how to do it easily and quickly?

If you have already installed Pages 5.2, 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:

  • I cannot open Pages files

    After upgrading to Pages 5, I cannot open Pages files sent to me by other people.  It does not matter whether they were created in Pages 08, or Pages 5; if they were created on another computer, I cannot open them. Any thoughts?
    (I use a MacBook Air, OSX 10.9.2 and Pages 5.1)
    Thanks!

    The Pages 5 fiile format uses a complex zipped package that is not understood by anyone outside of the Apple employees responsible for it.
    This creates problems when they are transfered by anything other than iCloud or Apple's server software.
    Pages 5.1 is the particular culprit. Astonishingly the point release is incompatible with Pages 5 and 5.01 files. Something that does not bode well for the future as Apple very, very slowly tries to dig its way out of the hole it has made for its users with the New Pages, Numbers and Keynote.
    The increasing number of Pages 5.1 users who are reporting they can not open Pages 5.1 files with Pages 5.1 is eliciting no visible response from Apple. Certainly no warning to its users to avoid the fatal consequences of using its software.
    Since all Pages file formats are essentially incompatible and proprietary, with virtually every other system out there, it is actually an improvement using Pages '09 because it is a settled format and parsable to a certain degree where the Pages 5 file format is obviously not.
    Pages '09 works, so why not use it where Pages 5 does not?
    If the whole change is disturbing you, as it should, then it would be wise to seek an entirely different solution. We are recommending looking at LibreOffice [free] which is maturing nicely, is available on all leading paltforms and uses open, parseable formats with a degree of confidence totally absent for Pages.

  • My 3G cannot open page in safari because the address is invalid

    I have had to reset my 3G iPhone and it is saying that it cannot open page because the address is invalid in Safari.  Can someone guide me through how to fix this situation?
    Thank you

    Thanks kiltedtim, that was really helpful. Why didn't I think of that?? But funny enough despite the error message it still loads the page because the address is CORRECT. But it means acknowledging an unnecessary error message for every page you visit! Useful answers please...

  • HT4796 I cannot open any files transferred from the PC to my MAC as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

    I cannot open any files transferred from my Windows PC to my Mac as I am "not authorized". How can I correct this?

    Select the folderr containing all of those files, CMD+I, click on the lock, enter your admin password, add yourself with read & write, and click on the action button and select apply to enclosed items. That should do the trick. BTW, I don't have a PC, so i've not transfered any such files to my machine.

  • Cannot open Pages File, Please HELP

    Hi,
    I've just had disaster happened to me. I've moved about 1GB of data from computer for Flash drive. When attempted to eject thumb drive, it kept saying, drive is in use. Stupid me just removed that drive. Using Data Rescue I've managed to recover the files, but.... All of them are corrupt
    Most important file to me is Pages document I was working on for the whole day. I can see files inside 'package' of that .pages file, but none of them could be opened.
    Is there a way of repairing that file? Or at least, is there a way of extracting text from it, that's what I care about the most...
    Any help, suggestions is appreciated....
    Thank you all!

    Hello
    How is your flash drive formatted?
    I assumes that it is not in a format correctly treating packages.
    When we have to copy a document made with an iWork application, it is safe to pack it as a zipped archive.
    Doing so get rid of a lot of problems.
    In a Pages document, we may see:
    a -- a subfolder named Contents and an other one named QuickLook. Don't touch them.
    b -- several picture files corresponding to images inserted in the document.
    When the doc is in good health, double clicking these files open them in their creation application.
    c -- index.xml.gz which is a packed version of the XML file describing our document.
    If we double click it, it expands as index.xml which may be read in any XML aware application.
    I met some Pages documents whose all items open perfectly but whose the XML file appears as corrupted for Pages.
    It seems that something was wrongly described when the file was created so that Pages is unable to re-read it.
    May you pack one of your odd files as a zip archive, attach it to a mail and send it to
    koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
    I would look at its components and if it appears to be the kind of described corruption, I wish to be allowed to send it to Apple.
    I assumes that with some samples of corrupted files they would be able to identify what is the wrongdoer.

  • Firefox won't open localhost files, it downloads the file instead and then won't show images, IE9 localhost works fine.

    I have installed XAMPP to preview web pages locally. Everything works fine in IE9 but not in Firefox. When I load a localhost page Firefox downloads the file, then displays the downloaded file without showing images within the page.
    So, in IE9 the address bar looks like this (correctly): http://localhost/my_sites/WebMaestro/Exercises/Lesson8/changeImage.html
    In Firefox the address bar looks like this: file:///C:/Users/Rog/AppData/Local/Temp/changeImage-3.html

    Are you using a Firefox extension like '''Auto Save Document ''' ? If you are using then you need to disable it. The documents are stored as html-text only (no embedded objects like pictures etc.) As a result the images don't appear on browser.

  • Downgraded to version 10.3, cannot open pdf files or download videos to my ipod touch using a mac

    I get a message about changing the brower's plug ins I have no idea what this means.

    You can disable the Adobe Reader plugin in Firefox (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins) and use the external Adobe Reader application or Preview application instead.
    *Firefox > Preferences > Applications > Adobe PDF document : Use Adobe Reader
    PDF files may also be found under another entry like Portable document.

  • My Safari can´t open .dmg files after downloading

    I updated to Mac OS X 4.9. But since this update, Safari cannot open .dmg files after downloading! On 10.4.8 it was not a problem. What can I do?
    eMac G4 PPC   Mac OS X (10.4.9)  

    Darn...I thought that would do the trick.
    Given the other problems you mention, more and more, it seems a reinstall of the OS, using Archive and Install is going to be necessary. Have you ever done an Archive & Install of the OS? Important you carefully read the description of the process. If you are uncertain, I find the Take Control Upgrading to Tiger E-zine to be a very helpful guide.
    Once you reinstall the OS, then you can upgrade to 10.4.8 using the combo update, repairing permissions via Disk Utility in your Utilities folder when complete.
    One question: Not sure why you have run into all these problems on the 10.4.9 upgrade. It worked without problem for me. Anything unusual happen during the install?

  • I updated the pages software yet I'm still on the previous update and cannot open my files. Help!

    I updated the pages software version 5 yet I'm still on the previous update 4.3 and cannot open my files. Can anyone help?

    Have you checked that you are opening the new version? To check this, open a Finder window, select Applications in the sidebar and open the Pages app with the new icon, so you will get the new version.
    Your problem is caused because Apple decided to keep the old iWork applications version after installing the new one. The only thing you have to do is to open it from the Applications folder, or drag the new version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly

  • Cannot open Pages documents that I've worked on.  I open a new document, work on it, then save and close it.  When I try to open the document again, I get the following message: The document "[name]" could not be opened. The file isn't in the correct form

    I have downloaded the latest update to iWork, but that doesn't help.
    I use Mac OSX 10.6.7
    I am using Pages '09 version 4.0.5 (852)
    If anyone can help, I would greatly appreciate it.
    Best regards,
    New York Mac User

    A few general trouble shooting tips that may apply here:
    1. If you used Software Update to do the OS update(s) to reach 10.6.7, go to http://support.apple.com/downloads/ and download and apply the Mac OS v10.6.7 Combo Updater. The Combo Updater contains some fixes that were not included in the incremental updaters used by Software Update.
    1a. Check that you have the current version of Pages (and of the other iWork applications) installed. All three applications' current version numbers end in .0.5
    2. A common cause of malfunctioning applications is a corrupted preferences file (.plist file). Your Pages '09's plist is at yourname > Library > Preferences > com.apple.iWork.pages.plist
    Quit Pages, locate the file and Drag it to the Desktop (or to the Trash).
    Restart Pages and attempt to open one of the files.
    If all is well, Trash the plist file and empty the Trash.
    If there's no change, AND you've made changes to the Preferences that you wish to keep, drag the file back to its previous location, replacing any new one that has been created.
    Regards,
    Barry
