Cannot save documents after updating to Pages 5.5.2

After updating to Pages 5.5.2, I can no longer save or edit documents. It just says that (document name).pages can not be created. Same thing happens if I try to export to .docx or .pdf. Please help, I can no longer work, the update completely broke my program.

Hello mckayj93,
It is hard to say why it is not allowing you to save or export a file, but try deleting pages from your Mac and then download it again so it will install a fresh copy if you think it was something to do with the update. There will be a record of Pages associated with your Apple ID so it will not charge you to download it again.

A strange "cannot save" message keeps occurring in Pages

A strange "cannot save" message keeps occurring in Pages since the Mavericks/Pages 9 update.
"The document “08-13-31 Kobayashi Japonisme_captions.pages” could not be saved. The file has been changed by another application."
AFAIK, no other application has changed the file.
I click override and save the thing and all seems to be well, but it is very, very disconcerting.

Many features have been removed from Pages 5 see:

Meanwhile it probably is best to continue using Pages '09 if that is possible and if you are unhappy with Pages 5 give it a review and rating in the App Store.

Update to latest patched version that no longer relies on Rosetta and PowerPC
Visit www.RoaringApps.com for a list and table of what version is supported, can be updated and which are not.
A year ago this was news.
Hopefully people kept a boot drive with the old OS so they could dual boot for a month or two whiile sorting out the changes and updates.

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.

How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document

How do I save documents from the new Pages into a Word Document?

Thank you so much - so simple! I had been using the 'share' option (worked in old Pages) and only had icloud or email as options. I have to attach word documents to emails to send to work. I don't want to use icloud because it's too public and I don't trust it. Also, you have to be able to access the internet and I need word documents on my USB stick for work where there's no internet.
I love my Mac but I do wish Apple would remember those of us living in less-than-perfect computer-land.
Thanks again

How do I save documents from iCloud into pages on my ipad?

HOw do I save documents from iCloud into pages using an ipad?

Where are you expecting to see "iCloud document?" Pages stores copies of your documents in iCloud but the documents appear in the Pages app. When you edit the document changes are automatically saved to iCloud. You do not go to iCloud to look for documents to open or copy.

photos on screen saver gone after update of apple tv

Welcome to the  Discussion Forums
Why are you looking in a shared library, is itunes set up as a secondary library.
See This
If you are set up as a primary library you need to look in my tv shows.
When you say you have reinstalled everything, does that include itunes (if so how did you do that), does it include rebuilding your itunes library.

Can't see my pages documents after updating to IOS 6

After updating my iPhone 4 to IOS 6, now I can't see my pages documents in the cloud, what in the **** happen after updating?
Can anyone help me?
Thank you in advance

Did you tried to make a new one?
If that's not working, remove Pages from Multi Tasking and Force Restart your iPhone by holding Power & Home buttons until restarts. (Ignore "Slide to Power off.)

Keynote - cannot save document

Hi, anybody knows how to solve this problem? I am creating a keynote document with quite a lot of pictures. After the 3-4 slide I could save the document with no problems. I am in the 11th slide now and suddenly, when I tried to save the document it told me: "Couldn't auto-save document"
I've tried to reduce file to no avail.
If anybody has a good suggestion of what the problem is I'd really appreiciate it. I've been working on it for hours and I am afraid if I close Keynote I would loose the document -

I have 21 slides. Latest everything (OS, Keynote etc...). No problems until I added some more pictures and now I get the same message.
Every time I try to save my file, I get "Couldn't auto-save document".
Honestly, this is so pitiful, by a mega rich company that tells us continually that they produce amazing stuff. Yes, Keynote truly is amazing. Powerpoint does not have these amazing problems. What is auto-save doing anyhow? There are no setting for auto-save, nothing in the help files. I am not asking it to auto-save. I just click "save" but uncle Apple knows best, and fails. Sounds like my wife's iPad iOS 8.0.2 in which Pages is really unstable. I guess Apple cannot afford proper testers.....?
I can duplicate the document and it seems to save that new file fine.

I cannot delete cookies after updating to 9.0.1, also when opened, I have 2 new cookie files that disappear when FF is closed.

I have uninstalled/reinstalled 9.0.1, the same thing happens. Checked my Profile, cookies.sqlite is there when FF is closed or uninstalled. When installed and opened, I have 2 new files, cookies.sqlite-wal and cookies.sqlite-shm, along with cookies.sqlite. Is this the reason I can't delete cookies? Also I have, and have had enabled AdBlock Plus and Privacy Browsing. After updating, I can't post anything to FF Support (this is my 4th attempt, finally used Safari to post) and files under Tools, such as Clear History are accessible, I shouldn't have a History to delete.
(1st edit)
OK. I reinstalled FF 9.0.1 from Safari, but not directly from Mozilla. I used CNet, now things are working like they should. I have no cookies listed, except the ones I want. Private Browsing is working properly. However, I still have those 2 extra cookie files; -wal and -shm.
(2nd edit)
I spoke too soon. After accessing sites that I frequent, the 'ad' cookies are back (adbright, realmedia, 247realmedia) and the site cookies are eliminated, not there, gone. Now I can't login to anything and am back to Safari to access FF Support Forum. Do I have a bug? Someone please help, I'm desperate, I hate IE, Safari, Chrome, etc. They have neither the level of ad and pop-up elimination that Firefox has; nor, do they have the level of customization that Firefox has. The 2 extra cookie files, -wal and -shm, are still there when FF is open, and gone again when FF is closed. One more thing I noticed, I have a Chrome Support Application file in my Library. Could the Chrome cookie file interfere with FF cookies? I wouldn't think so, I have Safari, as well, and neither browser has ever interfaced with the other before.
(3rd edit)
I have uninstalled/reinstalled FF, all of my add-ons and also tried deleting the cookies.sqlite document from the FF Profile file, to no avail. I have counted, there are 14 sites listed in the Preferences>Privacy>Show Cookies pane (no pun intended) and they are all "ad" sites. These sites are also listed as blocked sites in Adblock Plus. Until someone answers, I give up, I don't know what else to do. There was only the one time that the cookies were gone from the Show Cookies pane, every other time I uninstalled/reinstalled anything, they were still there. So, until someone helps me, I'm stuck. The only thing I have not done is deleted the Profile file altogether. That is the last thing I want to do, unless I can save my bookmarks somewhere to move back after reinstallation. If this isn't rectified within a few days, I may just try that, too.

Do you have an extension like TACO (Abine) or TrackerBlock that maintains a set of OPT-OUT cookies?
* Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out (TACO): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/targeted-advertising-cookie-op/
* TrackerBlock: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/trackerblock/
* Beef Taco (Targeted Advertising Cookie Opt-Out): https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/beef-taco-targeted-advertising/
If you do then you need to disable or uninstall such an extension.
If clearing the cookies doesn't help then it is possible that the file cookies.sqlite that stores the cookies is corrupted. 
Rename (or delete) cookies.sqlite (cookies.sqlite.old) and delete other present cookie files like cookies.sqlite-journal in the Firefox Profile Folder in case the file cookies.sqlite got corrupted.

Cannot Save Document Leading to Serious Error in InDesign

I'm using both InDesign CS3 and CS4 in Mac OS X 10.5.5
We recently got a new printer at work (Xerox 700 Digital Color Press). Since then, I've had major issues saving some of my documents. Immediately after printing a document duplexed, It says this when I try to save: "Cannot save the document. It may be opened by other applications. Close applications and try again. You may also use saveas to save it into a new document." If I cancel and do a save as to another location, InDesign immediately crashes saying a serious error has been detected and must shut down. The same thing happens if I close the document without saving and try to open that same file again. I've tried this with files located on our server as well as my hard drive with the same results.
Fortunately, restarting the computer resolves this problem (although only until I try printing it duplexed again). If I print it without duplexing, It will save just fine. No other applications I use are having this problem. As a temporary solution, I've been printing the job to the hold and then changing the settings on the printer to make the job duplex. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the entire creative suite as well as deleting the preferences and other settings, but none of those things have helped.

I managed to find a workaround to this problem. Hopefully this'll be useful for anyone else with this problem until the problem is resolved by Adobe.
After you close the document without saving, rename the file. When you open the file, it will open as a read-only document. Do a "Save As" to another location. You can then move the file you just saved to where it belongs. However, you won't be able to delete the previous file until you restart the computer.

Flash CS6 cannot save document

I am posting a new discussion of this since I couldn't find an answer for this for a Windows computer. I am using Windows 8.1 and Flash CS6 using the Creative Cloud Application.
Whenever I try to save a .fla document it gives an error saying it "cannot save the document as [filename] try changing the filename or file location".
I do work over a network but have been saving the file to my desktop and moving it back to my network file when I'm done editing it. But now its happening even with local files on my desktop. Is anyone else having this issue or found a fix?

Hey mediachic,
We have done a lot of troubleshooting for this issue and with NO help from Adobe support what so ever. They just keep repeating that they don't support individual networks and advise not to open or modify files over a network as it may/will cause corrupted files and not allow you to save. Try having them save the file to a local drive or flash drive and work on the project from there. So far this is the only work around that we have found for this but it is not bulletproof. We still have some users that are crashing in flash just not as often. Also, make sure there are no pending updates for Flash if there are update Flash and reboot. Hope that helps. Best of luck!
