    I am posting to see if anyone thinks my problem is caused by registry settings, and if so, if you can give me a lead on which settings to change and what to change them to.  Here are details.
    I am currently using Eudora 5.2.  Adobe Reader 9.4 is my default pdf viewing software and OS is Vista Home Premium SP2.
    I was recently given a nuance product, pdf converter pro 7, which set itself as my default pdf viewer.
    I have succeeded in restoring Adobe Reader as my default pdf viewer (e.g., in Windows Explorer and Internet Explorer), but now, when I try to click on a pdf attachment in Eudora, the file doesn't open and the following pops up in an error box:
    "This file  does not have a program associated with it for performing this action.  Create an association in the Set Associations control panel."
    I have gone to the associations control panel and set Adobe Reader as my default program for opening pdf files.  However that has had no effect on the problem in Eudora.
    The attachments to emails in Eudora have the little Adobe pdf icon next to the file name and have a .pdf extension, but all I get when I click on them is the error message.  If I right-click on the attachment's file name, I get a context menu, but if I click on "open with..." and then select to always open with Adobe Reader, the pdf attachment does not open and nothing changes.
    If I try to use the context menu to do a "save as," to save the attached pdf somewhere on my hard drive, everything looks fine, except the pdf is not saved to the other folder.
    Other files attached to my emails open fine from Eudora, as always (e.g., Word documents), just as pdf documents used to do for many years.
    I can go to Eudora's attachments folder in Windows Explorer and open the attached pdfs from there, and they open in Adobe Reader and work fine.  However, that takes time to hunt them down in the hundreds of attachment files, which I would rather avoid.
    I tried reinstalling Eudora.  The problem persists.
    I assume nuance's pdf converter pro 7 hijacked an Adobe Reader registry setting, or maybe a Eudora registry setting, but I have not been able to find it and would not know what to do if I did.
    Any suggestions for a fix will be appreciated.

    No, I can't, sorry.

  • Cannot open another PDF from within a PDF RDR 9.1

    Hi, all. When I or one of our users tries to open a PDF from a "Table of Contents" PDF , i.e.

  • Cannot open Word documents from CD

    Pages will not open read-only files from CD. While it is possible to copy the files from CD to the hard drive and open them from there, this work-around is not optimal. I use several resource CDs that contain Word files as well as other file types.
    Instead of copying files from a CD in order to be able to open them, it makes much more sense to allow Pages to open them directly from the CD in read-only mode.
    Is there a secret way to enable this behavior? If not, Apple, will you add this functionality to Pages?

    Hello
    It seems that Pages is coded to save an imported file (which is the case for a .doc one) in the folder from which it was imported.
    When the folder belongs to a CD, this can't be done and Pages refuses to import the doc.

  • Cannot source /etc/profile from within the PKGBUILD anymore

    Hi,
    Short story: the command
    source /etc/profile
    within the build() section of my PKGBUILD now returns a build() error. It used to work before, is there a reason for this? Should it be executed in another section than build()? (Note source /etc/profile works properly in console, within the build directory)
    Long story:
    I need to use $JAVA_HOME in my PKGBUILD (to patch a lua source file with the current JDK path, which can be detected with $JAVA_HOME. Patching is done with a sed command). However, if java-environment is installed for the first time (as a makedepends) along with my package, then I need to source /etc/profile first to set the $JAVA_HOME environment variable, before being able to use it within my build() section. Otherwise it is not set yet and building fails.
    Many thanks for your help.

    Hi,
    Many thanks for the advice. I was unclear though: I maintain the aacskeys package in AUR, not the lua package. However, the file I am patching in aacskeys is named premake.lua, used for the project file generator premake.sourceforge.net.
    I'll try your first suggestion, since this is the only one which may work without touching the system. Another alternative would be to directly source the /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh file. EDIT: nope, because there could be openjdk6.sh instead. I really need to be able to source the correct file. The maintainer of opencascade uses:
    if [ -z $JAVA_HOME ]; then
    [ -e /etc/profile.d/openjdk6.sh ] && source /etc/profile.d/openjdk6.sh
    [ -e /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh ] && source /etc/profile.d/jdk.sh
    fi
    which is efficacious but less generic.
    Besides, is it normal that we get this error code, since the Arch documentation only recommends to set LANG in /etc/locale.conf? SHould I report it as a bug or request a design change for /etc/profile.d/locale.sh there (as suggested in your (b) entry)? I am asking this because my PKGBUILD is not the only one to use this trick, and this problem breaks them all.
    Thanks.

  • I cannot open a document from an earlier version of pages.

    Hope someone has a helpful solution for me.  I am trying to access my resume that I did in an earlier version of Pages.  I tried to open it today and saw an error saying that the document could not be opened.  I have tried researching this and basically have no solution.  I need my resume and don't know what to do. Has anyone else figured out a solution other than blowing up their computer?
    Sharon

    Copy/paste from TextEdit works. The use of Pages v5 has created more problems than user solutions. Make certain you export to Word format as a backup. Pages v5.5.1 will make a huge 500Kb Word document. You will need to open and save it out from either MS Word, or the free LibreOffice to reduce it down to small double-digits in size.
    Sharon, there is a Yosemite community under the general category of MacOS & System Software. Post your Yosemite questions there, and you should get competent answers to your questions. Responders to your question(s) will want to know the year and make of your Mac, how much memory is installed, and if you upgraded to Yosemite from Mavericks, or an older OS X installation. The Apple > About this Mac can provide useful info. Be as concise as you can while still conveying the issue you want resolved. If you are running anti-virus software, state that as it is a known performance and stability decrement for OS X.
    Yosemite is now one revision beyond the base release. Each new iteration of updates to Yosemite will fix bugs, attend to some usability issues, and improve performance. I am running Yosemite on a 2014 MacBook Air with 4GB of memory. It has been flawless — if not overly art-deco for my taste.

  • Why does my Acrobat Pro 9 PDF print driver either lock up or become confused as to where it should store a file when printing a document from within the Firefox browser?

    I use Adobe Acrobat Pro 9.4.5 for creating .pdf files on a Windows XP SP3 platform. Firefox 6.0.2 is my browser of choice. This question only applies to the .pdf printing process. All other printer drivers work fine with this version of Firefox.
    In attempt to save paper, I choose to print most documents in an electronic .pdf format using the PDF print driver and save them to my USB drive. Before upgrading my Firefox version to 6.0.2 this process seemed to work fine but after upgrading the .pdf print process seems to be experiencing problems. This particular printing process will cause Firefox to lock up when the distiller tries to print the file to what I believe is a temporary folder under the Adobe folder. When it does this I am sometimes able to force it to complete the process but frequently it will only produce a log not a .pdf file. On other occasions the distiller will just lock up mid print without producing any kind of error message. In both cases I will frequently have to use Windows Task Manager to break out of the process which then shuts down the Firefox browser. I don't seem to have any problems when I use Internet Explorer to perform the same function. As far as I am aware I am running the most current drivers as Adobe automatically pushes down updates to me as they become available. Any ideas how I can overcome this issue or is it inherent to the new version of Firefox?

    The PDF file itself does not control the "print as image" preference, which should always be turned OFF unless there's a specific need to rasterize the entire page, and is turned off by default in all Acrobat and Adobe Reader installations.
    What's the filetype for the ultralight font and what export setting* are you using in ID? If you're exporting to earlier than PDF1.7, OpenType fonts will be converted and may experience some small changes in shape if their hint definitions aren't done right.
    *As a side note, bear in mind that InDesign does not use any part of Acrobat when exporting PDFs, so questions specific to that stage in the process should be posted to the InDesign forums.

  • Cannot save or print from within Pages

    I can no longer save or print pages documents. Those menu items are grayed out. All I can do is open, close or start a new document, I've tried trashing the pref file to no avail. I also can only open pages documents from within the program, clicking on them doesn't open them even though it will open Pages itself.
    Any suggestions?

    Did you try running Pages from a different account?
    Did you check the Console (Applications > Utilities > Console) for suspicious entries?
    Did you try repairing permissions on the volume? (Applications > Utilities > Disk Utility > First Aid > Repair Disk Permissions (I recently heard that hardly ever fixes any problems, but it is easy to do in the background and it doesn't hurt.)
    Did you try to reinstall Pages?

  • Cannot open pages documents "index.xml file is missing"

    Working on an iMac Mountain lion and using pages 3.0.3.  Just today, none of my pages documents will open.  I haven't stored anything in the cloud, I haven't changes anything, just working on the pages documents  simple text.
    The last thing I did with it was to print the file, as I have so often before.  I have a MacBook with the same pages app, but running on Yosemite -- bought a new version of pages.
    The MacBook will open .pages files stored on that hard drive, but files taken from the iMac will not open on the MacBook.
    I'm in a tight.  I have a vast number of documents as I've been using pages for years.

    By default, Pages v5.5.2 on Yosemite saves out a Single File format document, which is a compressed renamed zip folder that the Finder allows us to believe is a document. When you attempt to open that document from within Pages '08, or Pages '09, you get the following dialog:
    The Pages v5 generation documents do not use an internal index.xml file. Pages v5.5.2 also allows one to change that single file format document into a package file format document, which is not a compressed, renamed folder. When you open one of these package format documents in the older Pages applications, you now get a different dialog message. The index.xml file is still missing, but…
    If you are using Pages '08 v3.0.3, or Pages '09 v4.3, there are no newer versions of these applications available. This is an Apple attempt to steer users to a Yosemite update, and then downgrade to the latest Pages applications that now require Yosemite. They could have just said, “we made a document format that is incompatible with older Pages applications.”

  • Video Attachments will not play within the mail program.

    When trying to view a video attachment from within the mail program it will not play the video. It loads the sound but not the video. This started after a recent apple software update. It is happening on several computers also so it is not an isolated problem. Seems to be a "quicktime" issue. I can download them and play them through quicktime but not while in "mail" like I used to be able to do.
    I use "Flip-4-Mac" to view some windoze videos (wmv).

    It's a conflict between QuickTime 7.5.5 and Flip4Mac. Not much you can do but wait for the Flip4Mac people to issue an update. See here: http://www.flip4mac.com/knowledge/kb_0079.htm
