Cannot Open Pages Doc after upgrade

I upgraded to pages 5 on 11/25/13. I created a pages document on my mac, saved the doc and now the message I get is that I need a newer version of pages to open the document. Suggestions?

When you upgraded Pages, the old Pages version was kept. In this case, you are opening the old Pages version by mistake.
To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Pages version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Then, every time you want to open a document, first open Pages by pressing its Dock icon.
Another option would be to remove the old Pages version, but I do not recommend you to do that. Most users have complained about the lack of features of the new Pages version. See > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT6049?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US

Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to OS 10.6.8. Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software. Can you help?

Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to OS 10.6.8. Bought the upgrade online so cannot reload the software. Can you help?

How did you buy it online? Did you buy a registration number from the Apple Store?
Then you can download the Trial version from this link:
Aperture 3.1 Trial
and run Software Update immediately after installing.
Go to the Applications folder and delete Aperture.
Download the Aperture 3.1 Trial.
Open the Aperture Trial disc image.
Double-click the "Aperture Trial.mpkg" file.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install Aperture.
After the installation completes, choose Software Update from the Apple () menu.
Cannot open aperture v3 after upgrading to OS 10.6.8.
But what exactly is the error you get, when you try to launch Aperture? Maybe you need to do more than updating.

Can't open Pages docs despite upgrading

I have newly edited Pages docs that I cannot open despite my system telling me that all Apps are up to date and that the latest Pages is "installed".
My OS has been updated too. What's up? I get this error message repeatedly no matter what I try.

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.
Earlier version of Pages 5 can not open Pages 5.2 files.
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 elsewhere 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 any docs after upgrade

After upgrade to 10.6 can't open any documents

What were the format of the documents? What application, and version of application that opened them? What printer make and model# are you using? Have you installed Rosetta using the 10.6 installer disc?

I cannot open InDesign files after upgrading to CS6.

Error message is "Cannot open the file *.indd. Adobe InDesign may not support the file format, a plug in that support the file format, a plug-in that supports the file format may be missing, or the file may be open in another application" Can anyone help!

That message means exactly what it says, more or less. The three possibilities are it isn't an InDesign file at all (we see that here a lot), there is a .idlk lock file in the same folder (delete it), or the file has been damaged (frequently happens with flash drives).
If you open the file in a plain text editor like NotePad or TextEdit (it will look like gibberish) and paste the first few lines here we may be able to tell you if the file is damaged or not an InDesign file.

Pages not opening word *.docs after upgrade to Snow Leopard

Just up graded to Snow Leopard and tried opening word documents in Pages and no joy! "This document ** couldn't be opened. I am running iwork09. It was all working fine previously. Any ideas?

Welcome to Apple Discussions
Make sure you are using the latest version. For iWork '09 it's Pages 4.0.2 & Numbers 2.0.2. I don't use Keynote, but it should also be updated.
If you're not running the latest versions & Software Update says your software is up to date, make sure the applications are where the installer initially put them. The updaters are very picky. If the location is not where the updater is programmed to look or if the folder doesn't have the name the updater looks for, it will not work. The applications cannot be renamed or moved. They must be in the iWork '08 or iWork '09 folder in Applications. That iWork folder must be named iWork '08 or iWork '09. If it doesn't have the '08 or '09 Software Update won't find them & the updaters won't work.

CANNOT OPEN iPHOTO LIBRARY AFTER UPGRADE

I had a routine upgrade message last night so hit Install. My iPhoto logo changed from the yellow with palm tree to a new one with a blue background and a flower. There was an error message during the update of my library (24000 images) and now says my library is corrupt and should be opened from back up. I plugged in my EHD with the back up, previously there had been the iPhoto Icon with the palm tree. That had gone and was a blank page logo. I hit open and was told it needed to upgrade my library to work with the new iPhoto. This is what had happened on the MacBook Pro (Mar 2011) and failed during upgrade.
I have a time machine from 10 days ago and I can afford to go back to then as I can still back up any work not in my iPhotos library. Photos saved in folders outside the library work fine. I use Adobe CS5 Photoshop for my main images but all my shoots automatically store in IPhoto library. Could I be storing them better?
Thanks
Jules

Back up corrupted to, thank God I got apple care, they talked me through! I opened iPhoto icon from the dock while holding CMD and ALT, I got four options, I tried all of them and after three had failed I did the rebuild option that said only to use after the other had failed. Worked a treat.

Problem opening Google docs after upgrade to Safari 7.1

I was using these spreadsheets and documents just fine until the last upgrade to 7.1
Now the pages start to load and then flash on and off, will not hold on the screen and finally display an error message: "A problem repeatedly occurred with __docname___" The only option given is to "Reload Page" which results in the same error message.
How can I get back into working with these Google docs?

Why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0?

why can't I open my numbers docs after upgrade to 3.0? I have downloaded Maverick. I had the same problem with Pages at first. Is there any way to get my spreadsheets back? I'm nervous about upgrades anymore.

If you recently updated to Mavericks and updated the Numbers to 3.0 then it is likely you are trying to open a Numbers 3.0 file with Numbers 2.3.
Numbers 2.3 Numbers 3.0
Be sure you are careful about which version you are launching and using to open files. If you want to be able to open a file in Numbers 2.3 then you should continue using Numbers 2.3 (which is located in the folder "/Applications/iWork '09")
If you already opened a Numbers file in 3.0 and saved if but want to open in 2.3 you can export from Numbers 3.0 by using the menu item "File > Export To > Numbers '09..."

Pages 5.2 opens all kinds of other document formats (even old .doc Versions), but cannot open Pages 08 etc. of its own kind?
I have to use NeoOffice to open my documents of many years of work.
Is there an option to organize a corporate complain to Apple to be heard?

We have been doing nothing but for 10 months.
Here is the response:

Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1

Can't open Word docs after updating to Pages 5.1. Have newest Mavericks OS.

I could open .doc and .docx files when I originally purchased Pages 4.3 in July 2013. After software was updated to 5.1 January 2014 I can no longer open any .doc or .docx files. Now, when I try to open one, is says for example: "PET.doc" can't be opened.
**You, know what? I just tried to save a pages document and it won't even let me do that. Saying I don't have permission to move. I double checked my sharing & permissions and that's not the problem. I can't even export the file to anything else (pdf, word, etc). Says the same thing: "Document.pages couldn't be moved because you don't have permission to access folder. To view or change permissions, select the item in the Finder and choose File > Get Info."
So it seems the entire app is crap. Although like I said it worked fine pre-update.

I have the ipad2 with the latest Os upgrade. On certain websites, I get the following error message: cannot open page. Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost. I have rebooted, turned off wifi and reset the password.

This is happening to only certain websites. Unfortunately, the work ones that I need to access. I appreciate any help.
Error message:
Cannot open page
Safari cannot open the page because the network connection was lost
I reset the wifi and the password, I also rebooted several times.

Do you have any other browsers on your iPad? If you don't have one, why don't you try downloading one of these free browsers - they will all be "lite" versions (not full featured) - but if you can access these websites with one of those - then I assume that we can point to Safari as being the culprit. That will not solve the Safari problem, but it will give us another point from which to work.
http://www.google.com/search?client=safari&rls=en&q=free+ipad+web+browsers&ie=UT F-8&oe=UTF-8
I have Mercury, iCab Mobile, Opera, Dolphin and Atomic. iCab Mobile - the paid version is great.
BTW ... have you tried to access these sites from another WiFi connection - like a library, a friend's house - any other WiFi network?

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.

"Cannot open page....server stopped responding"

This is the second time that my ipod errors out.
1. when using safari i get this error message " cannot open page...server stopped responding"
2. any app that connects to the internet times out. ie weather, bankofamerica
--I tried resetting everything allowed. last time i had to restore the ipod which i lost all my music i paid for at the itunes store (yes i know i should of backed it up.... )
--its not my router cuz im tried different wifi locations and it doesnt help
can someone please help me....

We all wish WiFi was simple to use, plug and play, etc. but it is not. You need some understanding of networking to know what is going on. You can Google "wireless networking" and get some basic understanding of what is happening.
Your iPod is telling you that it is not connected to a network. You have a network strength meter in the top left of your screen and you have the network information in Settings > WiFi.
Start with these steps:
1. Reset your network settings (Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings
2. After your iPod restarts, log back into a network using Settings > WiFi > Other network
3. Type in the network name, security used, and the password, if needed
4. If your iPod connects, you will get a check mark displayed next to the network name.
5. Tap the blue arrow (>) next to the network name and look at the information displayed. If your IP address starts with 169.x, you are not connected to that network and further trouble shooting is required.
Write back with lots more details. Like the network you are connecting to, the router used (if it is your home network), and so on.
